Walking into 20 Bisarev Street again, although the White Nights Festival has long since come to an end, Li Xiaofeng still has no good impression of the Mariinsky Theater, whether it is ballet or opera, he still has no interest.

"You're late again, Andre." Natalia, like the last time, was watching the performance on the stage without looking back, and no one could have imagined that a noble lady who was engrossed in enjoying the artist's wonderful performance was actually half-hearted.

Li Xiaofeng sat down angrily, "Why are you coming to this ghost place again, isn't the White Night Music Festival already over?" ”

Natalia didn't look back, and didn't give any reply, and the chick, like the rest of the audience, gave a warm congratulations to the singer on the curtain call, and left a certain immortal aside.

"You'd better hurry up and explain your intentions!"

Li Xiaofeng became more and more impatient, the chubby soprano had been called at least ten times, and each time she would be summoned back to the stage by the enthusiastic audience to summon Dafa with applause. Li Xiaofeng has a lot of opinions about this, and the curtain call does not turn over, which is simply a waste of time.

Finally, after the soprano's fifteenth curtain call, the audience finally let her go, and also let go of a certain immortal on the verge of going berserk. If the curtain is closed again, someone will deliberately use immortal power to solve the problem directly.

"Yakov has something to tell you," Natalia said quietly, covering her lips with a folding fan.

"Then let him come to me, or contact me directly with the SCR300!" Li Xiaofeng said angrily, "No matter which one it is, it's better than letting you waste my precious time!" ”

Natalia chuckled lightly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, if Yakov wants to contact you in the future, I'm afraid it can only be conveyed through me!" ”

Li Xiaofeng was obviously stunned: "What are you doing?" ”

Natalia pouted, "Because someone gave him a rather interesting task......"

Natalia had expected that some immortal would be interested in her mission, but someone asked, "Who dares to give him an order?" Tell me, who is this person? ”

Natalia finally turned her head to look at him for the first time, and said lightly: "This person is Shu Lijin!" ”

I just heard the name Shu Lijin. Li Xiaofeng's eyes lit up. The last time he had the Patriarch run away with Shulikin, he had searched several cathedrals in Petrograd, but none of them had any of them.

At that time, Li Xiaofeng thought that these two goods knew that they were invincible and had escaped from Petrograd. If he didn't have so many miscellaneous things to do, he would probably continue to chase and kill those two goods, but now he really can't leave. So I put things down.

Right now. Natalia suddenly said that Yakov and Shu Lijin were in contact again, how could this not make Li Xiaofeng pay attention, he grabbed Natalia's little tender hand and asked, "Where is Shu Lijin?" ”

Natalia snorted, pulled her hand back, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't do it!" Miss Ben doesn't know you well! As for Shu Lijin's whereabouts. I'm sorry, Yakov didn't know what to say! ”

Li Xiaofeng thought about it, with the shrewdness of Shu Lijin and the Patriarch, knowing that Brother Lu Dao was in Petrograd, I am afraid that he would not dare to stay too much, and even if he wanted to stay, I am afraid that only a very few people would know their hiding place. So it's normal for Yakov not to know what to do. The only thing that made him more concerned was, "Didn't your brother say that he didn't have a good status in the Black Hundred?" How could Shu Lijin go to him in person? Isn't this ......?"

"At first, Yakov had such concerns." Natalia said calmly. "But the task given to him by Shu Lijin dispelled his doubts."

"What task?" Li Xiaofeng couldn't wait to ask.

Natalia smiled, "I thought you weren't really interested in that mission?" ”

Look at Natalia's smiling face. Li Xiaofeng didn't come and felt a little bad, this woman would have this kind of expression, probably there was only one possibility - that is, when the lion opened his mouth to make a request.

Li Xiaofeng really didn't have the energy to entangle with him, so he asked bluntly, "What do you want?" ”

Natalia glanced at someone unexpectedly, "It's rare to see you so generous, I thought you guys would bargain!" ”

Li Xiaofeng said with a tiger face: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and put forward conditions!" Otherwise, don't mention it! ”

Natalia took a deep breath and did not put forward her own conditions, but suddenly said: "Shulikin arranged for Yakov to go undercover in the Bolsheviks!" ”

Burst!

Li Xiaofeng thought that he would hear some amazing top-secret mission, but what he heard, Shu Lijin's head should not be rusty. Arrange for Yakov to go undercover with the Bolsheviks, you fool knows that Yakov is already a Bolshevik, don't bring such funny!

"I know it's ridiculous," Natalia said lightly, "but have you ever wondered what that means?" ”

In fact, as long as you are not a fool, you know what this means. There is only one possibility for this kind of undercover behavior to his enemies under the current conditions, and Shu Lijin is afraid that the situation is very bad for him, and he is ready to arrange a long-term plan. At the same time, this also shows that the Black Centurion is likely to move from superficial to underground activities.

"Shu Lijin is probably ready to run away." Li Xiaofeng said with some emotion.

