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

General,

a secret messenger sent by Leader Huang Yu has arrived.

Get him in.

Yes, sir.

Greetings, Inspector Guo, Governor Guo.

No need of civility.

Any messages from Leader Huang?

He asked you to rest assured

and said everything is under your control.

Good.

You must be exhausted.

Go get some rest.

Thank you, sir.

Chen Gong

didn't let me down.

Marvelous.

Under the disguise as the invasion of the Wu Army,

Li Yan had the army provisions sent to Jiangzhou.

Then Zhuge Liang will only receive the first batch of army provisions.

They are enough

for his army for just one month.

His backup will be cut.

Zhulong is

doing a good job.

When Huang Yu takes action in the north of Sanguan Pass,

Zhuge Liang may not even receive

this batch of army provisions.

Now, Chen Gong holds immense power

in Siwencao Intelligence.

Li Yan succumbs to us, too.

Qingping Plan is

going more smoothly than we imagined.

Even so, we still mustn't be careless.

Got it.

Come.

Send a report to Hao Zhao immediately,

ask him to defend Chencang County for a month.

Within a month,

if he loses the county,

he'll die.

If he holds it for over a month,

I'll undertake all the responsibility.

Yes, sir.

Throughout the whole night,

I was thinking of everything about Chen Gong.

It's really weird.

Chief Xun,

Huang Yu was detected at the checkpoint of Xixiang.

Are you sure?

Yes.

The commandant at the checkpoint saw Huang Yu.

Huang Yu attacks the checkpoint of Xixiang at this time.

What is he up to?

After he destroyed the checkpoint,

he led his men to Xixiang.

Did you report it to Clerk Chen?

After Clerk Chen was informed,

he headed for Xixiang immediately.

Alright. I got it.

Go.

Clerk Chen, at last.

I thought you wouldn't come.

What?

General Guo Huai

still doesn't trust me?

Shoot Xun Xu

with this poisonous arrow

and he will not live.

No problem.

I'll make my bones.

Don't worry, Clerk Chen.

When Xun Xu is killed here,

you can shift the blame on my sect.

There he is.

Clerk Chen, it's your showtime.

Clerk Chen is your sworn brother.

And he loves Di Yue.

His feelings are true.

What makes you think he's fishy?

I don't know.

I just feel

that I can hardly understand Chen Gong.

Under such circumstances,

don't give it another thought.

Make your decision.

Enemy attack!

Chief Xun!

Chief Xun!

Good shot, Chen Gong.

Kill!

All of them!

Kill!

Go! Hurry!

Hurry!

Gee!

Gee!

Gee!

Chief Xun.

It's time that I sacrifice for our state.

I'm not able to bury you properly.

Chief Xun,

I'll hide you here

to avoid humiliation by the enemy.

We kept searching the place

that Pei Xu indicated,

but we didn't find Xun Xu.

Clerk Chen.

Did Pei Xu say

why Xun Xu went to the suburb of Xixiang?

He said they were informed

that Huang Yu was detected

in the suburb of Xixiang.

Then Xun Xu thought Huang Yu's sudden appearance

may have something to do with Gao Tangbing's death

and Clerk Feng's arrest.

So, he hurried there

to investigate.

I was informed of that, too.

Then I went there before Xun Xu.

During the Northern Expedition,

we've got a lot of work to do.

But the Internal Affairs Department wasn't asked to investigate the case.

Why did Xun Xu

go there

without reporting it first?

I asked Pei Xu about it.

He said he wasn't sure.

After all, he couldn't ask too much

about Xun Xu's thoughts.

How is Pei Xu now?

He's badly wounded.

But,

he will survive.

A lot of accidents have happened lately.

Chief Yin,

what do you think?

It doesn't matter

what I think.

Now, I'm quite exhausted.

Chief Yin,

please speak without reserve.

It's said

that Clerk Feng is a Wei spy.

But I don't believe it.

Is there any evidence?

Siwencao Intelligence

was founded by Clerk Feng.

Never would he

do anything to hurt our agency.

What about Xun Xu?

Xun Xu went to the suburb of Xixiang without a reason.

What do you

think of that?

As far as I see,

Xun Xu hurried to Xixiang not only

because Huang Yu appeared there.

There must be another reason.

Chief Yin, sounds like you know Xun Xu very well.

Although we may not agree on some things

that Xun Xu usually does.

But I think

his talent and wisdom

are fine.

By the way,

when I talked to Pei Xu,

I felt that he was keeping something

from me.

Alright.

I got it.

Thank you, Chief Yin.

Let's call it a day.

If you want anything, let me know.

Thank you.

Have I made myself clear?

Yes.

Leave.

Yes, sir.

The Prime Minister fails to take Chencang County after a long while.

His troops are struck along Chencang Road.

General, I'm afraid before you take action,

he may order a retreat

within ten days.

You're underestimating him.

Prime Minister Zhuge

has never easily given in

since he followed the late emperor

in Nanyang.

The Wei Army has famous generals

including Sima Yi, Cao Zhen, and Guo Huai.

It's by no means easy for the Prime Minister

to conquer Chang'an.

Zhuge Liang

doesn't want to conquer Chang'an.

As long as

he takes down Tianshui

or Shanggui in Longxi,

the morale of his troops will be greatly boosted.

Once the news of victory is sent back to Chengdu,

some officials will offer advice to His Majesty.

His Majesty is never decisive.
