> Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin Recap
Xiao Pingjing was called to the patrol camp early in the morning. He learned that the heads of five of the seven major horse farms had a secret meeting last night, but the content of the meeting was unknown. This had never happened before, and these people didn't reach an agreement and were planning to meet again. Xiao Pingjing told his elder brother Xiao Pingzhang about this. Xiao Pingzhang angrily told him not to meddle in this matter anymore.
Xiao Pingjing said that he would definitely not do anything out of line, and that listening to the horse farm people's conversation at night was not too much. Xiao Pingzhang tacitly agreed. At night, Pu Yangying learned the result of the seven major horse farms' discussion. The horse farm managers decided to seek victory in danger and ambush the Northern Yan envoy delegation in the suburbs.
They believed that as long as Northern Yan Prince Hui was injured, the two countries would fall out, and peace talks would naturally fail. Pu Yangying disdained these managers, considering them a group of simple-minded fools. He didn't care if the horse farm people succeeded or not, but he planned to make good use of it.
He also learned that Xiao Pingjing had eavesdropped on the content of the horse farm managers' meeting and ordered his subordinates to plan a way to make the interception happen an hour earlier. Pu Yangying informed Xiao Yuanqi of the location of Grand Lady Laiyang's tomb. After learning this, Xiao Yuanqi, dressed in military attire, immediately went out with his sword, disregarding his butler's attempts to stop him.
In fact, this was merely Pu Yangying's method to lure him to the location of the Northern Yan envoy delegation. Xiao Pingjing set off with his troops behind him, preparing to rescue the Northern Yan envoy delegation. However, he was actually an hour late. Xiao Yuanqi was in great pain in front of his mother's tomb when Duan Tongzhou suddenly appeared. Pu Yangying deliberately brought up the ambush of the Northern Yan envoy delegation and Xiao Pingjing to him.
Xiao Yuanqi guessed that Pu Yangying deliberately told him this, certainly having a scheme. Pu Yangying, however, claimed that he wanted Xiao Yuanqi to deliver a message to Xiao Pingzhang, doing him a favor. Xiao Yuanqi hurriedly left. He rushed all the way to Changlin Manor, where Xun Feizhan happened to be, also worried about Xiao Pingjing. The Northern Yan envoy delegation's convoy, escorted by a small contingent of troops, grandly set off towards Jinling City.
Princess Chonghua, who was to marry into Great Liang this time, was also among them, appearing quite impatient. In front of the guards of Han Hai Sword, Tuoba Yu, they suddenly discovered a group of people blocking their way; it was the people from the seven major horse farms. The people from the seven major horse farms revealed their identities, asking Prince Hui to return, and urged their horses forward to challenge.
However, the fifth expert of Langya was not someone these mere rabble could contend with. With a flash of sword light in front of Tuoba Yu, the person who had urged his horse forward to challenge had already lost his sword-wielding arm. The others didn't even see him draw his sword. Xiao Pingjing arrived with a large contingent of troops at this moment.
The people from the seven major horse farms scattered immediately upon seeing the government soldiers and threw darts towards Prince Hui's carriage. Xiao Pingjing and Tuoba Yu were both startled and immediately went to investigate. They saw the cold-faced Princess Chonghua calmly lift the curtain and, having caught all the darts, threw them to the ground. It turned out that this cold-faced princess was secretly skilled, with impressive martial arts.
She met Xiao Pingjing's gaze for a moment, her face stern, revealing a provocative expression. Xiao Yuanqi finally rushed to Changlin Manor in a great hurry, telling Xiao Pingzhang and Xun Feizhan about seeing Duan Tongzhou and believing he was targeting Xiao Pingjing. The three immediately rushed to the scene of the incident. At the location of the Northern Yan envoy delegation, Duan Tongzhou indeed appeared at this moment, but he did not attack Prince Hui's carriage.
Instead, after injuring a few soldiers, he turned and left. Xiao Pingjing indeed fell into the trap, sending others to escort the Northern Yan carriage while he pursued. Duan Tongzhou led Xiao Pingjing deep into the mountains and forests. As the two shuttled back and forth among giant trees and withered branches, locked in a fierce battle, Duan Tongzhou suddenly revealed his long-ambushed troops, completely surrounding Xiao Pingjing.
After Xiao Pingzhang arrived at the Northern Yan envoy delegation with Xiao Yuanqi and Xun Feizhan, he immediately went alone to search for Xiao Pingjing, leaving only Xun Feizhan and Xiao Yuanqi to protect Prince Hui. Prince Hui heard that it was the second young master of Changlin who had just rescued him and praised his exceptional intelligence. Xun Feizhan was puzzled, but Prince Hui reminded him that someone was missing from the Northern Yan contingent.
As Xiao Pingjing was trapped in the encirclement, two fists were no match for four hands, and he was in great peril. He falsely claimed to have fallen into a trap and could not escape death, trying to trick Duan Tongzhou into revealing the mastermind behind it. Duan Tongzhou, however, coldly stated that Xiao Pingjing shouldn't even dream of extracting information before he breathed his last.
Duan Tongzhou wielded his "Netherworld Ghost Fire" palm force, striking an empty blow that broke a tall tree. Xiao Pingjing was attacked from front and back, besieged by multiple attackers, but he fought with increasing bravery, slaying many enemies. Just as Duan Tongzhou was about to deliver the final blow, Tuoba Yu suddenly burst out from mid-air, killing several assassins and standing back-to-back with Xiao Pingjing, causing Duan Tongzhou's pressure to sharply increase, forcing him to fight with utmost concentration.
Duan Tongzhou was only one rank higher than Tuoba Yu on the Langya List, which ignited Tuoba Yu's competitive spirit, leading to a fierce and inseparable battle with Duan Tongzhou. Xiao Pingzhang and Xiao Yuanqi finally arrived with cavalry. Xun Feizhan also followed soon after. The five men combined to encircle and suppress Duan Tongzhou. Duan Tongzhou, in his panic, was cornered at the edge of a cliff.
Tuoba Yu, seeing a rare opportunity, proactively challenged Duan Tongzhou to a one-on-one duel, hoping for a change in the Langya List rankings. The two were evenly matched and fought for a long time without a clear winner. Ultimately, while dodging Tuoba Yu's sword edge, Duan Tongzhou lost his footing and fell off the cliff. Xiao Pingjing sustained minor injuries and sought Lin Xi for bandaging. Xiao Pingzhang criticized him for being too reckless.
Xiao Pingjing explained that he had long ago enticed Tuoba Yu to follow him by explaining Duan Tongzhou's palm prints, believing himself to be in no danger. Meng Qianxue, however, deliberately brought up Xiao Pingjing's old engagement to Lin Xi. Unaware of the true situation, she explained to Lin Xi that the engagement period had passed, and Prince Changlin would find Xiao Pingjing another marriage next year, using this to test Lin Xi.
Lin Xi softly said that the matter had nothing to do with her and stood up to leave. Meng Qianxue blamed Xiao Pingjing for not speaking up, calling him too foolish. Pu Yangying learned of Duan Tongzhou's death. Although he didn't show much on his face, he was greatly shocked internally.
Xiao Yuanqi, after being enlightened by Xiao Pingzhang at Changlin Manor, returned home, took out his cherished mother's last letter, thought long and hard, hesitated for a long time, and finally burned it.
