Li Mu carefully left several joint marks in Chang'an City, and then began to wait patiently for the time for the joints to arrive.
Now in Chang'an City, it has become increasingly difficult for spies to get along.
There may be people from the Tang government everywhere, including the city guards, city management, and secret espionage departments.
In the past two years, countless spies have disappeared in this majestic city.
For people like them, there are basically only two truths about the disappearance.
One is to seek refuge with the Tang government.
Another one is to disappear from this world forever.
Those who can be sent to the Tang Dynasty have a very low possibility of betrayal, because they have too many things they care about left in Tubo, so those who are missing are really gone.
Sometimes Li Mu would also imagine that if Tubo became as beautiful as the Tang Dynasty, everyone would not have to fight and it would be good to live like this.
But he also knew the situation in Tubo, and fantasies could only be fantasies.
There was no one like Duke Tang Ping in the Tubo Kingdom. Although Zanpu was talented and strategist, the nobles were much more powerful than the powerful families of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they made any decisions, there were many constraints.
Coupled with the harsh environment and poor resources on the plateau, their lives were even more difficult than that of the people of the Tang Dynasty.
They used to think about marching eastward to the Tang Dynasty, but now that the Tang Dynasty is so powerful, they can only pray that they can resist the Tang Dynasty's attack.
It was still early before the agreed time, so Li Mu could only wander around Chang'an casually. What he didn't know was that every place he walked and every secret mark he left was seen by others.
The nanny car was temporarily converted into a spy car.
There are several large screens set up inside, and everything is sent through the camera installed in the necklace.
In addition to Tang Ping, Gou Shaoqun and Lu Yi, there was also the leader of the secret spy department in the capital.
Now he looks at Tang Ping as if he were looking at a god.
He knows more about Tang Ping's magic than many people, but now he can fully see and hear what the other party's spies see and hear. This...
Isn't this too bullying of the spies?
You must know that the Secret Intelligence Department also has many spies in other countries. Meeting someone like Tang Ping really feels... quite frustrating.
"This Tubo spy seems to be no different from ordinary people, and he also seems to be a good person." After watching for a while, Gou Shaoqun felt bored.
None of the exciting spy battle scenes in my imagination were there. What was the difference between this person and me wandering around Chang'an Street?
"Spies are meant to be like ordinary people, and everyone just has different positions. There is no distinction between good and bad." The leader of the secret spy department said with some emotion.
How many spies from other countries have been uncovered in Chang'an in the past few years, many of them are ordinary and extremely ordinary.
And they all do things for the benefit of their own country. There is really no distinction between good and bad. He also knows that many spies in Chang'an are because their families are under control, so even if they die or are tortured, few of them will. Choose cooperation.
In fact, the spies he sent from Chang'an to other countries did a lot of pickling.
Tang Ping also understands these principles, but sometimes he can't help himself.
If there is going to be a war, it is best to attack others yourself.
If there are going to be casualties, they better be other people's casualties.
Tang Ping also gradually understood that the word "great power" depends on whom it is used. If used on others, it is a derogatory term.
If you use it on yourself, it is a compliment.
Gou Shaoqun finally got bored, yawned, leaned against the car and took a nap.
Tang Ping came to him to install the equipment. He originally thought that there would be an intense spy battle. He even took the initiative to invite Ying to interact with the other party's spies on the grounds that he was a stranger.
Now after the excitement, I am still tired.
After sleeping until the gastrodia was dark, Gou Shaoqun was woken up by Tang Ping in a daze.
"The other party has contacted."
In the video footage, a similarly ordinary middle-aged man appeared, looking like an ordinary shopkeeper.
The location of the two of them was still in a secret room.
"Li Mu, haven't you been discovered?"
"Of course!" Li Mu nodded. When he came, he met the city guards and city management people, but he passed by them as if nothing had happened.
As he said this, he turned around and looked at the secret room: "This place is nice."
"Hey, you don't know that Duke Ping of the Tang Dynasty has a kind of iron bird that can fly freely in the sky. You can't hide below, so now the connections are safe only in secret rooms."
There was a hint of sourness in his words: "If we had that kind of iron bird, as well as clairvoyance and ears, what information could we get that we couldn't find? Why would you and I take such a big risk?"
Tang Ping was a little helpless when he heard this. After so many years of drone use, everyone in the entire Tang Dynasty knew about it, at least in Chang'an. Although some functions are a bit exaggerated, basically everyone knows what capabilities the drone has. Got it all.
Unexpectedly, these spies are now cautious enough to guard against their own drones.
"Has all the information been obtained?" Li Mu asked.
