Chapter 139: Spy

But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, so Qi Xuansu came to the New World.

A high-level traitor will inevitably leak a lot of key information, even various key military arrangements. The Dao Sect can use this reason to clearly ask the Western Dao Sect to temporarily suspend the situation and control the war within a certain range.

The Dao Sect was difficult to stop before because the Holy Court took the initiative to launch an attack, and it was moral for Tawanting to counterattack. The Dao Sect used to raise the tone too high, which certainly occupied the moral high ground, but the disadvantage is that without a legitimate reason, it is not easy to force "brakes" and it is even more difficult to change direction. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating, and people will be turbulent, causing extremely bad effects and consequences.

As long as Qi Xuansu finds out the traitor, it will give the Dao Sect a more legitimate reason: fighting is definitely necessary, but it must be fully prepared. Now that there is a traitor inside and confidential information is leaked, how can it be considered fully prepared? Wouldn't it be a waste of soldiers to start a war rashly?

The dissatisfaction of the people inside can also be transferred to the traitor.

Even if the traitor didn't actually leak confidential information, once such a thing happens, it's not up to him whether it's leaked or not, it's up to the Daomen to decide.

The Daomen has been assisting the Southern Continent for so many years. Do you really think that the Daomen has no influence at all? The Daomen is not a sucker. Every material assistance also means that the Daomen's control over the Southern Continent deepens. Over the years, the Daomen can ignore the opinions of the Western Daomen and Tawanting when making high-level decisions, but the Western Daomen and Tawanting cannot ignore the opinions of the Daomen when making decisions.

As the saying goes: War is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and destruction. It must be carefully considered.

War is a major event of the country. It is a major issue related to the life and death of many people and the survival of the country. It must be treated with caution. Knowing that there are problems inside and the traitor has caused the leakage of confidential information, it is still necessary to go to war. Is this a cautious attitude? Of course not.

In this case, the Western Daomen still insisted on going to war, which is not impossible. There are only two results, winning or losing.

If they win, then everything will be fine. It's good for you, me, and everyone else, except the Holy Court.

What if they lose? Or if they lose when the Dao Sect raises clear objections, someone will have to take responsibility afterwards. This is not something that can be solved by drinking three cups of wine. At the very least, you will lose all your power. Do you dare to bet all your wealth on it?

I don't think they dare.

But if the Dao Sect does not have a suitable reason to raise clear objections, that is, there is no such thing as a traitor, then it's another story. After all, victory and defeat are common in the military.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu is also struggling and hesitating. He doesn't

It's just that Qi Xuansu doesn't have much time left. He can't keep hesitating. He has to make this matter clear before the two sides officially expand the situation. Otherwise, it won't make much sense to bring it up after the war. The arrow has to be shot, and there is no turning back. There are many explanations.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Qi. Of course I will fulfill my promise." Audrey said so. At the banquet last night, she had learned from others that Qi Xuansu was Lian Zuo and that Qi Xuansu's surname was Qi. After all, everyone called him Chief Qi or Master Qi. Audrey wanted to "defect" to the Southern Continent. It was a long-planned plan, not a sudden impulse. So she learned the language of the aborigines and the Central Plains Mandarin a long time ago in the name of better performance. Not only could she understand, but she could also communicate normally.

Qi Xuansu had already set up a ban. There were only two people in the tent at this time, and then he asked, "Who is the traitor?"

Audrey replied, "There are two generals in the top leadership of Tawanting, who happen to be brothers, named Hu En Ahan and Hu En Chawen. The traitor is among these two brothers."

Qi Xuansu did some homework before coming to the New World. He dare not say that he is familiar with them, nor dare to say that he knows them. At least he knows some simple background information. For example, Qi Xuansu has read the information of the Hu En brothers. These two people have the strength of pseudo-immortals. They are gods under the Western system and are also the absolute top leaders of the Tawanting military. They can access various secrets.

Because the northern continent is mainly composed of large plains, the two of them are mainly good at fighting in the rainforest, so this time Gong Fu will lead the army personally.

Now, there is a traitor in the highest level of the military. This reason is too sufficient.

Not only sufficient, but also a real threat to the safety of Tawanting.

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Who is it?"

