"Thank you very much, Nie Shuai. The daughter of the people, thank you very much, Nie Shuai."
Zhang Mengqi was about to kowtow as she spoke. Nie Ze quickly helped her up with his own hands, as if he couldn't bear her bow.
In the eyes of others, this scene showed that Nie Ze was elegant, but in Han Yun's view, he felt that Nie Ze was guilty of this woman.
interesting.
"There is no need to be too polite. After all, he can be regarded as my commander's soldier. Now he is living abroad, and I have the responsibility to bring him back.
In this way, these five hundred Zhenbei troops will set off tomorrow morning. You come early tomorrow morning and go with them then. "
"Okay, thank you very much Nie Ze, the civilian girl has resigned."
Zhang Mengqi put the letter in her arms and went home to prepare dry food.
After she left, Nie Ze looked at her back and sighed heavily.
Turning his head, he happened to see Han Yun looking at him with a smile.
He also knew that with Han Yun's IQ, he must have seen the clues.
"Let's go and talk in the handsome tent."
After Nie Ze finished speaking, he walked straight towards the handsome tent.
Han Yun pulled Qi Xiaoyu and followed with Xiao Yuxin in his arms.
After arriving at the handsome tent, Han Yun asked,
"Tell me, what is going on? Is that Zhang Xiaoyu the spy you sent to Loulan Kingdom?"
Qi Xiaoyu was shocked when he heard this.
"Spy? Isn't he a traitor? Why did he suddenly become a spy again?"
Han Yun smiled slightly and said,
"If he is really a heartless man who is treasonous to the country and his family, our Nie Shuai will not be so concerned and just let him fend for himself. Why would Zhao Long and Xie Xing be specially asked to bring him back?
And I think he seemed to feel guilty about Zhang Mengqi, so he figured out the inside story. "
Nie Ze smiled bitterly and said,
"I really can't hide anything from Mr. Hou. It is true that Zhang Xiaoyu is our army's spy in Loulan Kingdom, but it was not specially arranged by me.
But he stayed there of his own free will.
He was really just an ordinary soldier. I didn't even know him. After he followed the mission to the Western Regions, he first passed through the Kingdom of Hami and then the Kingdom of Loulan.
In both countries, he found a large number of Central Plains slaves, living a miserable life that was worse than pigs and dogs.
You also know that our Central Plains is vast, rich in resources, and has a large population, while the Western Region is barren and has a small population.
In order to increase productivity, countries in the Western Regions often enter the western part of Longchuan and Qinchuan, plunder our Dachuan population, and bring them back to their country to be slaves.
Sometimes, domestic human traffickers also abduct women and children to go to the Western Regions and sell them to them.
In various countries in the Western Region, Central Plains slaves are one of the most in-demand goods. They buy and sell slaves to each other and oppress slaves. The life of the Central Plains people there is not worth as much as a sheep. .
He saw too many Central Plains people living a life that was worse than death. After arriving in Loulan Kingdom, he went to see the envoy and asked him to let him negotiate with the countries in the Western Regions to redeem those Central Plains people.
But the envoy disagreed, thinking that there was no need to waste so much money, and it was impossible for the Western Regions to release the Central Plains people back. A fierce quarrel broke out between the two, and he was beaten with a military stick.
This is where the rumor that he almost killed the messenger came from.
After he learned about this rumor, he took advantage of it and told his soldiers that he would stay in Loulan Kingdom and try his best to help the Central Plains slaves survive, and use himself as a spy to collect intelligence in the enemy's territory.
He said that he would wait until the day when Master Wang broke through the Western Regions and provide assistance to Master Wang.
He said that he would not come back until he saw these Central Plains people return to their motherland.
Since then, he has stayed in Loulan Kingdom, because Loulan Kingdom is the country with the largest number of slaves in the Central Plains.
The population of Loulan Country is sparse, so the demand for slaves is also greater.
After he stayed in the Loulan Kingdom, he gained the trust of the Loulan Kingdom's senior officials by relying on the bitter tricks he had been beaten before. He also relied on his talent in poetry and books to obtain a high position in the Loulan Kingdom. His official position rose steadily, and the Central Plains slaves who were protected by him More and more.
There are not many talented scholars in Loulan Kingdom, so he has a unique advantage there.
In this way, he stayed there for five years.
He provided us with a lot of intelligence, allowing us to grasp the enemy's movements.
Just like this time, the Loulan Kingdom assembled an army of 200,000 people and devoted all its efforts to invade Dachuan. He found out the news and immediately told me via Feige.
In the past five years, I have sent him several letters or flying pigeons to ask him to come back, but he has always rejected me.
He said that if he came back, the people in the Central Plains over there would have to live a life worse than death.
He said that the day Master Wang broke through Loulan was the day when he returned to his hometown. "
After listening to Nie Ze's words, Qi Xiaoyu was moved and shed tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with shame,
"It turns out he didn't betray us. I blamed him wrongly. He is the real hero.
Carrying all the misunderstandings and infamy, it is already very difficult for him to live alone in a foreign country. He also has to endure the blank stares and doubts, and works hard to climb up, just to make his compatriots in a foreign country live a better life.
It's so difficult for him. In comparison, those of us who can kill the enemy in an honest way are too relaxed and happy.
He has played with me since I was a child and taught me how to read and write. He is so kind to me, but I have misunderstood him and scolded him for so many years.
Poor Brother Zhang, he must be working very hard. "
Han Yun smiled and said,
"You were a heartless person just now, and now you call me a good brother. You are such a fickle person."
Qi Xiaoyu's face turned red, he raised his pink fist and hit Han Yun's chest hard, and cursed,
"You still make fun of me. I don't know about it. Who knows about these hidden secrets?"
"Kill him, beat him to death."
Xiao Yuxin was full of rebellion, cheering Qi Xiaoyu on.
Qi Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at Han Yun who was laughing non-stop, then looked at Nie Ze and said,
"Why haven't you clarified it for them all these years? If you had clarified it earlier, we and the neighbors wouldn't have scolded him, and Sister Mengqi wouldn't have to shed tears every day.
You could have told her just now, why do you keep hiding it? "
Nie Ze smiled bitterly and explained,
“Every spy who goes deep into the enemy’s country and engages in espionage activities is extremely dangerous. He or she has to keep his or her head tied to the waistband of his or her pants.
Those of us at the rear must keep their secrets secret and cannot hold them back.
We can plant spies into the enemy's country, and the enemy's country can naturally plant spies into our country.
Once this news is leaked from my mouth, it may be detected by spies from the enemy country. Once the news is spread back to their country, you can think about the consequences they will face.
Since they have chosen this most difficult and dangerous path, they must be prepared to suffer infamy.
Fortunately, this time Zhao Long is going to break through Loulan, and our hero can also go home.
When the time comes, we can also hold our heads high and tell the people that not only those who stand in the light are heroes.
Those who endure humiliation and bear the heavy burden in anonymity and hide in the abyss of the enemy's country are even more worthy of respect. "
