The prison of the Criminal Department.

Wu Fang told everything he knew. After signing and drawing, he sighed deeply, looked up in the direction of Wei, and muttered: "I have no relatives in Great Wei, and now I want to die in Song, but I don't have a little homesickness, it's really strange... You guys do it, I know all your rules, the spies you catch are all secret - executed when they run out, come on. ”

Chen Letian said: "The affairs of the spy have the final say in the Ministry of War, and Lord Lin has no right to interfere." The general let you be tried in the Criminal Department for other reasons..."Of course, Chen Letian would not tell him that this matter involved the servants of the Ministry of Justice.

"For me, it doesn't matter, the sooner you killed me, the sooner I was freed, and I suffered from you. Wu Fang waved his hand and said that it didn't matter what the reason was.

"Good. Chen Letian pulled out his knife.

Only Chen Letian and Wu Fang were left in the cell.

Wu Fang closed his eyes and waited for death, waited for a long time but did not move, opened his eyes, and looked at Chen Letian with a smile on his face holding a knife in front of him suspiciously.

"Are you willing to join us in the Great Song Dynasty, be a real Great Song people!" Chen Letian said slowly, his voice very seductive.

Wu Fang was a little stunned, raised his eyes to look at Chen Letian, shook his head and said, "I am a citizen of Wei State." ”

Chen Letian said: "Five hundred years ago, we were all the people of Zhou Tianzi, and the Song and Wei states were the same as Bianliang and Luoyang. Moreover, if you still have relatives and friends in the Wei Kingdom, then I will not make this suggestion, but even if you return to the Wei Kingdom, your hometown has already been razed to the ground in the Wei-Liang War, and besides, you have been in the Great Song Dynasty for so long, your friends and lovers are here, compared to the Wei State, the Song Kingdom is more like your home. ”

As he spoke, Chen Letian opened a jar of wine and handed it to Wu Fang: "Whether you accept it or not, you decide for yourself." ”

Wu Fang took the wine, took a few sips, wiped his mouth and said, "Aren't you Song Guo all killing spies when they catch them?"

Chen Letian smiled and said: "It depends on where you are and what you do, if you are in the barracks, you must be killed." But if someone like you hides in the private sector and basically doesn't steal any useful information, we can deal with it specially. We must declare to the outside world that we will kill the spies if we catch them, otherwise it doesn't mean that it is the same as telling the world that 'we will come to our Great Song Dynasty to steal information, and our Great Song Dynasty will not kill if we catch it'. To tell the truth, a spy like you is actually the most cowardly, and you have been a spy in the Great Song Dynasty for a lifetime, and I am afraid that you will not get any really useful information. After a pause, Chen Letian leaned forward slightly, and said, "Moreover, what the Great Song Dynasty can give you, Wei Guo will never be able to give." ”

"What?" Wu Fang had already drunk half a jar of wine, a little drunk.

Chen Letian said: "Dignity. If you are a spy of the Song Kingdom and are captured in the Wei Kingdom, first of all, we will try our best to save you, and if you die, we will try our best to find your body. In the end, whether you live or die, you can go home. Falling leaves return to the roots, you are alive and being a person of my Great Song Dynasty, then we will also let you be buried in the land of the Great Song Dynasty if you die!"

Wu Fang listened and was silent for a long time, then drank the rest of the wine in one go, lay down on his back, closed his eyes, and muttered, "I'll sleep..."

"Give me the answer before dawn, if you still don't agree, we will bury you well, don't worry, there is a stone tablet, and there will be seven words written on it'The tomb of Wu Fang, a native of Wei. Chen Letian stood up, and after speaking, he walked out.

Chen Letian came out of the prison of the Criminal Department, saw Lin Chaoran guarding the door and looked at the stars, and said: "Lin Shangshu, if nothing else, the spy will surrender before dawn." ”

The expression on Lin Chaoran's face was obviously not in disbelief, and he said, "How can you see it?"

Chen Letian said: "First of all, he is a scholar, secondly, he doesn't read enough books, secondly, he falls in love with Yue'er girl, and most importantly, he is happy to be a member of our Great Song Dynasty." ”

Lin Chaoran was thoughtful.

Inside the cell, Wu Fang opened his eyes and looked at the wooden beams of the cell. He couldn't sleep, I don't know if it was the pain from the countless wounds on his body, or something else.

He has lived in the Great Song Dynasty for decades, and many times, he will forget his identity at some moment. For example, when listening to the Yue'er girl playing the piano in the swallow's homecoming... For example, when taking the entrance exam for the Blue Sky Pavilion... Although he took the exam many times and failed to get in.

Over the past few decades, he has seen many, many strange things. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty seem to be very happy and satisfied, and the high-ranking officials and small officials smile at the people when they walk on the street. There are bullying things, but they are rare. In recent years, the capital has promulgated a decree prohibiting public fights, and this Bianjing city is like a bend of clear spring. There are a lot of dirty things in private, but no matter how greedy the officials are to chase fame and fortune, no one dares to do these illegal things blatantly. It seems that they are all afraid of something, and it seems that there is an eye on them by their side...

