On the other side, the train is heading towards Harrisburg.
The first-class carriages are actually private compartments with beds where you can even sleep.
Although Qi Xuansu and Audrey pretended to be a couple, Qi Xuansu didn't intend to do it for real, so he just sat on the bed and flipped a special token with two fingers. It looked like a Tai Chi Pisces picture, but it was not black and white in half.
, but mainly black, with only two dots white, which also symbolizes that the tone of Beichen Hall will not be so bright, just, moral, or even completely opposite.
Qi Xuansu's token is different from other tokens. It is more gorgeous. There is a lotus-shaped decoration on the edge of the badge, which looks like a rosette.
In a sense, the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall is considered to be of inferior position and power. "Inferior position" depends on who he is compared with. Compared with ordinary high-quality Taoist priests, it is certainly not considered inferior, but it must be compared with Shen Zhi.
Compared with real people, the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall has a low position because he cannot participate in the Jinque discussion and has no right to vote. In terms of the power in his hands, the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall, who is in charge of Beichen Hall's huge overseas power,
The power is even greater than that of many lower-ranked Shen Zhi Zhenren, so he is said to have inferior status and weight.
This situation is somewhat similar to that of a secretary. If the successive chief deputy heads of Beichen Hall want to go further, they must learn to give up this power and first become an ordinary counselor without such great power, seeking greater power in the future.
Just like a secretary must stay away from the center of power and be placed outside, in order to achieve greater development.
Fortunately, Qi Xuansu does not have to consider the trade-off between future development and greater power for the time being.
As the most powerful deputy hall master among the three chief deputy hall masters of Shangsan Hall, the chief of Beichen Hall always has many special qualities.
In fact, the official Taoist priests of Beichen Hall will of course call Qi Xuansu the chief deputy hall master - this is the title when working.
But those non-staff personnel will not call Qi Xuansu chief. Their status is very embarrassing. To put it more unpleasantly, they are not worthy of being called Taoist priests. This is the prerogative of Taoist priests. Outsiders can only use the title of master, high-level master, or real person.
They felt alienated by using a set name, but they felt alienated. After all, they were also members of Beichen Hall, so they invented a special name based on this token - Rosette.
It’s a pun. It not only refers to this special token that looks like a rosette, but also means the first seat or under the seat. The lotus refers to the lotus crown, which also means a real person.
Its nature is similar to the fact that the Li family does not call Xuansheng or Taishang Daozu, but instead calls Saint Ancestor or Great Saint Ancestor. This is to show their close relationship and special status.
In addition, this token can not only be used to prove identity, but also
It can be used for communication, but Qi Xuansu has the highest authority. He can proactively contact other token holders. Unless otherwise allowed, others cannot proactively contact him.
Just half an hour ago, an unknown person sent a message to Qi Xuansu. There were only three short words about traitor.
This secret agent had helped Qi Xuansu forge his identity, so Qi Xuansu allowed this secret agent to contact him directly.
Anzi didn't know that Qi Xuansu was Lotus, he only knew the code name of "Mr. Li", who was a senior member of Beichen Hall.
Then the Anzi lost contact, and Qi Xuansu initially judged that the Anzi was dead.
It was too late to mourn for him, Qi Xuansu had to consider his own situation.
It is very common for traitors to appear. After all, the Holy Court is not a freeloader. Although Steam Gospel has officially canceled the Judicial Department, which was reorganized from the Inquisition, there is no vacuum in power, and there will inevitably be other institutions to fill the Judicial Department.
Blank space left.
In the New World, the function of the Judiciary was replaced by the Evangelical Ministry.
In the Old World, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples is one of the holy departments of the Holy See. It is the highest missionary agency of the Holy See and is affiliated with the Holy See. It was originally called the Ministry of Propaganda and the Propaganda Council.
In order to downplay the influence of the Holy See in the Old World, Steam Gospel claimed to have abolished the notorious Inquisition Department in order to win people's hearts. However, the functions of the Inquisition Department were indispensable. So Steam Gospel reorganized the Evangelization Department of All Peoples and changed its name to Gospel
Ministry, in essence, still performs the functions of the Ministry of Judgment. In addition, the New World Goddess Society, which is nominally loyal to the Pope and has actually split, assumes the responsibility of the Ministry of Evangelization of Peoples.
In the New World, the words most feared by both dignitaries and priests were "The Gospel Ministry invites you to listen to the gospel of the Supreme Will."
Beichen Church and the Gospel Ministry are also old rivals, with each other winning and losing.
It is not surprising that Beichen Hall planted secret agents and developed secret agents, so the Evangelical Ministry eliminated traitors and instigated rebellion against the secret agents planted by Beichen Hall.
At this moment, the appearance of a traitor means that Qi Xuansu's whereabouts are likely to be exposed.
For Qi Xuansu, unless Strawney directly rebels, there is no danger for the time being. But it will be very troublesome. He has used several tricks to solve the problem of fake identities and tickets, and it is easy to be discovered.
