Under One Person: The Millennium Plan Exposed by Feng Baobao.

Chapter 52: The Second Alien Organization of the Qing Court, the Sticking Rod Department
Zhang Chulan looked curious.

"Stick rod place?"

"What organization is this?"

"Could it be that besides the Imperial Guard, the Qing court also has many other alien organizations?"

Hearing Zhang Chulan's question, Xu Si began to explain.

"This Sticky Rod Office was originally just a simple intelligence organization. Later, due to the large number of deaths among its intelligence personnel, it sent some people with relatively secretive abilities to serve as members of this intelligence organization."

"The Sticking Rod Division's intelligence capabilities are extremely powerful. Even in the late Qing Dynasty, members of the Sticking Rod Division could be found everywhere in foreign countries."

"The owner of this notebook is very smart. He knows that if he wants to fight against an organization, the most important thing is to cut off its intelligence network first."

"But this sticky rod is very powerful and has a large number of people. I don't know how the owner of the notebook can successfully eradicate it."

"The most important point."

"That means the Tiandihui's intelligence agency must be even more efficient and faster than the Qing court's intelligence agencies!"

After hearing Xu Si's words, everyone immediately understood.

Yes.

The Sticking Rod Department has been operating for who knows how many years. It can even be said that every organization may have undercover agents from the Sticking Rod Department.

The Tiandihui has a weak foundation.

How can intelligence defeat such a behemoth?

Think of this.

Everyone couldn't help but worry about the owner of the notebook.

Zhang Chulan looked at Xu Si.

"Fourth Brother, in this situation, what decision would you make as the leader of the Tiandihui?"

Xu Si didn't even think about it.

"Of course he ran away."

"Take the entire Tiandihui and run away."

"After all, it's just an organization. It doesn't even have an army. How can it fight against the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhang Chulan still wants to try it.

"What if, in terms of individual strength, they are very powerful and can assassinate the leaders of the Sticky Rod Division?"

Xu Si glanced at Zhang Chulan.

"You have no idea of the power of the state apparatus."

"It's just like in this electronic age, if the higher-ups want to know your secrets, they don't even need to arrest you for investigation."

"It's easy to know everything about you from childhood to adulthood."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Has it evolved to this level?

Zhang Chulan wanted to say something else.

Xu Si saw through it at a glance.

"Of course, if you want to avoid this kind of thing, it's best not to use any electronic products from childhood to adulthood."

"Otherwise it is simply unavoidable."

After hearing Xu Si's words, Zhang Chulan swallowed what he wanted to say.

At the same time, I am even more curious about the later fate of the owner of the notebook.

After all, they are not on the same level in terms of size.

What methods will he use to fight against the Qing Dynasty?

Or in other words, whether he succeeded or failed.

"Sister Baoer, please continue reading. I want to hear what happens next."

Feng Baobao nodded.

Then continue reading.

[The Sticking Rod Department's intelligence capabilities are extremely strong. Even within the Tiandihui, many mid-level and high-level officials are their internal spies.]

Although I could eliminate them one by one, that would easily alert the Qing court. Therefore, no one except myself knows of my plan, not even Tang Lian, the current leader of the Tang Clan.

[If you want to defeat the Sticking Rod Department in terms of intelligence, you must obtain more convenient transportation capabilities.]

[I have made up my mind to go to the Huode Sect and steal the Fire Escape Technique right now. Otherwise, defeating the Sticking Rod Division in intelligence work will be a pipe dream.]

After hearing about Huode Sect, Zhang Chulan was excited.

"I'm finally going to Huode Sect to learn the art of escape."

Lu Linglong was a little curious when she saw Zhang Chulan so excited.

"Zhang Chulan, it sounds like you really like this kind of escape method. My great-grandfather's Tongtian Talisman contains a kind of escape talisman. If you had accepted my great-grandfather's Tongtian Talisman back then, you wouldn't have the troubles you have now."

Zhang Chulan was a little curious.

"There are even talismans that can be used to perform escape techniques?" Lu Jin couldn't help but get a little angry when he saw Zhang Chulan's innocent look. This guy had even refused his Tongtian Talisman. Now he was going to tell the kid more about the benefits of the Tongtian Talisman so that he would regret it.

"Chu Lan, my Tongtian Talisman is all-encompassing."

