Chapter 487: Backup Plan
However, Red Eagle's worries are a little superfluous, he knows Turtledove, and Turtledove doesn't know him, last night's joint, Red Eagle was masked in a black scarf, and Turtledove didn't know who he was at all.
Although it was not exposed, Chi Ying was still a little depressed in his heart, what a good opportunity, it was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but in the end, it fell short and failed, which cannot but be said to be a pity.
What worries Red Eagle even more is that he still doesn't know Xu Hong's life and death, although Turtledove doesn't know his identity, but Xu Hong is clear, once Xu Hong falls into the hands of the Shu army, Red Eagle's identity will be immediately exposed. Maybe a spy trained by a turtledove has a very hard bones and can resist death under the torture of the Shu army, but an ordinary person like Xu Hong may pee out as soon as he enters the interrogation place.
However, Chi Ying knew very well that in order to protect his internal existence in the Shu army, the people of the Wei State Military Department would definitely dispose of Xu Hong at the last moment, and would never let him fall into the hands of the Shu army.
Sure enough, Red Eagle also quickly saw the corpses of Xu Hong and several other Wei spies, which undoubtedly made Red Eagle safe, but seeing Xu Hong dead, Red Eagle couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, originally Xu Hong had this job in the gunpowder workshop with a good income that could make him worry about food and clothing, but under the temptation of Red Eagle, he rushed to a new life without hesitation, but unfortunately he didn't have time to enjoy the long-lost feeling of freedom, and he was wiped out.
Xu Hong did not die at the hands of the pursuing Shu army, but at the hands of the Wei spies who rescued him, and Xu Hong did not understand what was going on.
Years of espionage. Let Red Eagle no longer have feelings for anything and anyone. Maybe in his eyes. All people are only divided into two categories, valuable and worthless, Xu Hong loses his value, and naturally he will suffer life and death.
This miss made Red Eagle feel that the defense of the Shu army would definitely be strengthened, and it might not be so easy to easily plot a defection, but Red Eagle is the kind of person who perseveres and will never be defeated easily. As long as he is alive, he will never give up hope.
When he first came to the gunpowder workshop, Red Eagle was really depressed, thinking that he was overkill, and as a top excellent intelligence officer, he should go deep into the most important position, instead of coming to this handicraft workshop to do some inexplicable things.
During the Battle of Chang'an, gunpowder collapsed the strong city wall, which made Red Eagle suddenly realize and marvel at the foresight of the blue bird. At the same time, he also felt that the burden on his shoulders was a thousand weights. It can be said that all the eyes of the Wei State are focused on this.
Just when Red Eagle was still thinking about the next plan of action, Shen Ping, the deputy commander of the gunpowder workshop, suddenly came to him and ordered: "Lin Chong, from now on, you will lead the Shiren team to garrison the cliff in the back mountain, and there must be no mistake. ”
Lin Zhong is the real name of Red Eagle, and this name Red Eagle was used when he was a child, such as a fake package, but Red Eagle was a nickname he gave after entering the Wei State spy system. Shen Ping is the second only person in the gunpowder workshop to Ding Hu, and this time he appointed Red Eagle to guard the cliff behind the mountain, which is a bit of a feeling of making up for the dead.
Red Eagle looked awe-inspiring, he knew very well how bad the impact of this defection was, and heard that Liu Yin was personally in the workshop, which showed how the undercurrent was surging inside the gunpowder workshop that was calm as usual on the surface.
"Obedience." Red Eagle gave up his promise, although Red Eagle didn't want to leave the workshop at this time, but Shen Ping's order, how could he dare to resist as a small leader.
Shen Ping patted Chi Ying's shoulder with great satisfaction, and said: "Lin Chong, now the inside of the workshop is being investigated, just to find out the details of the anti-Wei work, but don't worry, this commander is still very relieved of you, after all, you have Wang Taishou's recommendation." The cliff of the back mountain is extremely important, the last time the reverse Wei broke through from here, such a heavy responsibility is on your shoulders, I hope you will not live up to the expectations of the commander and Wang Taishou. ”
"I should do my best to live up to the expectations of my commander." Red Eagle said quickly.
Now the whole gunpowder workshop is in turmoil, everyone is in danger, they are afraid of being listed as a suspect, the heart of a thief is weak, and those who are not thieves are just as timid, for fear that if they are not careful, they will catch fire.
Red Eagle's situation is the most reassuring, as he is a native of Longyou, and he is sponsored by Tianshui Taishou Wang Qi, absolutely no one will suspect that he is a spy of Wei, which undoubtedly opens the door for him to be convenient. But Red Eagle is unwilling to defend any cliffs behind the mountain, and only by staying inside the workshop can he have a chance to complete the task.
However, Chiying knew very well that Shen Ping's order could not be disobeyed at all, and if he refused, it would inevitably arouse Shen Ping's suspicions, so Chiying agreed very happily, and showed a happy expression as much as possible, treating this drudgery as a beautiful errand.
Shen Ping was very satisfied with Red Eagle's attitude, and after a while, he went out. Red Eagle had no choice but to lead his ten men to the cliff behind the mountain to patrol and sentry.
The cliff of the back mountain is the place where the turtledove and a few others took Xu Hong to leave a few days ago, the whole Chezhang ditch in the whole valley, it is in the shape of a gourd, the mouth is small and the belly is big, the terrain in the valley is flat, in addition to the east and west entrances and exits, the north and south sides are extremely steep cliffs, the wall stands thousands of miles, it is extremely difficult to cross, and there is only a cliff in the back mountain, only five or six zhang high.
The height of five or six zhang is an unattainable height for ordinary people, but for special agents with special skills, it is pediatric. At that time, the Shu army was negligent in taking precautions, so they were caught by the Wei spies and escaped from here.
As soon as Red Eagle arrived at the bottom of the cliff, his face changed slightly, and he saw the stones placed under the cliff. If you see it from the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a few extremely ordinary stones, placed there very casually, and there is nothing unusual to see.
But Red Eagle knew very well that these stones were carefully designed from size to shape and placement, which was a way for the military secretary to convey a message to Red Eagle.
Red Eagle quickly spread the ten soldiers apart, according to the prompt of the message, Red Eagle took out a small bamboo pipe ten steps away, he looked around and saw that there was no one around, and quickly opened the bamboo pipe, and saw only a small note with a line of words written on it: "Mission failed, ready to start the backup plan."
