excellent insights. I wondered how come he knew to look for him in the burning rubble, like why was this mysterious…
It’s like he was always one step ahead. I think Kuaiduo saw him on the roof, that’s why he looked shocked. And when he died, he was looking at Zhinu because he knew his son was damned. Zhao Bingwen is manipulative and a keen observer.
Hear me out... when Kuaiduo was looking at something in the sky as he committed suicide, Zhao Bingwen was on the roof watching the massacre. Then, when Kuaiduo’s body hit the ground, he was looking downward at something, and that’s why the masked man found Zhinu and used him to kill his allies, who also knew about the Guaxi. He wanted to have it for himself and used it to overthrow the emperor.
