After the fall of Xie Yu, Mei Changsu began to liquidate King Yu, starting with the red sleeve move. At the same time, Qin Banwan found out that Mei Changsu was behind the ghost, and he also began to launch a counterattack. However, in view of Su Zhai's tight defense, she decided to find another way and found her senior sister Jun Niang, trying to use Tong Lu, the food delivery person of the Jiangzuo League, as a breakthrough.
Tong Lu, a member of the Jiang Zuo League, his sister was brutally murdered by the former Hubu Shangshu, and his mother was also taken to Langzhou, and he was deeply favored and protected by the Jiang Zuo League. Therefore, he has a strong sense of belonging to Jiang Zuomeng. Since Mei Changsu moved to Su's house, in order to avoid intelligence leakage, he appointed Tong Lu to be solely responsible for external liaison. The importance of this position not only reflects his ability, but also reflects Mei Changsu's trust in him.
However, what is puzzling is why this core figure of Jiang Zuo League was easily broken by Jun Niang? After three brushes, we understand the hunter and the prey in this chase. At the beginning, when Qin Banqiao and Jun Niang stepped on the spot together, Qin Banwan pointed to Tong Lu and asked, "Is that the man who delivered the food?" In Jun Niang's eyes, Tong Lu is just an extremely rough man, both in appearance and work, and she thinks that it is easy to deal with him.
But when Jun Niang first fainted on the street, Tong Lu just glanced at her, and when she heard her say that she was going to go to her aunt to live in Qiujia Street, he planned to turn around and leave, he had no intention of meddling. However, his neighbors were concerned about Jun Niang's condition, which forced him to help give her a ride. Tong Lu's identity is an ordinary food delivery worker, he is honest and sincere. He is always obligated to help his neighbors. But this help is more based on his identity needs. He instinctively became wary of Jun Niang who suddenly broke into his life, and even asked his friend Mr. Thirteen to find out the origin of Jun Niang.
Many viewers may think that Tong Lu at this time has developed feelings for Jun Niang. Perhaps this is one of these factors, but we may be overlooking a key issue: Tong Lu's identity is that of an ordinary man who longs to live an ordinary and normal life, marry and have children. Therefore, in order not to be noticed and arouse suspicion, he needs some necessary disguise and cover. Jun Niang took advantage of this weakness to get close to him. So when the two came into contact, he was very vigilant.
Jun Niang always silently revealed her good impression of Tong Lu, and Tong Lu asked Mr. Thirteen to verify Jun Niang's identity, on the one hand, out of duty, to eliminate any possible hidden dangers and risks; On the other hand, he is also trying to judge whether this poor girl Jun Niang, who has a love for him, is suitable to be his future wife.
Background investigation is a routine process, but unfortunately, the technology and means at that time were quite limited, and this time Qin Banqiao made careful arrangements for Tong Lu's investigation, and Jun Niang's identity information was extremely detailed, so he successfully concealed the experienced Mr. Thirteen, and Tong Lu was unaware. It is this reassurance that makes Tong Lu gradually have a deep affection for Jun Niang. The relationship between the two is heating up day by day, and Jun Niang's existence is like a bright light waiting for him, warm and bright. Tong Lu even changed his previous habits, and became quick and efficient when he went to Su Mansion to report to work, always coming and going in a hurry.
Despite this, his loyalty to Jiang Zuomeng and Mei Changsu remained unchanged. Even if he was captured by Qin Panweak, he resolutely did not reveal the slightest information. So Qin Banwan used Jun Niang as a bargaining chip to try to force Tong Lu to submit. In the face of coercion, Tong Lu showed extraordinary wit. He understands that Jun Niang is innocent, and it is entirely because of his relationship that he was involved. In order to protect her, he chooses to expose Miao Yin Fang as a compromise.
There are three deep meanings hidden behind this move: first, it makes Qin weak and mistakenly think that he is affectionate to Jun Niang; the second is to turn from resistance to confession, which makes Qin Panwan more convinced of his confession; The third is to buy valuable time, so that Mr. Thirteen's side can get the news in advance and be prepared to deal with it. When Qin Banqiao took further action, Tong Lu was already on guard, insisting that he was not hiding it.
However, what he never expected was that Jun Niang, who had been personally examined by him, turned out to be a weak senior sister like Qin. This sudden truth made him reveal the secret of the "Fire Cold Poison" in a hurry, and then let Xia Jiang guess Mei Changsu's true identity. On the other side, Jun Niang finally unveiled the true veil of Qin's weakness.
What was promised only once was fleeting, and it became an endless extraction. She witnessed Tong Lu betraying Jiang Zuomeng in order to save her, and fell into pain and malaise. This deep guilt makes it difficult for Jun Niang to deal with herself. Therefore, when King Yu decided to attack Jiu'an Mountain, she resolutely let Tong Lu go and let him deliver the news. With her petite body, she withstood a large number of pursuing soldiers, closed the door of life for herself, and opened the way for the child to live.
Tong Lu faces great heartache, but he knows that he must make up for this mistake. At the critical moment of escorting Zhen Ping out of the city gate, he did not hesitate to risk his life. It can be said that Mei Changsu and Jing Yan were able to win narrowly in the battle of Jiu'an Mountain, thanks to the selfless dedication of Jun Niang and Tong Lu, the hard-working mandarin ducks.
Although Tong Lu and Jun Niang's encounter began with each other's calculations, this cannot hide their sincere feelings for each other. Two hearts may not always be honest with each other, and there is no secret, but those feelings that are cared for with heart are always worth cherishing. Even if there is no happy ending in the end, those brilliant moments that we have experienced together are also worth remembering and cherishing.
