Outside the stone room, the guards were replaced by Dongfang Pingtai and Lin Chengyin, and the two were whispering.

"Can Ye Yunyang make Ma Wenbin speak?"

"I don't know, let's try it, the two tricks he uses are not powerful, but at least they are better than the two of us. ”

In the stone room, Ye Yunyang asked the young man dressed as a servant to step back and said to Ma Wenbin, "You really want to know the reason?"

Ma Wenbin nodded: "I want to know." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled: "Actually, it's very simple, we are teammates, and we have become friends after these days of training, you can ask me about the volley talisman in a fair and open way, but in order not to arouse my suspicion, you always make a look of disinterest, but you pretended to ask inadvertently several times, which caused my suspicion." The carrier pigeon you released the night before yesterday was intercepted by Xiaoqiu, and it has been staring at you for several days according to my request. ”

Ma Wenbin smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect it, a small detail caught your attention, I thought it was seamless, let's say, what do you want to know." ”

Ye Yunyang knew that he had broken through Ma Wenbin's psychological defense, in order to let the other party completely relax, he did not go straight to the topic, but asked: "After being together for so long, I still don't know your real name, what is your name?"

Ma Wenbin was stunned for a moment, in fact, he was ready to tell the other party, he didn't expect that the other party just wanted to ask his name, exhaled a breath of turbidity in his chest, and said: "My name is Wenwu, that is, the two words on the letter." ”

"Wenwu, a very atmospheric name. Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "If it weren't for Xiaoqiu intercepting your secret letter, we would probably not know your true identity for the rest of our lives, and no one would doubt you." After you graduate from Chinese studies, whether you are in the military or politics, you have the opportunity to get in touch with more core secrets, so life is always full of coincidences, and no one can tell what will happen in the next second. ”

Wenwu nodded: "If I hadn't been sitting here, I would definitely disagree with what you said, and now I have to admit that what you said makes sense." I might as well tell you the truth, I am from the Great Qin Empire. ”

Ye Yunyang was not surprised at all, and said, "We have already thought of it. ”

Wenwu smiled bitterly: "When I was very young, I was sent to your Han Empire to learn the dialect and living habits here, fundamentally erase the brand of the Qin people, and then have a new identity, according to my own situation, break into different classes, and spy on intelligence." ”

Ye Yunyang frowned: "In this way, you are not a person, but a group of people, right?"

"That's right, I grew up with a group of bright and clever children, and our task is to enter the colleges and universities in various places, pay close attention to the various movements in the colleges, as well as the information of the excellent students, and at the same time make more friends, and lay the foundation for the future - to enter the army or the court. Wenwu replied.

The two people outside were shocked, according to the words of the civil and military, the Great Qin spies have infiltrated every higher education college, and when these people reach the age of making a difference, they will either control the government affairs of one place and one place, or lead an elite army, they can not only pass on the information continuously, but even directly subvert the rule of the Han Empire.

Such a strategy cannot be described as not poisonous, and the Qin people are insidious enough.

Ye Yunyang was also suppressed, this was a real big deal, who could come up with such a careful plan and put it into practice, he wanted to know.

Wenwu smiled indifferently: "I don't know who is operating this matter, I'm just a chess piece in this big chess game, obeying the orders of the higher level, don't ask who the other chess pieces are, I don't know, there is no contact between the chess pieces and the chess pieces, this is a dead rule." ”

Ye Yunyang stretched his brows: "I understand, you are a very tightly organized group, and the purpose of not allowing horizontal contact between members is to ensure safety and avoid a series of losses caused by one person being exposed." What I want to ask is, do you use carrier pigeons to communicate with your superiors?"

Wenwu raised his eyebrows and said, "Now I believe that it is not an accident that I am planted in your hands, but an inevitability! You can always think of ideas, you think that since you can catch me through carrier pigeons, you can also catch people in other academies in the same way, right?"

Ye Yunyang didn't hide it, nodded and said, "That's right, that's the case, you are also a very smart person, you can think of the point as soon as I ask a question." ”

Wenwu shook his head helplessly: "If I were really smart enough, I wouldn't have planted it in your hands, so you don't need to be modest, let alone compliment me." What you want to know, even if I don't say it, you can think of it, that's why I chose to cooperate."

The two old men outside suddenly realized that this was the case.

As soon as Ye Yunyang entered the stone room, he gave Wenwu a feeling that he had nowhere to hide in front of him, plus the notes that had been copied and altered, and the young man who called himself Ma Wenbin, it was these seemingly ordinary practices that shattered Wenwu's mental defense.

Wenwu felt that even if he didn't say it, Ye Yunyang could use carrier pigeon communication to find other spies, or even dig out a higher level of people, and he would be branded as a traitor in the process.

