Word of Honor Episode 28 Recap
> Word of Honor Recap
Han Ying was carried back to report to Prince Jin. He lied that he had taken Window of Heaven’s assassins to search for the Glazed Armor but was ambushed by Scorpion’s killers. He fought his way out but was seriously injured, and all others perished. Han Ying suspected a mole in Window of Heaven.
Prince Jin, unfazed, thanked him for bringing back a piece of the Glazed Armor and said he had already sent Duan Pengju to continue the search, telling Han Ying to rest at home. Duan Pengju went straight to Zhao Jing to negotiate, persuading him to work for Prince Jin and promising that he would be made leader of the martial world afterward. The two quickly reached an agreement. Outside, the Scorpion King overheard everything.
Zhao Jing, in great spirits, drank heavily until he passed out. The Scorpion King brought him tea to sober up. Zhao Jing bragged about his cooperation with Prince Jin, and the Scorpion King pretended to be happy for him. Zhao Jing decided to wait and see how things unfolded, not wanting to bet everything on Prince Jin. If Prince Jin gained power, he could still switch sides.
The Scorpion King volunteered to pledge allegiance to Prince Jin on his behalf, and Zhao Jing did not object. Duan Pengju soon reported to Prince Jin, revealing that Zhou Zishu had secret contact with Han Ying. Prince Jin had long suspected Han Ying and was surprised that someone was still working for Zhou Zishu after his disappearance. He pretended not to know, intending to lure Han Ying into exposing himself.
Han Ying sneaked into Prince Jin’s mansion at night to search for the Glazed Armor. Poison Bodhisattva, upon hearing that Duan Pengju had come to Yueyang, threw herself at him. As the two were entangled, the Scorpion King came and promised to give him the Glazed Armor. On New Year's Eve, Wen Kexing bought many window decorations. Zhang Chengling began pasting them early in the morning while Wen Kexing supervised.
Zhou Zishu couldn’t help but tease Wen Kexing, saying he only bought so many to please the little girl selling them. Wen Kexing forced Zhang Chengling to kill a chicken and make soup. Zhang Chengling grabbed a knife, but the frightened chicken flew away, making him scream in terror. The Heroes Conference began with great fanfare, and all sects came to participate. Zhao Jing was overjoyed.
Gu Xiang kept vigil alone on New Year’s Eve and felt very lonely, but unexpectedly, Cao Weining, Fan Huaigu, and Mo Weixu came to celebrate with her. The once quiet courtyard was soon filled with joy and laughter. Gu Xiang was very happy. Zhao Jing, drunk, went to the ancestral hall, loudly cursing Li Yao and boasting to the deceased about his current life and status, declaring that next year he would return as the leader of the martial world.
The Scorpion King brought sobering tea to Zhao Jing and witnessed his hideous face firsthand. He also saw the relics of the dead that Luofeng Meng had mentioned. Zhao Jing, enraged, forcibly drove the Scorpion King away. Wen Kexing quickly prepared a table full of dishes and wine. Zhou Zishu, Wen Kexing, and Zhang Chengling drank happily together as firecrackers roared and fireworks lit up the night sky. Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu played drinking games.
Zhang Chengling went out to watch the fireworks and suddenly saw Han Ying, covered in blood, arrive at Four Seasons Manor. He quickly informed Zhou Zishu. Han Ying, struggling, took out a piece of Glazed Armor and handed it to Zhou Zishu, hoping he could collect all the pieces, open the armory, and retrieve the Yin-Yang Manual to treat injuries. Han Ying recounted everything in detail.
After realizing Zhou Zishu's identity had been exposed, he killed all the Window of Heaven agents and framed Scorpion. Knowing Prince Jin would soon find out the truth, he tried to find something useful for Zhou Zishu before escaping. He sneaked into Prince Jin’s study and, after much effort, found a piece of Glazed Armor but was discovered by assassins. Thanks to Xingming’s help, he barely escaped Jinzhou.
In Prince Jin’s study, Han Ying found a secret letter stating that Zhou Zishu’s father had been framed and killed by the late Prince Jin. Zhou Zishu didn’t believe it. Han Ying was gravely injured and might not live long. Zhou Zishu immediately descended the mountain to find Ping’an, hoping Da Wu could treat Han Ying.
