Episode 9: Huo Qingyun sneaks into the Lantern Festival to save Ruo Lao
Huang Beishuang and Huo Qingyun were strolling around the Lantern Festival, when they suddenly heard General Wu calling her. When Huang Beishuang turned around, she could not see Huo Qingyun. Huang Beishuang lied that she and Ye Pei were lost.
Na Zhan invited Rong Lao to participate in the Lantern Festival, and placed the venue in the market, deliberately letting Rong Lao see Yun Pei’s wealth.
Master Zhu announced the tax exemption policy for Yunpei Oasis, and everyone applauded. When the technical staff went on stage to perform, Huang Beishuang saw that it was Huo Qingyun pretending to be him.
She was worried that Na Zhan would find out, so she took the initiative to offer Na Zhan five-flavor medicinal tea to divert Na Zhan’s attention. Ruo Wen discussed it with Man Hu and prepared to act at the venue.
Na Zhan took the medicinal tea from Huang Beishuang and asked everyone to pray for Yun Pei. Ruo Wen took the opportunity to blow the whistle, and his brothers also prepared to take their positions. Huo Qingyun felt unusual after hearing it, and blew another whistle at the same time. The people of Mangliu Gang looked at each other, not knowing the purpose of the whistle.
Huang Beishuang saw that Na Zhan had noticed something, and deliberately asked Zhen Qu Youjia about his gift. Zhen Qu Youjia presented his own good cup with a rare treasure. Na Zhan held the hands of the two ladies and praised the good tea and the good cup.
Na Zhan proposed to reward the performers. Huo Qingyun wanted Huang Beishuang’s five-flavor tea, and passed the leaves after drinking it in public. General Wu seized the new oasis and proposed that the two ladies compete to win a place for the matriarchal tribe to survive.
Ruo Wen saw that he couldn’t do it, so he asked his brothers to retreat. Huo Qingyun returned and realized that the whistle was abnormal. Sha Qu thought it was Na Zhan’s plan. Huo Qingyun said that Na Zhan just heard the whistle but couldn’t guess the instructions.
Shaqu saw Rong Lao’s face from the meeting place and guessed that Rong Lao was treated well by Na Zhan, so he should be in a room with sunlight. Huo Qingyun planned to make a comeback and rescue Rong Lao. General Wu found hidden weapons at the meeting place, but he didn’t know the meaning of the yellow cloth.
Na Zhan asked him about the whistle code, but General Wu said he didn’t know. Na Zhan asked General Wu to continue to plunder the weak tribes. He had noticed that someone came in to rescue Rong Lao, and planned to set up a chess game to lure the snake out of its hole.
Manhu found out that Mangliu gathered in the teahouse. Ruowen knew that only Mangliu could recognize Huang Tiankuang’s whistle. Luo Cheng suspected that Mangliu had colluded with Nazhan.
Ruowen went to the teahouse to make trouble and settle accounts with Huo Qingyun. Huo Qingyun provided him with information and told Qin Duo, who was in charge of the military equipment in Yunpei, secretly, in order to make a deal with him.
Ruowen left a portrait of Ge Xinwei so that Huo Qingyun could find her to cancel the matter. Shaqu was worried that raising a tiger would bring harm to him. Huo Qingyun thought that Ruowen and others were so good at martial arts that they wanted to take a gamble.
After Ge Xinwei woke up, she found that she was sold to a brothel. The madam was attracted by Ge Xinwei’s beauty and said that she would promote her to be the top prostitute. Ge Xinwei thought that Ruo Wen had sold her and tried to escape but was caught.
Huang Beishuang and Huo Qingyun used bamboo flute to express their feelings to each other and were almost discovered by Zhu Daren. Zhu Daren sent the female worker’s embroidery thread for Huang Beishuang to practice in advance.
Na Zhan said that he always suffered from insomnia. He suspected that the child was still alive and deliberately said that he wanted to find his siblings. Rong Lao ridiculed him for his excessive taxation and said that the child had already died under the iron cavalry.
Huo Qingyun often came to Yunfang Pavilion to secretly see Huang Beishuang, and Huang Beishuang could also feel his presence.
Zhenqu Youjia wanted to prepare embroidery well to win Nazhan’s heart, but she didn’t want to be snatched away by Huang Beishuang. Nazhan came to favor Zhenqu Youjia again, and the maid Lian’er walked away tactfully.
Ye Pei ran over in a panic and said that the embroidery thread was missing. Huang Beishuang asked her to calmly look for it first, and asked Lian Huan to hurry outside the palace to buy it.
