A secret gunpowder workshop aimed at targeting Wei spies has begun, but from the outside, the workshop is calm and unstable, as always.

The existence of the Wei spy is indeed a huge hidden danger, he is like a maggot with a bone, lurking inside the gunpowder workshop, always coveting the formula and process of gunpowder. It is precisely because of such a huge risk that Liu Yin has to be cautious, if the gunpowder formula is stolen, it will definitely be unbearable for Liu Yin.

Therefore, it was imperative to clear the operation, Liu Yin personally squatted in the gunpowder workshop, commanded the operation, and ordered Ah Jian to mobilize elite soldiers and fierce generals to conduct a thorough inventory of the inside and outside of the gunpowder workshop.

However, in order not to startle the snake and affect the normal production order of the gunpowder workshop, all investigative activities were carried out in a state of secrecy.

The scale of the gunpowder workshop is now no longer the same as that when it was in Chengdu, a large amount of gunpowder was used during the attack on Chang'an, it can be said that the inventory of the gunpowder workshop was swept away, in order to cope with the increasing demand for gunpowder of the Shu army, the existing production scale is far from being satisfied, so in the time of Tianshui, the scale of the gunpowder workshop has been expanded again and again, and it has exceeded more than three times the size of the Chengdu workshop.

This time, Liu Yin moved to Baling, and it was obvious that he would double the scale of the gunpowder workshop and comprehensively increase the output of gunpowder to cope with the growing demand for gunpowder. After the Battle of Chang'an, the power and performance of gunpowder weapons have been widely known to the world, and Liu Yin naturally no longer needs to hide them, and it is foreseeable that in the next war, the scope and intensity of gunpowder use will become larger and larger. And if the production bottleneck is not solved. It will inevitably affect the operations of the Shu army.

To scale up, you have to recruit. It turned out that the craftsmen brought out from Shu were obviously far from sufficient, and if they wanted to solve the problem of labor shortage, they had to recruit craftsmen from the local area.

Of course, in view of the particularity of the gunpowder workshop, the craftsmen and guards recruited this time have been screened layer by layer, and everyone's origin is well documented, but the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high, so it is necessary to completely prevent Wei spies from using fake identities to infiltrate the gunpowder workshop. It is almost a very difficult thing, after all, the land of Yongliang has been ruled by Wei for more than forty years, and Wei's intelligence system is also deeply rooted here, and no one can say how many Wei spies have been mixed into the gunpowder workshop this time, but according to this defection, at least one Wei spy was involved.

And trying to find out this Wei spy among these thousands of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Young master, after a few days of investigation, no suspects have been found. Thinking about it, this Wei Guozuo is very hidden, and his identity is completely fake. If you want to identify it, it is very difficult. In the past two days, Ah Jian has organized a large number of manpower to screen and verify the identities of the newly recruited craftsmen and guards from Longxi one by one, but now the information is obvious, there is no problem with the origin of these people, and it is almost impossible to identify the Wei spies from this way. Ah Jian also looked helpless when he reported to Liu Yin.

This did not surprise Liu Yin, if it was so easy to find out the Wei spies, it could only show that the opponent of the blue bird was too incompetent, it turned out that the blue bird was treacherous and cunning, and successfully obtained important information about the Shu State again and again, which was definitely a difficult and terrible opponent. Liu Yin is also quite a headache for the blue bird, how to eliminate this cunning opponent, Liu Yin is painstaking, but he has never found an effective way. If he keeps letting Bluebird continue to get away with it, it will eventually become a big problem for him.

The defection of the craftsman has caused a certain amount of chaos in the gunpowder workshop, people are panicked, and everyone is in danger, this situation is very unfavorable to the gunpowder workshop that has just been relocated and rebuilt, Liu Yin must appease the inside of the workshop, and cannot spoil a pot of soup because of a grain of mouse droppings, and it is imperative to restore the normal order of the workshop, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the investigation.

After listening to Ah Jian's report, Liu Yin fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said: "Since this Wei State is unwilling to show up, then we will create some opportunities for him to force him to appear." ”

Ah Jian said: "Young master, what if this fine work has been dormant and does not take the bait?" ”

Liu Yin smiled slightly and said: "This time the Wei people acted in a hurry without being completely sure, which is enough to prove that Sima Zhao of Luoyang is quite interested in gunpowder, with Sima Zhao's urging, it is not an easy task for Wei to want to stop, and now only by luring the snake out of the hole is the only way for us to find this fine work." ”

Red Eagle is a military marquis of the Guanzhong Military Division, born in Tianshui and speaks fluent Longxi dialect, before the Shu army invaded Longxi, Red Eagle has always been a low-level military attache in Tianshui Taishou Mansion.

Of course, this is only his identity on the surface, but secretly he is a military marquis in the middle of the Wei Guoguan Military Division, and his main job is to monitor Tianshui Taishou Wang Qi's every move, you know, the responsibility of the Military Department is not simply external, and at the same time it is responsible for monitoring and controlling internal officials to prevent desertion or defection.

But the situation in Longxi is far from being controlled by a small Dubo or a military marquis, Wang Ji treasoned and defected to the enemy, and Chiying could only truthfully reflect Wang Ji's situation to the upper peak, and his personal strength alone was not enough to change anything.

Shangfeng quickly replied, asking Red Eagle to break into the interior of the Shu Army's gunpowder workshop.

At that time, the battle of Chang'an had not yet been carried out, and no one had seen the power of gunpowder, let alone what gunpowder was, and Chi Ying was also at a loss, not knowing what Shangfeng wanted him to sneak into the workshop.

But for Chi Ying, who has been serving the military division loyally for decades, Shangfeng's order is greater than the sky, and he must carry it out unconditionally, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, he will have no hesitation.

Red Eagle entered the gunpowder workshop as a guard, and it is not very clear how Shangfeng operates Red Eagle is not very clear, but Red Eagle got a letter of sponsorship from Tianshui Taishou Wangqi, which allowed him to enter the gunpowder workshop extremely smoothly and became a chief of the workshop guard, responsible for commanding a team of ten people.
