Kingdom Season 4 Episode 5 Recap
The 5th Episode of Kingdom Season 4, named “Sword and Shield,” opens with Liu Yi running out of the tunnel with her maids in order to get help for Cheng Jiao. They then come across Xin and a few others. On the other hand, Cheng Jiao, along with Zhu Han, confronts Pu Ge, the latter who is protected by guards. Pu Ge then reveals that he has no fear as the “most powerful man” in the city, aka Buwei Lu, has his back. According to Pu Ge, even if there were people that would be killed to fulfill his goals, he would not care because the world is full of losers and winners. Lastly, he claims that he will be the winner by not only taking over Tunliu but also capturing his wife, Liu Yi. This angers Cheng Jiao, and he charges forward.
As the clash takes place, we see Liu Yi come with help. Since the horses cannot move forward, Xin and Kyou Kai go ahead on their own. When the remaining of the crew join them, there is a deadly silence in the air. Wondering what happened, Liu Yi walks forward only to see an area with a lot of bloodshed and bodies, one of them being Cheng Jiao. Now almost dying, he tells her that she is now responsible for bringing his faction together. Not only this, but he asks her to unite whoever remains and later join forces with Zheng.
When he sees that Xin is also present there, he tasks Xin with something important as well. He spoke of Zheng, who had told him that he wanted to end the 500-year war. However, he also acknowledged that it was not something one man could do alone. Cheng Jiao, thus, wanted to be the person to step in and handle things when Zheng was tired. Sadly since he couldn’t do anything more now, he reminded Xin that the latter was not only Zheng’s sword but also his shield. This is when Xin assures him that he will never be defeated and, in turn, be with Zheng till he achieves his goal. With whatever strength he has left, he turns to Liu Yi to tell her that he has been in love with her since they first met. To this, she replies that she knows and makes Cheng Jiao smile as he finally takes his last breath. When the news of his death was let out, his army, as well as those close to him, began mourning on the battlefield. Xin is reminded of the bittersweet childhood memories of Cheng Jiao.
On the other hand, the battle between Bi and Long Yin continues, and the former gains instant victory. Xin decides to go to meet Zheng 10 days later to apologize. Liu Yi, also present, gains confidence through her anger to overthrow Lu, suggesting that they take him down politically by joining forces as brother and sister. Zheng agrees. The Episode ends with Xin confronting Lu Buwei, claiming that he can never be king because he lacks a sense of Justice.
