First Secret Agent in History

Yun Zhonghe's expression was very complicated.

From shock to surprise, then to nervousness, and finally to calmness.

It felt as if he had just recognized Yan Qianqing.

Yan Qianqing didn't seem to want to reveal anything to him. She sighed and said: "Master Yun Zhonghe, I recognized you the first time I saw you. I was very nervous at the time because I was worried that you would take me too. I recognized you. But you didn’t recognize me the second time, the third time, the fourth time, and the countless times. I breathed a long sigh of relief, but I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.”

Yun Zhonghe really didn't recognize him. Even on the way to Rosemary Valley last time, when Taoist Okita came to see him off, he still didn't recognize him.

"Should I be proud of my excellent acting skills, or should I feel lonely that you have forgotten me?" Yan Qianqing said: "I remember you all the time and regard you as my biggest enemy, but you gave me I have forgotten that even if I stand in front of you, you won’t recognize me. This world is really unfair.”

At that time, Yan Qianxing was about to be cut in half. Zhou Li couldn't save Yan Qianxing. There was really only one person who could save him, and that was the Supreme Emperor.

Yun Zhonghe once again looked at Okita Daochang for a long time. He really couldn't tell that it was Yan Qianqing. Even now, he couldn't tell clearly, not even in his eyes.

"You want to tell from my eyes that I am Yan Yingying?" Yan Yingying said: "You still can't recognize it, right? It's not because I am so powerful that my eyes have changed, but you haven't noticed my eyes before. , I am not in your world, so of course you can’t recognize me. Just like Jing Zhongyue can definitely recognize you at a glance, but Leng Bi can’t recognize you.”

"Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself anymore." Yan Qianqing said: "Master Yun Zhonghe, three months ago, you sent Prince Zhou Li to Rosemary Valley, and I went to see you off. What I said to you when I said goodbye. ,do you remember?"

Of course Yun Zhonghe remembered that Yan Qianqing told him to retreat bravely. Although he didn't say it clearly, Yun Zhonghe heard it clearly. Yan Qianqing told him not to come back and stayed in Rosemary Valley with Prince Zhou Li.

Yan Qianqing said: "Do you know why I said those words to you?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "You don't want to protect me, do you?"

Yan Qianqing said: "Of course not, it's just a final test for you. It's been three and a half years since you came here, right?"

It's been three and a half years.

Yan Qianqing said: "You will not be in the Daying Empire for more than half a year. Your contact time with Feng Xingmi and Emperor Daying is very short. We feel that you should not have too many emotions. You are the only person in the Daying Empire who has the deepest emotions." It should be the fourth prince who wins. And you have been in the Great Zhou Empire for three and a half years, eating the food of the Great Zhou, drinking the water of the Great Zhou, and having so much contact with the Great Zhou Empire. So we think maybe, in case, , your heart has changed, your loyalty is no longer to the Great Victory Empire, your heart is already to Great Zhou."

Yun Zhonghe was silent.

Yan Qianqing said: "This time I am sending Prince Zhou Li to Rosemary Valley. If you stay in Rosemary Valley with His Highness Zhou Li, it proves that your heart is very conflicted and you don't know how to choose. You are not willing. You are unwilling to harm the Great Zhou Empire, but you are not willing to harm the Great Victory Empire. This proves that you already have feelings for our Great Zhou. But a month later, you still returned to Great Zhou without hesitation, which proves that your will is very strong. Resolute, you are still loyal to the Great Victory Empire, and you are anxious to return to Great Zhou just to carry out the mission you have not completed. This result makes us very sad."

Damn, there is really no trace of this kind of temptation, the scheming is really too deep.

"Let's go, Lord Yun." Yan Qianqing said calmly: "Come to a place with us."

Yun Zhonghe followed Yan Qianxing, and the two of them strolled on the street. Yun Zhonghe still looked at Yan Qianxing from time to time, as if he wanted to connect with the Yan Qianxing in his mind.

But the two of them never spoke again.

After a long while, Yan Qianying suddenly said: "I thought about four years ago again, when I tricked you and Yingqi, and felt that I was about to win a great victory. I was really proud of it. At that time, our Great Zhou Empire was about to be destroyed. It was a complete victory. The result was that all the previous efforts were wasted, which is really sad. It was just a little bit close, just a little bit close.”

