If it weren't for the dark green light hanging on Zheng Jun's head on the map (far more than Wu Yi's light green light), Hu Xiaoyan would have suspected that Zheng Jun was a Japanese spy. Hu Xiaoyan was really surprised that there were such skilled talents in China who were proficient in secret agent skills.

But he didn't say much. Since this person is temporarily useful to him, he will not ask more. Who is Hu Xiaoyan who lacks talent and foundation now.

If he was transferred to Li Jingmai's position, Hu Xiaoyan believed that he now had at least one province's resources and more than 10 million taels of silver to dispatch. Talents and resources will not suddenly emerge from the land on their own with long legs, and can only grow slowly by relying on Hu Xiaoyan's deep cultivation. can come up with one that can be used for himself, Hu Xiaoyan is very precious. As for his origin or something, it can be ignored for the time being.

Sun Lutang stood still with his feet, and slapped his hands on the stone at the entrance of the hole in the middle a few times, and it seemed that with a slight push, the stone of about two hundred catties moved to the side. The road exited a narrow hole.

Sun Lutang walked in with a torch first, and then beckoned to the entrance of the cave.

Hu Xiaoyan took Zheng Jun and bent down to enter. Sun Lutang had already lit the torches at the two corners of the cave. The entrance to the cave is not large, and the radius is no more than four squares. Living alone seems a bit cramped. Fortunately, the height is two meters. so that it doesn't make people feel depressed.

There was a man in the cave who was lying on the bed. He was shackled on his hands and feet. The clothes he wore also looked a little dusty. The face is clean. There was a low wooden table in the cave next to the bed. There is paper and pen and ink on the low table.

When I got closer to Zheng Jun, I found that the man was a foreigner with black curly hair. The Manchu tight clothes he was wearing, it was easy for him to ignore that this was a foreigner.

"Hu, you're finally here." The prisoner slowly got up.

"Lawrence, I'm sorry. I'm going to lock you up here as a last resort. Hu Xiaoyan took out Lawrence's revolver from his waist.

"You're a smart man, and you're a master of intelligence. I had to do this in the face of the mighty British Empire. ”

"I'm going missing, and I'm going to get my boss's attention. Do you think you can get away with my boss? Lawrence sat on the bed, his hands shackled on the low table, and there was a loud "thud".

"But I'm more afraid that my death will be worthless." Hu Xiaoyan interrupts Lawrence's threat.

"You've read my book, and I'm sure you've studied it carefully, word by word." Hu Xiaoyan pointed to "The Rise of a Great Power" and "The Supremacy of Science and Technology" on the low table. These two books were brought with Lawrence when he was arrested. At that time, it was full of dense notes.

Now both books have been turned over. A thick notebook next to it was also full of his feelings after reading. Lawrence didn't want to write, but in such a small dark room, there was neither a voice nor a person. It's boring and it's overwhelming.

After Lawrence lasted four days and three nights, on the night of the fourth day, he called Li Shuwen in a wolf howl. Willing to exchange information from some intelligence agencies for free time to relax and read books. At that time, his face was covered in dirty dust, and his messy hair was about to stick together and grow a beard.

The whole person looks like a savage rather than a well-educated high-level intelligence talent.

"Sooner or later, the British Empire and I will face each other. I can't wait until I'm actually at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain to get to know him. Hu Xiaoyan sat cross-legged on a futon in front of the low table, and then looked up at Lawrence.

"Lawrence, you are just an insignificant pawn in England. Do you really think you'll make it back to London alive? Or do you get the funeral you deserve when you die? No! You know it yourself. You're just someone who shouldn't exist. You will neither live to be honored nor to receive a noble funeral. Because you do everything in Russia. Hu Xiaoyan shook his hand.

"Maybe when you're still useful, they'll let you keep working. But one day when you get old and can't move. They want you to shut up forever. ”

"You don't understand." Lawrence shook his head quietly. "There is no precedent for the British Empire to exterminate its own informants."

"Looks like I'm a left-pronged lobbyist." Hu Xiaoyan smiled, "Okay, then you wait slowly for your boss to come and save you." ”

Hu Xiaoyan stood up and pointed at Zheng Jun: "Lawrence, introduce to you." This is a senior intelligence officer in our intelligence agency. He will help you remember everything before you are rescued. ”

The corners of Lawrence's mouth twitched.

But Hu Xiaoyan didn't pay attention to it at all: "Zheng Jun, this is Lawrence, an elite intelligence officer of the British Imperial Naval Intelligence Department." Lawrence once tried to commit suicide with this revolver. Unfortunately, he failed. Now the gun is yours. He's yours too. ”

Zheng Jun took the gun with shining eyes and put it away, and rubbed his hands at the same time: "Can you tell Mao Liuhu Si to call?" For intelligence officers, they have their own set of secrecy. I can't get him to tell the truth alone. But Mao Liuhu and four can. The predecessors of these two people used to be good hands at the six gates of the capital. I don't know how much they learned. I believe they are very happy to be able to use a whole set of Manchu ten tortures on foreigners. ”

Hu Xiaoyan and Sun Lutang both looked at each other. Hu Xiaoyan had to cough: "Lao Zheng, you can't kill people." This Lawrence is my friend! ”

Hu Xiaoyan accentuated his "friend".

