Chapter Five: The Dao of Strategy
Manage episode 386863882 series 3530325
Guided by the ancient mysterious precepts of the Master of Demon Valley, Shijie and her Daoist students merge with the community to eliminate a malicious and powerful official.
At the same time, they design a delicate strategy to save Shijie’s husband from harm by this tyrant, a strategy that hinges on Xiaoyao keeping his mouth shut.
SHOW NOTES:
Xiaoyao Xingzhe, the self-styled carefree pilgrim, has lived and worked all over the world, having crossed the Gobi in a decrepit jeep, lived with a solitary monk in the mountains of Korea, dined with the family of the last emperor of China, and helped police with their enquiries in Amarillo, Texas.