"So..." Yan Qianqing looked at Yun Zhonghe and said, "Even at this time, I don't feel any pride in my heart, nor do I feel that I am going to win you."

Yun Zhonghe didn't say anything, and the two of them kept walking.

Then they came to a secret house, which was a safe house in the Black Ice Platform of the Great Zhou Empire. A secret door was opened, and an underground secret passage appeared, which continued to spread, very deep.

At the end of the underground secret passage, there is a door.

"Grand Governor." Yan Qianqing bowed and saluted.

Nangong Cuo bowed and said, "Master Yan."

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but look at Nangong Cuo. What role has this person been playing? Was he loyal to the Emperor from the beginning? It doesn't look like it either.

Nangong Cuo said: "Master Yun, there is no need to look at me like this, I am also a blind person."

Yun Zhonghe understood that Nangong Cuo was a pun.

First of all, Nangong Cuo was not loyal to the Supreme Emperor from the beginning. He had been betting on both sides, and neither side was offended.

Secondly, he didn't recognize Yun Zhonghe, and it was Yan Qianqing who told him.

Yun Zhonghe said: "Congratulations, Lord Yan, I will take over as the Commander-in-Chief of Black Ice Platform soon."

Yan Qianqing laughed at herself.

"Please sit down." Yan Qianqing said.

Then the two men sat down across the table.

Yan Qianqing said: "Master Yun, I actually talked with the Supreme Emperor about your loyalty. I said that you are very willful. You are completely controlled by your own emotions and will not be moved by power at all. So once you decide to be loyal, you will never be moved by power." Nor will you betray, unless the object of your allegiance is no longer worthy of your allegiance."

Yan Qianxing poured Yun Zhonghe a cup of tea.

"The Emperor is kind and kind. He has always been like a spring breeze to you, like a grandfather and grandson, so he doesn't want to face each other coldly, which is so disrespectful." Yan Qianqing said: "So before meeting you, I have to go through a procedure. "

Yun Zhonghe said: "Master Yan Qianqing, you have already figured out my identity, but you have always failed to reveal it. Why don't you keep pretending? Now you want to reveal it?"

Yan Qianqing said: "Because you also saw through it? In this case, there is no point in showing affection."

Oh yes!

Prince Zhou Li accidentally fell into a coma and became a vegetative state. The Supreme Emperor seemed to have relapsed, becoming young and strong, and could not be hidden from anyone who wanted to know.

Even Lord Yu Zheng noticed it and was disheartened and ready to resign, let alone spending time with Yun Zhonghe day and night?

The Supreme Emperor must have noticed the change in Yun Zhonghe's attitude, so the relationship between the two of them was already very awkward. Both of them felt it, so there was no point in pretending.

So, you can pretend to be benevolent and righteous in this world. As long as you can pretend to be benevolent and righteous for the rest of your life, and keep it in the coffin, then your benevolence and righteousness will be real, even if you are just pretending.

But at the most critical moment, the Supreme Emperor decided not to pretend, because his goal had been achieved, and his true colors would inevitably be revealed.

The two fell silent again.

Yan Qianqing said: "You have also seen that the Supreme Emperor has rejuvenated and extended his life. If he continues like this, he can live for forty years. Most of this is due to you, because you got that elixir from Rosemary Valley."

Yun Zhonghe was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, even if I didn't get this elixir, the Supreme Emperor would have got it, but the price would be much higher."

Immediately afterwards, Yun Zhonghe suddenly said: "Last year, the Supreme Emperor went into seclusion for forty-nine days, but he never woke up and almost died. Is he pretending?"

Yan Qianqing said: "I don't dare to guess anything about the Supreme Emperor."

Yun Zhonghe thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, he is pretending. He is intimidating Rosemary Valley. You must hurry up, otherwise when he is really dead, even if you Rosemary Valley has any magic elixir, It’s too late.”

A faint sarcastic smile appeared on Yan Qianzhe's lips.

Yun Zhonghe trembled suddenly. Could it be that the truth was deeper than he expected? Even more amazing?

Is this Supreme Emperor more unfathomable than he imagined?

