This Blue Phoenix is the woman who was poisoned by Helianqing's people and infected Heliansong. Her name here is Cailian.
Xiang Chen nodded slightly: "No need to be polite, just sit down."
It was a coincidence that this woman was an informant in the Demon Saint's residence.
Xiang Chen also sensed it through the Dragon Phoenix Token at that time, and the other party's name was on the list, so he confirmed the other party's identity.
Cailian sat opposite Xiang Chen. Xiang Chen took the initiative and said, "You have been lurking in the Demon Saint Residence for many years, and you must have come into contact with many dignitaries who come here for entertainment. Do you have any useful information?"
Cailian quickly took out a jade slip, offered it with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is the information that my subordinates have collected here over the years that they think is useful, and have recorded it. Please take a look at it."
Xiang Chen took it and looked through it with his spiritual mind. It did record a lot of things, including some secrets of officials in the Northern Sea Demon City, as well as secrets about the big families. There was a lot of information.
However, one of them, a relatively recent piece of information, caught Xiang Chen's attention.
That was the content of a conversation that a general from the North Sea Demon Army had with others when he came here. Cailian was waiting nearby. It mentioned that the Dragon Palace in the North Sea was gathering troops and was suspected of preparing to launch a war.
"General Wang Lanhu, please tell me in detail about this information." Xiang Chen said to her.
Cailian nodded and said softly: "This General Wang Lanhu came to my place for a drink eighty-three years ago. At that time, the three elders of the Wenren family were drinking with him. I was waiting next to him and heard two people drinking together.
The person mentioned this matter when he was talking, so he recorded it."
"General Wang Lanhu said that Beihai Dragon Palace has been recruiting a large number of troops and training troops in recent years, and may launch a war against the entire Beihai Sea of Demons——"
She recounted in detail what she heard at that time, and Xiang Chen narrowed his eyes after listening.
Is it possible that the expansion of the Beihai Demon Army this time is related to this?
As a newly selected general of the Chinese army, I obviously don't know this news yet, so as not to affect the morale of the army.
"If this is true, then I have to think carefully about my options -"
Xiang Chen secretly thought that the scale of such a war must be very grand. Once the two sides fight, the strongest men at the supreme level of heaven and earth will probably be involved in it. He has to leave some escape routes.
"This is a very useful piece of information. You did a very good job." Xiang Chen did not hesitate to praise him.
"Thank you sir, thank you very much. As long as it can be useful to the organization." Cailian lowered her head slightly.
Then she hesitated for a moment and hesitated: "Sir - I -"
“If you have anything to say, it’s okay to say it.”
"Subordinate, I would like to ask, when can I return to the Heaven of Creation, the Divine Land of the Heavens -" She asked this question with some trepidation.
As an intelligence spy lurking in another country, you are far away from your homeland and relatives, endure humiliation, and take risks. You can imagine the pressure.
Xiang Chen is already an expert in this profession and knows the pain involved. He didn't answer immediately after hearing this. He took a sip of wine and said after a while: "I will let you go back within five thousand years, and at most five thousand years, if you keep insisting,
!”
When Cailian heard this, her beautiful eyes became a little brighter and a little more excited. Five thousand years was not worth mentioning for the long time she spent lurking here, and it would pass quickly.
"Thank you, sir!" She stood up and saluted solemnly.
Xiang Chen thought for a while, took out a storage bag, and put some things in it: "Inside are the rewards from the organization and myself for your years of hiding. As for your achievements, I will report and apply for you."
Cai Lian's divine thoughts found out that there were 10 million golden beads of faith, a set of Taichu defensive divine armor, and two Tiandao tea fruits. She was already in the early stage of the Tiandao realm, and the Tiandao tea fruits would naturally be of great use to her in the future.
.
"Thank you, sir, and thank you for the organization." She knelt down and accepted it without being polite.
Xiang Chen waved his hand: "I will tell the shopkeeper Qingju to help take care of you more in the future. During these five thousand years, you can find and train another informant to replace you. If you need any resources, just tell me. You are welcome.
."
Cailian stood up and said: "Yes, I already have an apprentice. She was also born as a poor girl. She was sold here by her father due to gambling debts. I have been training and supporting her, and she will take over my job in the future. Sir, do you have any idea?"
I will introduce her to you when the time comes."
"Okay." Xiang Chen didn't say anything more.
Cailian blushed again and whispered: "Do you need—do you need me to serve you, sir?"
"No need, from now on you can just treat me as your brother, step back and rest."
"Yes, Cailian has retired." Cailian's heart felt warm with respect, but also felt a little inexplicable.
Xiang Chen looked at her back and sighed slightly.
In the operation of a huge hidden organization, there are too many people like Cailian who can't help but persevere silently in the darkness. Who said that only those who stand in the light are heroes? There are people who protect the purity of so many people with the dirt all over their bodies.
They are not without regrets. No one is willing to live this kind of life, even if they have lofty ideals in their hearts.
People who can suppress their own inner suffering and stand up for others are worthy of lifelong respect.
After meeting Cailian, Xiang Chen left the Demon Holy Residence and then returned, changing his identity and room, preparing to meet another more important hidden figure.
Not long after, a burly man came to Xiang Chen's room, closed the door, and looked at Xiang Chen.
"Are you a black dragon?" Xiang Chen asked directly.
"Yes, you are -"
Xiang Chen directly took out the Dragon Phoenix token. After the other party took a look at it, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Anbu member Heijiao, alias Yang Nian, pays homage to Lord Dragon Phoenix!"
Yang Nian, a general in the Beihai Sky Demon Army, is still a veteran, and his cultivation level is at the ninth level of the Taichu Holy Emperor.
He was originally a high-level insider lurking in Beihai Tianyao Mansion.
"Please take a seat." Xiang Chen offered him a glass of wine. The other party thanked him and sat down, his body upright.
Xiang Chen smiled and said: "General Yang has been lurking for many years. It's really hard. Thanks to heroes like you who work silently behind the scenes, Heaven can strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away."
Yang Nian took the drink and said modestly: "Your Excellency, you are very grateful. Heaven and the organization have nurtured us and supported us until today. These things are what we should do."
Xiang Chen clinked glasses with the other party, and then continued: "I got an intelligence message that Beihai Dragon Palace may start a war against Bei Yaohai. Do you know the situation?"