Natalia agrees, but she cautions: "It could also mean that he is ready to go on a death throes!" ”

This is possible, Li Xiaofeng also thought about it, but he didn't particularly care, for him, whether it was Shu Lijin, or the Black Centurion, or the Patriarch, they were all defeated and vulnerable. What he feared most was that these guys would be hiding underground from now on, and it would not be easy to dig them out. As for the dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, Li Xiaofeng wished that they would come to the door to die.

"I know!" Li Xiaofeng said nonchalantly, Natalia was quite dissatisfied with someone's statement, and she asked angrily: "Don't you have anything else?" ”

Li Xiaofeng was puzzled: "What else do you want to say?" ”

"Yakov's security problem!" Natalia said angrily.

Li Xiaofeng wondered, what security problems could Yakov have, he was originally a Bolshevik, and now he has accepted Shulijin's commission, which is equivalent to returning to the organization, what is the risk?

"You're light!" Natalia glared at someone and asked viciously, "Yakov is now at great risk, do you know it?" Whether he was told by Shulikin as an undercover agent of the Bolsheviks, or he was told by the Bolsheviks as an undercover agent of the Black Hundred, it meant death! You put him in such a passive and dangerous situation. How dare you say that you don't need any expression? ”

Li Xiaofeng understood what Natalia meant. It's funny to say that Yakov somehow became a double agent, uh, no, it's a three-sided agent, and Yakov's real service object is him, whether it's to break into the Black Hundred or the Bolsheviks. It was all on his orders.

"Okay!" Li Xiaofeng could understand his sister's concern for his brother, and he took out two bags from his arms, "Open them when you are in danger!" ”

Natalia inexplicably took the bag, the foreigner didn't know what the trick was, and was quite dissatisfied with the attitude of a certain immortal who used it to fool things.

"What's the use of me asking for these two rag bags!" Natalia slapped the bag in Li Xiaofeng's hand, and roared angrily: "Don't fool things!" ”

Fooling things around?

Li Xiaofeng is also on fire. Nima is a life-saving bag, as long as you open the bag to shrink into inches, the charm will work, and you can escape dozens of kilometers in a second, which is ideal for saving your life. He only made a total of ten of these tips, and no one gave them except for the people close to him.

"Don't forget it!" Li Xiaofeng lightly picked up the bag on the ground, "You fools who don't understand anything, you can't communicate!" ”

Turning around, he was ready to go out. Now Natalia also realizes that she seems to be wrong to blame someone. Quickly stopped him and asked, "Is this thing really useful?" ”

Li Xiaofeng snorted angrily: "It's useful!" ”

The words just fell. Natalia snatched the two bags in his hand as soon as she could, and was about to open them, Li Xiaofeng quickly stopped her: "Don't touch it now, you can only open it when there is danger!" ”

Natalia quickly stopped and asked suspiciously, "You mean it will work after opening it?" ”

"That's right!" Li Xiaofeng sighed.

"What's the use?" Natalia asked with wide eyes like a curious baby.

Li Xiaofeng sighed and explained: "It can make you leave the place dozens of kilometers away in an instant!" ”

Natalia's eyes widened, and she looked at the bag in her hand in disbelief, completely unconvinced that this little thing was so powerful.

"You're not lying to me, are you?" She asked, skeptical.

can't communicate with this kind of Xiaobai, Li Xiaofeng glanced at Natalia with contempt, didn't bother to explain, and directly prepared to flash people.

"Don't go!" Natalia was anxious, "Make it clear!" Can I reuse this tip, or can I use it only once? ”

"Just once!"

Natalia was angry again: "You're too stingy, aren't you? Just fool us with a one-off thing? You have to give eight out of ten! ”

Li Xiaofeng was directly speechless, with his current level of immortal power, it was enough to make one in one day, if it wasn't for the accident between Anna and One-Eyed Peter last time, which sounded the alarm for him, how could he waste a lot of immortal power and time doing this thing?

"I'll give it to you when I'm done! This stuff is hard to do! ”

Dropping this sentence, Li Xiaofeng directly shrunk into an inch to flash people, Natalia just raised her head and found that someone was gone with a sigh, first screamed in fright, and then thought that someone really didn't deceive her, this bag is indeed a life-saving baby, hurry up, she put the two bags close to her.

Saying goodbye to Natalia, Li Xiaofeng rushed to Lenin's office, where he had to report the news of Shulijin's placement of spies in the party to his mentor.

"Just such a small thing?"

Someone came in the dust, Lenin thought that something terrible had happened, but after hearing someone's intention, he couldn't cry or laugh, you also came here for this kind of trivial matter, it's really painful!

"It's not a trivial matter, is it?" Li Xiaofeng said unconvinced, "We must strengthen the review of joining the party to prevent those spies from infiltrating the party and sabotaging ......."

"Slow down, slow down!" Lenin quickly interrupted someone and asked: "Are you talking about how to strengthen the examination of party membership?" ”

Li Xiaofeng said as a matter of course: "This is not simple, of course, it is to examine in detail the personal experience of each activist who has joined the party, and exclude those who are flawed or have served the enemy one by one......

