"Sure enough, there is a mole!"

Fan Xian and Xin Shaoqing opened their mouths at eight o'clock at the same time, and then stopped at the same time. Both of them believe that the leader of their country's Northern Qi secret spy is definitely not a soft egg who will open his mouth under torture, since the other party can catch Yan Bingyun so easily and know his real name, it is obvious that someone hidden in the government of the bed country must have some kind of agreement with the Northern Qi side.

Xin Shaoqing shook his head: "Before this incident, even the prince and I didn't know that Gongzi Yan had gone to Northern Qi. If they say that they betray the country, no fools will believe that betraying the country always needs benefits, and in fact, the entire Qingguo is in the hands of His Majesty let these people take care of it, and what good can there be from betraying the country. ”

Fan Xian and Xin Shaochat glanced at each other, and they both saw the sorrow in their right eyes, because they both thought of something terrible at the same time, what if it wasn't a traitor? What if it was just a means used by some ministers of the court to attack the Supervision Yuan?

Fan Xian thought that when Wang Qinian told him about Yan Bingyun, he felt a little weird, why did he even know about it? Could it be that the Supervision Yuan was so confident in his internal control? Later, he realized that this was Chen Pingping telling him about this through Wang Qinian, but at this time he was still a little afraid, if the news leaked out from his side, he would be dead.

"Is there such a crazy person? Just for the sake of the power struggle in the government, they will trample the interests of the entire Qingguo under their feet. Xin Shaoqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Fan Xian also shook his head, thinking of his trip to the palace, he knew it in his heart. In fact, there are quite a lot of high-ranking madmen like Qingguo. He calmly asked, "Assuming that Gongzi Yan has been arrested, what are the arrangements in the Holy Order?"

"Northern Qi still underestimated the determination of the saint. When Xin Shaoqing thought of the high Son of Heaven, he suddenly felt confident in his heart, and said: "The territory occupied is still not an inch. ”

Fan Xian was surprised: "What about Yan Gongzi?"

"Exchange!" Xin Shaoqing's face showed a grim expression: "The prisoner exchange, the saint has made up his mind, and the previous prisoner exchange agreement will be taken and redrafted." Just waiting for the Northern Qi side to send a token from Yan Gongzi to confirm. Then a new round of prisoner exchange negotiations will begin. ”

Fan Xian frowned and said, "Northern Qi thought that he was holding a big fish, and he probably wouldn't agree." ”

Xin Shaoqing said coldly: "We will also send two more people back to Northern Qi this time." If the Northern Qi is still unwilling, after March, when the winter comes, the Holy Lord will behead the heads of thousands of Northern Qi prisoners, send them back to the Northern Qi, and the army will rise again. ”

"Suppressing people with power is also a helpless trick, I am afraid that the Northern Qi side will also break the net, and there are a total of 3,000 prisoners on both sides. It's always useless to kill and kill. Fan Xian's hand patted the book case lightly, and a strange thought suddenly surged in his heart, "Who are the two people who are going to join the prisoner exchange?

"One is Sean, who has been locked up for twenty years. Xin Shaoqing looked at him gently, knowing that this young man didn't know Sean's name.

"This person was the spy leader of the Northern Wei Dynasty back then, before the Second Northern Expedition, Dean Chen of the Supervision Yuan and Lord Fei personally led the black horse, and the surprise was a thousand miles. Captured Shaun alive at his son's wedding. After he was caught by us. The spy network of the Northern Wei Dynasty has no leader. Suddenly into a plate of scattered sand, when His Majesty personally conquered, he was able to break through the momentum and build a huge empire into the weak appearance it is today. Later, when the merit was discussed, the Supervision Yuan made a first contribution to this matter, and at that time, we young scholars all thought that if Sean was not bold enough to leave the Northern Qi Dynasty and go to Beijing so far to attend his son's wedding, the imperial court would not have been able to catch him, and the subsequent war would not have been so smooth. ”

Listening to these decades ago, Fan Xian sighed speechlessly, and listened to Xin Shaoqing's last sentence.

Of course, Sean had the audacity to leave Shangjing. Dean Chen was even more courageous, and he actually dared to go eight hundred miles deep into the enemy territory, although he paid the price of a good leg, but after all, he caught Sean. Before that, Sean of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Chen Pingping of the Southern Qing Dynasty were known as the most terrifying ministers of darkness in the world, and after Sean was captured by Dean Chen, naturally no one dared to compare with Dean Chen. ”

Fan Xianting's heart yearned, it turned out that the old cripple's leg was broken that time, and he couldn't imagine that Chen Pingping still had such a brave side back then.

"Take Sean to Bingyun. He thought about it for a moment, and judged from the point of view of pure reason: "It seems that we have lost." ”

"Last night, several ministers thought so. Xin Shaoqing looked at him with a smile, "But Your Majesty and Dean Chen don't see it that way, Sean is already seventy after all, and once he is defeated in the hands of Dean Chen, it is naturally impossible to repeat the glory of the past." Yan Gongzi endured humiliation and burden, lurked in the enemy country for four years, and his merits were not awarded, so why not take an old man to exchange for the future of Qingguo?"

