Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty 2 唐朝诡事录之西行 Episode 22

Just as everyone was tensing up and preparing to deal with the unknown intruder, Lu Lingfeng's voice unexpectedly sounded, and everyone's hearts dropped, and their faces looked happy. Pei Xijun was even more excited and hugged Lu Lingfeng tightly, making him stunned for a moment. Seeing this, Su Wuming and Yingtao tacitly urged Lu Lingfeng to cook in a joking tone, leaving time for them to be alone. Lu Lingfeng comforted Pei Xijun gently, and the atmosphere was warm. On the other side, Linghu Shuo secretly reported to his master that Yuan He wanted to usurp the throne, but emphasized that Lu Lingfeng was trustworthy and was even willing to guarantee it with his life.

Linghu Shuo firmly stated to everyone that Lu Lingfeng was by no means a spy sent by the imperial court, and he believed deeply in Lu Lingfeng's loyalty and ability. In order to prove this point, Linghu Shuo made an agreement with Lu Lingfeng that the key drawings must be obtained within three days, otherwise he would have his own countermeasures. At the same time, Lao Fei was full of praise for Lu Lingfeng's craftsmanship and praised the delicious food he cooked.

Su Wuming discovered an astonishing secret while flipping through the files - there was a granddaughter who survived the disaster in the Taiyin Society, and her surname was Song. After some deliberation, he and Yingying had already made a guess in their minds that this woman might be Song Ami, but due to the lack of conclusive evidence, they chose to remain silent.

On the other side, Linghu Shuo quietly visited Song Ami. There seemed to be an unknown past between the two, and there was a hint of intimacy in their behavior. Linghu Shuo revealed the current situation to Song Ami and believed that it would be a great benefit for a good general to come with the map, but Song Ami said that he knew nothing about it.

At this time, Ma Meng came with the intention of arresting Lu Lingfeng, but unexpectedly encountered Lu Lingfeng's strong threat. Under Lu Lingfeng's pressure, Ma Meng had to give way, and behind this scene was actually the tacit understanding and plan that the two had already reached. Not only did Ma Meng fail to capture Lu Lingfeng as he wished, but he also took the initiative to return the tongue relic and promised to help Lu Lingfeng. Seeing this, Su Wuming took the opportunity to borrow manpower from Ma Meng to investigate the matter of the deceased Long Fa, and Ma Meng agreed generously.

Ma Meng came to the governor's house with great ambition and claimed that the curling stone in his hand was a treasure he had carefully prepared. In this way, he won the governor's trust and was given command of heavy troops. He was ordered to go up the mountain to encircle Taiyinhui. This move undoubtedly made the situation more tense.

Su Wuming's sudden plan to visit the brothel made Cherry on the side very unhappy when she heard about it, but she stubbornly decided to follow him and vowed to protect Su Wuming. On the other side, the governor's desire for the half relic almost reached the point of madness. He secretly instructed Tian Chou to act secretly at all costs in order to achieve his goal.

However, Tian Chou's loyalty did not seem to be what the governor thought. He quickly leaked the news that Lu Lingfeng had drawn up a military plan. This move made Linghu Shuo deeply shocked and remorseful. He realized that he had mistrusted others, causing Taiyin to fall into an unprecedented crisis. Linghu Shuo decided to take this as his fault, apologize to everyone, and find a way to make amends.

At the same time, Master Wuliang faced the enemy in front of him, with complex emotions surging in his heart. He originally wanted to kill this person, but then he thought about it, it was this person who promoted the Taiyin Society's glory today. In the end, he suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and recalled all the interactions he had with the other party. After Linghu Shuo learned that Duan Gui was Wu Liang's master, he was surprised and wanted to become his disciple. Wuliang saw this crisis as an opportunity and decided to use it to attack Hanzhou and spread rumors to confuse his opponents.

After Lu Sian learned about the governor's conspiracy, he felt mixed emotions. He understood that he had been used, but he sighed helplessly. He took out the gold coins he received, showed them to Su Wuming and others, and revealed that these gold coins were bribes sent to him shortly after arriving in Hanzhou. He laughed at himself and said that if he had exposed the governor in the first place, it might have caused greater turmoil and impact. Therefore, he chose to be patient and silent.

Su Wuming fully understood Lu Sian's difficulties and gave him a detailed analysis of the Taiyin Society's current strength and status that should not be underestimated. Later, Su Wuming went to visit Song Ami. Song Ami mistook Linghu Shuo for not leaving at first and looked impatient. When she opened the door and saw Su Wuming, she was slightly flustered and hurriedly closed the door. Su Wuming insisted on knocking on the door, but Song Ami had no choice but to open the door again to greet him.
