Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Episode 10

Assassins and robbers and seal oh my!

In a flashback Su WuMing overhears an official discussing three names in Shiyang. They decide to look for the coroner named Dugu and he is reading from the book of life and death. This is why Su just happened to be at the right place at the right time for Dugu events. He and magistrate Dugu head for shop to see which suspect lied. When Su opens the door he said a surprised ‘he is the one that lied?’ And then assassins start firing at them. This is broken up by Lu and YingTao. After a brief reacquaintance Lu introduces himself to the group and lets them know he will be an obstacle. The challenge is accepted. Yingtao takes a dart for Su and Su takes a dart after that. Dugu was grazed but they don’t find that out til poison starts working on him. Imperial guards are in the mix,but it is unknown who used the poison weapons. Fei once again shows up just in time to take care of them all. We see the dreams of the wounded and once again the manic maneuvers of Dugu with his ‘wife’.😝 Su has figured out a body is hid in porcelain so Fei and XiJun head to shop to tell Lu. Lu has already figured this out and sets off traps to check out the statues. Two bodies are found. One the son of a coroner and the other the brother of the grave robber. The mother coroner is called to begin autopsies on the bodies. Fei is chuckling from sidelines speculating that Su and Lu are competing to solve case first. I am not liking this step backwards for them or the choice to have Dugu be involved in all three seasons. This is one arc choice that boggles me.😝
