Legend of the Female General Episode 4

Wolves vs patrol

Xiao Jue lines up the recruits and divides them into squads to do a land nav exercise. He makes He Yan captain to test her further. The flatbread is already getting old and two of the bandits decide they are going to go off grid and forage for better food options. One returns saying bandit is being bitten by wolves. He Yan sends him to find help. She takes her horse and rescues the big guy. Unfortunately this ends her up in an animal pit trap and she can’t get out. Meanwhile the one that left with bandit has returned to camp and is telling lavish lies about how they ran off. His story came to a screeching halt when the rest of the squad make it back to camp and accuse the messenger of running off their horses and leaving them to die. As their punishment is being debated, Xiao Jue goes to find her. She is reminiscing about a festival hugging a dead wolf to keep warm. She is rescued and tries to get wolf taken along. Xiao Jue agrees if she wants to give up her place in the horse for the wolf.😂Here she deserves a taste of her own medicine because she is getting rather cocky considering her circumstances. She returns back and he asks Dr Cheng to check her wounds. Now ironically he is an ob/gyn so this is really funny. There were a couple interesting things. He knows she is female and she slipped up with a quip about how he hadn’t changed much. Now she will have to come up with a fiancée.😂 The liar is executed. I don’t find this too harsh since he tried to kill a squad of his own men. This is unacceptable in military service. The others are pretty harsh. The bandit got beaten after a serious encounter with wolves. I feel he was punished just getting back on foot from that. The others were ordered to return yet were beaten for following her orders and leaving her behind. He is listening to Cheng comment on how harsh and asking He Yan if she agreed. He was surprised that she acknowledged they were harsh but necessary for military discipline. I don’t think he expected such a commander point of view. She said she wanted to be general and Xiao Jue notes this. He still has not put it together but wants to find out more about here. He knows she isn’t a boy, but that there is significantly more to her story than they know. The end scene has the disciple chatting with father about his day with chancellor. His father recommends he sticks like glue to him. He leaves disciple to deal with fake general. This one actually wanted a candle in temple to suppress his sister’s spirit. Like he has the power to do such a thing.😝 He is a miserable excuse for a human being. Can’t wait til his military prowess is put to test and he has none to speak of. Shortsighted father didn’t think about that. Hopefully he has some weapons training to cover the lie, but even if skilled it won’t cover what years of actual command in the field teaches you. He leaves a gift for the father and leaves after snubbing disciple. It is revealed that he was adopted and considered illegitimate which explains his attitude and the fire scene. A group was trying to deliberately burn him. He should stick with the chancellor. It’s got to be better than staying at home with these snobby people. The deal with the wolves is so fake, but her dreaming of the festival while holding a dead wolf as partner is rather funny. I find myself well entertained in spite of the obvious flaws of the circumstances. When she finds out he is the anonymous one that voted for her 😂🤣 and when she receives the ointment from him she remembers from her youth in school. He is making the connections, but what will he do when he figures it out? And they are plotting to have fake general show up to challenge him. Wonder how that is going to go? He would not even recognize the twin sword and reveal himself as imposter. Her family has put her in a no win scenario. She was first imposter at her family’s demand. How does her mother fit into this? Why did she desert her daughter?

Killing the wolf with Bare Hands

Finally the Banner Competition!! Nice! The Recruits have completed their 1st month of training so it's time. He Yan found the anonymous person who bet on her. It was hilarious when XiaoJue was looking at He Yan from side like no those flatbreads are not mine. He Yan was teasing him when she found out that her Commander was the anonymous person. I've been waiting for this Flag Competition for so long! First they'll patrol the mountains after that the competition will be held. Nope He Yan's team had gone up the mountain for patrolling, but the WB and ZX are clearly not thinking of her as their leader, and will disobey her. The Wolf fight scene is here! They made trouble, now He Yan's gotta act fast. She helped him up the horse now left alone to deal with the wolves, bitten by a wolf, two nasty wounds, falling into the deep pit. Xiao Jue himself came to find her, and she was caught dreaming a vacation with her sweetheart lol. She's too funny, taunting him like this, will you make me walk back to the camp? I'm injured lol. And he's just rolling his eyes. When she leaned on him while on horse back He found out she's a woman, and he was shocked as to why a woman came all the way to Yezhou to join the army. Returned to the base, XJ's eavesdroping on He Yan's and Cheng Lisu's conversation how she said he took the right decision he has to maintain discipline this is an army, if they didn't execute Zhang Xuan and tomorrow if they had gone to war, who'd trust him to guard their back? She's lying about having a fiancee lol, to escape CL's examination. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Running into the arms of Xiaojue!! Can't wait for tomorrow.
