Mystic Nine Episode 29

Deceiving the Ministry of War

It all comes down to Wu pulling off deception to Ministry of War. He has to take out mystic nine leaders and make them believe it was for selfish motivations to gain leadership. He is so broken looking at the blood on his hands and hearing the mission in his head required for success. 😔😭This is a harsh task because he is newest member and least receptive of the ends justifying the means thinking. This goes against his very soul to do the mission they ask of him. Wu has successfully gone viral in newspapers as the thug who took over mystic nine. Commander Lu is more than happy to show this in print to Zhang who is still mourning the loss of XiaoYu. They have spun quite a story the Gen Huo stole the seal and attempted a rebellion…as if…he was too cowardly to be that bold.😝 Lu gives XiaoYu Captain rank posthumously….so what? Like THAT was an aspiration XiaoYu had.😝 The new position of the Ministry war is that saving 3 by killing 6 could no longer apply seeing how many Wu managed to kill all by himself. Zhang is given the mission to take out all members and be given the world as a platform for strategizing rather than Changsha. He even brings up the old grudge between him and Wu and how that should make things so much easier for him. They should work well together considering their friendship. He is the Chinese version of Hatoyama and completely repugnant. Lu is slimier than Gen Huo and that takes some doing. 😝In a single day the world has changed as Zhang knew it. Wu has forced him to the henchman position with the only silver lining being that Gen Huo is dead. If Lu spoke truth. Lu gives Zhang three days to carry it out. The order making him special commissioner sits on his desk while Zhang studies the newspaper and hears his second report on the specifics of how Wu turned on the mystic nine. Seems he crippled Huo when he hugged her for support. Wu spared no one. It’s a lot to process. Zhang knew Xie was the mastermind and laments they didn’t let him save them. The scene with Wu and Zhang is so moving. Wu finally reveals that the kill six to save three was always a ruse. It was always kill eight to save one. Zhang was the only one that could save Changsha and keep the memory of the mystic nine. Wu is determined to make Zhang accept the truth and kill him to complete the ministry of war’s objective. Wu commits the last act of having the second killed so that Zhang’s hand will be forced to kill him. The smug smirk on Lu’s face reading the paper is so predictable and still so nauseating. He is pleased with the performance and wants a public execution for Wu at the Wu hour. Wu gains strength looking at his friend and strikes a pose for the cameras. His men take heart and rally one last time at dying together. Wu’s last request was for Zhang to send him on his way. Again the smirk on Lu’s pleased face was nauseating. There is the. A 20 year fast forward and a group of children are hearing the story of the mystic nine and demanding answers to the questions we have. The boy that wants the storyteller to change the ending. The storyteller likes the boys ending better.
