Sirens blared outside. The police car's cabin was lit with warm lights.
It was already dark, police cars and red and blue spotlights flashed alternately outside the window, and infantrymen carrying heavy firearms were shouting slogans outside. It was very busy outside, but the sound insulation of the car was very good, blocking the noise outside.
Suddenly, the door of the car next to me opened, and the noise came in from outside. The military academy man in Feiyu uniform squeezed into the carriage and sat down on the seat next to Shangluo. Although it was very crowded, he still closed the car door in order to prevent Shangluo, who had just come out of the cave, from being frightened by the noise outside.
The car became quiet again, but there was a soldier as strong as a calf, almost occupying Shangluo's entire field of vision.
"Drink it while it's hot. It's quite damp down there, so it will warm you up." He hooked it with two fingers and handed over a field lunch box.
Shangluo took it. Inside is a bowl of seaweed and egg soup. The seaweed is seaweed that has just been brewed with boiling water. The eggs are dried egg powder with green onions floating on it. By military standards, this bowl of soup actually looks pretty good.
"Thank you." He took a sip and it tasted very good. It is a standard and stable modern processed food that can make people miss the city life in Yingtian and the lingering smell of gasoline.
"You seem surprisingly calm?" The military academy wearing Feiyu uniform sat sideways with one hand on the headrest of his seat. This posture makes him look more approachable.
"I knew someone would come to save me. But I didn't expect that it would be Jin Yiwei."
Yes, the one he least expected to come was Jin Yiwei. It's like ordering takeout from "Lan Fong Yuan", a chain of tea shops run by the Nanyang Zheng family, and it turns out that the person who delivers the food is the Prince of Yanping himself.
But it is not impossible for Jinyiwei to appear here, because Jinyiwei may appear anywhere on the earth.
The Jinyiwei is probably the most famous spy organization in history. It was established in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, which was an ancient time that was so far away that it was unimaginable. Moreover, Jinyiwei has often appeared in various literary works even since the Wanli Year, not to mention today in the 4th year of Shaoping.
Everyone knows the existence of the Imperial Guard, just like Rome also has its own "Kripti" inner guard. But knowing the existence of Jin Yiwei does not mean that everyone knows what Jin Yiwei is doing - this also means that Jin Yiwei may appear anywhere.
According to limited public information, Jinyiwei has two branches, South Town and North Town. The more common ones are Beizhen Jinyiwei. Because Beizhen Jinyiwei are on official business, they are often captured by reporters at law enforcement scenes. And according to the rules, when Jin Yiwei handles a case, there must be "operators" wearing Feiyu uniforms and carrying embroidered spring knives at the scene.
The Nanzhen Jinyiwei is much more mysterious. Because Nan Town does not send out official missions, they send out imperial missions, and no one knows what the Nan Town Jin Yiwei is doing. Except during the imperial examination.
The day when the imperial examination is held is the only time when Nanzhen Jinyiwei can appear in the newspaper, and it will definitely be the front page headline. Because the imperial examination papers, from printing to correcting, were all held in the courtyard of the imperial prison. The papers could not be corrected, and the gentlemen who graded the papers in the Imperial College could not come out even a step, including the examiner himself.
Only then could the media capture a corner of the prison through the open iron gate—just a corner. Because the imperial prison itself is a prison, the gates of the imperial prison are linked to gates A and B. When the outer door is opened, the inner door must be closed.
But now, Shangluo knew that he had seen something powerful. He caught a glimpse of the military academy's badge.
An ivory waistband with patina. The three characters "Jinyiwei" are written on the letter, "Nanzhen Fusi" is written on the right, and "No. 26" is written on the left. In the middle is a nine-fold seal inlaid with cinnabar. I can't tell what the characters are, but it's probably a password.
"Are you the Jinyiwei of Nanzhen?"
"Yes." The military academy did not avoid the question, "Because there are some situations here in Yangzhou, we are on a business trip in Yangzhou now... Anyway, everything is fine now. I will send you back later. I have contacted your guardian. "
"Can you contact Lao Shang?" Shangluo looked up at him.
"You call him Lao Shang? Forget it, this is our own business, and this father-son relationship is quite good. In short, you can rest assured that I am in San Francisco now. I promised your father, so I will definitely I’ll look after you.”
There was an understatement on the military academy's face: "My name is Lu Huaiyang. Maybe your father has mentioned me to you?"
"Ah, are you Lu Qianhu?" Shangluo remembered that there was indeed such a person.
When "Old Shang" was still here, he would call Lu Qianhu every now and then, and there would be a long gap between each sentence. Now that I think about it, it must have been an overseas phone call that took signals from undersea phone lines, so the delay was relatively long.
"It seems that he didn't avoid you when he called. Your father...Old Shang is really careless. Those things should not be told to children. I can contact him now, do you want to make a call?"
Shangluo could sense that he was paying careful attention to his words. There is no intention to impose the "relationship between father and son".
"No need. He left without saying goodbye. There must be something urgent."
Shangluo still remembers that it was two months ago. The "old businessman" said he went out to buy a pack of cigarettes two months ago and never came back.
If he hadn't sent a postcard back from Alexandria in Rome, Shangluo might have thought he was going missing. There is a photo of him with the Alexandria Lighthouse on the postcard, which is indeed where it is.
"You guessed it right, it is indeed a big deal, and it is extremely urgent. The plan is very confidential. It is also a long-lost joint operation between Yujing and Constantinople... Have you finished drinking? Yes, drink clean. , don’t waste it.” He waited patiently and waited until Shangluo finished drinking all the food before reaching for the lunch box.
"I always feel like you're not very safe. How about... this"
Lu Huaiyang suddenly made a decision. He took back the empty lunch box with one hand and took off the belt tag from his waist with the other hand - holding it behind his back, his fingertips flashed with imperceptible light. Only when the lightning flashed into his pocket did he hand the sign over to Shangluo.
"Hold my badge. As long as you are within the confines of San Francisco, I will definitely come to rescue you within half an hour."
"But you gave me your belt, what will you do?"
"Your safety is important, and I have other identification documents, so you don't have to worry. But I want to tell you one last thing: Don't use my badge to do strange things. If you really do this, I will definitely I know. Your dad did it back then, so I remind you again, I will really know what you are doing with your belt card."