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Yan Qianqing said: "Let's get back to the business. Assume that the Supreme Emperor lives to be one hundred and twenty years old. And now that Prince Zhou Li is unconscious, we will find a way to freeze him until he is forty. If he wakes up in the next year, he can still succeed to the throne by then, right?"

"Hahaha..." Yun Zhonghe said: "Do you really think so? Master Yan Qianqing, you disrespect me so much by saying such things. You completely treat me as a fool."

Not to mention that freezing for forty years sounds nonsense. The most important thing is, is it possible for the Supreme Emperor to let Zhou Li succeed to the throne? It is completely impossible. With his character, after extending his life to 120 years, he may want to live forever again.

Of course, there is no immortality in this world, but now that he is strong and strong, he can still give birth to another child and inherit the throne.

His Highness Zhou Li already had a deep grudge with the Supreme Emperor. How could he be allowed to succeed?

"Okay, let's not talk about this and come to the point." Yan Qianqing said: "The Supreme Emperor is as close to you as my grandson, so of course I don't want to turn against you. You are unparalleled in wisdom and have made great contributions to him, so he I want you to truly be loyal to the Zhou Empire and truly become the right-hand man of the Supreme Emperor."

Yun Zhonghe said: "Master Yan Qianqing, aren't you the right-hand man of the Supreme Emperor?"

Yan Qianqing said: "I'm just an incompetent person."

"Hahahaha..." Yun Zhonghe said: "This is the most hypocritical thing I have ever heard. If you are incompetent, there will be no capable people in this world. You, Yan Qianxing, are the smartest person I have ever seen. .”

Yan Qianqing said: "Master Yun, do we really want to praise each other like this?"

Then, Yan Qianqing said: "The Supreme Emperor has a decree, and Duke Ao will accept it."

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an edict saying that Ao's great meritorious service is unparalleled in the world, and he can be crowned Prince Ao. He is hereditary and will not be replaced. I admire this!"

As soon as this decree came out, Yun Zhonghe was slightly startled, and Nangong Cuo next to him was also startled.

Become a king? !

Nowadays, there is no king with a different surname in the Zhou Dynasty. The Shi family has been demoted and is now the Duke of Zhenhai.

This Duke himself is half a level lower than Yun Zhonghe's Duke Ao.

Being canonized as Prince Ao is equivalent to royal treatment.

Because Zhou Li was named Prince of Yin before he was canonized as the crown prince.

There has always been a saying that the one-word king is the real king, and the two-word king is the miscellaneous king.

Therefore, Prince Liang, Prince Su, and Prince Li are all kings of one word, while King Zhenhai is considered the king of miscellaneous names.

During the Dayan Dynasty, the Ying Prince Clan has now become the Great Ying Empire. The Zhou royal family has now become the Great Zhou Empire.

Emperor Wan Yun had eight two-character names, and only two were crowned kings, Zhou Li and Zhou Ji. The remaining sons were only dukes.

So this Prince Ao is definitely treated like a royal.

Yan Qianqing said: "But you have to prove your loyalty to the Supreme Emperor, and you have to break with the Daying Empire."

Then, Yan Qianqing waved her hand.

"Rumble..." The stone door in front opened, and a person was locked inside.

With disheveled hair and a half-inch beard, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and his face could no longer be seen clearly.

This... who is this person? !

Soon Yun Zhonghe thought that he was the fourth prince of the Da Sheng Empire.

I've been locked up for four years. It’s been a long time, Prince Ying, a brother with the utmost integrity, this prince who is most unfit to be in the royal family.

The opening of the stone door seemed to wake Yingqi up. He trembled slightly and then opened his eyes.

Yan Qianqing said: "Prince Yingqi, let me introduce you. The fat and white man in front of you is Ao Yu, the son of Ao Xin. Of course, he also has another identity, Yun Zhonghe, the secret agent of the Black Dragon Platform of the Great Ying Empire."

As soon as these words came out, Ying Ji looked at Yun Zhonghe in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.

After a long while, his eyes turned red.

Because meeting at this time means that Yun Zhonghe has been exposed.

However, it is great news that Yun Zhonghe is not dead after all. Ying Qi always thought that Yun Zhonghe was dead, so after the truce, he still raised troops to attack the Zhou Empire and avenge Yun Zhonghe.

