Blood River Episode 22

Prepping for WuShuang duel

The leader of WuShuang is getting his affairs in order. He plans on using his life to save the city. I do not completely get his loyalty to his first but not so bright disciple. He even wants the youth to be in his care. He is constantly at war with himself to do the right thing and his mentor sees this as his virtue. The owner of the gambling hall has intentions of rising in rank but so far is being held back. He wants to see WuShuang and the leader fall. I don’t know if he has a mastermind behind him or not but he is a thorn that doesn’t mind trouble. There has been an invitation for every martial artist that wants to see the show. It will make things crowded but hopefully keep things calmer about getting a coveted WuShuang token. Uncle Zhe and Doc Bai have arrived and Changhe has been dealing with swordsman hunting Muyu.

In small doses it is not fatal but this seems set to kill and part of a long arranged plan. Our team seems rather calm about everything. Muyu now has swapped the sword for his umbrella. Now waiting to see if she has just made them a small poison free barrier or is working on the whole city. She at least will get some help from Prince Langya that has arrived and noted it.
