Spy Family

Ahead is a battlefield, with several destroyed armored vehicles still burning, and a large number of drones lying on the ground, like pieces of insect corpses that have just ended their breeding period and fallen one after another.

Yang Guanghan avoided the battlefield and turned into a small road. He would rather take a long detour to ensure safety. Then he continued to tell the rumors about Lu Linbei.

"After leaving Paradise City, he quickly joined the Independence Army. At first, he was responsible for collecting intelligence and dealing with various forces. He was often deceived..."

"Lao Bei? Deceived?" Lu Yezhou didn't quite believe it. "It's good if he doesn't deceive others."

"I'm talking about the beginning. At that time, the Independence Army had just emerged. Although it attracted a large number of members, they were scattered in various places. They did not form a unified force and did not receive the attention of all parties. Instead, they were frequently suppressed. In that environment Collecting intelligence is a difficult challenge for everyone. I won’t explain, but Team Leader Ye and Team Leader Zhen have been operating in Zhao Wangxing for many years. Once Zhai Wangxing’s power declines, it will be difficult for you to start work, right?”

"Haha, the environment has indeed become harsh, but our ambitions are small, so we don't find it too difficult."

"The ambitions of the Independence Army are not small. In short, Lu Linbei has been deceived a lot, both from enemies and allies. At that time, there were also disputes among the Independence Army in various places. Some factions even established their own factions and gave them different names."

"Well, I heard that they were either wiped out or returned to the independent army."

"Some of the leaders were also assassinated."

"I've heard about it too."

"This kind of thing is much rarer now. In the past few months, assassinations occurred one after another, so many places banned the flight of drones. Once discovered, they would be shot down regardless of military or civilian use."

"Paradise City is still banning it, causing a lot of trouble."

"There is no way. Drones are the most important means of assassination. There are also cyber attacks. The batteries of electronic devices can be remotely detonated. It is impossible to prevent them. I would rather control the vehicle myself now. The battery cannot be cancelled, but the network function should be used as much as possible."

"Mr. Yang just told those soldiers that they could send images in real time."

"Ha, for those people, it's easier to lie to them."

"Is Lu Linbei related to these assassinations?"

"He is one of the most important participants. He handed over the intelligence work to Qiu Xinyang and established a separate department called the 'Unconventional Combat Management Bureau', which was responsible for planning and implementing assassinations. His achievements were remarkable. Zhao Wangxing was on the list of ten At least four of the assassinations were related to the 'Extraordinary Bureau'."

Lu Yezhou couldn't help laughing.

"You don't believe it?" Yang Guanghan was slightly dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, it's just hard for me to imagine that Lu Linbei would become the leader of an assassination organization and have such a name... Have you heard about these things, or is there real evidence?"

Yang Guanghan showed even more dissatisfaction and said coldly: "Although our professions are different, we have one thing in common. We all rely on collecting information. Everything is what I have heard, and I will not look for any evidence, but I know what it is. What’s real and what’s fake.”

"Of course, when it comes to being well-informed, Mr. Yang is also a top figure in the eight planets. Not only me, but the entire Zhai Wangxing military intelligence department admires him very much. We often say that if Mr. Yang's help had been obtained earlier, Zhai Wangxing would not have been completely defeated in the war. ."

Although he didn't believe Lu Yezhou's words, Yang Guanghan was still very impressed and said with a smile: "I just have more friends. I will talk a little about this and reveal a few words about that. They will be collected here and filtered to become useful information."

Lu Yezhou smiled and nodded, "Is Lu Linbei still the leader of the 'Extraordinary Bureau'?"

"No, the more assassinations there are, the tighter everyone's precautions are. After the climax, the efficiency drops sharply. The Independent Army Extraordinary Bureau is still there, but the work content has changed, and it focuses more on protecting key figures of one's side. As for Lu Linbei, rumors It said he was transferred back to the intelligence agency and may have been on an independent commission."

"That is the most powerful department of the Independence Army."

"Yes, there are more than 300 members in total, more than ten of whom form the presidium, and Lu Linbei is among them."

"Huh?" Lu Yezhou didn't believe it even more.

"It's unexpected, but that's the fact. Major Lu is a character. It is said that before Guihai was deleted, he had done rigorous calculations to analyze the human beings on the eight planets and found out a number of important and promising figures. Lu Linbei was at the top. In third or fourth place.”

"Even the rankings are out?" Lu Yezhou was both surprised and amused.

"It's always been there, doesn't your Military Intelligence Office know?"

"Since the defeat of the war, our news has been very limited. It is true that we have never heard of rankings. Who is number one?"

"Of course it's Guihai himself."

"He's not human."

"He thinks of himself as human."

"Then this ranking is not accurate. Guihai was deleted, not even a byte was left."

"Hey, Guihai wants everyone to think he is dead. After a few years, he might make a comeback."

"Why... forget it, I'm no longer interested in Guihai."

"Leave the future to the future, leave the past to the past, and the present is our mission. With Lu Linbei here, you, Prince Zhai, have a considerable advantage."

"He has joined the Independence Army. He is more like a native of King Zhao. I am afraid he will not have feelings for King Zhai."

"You are friends. You grew up on the same farm. I know all these things. Lu Linbei may not remember Zhai Wangxing, but he will never forget his old friend. I guess this is the most important reason for you to meet Lu Linbei."

"Haha, I'd like to lend you your good words. I hope Lu Linbei still remembers me."

