That night, the entire royal capital was mobilized urgently. Officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs rushed back and forth, intensively arranging various troop deployment and logistics support tasks. The Forbidden Army also rushed to the Night Owl headquarters under the leadership of Li Yu.
Normally, in the current war, no king would easily purge his capable subordinates, especially the spy department that holds many secrets. After all, taking action rashly will most likely lead to resistance from the other side, thus affecting the entire war situation. Therefore, in the current war, the top priority is to appease people's hearts and stabilize the situation.
However, Ye Xiao repeatedly broke through King Beidi's bottom line, and became more and more excessive. He even dared to assassinate the eunuchs and officials of the headquarters, causing both political and military orders to be blocked. This kind of damage was even worse than the death of soldiers on the direct battlefield. Be heavy.
It wasn't King Beidi who took the risk, but Ye Xiao forced King Beidi to take the risk!
As long as you move quickly enough, before Night Owl reacts, and control and kill the core characters as much as possible, you can control the situation.
Unfortunately, the reality is often extremely cruel. After all, Ye Xiao is a spy organization with all-seeing eyes and ears. From the moment the Beidi King summoned Li Yu, the parties within Ye Xiao already smelled the danger. They knew that the Beidi King would not negotiate or weigh with them. Instead, they would show their butcher's knife without hesitation, so except for the imperial party and the neutral party that followed Li Yu, all the remaining parties responded almost immediately.
This also directly led to internal strife and fighting among the Night Owls. The Imperial Party could not tell who was a traitor and who was trying to protect themselves. Therefore, anyone who tried to escape from the headquarters was killed by the Imperial Party.
The other factions did not expect that the Imperial Party would act so decisively. For a time, the entire Ye Xiao headquarters was enveloped in a bloody storm.
However, the one-sided massacre did not last long, and each of the Night Owls had special skills. The surviving Night Owls soon began to launch a fierce counterattack.
Moreover, the Imperial Party's willingness to kill the wrongdoer rather than let go has also caused the Imperial Party to become the target of public criticism. Those Night Owls who had no intention of rebelling at first also resolutely joined the siege against the Imperial Party. Although the Imperial Party was the strongest, it could not withstand being surrounded on all sides. A large number of casualties soon occurred.
The situation that was originally under control immediately became extremely chaotic, and countless night owls took advantage of the chaos to escape. The remaining night owls had no intention of fighting and would run away as long as they had the chance.
As more and more Night Owls fled, the Imperial Party once again took the initiative and launched an indiscriminate massacre of the remaining Night Owls.
When Li Yu pushed open the door of Ye Xiao headquarters, he was stunned by the sight in front of him.
The entire Night Owl headquarters seemed to be soaked in blood. The strong smell of blood hit his face, and corpses could be seen everywhere, lying in front of him.
Before coming, Li Yu had already planned a strategy to rely on the advantages of the imperial party to stabilize the neutral party and those speculative parties who were purely seeking money. Although the neutral party lacked loyalty, their crimes were not fatal. If they were spurred on, they could continue to contribute. , and although opportunistic parties will be severely punished, it will not be in the short term.
Li Yu will gather all available forces to thoroughly clean up the spies and gangsters lurking within Ye Xiao.
Unfortunately, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the scene he was most worried about happened.
The moment King Beidi issued the order, a chain reaction occurred. These night owls are ruthless characters who kill without blinking an eye, so naturally they will not sit still and wait to be killed...
This fierce resistance and chaos made even a minister with deep knowledge of the city like Li Yu feel his head buzzing.
The entire royal capital was suddenly in chaos!
Li Yu knew that Lu Li's interception and killing of Qin Feng would definitely lead to a catastrophe, but he did not expect that this catastrophe would come so fiercely and quickly.
The moment he decided to attack Changshui County, Qin Feng would definitely use all his strength to fight back.
And the chaos in front of him is also Qin Feng's handiwork!
As early as a long time ago, Qin Feng had already begun to infiltrate all aspects of Beidi. He was just dormant in the dark, waiting for the opportunity. But now the opportunity has come. All the mines Qin Feng buried in Beidi detonated at the same time. This chaos and catastrophe, since it was unexpected It's outside of the norm, but it's also within reason.
At this moment, the imperial party rushed over. Li Yu's face was ashen and he asked in a deep voice: "How many people ran away!"
The Imperial Night Owl also beat his chest and sighed: "The exact number is unknown, but it is conservatively estimated that there are at least fifty people!"
Fifty people...
Li Yu felt dizzy in front of his eyes. This number doesn't sound like a lot, but you have to know... these fifty people all hold important responsibilities in the Night Owl headquarters. Each of them has hundreds of Night Owls under his command. In this way, , the number of rebellious night owls will be incalculable. The most terrifying thing is that these night owls more or less hold some secrets...
It’s over! Completely finished!
Li Yu clenched his fists, unclenched them, and clenched them again. He had never been so confused and entangled in his life. The timing of Qin Feng's attack was so perfect.
Heavy snow has sealed the mountains and a once-in-a-century freeze has caused the entire Beidi political situation to be unresponsive. Coupled with the lack of national power, those troops in the northern border of Liang who had no worries about food and clothing would naturally advance with great success. It was at the most vulnerable time in Beidi that Qin Feng ignited these hidden thunderstorms, and the court was very close to being paralyzed!
no……
We must seize the last chance!
Li Yu turned around and roared at the crowd behind him: "Go and inform His Majesty and General Chen to immediately launch a fierce attack on Changshui County at all costs. We must seize Qin Feng before the court is paralyzed, otherwise... the danger of national subjugation is imminent. So close!"
Capturing Qin Feng, using Qin Feng as a hostage, threatening the Liang Kingdom and the Northern Territory, and allowing Beidi to breathe. This is the last chance. If even this opportunity cannot be grasped, then the entire empire, from the King of Beidi to the imperial party, will inevitably collapse. .
Just when the whole city of the royal capital was under martial law and everyone's nerves were tense to the extreme, Ye Xiao's figure appeared in almost all the residences of important officials of the six departments.
Despite the high-pressure search under martial law throughout the city, many night owls were captured and beheaded on the spot.
However, there were still a large number of key members of Night Owl, who gathered their subordinates and began a fierce counterattack in order to survive.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was preparing to go to the headquarters, but before he could go out, he was caught by the night owl and forced into a blind corner of the wall, where all the relatives and servants around him were massacred without exception.
The leader of the Night Owl's eyes were extremely cold: "My lord, now is the time for you to choose a side. If I were you, I would definitely make the right choice. Otherwise, it is inevitable that the family will be destroyed."
"All the evidence that you and lower-level officials were embezzled and violated the law are recorded in my hands!"
