The task was completed very smoothly.

But since last night, I haven't slept for a minute.

When we arrived at the crash course dormitory, it was already early in the morning.

This is equivalent to a day and two nights without sleep.

The whole person was almost paralyzed with fatigue.

Meng Shaoyuan lay down on the bed, and as soon as his head hit the pillow, he was already asleep.

I was dreaming all night.

Sometimes I dreamed that I was back in my own time, and sometimes I dreamed that the Japanese surrounded me, with their guns pointed at my head.

But even in his dream, Meng Shaoyuan was always warning himself:

My identity is that of a spy. No matter what, I cannot talk in my sleep.

Not a single word can come out!

He saw Ino Matsudaira pointing a gun at him, and then pulled the trigger with a ferocious expression.

"boom"!

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly jumped up from the bed.

sweating a lot.

There are no Japanese people, and I am still in my dormitory.

"Having a nightmare?"

Forehead?

Meng Shaoyuan turned around and saw that it was He Ruyi.

A basin filled with steamed buns fell to the ground, which must have been the gunfire in the dream just now.

"Old and clumsy."

He Ruyi leaned over and picked up the basin and steamed buns: "It's noon, and I saw that you haven't woken up yet, so I went to the cafeteria to get you some food. There are braised pork ribs in the cafeteria today, and they are very fragrant."

It's noon?

Good guy, how long did you sleep for?

In a tray, there is one meat, two vegetables, one soup, and two white steamed buns.

Meng Shaoyuan quickly got up and washed up.

He Ruyi peeled off the scalp of the steamed bun that just fell to the ground and said:

"Xiao Meng, Li Liangde has already made a situation report with me. He did a good job. The false information was sent out, and you also gained the trust of Matsudaira Ino. Unfortunately, as soon as the study is over, you will go back.

, it will be a troublesome thing to find 'Cheng Yinju' again."

"It's okay, Teacher He." Meng Shaoyuan put down the towel: "If you need me, I can rush back from Nanjing at any time."

"Well, you can only do this when you have no choice. Come on, eat quickly, young man, you won't be hungry."

Meng Shaoyuan took the steamed bun, took a bite, picked up a chopstick dish, and ate with gusto.

After all, I was young. After sleeping for so long, I was full of energy and all my physical strength was restored. I suddenly felt hungry and everything in my mouth was delicious.

He Ruyi looked at Meng Shaoyuan who was enjoying the meal, his eyes full of love: "Eat slowly, as the old saying goes, chew carefully and swallow slowly. Eating too fast is not good for the stomach."

"Uh-huh."

Meng Shaoyuan said this, but the chopsticks in his hands did not slow down at all.

After a while, two steamed buns, one meat and two vegetarian, and a bowl of soup were all eaten by him.

Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied.

"Young people have a good appetite after all."

He Ruyi smiled: "I am a half-grown man who lives in poverty. When my eldest son was at home, he was 16 years old. He could eat three big white buns in one meal. His mother always said that half of the family's rations were

It’s gone into this kid’s belly.”

"Where is your son currently employed?" Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.

"died."

ah?

Meng Shaoyuan was startled and said quickly: "Teacher He, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, if you die, you'll die."

He Ruyi sighed: "My eldest son joined the National Army at the age of 19 and was promoted to second lieutenant not long after. Later he fought with the Zhilu Allied Forces. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the two sides fought a decisive battle in eastern Henan. There was a battle at Puxi Ridge, which was said to be a great war.

, in fact, it was very lively with the shooting of guns on both sides, but in one battle, a total of five people died, and my son, unfortunately, was one of the five people."

This is so unlucky.

Meng Shaoyuan knew that when the warlords fought in a melee, it would be a decisive battle. In the end, not many people would die.

Sometimes both sides even fired their guns randomly into the air.

Marshal Feng brought hundreds of thousands of elites to sweep across the world, but a plane flew from the sky and manually dropped two bombs. In the explosion, hundreds of thousands of "elites" all ran away.

He Ruyi's son was also unlucky.

"Fortunately, I have three sons." He Ruyi was very calm when he said this: "The second son works in the government, and the youngest son is also a member of our Lixing Society. He is now working at Hankou Station. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can meet him."

"Where is your wife?" Meng Shaoyuan asked cautiously.

"Home." He Ruyi smiled: "My wife is illiterate and is a rural woman in northern Jiangsu."

Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Teacher, you used to work in Nanjing, and you personally selected me, but why did you leave and come to Hangzhou to teach?"

"It's not teaching, it's training agents."

He Ruyi's tone was somewhat self-deprecating: "As for me, I started this business relatively early in China, so I can be regarded as a veteran of the secret service. I remember that when President Yuan was still there, I became a secret service. Of course, I was not a spy at that time.

Called a spy... By the way, do you know where the word 'secret' comes from?"

Meng Shaoyuan shook his head in confusion.

Agent? Isn’t it a synonym for agent?

Of course, a spy is far from being as high-level as an agent sounds like.

"Back then, Nobujun Aoki, the great Japanese secret agent who controlled everything in China, formed four mission squads during the Russo-Japanese War. Later, the word 'secret agent' evolved from Aoki Nobujun's 'special mission squad'

.”

He Ruyi said slowly:

"What about the later President Yuan? At that time, he was still the Minister of Military Training and the Governor-General of Zhili. Aoki Nobujun wanted President Yuan's help to instigate horse thieves in Manchuria and Mongolia to rebel and disrupt the Russian army from the rear and sides.

President Yuan Da found his idea very interesting and could find some opportunities for him. However, he was not allowed to cause riots in the Zhili Province under his jurisdiction, so he could kill two birds with one stone.

As a result, President Yuan selected thirty capable non-commissioned officers from his subordinates and sent them to Aoki for his encouragement in the name of escape."

Having said this, He Ruyi paused briefly: "I am one of those thirty non-commissioned officers."

"Ah!" Meng Shaoyuan exclaimed in low voice.

He Ruyi was not prepared to hide anything: "Aoki Xuanchun, from the thirty of us, ten people were carefully selected and included in the four task teams, and I was one of them."

Holy shit!

The teacher He in front of me is quite old.

"At that time, under the intelligence and cover passed by a Japanese female spy and the female teacher of King Karaqin, Soko Kawara, the four students of our mission class blew up and cut off the Liaohe River Bridge."

Meng Shaoyuan suddenly noticed that a trace of pain and self-blame flashed in He Ruyi's eyes.

He Ruyi sighed deeply: "Later, the Japan-Russia Liaoyang battle ended with Japan's victory. One of the very important reasons was the accurate information provided by the special mission team promoted by Aoki.

In a lamasery in Jinzhou, Aoki Xuanzhun gathered his subordinates and announced the end of the first phase of the mission. The current mission is to still organize the special mission team to recruit horse thieves active in Northeast China to form the East Asia Volunteer Army to cooperate with the regular army in combat.
