I can understand why, but i'm still disappointed they didn't show the eyes in the bags or the crucified soldiers.

It was intense as always. The episode focused on side characters rather than the arrow-proof protagonist this time. I didn't imagine Genpo would die so soon. His death was so sudden. Kanki's strategy reminded me of LoGH.

Aww, I wanted to see that old man's head fly!
This doesn't do the name of Huan Ji the Beheader any justice.
Great episode nevertheless.

Old man Xuan Feng's plan totally backfired to him. And I was dying to see the content of the bag. Wonder if it was shown in the manga.. Huan Ji is one sneaky bastard though and I like it.

Yep, it was! They were eyeballs! The corpses in the crucifixes were all shown in the manga too and they were all screwed up!

The battle between the strategist and the tactician was shorter than I thought it would be but Xuan Feng's time to shine had already come.

It's funny that Xuan Feng felt he had the right to criticize Huan Ji's battle tactics.

That was fucking awesome. We all knew it was coming but it was still brilliant. Xuan Feng's criticism was nothing more than a deflection of the fact he had been out-maneuvered. Dirty or not, Huan Ji still saw through his strategy.

This is why I love Kingdom for its story. Last week we saw how daunting Xuan Feng is, and(at least I was) made to think we'd see more of him later on against Xin and Ben. And then bam, taken out an episode later. Huge step in this war. God I love this shit.

Looks like next episode is gonna get back to our trio of 1000 man generals, but I hope we get to see some Jiang Yan vs Wang Jian.

Wow! The end of this episode took me completely by surprise!

Even though Xuan Feng is the enemy I felt a bit sorry for him, empathy even. When he noticed the blood and asked that very direct question of the messengers I could practically imagine the sickening realization that must have entered his mind. He certainly put up a good front whether or not he believed he could get out of the situation.

I only wonder why he was so extremely cautious on the battlefield yet hardly protected at this battle headquarters... Still, excellent story and twist.

He pretty much sent everything he had at Huan Ji's headquarters to take advantage of Huan Ji's scattered forces. Plus, I'm sure he had some defenses set around the perimeter but it never occurred to him that the enemy would resort to a sneak attack dressed in disguise.

The episode was very good, but Huan Ji was no careless. A little too much confidence and arrogance for this is two character.

Shit, episode was intense. Didn't expect Xuan Feng to die so quickly, totally surprised me. I thought Huan Ji might've been the one to lose the battle or at least meet his match. This is why I love Kingdom, war is unpredictable at times.
Now I wanna see what Wang Jian can do.

Ahhh I thought they were soldier's heads given the 'beheader' reference. Showing the eyeballs or telling the viewer what was in the bags would have certainly darkened the tone and made more sense. Ah well, still creepy enough, just wish they didn't downplay (censor?) some of this so much :(

If you listen carefully to when the first bag was emptied, you'll hear the distinct sound of a liquid substance, i first assumed it was the slurping sound of intestines but eyeballs make more sense.

When I first saw the bags I thought is was the heads. Then when I heard the sound and I thought it was some "blended human" (mixture of the meat, blood and intestine etc.). But I thought that wouldn't be possible, and I ended up thinking it was just blood since I couldn't think of anything else. I guess eyeballs really makes more sense.

PS: I was eating while watching this episode. I immediately stop chewing despite having food in my mouth, preparing for any gory scenes being shown. So some part of me was glad that it didn't show however the other part of me wished that it was shown..

Huan Ji aka The Beheader' is disgusting. Im assuming it was heads in that bag but who knows. It kind of made a sploosh noise. Yuck.

The ending scene makes me hope Meng Ao gets to fight Lian Po or at least lay the finishing blow :)

I'm sorry dirty tactics?
It's still called tactics for some reasons no matter how dirty they are
Also he's dead because of that.. that's means that old man is lower than dirty :P

I must admit though.. That was a bit cool
Especially when he made Lian Po angry
Though I don't understand why Wei's HQ have only a tiny bit of soldiers xD

this episode was boring and it sucked. i aged 30 years waiting for it to end. i didn't watch this series to see some random guy kill an annoying boomer. worst episode of the series yet. this arc so far has been the most boring, useless, aggravating thing since the thing began. even more so than young shin's astronomically annoying voice. i had the patience to wait through three episodes of flashbacks for this NONSENSE?!
