It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

"There is a code of conduct for thieves! What's the point of stealing from your own people?"

Shi Qian was stunned, and asked carefully:

"Master, do you mean to steal things from other people?"

The old man shook his head and said proudly:
"The greatest stealing is for the country and the people! Why not 'steal' a wife to keep the world free of thieves?"

After saying that, he drifted away.

This gang of thieves was completely confused.
But looking at the departing figure, I feel admiration like a mountain.

What a great saying: “Everything is peaceful and there are no thieves in the world”!
This layout is too big!
Suddenly, a piece of paper floated down from the air and landed right in front of Shi Qian.

Shi Qian's heart moved and he reached out to catch it.

There was only one line of words on the paper sign: Xishi Gaosheng Restaurant.

I turned over the back and there was nothing.

Ok?
it's wired!
While Shi Qian was stunned, Shi Zhuangxiu asked in confusion: "Dad, what do you mean?"

After thinking for a while, Shi Qian said, "Let's go and take a look."

The group walked through the streets and alleys and came to the West Market.
Soon, they found the Gaosheng Restaurant which was doing a booming business.

Shi Qian looked at the luxurious store.
Then I looked at what my group of people were wearing and felt that it didn't match.

"Girl, what are you going to ask? Dad is guarding outside..."

After saying that, he handed the paper sign to his daughter.

Among them, only Shi Zhuangxiu,

If you dress decently, you may not be kicked out after you go in.

Shi Zhuangxiu took the paper sign and carefully entered the restaurant.

She came to the counter and asked softly, "Hello, shopkeeper! Can I ask you something?"

The shopkeeper looked down and asked with a smile:

"what's up?"

"My last name is Shi. Someone asked me to meet him here. I want to know where the guest is?"

The shopkeeper said, "You are not alone, are you? Why don't you come together?"

Shi Zhuangxiu was very smart and said immediately:

"My father is old, and my brothers are young, so let me talk to the distinguished guest first!"

The shopkeeper laughed and said:

"Don't be afraid, we are a regular restaurant.

The guests have ordered a table of food and wine on the third floor. After you eat, someone will lead the way."

Shi Zhuangxiu nodded and performed a "blessing ceremony".
"Thank you, shopkeeper. I'll go up and take a look!"

"Ha, you're pretty careful. Go ahead!"

Shi Zhuangxiu ran up to the top floor,

Sure enough, I saw a table by the window.
The table was filled with wine and food, and the aroma was everywhere.

Since it was not meal time, there were no other guests on the third floor.

After confirmation, Shi Zhuangxiu ran out of the restaurant and found Junior Brother Shi Qian and others at the opposite alley.

After listening to his daughter's story, Shi Qian couldn't help but sigh:
"When a master acts, he is often like a dragon with no beginning or end...

Good or bad fortune is not up to man, when it comes, we should accept it...

Even if I die, I won't die of hunger! Let's go upstairs and have a feast!"

The group walked into the restaurant, and the shopkeeper looked at Shi Qian and smiled slightly.

"Welcome everyone to our store. Please forgive me for the poor service!"

As he said this, the shopkeeper made a gesture, "Please go upstairs."

Shi Qian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hospitality!"

As he said that, he took the lead and went upstairs first.

Shi Zhuangxiu and his four fellow apprentices followed behind, closely following.

Going up to the third floor, the four junior brothers saw the table full of delicious dishes and their mouths watered with greed.

Braised salmon, stewed hen soup, blanched prawns, grilled lamb chops, steamed swimming crabs...

They had never eaten such delicious food since they were born.

And, there are too many.

I couldn’t finish it!
Shi Qian knew that the old man was either rich or noble.
Although I can't guess what the other party is up to,
Now, we can only take one step at a time.

He sat down first, and then said, "Everyone sit down and eat!"

Shi Zhuangxiu sat on his father's left, and his four fellow apprentices sat on his father's right in order.

After Shi Qian took the elixir, his health improved significantly.
The smell of food whets my appetite.

He picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass. He took a sip of wine and ate a bite of food. He felt very happy.

Shi Zhuangxiu and his fellow apprentices devoured the food with relish.

A quarter of an hour later, the six masters and apprentices were full and groaned as they sat in their seats.

After a while, a waiter in neat clothes came upstairs.
"Everyone, are you satisfied with the food?"

Shi Qian smiled and said, "Very good! Very good!"

The waiter nodded and said, "Then please follow me!"

The master and his disciple followed the waiter downstairs and entered a lounge in the backyard.

A man in black sat behind the desk.
On his weathered face, his eyes shone like an eagle.

"My name is Shen Liuliu, and I'm recruiting recently.

True patriotic warriors, although someone recommended you,
But, if you are unpatriotic or a coward,

Please go out and turn left immediately. Goodbye! "

Goryeo has always regarded itself as "Little China".
Concepts such as "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, fearlessness of life and death" have long been integrated into everyone's blood.

The four little boys, feeling looked down upon, immediately started shouting.

"I love my country and I am not afraid of death!"

"I'm not a coward!"

"Why do you say that about us!"

When the millennium is over half a century old, it is not easy to be fooled.