There were clues, and even Qi Xuansu's evacuation route could be seen.
This is something Qi Xuansu had to consider.
Audrey sat opposite Qi Xuansu, observing Qi Xuansu's expression, and asked cautiously, "What happened?"
Qi Xuansu shook his head, "It's no big deal."
Having said that, Qi Xuansu still issued an order for the relevant personnel to retreat.
This order might expose the information that the Rosette was in the Northern Continent. Qi Xuansu considered that this information might be deliberately released by the Ministry of Gospel, with the intention of alerting others, but he had to issue this order.
Who rebelled?
Maybe the explosion in the downtown area alarmed the Gospel Ministry, or maybe Sofia reached some kind of agreement with the Gospel Ministry.
Qi Xuansu thought so.
To be fair, he is really not good at espionage and is almost a layman. Master Qingwei does not use him to spy on intelligence and eliminate traitors. He mainly wants him to be a peacemaker and go to the Southern Continent to mediate and stabilize the situation.
The situation was not for him to disturb the espionage situation. But he did not expect that such a thing would still happen, which caught Qi Xuansu a little unprepared, and he could only take one step at a time.
Qi Xuansu issued a retreat order to many of Saint York's secret agents. He had his own rules on how to retreat, so Qi Xuansu didn't have to worry about it. .??.
There is no need to touch people like Strawney. Only Zhenren Qingwei, Qi Xuansu and the former chief know about their situation. The relevant chamber of commerce supports Strawney openly, and Leopold and others are also aware of it.
, many congressmen are doing similar things, smuggling, commerce, joint trade, all for profit, and the Gospel Ministry is unable to interfere.
Even the first-level deputy hall leader does not know Strauni's true identity, so he has little influence on Strauni. The key is the ordinary dark men.
If there is a rebellion at the middle or high levels, then they have a large number of personnel lists, and they are likely to wipe out all the people at the bottom, and a retreat order is necessary.
Because Qi Xuansu doesn't know who the traitor is yet, and it is impossible to block it in advance, the traitor will also receive the retreat message from Qi Xuansu.
In this case, if the dead spy was deliberately released by the Gospel Ministry in order to alert the enemy, then they succeeded.
In an inconspicuous two-story building in Midtown St. York, a slightly excited voice echoed, "Our guess is correct."
"Yes, sir." Another calm voice responded.
At this time, in the reception room on the second floor
, a Western face is walking back and forth. He is not wearing formal trousers, but is wearing a black priest's suit similar to a robe. The upper body is not much different from the formal suit. The hem of the lower body is very long, longer than the coat. At this point, Eastern and
It is the same in the West. Taoist priests and priests prefer cumbersome robes.
The other sitting face is a typical oriental face, with black pupils and black hair.
He held a glass and said unhurriedly, "We deliberately asked the hidden man to send a message to 'Mr. Li' before he died. Soon after, Lotus Seat personally issued the order to retreat. This shows two things.
Possibly, the first possibility is that Mr. Li is a close subordinate of Lotus, and Mr. Li reported it to Lotus immediately after receiving the news. The second possibility is that Mr. Li is Lotus himself."
The Western face stopped and looked at the Eastern face, "Sun, which possibility do you prefer?"
The oriental face put down the glass in his hand, "Mr. Lopez, it's hard to say now. After all, we have just caught up with the change of office. The old rosette has been promoted to the real person, and the new rosette has just taken office. Everyone is unfamiliar with this new rosette."
This oriental face is named Sun Zhongnu.
The external aspects of Beichen Hall are mainly divided into four parts: management, intelligence, operations, and creation.
The standards of these four departments are very high, and they are equivalent to the branch halls of the Daofu Prefecture, each with an assistant manager responsible for leadership. In addition, there are six branches that do not have the front office of the Daofu Palace, and they also have the position of assistant manager.
In other words, there are ten assistants under the chief deputy hall master.
The six branch auxiliaries without Taofu prefix respectively correspond to six major regions. The western continent has two major regions, east and west, and the west Posuzhou region. The northern continent has two major regions, south and north, and the southern continent.
.
Sun Zhongnu is the deputy of the Auxiliary Manager of the Northern Region of the Northern Continent. He is not an official Taoist priest, but was born as a Taoist priest. However, the Auxiliary Manager of the Northern Region of the Northern Continent values him very highly and allows him to be closely involved in various confidential affairs.
Sun Zhongnu's rebellion caused great destruction, and even the Auxiliary Minister of the Northern Region himself fell into the hands of the Evangelical Ministry.
When Sun Zhongnu was assisting the Evangelical Ministry in arresting the secret agent of Beichen Hall, he accidentally discovered a special existence named "Mr. Li". He was very sure that Mr. Li had never existed before, which made Sun Zhongnu
Zhongnu was very interested, and after discussing with Dennis Lopez of the Evangelical Ministry, he finalized the plan.
Sun Zhongnu opened the file, "The ticket to the San Antonio Mission, and there are two false identities, one named Vincent Keener, the other named Valerie Keener."
