It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

We need to properly address the problems within Moyu Tower itself.

With its rapid development in recent years, Moyu Tower has seen an explosive growth in the number of its low- and middle-level members.

However, the large number of people began to create other problems.

For example, betrayal.

It doesn't matter to the peripheral members, but those White Feathers who are about to advance to Gray Feather are already considered core members.

They actually started to rebel and break away from the organization.

White Feathers will not pose a threat to Moyu Tower for the time being, but who knows if there are similar beings among Gray Feathers?

Pei Yichen is now training reliable Gray Feathers with the aim of helping him eliminate the Ink Feather Tower.

From then on, most of the information about Minister Pei consisted of his romantic escapades.

[Especially with the new concubines arriving every month, your reputation is practically synonymous with promiscuity.]

However, the people of the capital all silently watched over their wives and daughters.

[So that you don't take a fancy to it and snatch it away.]

You've been keeping an eye on the situation in the North.

[After you turned the North upside down that time, the North behaved itself for half a year.]

However, you know that the North simply hasn't had the time or resources to deal with this yet.

Given time, they will surely make a comeback.

As Minister of War, you began to implement sweeping reforms.

However, this involved the interests of powerful families, leading to many government orders being implemented with lip service and defiance.

You know these things can't be rushed, but intelligence from the North forces you to speed things up.

[Moyu Tower is beginning to show its talent to the aristocratic families.]

[Years of lurking, culminating in something utterly deadly.]

Cutting off an arm to survive is always better than running aground and sinking.

Even if the powerful families are unwilling, they are still cooperating with your policies.

The military needs time to rejuvenate, and local communities also need time to recover and rebuild.

[The infiltration of Moyu Tower also helped Jiang Li begin implementing local reforms.]

Everything seems to be slowly getting better.

"Our people are not yet able to enter the core positions."

However, at this rate, it should be under control within two or three years at most.

Jiang Li lay comfortably on the council chair.

The emergence of Moyu Tower has been nothing short of invincible.

The powerful families, having been caught red-handed, made concessions in many areas.

The entire dynasty now looks somewhat refreshing.

"Don't be happy too early."

Pei Yichen silently looked out the window.

"The Zhou family hasn't made any major moves; they've been unusually quiet."

For half a year, Zhou Zhongguang did not react in the slightest to their actions.

It seems to be left to their own devices.

Several members of the Moyu Tower who had infiltrated the area were killed.

Pei Yichen wasn't particularly clear about the internal situation of the Zhou family.

"It is an inevitable trend."

Even if the Zhou family resists, the situation will not change.

That old guy must be scared, right?

Jiang Li looked at Pei Yichen. After half a year of training, her martial arts skills had become increasingly powerful.

But the higher her martial arts skills became, the more she felt Pei Yichen's strength.

He can currently exchange more than ten blows with Bei Dao, but he can never last more than three blows against Pei Yichen.

Jiang Li even suspected that Pei Yichen had entered the realm of Grandmaster.

"If he were afraid, he wouldn't have become the Right Chancellor."

Perhaps he's waiting for his chance to turn the tide.

The chaos that had gripped the northern lands for six months has finally subsided somewhat.

The second prince succeeded in the struggle for the throne and now holds almost complete control of power within the northern region.

According to Moyu Tower's intelligence, the enemy still seems to have plans to move south.

But Barth prioritized matters of state that concerned the people.

Tax reductions and exemptions, with emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce.

The northern region began to develop rapidly.

You know in your heart that this will be a formidable opponent.

The Zhou family has always been in a state of semi-death, clearly riddled with weaknesses, yet Mo Yulou's infiltration has consistently failed to reach its core.

However, you didn't take it too seriously.

Just as Jiang Li said, the existence of Moyu Tower has restrained the aristocratic families.

With your precautions, any movement by the Zhou family will be immediately exposed.

You can easily counter any situation.

After six months of training, the gray feathers in your household have improved considerably.

[But if they want to become Mo Yu, they must undergo the trials of the mission.]

You begin by gradually sending them out to gain experience.

Everything seems to be developing in the direction you predicted...

Chapter 22 One move is missing

The Zhou family has been lying low for a long time.

[He doesn't act unless it's absolutely necessary, but when he does, it's earth-shattering.]

[Moyu Tower's strongholds in multiple locations have been attacked.]

[The two most severely affected strongholds were almost completely destroyed.]

Moyu Tower's business has been severely affected.

It's reached a point where you have no choice but to deal with it.

【Your choice:】

[1. Dispatch the newly trained Gray Feathers to various locations to stabilize the Ink Feather Tower stronghold.]

2. Assemble the forces of Moyu Tower to carry out revenge against the Zhou family.

3. Personally go to the attacked stronghold and hunt down the perpetrators.

[4. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: 2]

"Prime Minister Zhou is indeed Prime Minister Zhou. He gave me a warning right from the start."

Looking at the information in front of him, Su Chen sighed inwardly. More than ten of Mo Yu Lou's strongholds were attacked simultaneously.

This means that the Zhou family had already made corresponding plans.

Even more serious than the attacks on these strongholds was that Moyu Tower failed to collect any useful information before and after the Zhou family's operation.

The Zhou family was no longer under their surveillance.

"The Moyu Tower has been hit, which is equivalent to its eyes and ears being blocked."

Moreover, all intelligence sources are currently relying too heavily on Moyu Tower.

The Zhou family's move truly hit their weak spot.

Su Chen carefully analyzed the current situation.

We can't just ignore the power we've worked so hard to build.

But since Zhou Chongguang had already taken action, it was impossible for him to only be aiming at attacking the stronghold.

That old guy always thinks three steps ahead before taking one.

After lying in wait for so long, taking down the stronghold is probably just an appetizer.

"Let's hold our ground and see what this old man does next."

Choose 1!

Having just completed their training, Grayfeather desperately needs mission experience.

[You took this opportunity to send them out, partly to stabilize the normal operation of the various strongholds, and partly to observe the Zhou family's next move.]

[The Zhou family is as you predicted.]

Destroying Moyu Tower's stronghold was only the first step in their operation.

[Then, most of the spies embedded within the powerful families were destroyed overnight.]

All your years of planning have been ruined.

[The control that Moyu Tower exerted over the aristocratic families has almost completely disappeared.]

The once promising situation plummeted to rock bottom in an instant.
