Chapter 123: Old and New
Of course, it is impossible for the Morgan Brotherhood to place people next to the Patriarch, but the hierarchy is layer by layer, and the people around the Patriarch have subordinates and people around them, layer by layer, as long as the Morgan Brotherhood collects information from the middle and lower levels, plus the Patriarch will not sneak away from St. York, nor will it be kept secret, Sadie can roughly deduce the Patriarch's itinerary.
In fact, intelligence gathering is just that, and stealing and spying on key information at the heart of the enemy will only happen in rare cases. Most of the time it's more like a jigsaw puzzle, collecting various scattered pieces, then piecing them together, restoring the general outline, and then making inferences and guesses.
Sadie's brotherhood is good at this, they did not touch the patriarch's secretary's office and get the patriarch's itinerary, but collected a large number of seemingly unrelated small pieces of information, such as the kitchen canceled the original dinner arrangement, the servants temporarily adjusted the shift plan, the coachman has been very idle recently, etc., these information is not difficult to obtain, and even do not have to go through the person, such as the shift adjustment must be informed to the family, maybe the brotherhood learned the news from the child's mouth, all kinds of news are summarized, In the end, a vague inference was reached.
This is the reason why Yujing is the city of Taoist priests, Xuandu is almost a city of high-grade Taoist priests, and the innermost Purple Mansion is even more strict, and the Taoists of Xuandu and Zifu are almost rotated once every few months, just to prevent this from happening. Even if a leak occurs, it is easy to investigate and then lock down the leak.
The Holy See is probably the same, it is a city of clergy. However, St. York is similar to Jinling Mansion or Lion City, and without such conditions, it is inevitable that all kinds of information will fly all over the sky.
After Qi Xuansu got this information, he immediately contacted Lu Yujue and asked him to tell the Taoist friends of the West Daomen. Because of the special token of Beichen Hall, there is no one from the West Gate, and there must be an intermediary to pass the word.
Although Qi Xuansu didn't want the situation to expand, now that the wood was in the boat, Xidaomen had already made some moves, he could only consider the problem from the position of Xidaomen, and he couldn't dismantle the stage at this time. He hoped that even if the people of Xidaomen planned to do it, it would be better to wait until the Patriarch left the New World, so as not to crash into the hands of the Patriarch and suffer heavy casualties.
Lu Yujue's movements were swift, without the slightest delay, and quickly replied: "Chief, Huangfu Zhenren asked me to thank you for the news on his behalf. ”
Qi Xuansu responded: "It's all one family, you don't have to talk about two families." ”
……
"One family, you don't have to talk two families. However, the rice still has to be eaten in separate pots, Chief Qi has this heart, and my emperor Fu has made a note of this favor. ”
Thousands of miles away, the temporary stronghold of Xidaomen, the people of Xidaomen had already begun to pack up the camp and prepare to leave here, and Huangfuji ended the conversation with Lu Yujue.
"This Chief Qi is very polite, I thought that a young talent like him would be unruly, and no one was in his eyes. Now it seems that it is biased. Huangfu smiled lightly, "But this is also reasonable, as a person from Donghua Zhenren, he can get along well with Qingwei Zhenren, at least he can get by on face, except for his own ability, it can be seen that he is not a person like Zhang Yuelu." ”….
Liang Guangfu said: "I have also heard that Qi Zhenren advocates being tough on the outside, and on the inside, he has always been soft, and he doesn't dare to touch those deep-rooted families. After all, he has no foundation, he can't represent the Daomen, there are some things, the Li family can do, the Zhang family can do, but he can't do it, if he rashly advocates internal reform, then it is easy to be beaten by others as a traitor to the Daomen. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Huang Fu Ji waved his hand and turned to look in another direction, "Haven't you connected yet?" ”
After Huang Fuji ended his conversation with Lu Yujue, the people of Xidaomen began to dismantle the "Mother and Child Mirror", but there was still a "sound transmission array" that had not been removed.
The "Mother and Child Mirror" can provide half-body projection, like a face-to-face conversation, which is undoubtedly more advanced. However, this is a means that has only emerged in recent years, before which remote communication mainly relied on "sound transmission array" or other sound transmission means, only hearing its voice and not seeing its people, many old-fashioned people still like "sound transmission array", such as the national teacher.
Further on, there is the pure text communication of the "Signal Array".
A man from the West Gate replied, "...... at once." Immediately, okay, connected. ”
Huang Fuji came to the "Transmission Array": "Secretary Duan?" I'm Huangfu Ji, I have a situation I want to report to the palace elder, I don't know if the palace elder is here? ”
After Huang Fuji finished speaking, he waited for Secretary Duan to reply, but there was silence on the side of the "sound transmission array", as if he was waiting for Huang Fu Ji to finish speaking.
Huang Fu Ji had to speak again: "Secretary Duan, Old Duan, are you listening?" ”
"I am."
The "Transmission Array" finally replied, but it was not Secretary Duan, but an old voice - the second person in the West Daomen, Gong Fu.
Huangfu was taken aback, subconsciously straightened up, and put away some of his usual cynicism.
