Love in the Desert Episode 4 Recap
> Love in the Desert Recap
Huo Qingyun protected Huang Beishuang, narrowly avoiding detection by the desert bandits. After the bandits left, sand got into Huang Beishuang’s eyes, and Huo Qingyun leaned close to her face to blow the sand away. Meanwhile, Ruo Wen and Ge Xinwei stopped at a post station to rest.
Ruo Wen exchanged gold for the Masui map, but Ge Xinwei thought it was not worth the price and demanded a refund, only to be stopped by Ruo Wen, who wouldn’t allow her to cause trouble. Huo Qingyun took Huang Beishuang to an inn, where the people around were captivated by her beauty. Sha Qu came out to greet them, inviting Huo Qingyun to stay upstairs and subtly signaling the others to dismiss the drinkers.
Huo Qingyun asked Huang Beishuang how she obtained the *Desert Scroll*, and Huang Beishuang explained that it was a gift from one of her father’s old acquaintances, though she no longer remembered what he looked like. Sha Qu heard that Rong Lao had resurfaced in the desert and informed Huo Qingyun. The two set out to search for him but were ambushed by the secret guards of Tiandu along the way.
Huo Qingyun asked Sha Qu to continue gathering information, agreeing to meet at the inn in five days. Sha Qu had already discovered that Tiandu’s spies were staying at the inn, and Huo Qingyun decided to close in and wipe out all the spies. Ruo Wen and Ge Xinwei passed by the inn and noticed the red flag hanging outside.
Ge Xinwei assumed they would have to sleep on the streets again, but Ruo Wen saw a black flag on the inn, suspecting it was a place for exchanging military intelligence. He asked Ge Xinwei to cooperate with him in staging a scene to secure a room. Ge Xinwei agreed but only after making Ruo Wen promise her three favors, to which he reluctantly agreed.
Huo Qingyun learned that Na Zhan had taken Rong Lao before them and urged Sha Qu to draw a map of the Yunpei Palace as soon as possible. Sha Qu teased Huo Qingyun about bringing a woman back with him, but Huo Qingyun shifted the topic by pulling out the *Desert Scroll*. Ge Xinwei pretended to be blind, while Ruo Wen posed as a horse trader, both insisting on staying at the inn.
Luo Cheng, suspicious of the two, reported the matter to Huo Qingyun, thinking that the man looked like a desert bandit. Seeing that it was Ruo Wen, Huo Qingyun, worried about being recognized, hurriedly moved the sleeping Huang Beishuang. Ge Xinwei discovered some of Huang Beishuang’s personal belongings in the room and secretly took them while Ruo Wen wasn’t paying attention.
When Huang Beishuang woke up, she realized she was in Huo Qingyun’s room and learned that Ruo Wen was also staying at the inn. As Ruo Wen descended the stairs, he saw Huo Qingyun and found him somewhat familiar, but Huo Qingyun pretended not to know him. Ruo Wen seized the opportunity to search for the Masui city defense map. Ge Xinwei returned Huang Beishuang’s belongings and explained the situation to her, unintentionally revealing that she was the Ninth Princess.
Huo Qingyun was a bit puzzled, as he had heard Duo Zai also refer to Huang Beishuang as the Ninth Princess before. Realizing that Ruo Wen was after the Masui map, Huo Qingyun deliberately let him find it. Man Hu caught up with Huo Qingyun and shot him in the back with a poisoned arrow. Huang Beishuang saved Huo Qingyun and helped treat his wound, personally sucking out the poison, but she noticed that he wasn’t affected by the toxin.
When Huo Qingyun’s Mangliu waist tag fell, Huang Beishuang realized he had been lying to her all along and guessed that Huo Qingyun was the leader of Mangliu. Master Zhu received the border pass disc and reported the situation to Na Zhan, recording all the marriage alliance tribes. He mentioned receiving E Na Qi’s border pass disc at the last moment but hadn’t personally seen Na Xiu, suspecting they hadn’t reached Yunpei.
Na Zhan didn’t care, as he wasn’t concerned about the fate of Na Xiu and her people. His soldiers captured Rong Lao and placed him in a secret room in the library, where Na Zhan ordered strict surveillance, not allowing any slack. Na Zhan was wary of Mangliu’s people, believing they were involved in selling military and political secrets, and was concerned they could bring trouble to Yunpei. He instructed his men to be on high alert against them.
Huang Beishuang carefully tended to Huo Qingyun. While sleeping, Huo Qingyun had a nightmare and suddenly grabbed Huang Beishuang’s hand, begging her not to leave him. Huang Beishuang looked at the man in front of her and smiled warmly.
