Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 842 The Goose King Exploded
Su Bo Nian was shocked: "What? You are from Xuefutu, but you... you are in my Great Jin territory, why do you have to be so secretive?"

Yang Yuan smiled faintly, looked at Su Bolunian and said, "That's naturally because the people around me are all secret spies of the Song State."

"Ah! W-what?"

For a moment, Su Bolunian was unable to figure out what the relationship was between the Master Fucha in front of him and the secret spy from the State of Song.

He instinctively grasped the hilt of the knife and glanced vigilantly behind "Fu Cha Zong Qing".

"Fu Cha Zong Qing" sent him out of the inn, but there was no one behind "Fu Cha Zong Qing" at this time.

Yang Yuan scolded coldly: "Idiot! Calm down! I am a secret agent of the Song Dynasty sent by the Song Dynasty to infiltrate our Great Jin Dynasty. Do you understand?"

Of course Su Bonian didn't understand what all this nonsense was.

Mosquito-repellent circles had already appeared in Su Bo'nian's eyes.

Yang Yuan sighed softly and said in a low voice: "I am actually a secret agent of the Great Jin's 'Blood Pagoda'.

I sneaked into the Song Dynasty on the orders of the leader of the First Buddha, Tang, and successfully entered the Song Dynasty court and got an official job.

Now, I am a secret agent sent by the Song Dynasty court to sneak into the Great Jin to carry out an important mission.

The Song court didn't know that I was a spy sent by the Jin Dynasty. Now I am regarded as a spy by the Song Dynasty and sent to the Jin Dynasty. Do you understand?"

Su Bolunian tried hard to digest what Yang Yuan said, and finally... understood.

"Then... then, sir, you are now..."

Yang Yuan interrupted him and said, "Su Bo-nian, several years ago, when Yang Yuan, the Grand Secretary of the State of Song, was on a mission to the capital of the Jin Dynasty, I was appointed by the State of Song as the deputy envoy and accompanied him back to the Jin Dynasty.

That time, I also had a hard time getting in touch with Xuefutu.

You can check this matter, there should be records there."

Yang Yuan explained it in such detail that Su Bolunian finally believed it.

Just like ordinary people don’t understand those presidents and CEOs, they don’t know that high-end business wars often adopt the simplest methods.

Therefore, in the novel, the business world is in turmoil, and war is raging amid the conversations over wine and cigars.

In reality, they poured boiling water on the fortune tree, bribed the cleaning staff to unplug the network cable, replaced the opponent's God of Wealth with Ultraman, broke the opponent's coffee machine, and the president of a listed company personally climbed over the wall to see the opponent's production line...

It simply shattered the filters of ordinary people like us who look up to the domineering CEO.

There were no efficient means of communication in this era, and the high-end secret spy bureau in ancient times imagined by later generations also only existed in imagination.

Therefore, after the Jin spy Wei Hanqiang successfully infiltrated the Song court and took office in Dailouyuan, in order to establish contact with the Jin Kingdom, he could only donate a plaque in the temple and engrave his name and official title on it.

Therefore, the last time Kou Heiyi accompanied Yang Yuan as the deputy envoy to the Jin Kingdom's Yanjing, he could only wait for an opportunity to find the Jin Kingdom's post station and contact the Jin Kingdom's Xuefutu secret spy organization through the Jin Kingdom's postal system.

It is precisely because of this inefficient method of communication that Yang Yuan believes that he can successfully impersonate Kou Heiyi.

Yang Yuan said: "This time, I have a more confidential mission.

It’s just that the secret spies of the Song State who were traveling with me kept a close watch on each other, so since I returned to the territory of the Great Jin, I have been trying to get in touch with Xue Fu Tu, but I have never been able to do so.”

Yang Yuan looked at Su Bolunian with admiration: "Therefore, I can only act more ostentatiously on purpose in order to attract the attention of my Jin spies.

Su Bo Nian, you are really good. You actually discovered all my doubts."