However, when people live under someone's roof, they must show some cooperation.

"Sir, we are all willing to serve our country.
If you can use us, please let us know!"

Shen Liuliu is a veteran of the Black Flame Special Forces. He was injured in battle and returned to the rear.
Seeing that he could not sit idle, Lu Yuan appointed him as the commander of the Counterintelligence Security Department.

Shen Liuliu has a high level of understanding and uses Gao Jianwu to

Fish out the hidden "restorationists" one by one.
I dare not say that it is absolutely eradicated.

However, the vast majority of powerful and "careerists" have been brought to justice.

The rest panicked and fled abroad.

There is also a very small minority who, sensing danger, choose to endure and dare not act rashly again.

Therefore, there was no movement around the Duke of Ji’s Mansion for a long, long time.

Although Gao Jianwu was not dead, he was completely physically isolated.
His influence was gradually forgotten in the hearts of the people.
The so-called "Goryeo restoration cause" became "a tree without roots and water without source".

Such an excellent counterintelligence expert cannot be wasted.

So Lu Yuan gave him the task of training spies.

If you are good at counterintelligence, espionage should be a piece of cake.

However, the difficulty Shen Liuliu encountered was the lack of various professional personnel.

For example, spies often use the theft skill.
But if you don't become a thief, you will never know the mystery of stealing.

The petty thieves caught on the streets,
Many of them are second-rate stuff, in fact, they are just half-baked and not presentable.

When Lu Yuan was on a secret visit, he accidentally discovered Zhao Wu.

This little pickpocket could actually walk for two or three streets without doing anything. It seems that he is not an ordinary thief.

So, he disguised himself as an old man with a hunched back.
He was deliberately allowed to succeed to test the "thief" behind the scenes.

Unexpectedly, I encountered the "authentic thief door".
Not only was Shi Qian given a pill, but he was also given a chance to "turn over a new leaf".

Let them teach the art of stealing,
To protect national security or to steal enemy intelligence.

In this way, one does not violate the "rules of the sect", but can also have a decent job and live a life without worries about food and clothing.

It was truly a win-win situation. Shen Liuliu lifted the cloth on the table, and three "mechanical locks" were placed on three plates.

"Then let's see what your abilities are. It will take only one stick of incense to open them."

After saying this, he flicked his finger and the incense on the altar was lit, with wisps of white smoke rising.

Wang Er picked up the third "three-hole lock" without hesitation, took out a small cleaning rod from his sleeve and fiddled with it.

There are nine variations of the three-hole lock, which is considered entry-level in difficulty.

Shi Zhuangxiu picked up the No. 2 "Super Luban Ball" and repeatedly touched the ball, trying to figure out how to disassemble it.

Super Luban Ball has eighteen variations and is difficult for advanced players.

As a "master thief", Shi Qian naturally chose the most difficult one, "Yin Yang Eight Gates Golden Lock".

This type of lock is like a big compass.

It has sixty-four variations, and if you take one wrong step you can’t untie it, so it is commonly known as “the ghost that sees sorrow”.

Shi Qian knows that not only does one need a strong memory,

You also need to concentrate and complete it in one go, otherwise all your efforts will fail.

In an instant, there was no other sound in the lounge except the rustling sound.

When the incense was halfway burned, Wang Er finally poked open the "three-hole lock".

When there was only a quarter left, Shi Zhuangxiu gently pressed a piece of wood, shook it slightly, and put it on the table.

With a "pop", the entire sphere instantly disintegrated into pieces of strangely shaped wood.

Everyone focused their attention on Shi Qian.
I saw thousands of hands flying up and down on the flat lock plate.
The speed of the hand was so fast that it left a lot of afterimages, which was dazzling.
At the last moment before the incense sticks fall into the incense burner,
Shi Qian took the last piece of the activity "disk",
Follow the slide and push it into the corresponding position.

With a "click", a slight explosion sound was heard from the "Big Compass".

The entire disk slowly rotates.

The Bagua pattern in the center split into eight petals and bounced upwards.

The secret space hidden deep inside is exposed to everyone.

"Clap clap clap!"

Shen Liuliu clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"As expected of the legendary Goryeo thief! It's amazing that he solved it so quickly!"

Shi Qian had just recovered from a serious illness.

It is hard not to sweat even though I have cracked such a difficult task.
"How shameful! These are just petty tricks that are not presentable..."

Shen Liuliu said without caring:
"You have all passed the assessment, now we can get down to business.

Here is what I mean: I have a group of students and you are their instructor. You are going to teach them how to steal successfully."

He turned to Shi Zhuangxiu and the four thieves and said:
"As for you, just follow Instructor Shi and help him, or do some odd jobs!"

Well, this is equivalent to "forcing a man to work" and forcing a duck to work...

After saying that, Shen Liuliu took out a stack of papers and handed them to Shi Qian.

"Here, fill out the registration form, and then I'll take you to the training base."

Shi Qian then realized that he wanted to teach students.

"Uh, may I ask, sir, are you from the imperial court?"

Shen Liuliu nodded and said:

"The General Bureau of Military Intelligence of the Republic of China, the place you are going to is the intelligence school of the General Bureau."

