#dark comedy about Geng foiling murder attempts while Ouyang fumes about the army wanting to rest

[thelonghairedone]

The thing about Wang Baoxiang including Ouyang killing the Khan in his plans to become emperor, is that also depends on Ouyang living long enough to accomplish that.

Which given Ouyang's uh...less that stellar social skills/ lack regarding anyone else's feelings on his revenge quest, he is kind of lucky that Ouyang was not poisoned to death or died by "friendly fire" by one of his own men before that ever came to pass.

(Granted he could have came up with a different method of assassination but still....)

Like honestly, given the way Ouyang was acting at the beginning of HWDTW, it is honestly surprising it took that long for him to be betrayed.

Was like Geng running interference behind the scene to make sure Ouyang killed before his time and was just imprisoned and not executed?

Wang Baoxiang gets a message report saying "So General Ouyang has started flaying deserters alive....." and has regrets about committing to this particular plan