"Definitely. Even if he changes his star status, after the Independence Army takes control of King Zhao, it will still need the support of all major planets, especially your King Zhai."

"Mr. Yang thinks the Independence Army can win?"

"Unless Uranus's fleet can suddenly appear, otherwise, the expeditionary force will undoubtedly be defeated. The Peace Front has long existed in name only. Uranus's military seems to be still strong, but its morale is disorganized and its morale is low. No one can save it. This is what mercenaries do. The problem is that officers and soldiers from different planets don’t trust each other, and everything is driven by profit, so they can only win the war, not lose it.”

Seeing that Yang Guanghan spoke so eloquently, Lu Yezhou almost wanted to ask him why he hadn't joined the Independence Army earlier. After hesitating, he kept his words to himself. There was no need to offend the people sitting in the same car.

Two hundred kilometers is not far, but frequent detours more than double the distance. The two set out in the morning and did not enter the control of the Independence Army until noon.

The first checkpoint carefully inspected the vehicle and passengers, and then reported it to the superior. Half an hour later, they received a reply, confirming that the two people were indeed invited, and finally let them go, but sent two soldiers to sit in the back and said that they were Escort is actually surveillance.

The military uniforms of the Independence Army are relatively simple, but the weapons are very complete. Everyone has a multi-functional long gun and a protective pistol, and a network warfare instrument hangs on the waist. It is a square box that is bigger than a microcomputer. It's smaller, but that's what caused the Uranus' army a big headache. They developed a large number of weapons to deal with it, but they were always defeated after gaining a temporary advantage.

When Lu Yezhou remained silent, Yang Guanghan tried to strike up a conversation with the two soldiers in the back row. After failing three times, he gave up.

Xingzhou City was in a mess. When the Peace Front troops retreated, they deliberately destroyed a large number of factories and buildings. After the Independence Army entered the city, they could not even find a complete battery.

There are not many local residents left in Xingzhou City. There are no pedestrians on the street, only piles of construction debris. Vehicles pass carefully in the gap. The Independence Army has no intention of completely cleaning up the city. The war is still going on, and the ruins are a kind of cover.

Not long after entering the city, two soldiers in the back row got out of the car, and two more soldiers got on. They were a little more polite and gave Yang Guanghan directions.

The end point was a hotel, half of which was destroyed by the bombing, and the remaining half was standing alone, but most of the windows were shattered.

The Peace Front's missiles still land in urban areas from time to time, so the above ground is uninhabited, and only the relatively safe basements are of use value.

Yang Guanghan's friend is a businessman who did not join the Independence Army. He only supplied supplies to the Independence Army, making money while also gaining a certain amount of trust.

"Minister Qiu is a busy man right now. It's difficult to see him. But he said that the people sent by Mayor Fu cannot be ignored, so please wait patiently for a while."

"As long as I can meet someone, I can wait as long as I want." Yang Guanghan introduced without being picky: "This Mr. Lu Yezhou is from Zhaiwang. He came with me. He wants to meet another Lu Linbei." , you can tell how familiar they are by their last names.”

The man shook his head and said, "At least I can speak to Minister Qiu. As for Lu Linbei, I can't even confirm whether he really exists. He may be a real person, or it may just be a code name."

"There is indeed such a person." Lu Yezhou said with certainty, "We grew up together."

"Don't be too sure. There was probably a Lu Linbei in the past, but that may not be the case now."

"Huh? Can a person disappear for nothing?"

"Are there not many people who have disappeared for nothing in the past year? Some people have disappeared physically, but not their names. They have become a code name and a symbol... I will pass the message on your behalf. If there really is this person Lu Linbei, Minister Qiu will definitely I know that if he shakes his head, then the matter is hopeless.”

After his friend said goodbye, Yang Guanghan said: "If you have been exposed to war too much, you will feel that the world is unreal to some extent. Don't listen to him. We all know that Lu Linbei must exist."

In the evening of that day, Yang Guanghan was invited to a dinner party. The businessman friend reminded: "This is not a dinner party in Paradise City. Don't have high hopes. It would be nice to have something to eat."

"I'm not here just to eat. As long as I can see Minister Qiu, white water can also be used as fine wine."

Lu Yezhou was not invited and could only stay in the room in the basement of the hotel. The man did not find out about Lu Linbei. "I haven't had time to mention this to Minister Qiu yet. Please wait a little longer, Mr. Lu."

"I'm not in a hurry." Lu Yezhou smiled, knowing in his heart that this person was unwilling to help, so he had to find a way on his own.

At about nine o'clock in the night, Yang Guanghan did not come back, but the missiles from the Peace Front came. One of them landed nearby, shaking the other half of the hotel to the point of collapse. The basement became unsafe and everyone had to retreat.

Lu Yezhou was sent to a private house. There was no basement, which meant that the security was very poor. However, he was not a key protection target and had no place to complain.

After one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Yezhou was drowsily sleeping. When he heard the door knock, he immediately jumped out of bed. He didn't take off his clothes and shoes, so he could escape at any time.

The sound of footsteps came in, and Lu Yezhou asked into the darkness: "Mr. Yang, is that you?"

A female voice answered him, "It's me, Team Leader Ye, do you remember Su Yuxin?"

Lu Yezhou was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and immediately said: "Remember, where is Lu Linbei?"

"He went to Paradise City and asked me to entertain Team Leader Ye and protect your safety. Sorry, I was delayed by other things and came a little late..."

Lu Yezhou was shocked and then laughed, "This guy Lao Bei..."
