Ep. 15: Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu play zithers while Jing Ke fights Qin troops

15

Gao Jianli and Kuang Xiu perform a zither duet, unaware that Jing Ke is battling Qin soldiers intent on their assassination. Gao Jianli eventually joins Jing Ke in the combat, and together they defeat the attackers. However, Kuang Xiu is killed while continuing to play his instrument amidst the fighting. The trauma causes Gao Jianli’s mind to drift back to a previous confrontation with White Phoenix, leaving him wounded. In a separate area, Xiang Shaoyu rescues Tianming, and the pair remains outside the main conflict in the Central Hall, where they continue to fend off Qin troops.
