Episode 4

Si Wenchao went through a serious internal inspection and interrogation.Hu Zhong scrutinized everyone, including Xun Xu's friends Gao Tangbing and Feng Ying.Although Feng Ying has rich experience in counter-espionage warfare, he still cannot completely avoid Hu Zhong's suspicion.Because of Gao Tang Bingze's upright character and dislike of Li Yan's faction, he could only swallow his words under cross-examination.

Mi Chong's investigation in Tingsongyuan found nothing, but he firmly believed that the Shu Han wandering owl was still in Tianshui, so he turned the focus of the interrogation to the suspected personnel and the Shu soldier who was brought back to the Military Division.Chen Gong and Xun Xu discovered through conversation that their contact line Gu Zheng actually had a downline named Chidi, but no one in Siwen Cao knew this code name.This further confirmed their speculation that Zhulong held a senior position within Siwen Cao and used his authority to make up the codename Red Emperor for espionage activities.However, Gu Zheng was dead and could not be verified. The clues about the loss of Jieting and the failure of the Northern Expedition were once again interrupted, putting Chen Gong, the White Emperor, in a desperate situation.

Hu Zhong reported to Li Yan the conversation with Si Wen Cao's personnel, and suggested that Feng Ying did not adopt Yang Yi's suggestion to deal with Bai Di immediately to resolve the Jieting mystery case because of conflicts with Yang Yi.Li Yan decided to keep Feng Ying, but proposed to arrange for his own people to serve as deputies.Hu Zhong recommended Li Miao, who had been slandered by Yang Yijin and demoted to a commoner.Li Miao was resentful and eager to make suggestions for Li Yan to rectify Si Wencao.

Faced with a desperate situation, Chen Gong came up with a bold plan: kidnap Guo Gang, who knew Zhulong's whereabouts, and force him to tell the truth.Although Xun Xu thought this was just nonsense, Chen Gong was extremely serious.He took advantage of Guo Gang's fondness for strange skills and tricks, restored Gongshuzi's bamboo bird, and planned to use it to implement the plan.During Siwencao's internal personnel changes, Feng Ying was punished but not dismissed.Chen Gong told Guo Gang that the bamboo bird was finished, but Guo Gang's real purpose of restoring the bamboo bird was to go to the General Department of the Military Technology Department of the Shu State and cooperate with Zhulong Liyingwai to steal the latest repeater machine blueprints.Mi Chong volunteered to perform the mission with Feng Ying, and Guo Gang agreed but asked to protect Chen Gong's safety.

Chen Gong heard Guo Gang's trust in him in the dark, and his heart was filled with ups and downs.In order to deceive others, Guo Gang staged a scene in which a horse in the carriageway frightened the horse and feigned death to sacrifice his country.This played into the hands of Chen Gong and Xun Xu, because they planned to take this opportunity to meet Zhulong.Chen Gong also planned to kill Mi Chong and replace him in Shu, thus freeing himself from his identity as the White Emperor.At the same time, Xun Xu's mission will also be completed.What makes Chen Gong even more happy is that this time the person who meets them is Jiu Huang Yu, a taboo of the Five Immortals, and he can finally see his wife Zhai Yue again.

In the dead of night, Chen Gong could not fall asleep, recalling the scene when Xun Xu presided over the wedding when he married his wife.He looks forward to seeing his lover again.Mi Chong is also preparing his luggage for departure. He not only wants to protect Chen Gong, but also looks for evidence to reveal Chen Gong's identity as the White Emperor.This pair of incompatible enemies seemed extremely nervous on this quiet night.
