> Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Recap
Sima Liang heard Lu Lingfeng mention Yunding Immortal Street as protection, and couldn't help but sneer, stating directly that he had long intended to destroy the place. Just then, Suo Long entered and informed Lu Lingfeng that he had comforted Pei Xijun and the others, telling him to recuperate in peace.
Sima Liang immediately pointed to Suo Long, claiming that it was he who revealed Lu Lingfeng's whereabouts, allowing him to go to Yunding Immortal Street, and took the opportunity to praise Lu Lingfeng's bravery in overcoming the odds. Lu Lingfeng sharply sensed the sarcasm in Sima Liang's words.
Regarding Sima Liang's praise for his saber, he responded calmly, emphasizing that this saber was forged by the common people, symbolizing that one must always bear the welfare of the populace in mind. Suo Long revealed a surprising piece of news. He mentioned that Sima Liang had made similar remarks to Song Shang, regarding enticing invitations from Yunding Immortal Street, but Sima Liang did not agree.
Instead, he insisted that he opened the night market out of concern for the common people and swore that if anyone threatened them, he would be the first to bear the brunt. This further deepened Lu Lingfeng's suspicion about Song Shang's lies. He began to speculate on the true purpose of that fire – destroying key clues. At the same time, Sima Liang also frankly admitted that he did not know He Yulang's true identity.
Although he had tried to get information through a banquet, he gained nothing. Even more surprisingly, He Yulang was introduced by Zhao Lei. This information left Lu Lingfeng more confused and made him more deeply vigilant about the conspiracy behind it. Pei Xijun was deeply worried about Fei Jishi's safety, while Su Wuming, while observing the model of Yunding Immortal Street, discovered traces of its history.
He speculated that this mansion was at least twenty years old and had some subtle connection with the missing Lu Xianke. These clues converged, seemingly slowly unveiling an intricate mystery. As Song Shang poured wine for Huangpu Tan, Lu Lingfeng witnessed this scene and was consumed by rage. He was convinced that Song Shang had lied to and deceived him and immediately ordered his arrest.
Seeing this, Huangpu Tan resolutely refused Lu Lingfeng from joining and even threatened him with an imperial decree. The atmosphere immediately became tense. Lu Lingfeng returned with a heavy heart and frankly told Su Wuming that he did not want him involved in this matter. However, Su Wuming keenly sensed that Lu Lingfeng was acting strangely. When he pressed him, the two ended up arguing due to differing opinions. Su Wuming knew that Lu Lingfeng had something difficult to say.
When he left in anger, he left a remark, "Lu Lingfeng is useless," his words full of concern and helplessness for his friend. On the other side, Su Wuming decided to team up with Ying Tao to rescue Fei Jishi. He resolutely lay down in a coffin, vowing to save Fei Jishi at all costs. Upon learning of this, Pei Xijun was burning with anxiety and wanted to go for the rescue but was stopped by Sima Liang.
Sima Liang informed her in veiled language, hinting that Pei Xijun's greatest help would be to handle Huangpu Tan's banquet properly. Lu Lingfeng also comforted Pei Xijun from the side, emphasizing Sima Liang's reliability. Meanwhile, Ying Tao faced Qing Fu alone, unexpectedly being harassed by him. At the critical moment, Ying Tao decisively fought back, killed Qing Fu, and discovered traces of other victimized women.
On the other side, Sima Liang skillfully arranged a plan, attempting to build a bridge of communication between Huangpu Tan and Lu Lingfeng to ease the tension. Song Shang seized the opportunity to extensively praise Huangpu Tan's achievements, while Pei Xijun also bravely participated in the banquet, interacting with everyone. Lu Lingfeng even cleverly elevated Pei Xijun's status, forcing everyone to continue drinking. The scene appeared harmonious, but undercurrents were surging. Midnight arrived.
Ying Tao arranged for the humiliated women to assist in the investigation to delay the discovery of Qing Fu's body. Pei Xijun seized the opportunity of toasting, intending to get information from Huangpu Tan, and eventually made him drunk. Song Shang noticed something unusual and tried to use the opportunity to escape but was stopped by Lu Lingfeng in time. Sima Liang strongly demanded that Song Shang drink or face more severe consequences.
Song Shang reluctantly complied and was imprisoned after getting drunk. Sima Liang set up a plan (feigning one thing while doing another), entrusting his trusted guards to Lu Lingfeng for contingencies. Lu Lingfeng felt reluctant but could only comply. Meanwhile, Ying Tao sneaked into Yunding Immortal Street and caught sight of the dungeon where Fei Jishi was imprisoned. The situation became increasingly urgent.
