Fighting for Love Episode 8 Recap
> Fighting for Love Recap
After all, Qingzhou was Shang Yizhi's father's old territory, and logically, they should give the old Marquis some face. A Mai felt something was wrong. She carefully looked around and found many hidden guards in the secret compartments. Cold weapons gleamed coldly. Shang Yizhi was completely unaware and was even preparing to give the two unconscious old officials some trouble.
Suddenly, he saw A Mai constantly giving him glances, noticed the hidden guards, immediately knew when to stop, and quickly got away. Returning to his residence, Shang Yizhi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seemed the Dark Dragon Guard had already arrived here, and things would be more difficult than easy from now on. The Eldest Princess's former subordinates offered advice to Shang Yizhi.
Hearing that out of the three old officials, two were directly sleeping on the table, they speculated that their intentions were not united and that he should continue to play his former strong suit for now. Shang Yizhi felt that lying low was a wise move. The next day, he again played the part of a profligate son, swaggering through the streets with his entourage, spending lavishly everywhere he went.
Everywhere they went, they were buying, buying, buying - fabrics, cosmetics, precious jade articles, and antiques. A Mai bought hairpins and various clothes for Xu Xiuer. Xu Xiuer was so excited her cheeks turned red when she saw A Mai personally put the flower hairpin on her. A Mai reminded Shang Yizhi that his actions were not yet grand enough.
He immediately went to the most famous wine shop nearby, bought all the wine in the shop, and announced that he was treating all the people of Qingzhou to drinks. Never had they seen an official spend so lavishly. Shang Yizhi's style quickly captured the hearts of all the merchants in Qingzhou. They privately called him the God of Wealth. Several old Marquises had already planted many spies around Shang Yizhi.
Hearing about Shang Yizhi's daily expenses and purchases, they exclaimed about the profligate son and how he had brought so much silver. In the evening, Shang Yizhi's military advisor suggested that it would be better to use the valuable wine bought during the day to lure the 'gentlemen' into the trap. If they could take down the three commanders of Qingzhou, things would be decided by Shang Yizhi's people from now on.
They planned the next day's major event all night, sending invitations in advance to ask the three commanders to drink. However, on the appointed day, only two arrived. The original plan for the whole situation was about to fail. A Mai also felt a sweat in her heart. Fortunately, Shang Yizhi's acting was online.
First, he put on a show with singing and dancing, called in beauties to add wine and dishes for the two gentlemen, and then looked for an opportunity to escape. This finally made the two of them lower their guard. Shang Yizhi used the dagger on his person to fix the door of the latrine, seizing the opportunity to escape. The two commanders drank, their consciousness gradually becoming blurry. In reality, Shang Yizhi had quietly lit a knockout incense.
A Mai and Mu Bai borrowed a carriage and sedan chair, originally intending to take Shang Yizhi and escape Qingzhou, but the absent Official Qian had already sealed the city gates, preparing to wait for their arrival. A Mai, Shang Yizhi, and the others were confined to a house by Official Qian and were not allowed to go out. The three commanders discussed a plan to eliminate Shang Yizhi.
Since he was the defender of Qingzhou and the Marquis's only heir, if he suddenly died in Qingzhou, it would certainly be investigated, and they might even be made scapegoats. These three shrewd commanders did not dare to lay hands on Shang Yizhi to eliminate him. Official Qian came up with a scheme: have his servants quietly escort Shang Yizhi to a place for manual labor, where the heavy physical work and unclean food would quickly end his life.
A Mai secretly ran out and inquired everywhere about where Shang Yizhi was being held. The place was heavily guarded, and all the guards were trusted confidantes of Commander Qian. No one was allowed entry without permission. A Mai brought famous wine, originally intending to bribe the guards, but at the entrance, she saw an old woman pleading bitterly with Commander Qian to spare her young grandson.
As a result, she was severely beaten by Commander Qian; the whip in his hand struck the old woman mercilessly. It seemed he was truly a ruthless tyrant. A Mai quickly sought a countermeasure.
