The Dauntless Youths Episode 10 Recap
> The Dauntless Youths Recap
After Kunwu settled A Si, he still kept Jiang Wenhuan in his heart, worried that he was still drinking alone at the tavern, so he turned back without hesitation. Back at the tavern, Kunwu immediately saw Jiang Wenhuan sitting dejectedly on the ground, his face showing his resistance to returning home. Scenes of E Shun enthusiastically helping A Si while being indifferent to him kept replaying in Jiang Wenhuan's mind, and a pang of bitterness arose in his heart.
Just then, an elder slowly walked up to Jiang Wenhuan, gently patted his shoulder, and patiently advised him, as if saying that if friends could communicate frankly, misunderstandings would naturally dissipate. The next day, Jiang Wenhuan arrived at the armory with a complex mix of emotions. He looked at E Shun, his lips moved, but for a moment, he didn't know how to start a conversation.
After a moment of hesitation, he learned from others that it was E Shun who had brought him back when he was dead drunk, and a warm current immediately surged through his heart. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, walked up to E Shun, and sincerely expressed his gratitude.
E Shun, however, merely frowned slightly, his expression still indifferent, and calmly stated that he was also doing it for everyone's good, not wanting to be implicated because of Jiang Wenhuan's matter. Everyone was competing in archery on the field when suddenly, news struck like a thunderbolt: Eldest Son Chong and his wife would also attend the banquet tomorrow. Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards Chong Yibiao.
This was originally an ordinary sacrificial ceremony, yet it brought Eldest Son Chong and his wife, causing Gongsun Wuyu and Jiang Wenfeng to exchange glances, their hearts instantly filled with doubt. After a moment of thought, they decided to go to the city entrance to greet them. Eldest Son Chong saw them and explained with a smile that this visit was to see his brother under the guise of the sacrificial ceremony.
That evening, after carefully dressing up, A Si walked with light steps to the Prince's camp to attend the banquet. The Crown Princess, recognized as the most beautiful woman on the grassland, gracefully walked onto the stage and performed a dance for everyone. Her graceful dance movements were like those of a nimble fairy, astounding everyone present, who all became immersed in it. However, Chong Yibiao sat aside, his brows tightly furrowed, his expression downcast, as if troubled by something.
Seeing this, Eldest Son Chong's lips curved slightly upwards, and he asked Chong Yibiao on the spot if he missed this dance, having not seen his sister-in-law for a long time. Upon hearing this, Xin Jia felt a surge of dissatisfaction. He raised his wine cup and toasted Eldest Son Chong, attempting to defuse the subtle awkwardness. But Chong Yiwu did not want to give up easily. Jiang Wenfeng saw that the situation was bad and hastily interrupted him again.
Chong Yiwu, harboring ill intentions, raised his wine cup and toasted E Shun, specifically emphasizing that E Shun was his savior. His aim was nothing more than to stir up trouble between E Shun and Chong Yibiao. Kunwu, having received E Shun's instructions in advance, his gaze sharpened. He looked directly at Chong Yiwu, asking if he remembered the warning words on the day of his wedding, and also mentioned whether the Libei trade route was still unobstructed.
Upon hearing this, Chong Yiwu's face instantly turned pale. He then awoke as if from a dream, realizing that E Shun was behind the obstructed trade route for the past few years. Sharp words were exchanged between the two, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Jiang Wenhuan, seeing this, his heart tightened, and he quickly stepped forward to defuse the tense situation.
However, Chong Yiwu was relentless, invoking the tribe's highest etiquette, forcibly demanding E Shun to drink three pots of wine in front of everyone. But E Shun's body was already weak; how could he withstand so much strong liquor? Jiang Wenhuan stood by, extremely worried, his brows tightly furrowed. Just at this moment, Chong Yibiao stepped forward, unhesitatingly took the third pot of wine, and tilted his head back to drink it.
Chong Yiwu, holding a grudge, then turned his attention to Madam Xin'er, making her toast Chong Yibiao, and even publicly committing domestic violence against Xin'er. Jiang Wenfeng, seeing this situation, was filled with righteous indignation and stepped forward to stop it. After all, this was a banquet in the Eastern Capital, and such behavior was impolite and would damage the tribe's reputation.
Chong Yiwu remained relentless, continuing to insult Xin'er's background and even deliberately tormenting her, attempting to provoke Chong Yibiao. Chong Yibiao suppressed the rage in his heart, clenching his hands into fists, his knuckles turning white. Although he harbored killing intent, he remembered E Shun's life-saving kindness to him back then.
At the critical moment, he resolutely threw away the sword in his hand, his gaze firm as he declared that Chong Yiwu was not worthy of being killed by him. Afterwards, Chong Yibiao looked at the letter E Shun had given him, repeatedly pondering its deeper meaning, and finally understood E Shun's earnest intentions from back then. He knew deeply that he must become stronger to establish himself in the tribe and achieve great ambitions.
