Episode 21: Decision

Seeing that Ning Yuanzhou's condition had improved a lot, Ruyi went to the front yard and cried quietly. When Yu Shisan saw it, he came up and teased her, claiming that he was very similar to her and would not reveal his emotions in front of others. He also expressed that heThink about it.Not only that, Yu Shisan also advised Ruyi to have a good talk with Ning Yuanzhou. Ning Yuanzhou might seem to outsiders to be reluctant to let go of Ruyi, but Yu Shisan saw that Ruyi was the one who was most reluctant to let go, so he told her that she had met a suitable person.People are not easy, retaining the talents in front of you is what you need to do.But Ruyi had already figured it out, which was proved by her risking her life to save Ning Yuanzhou last night, and she decided to stay with Ning Yuanzhou.

In the room, Ning Yuanzhou was giving instructions to Yuan Lu and Qian Zhao. Suddenly he saw Ruyi by the window, so he moved the two of them away to let Ruyi in.If Ruo noticed that Ning Yuanzhou asked to lie next to him, he complied and took the opportunity to express his thoughts. However, Ning Yuanzhou spoke first, saying that he should not quarrel with her over trivial matters, and that he would not do so in the future., and at the same time seeing Ruyi risking his life just for him, he also vowed in his heart that he would never let go of her hand again.In addition, Ning Yuanzhou also claimed that he would accompany Ruyi to do what she wanted to do and respect her thoughts and decisions.Ruyi also said that he was at fault, and the misunderstanding between the two was solved. They discussed what they should do in the future and agreed not to separate from each other.The team next to the window was peeking, and they were happy to see that Ning Yuanzhou and Ruyi had reconciled.

Confirming that the man in black who was ambushing was Zhu Yiwei, Li Tongguang sent people to kill two nearby Zhu Yiwei branches to vent his anger.At this time, there was a voice next to someone talking. Li Tongguang asked and found out that it was someone from Liudaotang. After asking, he learned that Beipan people were found among the men in black, and he wanted to lead his troops to Tianmen Pass to find out.Ning Yuanzhou found out first, so he sent Qian Zhao to take Li Tongguang to the cave next to the Tujialing Temple in Zuojialing, He County.Ning Yuanzhou followed the man in black and found a secret passage, which was about ten miles long and led directly to the outside of Tianmen Pass.

It turns out that in recent years, there have been constant wars between Wu State and An State, and Emperor An mobilized many soldiers outside Tianmen Pass. When the Beipan people learned of this, they took this opportunity to sneak into An State through secret passages and plunder nearby villages.Coincidentally, after the Beipan people looted the village last night, they encountered Li Tongguang and others who were ambushed. Seeing their luxurious clothes, they wanted to rob them.After hearing this, Li Tongguang was very interested in the excitement. Ning Yuanzhou also said that he had already sent a secret message to Wudu and asked Li Tongguang to go back and report to Emperor An to strengthen the defense of Tianmen Pass and the secret passage.

However, Li Tongguang believed that Zhu Yiwei would intercept him, so he suggested that they and the Wu State delegation hurry up and rush to Andu. When the time comes, the two parties will meet Emperor An to explain the matter, and Ning Yuanzhou agreed on the spot.When Li Tongguang saw Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou getting closer, he couldn't help but feel jealous, so he made rude remarks to the people of Liudaotang.Qian Zhao saw Li Tongguang verbally insulting the people of Liudaotang, so Qian Zhao and Yu Shisan deliberately took him and saw Ruyi taking care of Ning Yuanzhou tenderly.As expected, Li Tongguang's face darkened several times and he ran away again.

Arriving at the next inn, Yuan Lu and Yu Shisan also obtained the antidote in advance in order to prevent Ning Yuanzhou from having another attack of poison.However, when everyone was having dinner together, Qian Zhao noticed something was wrong with the soup and told Ning Yuanzhou not to drink it, as it would make the wound heal more slowly.Yu Shisan guessed that Li Tongguang might have been stimulated by the afternoon, so he tampered with the dinner.When Ruyi heard that he wanted to teach Li Tongguang a lesson, Ning Yuanzhou stopped him and said that he could just go there and he happened to have something to discuss with him.

Li Tongguang thought that not many people knew about his affair with the first noble concubine, but Ning Yuanzhou made it clear. He also pointed out that his foundation in the court was unstable and not many forces could match those princes.Li Tongguang is still struggling, feeling that with the help of the Chu family, he will get the position he wants.Ning Yuanzhou shook his head and said that unless he cooperated with Liudaotang, this would save the people from the chaos of war.

Seeing that Li Tongguang's expression seemed to be shaken, Ning Yuanzhou gave him some ideas, claiming assassination as an excuse, and then seeking refuge with the second prince, causing a fight between the two princes, thus giving him a chance to breathe.Regarding the marriage between the Duke and the Duke of the First Kingdom, Li Tongguang also needed to put down his personal status and make friends, and he could also make friends with useful forces.When the two princes fight and lose both sides, Li Tongguang can reap the benefits, but he can only choose one among the kings and the beauties.Li Tongguang felt a little hesitant and said that he needed time to think about it.​
