The four elders all suspected that Wei Zhao was Xiao Wuxia, the son of Xiao Haitian. In order to help him out, Jiang Ci lied that she was Xiao Wuxia's wife and took out a white jade hairpin as evidence to clear Xiao Haitian's innocence. Elder Li didn't believe it at all. Jiang Ci exposed him in public as a spy sent by Lu Yu. Zhang Zhicheng and Pei Yan were both stunned by the scene before them.
Wei Zhao drew his sword and stabbed Elder Li. Elder Li shouted to Zhang Zhicheng for help. Elder Ping slapped Elder Li on the head, and he fell to the ground and died on the spot. Zhang Zhicheng gave an order, and the Zhenyuan Army soldiers lurking in the crowd rushed forward. Elder Hong summoned the soldiers of Yueluo City to resist desperately, and the two sides started a fierce battle.
Wei Zhao and Jiang Ci fought side by side, and Pei Yan fought with them. Pei Yan rushed forward to hit Wei Zhao, but Jiang Ci rushed forward to stop him, but was hit in the back by Pei Yan. Elders Hong and Heping joined forces to fight against the enemy, and Hong Jie also participated. They and the Yueluo soldiers became more and more courageous as they fought, but Zhang Zhicheng gradually lost ground and was killed on the spot.
Pei Yan took the remaining Zhenyuan Army soldiers back to the military camp and reported to Lu Yu about Zhang Zhicheng's murder. Lu Yu sent people to appease Zhang Zhicheng's family members to avoid being held accountable by the court. Hong Jie saw that his father, Elder Hong, and Wei Zhao were in the same group. He was very angry and wanted to run away from home. Elder Hong persuaded him kindly and took him to see Wei Zhao.
After Xiao Haitian died, Xiao Wuxia and his sister were hunted by the Yueluo people. Elder Hong found the two siblings hiding in the grass and deliberately let them go. Elder Hong never saw Elder Hong again for so many years. They only exchanged letters. . Wei Zhao took out the white jade hairpin and gave it to Elder Hong, asking him to be the Lord of Yueluo City. Elder Hong was so kind but had to agree. He advised Wei Zhao to celebrate the festival before leaving at Yueluo. Jiang Ci also helped, and Wei Zhaocai readily agreed.
Yulian's arm was dislocated, and Jiang Ci helped her set the bone. Wei Zhao was worried that Pei Yan would complain to Emperor Xie Che, so he sent Yi Fei to deliver a letter to Xie Che, exposing Lu Yu's placement of hidden stakes in Yueluo. Wei Zhao knew that Lu Yu would not let it go, so he decided to stay and protect the people of Yueluo. . Pei Yan wanted to use Lu Yu to get the account books back from Wei Zhao, but in vain. He wanted to wait and see what happened and wait until both Lu Yu and Wei Zhao were hurt.
Xie Che received secret edicts from Lu Yu and Wei Zhao successively. He was very angry at what Lu Yu did. Pei Yan never reported the memorial. Xie Che knew that he was in trouble and stopped pursuing it. Today is the Winter Clothes Festival, and Yueluo City is as lively as the Chinese New Year. Every family celebrates reunions. Elder Hong hosted a banquet for Wei Zhao and Jiang Ci. He also invited A Le and Grandma together. Elder Hong dug out the plum wine from Hong Jie’s wife to entertain them. , Wei Zhao and Jiang Ci dressed up to attend. Hong Jie was very angry, so he bought laxatives from a beggar on the street and wanted to put them in the food. However, Yu Lian caught him and Li gave him a severe lesson. Elder Hong asked Hong Jie to celebrate the festival with everyone.
Jiang Ci discovered that the laxatives bought by Hong Jie were fake and promised to find time to make laxatives for Hong Jie. Hong Jie felt sorry for Jiang Ci and married the cold Wei Zhao. Yu Lian warned Hong Jie not to talk nonsense. Elder Hong exchanged cups with everyone, and laughter resounded throughout the courtyard. Jiang Ci was moved by the scene, and couldn't help but think of her parents and master. Wei Zhao saw that she was worried, so he took her to the gathering to relax, and also followed the instructions of Yue Luo. Custom painted her face.
Wei Zhao drew a flower on Jiang Ci's face. Jiang Ci couldn't bear to draw it on his face, so he drew a phoenix on his mask. Jiang Ci didn't know how to draw, so he drew something like a duck. Wei Zhao I was so amused that I couldn't help but laugh. That night, Wei Zhao, Jiang Ci, A Le, Yu Lian and Hong Jie came to the gathering to play. They sang and danced around the bonfire with the people.
After the dance, the young man gave a flower to the girl he liked to express his love. Hong Jie gave Yu Lian a flower, and Yu Lian ran away in fright. Jiang Ci didn't understand the meaning of sending flowers, so she gave Wei Zhao a flower. Before Wei Zhao could explain, the people questioned Jiang Ci one after another. She claimed to be Xiao Wuxia's wife, and now she showed her love to Wei Zhao. Wei Zhao took it off Mask, he announced in public that he was Xiao Wuxia, Xiao Haitian's son. The people hated the Xiao family and verbally criticized him. Wei Zhao picked up Jiang Ci and left.
Wei Zhao was in a heavy heart. Jiang Ci took out the Tao Xun and played the song "The Ballad of the Falling Moon" to comfort his lost heart. He advised Wei Zhao not to be sad and do things according to his own wishes. Wei Zhao hummed the song along with the music. A ditty.
