Pledge of Allegiance 山河之影 Episode 16

Shu Tang helped Li Wu back to the mansion room, and couldn't help recalling what Li Wu had said to him before he fainted, and turned around to see the teacup he had drunk on the table, feeling thoughtful. Shu Tang came to Li Dongfang and said that he had already greeted Zhao Gou, the supervisor of ceremonies, and he would report back any news from the palace as soon as possible. Shu Tang couldn't help asking Li Dongfang if he knew that Zhang Junqing had joined the Jiaofang Division, and said that she had promised to help her find her sister.

Li Dongfang thinks that she is lying to Shu Tang, and he sees that she has defected to Nanjing, and the two will meet each other in battle in the future. Seeing this, Shu Tang wanted to leave, Li Dongfang said that Li Wu was not worthy of Shu Tang's liking. Shu Tang has followed Li Dongfang since she was seventeen, but she doesn't know what she is in Li Dongfang's heart. Li Dongfang said that Shu Tang is the person closest to his relatives, if she walks out of this door, she will be his enemy, Shu Tang turned and left without answering.

On Shen's boat, Wang Chongxi was brought to see Li Dongfang. Li Dongfang told Wang Chongxi that Li Wu was under King Yan's command, and that he single-handedly caused Wang Kegong's murder. Seeing that Wang Chongxi still had doubts, Li Dongfang tried to get him into imperial prison.

The Song family's old house, Li Wu followed Lu Zheng to come here. Lu Zheng pushed the door open and entered, only to find that Ye Bushou, wearing a ghost mask, had escaped with a bloody package. Lu Zheng was very sad looking at the corpse in front of him. Li Wu asked Lu Zheng why he wanted to kill Zhang Junqing if he didn't accept it at night. Lu Zheng told him that Zhang Junqing was the daughter of the Mu family. Lu Zheng came to the teahouse, handed the silver to the shopkeeper and asked him to cook a hundred eggs for him. After the eggs were cooked, Lu Zheng waited in the courtyard outside for the little girls to come and get the eggs. I learned from a little girl that every time Zhang Junqing came to distribute eggs, he would leave a mark. At night, Lu Zheng told Li Wu that he had found the symbol for not accepting contact at night, and wanted to visit in plain clothes in the city tomorrow.

The next day, Lu Zheng and Li Wu appeared at the market, and Li Wu, disguised as a servant, asked the courtyard for water. While the two were drinking water, a little girl walked out of the mansion, bought a sugar figurine, drew a mark on a pillar beside her, and ran back to the mansion. The two followed the sugar seller's porter secretly, and found that he had marked in front of a door, and a woman followed behind and quietly erased the mark. Li Wu suggested that the two pursue them separately, Shu Tang knocked the porter unconscious, and Li Wu quickly helped her hide the porter. Lu Zheng chased the porter but only found the sugar figure left on the ground. Lu Zheng asked him if Li Wu had caught someone, but Li Wu denied it. Lu Zheng looked down and saw the sugar prints on Li Wu's shoes, thinking.

At this moment, Shu Tang pushed open the gate of the mansion, expressing that he would go back to his hometown with Li Wu to handle errands. Lu Zheng proposed to be the host to see the two off at Zuixian Tower tonight, and then Lu Zheng took Li Wu away. The two walked into the cabin, and Lu Zheng asked Li Wu why he didn't escape with Shu Tang, and Li Wu made Lu Zheng believe in him. Lu Zheng said that he pretended not to see Li Wu pocketing his own money after raiding his home, and pretended not to find out that he was colluding with Boss Shen's government and businessmen. But this time Shu Tang returned, Ye Bushou was plotting a major event, but Li Wu knew about it but kept it from himself. Lu Zheng asked Li Wu to help catch Shu Tang, and the two of them wiped out Yebushuo together. Li Wu agreed to Lu Zheng, saying that we will see the outcome tonight.

In Zuixianlou, Li Wu watched Lu Zheng and Shu Tang drinking together, and kept silent. On the other side, Sister Meng and Mei Dou arrived on the Shen family boat. They wondered why Li Wu was so anxious to send the two of them out of Yingtian Mansion, but Boss Shen couldn't answer.

In the middle of the night, Lu Zheng pretended to be delirious from drinking and was helped away by Jin Yiwei. Li Wu told Shu Tang that in Hongwu's 25th year, he was arrested by Song Heming and put into prison, and he killed Song Heming with a dagger, and Song Heming's son Lu Zheng was the one who let them go. At this time, Li Dongfang looked at the severed finger on his hand, secretly thinking that Li Wu was his nemesis. The subordinates asked Li Dongfang how to treat Shu Tang, and Li Dongfang said he would not stay.

In Zuixianlou, Li Wu said that he would not let Shu Tang kill Lu Zheng, nor would he let Lu Zheng kill Shu Tang. Shu Tang said that he wanted to escape with Li Wu. Lu Zheng led the brocade guards into the room, and the two had already left one step ahead. Li Wushutang left the restaurant and was surrounded by Yebushou. Ye Bushou said that he was ordered to kill the traitor, Shu Tang attacked and resisted, and Li Wu counterattacked with firecrackers. After midnight, Lu Zheng asked the Jinyi Guards to set out to arrest people.

The two fled to Zhang Ji's silk and satin shop. Li Wu wanted to open the secret room, but when he turned around, he saw Zhang Junqing. Li Wu knelt down and begged Zhang Junqing to take Shu Tang in, and suggested that she could not stab herself to death within three moves, so she agreed to her request. Zhang Junqing really stabbed Li Wu, Shu Tang rushed to think that Li Wu was very worried about being stabbed, it turned out that the jade ring in Li Wu's arms blocked the dagger.

In the room, Li Wu saw the picture of miscellaneous characters cut by Shu Tang, and asked her if she was angry with him for putting her in a box and transporting her to Peiping. Unexpectedly, Shu Tang said that he decided to be with Li Wu at that time. At this moment, fireworks started to be set off outside, and the two ran out to watch the fireworks. Under the brilliant fireworks, Li Wu slowly held Shu Tang's hands and kissed her.