"Make a name, you name it." Gong Fu's voice sounded again, and he did not rely on his elders to call him by name, but called Huang Fuji's expression, which shows that Huang Fuji's status in the West Daomen is transcendent, and he is faintly the fourth person. The so-called "name maker, the best of the best." Meaning: Building reputation is the ultimate goal of conduct. Huangfu's extreme name is "extreme", which means "name".
"Yes, Gong Lao." Huang Fu Ji said, "Chief Qi has just received news that the Patriarch will be leaving St. York, so I mean, can we be a little more daring this time?" ”
This was contrary to Qi Xuansu's hopes, Qi Xuansu knew that Huangfu was extremely aggressive, but he didn't expect Huangfu to be so radical.
Gong Lao didn't answer directly, fell into a short silence, and then sighed softly in the silence.
The emperor heard it very much, like the wind blowing the sea, and the sound of the waves.
When Gong Lao spoke again, he was a little more solemn: "I don't doubt this Chief Qi, but what if it is a trap deliberately set by the Patriarch?" ”
Huang Fuji said: "Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out, Chief Qi also vaguely expressed this concern, he said that he was only fifty percent sure. It's just that how can there be 100% certainty in this world?? As long as it's more than 50% sure, it's worth a try. ”
"Name, you're a little too aggressive." Gong Fu was noncommittal.
Although it is the consensus of Xidaomen to force Daomen through established facts, it does not mean that Xidaomen are all reckless men like Wu Niang, they also have to grasp a degree and minimize the risk. ….
Huangfu smiled and said: "Gong Lao, don't be sarcastic about me, the reason why you and Donggong sent me here is to be radical, if you want to seek stability, you will send other people." ”
Everything was out of the blue. Earthquake, the East also. The so-called "Donggong" refers to the titular lord of the West Daomen.
Gong Fu did not deny this: "You are right, but not long ago, Donggong just ended the conversation with Qingwei Zhenren, Qingwei Zhenren's attitude is very clear, don't expand the situation, the most radical Li family is still like this, and the attitude of the other two is also unknown." ”
Huangfu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps, when he Li Qingwei led the army into Fenglin Continent, he didn't think that he couldn't expand the situation??" When you come to us, you need to be stable? He did it, but we can't do it. ”
Gong Fu's tone was still calm: "Don't generalize, it's better to be cautious." ”
Huangfu said: "I don't understand, even if you want to convey this attitude, why not the national teacher?" Qingwei Zhenren's meaning is not necessarily the meaning of the national teacher, Yujing and we share the pot to eat, and Li Qingwei and the national teacher are far from talking about a pair of pants. Also, Gong Lao, you and Donggong, but immortals, Yujing sent a pseudo-immortal to send you away? Even if this pseudo-immortal is a candidate for the future Great Palm Sect, he has not yet been selected for the Great Palm Sect after all, and there is still a Donghua real person. ”
These words were almost finished in one breath, Gong Fu did not interrupt, but listened quietly, until Huang Fu was extremely silent, and then asked, "Finished??" ”
"That's it." Huangfuji's answer was a bit angry.
Gong Fu said slowly: "You're right, the status of the national teacher is higher, but have you thought about it, how many years does the national teacher have?" In the next few decades, will Xidaomen deal with national teachers? Or are you dealing with a real person? Even if the national teacher and Qingwei Zhenren disagree, what can they do? Could it be that the national teacher can still abolish Qingwei Zhenren and find a successor? Not to mention whether the national teacher can abolish Qingwei Zhenren, even if the national teacher does it, in terms of the remaining time of the national teacher, he is powerless to support others, abolishing Qingwei Zhenren means that Taiping Dao directly withdrew from the competition for the Great Palm Sect, is it possible that the other two Dao are unified with the national teacher? ? ”
"Now, the national teacher has to respect the opinions of Qingwei Zhenren, and he has to compromise. Being young is a strength in itself, and you should feel it deeply. Taking a step back, if a war is waged, it may last for decades, so in the end, will seven generations of disciples dominate the war? Or are the six generations of disciples leading the war? Don't look at the six generations of disciples who still hold the supreme power of the Dao Sect now, but time does not allow it. Since it is dominated by seven generations of disciples, it is conceivable whose opinions to follow. The world belongs to us old guys, and it is also you young people, but in the end it is still yours. ”
"Besides, who told you that Qingwei is a real person or a pseudo-immortal? The old people are about to ascend, including Qingwei Zhenren, Donghua Zhenren, Cihang Zhenren have already entered the ranks of immortals, in the next few years, there should be a few more people who have become immortals one after another, the last few years of the alternation of the old and the new, but it is the time when the number of Daomen immortals is the largest. ”
Huangfu fell silent.
Gong Fu finally said: "Liming, you are not yet fifty years old, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go, don't be impulsive, or follow the original plan, and leave with one blow." In addition, according to the information provided by Chief Qi, we will wait until the patriarch leaves before we do it, and I think this is also the intention of Chief Qi to take the initiative to provide us with information. ”
"Gong Lao, I obey orders." Huang Fuji's expression on his face was calm, and his tone was still steady, but his fists were clenched tightly.
