Chapter 102: Surfacing
Lin Jie's eyes were focused on this huge black iron pipe that he had never seen before, watching the soldiers pour gunpowder into the cannon barrel and then load a solid iron ball into it.
With a deafening sound from the barrel of the black hole after a soldier lit the arquebus, the distant target was directly smashed to pieces. Lin Jie was so shocked by what was happening in front of her that she couldn't keep her mouth shut, the original musket had already surprised Lin Jie, and now the artillery made Lin Jie unable to believe her eyes.
Just when Lin Jie hadn't recovered from the scene of the artillery firing, the secret guards hidden in the forest quietly touched in Lin Jie's direction.
In fact, according to Lin Jie's vigilance, he would definitely find that something was wrong around him, but now Lin Jie was shocked by what was happening in front of him. Lin Jie didn't even find out when Duan Xiaohan left Lu Zhan's side. 、
Among the secret guards, only Duan Xiaohan had the strength to capture Lin Jie alive, and it would definitely not be a problem for the others to kill Lin Jie, but Lu Zhan wanted to know the mystery of Lin Jie's body very much. The living must reveal far more than the dead. What's more, considering Duan Xiaohan's personal feelings, it would be better for him to come forward.
"Miss Lin, you have been surrounded, you have been exposed, surrender." Duan Xiaohan stood on the tree and shouted to Lin Jie who was lying in the grass.
After hearing Duan Xiaohan's voice, Lin Jie's body trembled, and turned her head to look at Duan Xiaohan on the tree with a solemn face, "I'm still exposed, although I can't beat you, I still want to give it a try." ”
Lin Jie took out a dagger and rushed towards Duan Xiaohan's position, and Duan Xiaohan's eyes flashed with golden light after his luck. Seeing that the dagger was only two or three feet away from his throat, he kicked the dagger in Lin Jie's hand with one kick.
"Give up resistance, go back with me and explain everything, and I will keep you from dying."
Lin Jie rubbed her wrist and smiled, "It's useless, I can't go back." ”
"Nope! You still have a chance, the information you stole before was intercepted before it could be transmitted out of Yanzhou. ”
Looking at the dark guard Lin Jie who was slowly approaching around him, he knew that he couldn't retreat with his whole body, but Lin Jie hesitated. According to the training he received in Tang Liyi's hands, once he was exposed or was about to be captured alive, he would bite through the poison sac hidden in his teeth and commit suicide.
After a short period of pain, you can say goodbye to this world, and you don't have to endure beatings and torture again and again.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Lin Jie stretched out her hands and let the secret guards tie them up, perhaps because she thought that Duan Xiaohan and Lu Zhan would not torture her.
Lin Jie was escorted from the villa to a secret prison by secret guards, where spies like Lin Jie were imprisoned. The small windows were built out of reach, and only a small amount of light could be seen, but the cell was still a little cold.
What Lin Jie didn't know was that there were only a few cells like the one Lin Jie lived in, which was equivalent to the level cell in the prison. Most of them live in cold cells, and only when they state their purpose and information about their upper and lower lines are they released to the farms under residential surveillance.
"You came to see me, I didn't expect the lord to deign to come to see me as a spy." Lin Jie looked at Lu Zhan who was standing outside the cell.
"Should I call you Miss Lin or do you tell me your real name?"
"You've found it all. That's right, I borrowed Lin Jie's identity, but I didn't have a name, I was a nobody. ”
A spy like Lin Jie has been trained since he was a child, he doesn't have his own name, he just knows his mission, and he can have any name when necessary.
Lu Zhan stood in place and sighed, "Miss Lin, I know you don't want to die, otherwise you would have just bitten the poison sac in the first place." I won't punish you badly, as long as you answer that in addition to what I want, I will spare your life and give you a new life by the way. ”
Lin Jie in the cell suddenly laughed, not knowing whether to laugh at her mistake or laugh at Lu Zhan's words that were almost a lie.
"You think I'm lying to you?" Lu Zhan grabbed the railing and looked at Lin Jie.
"Isn't it? Once I lose my usefulness, I will be a corpse in a mass grave. ”
"Why don't you believe me, you are still very young and there are many good things waiting for you, the people you love, the food you like to eat, these are waiting for you." Lu Zhan learned the routine of persuading the opposing spy to surrender in the TV series.
Lu Zhan did not promise glory and wealth, because this illusory word would make these people feel that they were temporarily deceiving themselves, and only the small point of the target could be true.
"You're really going to let me go?" Lin Jie's heart suddenly wavered, with her own knowledge of Lu Zhan, Lin Jie felt that what Lu Zhan said was very likely to be true.
Lu Zhan nodded, indicating that he was telling the truth, and in order to dispel Lin Jie's doubts, Lu Zhan also told Lin Jie what happened to Xiao Yezi back then.
Lin Jie weighed it again and again and told Tang Liyi's plan in its entirety.
Just as Lu Zhan was interrogating Lin Jie, Duan Xiaohan was anxiously walking around the lobby like an ant on a hot pot. Luo Yuechan on the side looked at the anxious Duan Xiaohan and couldn't help laughing, "Lord Duan, what's the matter, what's the matter, with the lord's temperament, Miss Lin won't do anything if she wants to come." ”
"I know the lord's character, but this Lin girl has touched the lord's core secret, and I don't know if the lord will spare her."
Suddenly, two familiar figures walked in, "I'll wait for (the slave family) to see the lord." ”
Duan Xiaohan, who bowed and saluted, used his afterglow to see Lin Jie, who was a little haggard, "Lord Gong Lin girl, this is?" ”
"Reacquaint yourself with each other, now that Miss Lin has changed her mind, she will be a double agent. I don't need to talk about the role she plays, since Miss Luo is fully responsible for the intelligence, Miss Lin will be transferred to Miss Luo in the future. ”
Seeing that Lin Jie walked out safely and sound, although Duan Xiaohan tried his best to hide the joy in his heart, the rise in the corners of his mouth still couldn't hide it.
After the four of them returned to Lu's house, Lu Zhan took a nap and decided to go to the government office to have a look. After all, after dealing with the matter of spies, there are still government affairs to be dealt with, and now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the whole Yanzhou is in a state of joy.
Under the festive appearance, there is an undercurrent, and the clan forces have never stopped showing favor and threats after ushering in Lu Zhan, the lord of Yanzhou, who was sealed by the Son of Heaven.
On the one hand, there are people who insist on xenophobia, and on the other hand, they are in a family that shows favor after Lu Zhan came to Yanzhou. After Lu Zhan arrived in Yanzhou, he did touch the vested interests of some people, and these people originally wanted to be an internal response to help the Zhi family break through Yanzhou.
But they didn't expect the Jin army to rout too quickly, and these families originally wanted to wait until the attackers and defenders were exhausted to open the city gates.
