This small inn has been open in Chang'an City for more than 20 years, probably not much different from the time when His Majesty Li Chengtang ascended the throne, such as the degree of confrontation between Heiwu and Daning, every year both sides are trying their best to send more people into each other's country to explore intelligence, not only military intelligence, but also people's livelihood, politics, and even the list of officials, and then extend to the interests of every official.

Daning's Ye Yunsan, once became a close confidant by the side of the Heiwu Khan, his words, the influence on the Heiwu Khan Emperor even exceeded the vast majority of the Heiwu courtiers, because of his existence, the northern frontier army successfully resolved the military actions of the Heiwu country again and again, and successfully obtained the map of the entire territory of the Heiwu country, and also built an amazing spy network, its value is far greater than the elimination of tens of thousands of Heiwu troops in World War I.

And Heiwu's side, naturally will also install a huge number of secret spies in Daning, this small inn that has been operating in Chang'an City for more than 20 years, it was arranged after His Majesty Li Chengtang ascended the throne, for more than 20 years, this inn has never been exposed, not because of how secret their activities are, but because the only role of this inn is to cover other secret spies who have penetrated into Daning, rather than directly to find out the news.

The shopkeeper of the inn is also a Bohai person, and the Heiwu people and even most of the tribes in the Heiwu country have no way to disguise themselves as Ning people, from physical appearance to speech and demeanor, they are impossible to disguise, and their physical characteristics have betrayed everything, so more than seventy percent of the secret spies in the Heiwu country who entered Daning are Bohai people.

Every year, a large number of children from the Bohai Kingdom will be selected to study in Heiwu, and there will be special people to teach them the language, culture, and history of the Ning people, and they will be familiar with all things related to Daning, and even include the local dialects and folk customs, and everything that the Heiwu Kingdom has mastered will be instilled into their heads.

These Bohai people would be sent to Daning when they were teenagers, and placed in those seemingly ordinary families that the Heiwu had already prepared, and passed the imperial examinations in Daning, or recruited, and all kinds of possible ways to enter the imperial court to get close to the center of power in Daning.

Among them, Su Qifan's status is very high, and he was once pinned on by the Black Warrior Khan Emperor.

For the sake of Su Qifan alone, Hei Wu even formulated a special plan to support him.

This plan is very long-term, after they learned that Su Qifan had entered the Daning Cabinet First Auxiliary Mu Zhaotong, they arranged for more people to infiltrate Daning Chang'an City to protect and support Su Qifan, the most important point of their plan is that if it is not necessary, they will never use Su Qifan, let him develop normally, how to do things for Daning, how to do things for Daning, the black military will do whatever it takes, and train Su Qifan to become the first assistant of the Daning Cabinet, and the worst will become one of the second assistants.

Once this plan is successful, the secret spies of the Black Warrior Kingdom will directly enter the power center of Daning, which is no longer close, but completely penetrates and becomes a part of the power center.

When the Black Warriors formulated this plan, they named it the Twenty-Five Year Plan.

They plan to use twenty-five years to help Su Qifan become an indispensable member of the Daning cabinet and become an indispensable member of the Daning Emperor's side, if this plan succeeds in twenty-five years, Su Qifan will be about fifty years old at that time, and he will completely control Daning's every move.

However, this plan was stopped immediately after Su Qifan noticed that Mu Zhaotong was playing with fire and self-immolating, not that the Black Martial Kingdom asked him to stop, but that he took the initiative to withdraw from the Daning Imperial Court.

And that year, it happened to be the Black Warrior Khan Emperor who was killed, and Samburu succeeded to the throne of the Khan.

At the time of the civil strife in Heiwu, this plan was destroyed, the support from Heiwu was stopped, and Samburu's purge directly led to the killing of a large number of black military officials who knew about this plan, these secret spies were controlled by Qingya, and more coincidentally, Shen Leng and Meng Changan killed the first seat of Qingya, after Su Qifan learned about it, he found out about Mu Zhaotong's various deeds, and he decisively chose to leave the court.

But in the past few years, he has still been delivering intelligence to Heiwu.

The number of secret spies that Heiwu broke into Daning was terrifying, and everyone had their own code name, and Su Qifan's code name was one.

He was called Mr. One.

The blood in the small room of the inn was cleaned up, and the corpse was loaded into the carriage that transported garbage outside the city in the inn, and it had been in and out for more than 20 years, and the soldiers guarding the door were so familiar with the guys in the inn, and it was just an ordinary carriage transporting garbage, so naturally they would not be carefully examined, and the body of Huan Ran Daoist was buried in a pile of rotten vegetable leaves and leftovers and transported to the outside of the city, and he found a place where no one was buried at random.

In the afternoon, the carriage of the inn went out of the city again, the man complained helplessly to the soldier guarding the door about how inhumane his shopkeeper was, and the salary was less and more, the soldier guarding the door smiled and comforted a few words, checked the people on the carriage, and there was no problem with the identity certificate and the official seal, so he let him go, and the man was still muttering to himself, saying that he didn't even have time to take a nap, and he had to send the shopkeeper's relatives to Weishui to take a boat.

