King is Not Easy Episode 17 Recap
> King is Not Easy Recap
Looking at the border defense map, Ji Man was full of worries. He hadn't expected the situation to be so bad, and he himself was a little scared. After Da Xi heard this, she quickly encouraged him, which made Ji Man regain his confidence. Ji Man looked at the border defense map and saw Wucheng (Fog City) on it.
He found a general and learned that Wucheng would be shrouded in thick fog in the morning, which would only dissipate at noon. He then had a plan in his mind. The general realized that Ji Man had an idea and was very happy. Since Da Xi couldn't help with the military matters, she used her cooking skills to prepare a lot of delicious food for the soldiers, hoping they would be full and have the strength to fight.
Ji Man had just thought of a brilliant plan, and then he watched Da Xi busy herself, smiling with great satisfaction. The next day, Ji Man led his soldiers to raid the Queen Mother of the West's tribe, attempting to conquer it in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother of the West's tribe was brave and skilled in battle. They were defeated by the Queen Mother of the West's army and fled.
Ji Man led his troops to a cliff near Wucheng, where thick fog obscured the path. Ji Man led his soldiers to pull on vines and hide beneath the cliff. The Queen Mother of the West's army pursued them to the cliff. Several soldiers fell off the cliff due to the thick fog obscuring the path. The Queen Mother of the West's general left two soldiers to guard and then withdrew with the rest of the troops.
Ji Man led his army up from the cliff, killed the two soldiers, and escaped from the predicament. Da Xi came to find Ji Man but was stopped outside the camp. She unexpectedly overheard soldiers saying that the King had fallen off a cliff. Da Xi refused to believe it and desperately ran to Wucheng to check, calling out Ji Man's name.
The Mountain God appeared, moved by the love between Da Xi and Ji Man, and specially pointed out the way for her. Under the guidance of the Mountain God, she found Ji Man and his team, and seeing Ji Man safe, she finally felt relieved. Ji Man hadn't expected Da Xi to come to such a dangerous battlefield just to find him. The two embraced tightly.
Da Xi complained that he shouldn't have kept her in the dark, but Ji Man felt that the fewer people who knew about such matters, the better. This made Da Xi very angry; she cared about him so much, yet he didn't appreciate it. Da Xi left in a huff by herself, only to be captured by the Queen Mother of the West's soldiers.
Ji Man saw Da Xi leave in a fit of pique and didn't expect her to encounter danger. He thought she was just having a minor tantrum and didn't go after her, returning to camp with his generals and soldiers. It wasn't until night that Ji Man still hadn't seen Da Xi.
Ji Man was getting anxious when he received a letter from the enemy, stating that they had captured Miss Da Xi and would only return her if Ji Man went alone. Upon learning that Da Xi had been captured, Ji Man was furious and decided to go alone to rescue her.
The general heard that the King was going to the enemy camp to rescue Da Xi, knowing it was an enemy ploy, strongly objected and ordered soldiers to guard the main tent, forbidding Ji Man from leaving. The next day, on the battlefield between the two armies, the general of the Queen Mother of the West's forces brought out Da Xi, who was bound tightly, to threaten Ji Man.
Ji Man and Da Xi looked at each other with tears in their eyes. To ensure Da Xi's life, Ji Man deliberately showed indifference towards her. Ji Man raised his bow and arrow, shot and killed a soldier standing next to Da Xi, and then commanded his army to engage in a great battle with the enemy. Seeing the bravery of the Great Zhou army, the Queen Mother of the West's army hastily retreated with Da Xi.
Although the Great Zhou dynasty achieved a great victory, Ji Man could not be happy. Da Xi's whereabouts were unknown, and Ji Man's heart was filled with worry. He ultimately decided to launch a night raid on the Queen Mother of the West's tribe to rescue Da Xi. Shao Yong understood Ji Man's feelings, so he did not try to stop him further, letting Ji Man do what he wanted to do.
Ji Man arranged the military affairs, handed over the army to Shao Yong, and infiltrated the Queen Mother of the West's camp alone. He knocked out a soldier, changed into their uniform, and managed to discover that Da Xi was imprisoned in a cave. He rushed to the cave to rescue Da Xi.
Ji Man killed the soldiers guarding the cave, wounded the chief protector who was trying to persuade Da Xi to surrender inside the cave, and rescued Da Xi. As the two were escaping, they encountered more Queen Mother of the West's soldiers. Ji Man was injured in the fight, but with his last breath, he pulled Da Xi onto a warhorse to make their escape.
