Episode 15

Gao Tangbing took advantage of the fact that the food defenders could not leave their posts without authorization, and led a small force to the assembly department with the intention of stealing the crossbow machine blueprints.However, his actions have long been seen through by Chen Gong.Chen Gong had been in ambush in the tree for a long time, jumped down and subdued Gao Tangbing, and successfully captured Zhulong.This incident attracted Feng Ying's attention. After he returned to Siwencao, he learned that Xun Xu had taken the customs clearance documents he issued to the General Department of the Military Technology Department, and the crossbow machine blueprints were stolen at this time.Feng Ying and Chen Gong acted quickly, went to the assembly department in person to explain the situation, and brought the injured Xun Xu back to Siwen Cao for treatment.

After interrogation, Chen Gong revealed the truth to Feng Ying and Hu Zhong: he and Xun Xu jointly set up a clever plan and successfully captured Zhulong.Yinji found a replica of the engraving of Bai Di's Secret Words from Gao Tangbing's residence, and the truth of the case was finally revealed.However, Gao Tangbing was well aware of Si Wencao's methods and insisted on only talking to Xun Xu.Xun Xu was seriously injured and was able to save his life after the diagnosis and treatment of Hua Tuo's descendants, but he was unable to participate in the trial for a short time.

Although Chen Gong made great achievements, he felt heavy.His wife died tragically and his brother was bedridden.Faced with Xun Xu's forged document that Sun Ling brought, Feng Ying ordered it to be destroyed.Xun Xu's leg injury was serious and required a long period of recovery.Chen Gong came to visit his friend, but he brought heartbreaking news - Zhai Yue had died.Xun Xu was heartbroken and blamed himself endlessly.Chen Gong tried his best to comfort him and told him that it was not his fault.

Li Yan was very happy about Chen Gong's return.He was Chen Gong's mentor and had high hopes for Chen Gong.He hopes that Chen Gong can return to his command and be used by him.Zhuge Liang came to visit the demoted Yang Yi and mentioned the Zhulong case.Yang Yi knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy behind it, but Zhuge Liang did not comment and just advised him to continue studying and cultivating himself.Xun Xu read the Book of Taiping repeatedly in bed, and finally deciphered the secret message left by Gao Tangbing.This is the sequence of password changes drawn up by Feng Ying and issued by the Military Planning Department.Although Xun Xu could not get out of bed, he was filled with anger and expectation, waiting for the confrontation with Gao Tangbing.

Li Yan stroked the armor in front of him, recalling his kindness back then.He hoped that Chen Gong could choose his own side and not go to Zhuge Liang's camp.He told Hu Zhong about Chen Gong's life experience. Although Chen Gong did not know the details of his biological father's sacrifice for the country, Li Yan did not want to put pressure on him.

Chen Gong and Xun Xu together welcomed Zhai Yue's body and buried it.In front of Zhai Yue's memorial tablet, Chen Gong vowed to kill Huang Yu with the sword she gave him in the Five Immortals Dao.They discussed the case of Zhulong who was arrested, and Xun Xu believed that there must be a bigger black hand behind it.He suspected that Feng Ying had known Zhulong's identity for a long time, but deliberately used him to make a fuss for the sake of power struggle, and might even have a secret deal with Cao Wei.Chen Gong reminded him to have evidence to support his suspicion, but Xun Xu firmly believed in his judgment.He had seen the same handwriting on Feng Ying's desk as on Huang Yu's letter of appointment.Xun Xu accused Feng Ying of cooperating with Cao Wei in order to eliminate dissidents and compete for merit, sacrificing Si Wen Cao's outside line in order to get promoted.Chen Gong stopped him from continuing and reminded him that walls have ears and he should not reveal this suspicion.
