I doubt that Wuyang would know where the clinic is or where to find YZ. Whereas Uncle Long would know where he was from Su and went to save him. YZ was injured to the brink of death yet seemed to have recovered speedily. Only Uncle Hong could have cured him so quickly. Also the Tiemo King seems to know YZ is still alive.

I read a c-net post that said his father Liu Ziwen deliberately did not train him in martial arts to assure the emperor he would never rebel. That's why he named him Liu Zhi/知 or know(ledge) and raised him to be a scholar.

I am not into snacks but I like to sip wine when I watch.

By their definition, so long as the ML lives, it is a HE.

So far, none of the killings made me sad. I just rolled my eyes at the crying. Yes I have a stone cold heart.

Only time will tell if this will be that memorable for me. The character back stories are too short for me to be invested in anyone enough to remember them.

That will be a train wreck bc the consensus c-netizen expectation at the moment is for a happy ending. I personally am expecting a happy ending.

Yeah but so far he has just been the damsel in distress of this drama that keeps having to be saved! To all those who complain about not having women in significant roles in this drama, let me just say if they wrote Gu Yu as a female general, I'd be pissed.

Not yet - she seems quite badly wounded.

I don't think there is a book. For some dramas a leaked script can be bought online but it costs quite a bit and I don't know how to go about it.

No of course it doesn't translate into 82 episodes but just like a book there can be long and short chapters. I just heard there was originally a lot more content than was shot. The reason of course is investment budgets are being cut so they just couldn't shoot it all and had to condense it down by quite a bit. Its quite clear from how so many characters are introduced and killed off quickly. The skimped on the back stories.

It was quite sad and he was a good guy who means well but... let's be honest here - did he accomplish anything? What were his wins? Maybe the Baiwenhu army will do better under a different commander.

Yes but I read somewhere the script had 82 chapters and but had to be condensed into 32. So content wise, a lot more than 4 episodes was never shot.

Let's see - it depends on whether Uncle Long was the one who saved him. Bc if he was, then he definitely won't be able to kill him.

Don't disagree with anything you have said and if you read carefully I specifically point out Japan didn't have the subsistence excuse. I shortcut it bc this is the VOA comment page, not the Man's Inhumanity to Man page.😅

Its quite clever it will get newbies to know the character stories very fast and draw them in.

Huai'an should re-enact Baiwan's death and just porcupine her.

Well it is indeed why the Vikings went south and sacked Europe and why the Mongols, Manchus and nomadic tribes repeatedly invaded and at times conquered China throughout its thousands year history. Although they didn't have that subsistence excuse, it is also why Japan invade China and Asia in its hunt for resources. Its always easy to invade and exterminate another race for "survival". We can see it even today.

Lol - I am too lazy I leave it to his kids to do that.

Yes SCL is only really good at hiding his evil heart behind a charming, empathetic facade. His schemes are childish and miss the big picture.
