15 flags or bust

Origami is not He Yan’s speciality.😂 They do at least slightly resemble a flower in ‘freeform’ style. Here again their lives mirror. Both were sent to same school, to the military quite young and little time at home with their families. She seems to be far more comfortable in social settings than Xiao Jue, but they both are scarred from betrayal and loss of family. His family loved him but their eldest son was favored outside of immediate family. He Yan was never the favorite in hers. She was the stand in for them to save face, and then discarded so this secret would never surface. And the most disgusting part is how vile and ungrateful the brother is about the whole thing. The father is contemptible, but the son may be even worse. The next competition was for flags. He Yan had a map drawn of the area and started with hardest flag. After two teams divided them she dueled for all flags to winner. This time her weapon of choice was a whip. She noted her opponent had unique moves she wasn’t familiar with, but it did not stop her from wrapping him up and securing him to tree til he conceded his flags. She even proudly presented a basket of her flags to Xiao Jue fully expecting she had invite to elite league all lined up. The officers are playing chess and each voting for a side. Xiao Jue has it figured out from the get go, but chooses Lei Hou as the winner. Whether this was to protect her gender status from others or because he thought Lei Hou truly better, I am not really sure yet. This may even be one he considers a spy to keep closer eye on him. I do, however, think it was rather cowardly to have his subordinate dole out the bad news while he doled out the candy. His attempt to sweeten the moment is probably going to go over like a lead balloon. The wine has hit the table and I’m sure she is going to drink her sorrows away now. The disciple and fake general are plotting. Supplies have been deliberately withheld and the disciple wants to throw it all at Xiao Jue like he is bullying the official for supplies. The fake general is countering to hurt someone and the disciple is countering to get the official’s job. These two schemers deserve each other. I hope they share a similar bad fate. I can’t feel sorry for the disciple being bullied when he now has become the bullyer at a much greater level than a single person. I still want to know who thought it was a good scheme to kill 30k troops? The machinations in this drama have been for spite and revenge and suppression of the truth. I am hoping the two swords get these miscreants handled to the degree they deserve.

Wolves vs patrol

Xiao Jue lines up the recruits and divides them into squads to do a land nav exercise. He makes He Yan captain to test her further. The flatbread is already getting old and two of the bandits decide they are going to go off grid and forage for better food options. One returns saying bandit is being bitten by wolves. He Yan sends him to find help. She takes her horse and rescues the big guy. Unfortunately this ends her up in an animal pit trap and she can’t get out. Meanwhile the one that left with bandit has returned to camp and is telling lavish lies about how they ran off. His story came to a screeching halt when the rest of the squad make it back to camp and accuse the messenger of running off their horses and leaving them to die. As their punishment is being debated, Xiao Jue goes to find her. She is reminiscing about a festival hugging a dead wolf to keep warm. She is rescued and tries to get wolf taken along. Xiao Jue agrees if she wants to give up her place in the horse for the wolf.😂Here she deserves a taste of her own medicine because she is getting rather cocky considering her circumstances. She returns back and he asks Dr Cheng to check her wounds. Now ironically he is an ob/gyn so this is really funny. There were a couple interesting things. He knows she is female and she slipped up with a quip about how he hadn’t changed much. Now she will have to come up with a fiancée.😂 The liar is executed. I don’t find this too harsh since he tried to kill a squad of his own men. This is unacceptable in military service. The others are pretty harsh. The bandit got beaten after a serious encounter with wolves. I feel he was punished just getting back on foot from that. The others were ordered to return yet were beaten for following her orders and leaving her behind. He is listening to Cheng comment on how harsh and asking He Yan if she agreed. He was surprised that she acknowledged they were harsh but necessary for military discipline. I don’t think he expected such a commander point of view. She said she wanted to be general and Xiao Jue notes this. He still has not put it together but wants to find out more about here. He knows she isn’t a boy, but that there is significantly more to her story than they know. The end scene has the disciple chatting with father about his day with chancellor. His father recommends he sticks like glue to him. He leaves disciple to deal with fake general. This one actually wanted a candle in temple to suppress his sister’s spirit. Like he has the power to do such a thing.😝 He is a miserable excuse for a human being. Can’t wait til his military prowess is put to test and he has none to speak of. Shortsighted father didn’t think about that. Hopefully he has some weapons training to cover the lie, but even if skilled it won’t cover what years of actual command in the field teaches you. He leaves a gift for the father and leaves after snubbing disciple. It is revealed that he was adopted and considered illegitimate which explains his attitude and the fire scene. A group was trying to deliberately burn him. He should stick with the chancellor. It’s got to be better than staying at home with these snobby people. The deal with the wolves is so fake, but her dreaming of the festival while holding a dead wolf as partner is rather funny. I find myself well entertained in spite of the obvious flaws of the circumstances. When she finds out he is the anonymous one that voted for her 😂🤣 and when she receives the ointment from him she remembers from her youth in school. He is making the connections, but what will he do when he figures it out? And they are plotting to have fake general show up to challenge him. Wonder how that is going to go? He would not even recognize the twin sword and reveal himself as imposter. Her family has put her in a no win scenario. She was first imposter at her family’s demand. How does her mother fit into this? Why did she desert her daughter?

