Brocade Odyssey Episode 24 Recap
> Brocade Odyssey Recap
Yang Jinglan rode alone, while archers had already set an ambush along the way. Using an assassin’s corpse as a decoy, he lured their attention and discovered their positions, only to find they were far more numerous than expected. His horse, Treading Snow, was struck by a hail of arrows and killed. Overcome with grief and anger, Yang Jinglan endured his injuries and fought ten men at once.
Exhausted and surrounded by heavy troops, he was on the brink of being captured when Gao Fang arrived with reinforcements. Ji Yingying arrived at the Yang family in a wedding sedan, her expression emotionless, while Yang Jinglin smirked crookedly. As they prepared to bow to each other in the marriage ceremony, a sword flew in and pierced the ceremonial silk ball. Ji Yingying turned sharply to see Yang Jinglan, battered and bloodied, standing at the doorway.
Yang Juxian, alarmed, asked him what had happened. Yang Jinglan accused Yang Jinglin of taking advantage of the situation and declared he would never agree to the marriage. Yang Jinglin retorted but was shoved to the ground by Yang Jinglan. Yang Jinglan declared his intent to take Ji Yingying away and warned everyone not to stop him. Grandmother Yang called out to him, criticizing his rashness and lack of consideration for Ji Yingying’s reputation.
Hearing this, Yang Jinglan hesitated and turned to Ji Yingying. Tearfully, Ji Yingying gently pushed his hand away, saying that the marriage was voluntary and she could not break her promise. Yang Jinglan, furious, threatened to cut out anyone’s tongue who spread rumors, but Grandmother Yang pointed out that such actions couldn’t silence everyone. To resolve the matter, Yang Jinglan publicly proposed to marry Ji Yingying himself.
Yang Juxian scolded him for delaying Yang Jinglin’s marriage plans, and the two began arguing. Grandmother Yang intervened to settle the matter, agreeing to let Yang Jinglin withdraw from the arrangement. Ji Yingying agreed to marry Yang Jinglan, but his injuries caused him to faint. Magistrate Meng, not wanting to offend the Yang family, released Ji Xu-shi and summoned a physician to examine her.
Zhao Xiuyuan arrived to investigate the situation and learned that Yang Jinglan had returned to marry Ji Yingying. When Yang Jinglan regained consciousness, Ji Yingying was by his bedside, crying. She felt even more heartbroken knowing that he had returned to protect her at all costs. Yang Jinglan wiped the tears from her face, reassuring her that he could not leave her. Ji Yingying, overwhelmed with guilt, didn’t know how to repay him.
To ease her distress, Yang Jinglan jokingly said it was merely cooperation, promising to write her a divorce letter once everything was resolved, as he couldn’t bear to see her unhappy. Yang Jinglan then presented the Shu Red wedding dress, which he had taken back from Prince Bai, returning it to Ji Yingying. The two freshened up and prepared for a new wedding ceremony. Representatives from various dye houses of the Flying Flower Association arrived to offer congratulations.
However, just as the house was filled with guests, the Deputy Commander barged into the Yang residence with soldiers, claiming to arrest Yang Jinglan under General Niu’s orders, accusing him of massacring military officers. Yang Jinglan produced the Crown Prince’s Fish Talisman, prompting everyone to kneel. Only the Deputy Commander doubted its authenticity. Yang Jinglan revealed his identity, and the Thousand Ox Guards descended from the roof under the Crown Prince’s orders to protect him.
The Deputy Commander, unwilling to offend the Crown Prince, reluctantly withdrew his troops. Zhao Xiuyuan witnessed the scene and tactfully left. Sang Shisi teased Yang Jinglan, calling him “Inspector Yang. ” Although Yang Jinglan wanted to continue the ceremony, his injuries prevented him from standing. Grandmother Yang suggested completing the ceremony immediately, and Ji Yingying agreed. Everyone carried Yang Jinglan back inside to proceed.
That evening, Ji Yingying let Yang Jinglan sleep on the bed while she stayed on the floor, ready to change his bandages as needed. While tidying up the bedding, Ji Yingying accidentally fell into Yang Jinglan’s arms, and the two exchanged an awkward glance. Ji Yingying expressed her concern about General Niu’s retaliation, but Yang Jinglan reassured her that, knowing his identity, General Niu would not dare act recklessly for now.
Ji Yingying felt a deep sense of gratitude for Yang Jinglan’s return, which gave her a rare feeling of security. Meanwhile, Zhao Xiuyuan admitted defeat, but Cheng Fengze urged him not to give up. Zhao Xiuyuan pointed out that Cheng Fengze also had feelings for Ji Yingying. Cheng Fengze denied this, saying he was merely a businessman interested only in Yizhou’s brocade industry.
A dancer approached Zhao Xiuyuan to test him, and he confessed he couldn’t let go of Ji Yingying. Cheng Fengze suggested destroying the relationship between the Yang family and Ji Yingying, but Zhao Xiuyuan mocked the idea. Infuriated, Cheng Fengze nearly strangled the dancer and instructed his subordinates to investigate the Yang family’s internal affairs, planning to dismantle it from within.
