Legend of Fei Episode 7 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
Zhou Fei woke up in her own room after a night of heavy drinking, completely unable to remember what happened the previous night. Seeing the jade tassel given by Chen Fei placed on the table, and unable to find a place to wear it on her saber, she simply placed it on the table casually.
There was a knock on the door, it was Wu Chuchu, who had come to seek help from Zhou Fei, also a woman, due to a woman's reason. Zhou Fei helped Wu Chuchu, who was suffering from severe abdominal pain, and wanted to go to the medical clinic. She was just feeling fortunate that she hadn't encountered the annoying Xie Yun, but was coincidentally seen by Chen Fei who was coming out of his room.
Zhou Fei patiently and kindly persuaded him, and only by using the reason of taking care of Wu Chuchu's younger brother did she manage to prevent Chen Fei from following. The person behind Huo Liantao was actually the current Third Prince Chen Zichen. Before Shen Tianshu could carefully consider this news, a subordinate came to report that Chou Tianjin had already secretly made his move.
By the time Shen Tianshu arrived outside the inn with his men, Chou Tianjin had already burned the inn into ruined walls and rubble. Zhou Fei and Wu Chuchu were able to save themselves because they went to the medical clinic. The two watched as bodies were carried out one by one. The disciples of the Forty-Eight Strongholds had lost their lives here.
Only then did Zhou Fei truly understand what her mother was guarding, and also understood the determination of her father, Zhou Yitang, to insist on descending the mountain. Zhou Fei forcibly suppressed the grief in her heart, hid in the dark to think of a way to escape, and was determined to find Wu Chuchu's young brother and take them safely back to the Forty-Eight Strongholds.
It's just that they saw with their own eyes that Magistrate Zhu was not only colluding with the Di Sha people but also completely obeyed their words. The Di Sha's actions went smoothly also because the person receiving them at the inn had already become a traitor to the Forty-Eight Strongholds. After Chou Tianjin sent people to count the numbers, he discovered one woman and a child were missing.
Knowing that there were indeed fish that had escaped the net, the Di Sha, with the assistance of the magistrate, immediately sealed the city and sent more men to search in the city. How difficult it was to escape. In order to gather information, Zhou Fei had no choice but to place Wu Chuchu, who couldn't protect herself, in a bamboo basket in a small alley.
She then killed a lone Di Sha disciple by herself, took his clothes, and disguised herself to mix in near Shen Tianshu. She accidentally learned that Shen Tianshu and Chou Tianjin's objectives seemed to be different. Xie Yun had gone out early in the morning to purchase a good saber for Zhou Fei. On the way back, his path was blocked by Mister Bai and he followed him to a farmhouse.
The Third Prince Chen Zichen was dressed in civilian clothes. Seeing Xie Yun arrive, he actually showed happiness, calling him "sworn brother". Then, hearing Mister Bai respectfully address him as Young Master Xiao, their identities and relationship were truly perplexing. Xie Yun was worried about Zhou Fei's safety and couldn't refuse Chen Zichen's kind offer. After all, at this moment, he was merely a useless person poisoned and without internal energy; going would likely be useless.
He could only patiently wait for Mister Bai, who had gone to gather information, to return. The two conversed. Chen Zichen seemed to intend for Xie Yun to go back, saying it was better than living in the open. However, Xie Yun did not want to get involved in court affairs. Only when Mister Bai returned was the stalemate broken. Mister Bai brought back some items left behind by the Di Sha.
Among them was the jade tassel Chen Fei had given to Zhou Fei. During the daytime, the people from the Forty-Eight Strongholds could have forced a breakthrough, but to protect the Wu family's women and children, they had to retreat back to the inn. That's why Chou Tianjin sent people to block off the exits with hundreds of poisoned water poles and burned them alive in the inn.
Zhou Fei again stripped off a Di Sha's clothing from a dead body and returned to the small alley to meet Wu Chuchu. Although there were twists and turns along the way, thankfully, they were safe despite the risks, and successfully sneaked into the backyard of the magistrate's residence, which was not guarded by the Di Sha. Although this place was ultimately not somewhere they could stay for long, it was better than the tense situation outside.
Wu Chuchu was worried about the safety of her younger brother and could only wait for the right moment. Early the next morning, the Di Sha people spread everywhere in the city, slandering the deceased people of the Forty-Eight Strongholds as bandits. They misled the displaced people in the city into believing that the perpetrators who destroyed their homes and families were the people from the Forty-Eight Strongholds.
It was evident that since Chou Tianjin's search yielded no results, he used this method to lure his targets out. A large fire burned everything down. Chou Tianjin was so certain about who was missing not because he was looking for people, but looking for a certain item. Because the item could not be found in the search, the only possibility was that it was taken by a survivor.
Zhou Fei looked at what Wu Chuchu was wearing around her neck, guessing that this was the item the Di Sha coveted, and it was precisely the Shuitian Yise that Shen Tianshu had been investigating for a long time. Just as the two were feeling uncertain and confused, a red-clothed lady acting as if she were mad or foolish suddenly began singing "Picking Lotus Tune". As she sang, she also danced barefoot. Such an appearance showed some charm; she should have been a beauty originally, but it was unknown why she appeared here and became a woman acting crazily.