Before he finished speaking, Li Xiaofeng noticed that the expression of the tutor was strange, and he asked puzzledly: "Comrade Lenin, did I say something wrong?" ”

Lenin shook his head and said, "You are quite right. ”

Li Xiaofeng frowned and asked, "Then why do I think you don't support it very much?" ”

"I really don't support it!"

Li Xiaofeng was suddenly confused, since the mentor said that he was right. But it doesn't. What is the rationale for this?

"It's simple!" Lenin said eloquently, "It is really necessary to strengthen the examination of the qualifications of party members. But it's definitely not the right time to do it! As I've told you before, no one is perfect, and all people inevitably make mistakes, and so do those who support us. ”

Lenin took a deep puff of his cigarette and said: "So, if the censorship is intensified. It will inevitably insulate a part of the masses from the party. Under the current situation, doing so will only dampen the enthusiasm of the masses and is not conducive to the development and growth of our party......"

Li Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "However, if the review is not strengthened, the enemy's spies will ......."

"That's inevitable!" Lenin said nonchalantly, "With the existing censorship." It will definitely let a party of people with ulterior motives mixed in! ”

Li Xiaofeng was completely confused: "Then you still ......"

Lenin laughed and said: "Listen to me, no matter how strict our censorship is, it is basically inevitable that enemy agents will infiltrate our party." If we blindly raise the strictness of censorship just because of their existence, a large number of people who really want to move closer to us, but who are politically flawed, will inevitably be turned away! At the moment, this is not in the interests of the party! So even if you know that there are some spies mixed in. Nor can we step up scrutiny. And with our existing censorship. It's enough to exclude the vast majority of spies, so ......"

said. Lenin let out a big puff of smoke, "So, I know what you are worried about, but I have to say that in the short term your worries are unnecessary, or even redundant!" Party members who have just joined the organization will not have access to too many secrets, let alone much influence on the party's decision-making. ”

Li Xiaofeng was a little unconvinced, and emphasized: "But in the long run, ......"

Lenin laughed: "In the long run, this group of enemy agents is, of course, the black sheep. But at present, the most important thing is the development and growth of the party, as long as our party grows strong and holds power. Then there will be time in the future, slowly cleaning up this garbage inside, and even with the development of the revolution, they themselves will be exposed. So there's no need to fuss at all! ”

Li Xiaofeng was completely speechless, he didn't expect his mentor to say such an opinion, but think about it again, this style of doing things by grasping the big and letting go of the small is more like a politician's way of doing things. At least a political little shrimp like him does not have the big heart of a politician at all.

If he had been a mentor and had learned of this kind of news, he would have immediately launched a large-scale clean-up campaign within the party, and would never stop until all the spies were eliminated one by one.

But is it now appropriate for the party to carry out such a large-scale clean-up campaign? Even he himself had to admit that it was very inappropriate to do so, and it might even cause misunderstanding among other political factions in the party. Trotsky, for example, probably thought that the Mentor's move was directed at him, and that it would be a bloody storm!

"Of course, your worries are also necessary!" Lenin still affirmed the work attitude of a certain immortal, "It is of great benefit to the future work of the Party to be able to detect which people are spies at an early stage and to identify them at an early stage." ”

Li Xiaofeng raised his head and looked at the mentor, he was confused again, and he couldn't figure out why the mentor suddenly turned around again. This guy really wanted to shout: Comrade Lenin, what do you mean by old man? Can you stop going around in circles?

"My opinion is consistent and very clear!" Lenin, seeing someone's doubts, explained: "Everything is based on the development and growth of the party, so for the time being, it is not advisable to either scrutinize it or raise the threshold." My opinion is that this work should only be carried out very covertly, and you can use the power of the Special Branch to spy on the secret and screen out those who may be potential agents. ”

Speaking of this, Lenin suddenly strengthened his tone and said very seriously: "However, it must not be carried out in a fair and open manner, and even if potential agents are found, do not rush to cut them off." It's okay to keep a close eye on them, you get the idea? ”

What else is not understandable about this, it is nothing more than that those who enter the village can shoot guns, and hoeing and raping operations can be carried out, but they must be carried out in secret. However, it is not easy to keep it secret, because the examination of party members and cadres is the business of the Organization Department, and the Organization Department will not welcome special science to interfere in their work.

One mistake may cause Sverdlov to misunderstand. What Li Xiaofeng wants is not this kind of result, and it is not enough to have the cooperation of the Organization Department, this kind of work on the secret front is completely offending people, and if it is not done well, it will be detained by political enemies with ulterior motives, saying that you are engaging in spy politics by cracking down on and eliminating dissidents. Therefore, it is very necessary to let the Man in the Iron Mask and his Commission for Discipline Inspection also intervene, and he can block a lot of mouths with ulterior motives.

So Li Xiaofeng cautiously asked: "Is it necessary to inform Comrade Sverdlov and Comrade Dzerzhinsky about this work?" ”

Lenin thought for a moment and instructed: "It is okay to communicate with them, but we must pay attention to secrecy, and we must not expand it!" (To be continued.) )
