Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty Episode 5

Here comes the bride

Sheriff Su arranges with magistrate Pei to have his daughter go through with a ghost marriage to her general. They think this will keep her from harming herself. The sheriff also pledged with his life that nothing would happen to her. Lady ShiYi and magistrate Yuan had other ideas. They made chang’an tea with the western magic grass and specific type blood. This quality was found most often in the young brides so that was why they were the target. Sheriff Su offered himself instead since he was an exception to the rule. General Lu shows up to save the day until demonic guards awakened. Why they let her blow that damn whistle instead of just whacking her is beyond me. They just all stood around and watched her call them.😝The deputies are improving but they are still not imperial soldiers. The fight scene was good and the general got to show off his throwing power as he protected XiJun from getting killed. Lady ShiYi snuck out and right when everything seem headed for a decent resolution, the lead General comes in to imprison them. So is he deceived or corrupt? Guess we will find out next episode. Chicken Fei is quite useful in a fight 😂 He is good at throwing weapons and other items to assist. He is also acquainted with all the tunnels. He hides when the lead general show up, but I see him helping with a prison break or at the least getting them information. Yuan had quite the ego.He was royalty but he he was a petty man that plotted revenge in a cowardly way. 😝 This ends the mystery of the brides but where does lead general fit in the scheme of things?
