The last three kingdoms

Chapter 487 Spy Red Eagle
Although holding Wang Qi's letter of recommendation in hand allowed Chi Ying to go unimpeded in the selection of Gunpowder Workshop, Chi Ying did not naively think that Wang Qi was with them. In the past few years, Chi Ying, as a personal soldier of the prefect's mansion, has performed well and is trustworthy, so he recommends it to Liu Yin.

But in fact, Wang Qi didn't know that this Chi Ying was an undercover agent lurking beside him, who was here to spy on him. Wang Qi didn't know his true identity, and just said that Chi Ying was hiding in disguise. Defrauded Wang Qi's trust.

Now Wang Qi's status in the Shu army is comparable to that of Qianhong. Not only did he continue to serve as the prefect of Tianshui County, but he also became one of the five armies of the Shu army. Among them, he can be regarded as a hot character in moxibustion.

With Wang Qi's recommendation, Chiying was able to enter the gunpowder workshop smoothly and served as a superintendent.Chi Ying's identity information is completely true. He was born in Xinyang County, Tianshui County. Make Chiying green light all the way, unimpeded.

Chiying entered the gunpowder workshop and performed exceptionally well. He successfully stole the gunpowder sample and submitted it to Shangfeng and then to Luoyang.

The internal management of the gunpowder workshop is extremely strict, and the control of gunpowder products is almost relentless. Under such conditions, Chi Ying can still complete the task well, showing that Chi Ying is an excellent spy The quality of personnel.

The loud bang in Chang'an City shocked the people all over the world, and the attention paid to gunpowder instantly rose to a very high level, and Chi Ying, who broke into the gunpowder workshop, became one of the most important spies in the Jianjun Division. one.

Although some gunpowder was stolen as samples, the news from Luoyang made Chi Ying a little disappointed. The craftsmen in Luoyang didn't know this stuff at all, so they couldn't imitate gunpowder based on these samples. If Wei Guo wanted to make To produce gunpowder, one must obtain the formula of gunpowder or a craftsman who has mastered the core technology.

Therefore, the latest order given by Jian Junsi to Chiying is to try to steal the gunpowder formula and hold the artisans hostage, and Luoyang is in a hurry to complete this task in the shortest possible time.

Chi Ying is also very worried this time. He has never seen or heard of the formula of gunpowder. Such highly confidential items are not accessible to people of his level. Since they are missing, that is to say There is no way to start.Red Eagle can only focus on the second task, which is to try to lure or kidnap the senior craftsmen of the workshop.

Generally, it is impossible for craftsmen who are new to the workshop to master the core technology, and only the first batch of old craftsmen who entered the workshop in Chengdu are the targets of Chiying.However, the parents and family members of these senior craftsmen are all in Shu, and the treatment given by the gunpowder workshop is extremely generous, so it is very difficult to persuade them to return to Wei.

Chi Yinggan has been lurking for more than ten years, and has never been exposed once. Apart from being extremely cautious, knowing forbearance is the magic weapon for Chi Ying to win. In the past, in order to obtain an important piece of information, he had patiently waited for an opportunity. And the first class is three years, this kind of perseverance and perseverance is not something ordinary people can learn.

After being ordered this time, Chiying deeply felt the heavy responsibility and dared not slacken the slightest slack. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, he prefers to go to the mountains.

However, fate seems to favor Chiying very much, and he quickly found a suitable candidate—Xu Hong from the ingredient workshop.Xu Hong is about 40 years old, has no wife in Sichuan and his parents are both deceased. It can be said that he is the most careless person.Xu Hong likes to drink some wine in his spare time. In the monotonous and boring life of the gunpowder workshop, this is almost his only hobby. After all, Xu Hong has saved a lot of money in recent years, and his family has died. The workshop is located in the valley, and the guards are heavily guarded. You can't get out if you want to. No matter how much money you save, there is nowhere to spend it.

Fortunately, there is also a tavern opened inside the Gunpowder Workshop, where you can come to relieve worries and boredom, and Xu Hong has become a frequent visitor here.A little after a drink, Xu Hong had a conflict with a craftsman he knew well. The two were working in the same workshop, and they usually looked at each other disliked. .

Fighting is prohibited inside the Gunpowder Workshop, and once found, they will be severely punished.However, it was precisely because of Chi Ying's testimony that Xu Hong did not take the initiative to provoke, but under the repeated persecution of the opponent, he fought back angrily and injured the opponent. In the end, Xu Hong was only lightly punished, while the opponent Then he was tortured with twenty lashes.

After that, Xu Hong was very grateful to Chi Ying. Although there were regulations in the workshop that personnel, craftsmen, and guards in various processes should not communicate with each other, they still couldn't stop Xu Hong and Chi Ying from communicating in private.

Through contact, Chi Ying learned that Xu Hong is also a person who is unwilling to be restrained. He is very disgusted with these rules and regulations of the Gunpowder Workshop, and longs for more freedom and a wider range of activities.

People like Xu Hong are the best targets for Chi Ying to instigate rebellion. Under Chi Ying's honesty and kindness, Xu Hong is even more eager for the days when there are groups of wives and concubines spending money outside, and is determined to abscond under Xu Hong's arrangement.

The initial stage of absconding went very smoothly. Since the establishment of the Gunpowder Workshop, there has never been a single incident of defection. This undoubtedly caused Ding Hu, the guard commander of the Gunpowder Workshop, to be a little paralyzed, and there were some omissions that should not have occurred.

It was precisely this omission that Chi Ying caught, and got in touch with the Wei Guo spies who came to meet him from the cliff of the back mountain, and successfully sent Xu Hong out.

The sudden sound of the gong sounded during the late roll call. It was obvious that the workshop had discovered that some craftsmen were missing.The entire workshop was brightly lit all night, and most of them stayed up all night. Chi Ying's Shiren team also joined the queue for foreign searches.

The search and arrest operation was undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. By daybreak, Chi Ying's team had already expanded the search range by [-] miles, but still could not see any progress, and had already started the return journey.Chi Ying couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief. If he couldn't be captured overnight, it is very likely that Xu Hong and the people in the Guanzhong Military Division who supported him had successfully broken through the siege.

But what Chiying didn't expect was that the group of them had just returned to Chezhanggou when they ran into the turtledove escorted by A Jian who had just taken the head from him, which almost made Chiying break out in a cold sweat.