Fan Xian nodded again and again, and asked curiously: "Are you still afraid that Northern Qi is unwilling, and who else will be added?"

"That woman was a request made by Northern Qi in the past, so the saint simply approved it. Xin Shaoqing looked at Fan Xian and suddenly laughed, "I heard that the Emperor of Northern Qi likes that woman very much, it seems that in the future, Lord Fan has preemptively put on a green hat for the young emperor of Northern Qi." ”

Fan Xian's face was a little exciting, and he said, "Could it be the manager?"

――――――

Negotiations are always divided into two parts, on the surface the courtiers of Qingguo and the envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty at the negotiation table carefully consider every word, for every title, every word shows a certain kind of pathological persistence, only in this way, can we ensure that the face of the dynasty will not be weakened in the final letter of state. So every day there is always a lot of noise in the Honglu Temple, slapping the table and stepping on the chairs, which is like two countries negotiating, purely shrews in the vegetable market scolding each other.

The other part of the negotiation is much more cold and direct, the negotiation here does not have the existence of Honglu Temple officials, and the Northern Qi side is not the head and face of the mission, but it is hidden in the dark, and the real power can speak.

The Supervisory Yuan is full of words. In Kyoto, where officials are like lackeys and crucians, he is also a well-known high-ranking figure, who coldly signed the secret agreement for the exchange of prisoners without looking at the paperwork again.

The agreement had the name of his own son on it, and he could have resigned from the negotiations, but he insisted on coming and coming to see.

The inconspicuous official of Northern Qi drew a smile and a groan. looked at Yan Ruohai and said softly: "Lord Yan, don't worry." The noble son is living a very good life in his country. ”

Yan Ruohai said expressionlessly: "I wanted to see how clever my colleagues in the north are today, and they can catch the little rabbit cub I raised since childhood, but when I see you idiot, I know what's going on." ”

The official didn't get angry, but retorted coldly: "Lord Yan, don't talk too much, you must know that your son is still in our hands." If we're fools, what are you?

Yan Ruohai sneered twice, got up and walked out the door, and said, "The problem is that my son was not caught by you. ”

Walking out of the door, Chen Pingping, who was in a wheelchair, glanced at him and shook her head: "You have been in this position for a long time, and you are not as tolerant as you were back then." ”

"I can endure a lot, but I can't tolerate a cold arrow from behind. It can be seen that Yan Ruohai respects his boss very much between his words. Pushing Chen Pingping's wheelchair, he slowly walked to a quiet place.

Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair and stretched out a finger: "Inside the court." I don't know how many people want you and me to die, this time we can exchange Sean for Ice Cloud. Next time, I won't have someone like Sean in my hands. ”

Yan Ruohai responded: "There is no next time." ”

"Get that person out of the way. Chen Pingping said: "This time the emperor is on our side, because he knows that it must be a noble person who wants to teach us a lesson." But I don't like the feeling of being teased at. ”

"Yes, Dean. Yan Ruohai knew that his old boss would find a way to deal with this matter, so he was not in a hurry, "Although the prisoner exchange may not be smooth, as long as Bingyun does not die, it can be regarded as a tempering for young people, which is not a good thing." ”

"That makes sense, so I also decided to let a young man do it, and it won't take too long, just a few months. ”

"A few months, isn't this a matter of returning to Northern Qi?"

"Yes, and I have to bring Yan Bingyun back completely, I hope he can handle it well. ”

"Who is it?"

"Before leaving, I'll let you see him everywhere. ”

――――――

Everything is going smoothly, after Qingguo paid a considerable bargaining chip, the two sides drew up an agreement to capture prisoners and secretly exchange spies, and they were all happy, Qingguo got face and land, and Northern Qi got face and Sean and the woman the emperor liked.

Only the envoy of Dongyi City stayed in the courtyard honestly, and everyone seemed to be about to forget about him. The Qingguo court is also deliberately indifferent to the other party, in order to rely on the matter at the foot of the Cangshan Mountain, extort more money, Dongyi City is the world's giant merchants gathered, long before the Qingguo court opened the southern port, began to trade with Yangyi, although the force is only four swords and a sword, the financial resources are inexhaustible.

Three days later, it was the day of the banquet of His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo, Fan Xian, as the deputy envoy of the negotiation, naturally wanted to go to the palace for the banquet, which would be his second time in the palace, and it was also the night he planned.

He carefully prepared everything in his room, only occasionally glancing at the black suitcase peeking out from under the bed. In the past few days of business, he has seen something more deeply, Qingguo seems to be huge and powerful, and it is unstoppable, but there will still be so much dirt and black water in the court because of the ulterior thoughts of some nobles.

The emperor's family is ruthless, but it is not necessarily ruthless to the members of the royal family, but more to the subjects of the world. Fan Xian knew very well that even if His Majesty knew who was trying to deal with his secret service, he would not really kill the killer, because those people could be his Jiang Zi, his sister, his son, or even his mother.

"Be a person who thinks purely of yourself. This is something that Fan Xian reminded himself countless times after coming to this world. His eyes grew cold, and he hid the slender dagger and carefully inserted the three thin needles soaked in poison into his hair.