But after being imprisoned for several years, his nerves seemed to be numb, and although he was extremely excited inside, he seemed unable to express it.

"Brother Yun, not dead is... a good thing after all." Ying Ji said hoarsely.

Because I haven't spoken for so long, I almost forgot about it and stuttered a little when I spoke.

Yun Zhonghe choked and said: "Your Highness, it's been a long time."

Then, the two of them could no longer speak a single word.

Yan Qianqing said: "It's really touching to meet old friends. Prince Yingqi, I am Yan Qianqing, do you recognize me?"

Is this person in front of me Yan Qianqing? The fourth prince Ying Ji could not help but be shocked. He stared at him for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I don't recognize him at all."

Yan Qianqing laughed at herself: "It seems that my camouflage skills are really good. It's like playing hide and seek when I was a kid. Because you hide so well, the other kids forget about you and don't come looking for you until you get home for dinner." you."

Then, Yan Qianxing took out a scale and put a weight towards the left.

"Master Yun Zhonghe, the weight on the left is for you." Yan Qianxing took out another weight, placed it on the right and said, "The first weight on the right is your parents and family."

"This second weight is Princess Xiangxiang."

"This third weight is the title of prince."

"This fourth weight is your own life, Master Yun Zhonghe."

"This fifth weight is my future."

Then the entire balance has completely tilted to the right.

Yan Qianqing said: "Lord Yun Zhonghe, where do you go? You make your own choice. You are no longer alone, but there are a bunch of people around you, and you are the backbone. Once you die, countless people will die with you. .Your parents, family, your teachers, your old friends, etc.”

"We know that it is difficult to make you rebel with power, fame and fortune, but you can with emotion." Yan Qianqing pulled out a dagger and put it in Yun Zhonghe's hand and said: "Master Yun, go kill Ying Ying. We have broken with the Daying Empire. From now on, we are our own people. You are still the Supreme Emperor’s number one confidant and Prince Ao of my Dazhou Empire. Let’s do it.”

Yun Zhonghe held the dagger tightly and stared at the sharp blade in a daze.

"Master Yan Qianqing, Prince Yingqi is an important hostage. Is there no problem in killing him?" Yun Zhonghe asked.

Yan Qianqing said: "There is no problem. Our great Zhou Dynasty will usher in a thousand years of drastic changes. It is not a problem to win if one dies."

"Let's do it, Master Yun Zhonghe."

The fourth prince, Ying Ji, kept his eyes open from beginning to end, looking at Yun Zhonghe with a smile.

"Let's do it, Master Yun Zhonghe. As long as I kill you and win, you will be the Supreme Emperor's number one confidant, and you will still be as close as grandparents."

Yunzhonghe remained motionless.

Yan Qianqing said: "Master Yun Zhonghe, if you don't kill Ying Ying, you won't be able to live, your parents and sisters won't be able to live, and your teachers won't be able to live either. You will all die. Is this business worthwhile?"

"go Go."

"Kill Yingji, and it will be settled once and for all. If you can't bear it, you can kill with your eyes closed. We can turn our backs."

After saying that, both Yan Yingying and Nangong Cuo turned their backs.

Yun Zhonghe smiled sarcastically, then sat down, carving randomly on the table with his dagger.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Qianqing turned around.

"Don't kill?" Yan Qianqing asked.

Yun Zhonghe grinned and carved the word Tianyan on the table.

Yan Qianqian sighed softly and said: "Master Yun Zhonghe, we gave you a chance before, but you didn't cherish it."

Then, he waved his hand and closed Yingqi's cell door slowly.

"Since you don't want to kill, then just follow me." Yan Qianqing said.

Yun Zhonghe followed Yan Qianqing out and returned to the ground. The two of them were still walking on the street. It was about three o'clock in the morning, which was probably the darkest hour of the day.

The two people walked and walked and came to another courtyard.

"Come in." Yan Qianqing said.

Yun Zhonghe walked in, and Yan Qianqing in front opened another secret door, passing through many levels, and finally came to an underground secret room.

"Rumble..." The thick stone door opened. Inside was a cell, about ten square meters, with thick rocks all around.