Brutally taking the lives

Ofcourse it was quite shocking for Fan Xian to discover the Emperor in his mother's mansion, and even locking it down. And now the Crown Prince who was captured instead of Fan Xian intends to ally with Lin Ruofu, but LR doesn't trust him. The Crown Prince is trying to persuade Fan Xian that he'll support him together with Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, while obviously his intentions are clear, just as they were all discussing suddenly the clinking of the swords was heard and when LR's person went out to look it was a bloodbath, all the men were brutally murdered by someone, they refused to let the crown prince out cause his guards weren't the ones who came, it could be anyone, Now in the room of Four people only Fan Xian knows martial arts. Ah the only one Xie Bi'an, second prince's aid, I like Second prince so much more, just like the Director of Imperial Guards. He's here for Fan Xian so that his BroTher won't be able to persuade Fan Xian, and telling him that his brother is always a persuasive talker. It was really sad that all those people were brutally murdered by Xie Bi'an, their families outside the capital and they can't even be buried, cause it might bring harm to LR. Fan Xian and Wan'er had a heart to heart talk. While I do feel sad when I see Wuzhu. And now Fan Xian is summoned in Imperial Harem, his step mum (well I like them now, they look like family now) and RuoRuo will go with him, it'll be so interesting, cause he's heading there to remember the routes so he can break in later.

think the fall from the 1st life & the…

think the fall from the 1st life & the head injuries from the 2nd, have turned Armin into a special needs case. cause idk who is moronic enough to go on talking about the future & if that wasn't enough, he keeps going up to absolute strangers & starts bombarding them with the past, as if they also know WTF he is talking about & can give him answers, as to what happened on the day he died. like WTF is wrong with this dude?!? u don't need to be a genius to figure out what u need to say, who to say it too, let alone when.... but the dude's suffering from diarrhea of the mouth - there is no thought process, what pops-up in his brain comes out of his mouth. it's not even cringe moments, just a continues face-palm moment with this dude. *****************& the sh*t about everything happening faster, is utter b.s - he just didn't know the people he would come to know in the future, so when he came across them in the 1st life he just didn't recognize them. like i watched a ton of BL's & drama's, yrs later sometimes when i rewatch something i realize '...wow this actor was also here...' but when i saw this the 1st time, i didn't know the actor so there was no need to notice him! this commonsensical - but we talking Armin so common sense not that common i guess - lol ... aish **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************still haven't figured out why TD is so enamored with Armin & why he is putting his life on a hold, to run around helping him. but if he cared so much why hasn't he offered him a better contract at his agency?!? wouldn't that be the best way to take care of Armin & his career?!? *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& i know men can't hit women - but OMG i need someone to come slap Lilly's face off! not black & blue - that her skin will come off. she's a pimp & disgusting - i NEED some justice to be meted out ASAP in her case

Five Stars

This is too adorable, a drunk He Yan has gone to Xiaojue complaining. And she even said his name instead of Commander lol, was like "XiaoJue you have gone too far!" Ahhhhhh see him, just smiling at her drunken state. This drunken conversation is funny. She's so bold when she's being all drunk ahhhh, he was flustered for a second there, his expression. That was kinda hot, she just pulled him closer and whispered in his ear that I know you suspect there's a spy within the recruits, but you have tested me again and again and you can see I'm not the spy, she told him she knows who is the spy, Lei Hou. She was so drunk that she just pulled Qinglang out of it's scabbard and started swinging it around and resulted into breaking XiaoJue's precious Zither, ah now's the moment to say "this was the moment that she knew, she fucked up". Ahhhhhhh! She just went on her knees and hugged Xiao Jue's waist, he was flustered. Her drunk whining is adorable, and when she slipped and they both fell together on the ground. Haha she slept so soundly in XiaoJue's tent lol. She used his treasured sword to cut his treasured zither, still alive lol. After that, He Yan got a glimpse of the man, from her pov it's the man who attacked her on the cliff in Temple, his severed finger and voice being recognised. Now the Banquet attack arc, XiaoJue and He Yan (disguised as Cheng Lisu) will go to Sun Xiangfu's place. She looks adorable in CL's clothes. I'm laughing so hard, Feinu is so concerned about his Master lol, he is worried his master would fall for He Yan (male), so he's telling HY to either share a room with him and leaving XJ alone or stay in her room tonight and not leave it. He Yan really overdid it, how she's gonna eat so much lol. The investigation will begin.

All’s fair in competition

He Yan escaped the spring after much bubble making and some hand to hand combat.😝 She knows she is being set up for elite recruits on the table but accepts it. She boasts in ten days to beat the best in archery and spear. Enjoyed the flat bread betting table😂 Xiao Jue promises to train but was not present after the first night tested. She wants him to see her progress so goes into his quarters. I was not a fan of the spinning room filming.😝 There was a poignant moment when she saw her blade that Xiao Jue took from her. She recovered quickly when commander shows up. I like how she showed up bandit. There is no way that was for real, but it was very fun to watch. The same with spear challenge. It suspended belief but I didn’t care, it was completely entertaining. Does Cheng know who she is? The slip of heroine to hero? The deliberate catch and return of stone a nice acknowledgement between them. He has reason to loathe her because of how fake General lied about things, but he also finds himself intrigued by her. Being called boss by the losers is just fun. They get to feast before training competition picks up again. I notice the one not smiling at her achievements, but I don’t know who he is. He sticks to the sidelines. Cheng is the benefactor of the evening feast. I guess that is how he is making himself useful?😂 I can’t wait to see who the prospective bride is he is hiding from.🧐
