A Journey to Love Episode 8 Recap
> A Journey to Love Recap
After calculating the speed of travel, it was estimated that Zhou Jian would catch up with the expedition in about an hour, and a fierce battle was unavoidable. Ruyi asked Yuanluo for two thunderfire bombs, intending to blast the mountain road on the way back, gaining half an hour for everyone. Yuanzhou urgently adjusted the plan, deciding to lead Zhou Jian to the strategically difficult Tianxing Gorge, where several ambushes would be set up to intercept Zhou Jian's scout team.
Yang Ying was unwilling to leave alone and ultimately chose to witness the impending battle with everyone. Yuanzhou instructed Ruyi to assassinate Zhou Jian, while Qian Zhao placed poison along Zhou Jian's route. Exhausted from marching a thousand miles, the army would surely use the water source, but Qian Zhao, being from Wuzhou, did not poison it, only weakening their strength. At the fork in the road, Yu Shisan set up an ambush, successfully defeating some of Zhou Jian's advancing troops.
Later, Zhou Jian continued to pursue the expedition, encountering a double ambush of mist and thunderfire bombs, resulting in countless casualties. Ruyi, Yuanzhou, Yuanluo, Qian Zhao, and others took advantage of the chaos to enter the canyon, where Yang Ying was almost killed but saved by Du Changshi in a critical moment. With too many people under Zhou Jian's command, Yuanzhou and Ruyi decided to capture the leader first. They cooperated to approach Zhou Jian, successfully holding him hostage and persuading the soldiers to lay down their weapons. Despite the difficult process, the outnumbered forces eventually turned the tide in this large-scale battle.
Yuanluo collapsed from exhaustion due to the intense battle, and Qian Zhao rushed to bring him back to the inn for treatment. Ruyi inquired about Yuanluo's fainting, and Yuanzhou explained that Yuanluo had a weak pulse since childhood and couldn't handle too much excitement or fatigue. After this battle, Ruyi experienced the feeling of fighting together for the first time.
Worried that Yang Ying, witnessing so much death and injury for the first time, might be emotionally unstable, Du Changshi arranged for her to be received by the local governor of Lingzhou. Yang Ying didn't want anyone else to die because of her, so she asked Ruyi to teach her how to kill. Yuanluo's injuries worsened, and Qian Zhao urgently needed a Silver Ring Snake Gall as a medicinal catalyst. Learning that both Qingjing Mountain and Shahe Gou had this snake, Ruyi and Yu Shisan went to search for it together.
Du Changshi asked the governor of Lingzhou to send someone to escort Zhou Jian to the capital. Yet, before entering Anguo, they encountered an assassination attempt, making him more worried about Princess Yang Ying's safety. Yuanzhou learned from Qian Zhao that Ruyi had gone to help find the Silver Ring Snake Gall. Worried about Ruyi's injuries, he hurriedly went to Qingjing Mountain to find her. Ruyi and Yu Shisan searched for the snake in Qingjing Mountain, with Ruyi almost getting injured. Fortunately, Yuanzhou arrived in time to save her.
Yu Shisan hurried back to deliver the snake gall, leaving early. Both Yuanzhou and Ruyi were concerned about each other's injuries. Ruyi helped Yuanzhou reset his dislocated arm and asked him to check her back wound, causing Yuanzhou, who already had an inexplicable affection for Ruyi, to become even more confused. On the way back, the delayed poison in Yuanzhou's body flared up for the first time. Unable to obtain the antidote, he could only suppress it with internal force, and Ruyi also helped with this. After suppressing the poison, both exhausted, they leaned on each other and slept. The next day, Ruyi, enjoying the beautiful morning scenery in the mountains, felt particularly happy. Yuanzhou and Ruyi returned to the inn, learning that Yuanluo had been successfully rescued, making both of them very happy. Ruyi, with a flower she picked herself, gave it to the awakened Yuanluo, causing Yuanzhou, who had only one flower, to feel a bit jealous.
