《The Willow Boat》E19
Episode 19
Cui Xingzhou pursued Qiu Linxian's whereabouts and was convinced that he would not return to the Hong Kong Coliseum, so he stepped up surveillance of the Physiography Pavilion.He secretly ordered Zhao Quan to keep a close eye on He Zhen to ensure that He Zhen's identity would not be leaked before successfully convincing his mother.The next day, Cui Xingzhou and Liu Miantang strolled through the market. A bunch of candied haws brought back her warm memories of Zhenzhou, when Cui Xingzhou had personally fed her.The three of them were sitting around the stall, tasting butter cakes, when Qiu Linxian's figure flashed past.Cui Xingzhou followed him quietly on the pretext of buying candied haws, while Qiu Linxian cleverly led him into a deep alley.The little beggar's agility helped Qiu Linxian escape, but the stone left in his hand became the key to Cui Xingzhou's discovery of clues to the smuggling of iron ore.Based on the little beggar's hint, he speculated that there was a secret hidden in the house opposite. The sword and escort agency badge revealed through the crack in the door confirmed this conjecture.
Cui Xingzhou acted cautiously and did not immediately alert him. He returned to look for Liu Miantang. Unexpectedly, she and Li's mother had disappeared, making him extremely anxious.At this moment, Liu Miantang appeared quietly wearing a mask and startled him like a prank.Cui Xingzhou hugged her tightly, full of apologies, and regretfully told her that tonight's appointment might not be fulfilled.Liu Miantang sent away Mama Li on the grounds of a shopping list, but in fact he planned it on his own.In the middle of the night, Cui Xingzhou led the crowd to surround the escort agency, while Mr. Cao took refuge in the abandoned temple first.After a false alarm outside the door, Cui Xingzhou discovered evidence of iron ore transportation in the escort agency, and the steward revealed Mr. Cao as the mastermind behind it.Mr. Cao recognized Liu Miantang and attacked fiercely, but he did not expect her rapid recovery.Liu Miantang took the opportunity to reveal that Tzuyu was actually the scapegoat, and the real culprit might be Sun Yun.After a fierce battle, Liu Miantang outsmarted Mr. Cao and seriously injured Mr. Cao. Qiu Linxian came later to avenge his comrades, but Mr. Cao was eventually killed in the wilderness.
Liu Miantang's next step is to focus on Cui Xingzhou's true identity, intending to take advantage of his Zhenzhou power.Cui Xingzhou arrived and saw that Cao Duo was dead. Reminiscing that Liu Miantang had absconded with money in the past, which coincided with the opening of the Escort Bureau's account book, he speculated that she had secretly opened up the military transaction.He felt as if he was being controlled by an invisible hand and suspected that Lu Wen had returned.In the night market, Liu Miantang met Cui Xingzhou by chance and showed off his new bracelet. He borrowed the Flower Goddess's flower lottery game and used the blank lottery as an excuse to bite Cui Xingzhou in an intimate relationship, which meant “hate”.
Cui Xingzhou had outstanding military exploits and was allowed to return to Zhenzhou to visit relatives, but was not allowed to enter the capital. He was worried about the chaos in the mine and the mastermind behind it.The death of Aguma Fan made him even more angry, so he could only numb himself with cold water.Liu Miantang tenderly applied medicine to him. When talking about the arrow wound, Cui Xingzhou smiled and said he had no regrets. He felt that he and the shooter seemed to have known each other before, perhaps it was fate that resonated with him.But in fact, the arrow came from Liu Miantang's hand.She has found out Cui Jiu's true identity and informed Qiu Linxian with the help of the little beggar.On the way back to Zhenzhou, Liu Miantang's style remained the same and attracted everyone's attention. She was keenly aware of the surveillance and cleverly arranged it for Mother Li to deliver the news.In the small courtyard, the green grass was resting and waiting quietly, while Cui Xingzhou was observing secretly, waiting for the opportunity.The watcher was killed, and the bun was sent to Sun Yun as a warning, making her frightened.Concubine Chu was eager for her son, and finally the King of Huaiyang returned, and Bin Lan was with her to tide over the difficulties.