“Ah…Is that so…”

Su Bolunian was not happy at all. It turned out that the other party had revealed his flaws on purpose. He was a little smug about it just now.

Yang Yuan didn't allow him to think too much, and said solemnly: "Time is tight, and this opportunity is rare. Don't talk, and listen to me carefully."

"Ah good."

"We sneaked into the Jin Kingdom this time because we were ordered to contact the Shandong Volunteer Army."

"It was for them..."

"That's right! The Song Dynasty was badly defeated in the battle of Shaanxi and suffered heavy losses. It is temporarily unable to continue the Northern Expedition.

The Shandong rebels were unable to hold their own, and their final outcome was nothing less than complete annihilation by our Great Jin.

However, if the Song Dynasty court ignored this rebel army, it would lose the trust of the world.

In that case, the Song Dynasty would no longer be able to gain support from the Han people in the north, so they had no choice but to rescue them.

Su Bo Nian, recently there is a Song army of several thousand light cavalrymen who have been repeatedly jumping around on the border of our Great Jin. You should know about this, right?"

"Uh...I know."

"They are the troops ordered to support the Shandong Volunteer Army."

Su Bo'nian's eyes narrowed, and he asked in surprise, "Does the State of Song want to help the Shandong rebels cross the Huai River from the southeast?"

Yes, yes, this route is the shortest and most direct one when escaping from Shandong to the south.

With the support of the Song army, as long as Xin Qiji's rebels can successfully reach Linyi,
The Song army's light cavalry, which had been guerrilla warfare aimlessly along the border at that time, quickly came to provide support.

The main force of the Song army then moved north from Sizhou to attack Haizhou (Lianyungang) to support the attack.
Then this Shandong volunteer army would have a great chance of successfully escaping south.

Yang Yuan said: "Yes, our mission is to find the Shandong rebels and tell them that the Song Dynasty has sent troops to support them.

We need to convince them to follow our planned southward route and rush to the rendezvous point.

Su Bolunian, you've come at the right time. I need you to report to the court immediately and secretly dispatch the army to stand by.

At the same time, you must send someone to secretly coordinate and wait for my news at any time."

The spy chief Su Bo Nian was fooled and said hesitantly, "Okay! But I need to report to the higher-ups and confirm your identity..."

"That's fine. It's my duty. However, you can only confirm and request the transfer while keeping a distance from me and waiting for my message at any time."

Yang Yuan said bluntly: "Because, saving people is like putting out a fire, we can't just stay in Tai'an and wait for you to verify everything.

I alone cannot control all the secret agents of the Song State."

Yang Yuan was not afraid of his investigation because Kou Heiyi's identity as a secret spy for the Jin Dynasty had never been cancelled.

This triple agent valued his achievement of successfully infiltrating various countries. Although his identity in the Imperial City Bureau of the Song Dynasty was exposed, his identity in the intelligence system of the Jin Dynasty was not exposed.

While he was wandering around the rivers and streams and mingling with Qiu Pi'er's troops at Dingjun Mountain, he also passed on some trivial intelligence to the Jin Kingdom.

My purpose is simple: to tell the Kingdom of Jin that I am not a kite with a broken string. I am still active in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty as a secret spy of the Jin Dynasty.

When Yang Yuan recovered Western Xia and persuaded Tuoba Heiyi to stay in Western Xia to protect the Tuoba clan and stabilize the situation in Western Xia, Tuoba Heiyi handed over the identity of the Golden Spy that he had painstakingly maintained, as well as the token, to Yang Yuan.

He did this to express his feelings to Yang Yuan in exchange for Yang Yuan's greater trust in him and the Tuoba family.

This identity was used by Yang Yuan as a contingency plan for infiltrating the Jin Kingdom.

Su Bolunian also knew that with such a major action plan, the State of Song would not allow Lord Kou to make the decision on his own.

Su Bolunian had great respect for this remarkable secret spy of the Great Jin Dynasty who was in the enemy camp and plotting carefully.

