Wonderland of Love Episode 2 Recap
> Wonderland of Love Recap
Inside the Western Capital Imperial Palace, Grand Commander Sun Jing scored another goal in a game of ball. Former Crown Princess Xiao, in response, also scored a goal. They were both very happy, enjoying the pleasant weather, accompanied by their loved ones. Sun Jing's strategist, Xin Fu, hurriedly came and whispered something in Sun Jing's ear. His expression darkened instantly, and in a fit of rage, he struck the ball forcefully, hitting an eunuch's head.
Sun Jing summoned Lord Liang to inquire about Li Ni. Lord Liang was so scared that he shivered and tearfully recounted Li Ni's background. Li Ni's mother had died during a difficult childbirth, and he had been mischievous from a young age, often fighting with his elder brother. As he grew up, he became a lazy troublemaker, causing disturbances. It was for this reason that the late emperor had exiled him to Lao Lan Pass. However, Sun Jing pointed out that the seemingly mischievous and useless younger son in Lord Liang's account had cleverly used tactics to capture Wangzhou. Lord Liang didn't know how to respond and feigned illness, fainting.
At present, the three armies were in a standoff, which benefited no one. So, Cui Lin, disguised as Captain He, and Li Ni, disguised as Captain Pei Yuan, came to Guo Zhi's camp to negotiate. Guo Zhi proposed that one representative from each army should participate in a horse race, and the winning side would have the right to negotiate. Before the race began, Li Ni and Cui Lin, who had a hostile relationship, exchanged sharp words. During the intense race, Guo Zhi's subordinates were eager for victory and didn't avoid the arrows, pushing through to place their own side's flag into the iron jar. One of the horses got frightened and ran straight towards Cui Lin. Li Ni, who was nearby, acted quickly to protect her.
Li Ni and Cui Lin admired the courage of this subordinate, and they were both satisfied with the result. Guo Zhi believed that it was approaching dusk and the priority was to bury this subordinate. He invited both of them to stay the night and discuss negotiation matters the next day. Li Ni and Cui Lin readily agreed. However, during the night, Guo Zhi planned to capture their heads to claim credit with Sun Jing. He had sent them snacks with a secret ingredient.
Meanwhile, Li Ni wanted to investigate Cui Lin's background and quietly infiltrated her tent. However, Cui Lin seemed to have anticipated this and effortlessly captured him. Just then, Guo Zhi's snacks were delivered. In the short time they were out of the tent, Li Ni, who was tied up, disappeared without a trace. When Cui Lin realized the situation was turning bad, it was already too late, and Li Ni had tied her up.
While the two were in a standoff, Guo Zhi's army quietly approached. However, many rockets flew in from an unknown source, setting Guo Zhi's camp in chaos. Cui Lin and Li Ni, although from different camps, now had a common enemy and decided to put aside their previous grievances and stand together. Seizing the opportunity, Li Ni called for Xie Zhanger to inform Pei Yuan to guard the city gate. Cui Lin, on the other hand, took the chance to slip away.
Cui Lin tore off a piece of her clothing and left it by the road to erase her footprints, intending to confuse Li Ni, who was chasing her. When Li Ni arrived, he suspected Cui Lin's scheme but decided to outsmart her. He pushed her into a river, seeking revenge for the previous incident when she pushed him into a well. However, after Cui Lin fell into the water, she quickly went silent, and the ripples caused by her struggle gradually subsided. Although they had their differences, Li Ni wasn't a heartless person who would let innocent people die. He promptly jumped into the water to rescue Cui Lin. After pulling her to safety, Cui Lin took advantage of Li Ni's momentary distraction and used a hidden weapon in her mouth to strike his acupoint, causing him to faint. In gratitude for Li Ni saving her, Cui Lin hid him in the bushes to prevent him from being discovered by pursuers.
Cui Lin rode her horse ahead, but she lost her way. Frustrated and disoriented, she was suddenly startled when a swarm of horse bees scattered in all directions ahead. Cui Lin fell into a pitfall trap. Fortunately, she only injured her leg and didn't hit any vital areas. Her white horse was frantic but could do nothing except neigh loudly. In desperation, Cui Lin called for the white horse to go and get help.
During the night, Cui Lin sat motionless in the pit, unable to move. She could only watch the bright moon in the sky while her stomach growled, and she gazed longingly at the moonlight. The bone-chilling cold wind rustled the weeds, making eerie sounds. Footsteps approached slowly from not far away, accompanied by an unfamiliar fragrance. After a while, Li Ni, holding roasted meat, blocked the moonlight shining on Cui Lin. Li Ni offered the roasted meat in exchange for Cui Lin handing over the army's supplies to him. Cui Lin refused, insisting that someone would avenge her even if she died. Li Ni had no choice and jumped into the pit. However, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to harm Cui Lin, so he handed her the roasted meat.
