> Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Recap
As everyone's nerves were taut, preparing to deal with the unknown intruders, Lu Lingfeng's voice unexpectedly sounded. The heavy stone in everyone's hearts dropped, and their faces showed joy. Pei Xijun was even more excited; she tightly embraced Lu Lingfeng, causing him to freeze for a moment. Seeing this, Su Wuming and Ying Tao tacitly urged Lu Lingfeng in a joking tone to go cook, leaving the two of them some time alone.
Lu Lingfeng gently comforted Pei Xijun, and the atmosphere was warm. On the other side, Linghu Shuo secretly reported to his master that Yuan He had intentions of usurpation, but he emphasized that Lu Lingfeng was trustworthy, even willing to vouch for him with his life. Linghu Shuo firmly stated to everyone that Lu Lingfeng was absolutely not a spy sent by the court. He deeply believed in Lu Lingfeng's loyalty and ability.
To prove this point, Linghu Shuo made an agreement with Lu Lingfeng that he must obtain the key drawing within three days, otherwise he would have his own countermeasures. Meanwhile, Lao Fei praised Lu Lingfeng's craftsmanship endlessly, commending the delicious dishes he cooked. As Su Wuming was reviewing the files, he discovered an astonishing secret – within the Taiyin Society, there was a granddaughter who had survived, and her surname was Song.
After some deliberation with Ying Tao, they had a guess in their hearts: this woman might be Song Ami. But lacking 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 their demeanor revealed a hint of intimacy.
Linghu Shuo revealed the current situation to Song Ami, believing that having a good general arrive with the map was a great advantage, but Song Ami said she knew nothing about it. At this moment, Ma Meng arrived with the intention of arresting Lu Lingfeng, but unexpectedly encountered Lu Lingfeng's strong threat. Under Lu Lingfeng's coercion, Ma Meng had no choice but to make way. Behind this scene was actually a tacit understanding and plan they had long reached.
Not only did Ma Meng fail to arrest Lu Lingfeng as planned, but he also voluntarily returned the Tongue Relic and promised to help Lu Lingfeng with his matters. Seeing this, Su Wuming seized the opportunity to borrow personnel from Ma Meng to investigate the matter of the deceased Long Fa, and Ma Meng readily agreed.
Ma Meng arrived at the Governor's mansion full of ambition, claiming that the ice pot in his hand was a treasure he had meticulously prepared. With this, he gained the Governor's trust and was given command of heavy troops, ordered to go up the mountain to encircle and suppress the Taiyin Society. This action undoubtedly made the situation more tense.
Su Wuming's sudden plan to visit a brothel greatly displeased Ying Tao, who was standing nearby, but she stubbornly decided to follow him, vowing to stay by Su Wuming's side and protect him. On the other side, the Governor's desire for that half relic had reached an almost frenzy level. He stopped at nothing, secretly instructing Tian Chou to act secretly in order to achieve his goal. However, Tian Chou's loyalty did not seem to be as the Governor expected.
He quickly leaked the news that Lu Lingfeng had already drawn the military map. This action left Linghu Shuo deeply shocked and self-reproachful. He realized that he had misplaced his trust in others, leading the Taiyin Society into an unprecedented crisis. Linghu Shuo decided to take this as his mistake, apologize to everyone, and seek a way to make amends. Meanwhile, facing the enemy before him, Master Wuliang's heart surged with complex emotions.
He had initially wanted to kill this person with his own hands, but upon second thought, it was precisely this person who had driven the Taiyin Society to its current glory. Ultimately, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and recalled their past interactions. After learning that Duan Gui was actually Master Wuliang's master, Linghu Shuo was surprised and even developed a desire to become his disciple.
Master Wuliang, however, saw this crisis as a turning point and decided to use it to attack Hanzhou and spread rumors to confuse their opponents. After learning of the Governor's conspiracy, Lu Si'an's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He understood that he had been used, but he also sighed helplessly.
He took out the gold coins he had received and showed them to Su Wuming and the others, revealing that these gold coins were a bribe sent to him shortly after he arrived in Hanzhou. He chuckled self-deprecatingly, saying that if he had exposed the Governor back then, it might have caused even greater turmoil and consequences. Therefore, he chose forbearance and silence.
Su Wuming understood Lu Si'an's difficulties well and analyzed the Taiyin Society's current powerful strength and its status, which should not be underestimated, in detail for him. Afterward, Su Wuming went to visit Song Ami. At first, Song Ami mistakenly thought Linghu Shuo hadn't left and showed impatience on her face. When she opened the door and saw it was Su Wuming, she appeared slightly flustered and hastily closed the door. Su Wuming persisted in knocking. Song Ami, having no choice, had to open the door again to welcome him.
