Chapter 2325 The hopeless salted fish
Of course, it is impossible for He Qing to see Yan Yu in person. After all, with He Qing's disguise, there is no connection between him and Yan Yu. Not to mention that he has no chance to see Yan Yu, even if there is, it is impossible for Yan Yu and him to be heartbroken, and it is even more impossible for Yan Yu to listen to him.
Moreover, when He Qing goes to see Yan Yu, he is extremely risky of exposure. You, a businessman, can easily get involved in military and political affairs, so how can people not doubt that they have ulterior motives?
Here, there is no suspicion, but rather a ruthless person than to let him kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one person miss it. Once there is suspicion on He Qing, the anti-espionage department of the Shu army will immediately arrest He Qing and torture him to confess. If he does not die, he will have to lose his skin.
Of course, He Qing didn't dare to take this risk, and his success rate was almost zero, so there was no need for him to take action.
If you want to complete this task, it seems that you have to find another way.
He Qing thought secretly that the task this time was very special. If it weren't for the Shu army system, there would be no chance to get close to Yan Yu. However, although there were many people in the Wei army and Han central military department, most of them were people at low levels or outsiders. It was easier for these spies to collect intelligence. They infiltrated all aspects of the social class of Shu, but there were only a lack of people close to the center of power, which undoubtedly made He Qing a headache.
Suddenly, He Qing thought about it, patted his forehead, laughed and said, "I have it!"
The person He Qing thought of at this time was not his direct or indirect subordinate, but a veteran spy from Wei who had been lurking in Shu Kingdom for more than 40 years. It is said that when Cao Cao failed in the Battle of Hanzhong and his army withdrew, he hid specifically. The code name is quite special, called Salt Fish, probably because he thought that he could turn over the salt fish one day.
Unfortunately, the salted fish has been lurking for more than 40 years. From a vibrant young man in his twenties to an old man in his sixties, the salted fish is still a salted fish and there is no chance to turn things around.
Later, due to the large-scale civil strife in Wei State, no one inquired about these spies lurking into Shu. In addition, the anti-espionage department of Shu State was cleaned up, and the connection between Xianyu and Shangyi was cut off, which took more than ten years.
Disconnecting contact is actually a good thing for Salt Fish. It is precisely because of disconnecting contact that as long as he doesn't tell him, no one will know his identity as a spy anymore.
Xianyu joined the Shu army very early. Because he knew the words and was able to write and calculate, such "talents" were relatively rare among the Shu army at that time. Most of the Shu soldiers were illiterate and could not recognize one big characters. Even the famous general Wang Ping was ignorant and did not recognize the words "big".
So Xianyu easily became a clerk. He lurked in the Shu army and was cautious for decades, as if walking on thin ice. He was promoted to the position of Lingshi. Lingshi was the prefect of the prefect, but later Shu State abolished the position of Hanzhong Prefect and replaced it with the Hanzhong Governor, so Lingshi naturally became the governor of the governor.
In terms of status, Lingshi is second only to Gongcao, left and right Cao Juan, and is also a relatively important position in the Governor's Office.
However, since General Jiang Wei was stationed in Hanzhong, the power of the Hanzhong Governor has basically been undermined. General Jiang Wei was in charge of the government, so he has his own system of officials, and the leading generals are directly under the leadership and command of Jiang Wei. For example, the former Hanzhong Governor Hu Ji, who has almost no real power in his hands, and the Governor's Office is useless. As for those officials, they do not have much opportunity to participate in military affairs, and they can only do some local civil affairs.
The salted fish has reached the age of 60, so it is almost time to retire, but there are relatively few officials in Hanzhong, so they have remained in office until now.
Since he had not contacted the organization for more than ten years, Xianyu almost forgot his identity as a spy. He never married in his life. There are very few people in the spy industry who have families. Perhaps he was afraid that what he said in his dream would be known by the people beside him, and then he lost his head in a confused manner.
Unless both husband and wife are in this industry, there are very few female spies in this year, so under normal circumstances, spies lurking among the enemies are all lonely and lonely.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Salt Fish is not an alternative person. He works diligently and thrifty. His monthly salary is sent to Chengdu every month. It is said that he has a disabled younger brother who needs him to support him. His younger brother broke his legs when Prime Minister Zhuge sent troops to the Northern Expedition for the first time and lost his lifelong disability. Now they have no other relatives, so they can only rely on each other.
Lingshi's annual salary is 400 stones, and supporting a family is also cramped enough, so it seems normal and reasonable for many people to not marry a wife.
In fact, Xianyu's younger brother was not his own brother, and one of his subordinates was not a spy, he was just a member of the Governor's Office. In order to save Xianyu on the battlefield, he was shot by the Wei army's arrow. Later, because of the infection, he had to amputate his legs and saw off his legs to save his life.
From then on, Salt Fish vowed to treat him as his own brother and never leave him for the rest of his life.
In the eyes of his colleagues, Salt Fish is a respectable person, a person who is not close or unfamiliar. Just blocking an arrow for him on the battlefield, Salt Fish can take care of him for life. If it were someone else, it would be really difficult to do.
The salted fish lives a very simple life, and live in a quiet place. Every day, except for the official office and residence, they rarely go to other places, never drink alcohol, and have no other bad habits. The only hobby is probably studying.
No one would have thought that such an honest and dull good man would be a spy who had been hidden in Shu Kingdom for decades.
If someone hadn't sent him a secret code suddenly, Xianyu would have almost forgotten his true identity.
He used to be an excellent spy, using his position privileges to send a lot of useful information out of Hanzhong.
However, his online launch was exposed later. During the arrest, he committed suicide by taking poison and killing the salted fish survived, but he also cut off contact with the above organizations.
A salted fish is like a kite with a broken string, which can only float with the wind, and life has no goals and beliefs.
Maybe he thought this was good, but he was a person who was about to die. Although he was a little regretful to die in a foreign land, it was a good thing to be able to leave a whole body.