Ye Yunyang is a smart person, of course he knows what Wenwu is thinking, and gave him a reassurance: "After the other academies catch the spy, I will ask Lord Sacrificial Wine to let you live, but you have to promise to cooperate honestly, otherwise I won't guarantee your safety." ”

Wenwu Zhengse said: "Don't worry, I will be honest, but you must fulfill your promises, my requirements are not high, just let me live." I won't go against you again after I leave, I'm already a traitor to Great Qin, and if I want to live, I can only stay incognito and don't ask about the world. ”

"I believe in your words, you can stay here with peace of mind, and we can meet your other requirements except for personal freedom. Ye Yunyang stood up and left the stone room.

Finding a quiet no-man's land, the two old and the young began to discuss countermeasures.

Dongfang Pingtai glared and said, "I really didn't expect that Daqin's spies actually infiltrated all the colleges and universities, and it was not easy to find out one or two simple ones, and it was not easy to find them all." ”

Ye Yunyang said: "Yes, these people are scattered in different academies, let's not talk about it when they leave Dongping Kingdom, I suggest that you immediately go to the palace to report to the monarch, and tell the emperor about this matter as quickly as possible, and suggest that he send someone to take charge of this case, order all colleges and universities to secretly arrest spies, focus on investigating orphaned students, and keep an eye on the carrier pigeons that appear at night." ”

Dongfang Pingtai agreed, adding: "Also, all countries will act together at the same time, and strictly keep it secret after arresting people, so as not to react after being learned by the other party." ”

The operation can be carried out together, but there is no guarantee that all the spies will be caught at the same time, and if the news leaks, those who are not detected will surely escape.

The question Lin Chengyin wanted to ask the most was: "Ye Yunyang, you just found someone to pretend to be Ma Wenbin, how can you be sure that Wenwu will not suspect it, why don't you find the real Ma Wenbin over." ”

He smiled: "It's very simple, the real Ma Wenbin has died a long time ago, otherwise his superiors would not have arranged this identity for him." ”

From the very beginning, Ye Yunyang made Wenwu believe that what he said was true, Wenwu just heard from his superiors that Ma Wenbin was dead, and he could use this identity with confidence, but the war was full of all kinds of strangeness, and the suspicion of the villagers when he went to "recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors" made him a little unconfident, coupled with preconceived ideas, this lack of self-confidence was amplified by the wireless, as long as the person who claimed to be Ma Wenbin was okay in age, he would definitely deceive him.

The young man who called himself Ma Wenbin was an ordinary subordinate in Lin Chengyin's family, and the words he said in the stone room were told by Ye Yunyang to recite them in advance.

That night, the three individual wings left the palace and headed for the imperial capital as fast as they could.

Immediately afterwards, the Han Empire and the vassal states and vassal states received the highest secret order at the same time, requiring them to carry out the arrest of university spies, keep it strictly confidential, and severely punish those who violate the order.

Only three days later, six spies were revealed, two of whom were caught in the Imperial Capital Academy, and the two belonged to the same superior leader, but they did not know each other.

Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Capital Tingweifu found clues according to the flight trajectory of the carrier pigeons, destroyed a farm more than ten miles southeast of the imperial capital, and arrested more than a dozen Daqin spies who pretended to be farmers, as well as hundreds of carrier pigeons. After some torture, the spies confessed their means of communication with their subordinates, the Tingweifu forged letters and released carrier pigeons, and the colleges and universities around the country arrested people along the foothold of carrier pigeons, except for three people who realized that the situation was wrong and fled in advance, the remaining dozens of people were wiped out.

The spies and spies added up to a total of one hundred and thirteen people, and of the three who escaped, two were caught on the way to Daqin, and only one was still at large.

Since then, the spy infiltration case has ended with the complete victory of the Han Empire, and Dongping has made great contributions, and the monarchs Chen Mingda, Dongfang Pingtai, Lin Chengyin and Ye Yunyang have all been commended by the emperor.

Dongfang Pingtai came to Ye Yunyang's dormitory happily and said, "Tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, the monarch specially invites you to participate in the temple sacrifice, you can prepare." ”

He who was cultivating opened his eyes and said angrily: "I'm not interested." ”

The old man's eyes widened: "What are you talking about? Can I tell you, every temple sacrifice is presided over by me, can you not give face to others, and I will not give face?"

According to tradition, the temple holds two major events every year, namely the mid-year festival and the spring festival at the beginning of the year. The major events of the country are in the worship and Rong, and the worship in this sentence refers to the sacrifice twice a year, which can be seen how much attention it is attached.

Ye Yunyang stood up with a smile and said, "Of course I have to go, if the king invites me, I won't even bring a bird." By the way, apart from you and Lin Siye, are there any other people in our academy who have been invited to participate?"

The old man replied, "Of course, most of the priests and doctors in the academy have part-time jobs in the temple, and they must attend major sacrificial events. ”

If he said this, Dongfang Yixue would also attend, and he said happily: "That's good, it's better to have acquaintances than to stand stupidly alone, at least you can find someone to talk to." ”

The old man suddenly smiled and said meaningfully: "In addition to the people from our academy, you will also meet two or three acquaintances, and it will be very lively at that time, I guarantee that your trip is worthwhile." ”
