Legend of the Female General Episode 23

Huayuan and Rundu conspiracy

XJ saw HY (he knows she can't be the person who would take so many lives) and ordered Feinu to go to the Capital to look into He Rufei and what he did before Mingshui Battle, and keep an eye on his every move. He Yan is asking Jiang (spear), since he was from escorting agency, he could ask around about who went in and out of Yuhua Temple where He Yan from He family was resting. A subordinate informed He Rufei that a Formidable Female General fought alongside General Fengyun, and HRF is suspicious if it's her. Mf I really dont know what else to say he just said "Whether she's HY or not doesn't matter, she has to die", like who the hell you to decide who lives or dies. HY has been running for hours in training field, and didn't want to stop even if her group of recruits asked her to, I remember she said while the investigation thing is going on, she'll need to hone her skills till then. And she's practicing Archery (basically tormenting herself to the point that she wouldn't be able to think about unnecessary things). I know that Zilan (CZ) doesn't like Xu Pingting but he have to maintain the facade in her presence, that they have a good relationship, his master Xu Jingfu already suspects him about the matter of Chai Anxi, but CZ managed the situation, while pointing out that XJ left Yezhou without permission, a punishable offence. Oh my CZ's life is in Xu Jingfu's hands, he has ordered his men to hide near, and when he drops the bracelet in his hand they're supposed to kill CZ. CZ decided to tell him that Anxi told them that XJF is the mastermind behind the Mingshui Battle, if CZ didn't tell him the truth he would've killed CZ to silence him. He told XJF that a young officer performed really well in this battle, and they'll make sure that the young officer is rewarded while XJ will face punished, then Veteran troops will definitely grow discontent, then conflicts arise, making XJ look incompetent in leading the troops. The moment was intense, Xu Jingfu was deciding whether to let CZ live or kill him, but his daughter entered the room at the right time, he didn't want to show his true colours in front of her. And let his spoiled daughter take Zilan away. He Rufei barged in the room, and was asking XJF that XJ has gained military merits again, and he's worried if XJ will regain influence, then Chancellor told him about Chai Anxi, and told him to be careful. HRF is suggesting eliminating XJ using the same method they used on XJ's father, colluding with Wutuos. He has devised a plan, Making the Wutuos attack Huayuan, he'll volunteer to fight and stage a show with the Wutuo Army while secretly give them Rundu's Military Defense Map in Secret so they'll launch a surprise attack on Rundu and when Rundu pleads for help he'll delay reinforcements. XJ definitely won't sit back and do nothing, and when XJ goes to Rundu they'll set a trap and kill him there. [IN THE NOVEL: He Rufei killed all her trusted subordinates who were close to her, and could spot differences that the masked person was different than before, and when she heard about it, she was devastated]. He Rufei plans to kill all her trusted 7 Warriors in Huayuan Battle, while the 8th one is the Governs the Rundu Garrison. He's suspecting that He Yan is alive and he will kill her Seven Warriors in Huayuan while using the one in Rundu as bait to lure her in Rundu to save him and plans to kill her there but if she is truly dead then it'll still be beneficial to him. He Yan is furious, she found out that that He Rufei was in cahoots with Xu Jingfu, they planned it all long ago, she's practicing her sword skills (literally venting out her anger) on the training logs, splitting them in half⚔️, while XJ was quietly watching her from far🫠. He really cares about her😭, he remembers everything He Yan did for the camp and him till now, he even left medicine for her in her room. The Emperor has sent Yan He and Chu Zhao to Yezhou Garrison. CZ told the emperor about Jiyang Battle (literally filtered it all), and told him about He Yan(a brave soldier), who fought alongside General Fengyun, and asked for a higher position, Minister of War. CZ, he asked for a reward for He Yan from the Emperor, the plan has to be executed, tbh hitting two birds with one stone, he does harbour personal motives (so asking reward for HY is obvious) but the main purpose is to sow discord. The Attack (a show) has begun in Huayuan and General Feihong is leading the army to Huayuan.

The liars alliance

Chu is walking a razor thin line with his mentor and is well aware. He brought a small gift to the daughter to keep his place with her. That old man rules with his bracelet. If it drops, you die. Chu was a breath away from that when spoiled daughter intervenes. He doesn’t want to lose face with her so lets them leave with Chu knowing there is a target on his back. Chu deftly told those lies about Chai Anxi exposing him as mastermind. He knew that candor was necessary to earn trust from the old snake. What is interesting is he counters it nicely with the emperor himself. Subtly bringing He Yan to his attention and getting a higher position. It is a valid argument that loyalty must have a strong position to get things done. He is walking the tightrope between both of them. He wants the Wei back to better governing. I think this is the one bit of true honor in him. He resents the collaborating with the Wutuo people and is doing his best to counter from the top down. So, it seems that He Ru Fei’s illness might have been purposely caused and used to manipulate his actions in future. Seems Xu was behind that too. So from the beginning they poisoned the son, camouflaged with daughter, and then when the son old enough to pledge loyalty, he was conveniently healed with plans in place to kill off the loose ends that could reveal their treachery. The son knows he is the one that delayed as he panicked over Chai Anxi being alive. He is consoled that he is dead and for the moment does not reveal He Yan’s existence. He has plans to redo Mingshui in Rundu. He will fake an attack with the Wutuo while giving them intel to sabotage their defenses. He also has plans to kill off the eight elite troops. Kill seven to get He Yan and even if not his most dreade sister, it will eliminate a threat to his position. He is definitely not a good leader as he thinks an enemy will fall for the exact same subterfuge twice.😝 I cannot wait to see him taken down by the true general in the family. He Yan is training with minimal rest. She is pushing herself so that muscle memory alone will get her through any future conflicts. She is perfecting her skills on every level and Xiao Jue is watching her. He recognizes the same anguished drive to prove oneself when betrayed. He sees a kindred spirit readying for battle and facing those that betrayed and undermined.He knows things are not lining up and that the woman training before him is the one that took the blindness powder in his stead and led troops personally to take out the Wutuo general. She has personally killed three of them now on her own. He sees the young comrade from school, tenderly covers her up and leaves ointment for her wounds. She smiles when she sees it, knowing who it’s from. She knows he is trying to trust while still not understanding what happened. She has put it together via ledgers that her brother and magistrate met at the temple. This while plotting her death. I want them to fall like dominoes in rapid succession. I want the two swords of General Xiao wiping them off the face of the planet. Rundu is going to be a start. The storm is gathering and there will be no holds barred in settling this dispute. It will be winner take all. I want to see the bracelet drop for the conniving betrayer magistrate and wretch of a He brother. 🤬 The temple of suppressed spirits is saving space for you. After all those years of candles, the right He will be represented with honor there.😝 Chu is a schemer, but even he has more honor than these two.
