> Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Recap
Su Wuming felt that Lu Lingfeng's disappearance was urgent and decided to split up to find out the truth. He ordered Lao Fei to wait in place to prevent any mishaps; at the same time, he dispatched Ying Tao into the marketplace to secretly collect information about the Taiyin Society. Afterward, he personally visited Governor Ma with Pei Xijun, hoping to obtain clues from official channels.
At first, Governor Ma was quite cold towards their visit, but upon learning about the "Tongue Relic," his attitude changed dramatically, and he eagerly wanted to know more. Su Wuming seized the opportunity to reveal that Lu Lingfeng was in the hands of the Taiyin Society and that the Tongue Relic was also on him. His words revealed his concern for Lu Lingfeng's safety, while also cleverly utilizing Governor Ma's curiosity, paving the way for subsequent investigations.
Pei Zhijie was extremely anxious and hurriedly reported to Governor Ma the news that Lu Lingfeng had fallen into the hands of the Taiyin Society, pleading for immediate action to rescue him. Upon hearing this, Governor Ma's expression became serious, realizing that the connection to the Taiyin Society was no small matter. He then summoned Ma Meng and Tian Chou to discuss countermeasures.
Ma Meng recognized Su Wuming immediately upon seeing him and was startled to realize that the tall man was actually Lu Lingfeng. Su Wuming smiled and said that Ma Meng was being overly cautious. Upon learning of the need to rescue Lu Lingfeng, Ma Meng eagerly requested troops. The Governor also worried that Lu Lingfeng might be lured by the enemy, so he ordered Tian Chou to prepare to attack the Taiyin Society, vowing to eradicate it.
Su Wuming gazed at Tian Chou and suddenly felt that his face seemed familiar, recalling that they might have met when he first entered the city. He turned to ask the Governor whether Tian Chou had ever worn a beard, and the atmosphere became subtle. At the same time, Linghu Shuo's harsh treatment of Lu Lingfeng also aroused the indignation of those present, with some even harboring murderous intentions.
Lu Lingfeng remained calm and composed, stating that he longed to meet the Society Master and had heard of the Taiyin Society long ago, showing extraordinary composure. Ma Meng also rushed over and expressed suspicion about Lu Lingfeng's motives, believing he must have ill intentions. Lu Lingfeng displayed resilience and wisdom in the complex situation. He proactively offered to assist Linghu Shuo in rescuing his brother, but was met with Linghu Shuo's refusal.
Linghu Shuo's smile revealed a deeper meaning; he seemed to have his own plans and wished to put Luo Qian through some hardship. Luo Qian arrived in a hurry and reported to Yuan He, the Taiyin Society's Yuan commander, that Linghu Shuo seemed to have rebellious intentions, which heightened Yuan He's vigilance, believing it was necessary to prevent trouble before it happened. Meanwhile, Master Wuliang praised an arrow meticulously carved from beast bone.
Yuan He then revealed his profound considerations for the future of the Taiyin Society, hoping to use Master Wuliang's power to curb Linghu Shuo's actions. However, Linghu Shuo confidently declared that the power structure of Hanzhou was about to undergo change, hinting that his plan was steadily advancing. Lu Lingfeng keenly sensed Linghu Shuo's distrust, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he delved deeper into the secrets of the Taiyin Society.
He learned that the Taiyin Society had only existed for three years but was already deeply entrenched, with a strict hierarchy and a mysterious Society Master. Lu Lingfeng longed to gradually approach the core of this mysterious organization through his own efforts. However, a sudden meeting broke the tranquility. The Society Master personally appeared, although masked and difficult to discern, his words revealed appreciation for Lu Lingfeng's talent and requested him to draw a military map.
Lu Lingfeng felt suspicious and tried to stall for time, but unexpectedly, this action angered Yuan He, who was impersonating the Society Master, and his confidant Luo Qian. A sudden turn of events caught Lu Lingfeng off guard; he was thrown into a deep hole, and Linghu Shuo was also implicated due to misunderstanding that Lu Lingfeng had betrayed him, falling into the trap together.
In despair, the two tried to prove their innocence, but seemed to be caught in a deeper crisis. Linghu Shuo revealed to Lu Lingfeng that they would become the prey of the Sky-Piercing Rhino, and even the fierce tiger would be no exception. After the two worked together to repel the fierce tiger, Linghu Shuo was stunned to find that he had fallen into Lu Lingfeng's trap.
It turned out that Lu Lingfeng deliberately dragged him down because he knew the escape route. Yuan He had coveted the position of Society Master for a long time, and Luo Qian closely followed him. Only Lu Si'an stayed out of it, yet enjoyed the favor of the Taiyin Society. Su Wuming insisted on meeting Lu Si'an.
When entering through the back door, he happened to encounter someone delivering money, which displeased Lu Si'an, who believed Su Wuming had cut off his financial path. Su Wuming firmly believed that Lu Si'an was not such a petty person and suggested that everyone wait for good news. At this moment, uninvited guests broke in, and Ying Tao and others quickly became vigilant.