"It's done. The day after tomorrow, early in the morning, you will transform into a caravan going to Gaochang to buy silk from the Tang Dynasty. Among a hundred pieces of silk, there is a blue silk with a natural grimace wood grain on the shaft. It is very good. I admit it. The innermost part of that piece of silk is the information I want to bring back this time."
No matter how strict the inspections at various checkpoints in the Tang Dynasty were, it would be impossible to unfold every piece of silk to look at it.
This kind of silk is exported in large quantities. Rich people in the surrounding countries are proud to wear silk clothes from the Tang Dynasty. It is normal to transport silk silk out. Even the check at the checkpoint is to see if there are any other items that are not allowed inside. No one will take a closer look at the silk inside the exported goods.
"Okay, then the day after tomorrow I will take my things and take the direction of Gaochang, and then turn back to Tubo." Li Mu nodded, and after being silent for a while, he asked, "Is there anything you want to say to your family?"
He knew this shopkeeper in China. He had been in Datang for more than four years and had never been back once. Li Mu knew that he had two sons and a daughter at home.
"Well..." the shopkeeper smiled miserably: "Forget it, it's not safe to write a letter, not to mention that there is still more than half a year, and I will stay for five years. If I can get through the New Year, someone will come to replace me by then. ”
"Okay, in this case, I won't stay any longer. Although there is no curfew now, walking on the road at night is always a bit eye-catching." Li Mu gave the shopkeeper a unique Tubo etiquette.
The shopkeeper also made fists with his hands and crossed them on his chest, then bowed slightly.
The two hugged each other gently. Li Mu hesitated and said, "Be careful about the New Year."
"knew!"
Although they didn't say what the specific matter was, the shopkeeper just mentioned the hurdles of the New Year, and now Li Mu reminded the shopkeeper to be careful about the New Year.
That means they are probably planning something.
Several people in the spy car frowned. This Li Mu was obviously the one who returned to China with information. He should not have been involved in the New Year's event.
The shopkeeper of this cloth shop should be one of the participants, but they don't know his specific rank. Now that they have caught him, will they be able to get more information from him.
If not, will it alert the enemy?
"After Li Mu gets the information, capture Li Mu first!" Tang Ping said: "He will take a detour to Gaochang when he returns home. He will not arouse suspicion in a short time. He may not even be able to return to Tubo before the Chinese New Year."
"Let's try to instigate him first! See if we can get more information from him about other Tibetan spies staying in Chang'an, and then the cloth shop owner will find a way to install cameras and listening equipment on him. We must know before the New Year What the hell are they trying to do?"
When these Tubo people stayed in Chang'an to cause trouble during the New Year, they would definitely not be sending blessings to the Tang Dynasty, but they were just harboring bad intentions.
So they must be uprooted.
There was nothing unusual about Li Mu in the next two days. He ate and slept normally, and basically had no contact with anyone. He was just like a man who had bought goods and was greedy for the prosperity of Chang'an and wanted to spend two days here. ordinary businessman.
We even went to the Internet-famous Glass Bridge and the snack street there.
There was nothing strange about the cloth shop owner. The listener hidden in his boots did not receive any useful information.
But one time when I got off the carriage, a naughty kid suddenly rushed out and tore off the jade belt. The naughty kid's family was quite rich, and they were fine after paying the money.
But he didn't know that all this was arranged by the Secret Intelligence Department, because the other two jade belts in his home were carefully embedded with cameras by the Secret Intelligence Department.
After he returned home and put on new ones, his every move was under the surveillance of Tang Ping and the others.
"Ping Guo Gong, Li Mu took his caravan out of the city this morning. It was indeed heading towards Gaochang. In addition to silk, he also bought a lot of porcelain and our scripts."
"Okay, start closing the net!"
He hadn't received any information in the past two days, and Tang Ping was a little angry, and his mouth was blistering.
Because the New Year is getting closer and closer, if he doesn't know the other party's conspiracy, he will really have trouble sleeping and eating.
Now it depends on whether we can get any news from Li Mu.
Li Mu led the caravan, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. But now that he had safely brought his things out of Chang'an, he probably thought too much.
"Stop eating first!"
Following Li Mu's order, the people in the caravan began to stop to eat. In the entire caravan, he and his deputy were the only spies from Tubo.
The other people were all hired and didn't know anything about them. Everyone didn't think much about it. They took out the dry food they had with them and prepared to eat while resting.
At this moment, Li Mu saw someone who surprised him, the vendor who sold his wine bottle and necklace that day.
"How will you be here!"
Look at Datang convenience store.
