Ah!

When did Wu help Changyu? Was that a scene that got cut?

I do hope we get some scenes of XZ redeeming himself (as a general/in battle). I still think his fight against the assassins when protecting Ning while he was injured were the parts that made him look the coolest in that respect so far.

Changyu's been distracting him, I guess. 😅

Definitely. She's been honestly outshining her hubby the Marquis who's been nowhere to be found recently.

So, there were multiple battles going on? Gongsun was at one location (opposite the General Shi Yue), and XZ's 2nd in command (where Changyu joined and fought Shi Hu?) was the other location?

Once the one-on-one battle started between Changyu and Shi Hu the fight looked really cool, but the actual battle (and the way those giving orders went about things) seemed pretty haphazard and disorganized if I'm being honest.

Why does the preview show Mandi wounded? Does he faint later on from a wound?

Changyu was indeed upset at the discovery to the extent that she need to be spirited away by her husband (who is now appropriately going to be in the doghouse...). 😅

Um... was it a thing to play the guqin during a battle? 😅

It also looks like the young one in the squad whose sister is crippled gets badly wounded in the next episode (or 27?). He could be the one that dies, but it's probably Jin Yuanbao, unfortunately.

Got it.

Do you mean that POJ is second on trending rather than 1st? I did think it was odd that Jisoo's 8.1/10 drama is ranked 1st. 🤔

So they'd be cousins? Their father were brothers?

Someone pointed out it seemed some choppy editing was done on this episode which implied scenes were cut and skipped. I agree on afterthought that some scenes that would have helped pull events together seem to have been cut, leaving us to imply and infer. They might be feeling the time constraint of 40 episodes after spending 17 of them with our leads in a village slice of life story. 😅

I don't think this is the only frustrating plot point. 😅

How does she make him look weak?

Yes, it was a super ridiculous plot and execution. 😅 I barely made it through.

😅😅😅 Fair!

I agree! Maybe we can justify her doing something this stupid because of her desire for revenge. It makes people do stupid things. 😬

The falcon was this Episode, though?

Except that she kidnapped their prisoner and held him out as bait on that cliff. 😅 Still kind of implausible. 😅

Won't happen until Thursday. 😭