"I understand, sir. Don't worry, I, Su Bo Nian, will fully cooperate with you."

Su Bolunian was very excited. This was a huge achievement!

Who says there’s no such thing as a free lunch, my friends?
Su Bolunian waved his hand, and the badge in his hand returned to Yang Yuan's hand without anyone noticing.

Yang Yuan turned his back to the inn and quickly hid the badge back into his belt.

Su Bolunya bowed to him, turned around and left.

His spies lurking around quietly withdrew after seeing Su Bolunian touching the back of his head.

Yang Yuan watched Su Bolunian go away, then turned around and went back to the inn.

As soon as I stepped through the gate, I saw Wu Youyao standing at the door, with Chunwu Xiaonai accompanying her at the side. "Madam..."

Yang Yuan walked over with a smile and held Wu Youyao's little hand.

As the two walked side by side to the upper room, Yang Yuan whispered, "How is it?"

The young nun Fanqing, who was proficient in telepathy, smiled sweetly: "He believed it!"

……

As soon as Su Bolunian returned, he immediately initiated internal procedures and rode a horse at a speed of 600 miles to rush to Yanjing City to confirm the identity of "Kou Heiyi".

In the Internet age, if you deposit money in a small savings bank in Yichun in the far north, you can immediately check it in a small savings bank in Tengchong in the far south.

But when there was no Internet, if you deposited money in a savings bank on this street, another savings bank a few hundred meters away would know nothing about it.

This is the power of modern technology.

In this era, the secret armor history of Kou Heiyi is only archived in the armory of the imperial city of Yanjing.

As expected, Yang Yuan did not wait for him. He set off early the next morning and continued to head towards Laiwu area.

When Yang Yuan rushed from Laiwu to Zibo Prefecture (Zibo) on the eastern route of Shandong Province and was eating barbecue with his wife and maid, Su Bolunian, who had followed him personally, received a confirmation message from Yanjing.

Information about "White Falcon", his age, appearance, personality, and the details of his badge and token. His former name was Kou Heiyi.

"This boy is romantic and likes to fish for women!"

Seeing this comment and thinking of the pretty lady and the cute little maidservant beside "Fu Cha Zong Qing", Su Bolunian nodded.

Sure enough it was him!

……

The news that the Shandong volunteer army became an isolated army after completing its key mission did not cause any waves in the court.

The civil servants, who think that "everything is inferior", have too high an opinion of themselves. Even in military affairs, they think that it all depends on the scholars like them to plan and strategize.

As for the warriors, aren't they lowly people who can be used just by putting a knife in their hands?
They even had such a contemptuous attitude towards the regular army, let alone a group of peasant soldiers who had just thrown away their hoes.

Of course, not all people are so short-sighted.

The problem is that there are too few knowledgeable people and they cannot cause any trouble in the court.

Before and after Zhao Kai took power, he sent out a large number of military supervisors and also sent officials from the Eastern Palace who had never led troops to lead the troops.

The martial spirit that had just been boosted during the reign of the late Emperor Zhao Yuan had just awakened for a while, but before it could fully become masculine again, it began to wilte again.

However, this incident was noticed by the Lin'an entertainment industry, which is good at catching and using information.

The Goulanwazi began to create dramas and storytelling based on the story of the Shandong Volunteer Army.

This is nothing in itself, and once the momentum is built up, it can force the court to take a more serious attitude.

However, Yang Yuan actually appeared in these stories.

The story of Prince Yan volunteering, Prince Yan risking his life, and Prince Yan leading 3,000 light cavalry deep behind enemy lines became the most exciting news circulating in the brothels of Lin'an.

The first to notice that he had returned to his old ways and had become an idle prince again, spending his days enjoying fine wine, beautiful women, singing and dancing was Prince of Jin, Zhao Jue.

At that time, he was watching a play in a theater with several beautiful Tangut Qiang girls presented to him by Anshun Hou Li Renxiao.