"Rest assured. We are professionals. Zheng Jun waved his hand indifferently, "I didn't expect that I could interrogate a foreigner secret agent." It's a little exciting to think about. ”

"Shit friends!" Lawrence gritted his teeth. "Hu, I swear, if you can get out, I will definitely make you regret living in this world."

Hu Xiaoyan nodded indifferently: "Okay, I'll talk about it when you can go out." I forgot to tell you that I'm going to the UK. So the period after I'm gone is the moment of truth in whether you can escape or not. ”

"If you're still locked up here when I come back, then you won't have a chance. Because your boss may order you to help me. But at that point, maybe I didn't need you anymore. Hu Xiaoyan smiled.

"Oh, yes. You know, I'm also British. I have British nationality. Now I am a big official in China, and I own the mining rights of the whole of Anhui. Do you think Britain will have trouble with me for you? ”

"You!" When Lawrence was arrested in Beijing, he didn't have time to communicate with his boss. And then he was locked up in such a cave. He really didn't know there was such a thing.

"The UK has always been interested in the Chinese mainland market, and you know, I now have all the rights in a county and all the trade rights in Anhui Province. Do you think the government of the British Empire will go against me for a pawn like you? I believe that after I kill you, tell the capitalists in England that you are not addicted to killing, and they will definitely send your family here to be killed by me. As long as I'm happy. Hu Xiaoyan blinked: "You should know the character of those capitalists in China very well." ”

"Hu!" Lawrence struggled for a moment, but fell to the ground, knocking over the table.

"I'm sorry, Lawrence." Hu Xiaoyan didn't pay attention to it at all, he came to Lawrence's side, squatted down and looked into Lawrence's eyes on the ground.

"We've known each other for so long, you should know me as a person. In order to achieve the goal, I will stop at nothing. Because I don't have the backing of a country as powerful as the British Empire. Hu Xiaoyan sighed softly.

"So I want to make China strong, if the country is not strong, I want to be strong myself. Strong enough to influence an entire country. So that the whole of Europe does not dare not face up to China's extent. ”

"I had to. Do not compromise on the means for this! Lawrence, you get the idea. ”

Hu Xiaoyan stood up: "Don't worry, I went to the UK, I will greet your family, and then bring them to meet you." Who made us friends? ”

"I'll leave it to you." Hu Xiaoyan patted Zheng Jun on the shoulder. "He is very strong and has good physical fitness, and every time I come to see him, I must have Master Sun and Master Li present. If you want to capsize in the gutter, it will be a real shame. ”

Zheng Jun nodded solemnly: "I will." Mr. Lawrence, we still have a long way to go. Hopefully you'll be able to cooperate a little bit. After all, I don't want to use what should have been done to your family. ”

Lawrence didn't cry, but his tears did flow. He has an ordinary wife and beautiful daughter in England. The wife is ordinary, because only the ordinary will understand his behavior when he is often away from home. Because the ordinary can safely protect his daughter from growing up.

But as Hu Xiaoyan said. If Hu really had the power of a province.

The full opening of China's Liangguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang regions brought a large amount of silver to Britain. It also aroused the greed of many powers. If you can open the market in Chinese mainland.

and allowed British goods to enter Anhui in an all-round way, let alone sacrifice Lawrence's wife to those capitalists in the country. It was to sacrifice Lawrence himself, and the Department of Naval Intelligence couldn't stop it at all.

Sometimes money can settle a lot of things, because money is the devil!

It is said that the person who knows himself best is often his enemy.

Although Lawrence doesn't understand this sentence, if you talk about understanding Hu Xiaoyan, he is definitely an expert in this era. All of Hu Xiaoyan's articles, including school speeches and ordinary chats, he has read everything he can find more than once. This is the main job of a professional elite intelligence officer - to know his own goals. So he absolutely couldn't let that happen. Because he knows that Hu Xiaoyan is more terrible than the devil. When the domestic capitalists are earning a lot of wealth from Hu, Hu may have dug a pit and waited for the time to bury the domestic capital completely. When the time comes, the death of one's own family will not only be worthless, but will also bring a terrible enemy to the British Empire.

For the sake of his family and country, he must not stay here, he must escape.

"Run." Hu Xiaoyan seemed to know Lawrence's thoughts. "Remember, you only have less than a year. Because when I come back from Europe a year later, you're worthless. ”

Hu Xiaoyan touched Lawrence's head: "Lawrence, as a friend." I hope you understand. I don't want to kill you. But that doesn't mean I won't. Before I come back. You only get one chance. ”

He now regrets why he didn't kill Hu Xiaoyan the first time he saw him. At that time, Hu stood defenselessly in front of his gun.

Now the identities have been reversed. One chance! Lawrence listened to it. Yes. He only had one chance. I had to get out of here and tell my boss. This Hu Xiaoyan is even more terrifying than money and the devil!
