The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 249 Heshi Lieliangping

"The spy who died back then was also acquainted with this small leader. He always knew that the spy had a cousin who secretly helped the rebels, but he had never met him."

Then I also revealed some things that only my cousin would know.

He tested me a few more times afterward and finally believed me. I told him I didn't want to stay in Chang'an anymore and wanted to join the rebel army to avenge my cousin. He then agreed to take me back to the rebel base.

"when are we leaving?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning. Last night I told him to make some arrangements for my family in Chang'an. I'll definitely be back this morning. Then I immediately went to report to the leader, and that's when you caught me here."

"Among your Jin Kingdom spies, besides you, who else knows about this minor leader?"

"No one knew except me. If other unidentified people had appeared around me at the time, the leader would have become suspicious, so I always acted alone."

Moreover, being able to infiltrate the rebel army was a great achievement, and I didn't want others to steal the credit, so I only told the leader at first.

At that time, Qiu Chuji attacked, and he was too busy to pay attention. The leader told me to handle it myself first. Only just now did he ask me about my mission for the second time.

"How do I know what you're saying is true? You should know the consequences of deceiving me. I have a more interesting way to deal with those three brothers. I can skin you alive and keep you alive for a long time. Do you want to give it a try?"

“Sir, everything I said is true. The leader is currently in room number four of the Yunlai Inn in the south of the city. You can take me there to confront him. I can admit to him face to face that I am a Jin spy. I only ask for a quick death and would never dare to deceive you.”

"Very well, I'll believe you for now. What's the name of the person you're impersonating, and what's the name of that small-time leader?"

"The person the villain is impersonating is called Hu Qing, and the leader is called Liang Dafa."

Wu Chengyu was speechless. It turned out to be an acquaintance. What was this Liang Dafa? It was clearly the old man Liang he had first met. This guy was usually in charge of external liaison in the rebel army. He had tried to recruit Wu Chengyu into the rebel army after they met last time.

This time, he's fallen for a Jin spy again. It seems I need to talk to Yan Chunyu. It would be better for the old man to stay home as much as possible, chopping wood and grinding grain.

Now Wu Chengyu believed that the matter of the traitors infiltrating the righteous army could come to an end. As long as he killed the person in front of him and warned Old Man Liang, this crisis would be resolved.

It was truly a coincidence. If I hadn't stumbled upon it, that old man Liang would definitely have fallen for it.

With that thought in mind, he had basically settled the two things he needed to deal with tonight. He looked at Number One, who was determined to die, once again and asked.

"How long have you been an infiltrator in the Jin Dynasty's secret service?"

“I have been doing this for ten years.”

"So what was the name of the leader you met before? What was his position? What was his background? What was his personality like? What were his usual hobbies? Tell me everything you know."

"The leader's name is Heshilie Liangping. He is from the Heshilie family, a noble family of the Jin Kingdom, and is currently the deputy commander of the Jin Kingdom's Criminal Investigation Department."

"How many commanders and deputy commanders does your Jin Kingdom's Criminal Investigation Department have?" "One commander and two deputy commanders. The commander is Wanyan Gui, but he is old and has not been involved in affairs for a long time. The two deputy commanders are Heshi Lie Liangping and Wanyan Lin. They are both working hard to make merits so that they can take over the position of commander after Wanyan Gui steps down."

I'm on Heshi Lie Liangping's side. I don't know much about what's going on with Wanyan Lin, but I've heard that he's also eyeing the Shaanxi rebels. I don't know where he's gone; he hasn't shown up for a long time.

He Shilie's plan was to send people to infiltrate various martial arts sects to steal their skills, and even to gain control of them. However, the Quanzhen Sect's infiltration plan failed for some unknown reason.

Wu Chengyu lowered his head and thought for a moment. It seemed that the surname Heshilie was related to the Hesheli lineage of the Qing Dynasty nobles in later generations. Therefore, Heshilie Liangping could be considered the ancestor of Suo'etu.

As for the other commander, Wanyan Lin, the one I met when I first arrived at Black Tiger Mountain, the guy who met with Shi Shun and claimed to be the deputy commander of the Criminal Investigation Department, he was unlucky. He just happened to run into Wu Chengyu, who was wandering around at night. His final fate should be very tragic.

He probably saw the destruction of the Shaanxi rebels as a stepping stone for his advancement, so he secretly infiltrated Black Tiger Stronghold. His actions were extremely covert, and the Jin Kingdom probably doesn't even know that he has already fallen.

It seems I have an unbreakable bond with these Jin Dynasty spies; a fate that's destined to be intertwined.

"Don't worry, that Wanyan Lin can't possibly be the commander. I've already killed him. Don't be so surprised. Now, let's talk about Heshi Lie Liangping."

"Yes, yes, Heshi Lie Liangping comes from a noble family in my Jin Kingdom. He has an older sister who is the current emperor's favorite concubine, so he is not afraid of those Jin royal family members with the surname Wanyan."

As for his personality, one could say he was adept at concealing his true intentions, and also insidious…

Perhaps knowing his days were numbered, Number One talked more and more, as if he were desperately complaining about his boss before he died.

He told Wu Chengyu everything he knew about Heshi Lie Liangping, including some unfounded rumors, and Wu Chengyu had to pour him a bowl of wine to moisten his throat.

It wasn't until some light appeared on the horizon that Number One finally finished speaking, at which point he seemed to have fulfilled his wish and could face death with a sense of resignation.

Wu Chengyu reached out and gently grasped his neck, looking at him as kindly as possible: "Say thank you."

Number One actually said thank you, and then Wu Chengyu snapped his neck. Compared to the three bandit brothers who were still lying in bed, he could be said to have died a very happy death.

Wu Chengyu glanced at the three people on the bed again. Because they had drunk the medicinal wine, they were in good condition now, with strong and powerful pulses. They could definitely live for a long time. Only then did he turn around and leave Songhe Temple. This secret stronghold of the Jin Kingdom's spies had been completely wiped out.

As for whether the two plump cooks would be terrified when they woke up at dawn, Wu Chengyu couldn't know for sure; he could only apologize to them.

The next step is to find Old Man Liang. This old man is indeed a bit too trusting of others, which almost brought disaster to the rebel army. If it were anyone else, it would be fine, but Old Man Liang and Wu Chengyu have some kind of kinship.

The most crucial issue is that Number One claimed he was the only one who knew about Old Man Liang, and Wu Chengyu felt that he might not dare to lie.

However, Wu Chengyu absolutely did not believe that Heshi Lie Liangping had only allowed Number One to follow up without leaving any backup plans. No spy chief could easily trust others, even his own subordinates.

Therefore, this old man Liang must have been under close surveillance. If Number One cannot gain his trust and be taken away by him, then these people will definitely swarm and take down the old man Liang. For the sake of his future wife, Wu Chengyu would not allow this to happen.
