Legend of the Female General Episode 27

I have my Principles.

It was so short, just 34 minutes😭. Chu Zhao's speculation is that He Yan was the Masked General Feihong. Because he connected all the dots of her behaviour and reactions when she heard about He Rufei, her seven deputy generals and Rundu. He's heading back to the Capital, his moral compass is pointing to the right direction. I'm so tired of He Rufei's tantrums, Mannnn!! He just schemes an evil plan and when it fails he's throwing tantrums and running off to Xu Jingfu to complain. While at this point CZ has already defied hua Master's order twice and since he's aware that his master committed treason he doesn't want to support him even though a master is like a father. He has his principles, and can't go against them. I don't remember if He Rufei was this petulant and whiny in the novel. HRF fucked up big this time, from outsider's pov a fake General Feihong came to Rundu and intimidated the Wutuo Army while the real HRF didn't even send reinforcements to Rundu and the Emperor has heard all about it. CZ did a good job by being upfront and the Emperor seems pleased and even promoted him to a Fourth Rank Vice Minister of War. Really CZ's family is shameless.

Rewards and recognition

Most in comments hate Chu’s character. I agree he is completely delusional where He Yan is concerned, but as a politician for the people, he is better than most of them. He had planned on giving He Yan medicine for her wounds to find her and Ciao Jue together under prayer tree. So he rethinks this and doesn’t. He wisely goes to emperor first. He gets recognition for assisting with supplies to Rundu. He knows there was collusion with Wutuo, but also knows evidence is required, so he pleads that He RuFei ‘may’ have done the best he could with the number against him. As a result of his actions and intel, the emperor promotes him to a level 4 magistrate. Prior to leaving Rundu, he meets with He Yan and Xiao Jue. She even invites him to accompany them to capital and he politely, and wisely, declines. Xiao Jue pointed out where he or his guard specifically hindered their mission with Chai Anxi. He also points out where Chu was helpful and eased the way. Chu continues to be one whose help cost equals hurt cost. He is truly a mixed bag and there will never be love lost between them where He Yan is concerned. Chu will always know that Xiao Jue is always first in her heart. When Chu has such a capable warrior woman that loves him by his side. It is sad she does not inspire him or get his affection. He is truly blind to the treasure he already has. He RuFei is pretty much foaming at the mouth declaring how capable he is, The entire world knows who the fake General is and he cannot grasp his own inadequacies and failures as being his fault. He curses the air she breathes and cannot wait for an opportunity to settle the score. Which is why the irony is not lost when he begs at Xu’s feet like a recalcitrant schoolboy to be helped and forgiven. Here he receives the same shoulder pat he gives to his spoiled, petty daughter. These two children of his deserve each other.😝 Chu wisely did not pay respects to his mentor until after he had received promotion and notice from emperor. Xu didn’t have bracelet in hand today because he knows too many watching. Chu tells him what he told the emperor and when prodded, did not refer to Wutuo collusion, but He RuFei’s miscalculation to try to kill Xiao Jue. This is also true, but not the root of the treason. Xu is pacified and refers him to daughter. This time, Chu is more truthful with her and refuses any outings. He has found his light and she isn’t a glimmer. I like that he makes his atrocious family put his mother’s memorial in ancestral hall and they are highly encouraged to pay her homage regularly.😂😝 He wants to introduce He Yan to her, which I would find honorable if kept in friend or sister zone category. I think even she would agree with these conditions. I like the women of Rundu forming a textile shop to make a living and bring honor to the city. This is a good future for them. I am curious what was in the letter He Yan left to be read after they left? Did she tell Li he had met his real general? Yan He says goodbye to his friends and heads for home to greet his wife and family. I don’t think he knows the emperor is aware of his actions yet, but unlike many, he does what needs done because it’s his job. He didn’t go to gain the emperor’s ear. Everything is set up for visit to capital. He RuFei is plotting for them to never arrive.
