"…" The mysterious expression on Sha Rulai's face instantly froze.
If Niu Youdao had only said that he knew that Niu Youdao was a secret agent of the Misty Pavilion, he would have suspected that Niu Youdao was pretending to be calm because of his reminder. However, he even pointed out Baili Jie, who was developing Gongsun Bu, which proved that Niu Youdao had long known that the person in charge of the intelligence center was the eyes and ears of the Misty Pavilion.
It just so happened that he had just taken over the rotation and developed Gongsun Bu as the eyes and ears of the Misty Pavilion.
This was not planned by him, but by the previous Misty Pavilion Leader. When he took over, he had a comprehensive understanding of the Misty Pavilion's situation and noticed this.
Niu Youdao's support of Shang Chaozong to take over the South State had already attracted a lot of attention from the Misty Pavilion.
However, the transfer of power of the Misty Pavilion Leader was coming soon, and it was the end of this term. Usually, the previous Misty Pavilion Leader would not make any moves and try to avoid trouble. Both sides wanted a smooth transition and did not want to cause any trouble for themselves.
However, Niu Youdao then forced Shao Pingbo to flee from the Northern Prefecture. After taking over the Southern Prefecture, he caused the Northern Prefecture to change hands. The successive large scale actions caused the Misty Pavilion's Sect Leader, who was about to retire, to set up a surveillance order.
He had to do this. During his tenure, he had made so many big changes. If he did not do anything, he would be held responsible if something happened in the future.
If he did this, at least he would have an explanation in the future and could avoid future troubles.
Because of this, Sha Rulai had a deep impression of this matter. Moreover, it involved Niu Youdao, so he repeatedly reviewed Niu Youdao's situation after the incident.
Who knew that Niu Youdao had already known about it? At this moment, Sha Rulai felt like he had stepped on air and was falling off a cliff.
After a moment of silence, Sha Rulai Slowly said, "Developing the secret agents in various places is the top secret of the Misty Pavilion. Based on the time, other than the previous Misty Pavilion Leader, I, and the current Ding Weicai have the opportunity to access the secret. The others can't see it without the authorization of the Lord. Who told you about it? Or could it be that Gongsun Bu never really worked for the Misty Pavilion, and told you all along? "
Niu Youdao: "Do I need someone to tell me? Baili Jie directly came to our Thatched Cottage Villa to look for Gongsun Bu. Do you think that everyone in our Thatched Cottage Villa is blind? "
That being said, in reality, it was all thanks to Yuan Gang. If it wasn't for Yuan Gang, who was good at reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance methods and closely monitored any abnormalities in the Thatched Cottage Villa, he might really not have known about it.
Rulai Sha asked, "Didn't Gongsun Bu tell you?"
Niu Youdao: "I hope he will wake up one day. The opportunity is right in front of him, it's up to him whether he can grasp it or not."
Rulai Sha said, "You knew that he was a secret agent of the Misty Pavilion all these years, but you still let him be in charge of your intelligence center?"
Niu Youdao: "Mr. Sha said it himself just now. He didn't tell me before because he didn't want to alert certain people. Since Mr. Sha has this kind of awareness, I have also thought of it. "
Rulai Sha said, "In other words, the information that the Misty Pavilion has about you all these years is not your real secret."
Niu Youdao: "It should be the information that I am willing to let the Misty Pavilion know."
Rulai Sha narrowed his eyes slightly. "You don't want to alert the enemy, but you are using Gongsun Bu to paralyze the Misty Pavilion. You deliberately let Gongsun Bu report some of your secrets, so that the Misty Pavilion will think that you have always been under their control?"
Niu Youdao: "If I didn't do this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lived until now. If I didn't paralyze the Misty Pavilion, how could I dare to do things freely all these years?"
Rulai Sha nodded slightly and said with appreciation, "Not bad. It seems that I did not choose the wrong person."
Niu Youdao: "But I don't know if the Misty Pavilion has other people around me, or if they have other information about me. So I want to ask if there are other secret agents of the Misty Pavilion around me?"
Rulai Sha: "Other secret agents, you can say that there are, but you can also say that there are no other secret agents. How can there not be? There are naturally people from the Misty Pavilion among the disciples of Mount Five Liang who are responsible for your intelligence. There are also people from Immortal Retaining Sect, Fuyun Sect, Lingxiu Mountain, Shang Chaozong's side, and Purple Golden Cave. As long as there is a force that has a certain degree of influence in the world, there will be eyes and ears of the Misty Pavilion. "
Niu Youdao's expression was solemn. "Since there are, why do you say that there are, but you can also say that there are not?"