"There are no underground secret passages in this cell." Yan Qianqing said: "There is no Nangong San to help you escape. Lord Yun Zhonghe, please stay here for now, and I will report to the Supreme Emperor."

Yun Zhonghe came to the cell and sat down on a futon.

Yan Qianqing said: "Lord Yun Zhonghe, the Supreme Emperor gave you the last chance, but you didn't cherish it. You didn't kill Yingji and break up with the Daying Empire. So after this report, you may die. But don't worry, Even if I want to kill you, I will come and do it myself, so please wait a moment, I will come back within a few hours and tell you about your fate and judgment."

Then, Yan Qianqing walked out.

The stone door of the cell slowly closed again.

………………………………

Inside Qian'an Palace.

"Your Majesty, Yun Zhonghe is unwilling to kill the fourth prince to win." Yan Qiao said.

The Supreme Emperor nodded and said, "Sure enough, I was right. This is a willful and emotional child. It is impossible for him to betray the Great Victory Empire."

Even at this time, the Emperor's words still did not have any intention of turning against him, and he kept saying he was a good boy.

When it comes to hypocrisy, this person is considered the ultimate.

Yan Qianqing said: "If Yun Zhonghe really killed Yingjie, do you really want to make him a prince?"

"It's impossible to kill him, so there's no need to be canonized as a prince." The Supreme Emperor said: "But if he really kills Ying Ji, it means one thing. He wants to continue to lurk. He has a bigger threat. The intention is to win at the expense of others for this huge conspiracy. If this is the case, then he is a truly terrible person."

At this time, even Yan Qianqing felt slightly creepy.

Is this even a temptation? !

If Yun Zhonghe really killed Yingjie, would his end be even worse?

Is there anyone in this world who is more scheming than the Supreme Emperor?

The Supreme Emperor sighed: "You go deal with Yun Zhonghe secretly. This matter must not be leaked out. Don't let anyone know that Yun Zhonghe is Ao Yu. Otherwise, it will be a big joke. My number one confidant is actually Da Yu." The undercover agent who won the empire?!”

Yan Qianqing said: "What about the external caliber?"

The Supreme Emperor said: "Yun Zhonghe returned to Beijing in secret. He was always in the carriage. No one knew about it except the Tantai family. Then let's announce to the public that Duke Ao has a deep love for him, so he stayed in Rosemary Valley to accompany the prince. He will not come back until the prince is cured."

Yan Qianqing said: "Then the Tantai family, do you want to kill them all?"

The Supreme Emperor frowned and said: "Don't kill the whole family at every turn. Killing is the most incompetent behavior. Isn't Emperor Wan Yun's experience and lesson profound enough? When an emperor can only rely on killing people to intimidate his ministers, he will be looked down upon."

Yan Qianqing knelt down and said: "I obey the decree, the Supreme Emperor is unparalleled in his kindness."

The Supreme Emperor, wearing a linen robe, came to the window with his back on his back. At this time, it was dark outside.

He looked up first at the sky, then at the ground, and then at the sky again.

"Well, that one is the Ziwei star." The Supreme Emperor said: "The Big Dipper revolves around it in the four seasons. For thousands of years, people all over the world have believed that the Great Yan royal family is the Ziwei star. In the past thousand years, it has It’s all dimmed.”

Yan Qianqing raised her head and glanced up, then continued to bend down humbly.

The Supreme Emperor said: "You are looking at that star, which people in the world call Sirius. Is it getting brighter and brighter? Has it surpassed the Ziwei Star?"

Yan Qianqing said: "I don't understand the nature of heaven."

The Supreme Emperor said: "I don't need you to understand, I just want to ask if you are bright?"

Yan Qianqing said: "Yes, Sirius is brighter than Ziwei."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Where is that Yuan Tianxie?"

Yan Qianqing said: "Run away."

The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "Oh, it's really hard for you Black Ice Platform to keep an eye on him."

When he heard that Yuan Tianxie ran away, the Supreme Emperor remained very calm, as if he didn't care at all.

"Celestial phase?" The Supreme Emperor said disdainfully: "How can there be any celestial phase in this world? It's just a very distant planet."

