Chapter 480
Chapter 480
A few days later, in a dilapidated temple somewhere outside the city.
At the top, a man with a very broad back and arms that reach below his knees stands with his hands behind his back, facing an unknown statue that has lost its head, like a cold spear.
The whole person exudes a cold and mysterious aura.
Behind him, two men were kneeling on the ground, one was a man in black with a sallow complexion, and the other was a bearded man with an angry face.
It was Liu Changan and Gantuji who had suffered a crushing defeat in the past few days.
Liu Chang'an continued his extremely unlucky luck. He was like being cursed by the God of Fate. No matter what he planned, it would end up in a mess. Whoever got close to him would be in bad luck.
Especially the helpers that Aqinna specially assigned to him, not a single one was left.
Starting from Liu Cang at the beginning, to Xingnu, Anbagu, Asha, and Ermahun, they were all elite members of the Di tribe. As a result, except for Asha who died in battle, the rest all disappeared without a trace.
This time, Lord Aqinna went south to personally arrange the task, but he ended up contacting the Donglin Party twice to overthrow the eunuchs, and things became a mess again.
Jin Sanhe was beaten up and thrown out, and the three hidden men were even worse off. Not only were they regarded as enemies by Donglin, they were also beaten to the point that they could not take care of themselves.
These three hidden players were spies that Lord Aqina painstakingly cultivated and spent a great deal of money to support and infiltrate into Donglin. They were all officials of the fourth rank or above.
After this incident, they were not only excluded by Donglin, but also targeted by Feiyuwei.
Less than half an hour after the three spies were carried out of Yanzhi Hall, Shen Lian checked all the files of the three spies, plus Jin Sanhe.
Shen Lian's speed and sharp sense of smell make him worthy of being called the king of flying fish.
If the three of them were not fourth-rank officials, Shen Lian would have been arrested and tortured in Zhaoyu Prison long ago without any solid evidence.
In a word, not only can they no longer be used, but they must also assist in evacuating the capital as quickly as possible and clean up all traces, otherwise it is only a matter of time before they are caught.
It can be said to be a heavy loss.
On Gantuji's side, the losses were even more bloody.
The sixteen Bayala warriors in the nest were wiped out again, with only one left alive to testify against the person who did it.
The new captain of the Feiyu Guard, Wei Wu!
"I deserve to die. Please punish me, Lord Aqin." Liu Chang'an lay on the ground, nodding his head, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
After a series of failures, he no longer knew whether he could finish this meeting alive. If he were Aqinna, he would definitely not keep him alive.
Failure once or twice may be luck, but if it happens too many times, it is hard to explain.
In the spy business, not being able to explain clearly represents a risk and is fatal.
It is always the creed of spies to believe it exists rather than not believe it exists.
Moreover, so many people died and the loss was so great that even if he were to make himself a scapegoat and explain to King Di, he would still be executed today.
After Liu Changan apologized, there was silence... a long silence.
Liu Changan's body was shaking more and more violently, and cold sweat almost soaked his whole body.
But he didn't dare to look up, and lay on the ground waiting for the judgment of fate.
Until he was about to give up.
Aqi's hoarse voice finally rang out: "Punishment is meaningless. You are facing an extraordinary opponent, and... he is also playful."
Liu Chang'an immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and his loyalty and gratitude to Aqina reached a new level.
He was originally just a minor official in the border army. Because he offended the border army general, he was framed with charges and his family was destroyed. He was able to save his life only when the Dilu army broke into the city and the border army fled.
Then he gritted his teeth and surrendered to Di Lu.
Afterwards, he was chosen by Aqina and sent to the capital, and from then on began his career as a spy for the heart of Dali.
With Aqinna's support, he rose to higher and higher positions until he became a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
In the Battle of Dalinghhe in Liaodong, he obtained key city defense and strategic intelligence of the Li army.
As a result, in that battle, tens of thousands of Li troops were wiped out and three cities were lost in a row.
But after that, his luck took a sharp turn for the worse and he suffered complete failure.
In such a situation, and as a Han Chinese, Aqina could still tolerate him. His magnanimity and trust were rare in ancient and modern times, and he was worthy of Liu Changan's lifelong pursuit until death.
You know, Aqinna’s nephew Duoling also died in front of him.
"Sir, Wei Wu's strength has increased dramatically, and he has slaughtered our Bayala warriors. We must not allow him to be so arrogant." Gantuji said with gritted teeth.
He hid here and there for the past few days until he saw an eagle in the sky. He then followed the eagle's guidance and came to this dilapidated temple and met Aqinna.
He hated Wei Wu now, and his hatred was so intense that his teeth were itching.
"I have my own arrangements for this matter. You all go back. Without my secret order, you are not allowed to initiate any action. Just lie low." Aqina said.
The two looked at each other, feeling unwilling, but they could only respond and retreat.
As the commander-in-chief of the Eight Shadows, no decision of Aqina is allowed to be questioned or disobeyed.
This is the code of conduct for spies, even if there are doubts.
The two men retreated, and the dilapidated little temple returned to its deathly silence.
After a long time, Aqina slowly raised his head and looked above the rotten beams. There stood a figure, straight as a sword, standing there without him noticing.
Looking closely, he was wearing a bright flying fish suit.
"Coming?" Aqina said softly.
