Next we find Xiao Qiao scolding Song Yau for almost nothing making Zhou Yu very embarrassed . Next day
during a meeting, Xiao Qiao just came in and announced that her bracelet is lost.
She accuses Song Yau. They were about to check Song Yau’s room when an old lady
came and says she found a bracelet
in the bag of rice that Xiao Qiao handled the day before. It went on & on the
dumb scene……. I wonder now is it really necessary to create such a character
for Zhou Yu ???? I mean what’s the point in that?
Shun went to console Song Yau … & whatever he said , Zhou
Yu overheard & was not happy at all, as Shun was comparing Z’s wonderful
wife vs the crazy woman Xiao Qiao. Anyway the damage is done… Lu Su truthfully
tells Z, the alliance is not looking good due to Zhou Yu’s jealousy of Z.
Z has a plan, he went to Zhou Yu &
told him the rumoured Cao Cao's huge golden bird cage for his 2 most prized “birds”. He recites a poem….
which hinted that Zhou Yu’s wife and her beautiful sister- are the 2
most beautiful maidens/ birds of the land. The poem implies once Caocao wins,
he will capture Xiao Qiao and her sister. Zhou Yu is furious and vows to beat
Cao Cao. He advises Sun Quan to go for war against Cao Cao
but not with the Alliance....sneaky!!! Lau Bei
panics & Z suggested against all odds that they let caocao side know!
Man Yeuk warned Caocao that they must be wary of Sun Quan
instead as he is increasing his army plus LauBei’s army are all weak & old.
If they attack Lau Bei, Sun Quan might take advantage of that. And when news of
Lau Bei increasing army , Man Yeuk change his mind! They need to be wary of
both but keeping Sun Quan as an ally makes more sense since Lau Bei, Guan Yu
and Cheung Fei are loyal to the Han cause and so will never pledge allegiance
no matter what. They will destroy Lau Bei first , then Sun Quan later!
Man Yeuk goes to Sun
Quan and threatens him! No choice…. Z
goes to tell Sun Quan about Lau Bei’s decision. Either to declare war or consider
an alliance with Caocao. Z reminded him
that they are nobody compared to Sun Quan. So Caocao’s next target after Lau Bei will naturally be Sun
Quan. When Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were alone,
Sun Quan lost his temper & told Zhou Yu off! So
decision…… alliance with Lau Bei. I like this scene very much….. Sun Quan is unpredictable & definitely has a mind of
his own! Not like the very predictable Z….. everything comes from his wife
& his pal Shun!!!!!!
Then there’s the scene where Zhou Yu was having a headache thinking of what to do & Xiao Qiao happily came in & made a fuss over some new robes she has made for him. Poor
Zhou Yu was not in the mood scolded her & she went away crying…..
Next day, Zhou Yu had a hard time trying to explain to all the
ministers what’s happening with Sun Quan looking on. It’s funny… it’s almost
like SQ is enjoying torturing him, but it could be only me…lol…. Anyway the old
fools pick on every damn thing until Zhou Yu almost lost it then SQ shouted at
them to stop it! His decision is final he picks up a sword & slice off a
corner of a table to show he’s not joking. Want to have the same fate as the
sliced table …anyone???? I don’t think so….lol…
Thoughts: I thought the last part was so good!
LOVE IT !!!!!! Sun Quan is now officially the best character in this show. And Pierre did a damn good job! Much more macho than that Lau Bei who’s more
like a wuss with all his indecision!!!!
Ok to be fair it’s the tvb writer’s Lau Bei…. This is Pierre's episode, the show is redeeming itself through him!

Pierre is the only interesting character left. Even Ruco's 'promising' Zhou yu is spoilt by a very one-dimensional wife! Zhuge liang is overshadow by Yeut Ying & Shun.
ReplyDeleteMan Yeuk not bad either. It's clear he's a good man, but he's on Caocao's side so he does his best to help his boss.... even letting Hon in!
DeleteInteresting isnt it? Compare Man Yeuk to Zhou Yu. One is ok to let a person like Hon in & the other cant wait to get rid of Z!
DeleteI really did enjoy the part where Pierre lost his temper & scolded those old hacks....hahhaa.... like a real leader. In Fact all the leaders are ok, Cao cao is fine even Lady Choi was ok, only that Lau Bei is so wimpy !!!
ReplyDeleteYa lah.... I think TVB really did a dis-service to this Lau Bei figure! How can paint him to be such a wimp???
Deletehaha.... everyone big Pierre's fan now. But he did bring a breath of fresh air into a otherwise dying show!
ReplyDeleteThe plot is finally moving !!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha... finally!!!!
