Handsome Siblings Episode 30 Recap
> Handsome Siblings Recap
Holding the shoes her daughter had left behind, the proprietress of the small tavern cried, saying that recently a rapist specialized in girls around ten years old, and several girls had already gone missing nearby. Hua Wuque told Grand Master Yan Nantian that the culprit hadn't gone far and they should pursue him now. Grand Master Yan Nantian said there were too many hardships in the world, and his two hands couldn't help everyone, then he left.
The next day, Grand Master Yan Nantian led Hua Wuque to the Myriad Flowers Tower. Hua Wuque said he didn't expect Grand Master Yan Nantian to come to such a place and was unwilling to enter. Yan Nantian said that Xiao Yu'er had been detained by Mr. Tong, and Mr. Tong insisted that he go wherever he was told.
Hua Wuque thought to himself, if he didn't go with Grand Master Yan Nantian, what would he use to trade for Xiao Yu'er with Mr. Tong? The two walked into the Myriad Flowers Tower. The madam brought a few girls over, but Yan Nantian found them unattractive. After several groups of girls, he was still not satisfied. Wei Mayi told him not to cause trouble. The two started fighting, and Wei Mayi was knocked to the ground.
When he heard that the person standing before him was Grand Master Yan Nantian, he couldn't help but tremble with fear. Yan Nantian pointed his sword at him and asked where the girls were. Wei Mayi quickly said he was wrong, then led Yan Nantian to a dilapidated room. Yan Nantian saw several bound girls inside and couldn't help but step forward, wanting to untie their ropes.
Unexpectedly, Wei Mayi behind him secretly triggered a mechanism under his foot, and several ropes shot out from both sides, binding Yan Nantian firmly. He proudly said that these cold iron ropes were specially prepared for Grand Master Yan Nantian. He walked up to Yan Nantian with a knife, about to strike, but was controlled by Hua Wuque, who arrived just in time.
It turned out that Hua Wuque had deliberately arrived a step late to provide support for Grand Master Yan Nantian. Yan Nantian told Wei Mayi that if he agreed to two conditions, he would spare his life: first, to safely send these girls home, and second, to close the Myriad Flowers Tower. Wei Mayi quickly agreed.
After this incident, Yan Nantian felt that Hua Wuque's conduct was different from that of the Yi Hua Palace, and he gained much goodwill towards him. He told Hua Wuque that he no longer needed to follow him, and they agreed to meet seven days later in Fengqiao Town. Murong Jiu drew the flower sea cottage from her memory at home. She thought of Black Spider. Little Fairy and Gu Renyu took her shopping.
The two were busy chatting and picking things when they turned around and found Murong Jiu missing, so they quickly went to look for her. At this moment, Murong Jiu asked everyone she met on the street if they knew Black Spider. The people asked all shook their heads, saying they didn't know. Just then, someone said he could help her find Black Spider. This person was Jiang Yulang.
Xiao Yu'er and Tie Pinggu had walked for a day and a night in the secret passage and still hadn't exited. They were tired and hungry. Suddenly, Tie Pinggu saw an arrow on the wall, but Xiao Yu'er said they couldn't follow the direction of the arrow. He explained that it might be a mark left by monks avoiding bandits, who feared getting lost and wanted to return to the temple smoothly.
Therefore, they should walk in the opposite direction of the arrow. Tie Pinggu felt that Xiao Yu'er's reasoning was sound. The two continued forward. After an unknown duration, they were so tired they couldn't walk anymore and slumped to the ground. They thought they were going to die there. Suddenly, Xiao Yu'er saw a mouse run past in front of him and exclaimed in surprise that they were saved. Tie Pinggu said, "Isn't that just an ordinary mouse?"
Xiao Yu'er replied, "There's no food in this cave, so how could there be such a fat mouse? It must have come from outside." The two continued forward. Xiao Yu'er discovered many boxes ahead, and upon closer inspection, they were the silver shipments of the Twin Lions Escort Agency. They continued towards the cave entrance and saw two people sitting ahead. One was Jiang Yulang, and sitting opposite him was the gambling fiend Xuan Yuan Sanguang.
