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

Once frozen,

you’ll be hit

for sure.

I am

Zhulong.

Surprise, surprise!

Strengthen the guard

against Wuxian Sect's sneak attacks.

Clerk Li is pondering on how to suppress bandits.

Don't disturb him.

Yes!

Report!

I have military intelligence

to report to Clerk Li!

Leader.

Thank God you had the foresight

to leave some secret passages.

It's just a pity

that the base camp you've run for years

will be destroyed.

Hanzhong

should have been part of the territory of the Wei State.

Wei

will not give up on us.

Leader.

You are a Wei's nail

put into the heart of West Shu.

You must keep holding on.

Leader.

The scout has checked the road ahead.

It's out of the Shu Army's encirclement.

Hurry!

You two keep probing the situation ahead.

Yes!

You, and you. Come with me.

Go.

Head for Qingfeng Ridge!

Let's go.

Look up.

You.

I didn't expect the obscure Wuxian Sect

to expand on such a scale.

You.

Take a close look at everyone

in case Huang Yu and their elders

be among the captives in disguise.

Yes.

General Hu Zhong.

Siwencao Intelligence's Clerk Li

was assassinated by Wuxian Sect's killer in the camp.

What?

Move it there.

Be careful.

You still maintain an elegant demeanor

under the Shu Army's siege.

I'm deeply impressed

by your spirit.

I've run Wuxian Sect for more than ten years.

Preparations have long been made for Shu's suppression.

Otherwise,

how could we survive to this day?

Mm.

But it's still a pity.

If Zhulong had sent us messages ahead of time,

with your skillful military tactics,

we could have prepared an ambush,

and we might have been able

to gather the Shu Army together and wipe them out.

Zhulong did send us messages.

He just didn't do it at the right time.

Chen Gong.

You're going to put yourself on the line three days later.

Have some good rest.

Zhulong sent a message with a pigeon.

Put it here, put it here.

You can leave.

Yes.

Leader.

You scared me.

I didn't expect you

to be so absorbed

in the ancient book of Wuxian Sect.

I noticed the disorderly books on the desk,

so I tidied them up for you.

Really?

Come on.

I think you want to know

what the secret letter says.

I've decoded the message.

See for yourself.

Leader.

Well...

That's how the situation is.

I did what I had to do.

There can be only one voice in the Agency.

I have to officiate at the funeral in order to capture Zhulong.

I know.

We have sacrificed too much.

If the infighting continues,

the Wei State will benefit in the end.

Alas!

Li Miao died tragically!

God shortened his life!

Our massive attack on Wuxian Sect

destroyed its lair,

but there were no tangible gains.

No one on the base camp's roster was caught.

That's not the reason

our army marched into Wuxian Sect

in the first place.

Anyway,

Wuxian Sect is a danger to the Shu State.

We should draw a clear line

between us and our enemies.

This is the bottom line.

Alas!

Hu Zhong just told me about the process.

Li Miao

was loyal and not afraid of death!

You set the fire

at Temple of God of Mountains, right?

Why do you say that?

Di Yue is an informer

you planted in Wuxian Sect three years ago.

You never told Li Miao about it, right?

That's because I don't trust him.

To prevent the destruction of both sides,

you determined

to warn Wuxian Sect.

Clerk Feng, where does your deduction leave me?

Doesn't that make me a traitor in the Agency?

I don't think Di Yue is important enough

for you to do that.

Once the operation is exposed,

you will be suspected as a Wei spy.

If you were only worried about Di Yue's safety,

you could tell us about her

to avoid hurting her.

Therefore, I think

you did that

for a reason.

If you must think in this way,

I'll have to take

what I heard as a story.

Really?

Baidi is not dead.

He assumed the identity of Mi Chong and infiltrated Wuxian Sect.

Is that true?

I never sent any messages to Wuxian Sect.

What you said is a misunderstanding.

Then I must be overthinking.

Your agreement to dispose of Li Miao in this way

does show your consideration

of the big picture.

Xun Xu, remember this,

no matter what misunderstanding there is between us,

you still saved my life.

I'm not an ungrateful man.

Clerk Feng, please don't say that.

I was just doing my job.

I did what I should do.

Set off!

Over these years,

how much information did you send to Siwencao Intelligence?

I don't understand

what you want me to say.

You lied to me.

Di Yi.

What do you take me for?

Just drop the act, will you?

Tell me.

I've been serving you with my whole heart.

I'm not a Shu spy.

Believe me.

Leader.

I'm not a Shu spy.

How could I be a Shu spy?

Tell me.

For the sake of the time we spent together,

I'll spare your life.

Leader Huang, trust me.

I'm not a Shu spy.

Believe me.

That's my girl.

I like your stubbornness.

I'm not a Shu spy.

Leader Huang, trust me.

Good!

You have

a hundred ways to die in Wuxian Sect.

You'll find one you like.

Xun Xu.

Xun Xu.

What did

Clerk Feng say to you?

I guess that's

what he is going to tell us soon.

Give me a tip.

He said

this case is closed.
