Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty Episode 32

Weapons from the sky

At the beginning of episode royals from different land are invited for a completion celebration of a 36 floor tower. The very top is a scenic view of the entire city. It is by invitation only to be seen. The blueprints have already been destroyed and all who had part of making the tower or knowing its secrets are invited to a special dedication. He seems like a royal who kills the architects to prevent anything copying or surpassing their structures. The minister so happy to be invited may find it not to his liking. For the first time in ages, a magic show will take place. They see the wooden bird in the sky and figure it’s part of the act. It has already dropped ads of Sass, a known murderer as well as magician. After all the kindness shown by her nephew, the princess plots to use Sass to kill the crown prince. She annoys me with her unnecessary ruthless behavior. Her official is pressing for Prince’s death. She commented that he’d been raised by his uncle and did he have something personal involved since he was so invested. XiJun is bored being home. Her father loves her but dislikes her commitment to Lu. He is the typical politician trying to figure out how to stay on the fence between the royals. Lu is given the talisman of the lead general to control the troops however he wants. However, this is an undercover assignment rather than an imperial position. He is told to find copies of a banned book that had opinions against Princess in it. They find Sass but in the chase the wood bird shows up and kills the minister of justice. Before there is even a memorial for him both royals offer candidates. As luck would have it Lu is recommended for the job and the princess approves. She also like XiJun . Sass escaped but a young beggar saw what happened and gives XiJun info about Sass’ portrait. Lu and XiChun worked out so the boy would stay with XiJun and be a replacement for XueHuan. No news of Yingtao or Fei yet. Seems our group really is separated while in Chang’an.