Then, the Supreme Emperor said: "Go and do the work."

Yan Qianqing said: "I obey the order."

…………………………

Inside the dark underground cell.

"Rumble..." The huge stone door slowly opened again.

Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but open his eyes, and Yan Qingting walked in slowly. He held a wine bottle in his hand, came to sit in front of Yun Zhonghe and sat down cross-legged.

"Master Yun Zhonghe, do you believe in the heavenly image?" Yan Qianqing suddenly asked.

Yun Zhonghe was silent for a while and said: "I am very in awe of fate, but it's hard to say anything about the sky."

Yan Qianqing said: "The so-called celestial signs are the stars in the sky, that is, distant planets. They are very far away from us. Their movements have only laws and have nothing to do with us. People who believe in the celestial signs are afraid that they will sit in a well and look at the sky. You are a very blind person. Why does this heavenly sign have anything to do with your human affairs?"

"It makes sense." Yun Zhonghe said: "But the universe is ever-changing and the causal relationship is extremely mysterious. Who dares to say that it is irrelevant? I really don't dare to say too much about unknown things."

"It's funny." Yan Qianqing said.

Then, Yan Qianqing poured a glass of wine for Yun Zhonghe and said, "The Emperor has always said that he should be decent, so I came to say goodbye to you and strive for dignity."

He placed the glass of wine in front of Yun Zhonghe and suddenly asked: "Emperor Wan Yun, did he die with dignity?"

"It's not bad!" Yun Zhonghe said: "Although he died with his eyes closed, he did not cry bitterly when he died, nor did he plead bitterly, nor did he lose the integrity of the emperor."

Yan Qianqing said: "He was tortured too hard, his mind is haggard, and he wants to die."

Yes, Emperor Wan Yun was so tortured by the Supreme Emperor that he could neither survive nor die, and his spirit and will completely collapsed.

"Lord Yun Zhonghe, do you have anything else to say in the end?" Yan Qianqing asked.

Yun Zhonghe thought for a while and shook his head.

Yan Qianqing asked: "Are you so calm?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "It's not that I'm calm, it's that my explanation is of no use."

"That's true." Yan Qianqing said, "Then Master Yun, let's go on the road. It won't be painful."

Yun Zhonghe looked at the glass of wine in front of him. There was no peculiar smell, only the aroma of wine.

Colorless and odorless highly toxic.

Yun Zhonghe took a long breath, then picked up the wine glass and drank the wine bit by bit.

Just a moment later, Yun Zhonghe's face suddenly twitched.

A wave of darkness came.

Covering his brain, covering his spirit and soul.

He tried to keep his eyes open, but they kept getting darker.

I don't close my eyes, I don't close my eyes.

But unable to resist the darkness at all, Yun Zhonghe slowly closed his eyes and leaned over.

Breathing stops, heartbeat stops.

Yan Qianqing sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless, quietly watching Yun Zhonghe fall.

After a moment, a figure suddenly split out of the darkness.

Depend on!

If anyone saw this scene, they would really be stunned.

There really is a person who can completely hide himself in the darkness without being able to tell at all. Not only did Yun Zhonghe not notice it, not even Yan Qianqing noticed it.

So when this figure came out, Yan Qianqing was startled.

He was indoors, hidden in the darkness, but as if completely invisible.

This person was the Supreme Emperor. He lifted up his cloak, walked to Yun Zhonghe, opened his eyelids, and took a closer look.

Neither eye was spared.

"Strong light!" said the Supreme Emperor.

Then, a bright light suddenly lit up. This was the same slide machine that Yun Zhonghe had made before. It used white phosphorus burning strong light and a concave mirror to focus the light. The dark cell instantly became extremely bright and dazzling.

The Supreme Emperor shone a bright light on Yun Zhonghe's eyes, looked at them carefully for a while, and then shook his head in disappointment.

I checked Yun Zhonghe's breathing, but it was gone.

I pressed the pulse on his neck again, but it was gone.

"Forget it..." The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Extinguish it."

After destroying the white phosphorus, the whole cell fell into darkness again.

"Let's go." The Supreme Emperor said.

Yan Yingying immediately knelt on the ground, motionless, and the Supreme Emperor walked away slowly.

Three years have passed.
