Identity Reveals
Ending spoilerShow identity reveals
Long Bo is really Xiao Gui, a survivor of Zhang Xiaojing's old Eighth Regiment, which is why he knows so much about Zhang. The bigger reveal is that Xu Bin, the gentle clerk who seems to be Zhang's most reliable friend in the Jing'an Division, is the mastermind. Several minor characters at the Division, including Yao Runeng, are revealed as informants for the chancellor Lin Jiulang.