"If you get my Tongtian Talisman, you will probably be able to learn the water escape talisman within it. Then you will be able to access all the water veins in the world."

After saying that, Lu Jin raised his head and looked at Zhang Chulan.

His expression was just about to say "Go and regret this" written all over his face.

Zhang Chulan's face fell when he saw this.

This old man Lu really holds a grudge.

Seeing this, the old Taoist priest looked at Zhang Chulan.

"Chu Lan, we at Tianshi Mansion also have some talisman escape techniques, but you haven't learned them since you were a child in the mountains. When you're not busy in the future, you can come to the mountain and I'll teach you some in person."

Zhang Chulan immediately smiled happily.

"Thank you, Master!"

……

Huodezong is located in the Sichuan and Chongqing regions. When I arrived, it was Chinese New Year. The festival was bustling with people slaughtering pigs, guarding fields, and decorating with lanterns and colorful decorations.

My attire clearly indicated that I was from another region, so some hospitable people from Sichuan and Chongqing invited me to their homes.

[No wonder they say that if you're young, you should visit Sichuan, and if you're old, you'll never leave. Life here is truly peaceful, with beautiful scenery and an abundance of delicious food.]

If a young person with a weak will came here, their fighting spirit would probably be extinguished and they would not be able to muster the courage to strive.

When I went to Tangmen earlier, I was nervous and didn't take in the surrounding scenery.

[Now I feel relaxed, like I'm walking and strolling, heading towards the Huode Sect. Along the way, I've also seen many unique folk customs.]

When I arrived at Huode Sect, it was already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

I disguised myself as a fifteen-year-old boy and, taking advantage of the Lantern Festival, spoke to some members of the Huode Sect. Through these tricks, I learned the requirements for joining the Huode Sect.

[You need a large yellow croaker to join. This large yellow croaker is just a stepping stone. If you can't generate a sense of Qi within ten days, you will be driven down the mountain.]

【From this entry condition, I learned a piece of information. 】

[Although there are various families offering sacrifices to them, Huode Sect is very poor.]

【Not just ordinary poverty.】

Hearing this, everyone looked strange.

Zhang Chulan looked at Xu Si.

"Fourth brother, it's modern now, is Huode Sect still so poor?"

Xu Si thought about it carefully and then nodded.

“Yes, modern times are still very poor.”

"Logically speaking, the Huode Sect has a lot of industries now, but for some reason, they always give people a poor feeling."

"You should have seen the little fire god at the Luotian Grand Ceremony."

Zhang Chulan nodded.

I remembered the appearance of the little Vulcan.

"Fourth brother, now that you've reminded me, I really remember that the little Vulcan's clothes are still patched."

"Why was it so poor during the Qing Dynasty and still so poor today?"

Xu Si shook his head.

"I'm not sure, but I think it's related to the practice they're doing."

"Otherwise, my clothes wouldn't be covered in patches."

After hearing this, everyone was curious about what would happen next.

After all, this concerns the secrets of Huode Sect. It is normal that they don’t know about it, but now they have a channel to find out.

……

I don't know why the Huode Sect is so poor, but I don't need a large yellow croaker, so the next day I went to the Huode Sect's mountain gate to learn from them.

After taking out a large yellow croaker, the Huode Sect member guarding the mountain was so excited that he practically jumped up to inform the Huode Sect leader.

I later learned that due to the stringent entry requirements, Huo De Zong had been closed for over two years. To supplement their income, Huo De Zong disciples began learning Sichuan cuisine. Because of their exceptional fire control, they mastered the cooking process to perfection, resulting in incredibly delicious dishes. Chefs from Huo De Zong were highly sought after by major restaurants in Sichuan and Chongqing, sometimes even resulting in fistfights.

Among them was a member of the Huode Sect named Liu Angxing, who had an exceptional talent for cooking. He was directly introduced by the then Governor-General of Sichuan and Chongqing to become the head chef at Yangquan Restaurant, the largest restaurant in Dongguang Province.

[I was once invited by my subordinates to eat at this restaurant, and the food was indeed very good.]

[I just didn't expect it to be someone from the Huode Sect. This is truly a perfect coincidence.]

[Over time, some members of the Huo De Sect, after making money outside, became reluctant to return to the Huo De Sect. After all, they still had to hand over their wages and savings, and they felt much more relaxed outside than within the sect.]

[For various reasons, the Huode Sect became so impoverished.]
