> Nirvana in Fire 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin Recap
Xun Anru resolutely leaped off the city wall. Xiao Yuanqi staggered to her corpse and knelt down. He picked up Xun Anru from the pool of blood and cried heartbrokenly. Xiao Yuanqi had originally wanted to share the world with Xun Anru, but he never expected such an end. However, everything today was merely the result of his perverse actions, his just deserts. It was only a pity that Xun Anru's life was sacrificed.
Di Ming returned to Chaoyang Hall alone. He walked to the Emperor and drew his sword, declaring that he did not care whether Xiao Yuanqi or Xiao Pingjing became emperor. He only believed that the young emperor Xiao Yuanshi was completely unfit to rule, and intended to force the young emperor to commit suicide.
The young emperor tremblingly reached for the sharp blade Di Ming had plunged into the ground, but in the end, he did not dare to pick it up. Di Ming sighed, and just as he was about to personally kill the young emperor, Xun Feizhan and Xiao Pingjing, who had long since sneaked into the hall and hidden, immediately rushed out. Di Ming was completely unprepared and had his throat locked by Xun Feizhan's move.
Xiao Pingjing quickly left with the young emperor. Xun Feizhan considered that Di Ming had once performed meritorious military service for Great Liang and was now merely misled and exploited, so he did not kill Di Ming but only knocked him unconscious. Xiao Yuanqi was at this moment completely immersed in the grief of Xun Anru's death, unable to extricate himself.
He walked aimlessly, step by step, holding Xun Anru's blood-soaked corpse, completely unaware that Xun Feizhan and Xiao Pingjing were escaping Chaoyang Hall with the young emperor. Xun Feizhan was also greatly saddened upon seeing Xun Anru's corpse in Xiao Yuanqi's arms. However, the safety of the young emperor was paramount, so he could only forcibly suppress the pain in his heart and protect the emperor as they left.
When Di Ming awoke in the main hall, Xiao Yuanqi only then discovered that the young emperor had been rescued. He flew into a rage, claiming that Xiao Pingjing had succeeded by exploiting Xun Anru's death. However, he stated that he still had another trump card. Xiao Pingjing and the two others went to hide in a pigeon loft in Jinling, but this place had already been monitored by Xiao Yuanqi.
The three of them quickly rushed out again and returned to the residence of the Lin Royal family. To their surprise, the residence was already heavily ambushed; hundreds of archers and infantry swarmed out from all directions. Xun Feizhan and Xiao Pingjing protected the emperor, fighting and rushing, finally taking refuge in a study.
It turned out that when Xiao Pingjing was eight years old, he had unintentionally discovered a secret passage in this room, and this time he intended to use it to escape. After he finally managed to open the secret passage door with great effort, Xun Feizhan instructed him to leave first with the young emperor, while he himself voluntarily stayed behind to cover them both.
Xun Feizhan strode out of the hiding room and was surrounded by armored soldiers, yet the many soldiers feared his superb martial arts and dared not advance. At this moment, Xiao Yuanqi and Di Ming led a large force, tracking the whereabouts of Xiao Pingjing and the two others all the way to the Lin Royal residence, joining with the ambush troops and blocking off the entire residence so that not even a drop of water could pass.
Upon seeing Xiao Yuanqi, Xun Feizhan's eyes turned red with anger. He sternly rebuked Xiao Yuanqi as a traitor and rebel, and questioned Di Ming why he would pledge allegiance to someone like Xiao Yuanqi, who colluded with foreign enemies. Di Ming had originally thought Xiao Yuanqi was the true hero who repelled the Eastern Sea's attack. Upon hearing Xun Feizhan's words, his heart immediately stirred.
Xiao Yuanqi, seeing that his misdeeds were about to be exposed, quickly interrupted Xun Feizhan and proposed a duel with him. Having successively lost his uncle and cousin, and currently enraged, Xun Feizhan readily accepted Xiao Yuanqi's challenge. Xiao Yuanqi made the first move, his sword strikes extremely vicious. Xun Feizhan remained calm and composed, his swordplay righteous and impregnable. After all, he was a master from the Langya List.
After a few rounds of grappling with Xiao Yuanqi, Xun Feizhan kicked Xiao Yuanqi flying. Xiao Yuanqi touched the bloodstains on his body, understanding in his heart that he had no chance of winning if he continued to hold back. He finally went all out, unleashing Mo Zihou's unique Golden Crow Water Moon Sword Technique. His figure instantly became blurred, creating countless afterimages that covered the entire courtyard.
Under Xiao Yuanqi's full-force attack, Xun Feizhan could only see countless figures darting around and temporarily failed to locate Xiao Yuanqi's true body. In a fleeting moment of distraction, Xiao Yuanqi seized the opportunity and plunged his sword deeply into Xun Feizhan's body. Xun Feizhan suffered this severe injury, spitting blood and collapsing unconscious to the ground. After Xiao Yuanqi defeated Xun Feizhan, the soldiers also found the secret passage within the royal residence.
However, when he led his men through the secret passage, he discovered that its end was none other than Mei Changsu's old residence. By this time, Xiao Pingjing had already vanished without a trace with the young emperor. Meanwhile, the loyalist army outside the city officially began their attack.
Tan Heng and others, who had been lurking in the city, tricked the Donghu Feathered Forest troops guarding the city gates away, then directly opened the city gates to welcome the loyalist army. With inside support, the loyalist army entered Jinling city without encountering any resistance. Di Ming prepared to return to the palace city with Xun Feizhan.
Despite his severe injuries, Xun Feizhan disregarded them and endured the pain to remind Di Ming that the moves Xiao Yuanqi had just used were precisely Mo Zihou's Golden Crow Water Moon Sword Technique, indicating that Xiao Yuanqi had clearly colluded with Mo Zihou. Only then did Di Ming seem to understand Xiao Yuanqi's true nature. He suddenly became disheartened and utterly despondent, dismissing his personal guards who had followed him for years.
He left Xun Feizhan alone beneath the city wall and returned to Chaoyang Hall himself. After he left, Xun Feizhan finally could no longer hold on, spitting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing to the ground with wide, staring eyes. The loyalist army, meeting no resistance, arrived directly outside the palace city gates. At this time, Xiao Pingjing also escorted the emperor to the loyalist army's formation.
Upon seeing the emperor, the loyalist army immediately cheered "Long live the Emperor!" , and the soldiers, shaken by the immense shouts, all chose to lay down their weapons. Only He Cheng drew his bow and arrow, aiming directly at the young emperor's head.
