Love of Nirvana Episode 28 Recap
> Love of Nirvana Recap
Yan Shuangqiao heard that Jiang Ci had been lured into a trap and taken to Moonfall City. Without a second thought, she rushed to rescue her. However, the Zhenyuan Army under Lu Yu had surrounded Moonfall so tightly that Yan Shuangqiao couldn’t enter. She knocked out a wandering soldier, changed into the Zhenyuan Army uniform, and sneaked into their camp. Pei Yan had bought Wei Zhao five days, during which Wei Zhao sent Uncle Ping out to seek reinforcements.
The five days quickly passed, and Lu Yu sent people to escort Moonfall citizens to the city gates, using them to pressure Wei Zhao into surrendering the city. Wei Zhao, prepared for an all-out battle, could only hope Uncle Ping would bring reinforcements in time. Together, they would launch an inside-and-outside attack to confront the Zhenyuan Army. Yi Fei quietly slipped out of the city and soon joined forces with Uncle Ping.
They signaled Wei Zhao, and with one command, numerous paper kites floated out of the city. The kites flew over the Zhenyuan Army’s ranks, and the soldiers, cutting the kite strings, suddenly found packets of spore dust spreading across their troops. The packets carried dysentery germs, causing panic and chaos among the soldiers. Moonfall City’s gates swung open, and Wei Zhao personally led the city’s soldiers to meet the enemy.
Yu Lian covered for Jiang Ci and the others as they rescued the captured citizens. Yan Shuangqiao spotted Jiang Ci and immediately called out to her. Wei Zhao, without a second thought, attacked Yan Shuangqiao. Jiang Ci frantically explained that she was not a part of the Zhenyuan Army but her master, yet Wei Zhao ignored her and pressed Yan Shuangqiao hard.
It suddenly dawned on Jiang Ci that the reason Wei Zhao kept her by his side was to kill Yan Shuangqiao. Pei Yan rushed into the fray to rescue Jiang Ci. Yu Lian joined Pei Yan in the fight, but Jiang Ci refused to leave with Pei Yan. In the chaos, she was captured by the deputy general of the Zhenyuan Army. Meanwhile, Wei Zhao used all his might to capture Yan Shuangqiao alive.
Uncle Ping led an attack on Liangzhou City, setting fire to the Zhenyuan Army’s supplies, leaving Lu Yu trapped between enemies. He had no choice but to withdraw to Liangzhou City. Jiang Ci was taken to the Zhenyuan Army’s camp, and Pei Yan, claiming she was a maid from the Pei household, tried to take her away. However, the deputy general refused and placed Jiang Ci in a prison cart.
Wei Zhao tortured Yan Shuangqiao for a confession, but she refused to reveal the truth of the past and hurled insults at him. Out of consideration for Jiang Ci, Wei Zhao spared Yan Shuangqiao's life. Lu Yu came to interrogate Jiang Ci, but she remained calm and composed. Enraged, Lu Yu dragged her out, causing the small clay cat in Jiang Ci’s hand to shatter. Inside was a letter written by Xie Chun, the King of Qi, to his daughter.
Lu Yu was ecstatic, realizing Jiang Ci was Xie Chun’s daughter. Lu Yu’s son, Lu Dalang, succumbed to illness and passed away. With no time to deal with Jiang Ci, Lu Yu temporarily locked her in prison and immediately led his troops to Qingkang, determined to battle Emperor Xie Che of Dacheng. Pei Yan, along with An Cheng and Tong Min, intercepted Lu Yu midway, advising him not to rebel.
Lu Yu ignored their pleas, and a fierce fight broke out between him and Pei Yan. Exhausted, Lu Yu was gravely injured. Seizing the opportunity, Pei Yan intended to rescue Jiang Ci, but An Cheng, worried for his safety, knocked him unconscious and carried him away. Alyu, who had been undercover in the Zhenyuan Army’s camp, saw Lu Yu taking Jiang Ci away and immediately reported it to Hong Jie.
Hong Jie quickly informed Wei Zhao, who stopped questioning Yan Shuangqiao and led his troops in pursuit of Lu Yu. As they left, Wei Zhao noticed that the flowers Jiang Ci had planted were blooming. Word spread among the people. Along the way, Wei Zhao encountered Pei Yan, who, still groggy, realized Jiang Ci hadn’t been rescued. Determined to turn back, Pei Yan was stopped by Wei Zhao, who informed him that Jiang Ci had been taken by Lu Yu.
Together, they planned to join forces to save her. Lu Yu led the Zhenyuan Army onto a large ship. Pei Yan chased them to the riverbank, continuously firing arrows at the ship to buy Wei Zhao time. Wei Zhao boarded the ship to rescue Jiang Ci, but the key to her iron chains was in Lu Yu’s possession, leaving him helpless.
Sensing something was wrong, Lu Yu quickly returned to the cabin, and a fierce battle ensued between him and Wei Zhao. Time ran out for the plan Pei Yan and Wei Zhao had agreed on, and with no sign of Wei Zhao, Pei Yan decided to release the floodgate, trapping the Zhenyuan Army's ship. Lu Yu rushed back to the deck. At that moment, the mysterious Mr.
Si, who had been secretly serving under Lu Yu, handed the Tiger Tally to Wei Zhao. Using the tally, Wei Zhao unlocked Jiang Ci's chains. Pei Yan waited, but with no sign of Wei Zhao or Jiang Ci, he spotted Lu Yu taunting him from the deck, confident Pei Yan wouldn’t dare open the floodgate. In response, Pei Yan shot a flaming arrow at the gate switch, causing the floodgate to crash down.
The Zhenyuan Army’s ship was trapped, caught on fire, and began to collapse, throwing soldiers into the water. Lu Yu took advantage of the chaos to jump overboard and escape. Wei Zhao pulled Jiang Ci into the river, and they swam with all their might to reach the shore. Jiang Ci lost consciousness from nearly drowning, and Wei Zhao stayed by her side, refusing to leave as he cared for her.
Yi Fei reported back to Wei Zhao, who ordered him to escort Yan Shuangqiao to Qingkang. Mr. Si came to see Wei Zhao, regretful that Lu Yu had escaped. Wei Zhao instructed him to write a letter to Emperor Xie Che of Dacheng, hand over the Tiger Tally, and then lead the Zhenyuan Army in surrender to Dacheng. Wei Zhao planned to return to Qingkang and fight for Moonfall’s rightful place.
An Cheng found Lu Yu's declaration of war against Dacheng and was shocked to learn that Jiang Ci was the daughter of Xie Chun, the King of Qi. When Jiang Ci finally woke up, she found the letter her father Xie Chun had written to her. She was both surprised and overjoyed to learn the truth about her identity. Wei Zhao, watching from the doorway, felt a mix of emotions.
Jiang Ci confronted Wei Zhao, demanding to know what had happened to her master, Yan Shuangqiao. She angrily listed all of Wei Zhao's wrongdoings, becoming increasingly furious until she knocked over the porridge Wei Zhao had made for her.