When Zhao Jue saw the scene in the drama where the Prince of Yan entered the palace and volunteered to fight, and the emperor allocated troops to send the Prince of Yan into the enemy country, fighting thousands of miles away to save the righteous army, his face turned pale and his hands trembled.

He rushed into the palace on horseback.

No, to be precise, he rushed into the Qinzheng Hall on horseback.

Emperor Zhao Kai summoned Prime Minister Wei Liangchen, Chen Kangbo, Chen Junqing, as well as central ministers such as Zhang Jun and Yang Cunzhong to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of Shaanxi affairs.

The war was lost, but there are still a lot of things to do afterward.

The recovery of the local economy, the replenishment and training of soldiers, the compensation of soldiers killed in battle, and the accountability of the generals who commanded the troops...

Each of them is very sensitive and none of them can be delayed.

Zhao Kai's ability to govern was indeed limited, and even his personal aides could not be brought to such occasions.

Therefore, when discussing these military and national affairs with several trusted ministers, Zhao Kai could not confirm many ideas.

He needed to listen carefully to the opinions expressed by these ministers, think over them repeatedly, and then write down the highlights.

It was not convenient for him to express his opinion on the spot. After the imperial meeting was over, he had to discuss with his trusted aides.

At this moment, the palace door was kicked open with a bang.

Everyone in the hall looked in astonishment, and saw the tall door of the hall open, and sunlight came in through the door.

In the bright sunshine, there is a handsome and tall warhorse and a human silhouette.

Then the man knocked on the stirrup, and the horse's hoof, as big as a bowl, stepped on the gold brick. The horseshoe hit the gold brick, making a crisp sound of metal.

Then the knight rode in and walked up to the hall.

For a moment, all the emperor and his ministers were stunned.

"Official!"

Zhao Que leaned over and jumped off his horse.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, with a lazy bun on his head, and three lipstick marks on his cheeks that made people want to fantasize.

However, Zhao Qu, who was holding a horse whip, had red eyes and was extremely angry.

That aura completely offset the feminine air, and instead made him appear to be extremely stunning and domineering at this moment.

"How come the news that the Prince of Yan entered the Kingdom of Jin to support the Shandong rebels has already spread throughout the world?"

Zhao Kai was stunned and didn't understand.

Zhao Yu rode up to the palace on horseback, but when he saw the emperor, he refused to bow and had a bad attitude. He questioned him on the spot, asking what did the emperor think of him?

Zhao Kai felt ashamed and annoyed, and was furious.

Seeing Zhao Que dismounting, he asked a random question, and the humiliating anger rushed to Zhao Kai's head.

Zhao Qi slammed the imperial desk heavily and shouted, "Zhao Yu, you are so bold! Riding a horse into the palace and losing your manners in front of the emperor, how can you be so arrogant!"

Zhao Qu swung the whip in his hand with a whistling sound.

Zhao Qi was startled, and subconsciously raised his sleeves to cover his face, took a few steps back, and shouted in surprise: "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor quickly!"

There was an explosion with a "pop" sound.

Zhao Yu's whip was not intended to hit Zhao Ke, but the imperial desk.

Several memorials on the imperial desk and the meeting summary written down by Zhao Qi were shattered by the whip and turned into black and white butterflies that flew into the air.

This whip made all the important civil and military officials in the palace tremble.

When Zhao Yu rode his horse to the palace, he realized something was wrong, and the eunuch guards who rushed into the hall were also stunned.

Xiao Luo in Baolong Palace only protected Zhao Kai secretly, preventing him from whipping the emperor, but he did not step forward to stop the Goose King. Instead, he looked at Zhao Yu with the same surprise.

Judging from Prince Jin's tone, is Yang Yuan in trouble?

Zhao Yu glared at his nephew Zhao Qi, and in the midst of the fluttering "butterflies" in the sky, he shouted sternly: "Yang Yuan has joined the Jin Dynasty, and the world already knows about it. Does the emperor want him to die?"