When the heroes on the underworld cut the path, as long as they meet the talents who are rushing to take the exam, they try to only take money and not hurt people's lives.

No, even the eight or nine-year-old children of ordinary people's families studying in academies know how to deceive and deceive 36 tricks, and when they play tricks, adults are worried.

No, the courtiers and generals made a fuss, and even the emperor had a headache.

To say that compared with Wei, the bad guys are not less than the Wei State, but the bad guys in the Great Song Dynasty are not the same as the bad guys in the Wei State. But what is the difference, Wu Fang can't say.

There are many questions, Wu Fang really can't figure it out.

But he always felt that there was a kind of magic in living here, which made people feel that no matter how tired and hard they were, there was always a little hope in life.

An hour later, the east turned white, and the rooster crowed.

Wu Fang first stood up, then knelt down in the direction of Wei State, kowtowed three times, and then shouted: "It's down!"

Chen Letian, who was outside the door, clapped his hands and said to Lin Chaoran, the secretary of the criminal department beside him: "Lord Lin, what do I guess?"

Lin Chaoran sighed: "Brother Chen's ability, after this incident, I can be regarded as completely seen, admired." ”

Chen Letian arched his hand and smiled: "I also hope that Lord Lin will cultivate more, cultivate more." ”

Lin Chaoran smiled: "Haha, seriously." Since he has descended, the man will be handed over to you, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

After the Wu side surrendered, according to the rules, it would be sent directly to the front line of the Northern Army and directly trained by the intelligence agencies around the general. Half a year later, it will have to be tested by the intelligence agencies. Under normal circumstances, there is only one content of the test, to dress up in disguise and go to the enemy country to get the head of the sergeant. If you can't get a head, you don't have to come back.

Chen Letian personally went to Wei to get the head, and also went to Xiliang to get the head. He knew very well that going to Wei and Xiliang were completely two levels of experience. Going to Wei to kill a sergeant is like walking on a cliff, the slightest carelessness is death, and going to Xiliang, as long as it is a person from the Li family, almost all of them can come back with one or two heads unscathed. Wu Fang, who is at the level of the Xia Realm, even if he is not sent to his former home --- Wei State, he will also be sent to Liang State, which is about the same strength as Wei State.

Wu Fang had a lot of injuries on his body, but they were all non-fatal, and for him, a cultivator in the summer realm, recovery was only a matter of three or five days. A few days later, Wu Fang followed the post guards on the post road and went all the way west to the Northern Army camp.

He went out as a member of the general's mansion, and along the way, he also tried his best to have a good relationship with his fellow postmen. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect that Chen Letian and Second Master Li believed in him so much, and they didn't even send anyone who looked at him, so he wasn't afraid that he would run back to Wei State? But then he also figured it out, he, a cultivator in the Xia Realm, unless he sent Liang Tiandao to guard him, if he wanted to run, others would not be able to look at him. And it is estimated that there is also the factor of Miss Yue'er, and Miss Yue'er is in the capital, just like his weakness, that is, a hostage who reminds him all the time.

Wu Fang and his postman Qian Hua rode their horses all day, and before the sun completely set, the two came to a post station. Qian Hua arrived at his destination, and Wu Fang, after resting here for the night, will continue to travel north tomorrow.

"Brother Qian, how many miles do you have to run this year? Wu Fang pretended to be very hard and rubbed his thighs, but in fact, he was not tired at all, but he saw that Brother Qian was sweating profusely and panting, so in order to avoid being suspected, he also pretended.

"Twenty or thirty thousand miles, it's not much. Qian Hua replied, took a few deep breaths, and slowly felt better.

"So many?" Wu Fang was surprised.

"That's not much, our brothers on the front line, I heard that they have to run more than 100,000 miles a year. That's still we cherish the horse, if we don't care about the horsepower, there can be more. Qian Hua said proudly.

"Then you Song... What are you doing back and forth after running so many miles? If there is nothing important, wouldn't it be a waste?" Wu Fang almost forgot that he was already a native of the Song Kingdom, and was glad that he reacted in time.

"How can this be a waste? You're not from our post road, you can't understand it. But I'll tell you, there are a lot of little things that are connected together, and maybe you can find something very important in them. "Qian Hua ate the baked cake with garlic, which was very fragrant.

Wu Fang nodded, lost in thought.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, he mounted his horse, bid farewell to Qian Hua, and continued northward.

He thought about it for a long time last night, and then he seemed to understand a little why the Song Kingdom was so powerful. In just one stop of the post road, the post guards have to run twenty or thirty thousand miles every year. This reveals that the entire post road network is constantly transmitting countless messages every day. For small things on the frontier thousands of miles away, it can reach the capital in about ten days under normal time, and if it is urgent, it can be reached in three or four days. Wu Fang once heard his superiors say that fighting a war is the transmission of information, and if you can convey information quickly and in a timely manner, then you will be one step ahead, and then the possibility of victory on the battlefield will be greatly increased.

With such a huge and complicated information network, it is very terrifying that the Great Song Dynasty can operate so smoothly and quickly.

From this point of view, even with the same military strength, the probability of victory of the Great Song army will be greatly increased because of the extremely efficient post road network.
