The Dauntless Youths Episode 17 Recap
> The Dauntless Youths Recap
Young Kunwu came up with a plan and resolutely decided to use himself to draw away the pursuers, hoping with all his heart to bring his sister a chance to survive. Kunwu ran wildly, seeing no way out ahead, and in desperation, he had no choice but to leap into the river. Fortunately, all hope was not lost, and he miraculously survived. However, his sister was unfortunately discovered and taken away by the Imperial Preceptor.
Thereafter, he could only live anonymously, barely surviving, while his family was mercilessly branded with the crime of rebellion. The Kun family had always possessed the ability to use illusionary arts. Now that his sister's magic was being forcibly suppressed by the Imperial Preceptor with drugs, Kunwu secretly vowed in his heart that he would do everything possible to rescue her.
Jiang Wenhan, however, felt that Kunwu's identity was extremely special, and if he acted carelessly, it was highly likely to implicate the entire Prince's Camp, thus a foolproof plan had to be devised. On the other side, the Imperial Preceptor received a mysterious secret letter, from which he learned that there was a former subordinate of Marquis Nanbo within the Prince's Camp.
He suddenly thought of E Shun, and immediately decisively ordered someone to come and change the plan, intending to eliminate Marquis Nanbo's people root and branch to prevent future troubles.
Kunwu expressed with deep sorrow that his days as a slave had made him completely lose hope of living, and it was only after meeting Jiang Wenhan and learning that his sister was still alive that he was forced to make a deal with E Shun, solely to rescue his sister. Jiang Wenhan, however, still could not forgive Kunwu for concealing his identity.
At this moment, soldiers hurriedly arrived at the Prince's Camp, conveying the news that the Sacred Wedding would be held tomorrow. It turned out that the Imperial Preceptor had sent soldiers to observe E Shun's expression, and now that it was verified, he intended to use the Sacred Wedding tomorrow to lure Kunwu into a pre-set trap. Kunwu secretly sent a message to Jiang Wenfeng, but unfortunately, Jiang Wenhan stumbled upon him midway and intercepted the carrier pigeon.
At this moment, Kunwu came with a pot of wine to thank him for his help over the past few months, and stated that he had already confessed his identity to the imperial court and would definitely not implicate the Prince's Camp. Jiang Wenhan angrily threw out the slip of paper, and then Kunwu fainted.
It turned out that Jiang Wenhan had quietly put an M drug in the wine; he was worried that Kunwu would go to rescue Qingqing the next day. Jiang Wenhan hid on the rooftop, carefully throwing the antidote, which he had rushed to make overnight, to Qingqing. This medicine would allow Qingqing to use illusionary arts for half an hour, during which time he would create chaos in advance to create an opportunity for Qingqing's rescue.
Chong Yibiao was responsible for guarding Kunwu, ensuring he would not disrupt Jiang Wenhan's meticulously planned scheme. The Sacred Wedding officially began. Kunwu looked for Jiang Wenhan everywhere, and Jiang Wenhan was very surprised by his sudden appearance; the two immediately started fighting. At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor ordered his generals to pay attention to E Shun's movements and ensure his capture. He even ordered the Sacred Wedding to start early.
Upon learning that the Sacred Wedding was advanced, Jiang Wenhan hastily ran into the crowd. Qingqing saw her brother approaching and, without hesitation, used illusionary arts, causing everyone to faint one after another. When Jiang Wenhan and Kunwu woke up, they found that Qingqing had disappeared. The common people, not seeing the Saintess, mistakenly believed she had ascended to heaven and hastily began to kowtow.
The Imperial Preceptor was awakened by the noise and immediately ordered a search for the Saintess's whereabouts. The Chaste Maiden's monitoring revealed that Qingqing's destiny had actually changed. Doubt immediately arose in her heart: could someone truly alter predetermined fate? At this moment, a white-clothed woman ran frantically through the streets, deliberately attracting the attention of the pursuers. Only then did everyone realize it was not the Saintess, but Jiang Yiyao.
Just as the soldiers were about to act, Chong Yibiao fortunately arrived in time to save her. It turned out that she had used the stratagem of "golden cicada shedding its shell" to help Qingqing escape successfully. Qingqing hid in the back alley, trembling with fear, but fortunately, Kunwu and Jiang Wenhan found her in time. Jiang Wenhan made a decisive decision to draw away the pursuers, allowing Kunwu to take Qingqing to safety.
During their escape, Jiang Wenhan unexpectedly encountered the Chaste Maiden, who seemed to see her own future in him, realizing that he was her fated one, and she stabbed him with a sword. After Jiang Wenhan woke up, the Imperial Preceptor came to inquire about the source of his injury.
He falsely claimed that he saw someone abducting the Saintess at the Sacred Wedding venue and intended to stop them, but he was injured and fainted, fortunately being rescued by the Chaste Maiden. With this statement, along with the Chaste Maiden's testimony, the Imperial Preceptor finally dismissed his suspicions about him. On the other side, Kunwu and Qingqing escaped to the outskirts, where they found a carriage already prepared. It turned out that Jiang Wenhan had arranged everything in advance.
