The Wind Blows From Longxi (Feng Qi Long Xi / 风起陇西 )

I have the design of the crossbow.

Nice to finally meet you.

Who are you?

Baidi.

Zhulong.

I, Gao Tangbing,

lost.

You lost.

Is that it?

This isn't over.

You'll wish for a quick death!

Does this hurt?

Does it?

Clerk Feng!

Clerk Feng,

bad news!

What's wrong?

You said to keep you updated, so...

Get to the point.

Wei's Qingping Plan worked.

The design of the crossbow

was stolen from Military Technology last night.

How did they break in

amidst tight security?

Last night,

Commandant Qiao Jun

caught Xun Xu there

at Mount Dingjun

with a permit

you signed.

What?

Sun Ling is already on it.

Go there now yourself

and get Xun Xu back

from Military Technology

at all costs.

No one shall interrogate him except for us.

Got it. I'm going.

Hold on.

Guards there won't let him go easily.

I'll write them a note.

Why would he even be there?

Maybe

he is an accomplice.

Even so, that's our internal affair.

The Agency will deal with it.

Yes, sir.

Baidi?

Clerk,

I've got the design of the crossbow.

It's secure.

Yes or no?

Say it!

Stop!

I said stop!

Xun... Xun Xu, say something!

He must know something

but based on what we've seen in the Agency,

he won't cave in to torture.

Enough about your agency!

Mount Dingjun is maximum security!

Without Xun Xu's help from the inside,

they couldn't have grabbed the design!

He colluded with Wuxian Sect...

Speak!

And brought this upon himself!

We don't know the truth yet.

If you beat him to death,

we'll never know.

I...

The design is gone.

Generals Wei and Zhang will receive the news soon.

Back off!

One hour!

That's all I've got.

If he doesn't start talking,

they'll chop off my head.

Then someone else will have to

get the design back.

Qiao Jun,

I understand that,

but he's one of us.

You can't...

You understand nothing!

Stop pushing!

Stop it...

Report!

Don't move!

What's wrong?

Chief Yin of Siwencao Intelligence is outside.

See?

What did I say?

Clerk Feng

wouldn't turn his back to Xun Xu.

Has he confessed?

Say it!

Speak!

Not yet.

Whisk him away.

Let no one from the Agency in!

Yes, sir!

You...

But...

I...

Step back!

Answer it!

I understand

but General Li...

I'm taking orders from

Generals Wei and Zhang.

What now?

I said no!

It's Clerk Feng.

Clerk Feng,

I'm armored

and unable to bow.

I hope you don't mind.

I'm here to bring Xun Xu back.

But General Wei forbids...

Xun Xu is dying, Feng Ying!

Chen Gong, give it to him.

The design of the crossbow

has never been in Wei's hand.

What...

What's going on?

In brief,

we were infiltrated by a Wei spy, Zhulong.

To seize him,

Chief Xun of Internal Affairs

and this young man,

our spy in Wei,

worked from both sides.

We thwarted the Qingping Plan

and captured Zhulong.

He's caught?

Yes.

That's great!

Is it the original?

Absolutely.

The serial number matches. Thank heavens!

Can I see Chief Xun now?

Yes. Yes, of course!

Let's go!

Move! Move!

Open it! Open it!

Clerk Feng,

gentlemen, give us a minute.

Let Chief Xun freshen up before coming.

Look what you've done!

I knew

he didn't do it,

but you insisted on beating him up.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I was simply... following orders.

Be patient.

Is Chief Xun ready?

Uh... almost.

He'll be out soon.

Clerk Feng,

had Chief Xun told us the truth,

we wouldn't have to be rough.

Why didn't he?

Finishing the Qingping Plan was our only chance

to seize Zhulong.

Even if one word got out,

that'd ruin everything.

Commandant Qiao,

do you have any idea

of the price we had to pay?

Clerk Feng,

one moment, please.

He'll be right out.

Who are you?

Xun Xu!

Xun Xu.

Xun Xu.

Xun Xu.

Xun Xu!

Chen Gong...

Is it done?

It is.

We caught Zhulong.

Finally.

I thought

we wouldn't meet again...

Stretcher!

Stretcher!

Go, go, go!

Xun Xu!

Xun Xu!

Hurry!

Where is it?

What was Xun Xu thinking?

He shouldn't have taken

such a risk alone.

Agreed.

Had he told Feng Ying about it,

we wouldn't have been in such a tough spot.

How could he?

Had it leaked,