Rulai Sha: "They are all around you, so they shouldn't be able to get in touch with your core secrets. We originally thought that Gongsun Bu was the one who could get in touch with your core secrets. There are only so many true confidants around you. You can't develop everyone around you into secret agents, and those who can become someone's confidants are often the most difficult to deal with. If you can't develop them, you will have to kill them. So before you have absolute confidence, you won't act rashly to alert the enemy. "
"According to Gongsun Bu's intelligence, some of your information didn't go through his hands. Because of this, it's not that I didn't consider arranging more people around you. My subordinates also tried, but they couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Most of the time, you and your confidants are hiding behind the scenes. Even if there is something, you will come and go quietly. If you don't have a clear grasp of the specific situation, you won't be able to make arrangements in time. And your Thatched Cottage Villa is also very vigilant, so it's hard for the Misty Pavilion to have a chance to act. According to Gongsun Bu, your food and drink are specially taken care of by a group of monks who almost never go out, so no one has a chance to act. "
Regarding this, Niu Youdao himself admitted that ever since Gongsun Bu's betrayal, he had been on high alert internally, and Yuan Gang personally came up with the anti-infiltration plan. Yuan Gang and his group would even accurately calculate the time of every important person who went out, in order to verify certain aspects.
In this chaotic world where conflicts were everywhere, if one wanted to stand firm and support a faction, there were too many aspects involved. He couldn't rely on himself. No matter how strong his fists were, it was useless. One person couldn't guard against everything, big or small. Without a supporting framework, he wouldn't even know when he would be betrayed.
"To be able to develop the people around you in charge of intelligence into secret agents is already very significant in terms of monitoring you. Without confidence, the Misty Pavilion didn't dare to act recklessly against the people around you, fearing that it would cause you to purge them and implicate Gongsun Bu.
"After the incident, we also had people on our side analyze the situation around you. Apart from what I just said, although there aren't many people around you, they are divided into factions. Internally, the people from Fu Fang Garden are one group, and that Yuan Gang is another. These two groups keep each other in check and supervise each other. On the periphery, the three sects of Immortal Retaining Sect are considered as one group, and the demon cultivators of Cloud Crossing Mountain are another group … "
Speaking of Cloud Crossing Mountain, Sha Ru thought that Baili Jie's identity had been exposed. Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. Slowly, he asked, "Why did the group of demon cultivators of Cloud Crossing Mountain suddenly go to your side?"
Light flashed in Niu Youdao's eyes. He followed Sha Ru's train of thought and roughly guessed something. He asked with a smile, "What do you want to ask, Mister Sha?"
Sha Ru, "You know Baili Jie's identity. Not long after Baili Jie came into contact with the group of demon cultivators of Cloud Crossing Mountain, those demons suddenly went to your side to help you. Is it really because of the reasons that the Misty Pavilion knows?"
Niu Youdao smiled and asked in reply, "Why did the Misty Pavilion send Baili Jie to contact Cloud Crossing Mountain?"
Sha Ru, "The Misty Pavilion's consumption of Spirit Primary Pills suddenly became abnormal. Naturally, the Misty Pavilion would send someone to find out the reason."
Niu Youdao, "Isn't it normal for the consumption of Spirit Primary Pills to occasionally be abnormal?"
Sha Ru, "Is it normal for the Misty Pavilion's spies in Cloud Crossing Mountain to not know the reason for a sudden large purchase?"
Niu Youdao, "Then what do you want to find out?"
Sha Ru, "You should know what the Nine Saints are guarding against."
Niu Youdao, "Oh, I understand. They are worried that someone will break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and threaten their ruling position. It's just that they are too cautious not to let go of such a small abnormality. "
Sha Ru, "This cautiousness is not without reason. The world is so big and there are all kinds of strange things. In the past, there were cases of people breaking through, but they were killed by the Nine Saints. Let's not talk about the past. On the eve of the fall of Zhao, the Cloud Tool Sect sent three elders to lead a team to rob the Zhao Palace. In the end, the three Supreme Elders of the Cloud Tool Sect disappeared without a trace. In the situation where there was such a big fight in the palace, with the strength of the three of them, no one knew how they disappeared. In that kind of situation, if it wasn't an accident, then it was the appearance of an expert who could easily crush them. It's very likely that there was an Original Infant Stage expert hidden in the Kingdom of Zhao!
Niu Youdao was shocked, "Are you sure?"
Sha Ru, "We can't be sure at the moment, but it is very suspicious. The Nine Saints are already suspicious and have even locked on to a suspect."
Niu Youdao immediately asked, "Who is it?"
Sha Ru, "After combing through all the people in the Zhao Palace, regardless of age or other signs, there is only one person who is the most suspicious. He is an old eunuch who has been with Hai Wuji for several dynasties. His name is Zhuge Chi. Right now, the Nine Saints are secretly tracking the whereabouts of Emperor Zhao, Hai Wuji, and the others. Hai Wuji's mother, the former Empress Dowager of Zhao, Shang Youlan, is already being secretly monitored by the Nine Saints. "
Niu Youdao's eyes flickered, "In other words, as long as we find Hai Wuji, we can find Zhuge Chi?"
Sha Ru, "That should be the case."
Niu Youdao suddenly said in a deep voice, "If this Zhuge Chi is really a Nascent Soul expert, he will be a powerful person to fight against the Nine Saints in the future. We must not let him fall into the hands of the Nine Saints. We must find him before the Nine Saints do. I'm afraid I will have to trouble Mr. Sha to send a message to me later. I will mobilize my people to search for him. "