Audrey said: "In that document, it was only referred to as 'Ape God', without a name, but I can be sure that this 'Ape God' is one of the Hu En brothers, because the document clearly mentioned the issue of Taoist assistance. I have been with Sofia for many years, and I know a little bit about politics. When it comes to Taoism, it is usually the Western Taoism that contacts Taoism, and then the Western Taoism contacts Tawanting. People who can get access to the inside story of Taoism must be high-level officials of Tawanting or people from the Western Taoism. It involves military weapons, so it can be confirmed that it is a high-level military official. The intelligence involves Cusco, and this place is under the charge of the two brothers. The cardinal priest also boasted after drinking that the 'Ape God' is the biggest trump card of the Ministry of Gospel. With him, there is no need to be afraid of Tawanting's army."

Qi Xuansu's heart moved: "You just mentioned military weapons, you can be more specific."

"It's a list of assistance provided by the Dao Sect in the past year, including the types of weapons, numbers, locations of handovers, transportation routes, storage locations, etc." Audrey has a good memory, "This should be one of the many pieces of intelligence."

Qi Xuansu thought about it for a while and felt that it was very credible, because there were only zero and countless times when spies leaked information, and in this regard, it was mainly bribery. For example, if it is measured by money, then it is generally a guaranteed amount of money, and a bonus is given. For each piece of information provided, the amount of money is paid according to the value of the information. The more information provided, the more money earned, and the more work, the more money earned. So it is rarely a one-time deal, but a long-term "business".

Spies at the level of the Ape God will certainly not seek money, but probably other things, such as divine power, but the principle remains unchanged. And even if it is a high-level leak, it is essentially a puzzle, because when two countries are at war, unless it is a crucial decisive battle, a single piece of intelligence cannot play a revolutionary role. It still needs to rely on a large amount of intelligence to support it, summarize and analyze it, piece together the strategic intention and direction, and then make corresponding responses.

Qi Xuansu said, "Can you be more specific?"

Audrey pondered for a moment and replied, "Because time was tight, I only remembered the general content. There was one thing that impressed me deeply. The Dao Sect provided a batch of 'Phoenix Eye A-3', and the 'Ape God' provided the specific location and deployment map of the Cusco Armory where this batch of 'Phoenix Eye A-3' was placed."

Qi Xuansu immediately contacted Lu Yujue: "Assistant Lu, please check the matter about the Cusco Armory... Mainly about the batch of 'Phoenix Eye A-3' we provided earlier... Yes, please do it as soon as possible, I'll wait for your reply."

Not long after, Lu Yujue's reply came back: "Chief, the Cusco Armory was attacked three months ago, and some 'Phoenix Eye A-3' were indeed lost, causing a huge explosion, more than 200 casualties, and the property loss was more than 3 million Taiping money. Regarding the follow-up of this attack, Juesheng Hall is still investigating."

"Okay, I got it." Qi Xuansu ended the call.

Audrey was obviously relieved: "Mr. Qi, can you be sure that my information is effective?"

Qi Xuansu smiled slightly: "Ms. El, the information you provided is very valuable. I will arrange the relevant matters as soon as possible to help you remove the 'steam power core'. If necessary, I can also help you change your skin and solve the rune problems of those hell apostles."

Audrey stood up, lifted the hem of her skirt and saluted Qi Xuansu to express her gratitude.

Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought. Judging from the situation in the Cusco Armory, it is indeed certain that there are spies in the top of Tawanting, and as Audrey judged, it is a high-level military official, because the priests and the royal family will not know such specific things. Even if they know the existence of the armory, there is no such thing as a defense map.

But he can't just rely on speculation and Audrey's words to deal with the two high-level generals. If he is not careful, it will cause changes in the army and even put himself in a very passive situation.

Evidence is needed, and the possibility of the Holy See using a counter-espionage plan cannot be completely ruled out.

But where can he find evidence in such a short time? Even if he starts from the matter of the Cusco Armory, it will take at least several months, and there may not be a definite result. By that time, the two sides will have already started a war.

In fact, the identity of such a high-level spy is usually discovered by obtaining intelligence from the other party's high-level like Qi Xuansu, and it is rarely found out directly. The key issue is Audrey's identity. She is not a member of the Gospel Department, or even a priest of the Steam Gospel. If she is an important member of the Gospel Department, then her words can be used as evidence.

In the end, Qi Xuansu decided to ask Qingwei Zhenren for his opinion. If Qingwei Zhenren thinks it is possible to move and it is worth taking the risk, then he doesn't mind taking a gamble.

To put it bluntly, although the high-level generals of Tawanting have a high status, they are not Taoists after all. Even if they are wrong, it will not cause an irreversible situation. The risk is still far less than rashly identifying a Taoist high-level without substantial evidence.
