The Dauntless Youths Episode 19 Recap
> The Dauntless Youths Recap
Upon seeing that their young master Kunwu was not dead, the old subordinates of the Kun family all prostrated themselves and kowtowed repeatedly. However, Xin Jia recalled the scene just now, where everyone was like zombies, and couldn't help but feel a lingering fear that was hard to shake off. At this moment, General Lin solemnly advised Kunwu that he must take Qingqing far away from Zhongli, as this was something the old master had specifically instructed.
Kunwu earnestly pleaded with General Lin to tell him why the Kun family suffered the calamity of being wiped out that year. General Lin's thoughts drifted back to that night, when the old master hastily entered the palace upon receiving an imperial decree, waited outside the palace for an entire night, but could not even catch a glimpse of the little lion.
Thereupon, the old master resolutely led his men into the sleeping quarters and, to his surprise, found his wife had turned into a madwoman. When his wife saw her husband approaching, with a trace of remaining lucidity, she said she had found "that thing" and earnestly urged her husband to kill their daughter. But the old master was full of doubts and did not understand why.
Finally, the old general, under duress, killed his wife, but still did not know what "that thing" his wife spoke of truly referred to. General Lin recalled that everyone present at that time had drunk the well water. After drinking it, they became bloodthirsty and frenzied, neither alive nor dead, just like his current state. Therefore, he voluntarily let Kunwu reach out and touch his heart, and Kunwu was startled to realize that General Lin had no heartbeat.
Jiang Wenhuan was full of questions and couldn't help but ask General Lin if he had ever heard of the Elixir of Immortality. But General Lin shook his head blankly, stating that he did not know. Afterwards, he led everyone slowly towards the cave. Inside the cave, there surprisingly lay an uncorrupted corpse, covered with strange crystal stones. Xin Jia curiously reached out to touch the crystal stones.
General Lin, seeing this, hastily stopped him, but found that Xin Jia showed no abnormalities. Therefore, General Lin speculated that these crystal stones only harm special individuals like them, indicating that they are specifically used to control zombie-like people. Xin Jia examined it closely and found that this uncorrupted corpse actually had no skin. This made Kunwu recall his mother's last words: "The Saintess must be burned by fierce fire, and her skin must be offered at the top."
It's clear that this skin must have another purpose. On the other side, the Grand Tutor carefully wrote a secret letter to Shangshan. In the letter, he was full of confidence, firmly believing that he could intercept and kill these princes on Qingluan Mountain. Soon after, all the generals quickly rushed towards Qingluan Mountain, each one fierce and aggressive, determined to completely wipe out Jiang Wenhuan and the others.
Jiang Wenhuan, Kunwu, and the others endured hardships and found an exit from the back of Qingluan Mountain. At this moment, the soldiers were also preparing to retreat. As General Lin was rock climbing to escape, he made a careless move and almost fell onto the crystal stones. Fortunately, he was caught in time by Jiang Wenhuan. However, Jiang Wenhuan himself was scratched by the crystal stones.
At first, he didn't pay attention, but when it was his turn to climb and escape from there, he suddenly felt his entire body go weak. Seeing this, Kunwu, without hesitation, turned back into the cave to save Jiang Wenhuan, tied himself tightly to Jiang Wenhuan, and exerted all his strength to climb upwards. At the same time, everyone was under siege by the Grand Tutor's soldiers, with arrows constantly shooting in.
Although Kunwu was shot and wounded, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, not giving up on the rescue. Finally, the two successfully climbed out, and together with everyone, they repelled the Grand Tutor's men. Afterwards, General Lin solemnly took off his Kun family nameplate, resolutely hid his identity, expressed his willingness to re-emerge into the world, and closely follow Kunwu. When the Grand Tutor learned that his men had been defeated, he immediately became furious and uncontrollably enraged.
Therefore, he immediately ordered more troops to be dispatched to strictly guard all exits of Qingluan Mountain, absolutely not allowing Jiang Wenhuan and the others to come out alive. Jiang Wenhuan, injured and unconscious for a long time, woke up to find himself in a deserted house within Qingluan Mountain, where everyone was temporarily hiding.
On the other side, the Grand Tutor, harboring malicious intentions, used the pretense of the Prince's dereliction of duty to maliciously frame him for letting the princes go to Qingluan Mountain, thereby causing a great disaster. Therefore, the Grand Tutor placed the King under house arrest, and he himself grandiosely declared that he would act as regent, successfully ascending the throne. E Shun cleverly concealed the physical condition of General Lin and the others from the other princes, only explaining the injustice, and the others did not become suspicious.
