When two armies are at war, they must know themselves and each other in order to survive a hundred battles, and this is the basic principle that soldiers must abide by for thousands of years. Throughout the ages, all commanders who knew a little bit about the army would attach great importance to intelligence work, which was the premise of warfare.

If you don't know anything about the battlefield situation, the strength of the enemy's troops, the commander-in-chief, the deployment of troops, and even all kinds of enemy intelligence such as food, grass, baggage, and weaponry, then the battle is undoubtedly the rhythm of a blind man riding a blind horse and falling into the river and drowning.

And all of the above refers to battlefield intelligence, which is relatively direct information, and is generally investigated by the scout team accompanying the army.

But often the most important information is outside the battlefield, and it is this information that really determines the outcome of a war.

Personnel changes in enemy countries, economic conditions, changes in emperors, ups and downs of powerful ministers, disaster harvests, and so on can give the commander a glimpse of the information he wants.

For a soul who comes from a society with a high level of information development, the importance of intelligence work is even more clear. If Jiang Chuan's ambition is only to be a grass king and live in this valley every day, then maybe relying on the reconnaissance of the battlefield scouts is enough.

However, his ambition is the whole world, and this inevitably determines that he must have a set of his own strict and professional intelligence network, so that he can open his eyes to the world, know the general trend of the world, and the situation of various countries, so that he can calmly and unhurriedly arrange troops and arrays, strive to expand his own advantages, offset the enemy's advantages, and encroach on the world step by step.

Therefore, this black ice platform came into being.

Why is it called Black Ice Terrace, it is actually very simple. In the past, when Zhang Yi, a master of Guiguzi and a generation of vertical and horizontal masters, presided over Lianheng in the Qin State, he once established an intelligence organization Black Ice Platform with the support of King Huiwen of Qin.

Zhang Yi was able to directly fight in the six countries and break the conspiracy advocated by Su Qin, the prime minister of the six countries, and the intelligence work of the Black Ice Station was indispensable.

Of course, if you put it simply, the name Black Ice Terrace is cooler and more mysterious.

Jiang Chuan also thought about using Jinyiwei, but when he thought about it, if there is a Ming Dynasty today, I am afraid that he has already been robbed of the naming right, so it is simply called Black Ice Terrace.

With a name, you also need someone to preside over the work.

Jiang Chuan thought about all the people around him, and thought of the most suitable person, that is, Bai Jinxiu.

The reason why I chose Bai Jinxiu is also very simple. Bai Jinxiu is a disciple of the Baiyun Sect, according to Liu Ji, Bai Jinxiu is proficient in strategy, the art of war, swordsmanship, and is good at imitating other people's speech, as well as the calls of various animals and birds, these skills themselves can bring a lot of convenience to intelligence work.

Moreover, the purpose of the White Cloud Sect is to kill all the evil people in the world, so its disciples are basically proficient in assassination and espionage.

So, to sum up, Bai Jinxiu is the most suitable candidate.

Actually, to put it bluntly, Jiang Chuan really has no suitable candidate. Although I sometimes feel that Bai Jinxiu's girl is a little violent, it doesn't seem to be as good as I imagined in this short period of time, so I plan to try it first.

However, although he made up his mind, after all, he still had to nod his head.

Jiang Chuan asked his family to go to Datong last time, and he hasn't thanked anyone yet. And during this period of time, Miss Bai has been delivering meals to herself and helping to take care of various chores, which has really helped her a lot.

What he wasn't sure about was that he didn't know how long Bai Jinxiu would be able to stay here. After all, the last time I heard her say that she went down the mountain to practice.

Since you have to go through the training, you have to go everywhere, and you can't stay in one place. So he had to find a way to get the girl to stay, and willingly stay.

After thinking about it, Jiang Chuan thought of a way to get closer to the girl.

His method is actually very simple and very secondary, that is, when he is fine, he goes to the girl's side to hang around, and the reason is different every time.

This time I came to thank the girl for going to Datong last time to report the news, and the reason for the next time is to thank the girl for sharing her worries during this time, and then next time I will say that the braised pork made by the girl tastes good, and I will thank you.

In short, these reasons have been used all over after being used several times, so that sometimes they are reused, so that even the little maid of Bai Jinxiu can see that something is wrong, every time Jiang Chuan appears, the little girl runs away with a grin, and throws her own lady with a red face in place, so that this Jiang adult, who is known to Sima Zhaozhi, will continue to "harass".

In this case, both of them are more embarrassed, after all, there was a misunderstanding between the two of them before, and although they released their previous suspicions, they were still speechless when they were together.

Later, the little maid Xiaowen really couldn't stand the stupid appearance of Master Jiang's pickled girl, so she made up her mind to "sell" her own lady, and secretly gave Jiang Chuan an idea to let him contact her young lady in the name of learning swords, so that he could fall in love for a long time.

Jiang Chuan pondered that this was indeed a good way, so he casually took out a piece of jewelry from Hai Dongqing's secret silver cellar and stuffed it into Xiaowen as a thank you fee.

Unexpectedly, after Xiaowen got the jewelry, she blushed and looked at the jewelry, looked at Jiang Chuan, and finally ran away with her head down with a red face, which made Jiang Chuan still confused, and finally simply didn't want to.

Then he went to Bai Jinxiu in the name of learning swords, but he didn't expect Bai Jinxiu to agree, and then agreed to spend an hour every day to teach him to practice swords.

After the two came into contact for a few days, under the training of all kinds of cold jokes and jokes that Master Jiang had no face or skin, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and the original embarrassing feeling when getting along was swept away.

And Jiang Chuan also found out that this girl is not as cold and violent as she seems on the surface, just because she grew up in the mountains, she doesn't know much about human feelings, and she is a little proud of being held by the younger brothers and sisters below when she is on the mountain, but in fact, her nature is still relatively simple and she has no scheming.

And when practicing swords, the two still have a lot of physical contact. At first, Bai Jinxiu was still a little shy and timid, and then slowly pretended not to know, but every time her face was still red like a red cloud.

Although Jiang Chuan also knows battlefield fighting, after all, it is only used for battlefield fighting, and the emphasis is on killing decisively and killing the enemy with one move. Bai Jinxiu's swordsmanship is to take a light and agile and even slightly weird way, which is used to assassinate and raid, although it also pays attention to killing with one hit, but it is obviously more suitable for personal fighting.

Although Jiang Chuan was under the guise of learning swords at the beginning, he became more and more beautiful as he practiced, which made Bai Jinxiu, a teacher, also feel surprised, saying that he was a rare talent for martial arts.

Unexpectedly, Master Jiang really didn't praise him, and after getting this sentence, he often boasted about himself, which made Bai Jinxiu cry and laugh.

Seeing that the two were getting closer and better, Master Jiang felt that the time was almost ripe, so he was ready to have a showdown with Bai Jinxiu.

"White girl, I have something I want to tell you, it is a very important matter, this matter is very important, you must promise me." Jiang Chuan looked at Bai Jinxiu very seriously and said word by word.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, he was surprised to find that Bai Jinxiu's face was instantly red to the heel of his neck, and even his ears were red.

What's going on? Jiang Chuan was a little confused.

Then, Bai Jinxiu suddenly stood up, ran back a few steps, and then stopped and turned around and said with a red face in a barely audible voice: "You, you are too sudden, I am not ready, let me think about it, that's all." ”

After finishing speaking, he drifted away in a puff of smoke, and left Master Jiang, who had been making a belly of drafts, where to hang, and he didn't know what the situation was at all.

"Please! I haven't said anything, what are you going to do? ”
