Feng Ying's third step plan was to cut off Zhuge Liang's rear supplies and defenses to completely eliminate his political enemies after Li Yan obtained the right to coordinate and dispatch.Although Chen Gong praised Feng Ying in his heart as an unparalleled genius, Hu Zhong felt that this plan was too cruel and expressed his disdain for Feng Ying, who was once Zhuge Liang's former subordinate.Although Li Yan adopted Feng Ying's strategy, he still had doubts about Feng Ying and did not dare to fully trust him.

Xun Xu has always been worried about the Zhulong case, and what he is most worried about is Feng Ying's involvement.When Feng Ying summoned him to talk, Xun Xu noticed the cell wall dust stained on his clothes, but did not dare to jump to conclusions easily.Pei Xu volunteered to go and verify, and he brought back a piece of wood that was exactly the same as the piece of wood on the table in Gaotang Bing's prison.Xun Xu left the stick behind and waited for Chen Gong to come back to discuss countermeasures.

In the stills from Episode 19 of The Wind Blows From Longxi, we see Zhuge Liang's second Northern Expedition, and Guo Huai in the Tianshui County Governor's Mansion is uneasy about the lack of defense at Qishan.Guo Gang said that as long as Chen Gong takes power, the deployment of the Shu army can be easily obtained.Although the Five Immortals Path suffered heavy losses, it still had many followers in Shu Han who could provide support.Guo Huai arranged for Huang Yu to return to Hanzhong, keep an eye on Chen Gong, and ordered him to personally get rid of Xun Xu, who was constantly pursuing the Zhulong case.In Guo Huai's view, Xun Xu's life was Chen Gong's final surrender to the Wei Dynasty.

Xun Xu confided his anguish to Chen Gong, lamenting that human life and emotions in this industry were as insignificant as trivial matter.He bluntly stated that Gao Tangbing was killed by Feng Ying, and took out the wooden stick as evidence.Although this is not ironclad evidence, it is enough to prove that there is something wrong with Feng Ying.When Feng Ying returned to Siwen Cao, he found that he had been monitored. Pei Xu secretly recorded his movements and continued to monitor him, and went to pick up Xun Xu.Feng Ying asked Sun Ling to inform Si Wencao to enter a wartime state, and asked to arrange carriages and horses to go to Chiyan Peak of Qingshi Valley to find Taoist practitioners for hexagrams.

In order to avoid Feng Ying's spy, Xun Xu asked Chen Gong for help.Chen Gong agreed to lend an elite team from General Ma Dai for his dispatch, but Xun Xu said that he also needed a subordinate who was good at tracking.Chen Gong expressed surprise at Pei Xu's hand and asked why he needed to transfer people.Xun Xu revealed his suspicions about Liu Ying, thinking she might be a trained spy.The timing of Liu Ying's appearance and her performance in helping Feng Ying escape made him deeply suspicious.Chen Gong laughed and said that there are many chivalrous women in the world, and Liu Ying may be one of them.

Xun Xu has been in this business for many years and has a keen intuition about Wei spies.He suspected that Liu Ying was the contact between Feng Ying and Guo Huai, and there must be something wrong when he sent her to Li Yan.In order to put Xun Xu at ease, Chen Gong assigned Lin Liang, who had returned from Cao Wei, to assist him.After saying goodbye to Xun Xu, Chen Gong noticed that someone had sneaked into the house. It turned out that it was Huang Yu who had been ordered to come and give him three crossbow arrows that were tempered with poison, asking him to get rid of Xun Xu.Chen Gong believed that if both Feng Ying and Xun Xu died at this time, it would increase his suspicion.Huang Yu claimed that he was unwilling to do anything for the sake of brotherhood.Guo Huai wanted Chen Gong to paint a place where he would be put to death before he could be controlled by Cao Wei. Huang made an appointment with him to get rid of Xun Xu outside the city, which made Chen Gong feel nervous again.

Li Yan and Hu Zhong began to arrange a plan to thwart the Northern Expedition, of which Ma Dai would become an important part.As long as he lied about the flood and food and grass damage, the plan would succeed.Hu Zhong proposed to meet with Ma Dai, because he had been abandoned by Zhuge Liang and had been depressed. This time he might be able to persuade him to abandon the secret and turn to the light.

Outside the garden, Xun Xu played a tune to attract Liu Ying to meet her secretly.Based on Gao Tang Bing's three meetings with her every month and his confession before his death, he bluntly stated that Liu Ying was a Wei spy.Liu Ying admitted that her affection for Xun Xu was sincere and she had no intention of taking advantage of him.However, the conflict between Shu and Wei left her helpless. She calmly stretched out her hands and prepared to be arrested by Xun Xu.
