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

The Gray Feathers you dispatched were also attacked, and your losses continue to mount.

The Zhou family's long-awaited revenge came with a vengeance that was both fierce and overwhelming.

To minimize losses, you choose:

[1. Shrink the Ink Feather Tower and abandon non-core members.]

2. Activate the core members and begin the process of eliminating the Zhou family.

[3. Personally commanded the Moyu Tower operation, launching a full-scale war against the aristocratic families.]

[4. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: 2]

Su Chen frowned.

In his eyes, the Zhou family's actions gave him a sense of impending doom.

Although Moyu Tower's strongholds and members have suffered repeated blows, in Su Chen's eyes, the Zhou family's actions should go far beyond this.

The other party's true purpose has never been revealed.

More importantly, Moyu Tower's intelligence system was almost paralyzed.

Moyu Tower received no warning of the Zhou family's series of actions.

They were like blind men, only able to fend off cold arrows from the shadows.

"We are far from going to war with the powerful families; they are still useful."

Su Chen immediately ruled out the third option.

If too many members of the aristocratic families are killed, they will unite and rebel, which Jiang Li cannot stop at present.

As for eliminating the Zhou family, that's not out of the question.

But now, Su Chen was a little hesitant to believe the intelligence that Mo Yulou had previously obtained from within the Zhou family.

What exactly is Zhou Zhongguang hiding right under his nose?

Whether it's taking down a stronghold at the same time or targeting the Gray Feathers he sent out, Zhou Zhongguang could command a considerable number of martial arts experts.

This has never been mentioned in Moyu Tower's intelligence reports over the years.

Only now did Su Chen suddenly realize a problem.

I seem to know very little about Zhou Chongguang and the Zhou family.

What he knew was only the most superficial information; it seemed that Mo Yulou had never uncovered anything truly concerning the core of the Zhou family.

Therefore, it is even more important not to rashly attack the Zhou family.

Choose 1!

To preserve your strength, you chose to sacrifice a pawn to save the king.

[A large number of non-core members have been ordered by you to go into hiding, awaiting the day they are reactivated.]

The publicly known core members are gathered in a few hidden strongholds.

[Years of hard work have been largely wasted.]

Everything seems to have returned to square one.

The Zhou family's actions have never ceased. Non-core members have been slaughtered, and core members have been tracked down. Numerous hidden strongholds of the Moyu Tower have been eliminated by the Zhou family.

You realized something was wrong.

【Your choice:】

[1. Activate the core pieces to achieve victory in one decisive battle.]

2. Contact the northern regions and seek foreign aid.

3. Retreat and lie low, waiting for the right opportunity.

[4. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: 2]

Su Chen immediately ruled out the first option; activating the pawn hidden in the Zhou family now would probably have no effect.

As for contacting the North, that would be tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

Balth appears to be honest, but in reality, he is constantly engaging in underhanded tactics.

His desire to head south never ceased.

As for continuing to cower and lie low, for Mo Yu Lou, it's likely just waiting to die.

If we don't erupt in silence, we will be slaughtered in silence.

Seeing the rapidly deteriorating situation, Su Chen also sensed that something was wrong.

The Zhou family seemed to have supernatural powers; no matter where the members of Moyu Tower hid, they could always be found.

From the Zhou family's attack on the stronghold to the collapse and retreat of Moyu Tower.

At most, it will only last for half a month.

These past two weeks have been a devastating blow to Mo Yulou.

"Moyu Tower, an organization that specializes in intelligence, actually died because of its intelligence?"

The fact that the Zhou family has been able to achieve this level of success can only mean one thing.

Someone from Moyu Tower has been turned!

Moreover, this person is of high status!

"One wrong move and you almost lost the whole game."

I need to see which bastard betrayed Mo Yu Lou.

Choose 4!

The familiar dizziness returned once again.

When Su Chen opened his eyes, he was already in the Pei Mansion in the capital.

In the past few years, Pei family members had been arranged by him to be stationed in various parts of the dynasty.

The once vast Pei residence now seemed rather deserted.

"This time, Zhou Chongguang's move is likely to be a fight to the death."

I need to go and discuss this with Jiang Li.

Regardless of who wins or loses this game, he and Jiang Liming cannot maintain a facade of harmony.

"Why did you contact me all of a sudden?"

Although Jiang Li was very happy to see Pei Yichen.

But right now, she is more worried than anything else.

With Moyu Tower suffering heavy losses and the Zhou family making a comeback, the situation is extremely dangerous for them.

"I need someone to act as bait."

Chapter 23 The Maid Becomes Empress

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Li looked at Su Chen with some confusion.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen immediately voiced his thoughts.

After listening to the plan, Jiang Li remained silent for a short while before speaking.

"Inside the Moyu Tower, besides the two of us, there are two Gray Feathers and one Moyu who have access to a lot of intelligence."

You mean to drop a bombshell big enough to test who the mole is?

Su Chen nodded.

Without eliminating the traitor, Moyu Tower cannot proceed with any further actions.

"However, given Zhou Zhongguang's cautious nature, even if we throw out the bait, he might not take the bait."

After years of confrontation, it was thought that Zhou Zhongguang had given up after lying low for so long.

Unexpectedly, in the end, she received such a resounding slap in the face.

"Then give him an irresistible bait."

Su Chen's gaze fell on Jiang Li.

No one in Moyu Tower knew that Cuiping was Jiang Li.

Even Mo Yu, who was assigned to the palace, was unaware of this matter.

Perhaps he could deduce the connection from some clues.

Speculation and confirmation are two different things.

Zhou Chongguang is not the type to submit to others.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to activate the mole planted in the Han family five years ago, allowing the Black Armor Army to storm the palace.

After that incident, the Han family was ruined.

The Zhou family, however, remains the same Zhou family.

"You want to throw me out?"

Jiang Li looked into Pei Yichen's eyes and immediately understood.

Only a very few people knew about the relationship between the two of them.

Inside the Moyu Tower, the one who truly possessed this intelligence was...

Only Pei Yichen.

"This time, the Zhou family will not back down; they will see it through to the end."

Zhou Zhongguang had endured for so long; now that he had taken action, he couldn't possibly give up halfway.

If given the chance to kill Jiang Li, Zhou Zhongguang would definitely not let it go.
