A Journey to Love Episode 39 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
Xiao Yan specifically expressed gratitude to Ruyi, inquiring how Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou had discerned Lord Ying's plot. Ruyi explained that one came from Zhuyi Guard, and the other from Liu Dao Tang, concluding that whoever benefited the most in the end was likely the mastermind. Xiao Yan admired Ruyi's decisive actions and acknowledged that Ruyi's brilliance didn't need anyone else's presence. Ruyi declined the new Emperor's rewards, and Xiao Yan presented Ruyi with a hairpin symbolizing the Queen of Dawu, hoping it would ease Ruyi's movements in the military. In gratitude, Ruyi also gifted flowers, wishing Xiao Yan a safe and smooth delivery.
Ning Yuanzhou intended to lead Liu Dao Tang's subordinates to the battlefield immediately. He regretted not having time to take Ruyi to visit his old house, although Ruyi mentioned that they had initially met at Ning's old residence. Still, Ning Yuanzhou promised that they would return safely together.
At the end of the twelfth month of the sixth year of Wuyong, Duke of Da'an, Li Tongguang, was besieged in Hexian. Ren Ruyi, with Ning Yuanzhou, led two thousand Wudou soldiers to reinforce Hexian. On the same day, the newly appointed King of Sha, Chu Yue, led a thousand Sha Xi soldiers to support. After the new Left Wise King's failed siege, the Wolf King of Northern Pangu personally led the army, vowing to break Hexian at any cost. On the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Wuyong, Deng Hui arrived at the battlefield with over fifteen hundred Zhuyi Guard soldiers. Under the command of Li Tongguang, the combined forces of Anwu resisted the Northern Pangu tribes.
Despite repelling the Northern Pangu army once again, Li Tongguang feared they would resume the attack in two days. Ning Yuanzhou assured him that the new Emperor of Wudou would arrive with a twenty-thousand-strong army in two days. Simultaneously, Yang Ying brought two thousand people to support Hexian and also brought food and military supplies collected from Andu.
Ruyi guessed that Ning Yuanzhou did not tell the truth to everyone. It turned out that the reinforcements brought by the new Emperor were attacked by people from Chuguo, and they might not arrive in Hexian in two days. Ruyi thanked Ning Yuanzhou for helping stabilize the morale of Li Tongguang. Ning Yuanzhou stated that it was his duty.
Ruyi privately asked Yang Ying about her relationship with Li Tongguang. Yang Ying said they respected each other, but she still had feelings for Yuanlu and often thought of him. Ruyi told Yang Ying that as long as she was honest with herself, whether a woman loved one person or many people in her life, she deserved respect.
Ning Yuanzhou used to be afraid every time he carried out a mission. However, this time, with Ruyi by his side, he felt no fear. Sun Lang, Qian Zhao, and Yuanlu had turned into stars but had always accompanied them. Ruyi didn't believe in the six realms of reincarnation, which made life particularly precious. Although Ruyi comforted Yang Ying, she still worried that Hexian might not hold and feared that Ning Yuanzhou would not be by her side when she died. Ning Yuanzhou assured her that he would definitely accompany her.
Chu Yue envied the relationship between Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou, hoping that Yu Shisan would treat her the same way. However, Yu Shisan always avoided his feelings. Still, he promised to do his best to defend Hexian and assured Chu Yue that she would live well for the next few decades. Yu Shisan claimed to be a playboy and unwilling to be tied down by emotions, preferring not to be annoyed with Chu Yue in the latter part of their lives.
As the Northern Pangu army attacked again, threatening Li Tongguang to surrender by using captured comrades, Li Tongguang split his forces into two wings to besiege the Northern Pangu army. On the battlefield, while rescuing trapped subordinates, Li Tongguang unexpectedly encountered an attack by Northern Pangu soldiers. In the end, Deng Hui saved Li Tongguang, sacrificing himself and urging Li Tongguang not to be softhearted as a regent. Li Tongguang blamed himself for Deng Hui's death and refused to leave the battlefield, ultimately being knocked unconscious by Ruyi, who then took him away.
Facing the siege of the Northern Pangu army, Ning Yuanzhou and Yu Shisan split into two routes to return to the city. Yu Shisan, leading Chu Yue, returned to the city but was unfortunately bombed midway. Yu Shisan lost his eyesight due to the explosion and sent Chu Yue back to the city on a horse. He, with a single-handed effort, resisted the pursuit of the Northern Pangu army, guarding Chu Yue's way back to the city.
