Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Episode 21 (Ending) Recap
> Cao Xuanxuan's Love Journey Recap
At the sacrificial ceremony, soldiers in full armor stood in formation, surrounding the entire event with elite guards. Zhou Qin walked alone on the red carpet towards the already prepared stage. When she reached the stage and turned around, the common people began to curse her, calling her a corrupt official. Zhou Qin was furious and ordered the already bound Prince and Cao Xuanxuan, along with several others, to be dragged out.
She intended to use the Prince’s head as a flag offering. Just as the executioner raised his axe to strike Zhou Shaoliang, his bodyguard, Long He, sacrificed himself to protect him, but was killed in the process. Zhou Qin arrogantly shouted, and Cao Xuanxuan declared that someone like Zhou Qin, who was utterly evil, had no followers. To insult everyone, Zhou Qin decided to execute one person at a time. She first chose He Chun.
Upon hearing this, Sun Weiyan became very anxious. Guo Zijie took responsibility, claiming it was all caused by him and that he would replace He Chun. Zhou Qin decided to deal with Guo Zijie first, but when the executioners hesitated to carry out the sentence, it was because Guo Zijie had been kind to their families. At this moment, the crowd of common people below also rose up in resistance, unwilling to let Zhou Qin execute Guo Zijie.
They clashed with the guards, and at that moment, people hidden among the crowd, who had come to rescue them, seized the opportunity to charge forward. However, Zhou Qin began indiscriminately killing innocent people, regardless of their age. She ordered the soldiers to kill all the citizens. Watching the people being killed one by one, Guo Zijie and the others were heartbroken. Just as Zhou Qin was celebrating her apparent victory, suddenly a barrage of arrows rained down.
It was the rescue forces from Prince Su. Upon seeing reinforcements, Zhou Qin ordered her men to capture Prince Su. Guo Zijie and the others went to find Prince Su and discovered the large amount of gunpowder that Zhou Qin had hidden. The group wondered why they hadn't fallen into danger. Guo Zijie and Cao Xuanxuan suggested that the others return, leaving only the four of them—Guo Zijie, Cao Xuanxuan, Sun Weiyan, and He Chun—to continue.
After walking for a while, Cao Xuanxuan urged the others to go back since Zhou Qin was targeting her. Cao Xuanxuan wanted to face him alone, but the other three refused to let her face danger alone and insisted on accompanying her. The group found the place where Prince Su was imprisoned, but at that moment, Prince Su was sitting on a chair, unconscious.
Behind him, a large amount of explosives was hidden, and the group dared not make a move. Prince Su was chained with iron chains, and there were triggers linked to gunpowder. Zhou Qin told them that to save Prince Su, they would need to find three keys hidden in a cave. Only when all three keys were used together could they open the lock on Prince Su.
The four of them searched for the keys, and Sun Weiyan found one, followed by He Chun, who found another. They opened two of the locks. Cao Xuanxuan guessed that the third key might be inside Prince Su's mouth. After searching, they found that it was indeed there. Upon unlocking the mechanism, Guo Zijie extinguished the fuse, and the group unshackled the iron chains around Prince Su and helped him up.
At this moment, Zhou Qin shouted that they had been tricked. Suddenly, a circle of scarecrows appeared around them, and each scarecrow was not only filled with explosives but also linked in a chain. Cao Xuanxuan guessed that if they triggered the wrong sequence, the explosives would detonate. Zhou Qin confirmed her suspicion, explaining that these explosives were not only meant to kill the four of them but also to destroy the entire Yan City.
The explosives had been set up many years ago by Zhou Qin. Guo Zijie, recalling previous events, deduced the correct sequence for the scarecrows. As the group was about to deactivate the scarecrows, Zhou Qin retracted them and asked Cao Xuanxuan to explain why she had found the sequence.
After hearing the reason, Cao Xuanxuan tried to persuade Zhou Qin to stop, but Zhou Qin revealed that her hatred for Cao Xuanxuan stemmed from an incident where Cao Xuanxuan had replaced her book and taken all the rewards, leaving Zhou Qin without money to treat her grandmother. The group wanted to capture Zhou Qin, but she was surrounded by explosives. If they approached her, she would detonate the explosives, taking them all with her.
In the end, Cao Xuanxuan attempted to rush forward, but Guo Zijie, seeing this, blocked her path and ran out instead. Zhou Qin detonated the explosives, knocking everyone unconscious. When Cao Xuanxuan woke up again, she found Guo Zijie seriously injured. Despite his injuries, Guo Zijie handed her a prepared Yan City journal. After reading it and recalling past events, Cao Xuanxuan broke down in tears.
When Cao Xuanxuan woke up again, she found herself back in the modern world, lying in bed. She asked about the whereabouts of the Yan City journal, hugged it to her chest, and fell back asleep. When she woke again, she saw Guo Zijie wiping her face. Upon seeing him, Cao Xuanxuan was overwhelmed with emotion and tears filled her eyes.
