Chapter 175: Releasing Birds Will Be Counted
During the whole process, the two boot carvings kept screaming "shell-" and "shell-", as if to tell something. Mai Ke didn't pay attention at first, but after getting the paper roll, his cry suddenly turned urgent.
Mai Ke suddenly remembered that I didn't understand it myself, and I didn't establish a relationship with this kind of bird outside the holy mountain, but Xuanxiao should understand, after all, they are close relatives and belong to the bird of prey.
So Mai Ke temporarily put away the idea of opening the paper scroll, handed it to the ninth brother, and told him to be careful not to damage the original seal, and then communicated with Xuan Xiao and asked him if he understood the sound of the boot carving.
This Xuanxiao didn't pay attention to it, listened to Mai Ke's inquiry, listened intently for a while, and replied that they could understand. As soon as Mai Ke heard this, he gave Xuan Xiao a task: to ask them what they all knew, and then tell him about it. At the same time, I want Xuan Xiao to comfort these two boot carvings, these people will not harm them.
Accepting the task, the Xuanxiao who fell in love with Gentle Township left the haunting embrace and went to do business, while the other two seized the time to rest. There may be other tasks for them to complete in a moment.
At this time, Wu Renxiao had successfully broken the seal and opened the first paper roll. Although there are some techniques for breaking the seal on the paper roll, it is not a matter for these later generations to be the best in this industry. As a result, the paper roll was opened, but the seal was intact and could be restored to its original state.
Mai Ke came over to watch with Brother Jiu. It turned out that this was written by Li Hongzhang to Peng Yulin. is just a few simple words: "When Brother Lin saw the letter, he went to Guigang to get together according to the previous plan."
Wu Renxiao said happily: "In this way, this person from the Qing court should be Li Hongzhang." It seems that the overall situation of history has not changed, and the specific plot is very different, which Li Hongzhang has been involved so early. It's just that I don't know what method he used to make these landlords and military giants obey their orders. ”
This estimate is related to Zeng Guofan's planning. This Peng Yulin is the most famous sailor general of the Hunan Army in history, and he also came to power in advance. I also have to intervene in this purge of the purge . It seems that Peter has a job to do. ”
Based on the historical and intelligence information they already had, the two immediately analyzed some key situations of the enemy. Then, open another roll of paper. This one is more difficult to open because the sealing technique uses a double-entry seal. When an inexperienced person opens the first layer of the vault, he also destroys the second layer.
This is really nothing to Mai Ke. Not to mention the second layer of secret security, he often decrypts the sixty-fourth and one hundred and twenty-eighth layers, and even the two hundred and fifty-sixth floors. But that's all with a computer.
When I opened it, there was no name of the person who wrote the letter or the person who received the letter, and there was only a looming eagle at the end, which was also a boot carving. Apparently this is a means of communication between people who know each other.
The content is linked to the first letter, which allows them to hide the news and whereabouts of the Xijiang fleet.
Although I don't know who sent the letter and who sent it, it is certain that they must have something to do with Li Hongzhang and Peng Yulin. Keep an eye on this fleet, and you will be able to catch the clues.
At this time, the Xuanxiao who was in charge of the interrogation task had completed the task and returned to Mai Ke's side, and Tong Guò Lingxi told him that the two boot carvings were specially cultivated by a tissue to send letters. The leader of this organization is in this city.
They know this man is the leader, because he can decide the life and death of them, the communication eagles, and their family members. This delivery was also arranged by that person. One is for someone within their organization, and the other is for another designated recipient in the same location.
The reason why these two boot carvings kept screaming when they found that the letter was taken away was because they had a rule: the letter is in the fate. If you lose your faith, you lose your life. Not their own lives, but the lives of their children. That's the punishment. This is how this organization controls them.
"If that's the case, can you tell them a condition, on the condition that they return the letter, and let them return the reply letter to me when they come back?" Mai Ke couldn't help but pay attention.
Mai Ke did this kind of thing in the later generations. In fact, the main content of intelligence warfare is similar behavior: receiving the enemy's intelligence, deciphering it, adding its own modified things, and then sending it back to the original channel. Then the doctored information was in the hands of the intended recipient.
If he keeps these boots under control, won't it be equivalent to a successful interception of intelligence? As for revising intelligence, it seems that there is no need for this. Knowing the enemy's disposition, we can already anticipate the enemy's opportunity.
Mai Ke said to do it. He communicated this general meaning with Xuan Xiao, and Xuan Xiao went to negotiate with the boot carving. After the three birds chirped for a while, Xuan Xiao reported the good news to Mai Ke: the two boot carvings agreed.
As long as they return the letters in their original form, they promise to come back here on the way back and show them the letters. But you have to return it after reading it.
Mai Ke felt that it was too smooth, so he checked with Xuan Diao in a smooth tone: "Those two birds can't be deceitful, right?"
As a result, Xuan Xiao rolled his eyes for a while, and he was stunned: "Do you think that birds are like you, and their words don't count? If we don't agree, we won't agree to death; on the contrary, if we agree, we won't regret it." ”
Mai Ke hurriedly apologized to the three birds, but only Xuan Xiao could understand, and the two boot carvings were incomprehensible.
Subsequently, Mai Ke and Wu Renxiao restored the two paper scrolls to their original state, leaving no trace of opening them. The two believe that even if there is a little clue, there is no way for people in this era to find out.
Seeing the two boot carvings leave, Mai Ke pondered at the eastern sky for a while, and said to the three Xuanxiao: "Although they are credible, if they bring a reply, we can receive it." But we still need to be prepared. For example, what if the recipient sends another boot carving?"
The three Xuanxiao tilted their heads to think about it, and nodded in agreement: Well, this kind of thing may be in zài. Mai Ke continued: "Also, we happened to meet these two today, who knows how many of them there are?
The three Xuanxiao nodded while listening, and Wu Renxiao and Ying Wuxiao also gathered around to see what tricks Mai Ke came up with to solve this problem.
Mai Ke waved his hand, like a great general: "From now on, we will transfer another hundred Xuanxiao from the Holy Mountain." They were assigned to keep a firm eye on the east and north directions, and whether they went out or came in, all the snow sculptures were captured.
"Don't let one slip through the net!"
