Many people are confused about the difference between Jinyiwei and Jinyiwei. In fact, since the reform, everyone inside Jinyiwei knows that this organization has been divided into three.
The Military Intelligence Bureau is responsible for spying on foreign military intelligence, with Director Liu Shouyou; the National Security Bureau is responsible for monitoring officials and public opinion, with Director Wang Tong; the Internal Intelligence Bureau is responsible for the internal supervision of Jinyiwei, with Director Lu Zanyuan. In the legend of the Jinyiwei grassroots, the former Jinyiwei commander Qianshi Xiao
Dong is in charge of a department called the Secret Guard, which is under the direct command of the emperor. Its main task is to monitor senior officials of the Jinyi Guard and so on - in fact, it is not a legend.
As for the Jin Yiwei who were responsible for guarding the residence and other matters in the past, as well as the Han generals, inner court guards, etc., they were all separated from the Jin Yiwei sequence, and were placed together with the Royal Horse Supervisor in the Gongwei Department, under the supervision of the Palace Minister.
Chen Hongyou is one of the more than 8,000 military intelligence agents. Since the imperial court decided on the Luo Wilderness Strategy, his team has been operating on the northwest grasslands for several years. When operating on the grasslands, they wore the clothes of herdsmen and ate dried meat.
, drinking mare's milk, Chen Hongyou has long been accustomed to the smell of his body.
When the army comes to the west, Chen Hongyou and Ma Dong's messengers go to the Golden tent of Zaktu to deliver orders. They have to put on Han clothes again - the uniforms of the military guards are red with exquisite patterns embroidered on them.
It should be mentioned that this pattern is the symbol that distinguishes the military status of Jinyiwei from the national security, but it is difficult for outsiders to see the difference.
When Chen Hongyou was galloping on his horse, his uniform was whistling in the strong wind. Although he was the general flag of the Western Region Bureau of the General Administration of Military Intelligence, he did not receive the honor of wearing the flying fish uniform.
However, it is not only the Feiyu suit that is the most beautiful one. From a distance, the red drag strip looks like a ball of fire, dancing on the grassland.
Every time Zade, the yellow horse under his crotch, takes a big step, he on the horse is like flying in the clouds and mist. - Last year at the horse market, Chen Hongyou, who loves horses very much, could see at a glance that the horse dealer was holding the horse.
It is definitely a hybrid of Dawan horse and Qinghai Cong. It is rare to meet but not to seek.
Two complete firefox skins, plus 600 kilograms of wheat - all the money was recovered today. Without this horse, Chen Hongyou, like his colleagues, would have lost his life in front of Zaktu Khan's golden tent in Oirat.
.
Zaide had already chased his pursuers out of sight, but Chen Hongyou did not dare to slow down his horse. He endured the severe pain and reached out his hand to touch his back to determine whether the arrow that penetrated three points of his body was
Still bleeding him.
After touching the wound, he opened the compass cover on horseback and adjusted the direction slightly. Then he looked helplessly at the sky. Under the blue sky, the gray falcon with a leather rope tied to its foot was still circling - giving instructions to the pursuers.
direction of escape.
He did not have a longbow that could reach the flying height of the gray falcon. As for using a blunderbuss to hit the flat-haired beast, Chen Hongyou thought that his accuracy would not be that good. He touched the neck of the horse under his crotch and comforted it gently -
—Hopefully it will continue to hold up.
But the horses needed water and some dry food, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hold on for too long. The pursuers behind him had at least two horses, and Chen Hongyou felt discouraged again when he thought of this.
He looked around, hoping to see a forest. As long as he could get into the woods, there would be a chance to escape. However, within the scope of his vision, not only were there no woods, but there was also water that looked like white water, lying across his path.
direction.
Zade's pace became slower and slower. It snorted and flapped its ears, indicating to its owner that its physical strength had reached its limit. Chen Hongyou had no choice but to slow down the horse, took out a handful of dry feed from the pocket on the horse's back, and placed it on Zade.
He put it in De's mouth and let him eat it.
When the two of them walked to the river, Zade rushed a few steps and went to the river beach to drink water. Chen Hongyou slowly got off the horse, took out a piece of dried meat, and chewed it hard, hoping to restore his strength as soon as possible. At the same time, he
I touched my back to judge whether I would die due to water getting into my wound after swimming.
At this time, the gray falcon disappeared in the sky, and was probably returning to its owner to receive the reward of meat sticks - this meant that the pursuers were very close to him, perhaps only twenty miles away from him.
Thinking of this, Chen Hongyou looked back and looked at the road. Then he rubbed his eyes fiercely, because a carriage appeared on the way. The two-wheeled carriage was bulging, and from a distance it looked like herdsmen moving in pursuit of water and grass.
appearance.
Behind the carriage, four horses were tied. From a distance, two of them were obviously taller than ordinary Mongolian horses, and Chen Hongyou was excited.
He took out his binoculars and looked carefully at the small team on the river beach - there was a herdsman riding a horse next to the carriage, with a child sitting in his arms. The man in the driver's seat looked obviously handsome from his body and clothing.
It was a woman, her head and face covered with a scarf. Behind the carriage, there were more than a dozen sheep, following the carriage and eating the grass on the ground.
Chen Hongyou put away his telescope, took off the blunderbuss from Zade's horse, and checked it again. Then he strenuously mounted the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and rushed towards the carriage, one man and one horse.
Although the sound of Zade's hooves was dull on the grass, before he could rush out a hundred feet, the man beside the carriage had already spotted Chen Hongyou. He put his hand on his forehead to block the western sun, and looked at Chen Hongyou, one man and one horse.
