During the fourteenth year of Tianbao, the undercurrents of the prosperous Tang Dynasty surged. Seventeen-year-old boy Lu Changqing was originally a white postman in Liangzhou Station, but because of a strange anonymous suicide note, he was involved in the shocking mystery of the Hexi Corridor that has not been solved for ten years. His father, Lu Yuan, disappeared after performing a secret mission ten years ago. What was left was only a prophecy: "There is a network in Hexi, there is a game in the network, and there is death in the game."
As the investigation deepens, Lu Changqing discovers that his father is not an ordinary postman, but the contemporary operator of the "Hexi Secret Network" - a secret intelligence network that is independent of the official post system. It uses caravans, temples, and murals as cover to weave an invisible network of information on the Silk Road. The disappearance of his father involves a smuggling channel from Liangzhou to Chang'an, a major corruption case of military horses, and An Lushan's infiltration conspiracy into the Hexi Corridor.
From Liangzhou to Dunhuang, from the inn to the border, Lu Changqing relied on his photographic memory and micro-expression observation to escalate step by step in murder cases, espionage battles, and political intrigues. He met Su Jiangxue, the proprietress of the Sogdian business group. This cold and intelligent woman controlled the largest business intelligence network on the Silk Road, but was struggling in the apocalypse when the conflict between Hu and Han intensified; the bold frontier army scout Zhao Ponu became his most important A reliable comrade-in-arms; the taciturn old postman Zhang Wudou kept his mouth shut, but revealed the dusty past at the critical moment; and the seemingly aloof Dunhuang painter Pei Jiusi was actually the deepest hidden secret of a certain force in Chang'an...
Not bad👍👍👍
