Beauty of Resilience 花戎 Episode 22

Seeing that General Cao gradually lost his trust in Sima Jin, Yin Keji disguised himself as a prison guard and came to instigate rebellion. After all, murdering a coach deliberately is a serious crime, and Wei Cangjun would rather kill by mistake than let it go. At first, General Cao sternly refused, thinking that he had a clear conscience and cleared himself, but he also thought about his wife, children and family members, and finally escaped from the prison on horseback with the help of Yin Keji.

Seeing this, Chen Yan immediately pursued him, and he showed his true colors all the way to the suburbs. He wanted to borrow General Cao's head in exchange for Sima Jin's trust. General Cao suddenly fell into the trick, and he would rather die than die in Chen Yan's hands, and then he raised his sword and killed himself. Chen Yan couldn't bear to be so decisive and heroic.

Afterwards, Chen Yan lied that he found the antidote from General Cao, and successfully expelled the poison of Jinghe for Mu Nan, making him turn from danger to safety, and everyone looked at him with admiration. Sima Jin believed that Chen Yan was a talented person who would be able to accomplish great things in the future, so he decided to ask the court to let Chen Yan take over the post of General Cao, and reminded him to remember that the enemy will always be the enemy, and never show mercy to the enemy.

These words did not motivate or even awaken Chen Yan, but instead reminded him that he often heard Yin Keji mention it during training, and now it seems that the enemies are not all heinous, they are also ordinary people who protect their families. However, Chen Yan was originally a secret agent of the enemy country, and he couldn't imagine how he would face the Sima family if his identity was exposed.

After Mu Nan recovered from his injury, Sima Wangyue personally cooked mixed vegetables for him. Hearing him repeat the previous confession, although he was moved, he had no love for men and women. So Sima Wangyue pretended to be confused, pretending to understand, and said that he would change Mu Nan's surname to Sima in the future, and he would always be his good brother. Mu Nan understood Wangyue's true meaning after hearing this.

Sima Wangyue came to ask Chen Yan to go out with her, but he actually went to the suburbs to bury General Cao. No matter whether he defected to the enemy or treason, at least he made great contributions to Wei Cangguo before. On the other hand, Wang Wu and others speculated that Chen Yan's good news was about to come, and encouraged Chen Yan to pursue love bravely. They went out with him the next day to choose some tokens of love, and finally locked in a jade pendant with a price of thirty taels.

Because Chen Yan didn't have enough money, all the soldiers took out their own savings to help him buy the pendant. Chen Yan was deeply moved and promised to return it double in the future. At the same time, Mu Nan cooks noodles in person, preparing to commit suicide for Sima Wangyue, but unexpectedly, Chen Yan has already arrived at the door of Wangyue's room to confess.

Sima Wangyue changed into women's clothing, amazed everyone present, when she saw the jade pendant Chen Yan handed over, she accepted it without any hesitation, and held hands in full view of the crowd to confirm her love. On the other hand, Mu Nan came to Sima Wangyue with noodles, and found that Sima Wangyue and Chen Yan had a deep affection, and he froze on the spot in disbelief, and then left sadly alone.

The two rode horses to the depths of the desert to watch the sunset. Sima Wangyue lamented that time could not be stopped, but he could still cherish the present, and kissed Chen Yan after speaking. Sima Jin didn't see Sima Wangyue in the barracks, so he asked Mu Nan about the situation. Mu Nan hesitated for a long time to tell the truth, which made Sima Jin very angry.

On the way back to the barracks, Sima Wangyue and Chen Yan unfortunately encountered quicksand, and the situation suddenly became critical. In order to save Sima Wangyue, Chen Yan fell into the quicksand and completely submerged his head. Sima Wangyue was helpless, and was devastated by this. He triggered the Phoenix blood for the first time, and immediately passed out on the ground.

Not long after, Sima Jin and Mu Nan led the soldiers to search and found Sima Wangyue who was already unconscious. When Sima Wangyue woke up, he begged them to find Chen Yan. Sima Jin ordered to rescue Chen Yan even if they dug three feet into the ground. Wang Wu and others even cried while digging the sand, knowing that the hope was slim and unwilling to give up.
