Love in the Desert Episode 24 Recap
> Love in the Desert Recap
After Huo Qingyun married Huang Beishuang, he did not attend to state affairs for seven days. Sha Qu complained but dared not disturb him. Ruo Wen believed that Fentian was not a place they could stay for long and planned to attack Yun Pei to secure a place for survival. Ge Xinwei suggested they go to Tiandu and ally with Huo Qingyun. General Wu proposed attacking Tiandu, urging Na Zhan not to always avoid Huo Qingyun's threats.
Na Zhan thought Tiandu’s terrain was complex and asked General Wu how confident he was in victory. Knowing that Huang Beishuang was still alive, Na Zhan planned to use "Erna's Lament" to threaten her into appearing. He would send a letter to Tiandu to intimidate them, hoping to get a satisfactory response. Otherwise, he was prepared to fight to the death with Tiandu. Ge Xinwei believed Huang Beishuang was still alive and sent her a message using a carrier pigeon.
Yun Pei demanded that Huo Qingyun hand over Huang Beishuang’s body, threatening to reclaim the oasis of "Erna's Lament" if he didn’t negotiate in person within three days. Huang Beishuang believed that "Erna's Lament" belonged to the people of Yun Pei but knew Na Zhan wouldn’t leave her in peace. Huo Qingyun refused to let anyone take Huang Beishuang away, but she didn’t want to see the two cities go to war.
Huo Qingyun planned to make alterations to the Desert Scroll to stall Na Zhan. Huo Qingyun bid farewell to Huang Beishuang, telling her to wait for his return. Huang Beishuang received a distress message from Ge Xinwei, asking for her help to resolve the collapse crisis in Fentian. Huang Beishuang consulted Elder Rong, worried that Na Zhan might uncover the secrets of the Desert Scroll.
Elder Rong assured her that Na Zhan couldn’t, as he, Na Qida, and Rong Ruo had constructed the scroll long ago. The sixth chapter, regarding the oasis, had been given to Rong Ruo, who had since disappeared without a trace. Elder Rong mentioned Rong Ruo's disappearance in Sanjiang City, where they discovered caves beneath the city. He believed that if Rong Ruo were alive, he would have left clues for Huo Qingyun.
Huang Beishuang decided to investigate personally, and Elder Rong urged her not to inform Huo Qingyun, as Huo Qingyun was the key to restraining Na Zhan. Huang Beishuang replied to Ge Xinwei’s message, arranging a private meeting and explaining that she couldn’t appear publicly. Ge Xinwei lied, saying she was going to Tiandu to find a way to deal with the Desert Scroll, hoping Ruo Wen wouldn’t rashly deploy troops.
Ruo Wen personally helped Ge Xinwei put on her shoes, teasing her for being so careless, and reminded her to return quickly. When Huo Qingyun returned after handling matters, he believed Na Zhan would eventually learn the truth. Huang Beishuang thought they should make progress before that happened. Elder Rong sent a message to Ruo Wen, asking him to meet in Tiandu. However, Ruo Wen, concerned about Ge Xinwei’s safety, rushed to Tiandu, uninterested in meeting Elder Rong.
Elder Rong understood Ruo Wen’s anger but explained that their Rong family had been tasked with protecting the royal bloodline and hoped Ruo Wen would understand, encouraging him to work with Huo Qingyun to confront Na Zhan. Huang Beishuang asked Ge Xinwei to go to Sanjiang City to investigate but cautioned her not to involve anyone else. Ruo Wen encountered Yun Pei soldiers provoking him in the desert and killed them without hesitation.
He then came across Ge Xinwei passing by. Ge Xinwei didn’t want Ruo Wen involved, so she lied, claiming that Huang Beishuang was dead. Ruo Wen sensed something off in her tone and, realizing she was heading to Sanjiang City, quietly followed her. Na Zhan, realizing the Desert Scroll had been tampered with and hearing that Ruo Wen had appeared near Tiandu, decided to go in person.
Huo Qingyun noticed a drastic change in Huang Beishuang’s behavior and became suspicious that she was an imposter, refusing to let her get close. After Ge Xinwei was discovered, she relayed Huang Beishuang's exact words. Huang Beishuang had used Ge Xinwei’s appearance to enter Sanjiang City. Huo Qingyun immediately prepared his horse to chase after her. Ruo Wen followed Ge Xinwei to Sanjiang City. After surveying the geography, Ge Xinwei found the entrance to the caves.
Ruo Wen was puzzled and remarked that Ge Xinwei had gotten smarter after her trip to Tiandu. Na Zhan, learning that everyone was heading to Sanjiang City, ordered his soldiers to kill them all without mercy.
