Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu did not contact Qingwei Zhenren in front of Audrey, but let Audrey leave first, and then contacted Qingwei Zhenren through "Yunzhongxin".

The call was connected quickly, but there was no image, only sound. Qi Xuansu spoke first: "Secretary Shen, I am Qi Xuansu."

The other side was Qingwei Zhenren's secretary Shen Yuqing: "Hello, Chief Qi, Zhenren has been waiting for your news, please wait, I will tell Zhenren immediately."

Qi Xuansu was very polite: "Thank you, Secretary Shen."

After a while, the voice of Qingwei Zhenren came over: "Tianyuan?"

"Zhenren, I am Qi Xuansu." Qi Xuansu's voice became very solemn.

The voice of Qingwei Zhenren was very gentle, and it was hard for people to associate him with the terrifying image of the head of the secret power of the Taoist sect: "I guess you brought me good news this time." "Zhenren is very good at calculation." Qi Xuansu complimented, "It is indeed good news, but not all good news. I believe that Zhenren has already known the news that Xidaomen and Tawanting have deployed troops on the border and that Juesheng Hall has blown up the headquarters of the Gospel Department." "I have read the report." Zhenren Qingwei's voice was still calm, "This is not your fault. No one expected that there would be a traitor. You eliminated the traitor in time to avoid causing greater losses, and it played a good warning role. This approach is correct. As for accountability, aftermath, rectification and other issues, they are all things for the future." Qi Xuansu said: "That's right, but I predict that the Holy Court will inevitably launch a wave of offensives in the near future in order to make up for it or to vent its anger. Zhenren Gong's attitude is very firm and he will fight at all costs." Zhenren Qingwei did not comment: "What do you think?" Qi Xuansu said: "We can start a war, but to control the scale, we need a suitable reason." "Have you found this reason?" Zhenren Qingwei asked. Qi Xuansu said: "We found it. The reason is that there is a spy in the high-level of Tawanting, and the secrets have been leaked. It is not suitable to start a full-scale war. However, the specific identity cannot be determined now. There is no substantial evidence. We can only confirm the existence of a spy."

"This reason is indeed very sufficient, but we can't catch wind and shadows." Qingwei Zhenren said, "What is the specific situation?"

Qi Xuansu said: "Zhenren should still remember that I reported to the headquarters not long ago. I brought someone out from St. York this time. She is considered a member of the upper class of St. York. She accidentally got information about this traitor. In this deal, she asked me to take her away from the Northern Continent. I will not go into details about the specific situation. She just told me about the situation of the traitor. I asked Assistant Lu to verify it. It matches what she said. It can be initially locked as one of the two high-level generals. These are brothers. It is still impossible to determine which person it is, and there is a lack of substantial evidence."

Qingwei Zhenren had a brief silence.

Qi Xuansu had to follow the silence and sort out his thoughts to prepare for the next question from Qingwei Zhenren.

"Is there a possibility of a counter-espionage plot here?" The voice of Qingwei Zhenren 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." Qingwei Zhenren said. Qi Xuansu said slowly, "If this is a counter-espionage plot of the Holy Court, it means that the Holy Court has completely mastered my whereabouts, and my trip to Saint York is top secret. In theory, only the Zhenren and I know about this, and from the subsequent developments, the Holy Court does not know my whereabouts, at least not in advance." "In addition, this woman is involved in the Apostles of Hell and the Philosopher's Stone. Its properties are very similar to Chen Shuhua's refining of the 'Eternal Life Stone'. I have seen all kinds of precious things with my own eyes. These cannot be fake. If she is used to carry out a counter-espionage plot, the cost is too high." "And after I take her away, Bei The various reactions in the mainland are also very real. It is almost at the expense of interception. I am afraid that this fake can not be made. There is no substantial evidence, and we are not allowed to verify it slowly in time. "Qi Xuan Su said:" That's it. If you slowly verify it, it is too late to prevent the situation from expanding the situation. " Qi Xuansu contacted Beichen Hall, so it was the secretary of Shen Yuqing, so he would also leave a trace. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up.

If Qingwei Zhenren does not agree, then Qi Xuansu cannot be said to have 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: "Putting the overall situation first, you can follow the authority when it is urgent. 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."

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? ?

Huangfuji is an undoubted radical and often takes risks. However, Huangfuji 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 Huangfuji'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. When he saw 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 to visit, 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 pieces of information to the Gospel Ministry, including information about Cusco's armory. thing."

After that, Qi Xuansu handed the dossier to Huangfuji - 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 while, 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?"
