Chapter 140: Emergency
Qi Xuansu did not contact Master Qingwei in front of Audrey. Instead, he asked Audrey to leave before contacting Master Qingwei through "Yun Zhongxin".
The connection was quickly connected. There was no image, only sound. Qi Xuansu spoke first: "Secretary Shen, I am Qi Xuansu."
On the other side is Shen Yuqing, secretary of Master Qingwei: "Hello, Chief Qi, Master Qi has been waiting for news from you. Please wait a moment and I will tell Master immediately."
Qi Xuansu was very polite: "Thank you, Secretary Shen."
After a while, the voice of Master Qingwei came over: "Tianyuan?"
"Master, I am Qi Xuansu." Qi Xuansu's voice became very solemn.
Master Qingwei's voice was very gentle, and it was difficult for people to associate him with the terrifying image of the secret power of the general leader: "I guess you brought me good news this time."
"The real person has a wonderful plan." Qi Xuansu complimented, "It is indeed good news, but it is not all good news. I think the real person has already known the news about the border between Xidaomen and Tawanting Chenbing and the Juesheng Church blowing up the Gospel Ministry headquarters."
"I have read the report." Master Qingwei's voice was still calm, "I can't blame you. No one expected that a traitor would appear. You eliminated the traitor in time to avoid causing greater losses, and you played a very good role." This is the right approach to serve as a warning. As for issues such as accountability, aftermath, and rectification, these are matters for the future.”
Qi Xuansu said: "That's true, but I predict that the Holy Court will definitely launch a wave of offensive in the near future in order to find compensation or vent its anger. Master Gong Da's attitude is very determined and he will not hesitate to fight."
Master Qingwei was noncommittal: "What is your opinion??"
Qi Xuansu said: "We can start a war, but to control the scale, we need a suitable reason."
"Have you found this reason?" Master Qingwei asked.
Qi Xuansu said: "Found it. The reason is that there is a spy in the top management of Tawanting, and the secrets are leaked, so it is not suitable for a full-scale war. However, the specific identity cannot be determined yet. There is no substantial evidence, so we can only be sure that there is a spy."
"This reason is indeed very sufficient, but it cannot be based on mere speculation." Master Qingwei said, "What is the specific situation??"
Qi Xuansu said: "You should still remember that I reported to the main church not long ago that I brought someone out from St. York this time. She is considered a member of St. York's upper class. She accidentally got information about this traitor. In this way, In order to make a deal, please let me take her to escape from the Northern Continent. I will not go into details about the details. She just informed me about the traitor. I asked Assistant Lu to verify it. It matches what she said. It is preliminary. Locked as one of the two high-ranking generals, they are two brothers. It is not yet possible to specifically identify who they are, and there is a lack of substantial evidence. "
There was a brief silence on Master Qingwei's side.
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to remain silent while organizing his thoughts and preparing to answer the next questions from Master Qingwei.
"Is there the possibility of counter-intentional conspiracy here?" Master Qingwei's voice broke the silence, "What if the Holy Court deliberately released this news to mislead us? Or, this woman is a pawn of the Holy Court."
Qi Xuansu remained calm and replied: "I have also considered this possibility, but I think it is unlikely."
"Tell me what you think." Master Qingwei said.
Qi Xuansu said calmly: "If this is a counter-intentional plan by the Holy Court, it means that the Holy Court has complete control of my whereabouts, and my trip to Saint York is top secret. Theoretically, only I and the real person know about it. , and judging from the subsequent development, the Holy Court does not know my whereabouts, at least not in advance. "
"In addition, this woman is involved in the Apostle of Hell and the Philosopher's Stone. Its properties are very similar to Chen Shuhua's refining of the 'Stone of Immortality'. I have seen all kinds of precious things with my own eyes. These cannot be faked. If she is used to perform anti-incarnation The price is too high."
"And after I took her away, the various reactions from the Northern Continent were very real. They almost intercepted her at all costs. I'm afraid this lie cannot be made. Unless the Holy Court can predict and know that she will definitely be able to escape to the Southern Continent, I think She could definitely reveal this information to us, and it would be almost impossible to intentionally leak a false information to her in advance.”
Master Qingwei recognized Qi Xuansu's statement: "The problem now is the lack of substantial evidence, and time does not allow us to slowly verify it."
Qi Xuansu said: "It's like this. If we verify it slowly, it will be too late to prevent Xidaomen from expanding the situation."
Master Qingwei said nothing.
Qi Xuansu didn't want to take responsibility himself and asked directly: "I would like to ask the real person for instructions. Can special circumstances be handled in a special way?"
This was not a private call by Jing Lu. Theoretically, Qi Xuansu contacted the main hall of Beichen Hall, so the first person to answer the call was Secretary Shen Yuqing, so it would leave traces. "Yun Zhongxin" is in charge of Tianjitang. It is the sphere of influence of Quanzhen Tao and cannot be easily erased by Master Qingwei.