The people in the carriage were Xun Zhi and Su Qifan.

After leaving Chang'an City, the two men went all the way north, stopped at Weishui, took a boat in Weishui to the east, and then turned into Bashui to the north, their goal was northern Xinjiang.

"Mr. Xun Zhi made the right choice."

Su Qifan sat on the boat, wrapped his clothes tightly, looked at the flowing water by the boat and said: "As long as people's talents and ambitions can be displayed, they can make themselves have no regrets in this life, in fact, it is enough, we always say that the government is for the people, this people, most of the time is very narrow-minded, because of the existence of the country, so there is a difference between the people, but in fact, people are different?" People are people, you can't say that people from other countries are not people because of different countries, you can make hundreds of millions of people blessed, this is merit, whether it is Ning people or Heiwu people, or Bohai people from the Western Regions, as long as they benefit the people of Limin, they are all saints. ”

Xun glanced at him and didn't speak.

"I know what the gentleman is worried about."

Su Qifan smiled: "Are you worried that you won't be able to get out of Daning?" Worried about becoming a prisoner? I've been in Daning for so many years, and as far as I know, there are only a handful of people who are found by the Tingwei Mansion every year, you think it's dangerous, but I think it's safe, for example...... Mr. has been looking around since he got on this ferry, and there is a fear in your heart that is released in your eyes, if you are an experienced court lieutenant, you can see at a glance that you have a ghost in your heart, and Mr. is such an important person, of course we will not let Mr. take risks, let me tell you, all the people you have come into contact with along the way are our people, including this boat, and even everyone on this boat. ”

He stretched out his finger and pointed: "Look at these passengers, it seems that they are from the south and north of Daning, there are men and women, but each of them was arranged by me, does it look any different from the Ning people?" No, although they are Bohai people, just like me. ”

Xun Zhi suddenly asked: "Since you have so many people in Daning, why were you useless when Daning destroyed the Bohai Sea?" ”

"There are two reasons for this."

Su Qifan explained: "First, Ning's mobilization of troops against the Bohai State is not an order issued from the Ningguo Imperial Court, if the order comes from the Imperial Court, we will send people back in advance, no matter how strong the Ning Army is, it will not defeat my Bohai Army so quickly...... Second, to be precise, we are no longer Bohai people, but black warriors, and if it is not necessary, we will not expose ourselves in order to send news to the Bohai Kingdom. ”

Su Qifan handed Xun Zhi a pot of wine: "Mr. Xun Zhi, people must be measured and know the severity." ”

Xun Zhi looked at Su Qifan with a strange look, which made Su Qifan a little uncomfortable.

"What does the gentleman want to say?"

He asked Xun Zhi.

Xun Zhidao: "Just now you told me that as long as you can give full play to your talents and ambitions to benefit hundreds of millions of Li people, you are a saint, regardless of borders or nationalities, and what you are doing and what you say, don't you feel contradictory?" ”

"That's because I'm different people from my husband."

Su Qifan said seriously: "Mr. has the talent to govern the country, the ability to manage the country, and the power to fix the country, so Mr. is destined to make great achievements, and it is impossible for Mr. Daning here to make great achievements, so you can change places, and me?" Is what I do comparable to what my husband is going to do? I'm just a little person, a little person trying to survive in the gap between two big countries. ”

Su Qifan let out a long breath: "I don't have a choice, sir, you have." ”

Xun Zhi fell silent, and Su Qifan also fell silent.

About half an hour later, the two boatmen came over with food, and the two of them left silently after putting down their things, Xun Zhi could be sure that Su Qifan did not lie to him, the two boatmen were black military spies, and those passengers had been rarely moving around in their respective positions, some looked left and some looked right, each person's position seemed random but had a role, so he could be sure that these people were also black military spies.

If he hadn't come into contact with Su Qifan, he couldn't have imagined that there were so many black secret spies infiltrating inside Daning, this was just Chang'an, the black secret spies scattered all over Daning, the total number of people could add up to thousands, or even more terrifying, maybe thousands, maybe ten thousand.

So Xun Zhi had to think of the problem that he had been ignoring before.

How did so many black secret spies get into Daning? If there is no document that is enough to clear the customs in a fake way, it is impossible for the defenders at the border to let people in.

"Are you thinking, sir, that I was bragging?"

Su Qifan glanced at Xun Zhi: "Let's talk to Mr. about something...... Before Mu Zhaotong arranged for Bohai people to enter the customs and enter Chang'an City to seek work, the customs clearance documents for these people to enter Daning were all made by my people, and there are special people in my business house who are responsible for this, and every one of them can be messed up, even the experienced border guards can't see it. ”

Xun Zhi snorted: "So, you are the leader of all the black secret spies?" ”

"Sir, you don't understand our group of people, I'm just one of them, not the leader, probably, I just know more than others, the person who really controls all the secret spies is not in Daning, but in Heiwu Qingya."

Su Qifan looked to the north: "When Mr. arrives in Heiwu, he will come into contact with the people of Qingya, and Mr. will understand what kind of people people in Qingya are at that time." ”

He paused, and said in a strange voice, "Maybe they're not human." ”