Chen Hongyou was not afraid of them running away. With Zade's speed and foot strength, the family had nowhere to go. The man probably also recognized this reality. He asked the woman to stop the carriage, handed the child into her arms, and then took off the horse.
The bow and arrows on his back were waiting for Chen Hongyou to express his intention.
Zaide was extremely fast and quickly rushed to the carriage. Because along the way he had not decided whether to kill people directly to get the horse or exchange it for supplies, so Chen Hongyou reined in the horse and opened his mouth but did not say anything.
For a moment, the two sides looked at each other speechlessly.
Looking at the man from horseback, he has a dark and red face, a sharp chin, big eyes, and a weathered face. Judging from his appearance, he does not look like the round-faced and narrow-eyed Mongolians that Chen Hongyou often sees, but more like a Han.
The man glanced at Chen Hongyou's red sword and Yanling sword, and tightened his hand on the long bow. Chen Hongyou saw his nervousness, grinned and raised his hands to show that he was not hostile.
The woman on the carriage looked at them without saying a word while holding the child. The child was about five or six years old, with a curious look in his dark eyes.
Chen Hongyou also saw the expression on the child's face clearly, and his thoughts of killing people and stealing goods immediately disappeared. He swallowed, pointed at the horse behind the carriage, and took out a cloth bag from his arms, which contained black tea bricks - he decided to do it first
If the herdsman doesn't agree, we'll talk again.
The man on the horse looked at Chen Hongyou blankly, as if he didn't understand what he meant. On the contrary, the child on the carriage understood, and raised his head and glanced at his father: "Dad, he wants to change to our horse.
"
Chen Hongyou was surprised because the child spoke Shandong dialect. He felt excited and asked quickly: "Are you Han?"
The man seemed to have finally come to his senses and nodded. Chen Hongyou was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Can you trade horses with me? I have a dozen golden beans and two tea bricks like this."
The man didn't answer, and looked at Chen Hongyou blankly. Chen Hongyou felt anxious, so he had to reveal his identity and said: "A certain family is the Jin Yiwei. Zaktu Khan has rebelled and wants to be detrimental to the Western Expeditionary Army. There are pursuers over there right away."
Come here, I really need your horse—can you help me?"
The man finally spoke, but he couldn't tell the accent: "How many days will it take for you to go back and report the news?"
Chen Hongyou said: "I don't know how far the commander's tent is from here. I need to swim across the river and then find the main force."
The man frowned and said, "Then your injury can't last, and you're still bleeding."
Chen Hongyou couldn't help but touched his lower back, and then he cupped his hands and said, "That's my business. I just need your help. Give me a horse - I don't want it from you in vain."
The man turned his head and glanced in the direction where Chen Hongyou said there were pursuers, and asked hoarsely: "How long have you been running? Do you know how many pursuers there are?"
Chen Hongyou became anxious again: "I have been running away from Zaktu Khan's tent for a long time, and I don't know how many pursuers there are! I asked, what on earth do you want to do before you are willing to change?"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sharp hawk cry in the sky, and the gray falcon appeared in the sky again. Chen Hongyou looked up, took off the blunderbuss from the saddle hook, and pointed it at the man in front of him: "I said, you
Do you want to change it or not?!" Seeing his sudden change of attitude, the women and children on the carriage all exclaimed.
The man's mouth twitched and he said hoarsely: "I'll give it to you. The pursuers are coming. Maybe my whole family will be killed. You -"
Chen Hongyou put his finger on the trigger and flicked the blunderbuss: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!"
"Why don't you want to kill all the pursuers?"
Chen Hongyou was stunned when he heard this, and involuntarily put down the blunderbuss, Huo Daodao said: "What the hell -"
"I am just chasing you. The pursuers will not exceed a ten-man team. You are armed with a blunderbuss and a long knife. Can you deal with four of them?"
Chen Hongyou laughed angrily, "What do you mean, you are responsible for the remaining six?" The man nodded and said, "If you have a mental arithmetic but no care, you can do it."
After hearing this, Chen Hongyou became suspicious and blurted out: "Who are you? Are you also from Jinyiwei?"
The man had a lonely look on his face, his eyes drooped, and he asked in a low voice: "What is Liu Shouyou doing now? Is he still in Jinyiwei?"
Chen Hongyou was extremely surprised and shouted loudly: "Who are you?"
The man did not answer. Chen Hongyou glanced at this strange man suspiciously and replied helplessly: "Now the Jinyiwei is divided into the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Internal Intelligence Bureau. Liu Shouyou is the boss of our Military Intelligence Bureau - my uncle, who are you?"
who?"
The man twitched the corners of his mouth, showing an expression that seemed to be crying or smiling, and said: "You save your life, and you promise me one thing. When you go back, you will never say that you have met me, okay?"
Chen Hongyou raised a hand and said: "I swear to heaven that if I tell you what happened to you, I will die!"
The man's mouth twitched, and he smiled and said: "I don't mean to make you swear. All you have to do is promise me." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand that had been hidden in the quiver behind the horse's neck. Chen Hongyou saw it at a glance.
, the little finger of this hand was completely broken off.
A flash of lightning flashed through Chen Hongyou's head, and he blurted out in surprise:
"You are Zhang...Zhang..."
Seeing that he reacted so quickly, the man sighed with a wry smile on his face: "Yes, I am Chamberlain. It seems... Director Liu has never forgotten me these years."
