Nirvana Phoenix Song

Chapter 27: Cracks Begin to Appear

Since Feng Tangyue responded strongly to the joint memorial of Zuo Xiang and others in the court, the wind in the court began to change. After seeing Feng Tangyue's decisiveness and determination, those officials who had been wavering gradually tended to support the reform, and even some local forces quietly expressed their loyalty to the court. However, the counterattack forces in the dark did not stop, but became more secretive and dangerous.

One night, when Feng Tangyue was reviewing government affairs in the cold palace, Xiaoshi hurried into the study, his face more nervous than usual.

"Your Highness, we just received urgent news from the north that there are unusual movements in the Mingfeng family!" Xiao Shi said in a low voice, holding an urgent secret letter in his hand.

Feng Tangyue raised her head, frowned slightly, took the letter and quickly started reading. As each line of words came into her eyes, her expression gradually became more solemn. The letter mentioned that Mingfeng Xuanming seemed to have secretly gathered a force and was preparing to contact the supernatural families in the east and south to form a new rebel alliance.

"Xuan Ming is indeed unwilling to accept this." Feng Tangyue said softly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Xiao Shi asked worriedly, "Your Highness, Mingfeng Xuanming's actions this time are so secretive, could it be that he wants to start another uprising in the local area while we are investigating the forces in the court?"

Feng Tangyue smiled coldly, "He obviously thought that we have no time to take care of the north, and planned to take this opportunity to expand our power. But he was wrong. Every step of the Mingfeng Family is under our control."

She stood up, walked to the bookshelf, took down a map, spread it on the table, and scanned several key nodes in the north and east with a sharp gaze. "Mingfeng Xuanming intends to use the resources in the east to consolidate their rebellion plan, but I won't give him any chance this time."

Feng Tangyue made a quick decision and said firmly, "Xiao Shi, gather the best troops in the army immediately and prepare to split them into two groups. One group will head straight to the north, and the other group will head to the east. Before they can even form a conspiracy, we must completely dismantle it."

Although Xiaoshi was surprised by the decisiveness of this action, he had full confidence in Feng Tangyue's judgment and immediately took the order and left.

-

The next day, Feng Tangyue personally led an elite force and quietly headed north. On the way, her heart was full of vigilance and tension. Although she had taken the most decisive action, Mingfeng Xuanming's cunning made her unable to take it lightly.

A few days later, Feng Tangyue and her group quietly arrived at the northern border. The territory of the Mingfeng family was still peaceful, but she could sense the murderous intent hidden in the city. Mingfeng Xuanming's action was so secretive this time, and it was obvious that he had made full preparations and was waiting for the right time to launch a fatal attack.

Feng Tangyue looked at the city wall in front of her, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She knew that she had to take the initiative to break Xuanming's conspiracy.

"We can't attack the Mingfeng family directly." Feng Tangyue whispered to the generals around him, "Xuanming's forces have deployed defenses in the city. We need to find his command center first and destroy his communication lines so that he can't unite with other supernatural families."

The general nodded and immediately sent a team to secretly gather intelligence.

-

As night fell, the Mingfeng Family's mansion was still brightly lit. Feng Tangyue's spies quickly reported that Xuanming's command center was located in a secret room deep in the mansion, and he was preparing to hold a secret meeting with several supernatural family leaders in the east in three days to discuss the coalition.

A cold light flashed in Feng Tangyue's eyes, "It seems that Xuanming's plan has reached the final step, but he didn't expect that we are faster than him."

She immediately ordered: "Tonight, we will sneak into Mingfeng Mansion, destroy his command center, and cut off his communication with the east. We must fight quickly and not give him any chance to breathe."

The elite team immediately got ready, and the murderous aura in the dark night became more intense.

-

At midnight, the lights in Mingfeng Mansion were dim. The guards had long been accustomed to the tranquility of the north and were unaware. Feng Tangyue and his group quietly sneaked into the depths of the mansion and approached Xuanming's command room.

"Your Highness, the secret room is ahead, and our people have already controlled the outer guards." Xiaoshi said in a low voice.

Feng Tangyue nodded slightly, with a cold light in her eyes, "Do it."

The elite soldiers quickly took action, and several guards were quickly subdued before they could react. The door of the secret room was quietly opened. Feng Tangyue personally led the team into the secret room. Xuanming was leaning over the table, busy dispatching his communication lines. He obviously did not expect someone to break in directly, and raised his head in astonishment.

"Feng Tangyue?!" Xuan Ming shouted, his face full of shock and disbelief.

Feng Tangyue looked at him with a sneer, her tone cold: "Xuan Ming, your plan ends here."

Xuan Ming's face darkened instantly. He stood up slowly, with a hint of madness in his eyes. "Feng Tangyue, do you think you can overthrow my Mingfeng Family with just a few people? The power of the north is far beyond your imagination. My alliance has been formed. Unless you are willing to plunge Feng Country into endless war, you will not act rashly."

Feng Tangyue was not moved at all, her eyes were like knives, "You are wrong, Xuanming. Your alliance has not yet been formed, and your only chance will disappear tonight."

She waved her hand, and Xiao Shi immediately took out a letter and handed it to Xuan Ming, "This is a handwritten letter from the leader of the Eastern Supernatural Family. They have already reached an agreement with the court, and your coalition will never be formed."

Xuan Ming took the letter, unfolded it hurriedly, and his face changed suddenly. The content of the letter was like a heavy hammer that shattered all his fantasies.

"You..." Xuan Ming widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Feng Tangyue said coldly: "Your power is just a dying struggle in front of me. The Mingfeng Family once had the opportunity to return to the court, but you chose to betray. Now, you have to pay the price for your decision."

She gave the order without hesitation: "Take Xuanming away and destroy his forces as well."

Xuan Ming roared in anger, but he was powerless to resist. Feng Tangyue acted quickly and decisively, and the rebellion plan of the Mingfeng family was completely thwarted. Xuan Ming was also escorted to the imperial city to stand trial.

-

With Xuanming's defeat, the rebellious forces in the north and east had no chance to breathe, and the court's reforms were consolidated again. Feng Tangyue stood on the northern city wall, the cold wind blew on her face, but her heart was full of determination.

"Give the conspiracy an end, not the end a conspiracy."

She knew that every step of the reform was full of challenges, but she never wavered. She would continue to promote the reform until every inch of Fengguo's land was brand new.