If Master Qingwei agrees, if something happens in the future, he and Qi Xuansu will bear the responsibility together, and no one can shirk the responsibility. The sky is falling, and the tall ones are holding it up.
If Master Qingwei does not agree, then it cannot be said that Qi Xuansu missed a good opportunity in the future.
This is why Qi Xuansu dared to ask this question. Others, such as Lu Yushu and others, would not have the courage at all. After all, Qi Xuansu is not a member of Zhenren Qingwei, he is a member of Zhenren Donghua. If things really get ugly, Zhenren Donghua will come out to protect Qi Xuansu. Other Taiping Dao people, their backer is Master Qingwei, so naturally they cannot use this set of procedural rules to deal with Master Qingwei.
The so-called rules and procedures must be maintained by someone to check and balance them. If no one maintains them, they are just a piece of paper.
Master Qingwei did not shirk the blame with Qi Xuansu: "Put the overall situation first, and you can follow the authority when it comes to matters. Just how to operate it specifically, do you have any ideas?"
Qi Xuansu deliberately remained silent for a moment, not because he hadn't thought about it yet, but to convey an attitude. So this is not the kind of silence where you think about excuses, but a moment of pause to express the complexity of the situation you are facing: "Can we alert the enemy?"
In a normal context, "alerting a snake in the grass" has a derogatory connotation, but Qi Xuansu's use here is obviously not the original intention of "alerting a snake in the grass", but is somewhat similar to luring a snake out of its hole.
Master Qingwei was very interested: "Go on."
Qi Xuansu said: "We pretended to have accidentally leaked the news, creating an illusion. In fact, we have obtained substantial evidence, locked the target, and are preparing to arrest, put pressure on the spy and force him to flee. Once he decides to flee, then It is tantamount to claiming nothing, and it doesn’t matter whether there is evidence or not.”
Master Qingwei asked: "What if he didn't choose to flee?"
Qi Xuansu said: "If he does not flee, we will have to take the last step and isolate the two suspects for examination without conclusive evidence. This will inevitably cause considerable dissatisfaction, saying that we are framed against a good person. It may even cause chaos in the military, but Daomen can use this reason to prevent Xidaomen from expanding the situation, which is the lesser of two evils."
Master Qingwei was silent for a moment, and finally said three words: "Execute."
The call is over.
Qi Xuansu sat alone for a moment and began to think about the issue of alerting the enemy.
Just relying on the power of Beichen Hall is far from enough. It requires the cooperation of Juesheng Hall. The key lies in Huangfuji.
On this issue, it mainly depends on whether Huangfu Ji puts the overall situation first or his personal goals first. In other words, are Huangfuji's overall situation and Qi Xuansu's overall situation the same? ?
Huangfu Ji is an unquestionable radical and often takes risks. However, Huangfu Ji is not crazy. Radicalism is not the same as recklessness. Considering that this high-level spy has indeed threatened the safety of Tawanting, for the future, in the long run Considering this, Huangfuji probably wouldn't remain indifferent. Moreover, the positions of the Huangfu family and the Gong family are not completely consistent.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu decided to test Huangfu Ji's attitude, and he contacted Lu Yujue again.
"Chief Qi."
"it's me."
"What are the instructions from the chief?"
"I just asked you to check on the attack on the Cusco Armory. You should immediately compile a file. The more detailed the better, and send it to me no later than midnight."
"Okay, Chief."
In the evening, Qi Xuansu took the file and took Audrey to visit Huangfu Ji again.
Huangfu was not a fool. Seeing this posture, he roughly understood that something was wrong with Qi Xuansu. He stepped back and said deliberately: "I have long heard that Chief Qi and Chief Zhang are the couple of gods and immortals, which is enviable. Now Chief Qi is taking another person with him. A beautiful lady is here, what’s the point?”
Qi Xuansu got straight to the point: "This Miss Al has just provided me with an important piece of information. A high-level spy code-named 'Ape God' sold a number of confidential information to the Ministry of Gospel, including information about Cusco's armory. thing."
After that, Qi Xuansu handed the dossier to Huangfu Ji - this dossier was written by Qi Xuansu himself. On the basis of the dossier provided by Lu Yujue, Qi Xuansu added some information provided by Audrey.
Huangfu Ji's face became solemn when he heard this, he took the file, read it quickly, and then fell into silence.
After a moment, Huangfu said slowly: "No wonder Chief Qi had to make great efforts to bring this young lady out of St. York. Cusco was originally the capital of Tawanting, but later because it was too close to the north-south border, security issues were considered. , so New Paititi was built. Nowadays, Cusco assumes more functions as a military center. People from the Holy Court can accurately raid the already very hidden armory and cause huge damage. I was I became suspicious and thought there might be an insider, and I checked several times, but only the two Hu En brothers were not suspected."
Qi Xuansu asked: "What is Taoist Brother Huangfu's opinion?"
