I watched one or two seasons a long time ago, followed by two and three brushes. Today, I finally waited for the story of Ashin, but the appearance of Ashin gave me a deep question, that is, it was too clever.
1. Let me first give out my own wonderful brain holes-hints from the director and screenwriter
Have you noticed that there is a letter in the names of these two people, only two-character names, two coincidences, the so-called three-person team, these two coincidences seem far-fetched, but there are still many coincidences that follow .
2. A major event of the same nature occurred in the life trajectory of the two people-the village being slaughtered
Asin’s village was regarded as a victim of politics. By coincidence, Yongxin’s village was also regarded as a victim of politics. The whole village was turned into zombies to deal with Japanese pirates. Someone might say that there were many such things in that era. Very, indeed, but this is not reality. This is a TV series, and the event must serve the plot after all, so I think this is implying the similarity between the two.
3. A Xin's bowing skills, Yongxin's spear skills training
How similar these two people are. They are both long-range masters, melee masters, and solitary travellers. This is the fourth coincidence.
4. Yongxin showed naturalness and seriousness when facing Dan'er (the apprentice who was eaten in the first season) body wounds.
As a tiger hunter, distinguishing tiger feces, footprints, and tooth marks should be a must. I haven’t been a hunter and I’m not sure. Yongxin can distinguish between beast tooth marks and human tooth marks, and the camera was still pulling at the time. The audience at so close recognized that it was a bite. It is impossible for Yongxin not to know it, and to cook it again. There is definitely a big problem in it. After the outbreak of the plague in the hospital, Yongxin is also surprised that it is calm. Especially after the old doctor rushed in, Yongxin grabbed the doctor girl who wanted to take care of her, and signaled that the doctor had been bitten. This section was the most incredible. Imagine if you have never seen any zombies or heard of this stuff, how do you know that you will be infected if you are bitten? Will you become a tiger if you are bitten by a tiger? Impossible, this can only mean that he has seen it, and the two were talking in the warehouse at the time. Yongxin and the doctor girl didn’t pay attention to the outside situation at all, and saw the process of being bitten into mutation. How did he know the bite would happen? It has changed, so Yongxin is listed as a major suspect here. From cooking Daner to feeding patients to calming down after the outbreak, don’t you think it’s strange?
5. Asin and Yongxin may have exchanged
At the end of the series, we also saw that Ashin ran to the old doctor in the hospital, the old doctor who gave the king the life and death in the first season, and took Dan'er back to the hospital. Ashin personally confirmed and told the old doctor that this purple herb can resurrect the dead, but it will make them bloodthirsty, and then there will be the story of the first season and the second season, whether there is a big date in the middle (long time span) We don't know. I think Ashin may have contacted Yongxin during the period or before looking for an old doctor.
6. It is impossible to overthrow the entire country with Ashin alone
We know that Ashin wants to overthrow the entire country and kill all lives in this land. But only one person cannot shake the foundation of the country, so Ashin will naturally recruit people. Then, she is most likely to recruit Yongxin, who has the same enemies as her own, and arranges Yongxin. Into the Tiger Catch Army, after all, there are tigers in Ashin’s TV series. This has to be reminiscent of the Tiger Catch Army that Yongxin once belonged to in the first season. So here is a small brain hole. As for why Yongxin is the last He looks like a good person. It is very possible that after Yongxin has experienced so many things, such as witnessing the plight of the people, witnessing the true feelings between people, suddenly his conscience changes. After all, Yongxin's original intention was to avenge the court, it was the court who killed his village. But he found that the disaster had affected the people across the country, and made him feel compassionate, so he joined the anti-epidemic team, and in turn dealt with the zombies and helped the son. These can be seen from the clip in the first season where Yongxin desperately tried to save the woman upstairs but ultimately failed. His dissatisfaction and grief were vividly expressed by the actors.
7. Digression, the man in the cesspool who looks very sinister
At the end of the second season, the dungpit man became an attendant by the little emperor, and finally came to him when the prince was asleep. The camera cut to the parasites on the prince's face, and the dungpit man smiled evilly.
Assuming 1-6 is true, Yongxin is Ashin’s person, then this cesspit man may also be Ashin’s person, but he was not Ashin’s person when he drilled the cesspit, or he already was. This is hard to say, after all It has been a long time from the time the son saved the country to when the bodyguard son became the emperor, and was recruited during the period. Ashin may have accepted the lesson of launching the plague from the bottom but failed. He planned to start at both ends, triggering the plague from the highest level of the court and the lower level, forming a situation where the countryside encircles the city and the city center breaks through the city.
Concluding remark: All of these are personal insights, you can just take a look
