Legend of Fei Episode 8 Recap
> Legend of Fei Recap
The Di Sha extensively spread in the city that the bandits had not been eliminated. Using a chest of copper coins and lots of grain as bait, they incited the people to provide information, either for profit or out of hatred. Xie Yun disguised himself and, accompanied by Mister Bai, came to where the crowd gathered.
After careful observation, he found that Shen Tianshu and Chou Tianjin on the stage never interacted, showing that they indeed had grudges against each other. To lure the fish that had escaped the net into falling into the trap, Chou Tianjin deliberately left Chen Fei alive, but he was tortured to the brink of death. Even if he was desperately rescued, he certainly would not live for long.
Xie Yun clearly knew the logic behind this, but having gone through all the previous events, he had already considered Chen Fei a friend, so how could he truly stand by and do nothing as he died? Seeing that reasoning didn't work, Mister Bai suddenly hooked up a stone with his foot and, in full view of the public, shot it into Chen Fei's forehead, causing him to die on the spot.
This also prevented the Di Sha from accidentally discovering their tracks. Chen Fei's death made Xie Yun more concerned about Chen Zichen assisting Huo Liantao and secretly recruiting soldiers, which led to the disciples of Huojiapu burning, killing, and looting everywhere, wondering what their true intentions were. Mister Bai put an end to Xie Yun's thoughts of risking himself. He did not regret what he had done.
Instead, it was Xie Yun's questioning that made him more eager to defend Chen Zichen. Chen Zichen's original intention was to make friends with Jianghu people to use them in the future to resist Yu Wenzhi. Huojiapu is a mixed bag, and the actions of the people below are truly difficult to control. Xie Yun did not need Mister Bai's evasive words; he only needed him to understand who the person who just died had suffered for and died for.
Chen Fei's life hung by a thread. If Zhou Fei knew, she would surely crawl to save him, but she did not appear, which made an ominous feeling rise in Xie Yun's heart. Xie Yun's feet felt as heavy as a thousand catties, yet he still had to turn back to find Zhou Fei's whereabouts, but in a moment of desperation, his heart was attacked, and he spat out blood.
Returning to his residence, Chen Zichen learned the whole story and actually knelt down to ask for Xie Yun's forgiveness. As things stood, Xie Yun didn't want to blame anyone anymore. Chen Fei's death was originally fate, and perhaps it was not a bad thing for him to be relieved earlier. Xie Yun knelt down on the spot and offered a libation of wine as a tribute.
The only compensation he could make now was to find Zhou Fei's whereabouts and protect her safety. At present, the two sides of the Di Sha were searching every household in the city. Chou Tianjin was focused on the Wu family's children, while Shen Tianshu was more concerned with checking the household registration, ordering his subordinates to look for suspicious men using portraits. Xie Yun knew without guessing that Shen Tianshu's target was Chen Zichen.
Originally, this place was just a place for Chen Zichen to contact Huo Liantao. Later, after the change occurred, he could not bear to see the refugees in difficulty and ignore them, so he insisted on staying in the city to distribute grain to the people. Even the common people knew that Huarong was safe, so how could Shen Tianshu not know that this place was where Chen Zichen was hiding?
Fortunately, the matter of household registration had already been prepared properly. Chen Zichen hid in a secret compartment in the bookshelf, while Mister Bai, Xie Yun, and a subordinate pretended to be a father and two sons. They had just avoided the search of Chou Tianjin's men the previous moment and were then met with Shen Tianshu's men. After the Di Sha carefully identified the appearances of the three, they were originally ready to leave.
Who knew that Chen Zichen was careless for a moment and coughed out loud, causing the leader to turn back. This made him suspect why an ordinary civilian's home would have a bookshelf. Just as the other party was examining the items in the bookshelf one by one and was about to touch the mechanism, Xie Yun suddenly pretended to be afflicted with consumption, thus barely escaping a disaster.
Chen Zichen's army was stationed not far away and could arrive in seven or eight days. If they learned that the prince was trapped, they would surely send troops to rescue him, which was exactly Shen Tianshu's objective. The Di Sha colluded with Yu Wenzhi. If something happened to the prince in enemy territory, it would be enough for Yu Wenzhi to make a big deal out of it. This was also the root of Xie Yun's worries.
The current situation was unfavorable. Xie Yun came up with a plan: Chen Zichen would send someone to deliver a letter to Huojiapu, and it was essential that the Di Sha saw the letter entering Huojiapu. Chou Tianjin obeyed Yu Wenzhi, and Shen Tianshu had always been at odds with Chou Tianjin. Although he didn't know what Xie Yun's move was ultimately intended for, he was confident that an opportunity would soon arise.
The reason Zhou Fei did not appear in the city was that she was held back by the red-clothed woman in the backyard. This woman did not give way an inch, preventing her from going out and getting into danger. Moreover, after Zhou Fei made her move, she recognized the Breaking Snow Saber. Zhou Fei was easily immobilized by the other party. Seeing that she inquired about Li Zheng, she did not deceive her.
Who knew that the red-clothed woman actually claimed to be her maternal great-grandmother. Zhou Fei didn't know why, but she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, falling to the ground. After she woke up, she learned from Wu Chuchu that the red-clothed woman was the famous Guanxi Ku Rong Maneuver Jiuniang, who Li Jinrong had mentioned before. Zhou Fei still couldn't believe that this crazy woman before her eyes was actually a renowned heroine in the Jianghu.
The two learned from the servants who carefully attended to Duan Jiuniang that, back then, her young master didn't know whom he had offended, which attracted the Di Sha to send people to hunt them down. She fled with the infant in her arms and was fortunate to be helped by Duan Jiuniang. Two fists were no match for four hands.
Duan Jiuniang also needed to be distracted to protect the infant in her arms and was temporarily at a disadvantage. At this moment, Li Zheng, dressed in white, descended like a hero, easily taking the lives of the Di Sha. This figure thus remained in Duan Jiuniang's heart, unforgettable for a lifetime. Even when she was often foolishly insane, the only person she thought of was Li Zheng.