Both were staring intently at the meat on the stone in front of them. It turned out that earlier, Jiang Yulang had driven a carriage, bringing Murong Jiu to this cave where the silver shipments were hidden. As he was moving boxes of silver out, Xuan Yuan Sanguang appeared. He pressed him, asking why he was there. Jiang Yulang, knowing Xuan Yuan Sanguang loved to gamble, said he could play a few rounds with him.
If he lost, he would tell him why he was there; if he won, Xuan Yuan Sanguang would have to let him go. Xuan Yuan Sanguang agreed. They placed two plates in front of them, and whoever's plate the mouse ate from first would win. Xuan Yuan Sanguang won eighty thousand taels from Jiang Yulang in a row. Jiang Yulang then suggested they make a bigger bet, with a stake of one hundred thousand taels.
Xuan Yuan Sanguang claimed he had almost lost all the silver shipments to him, asking what else he had to gamble with. Jiang Yulang said he would use a person as a stake, and this person was worth a considerable amount. With that, he led Murong Jiu from the carriage into the cave. Xuan Yuan Sanguang agreed to the bet, but Xiao Yu'er walked out and said it was an unfair bet.
Xuan Yuan Sanguang was delighted to see Xiao Yu'er and asked him why the bet was unfair. Xiao Yu'er explained that mice are most afraid of light. In the previous rounds, the oil lamp was behind Xuan Yuan Sanguang, making the plate in front of him relatively dark, and mice only eat meat in the dark, which is why he won all the previous rounds.
This time, Jiang Yulang secretly placed the oil lamp behind himself, making the plate in front of Jiang Yulang dark, so he was certain he would win, which is why he proposed such a large bet. Only then did Xuan Yuan Sanguang realize, and he furiously cursed Jiang Yulang for cheating. Jiang Yulang quickly tried to explain that it was all a misunderstanding.
Xiao Yu'er said that the silver shipments were right there in the cave, and now that Jiang Yulang was caught red-handed with the goods, if he wanted to explain, he should explain to the innocent souls who died. Seeing his plan fail, Jiang Yulang picked up the knife from the table and held it to Murong Jiu's neck.
Xiao Yu'er saw that he intended to threaten him with Murong Jiu, so he deliberately said, "She has always wanted to kill me, so why would I save her? Besides, with her in Jiang Yulang's hands, how could the Murong family let him off?" At this moment, a group of black-clad masked men walked in carrying cages. They claimed to be there to catch mice.
Opening the cages, they produced special whistling sounds, and many mice scurried out from all directions and obediently crawled into the cages. As the black-clad masked men closed the cages and were about to leave, Jiang Yulang called out to them, saying there were ten thousand taels of silver here. The leader of the black-clad masked men's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked where the silver was.
Jiang Yulang feigned difficulty and said he dared not speak with Xiao Yu'er and Xuan Yuan Sanguang present. Xiao Yu'er regretted not having killed Jiang Yulang earlier. He said he was afraid of mice but not of people, so he engaged the black-clad men. The black-clad men opened the cages and, through whistling sounds, commanded the mice to attack Xiao Yu'er. Xiao Yu'er quickly dodged everywhere, eventually clinging to a rope in the cave.
He asked Xuan Yuan Sanguang why he wasn't acting, but Xuan Yuan Sanguang knew the black-clad men were Wei Wuya's subordinates and, unwilling to offend Wei Wuya, could only stand by anxiously. Just then, Hua Wuque suddenly appeared. The opponents, no match for him, all committed suicide by taking poison. Hua Wuque searched their bodies and found a token.
He told Xiao Yu'er that Wei Wuya's subordinates could be killed but not humiliated, and that defeated individuals committing suicide by poison was their sect rule, otherwise they would die even more miserably upon returning to the Wuya Palace. While Hua Wuque and the others were not paying attention, Jiang Yulang quietly slipped away with Murong Jiu, and Tie Pinggu also left.
