Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty II To the West Episode 20

Officers chess play

Ami’s husband is a cowardly brute. No wonder she seeks help from any quarter. I am hoping the writer lets us see his end before this arc is through. XiJun has offered her hope. She just needs to live long enough to get the divorce. The blacksmith is a very brave man. I want to see his sword become a top weapon and his name famous. He chooses to defend the Tang. At present, I am not sure their royalty deserves it. This is what makes Lu’s chess move believable. He is the perfect soldier and judge and still repudiated by the very royal he has defended. When I thought crown prince was all kind to his aunt, she correctly saw it for the farce it was. This has a fine line for Lu. He is the son of one and the servant of the other and neither side will ever trust him completely. This gives him a very believable and even true account of why feasible for him to be interested in Taiyin sect. I like this version of him much better than last season. He is coming into his own and not letting Su define him, while still wisely choosing his counsel. His stoic stance as he waits for the weapons to come at him is cool to watch. I hate that they netted him in a trap like that but admire his courage to not appear weak even if he gets buried alive. His goal is to get to the Taiyin leader. It was interesting that Fei linked that moment of fear in the net when he thought he would die on the spot. It was also very sly of YingTao to hide them in the well. I lover her character the best so far. XiJun is also coming in handy with subterfuge as well as her drawings. They still are an investigative marvel. The one piece of luck they did have is that the assassins were so intent on finding them there, that when they saw a set up they never considered to search for anything. They didn’t have time to hide the order and tongue gem well so those could have been found in the chaos. This Taiyin group has strength, but only a few are really intelligent. The others are more like bullies. 😝 I want to see Lu get out of this mess and justice for Ami.
