Legend of the Female General Episode 24

Punishments and rewards

Xiao Jue’s old schoolmate Yan He shows up to administer punishment. I am very unhappy with how the punishment was made so public, but the powers that be demanded their pound of flesh and unfortunately received it. Chu still thinks he can bribe He Yan into a life of ambition with him. He really doesn’t understand her at all. I do wish Xiao Jue would have stuck around to hear the end of the conversation. He Yan has been rewarded general status. It is a mixed blessing. Chu is devising means to get too much interest in her..and that he could smile at her after watching and causing the commander’s punishment shows how far off the mark he is. He does not deserve to be Xu’s puppet with Wutuo matters but he is not even in the same book much less the same page of deserving life with He Yan.😝 He should have gone for being her friend where a true alliance might have been made. After her brother’s betrayal, she is not going to let any man decide her course for her. It is nauseating that her ‘brother’ got away with murdering those valiant men. She knows what he is doing and so does Xiao Jue. I would like to know what boon he requested from the emperor as he seemed rather pleased with himself over it. The emperor is technically right in that Xiao Jue needed punished, but I still find it two faced to keep punishment more available for the loyal men and reward for the traitorous power seekers.😝 I like that Xiao Jue gets confirmation over which He general he is at odds with and how the emperor’s praise includes a slap sending him back to post. That was minor satisfaction after commander’s punishment. He Yan knows she is set up for her friend but doesn’t care. She is determined to get the job done in spite of the odds. I love that she ‘borrowed’ Qinglang sword for the battle and swapped it with pouch. These two should be united. The general and mentor sword to face her worst enemy. I am glad another episode today to see Xiao Jue’s response.

Vengeance

He Yan heard from other recruits that Wutuos attacked Huayuan and General Feihong is leading the army, they say that He'll surely crush the Wutuos (but they don't know that the one who crushed then was He Yan, in novel they were afraid of the name General Feihong). [In the Novel: Yan He'a character was important in the later half as he contributed a lot for the nation, and he was such a funny guy, always competing with Xiaojue over everything and comparing every little thing, the funniest thing , LOOK Huaijin I'm married! Are you married? Hah! I'm going to be a father!! He was like this🤣, I loved his character]. And here in this flashback is Xianchang Academy he was still second and first was Xiaojue and see! He's still competing with Xiaojue🤣. Oh, The Emperor's edict, CZ read it and announced that He Yan did a great job bland contributed to the nation, and will be promoted to General Wu'an, While Xiaojue will be caned by 20 strikes (just as they planned, reward the brave young soldier while punishing the Commander, sowing discord). Xiaojue protected Jiyang and this is what he got, he immediately knelt down to take the strikes, 20 strikes are heavy enough to kill a person. Can't see him like this😭, all he did was protect a city even though he violated a law. Yan He was sent here to deliver this military punishment. He Yan knew the moment she saw CZ that he petitioned for her promotion, and he revealed it himself that Xu Jingfu was behind this all commotion. The wounds on XJ's back😭. XJ saw Her shadow near the gate and made sure he wouldn't make a single sound while his wound is being treated by CL, so she wouldn't be able to hear him in pain🫠. I said before he's a good character, Yan He came to see XJ if he was fine after he was caned by him, Yan He couldn't say no as it was an imperial edict. He was talking about He Rufei going to Huayuan and XJ's eyes widened. Shen Han reported to XJ that CZ wasn't connected to Mjngshui Battle, as he had no connections with Chai Anxi before the battle, and told him about XJF's meeting He Yan(HRF) in Yuhua Temple. He Yan is sitting alone by the lake, while CZ approached her, She quickly distanced herself from him by taking a step back (that's my girl👍), ahhhhhhhhhhh! XJ is behind the tree eavesdroping on their conversation 🤭. CZ told her that right now XJ's position is complicated, some fear him but some resent him, and his future is unclear, [Novel: Do you know that she was promoted to Marquis Wu'an]. Cause does it make sense to you if a mere soldier after a battle or two, would be directly promoted to a General? Basically Chu Zhao wants to say that XJ's position is complicated and you'll be implicated if you stay with him here so he petitioned for her promotion to the Emperor so she'll be happy(bruh what do you think), trying to impress her while completing his Master's task, nice one Zilan. He was obviously telling her that now you got promotion and you have many opportunities, so don't limit yourself to Yezhou, He straightforwardly asked her to go and travel (see) the world with him (basically confessing his feelings towards her). Ahhhhhhhhh! Her hubby heard CZ's good offer and confession and left them and went back to his tent🫠. She refused his offer. XJ and Yan He heard about He Rufei's victory in Huayuan, but seven deputy generals died (all of He Yan's comrades), and literally HRF made such a show, making it look like it was a tough battle (He Yan already had a large Fuyue Army), cleanly eliminated her Comrades. XJ told YH that what happened in Huayuan Battle is similar to what happened in Mingshui Battle, it's not a coincidence, Even Yan He was praising the Seven Deputy Generals (trained under He Yan) that they were Legendary, how could they die like that, CL even suspected that He Rufei killed them himself. He Rufei met Maningbu, Wutuo Chancellor, and gave him the Defence Map of Rundu, Li Kuang is the General who commands the forces of Rundu. I really wished that He Yan wouldn't find out about her comrades (I know impossible since the story was already written, even in the novel this was a difficult part to read) 😭, Her Comrades, the Seven Warriors died on the battlefield, ofcourse she knows that He Rufei had a hand in it😭, She took out her whip and literally destroyed all the wooden poles on the training field. XJ couldn't see her like that and approached her, She pledged that she will take revenge for her comrades. Even when XJ is applying medicine on her hand she can't feel any pain, said that if it wasn't for her they wouldn't die, she can't kill their murderer, she can't even shed tears or pay tribute to them (I'm crying😭). Ahhhhhh comforting her 😭. This is when it all happens. The Emperor's order has arrived for Xiao Jue to be summoned, while He Yan won't go with him and stay here in Yezhou Garrison [Novel: She left the Garrison when she heard the news about Rundu and Li Kuang being in Danger, all her friends Xiao Mai, Wang Ba, Jiang Jiao, etc all left with her, they left the Camp secretly at night]. Ahhhhhhh! He told her to stay in Yezhou until he returns, cause he has many things to tell her (hubby confession). Ship will sail soon, (TaoTao x Cheng Lisu). XJ came to the palace and since the Emperor wanted to compensate the 20 strikes, XJ asked something in return, and met HRF. Hah! He Rufei stood outside in the chill all night to meet the Emperor to claim merit for Huayuan (yeah yeah, his hard earned victory, such an act), and got 0 rewards from Emperor, The Emperor just told him to return to Camp and train the Troops🤣. He Yan knows that Li Kuang is her remaining Subordinate and HRF will certainly eliminate him, and if Rundu faces any danger he won't send reinforcements, He Yan has decided that she'll leave for Rundu, because she knows HRF is planning something big, she has to go there. She went to XJ's room and took back Qinglang, She won't let Li Kuang die or let Rundu fall. Before leaving she left a note for Xiaojue "LEND ME A SWORD TO AID THE RUNDU CRISIS" and the pouch embroidered by her.