"So I am... an official now?"

Shen Liuliu smiled and said, "Of course, according to the rank, it is equivalent to a flag officer."

Stealing a lifetime of time, filled with emotion,
Just a moment ago, he was still the "dead thief" that everyone wanted to kill.
Unexpectedly, after eating a meal and unlocking a lock, he became an official inexplicably.
The world is changing too fast!
The General Military Intelligence Bureau is currently the largest agency among all the secret forces in China, without a doubt.

Originally, Lu Yuan just wanted to rely on the system to live a better life in this world.

But by chance, he met Zhao Qiaoer, Li Qingluan, Gao Mingna and others.

When he took control of the Yanxiang Society, he had no choice but to support Gao Mingna and join him in the rebellion.

It's like opening Pandora's Box, and it's out of control.

He knew very well that since he had taken this step, there was no room for retreat.

If you want to dominate the world, in addition to money and people, you must also have intelligence.

Many counterattacks and comebacks in history tell us that intelligence played a key role.

Therefore, the caravan of Yanxiang Society became his earliest "intelligence agency".

Of course, at first, just collect some general information.

With the establishment of the North Navy and the influx of a large number of talents, the intelligence system gradually became professionalized.

When China was founded, the main secret forces gradually divided into three groups:

The Internal Security Special Service Department, headed by Jin Meijing, is responsible for the security of Lu Yuan and important figures and enjoys extraterritoriality.

The Security Bureau, headed by Li Hemei, is responsible for local law and order, investigating and arresting criminals.

The Military Intelligence Bureau, headed by Shen Liuliu, is responsible for all personnel responsible for counter-espionage and spying on enemy intelligence.
In addition, the General Military Intelligence Bureau also includes an action team for assassinating important enemy figures.

For example, when the mixed corps joined forces to attack Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province,

The spies and action teams of the General Intelligence Bureau play a crucial role.

Zhang Linghu and Huang Baituo swept through southern Jiangxi with great force and then took advantage of the situation to advance into southern Hunan.

The reputation of the Chinese Army is well-known.
Therefore, a large number of city defense soldiers and generals were defeated.

They fled one after another, and many people went directly to the provincial capital to gather together for warmth.

Finally, nearly 30,000 troops gathered in Changsha City.

The Changsha prefect Zeng Tongguo was a loyal and ruthless character.

He stockpiled a large amount of food and supplies, and mobilized 100,000 residents with iron-blooded means to jointly defend Changsha.

They adopted an attitude of "rather die than surrender" and "live and die with Changsha".

Zhang Linghu and Huang Baituo led their troops to the outskirts of Changsha.

According to the rules, they first sent a prisoner messenger to offer generous conditions and persuade Zeng Tongguo to surrender.

Unexpectedly, this guy is stubborn.
Without asking any questions, they simply chopped off the captive messenger's head and threw it out of the city.

What's even more exaggerated is that he made a big flag.
There are four big words embroidered on it: "I die and the country survives"!
Zhang Linghu and Huang Baituo were dismissive and ordered a tentative attack.

However, Changsha City has strong defenses.

Especially on the top of the city walls, the defending soldiers were mixed with the old, the young, and the women.
If the attacking force, forced bombing,
It will inevitably lead to a large number of casualties among innocent people.

So, for three days in a row,

The Chinese army could not find the defensive loophole in Changsha city.

From this we can see that Zeng Tongguo,

When it comes to defending a city, he is indeed quite good.

The two mixed brigades had no choice but to
They could only surround the city, dig tunnels, and build siege equipment.
At the same time, a large number of leaflets were distributed in the city, hoping that residents would evacuate as soon as possible.

However, Zeng Tongguo directly closed the four gates and strictly prohibited entry and exit. Violators were all beheaded as a public display.

Digging tunnels and building ladders may not be completed in a short time.
Therefore, the Battle of Changsha ended in a stalemate.

Zhang Linghu and Huang Baituo looked at the flag on the top of the city wall and felt extremely hateful towards Zeng Tongguo.

Suddenly, one night,
The patrol team discovered that a piece of paper was tied to the arrow shaft shot from the city.
There was nothing on the paper except a bunch of numbers.
The patrol leader realized that it might be a secret letter.
So it was immediately sent to the highest official.

Zhang Linghu and Huang Baituo both concluded that this was a coded message.
However, the translator flipped through the code book, but his translation was totally irrelevant.

No, something must be wrong there!
Suddenly, a telegraph operator came up with an incredible idea:

"Is it possible that it is the oldest obsolete code book?"

Zhang Linghu didn't understand, and the telegraph operator told him that the code book was often changed.

Huang Botuo asked: "Since it has been invalidated, why do you still use it to write secret letters?"

The interpreter speculated:

"Perhaps he didn't receive the new code book, or he was forgotten by headquarters.
Another possibility is that he gave the code book to a friend before he died..."

Well, that does make some sense.

"Then try to translate it according to the obsolete code book!"

So, three or four telegraph operators went to look for the old code book separately.

As time passed, one, two, three translators shook their heads to indicate that something was wrong.

Suddenly, the last telegraph operator shouted:

"I have translated it..." (End of this chapter)
