Dashing Youth Episode 29 Recap
> Dashing Youth Recap
Sikong Changfeng arrived at the seashore during a fierce thunderstorm, knowing that the time had come and quickly began to confront the forces. Meanwhile, Zhong Feizhan had already joined up with the two masters, and Ye Dingzhi had everything prepared. At that moment, the carriage arrived, and to Ye Dingzhi's surprise, Yi Wenjun stepped out of it. The lovers were finally reunited, and Yi Wenjun could not hold back her longing for Ye Dingzhi.
Upon seeing Yi Wenjun, Ye Dingzhi revealed that he had actually gone to the wedding on that day, even reaching the prince’s mansion, but he couldn’t take her away. Ye Dingzhi gently caressed Yi Wenjun, and the two finally embraced each other, crying in each other’s arms. At this point, Yue Qing knew that their plan had succeeded.
Her subordinates were ready for a big fight with Ye Dingzhi’s forces, stating that all those aware of their actions had to die. Wuxin recounted the scene of Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun's reunion to his master, mentioning how beautiful Yi Wenjun looked. Ye Dingzhi was immersed in the bliss of having Yi Wenjun by his side, at times feeling that this happiness was almost too good to be real.
At this moment, Ye Dingzhi received a letter from his subordinate, informing him that they planned to lure the enemies to Nanjue. The success of bringing Yi Wenjun out was largely thanks to Luo Qingyang’s help. After Yi Wenjun changed her clothes, she came out to meet Ye Dingzhi. The Grand Eunuch planned to inform Xiao Xie that their side was about to take action.
Xiao Xie first met with the Emperor and then informed him that Ye Dingzhi had taken Yi Wenjun away. He also hinted that only the Marquis of Zhenxi could have aided Ye Dingzhi in such an easy rescue, especially since Baili Dongjun had attempted to stop the wedding as well. Xiao Xie’s aim was to sow discord and have the Emperor reclaim the military power of the Marquis of Zhenxi.
The Emperor then entrusted Xiao Xie with handling the matter, which made him very pleased. That night, the ministers were summoned to the palace, though none of them knew what had happened. When the ministers were summoned, Xiao Ruofeng and Xiao Ruofeng quickly learned of it. Now, Xiao Xie’s biggest enemies were them, and this situation seemed to be targeting them specifically. Xiao Ruofeng had a different premonition.
Soon after, the Grand Eunuch announced that the Marquis of Zhenxi was suspected of treason, and a thorough investigation was ordered. The Emperor then sent a secret decree to Xiao Ruofeng, instructing him to bring the Marquis of Zhenxi and Baili Dongjun back to Tianqi City from Qiandong. At that time, Baili Dongjun was unaware of the events that had transpired, but Yue Yao received a message from a homing pigeon detailing the situation in Tianqi City.
Yue Yao informed Baili Dongjun that the Marquis of Zhenxi had been summoned to the palace under suspicion of treason. Baili Dongjun sought out his father and grandfather, expressing his desire to go in their stead. However, his father would not allow him to take such a risk. Over the past year, Baili Dongjun's swordsmanship had improved greatly, and his father agreed to let him go only if he could defeat him in a duel.
Yue Yao also earned the recognition of the Marquis of Zhenxi; as long as Baili Dongjun brought her back, the Marquis would approve. After a year of intense training, Baili Dongjun unexpectedly defeated his father. Witnessing Baili Dongjun’s progress, both his father and grandfather felt great pride. That night, the Marquis of Zhenxi drank wine with his grandson. Baili Dongjun understood that over the years, his grandfather had spared him from many hardships, keeping much from him.
While Baili Dongjun once dreamt of becoming a wandering hero, with the family's current troubles, he knew he had to fight for their survival. While Ye Dingzhi was in town shopping, he overheard people discussing the Marquis of Zhenxi’s alleged treason. Upon returning, he saw that the master had arrived. After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Dingzhi asked about the treason charges, but the master was unsure of the details.
Although the news had been sealed, anyone determined enough could still uncover the truth. It seemed that the matter was related to Yi Wenjun’s escape, and Xiao Xie likely framed the Marquis for it. The master left first, and Ye Dingzhi decided that since so many people were involved, he had to return to Tianqi City to assist the Marquis of Zhenxi. He asked Yi Wenjun if there was anything she needed him to do.
Yi Wenjun was most concerned about their child in Tianqi City but didn’t dare to tell Ye Dingzhi, as bringing the child out wouldn’t be easy. Soon after, the Marquis of Zhenxi received an imperial decree. The Marquis had been prepared for this and noticed that even the eunuch delivering the message seemed afraid. The decree accused the Marquis’ son of high treason, a crime punishable by death. The Marquis had already anticipated this outcome and found it somewhat amusing.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ruofeng had already brought troops to surround the Marquis’ residence. The Marquis was surprised at how quickly the Emperor had turned against him. He changed his clothes and came out, and Xiao Ruofeng informed him that he had orders to take him away, assuring him that if he had done nothing wrong, he wouldn’t be mistreated. Ye Dingzhi packed his belongings, preparing to head to Tianqi City. Yi Wenjun helped him pack, though she still felt worried for him. She stood watching as Ye Dingzhi departed.
