After Xiao Yan sent his cultivators to act, he did not forget to arrange for people to follow him from afar.

This is not to prevent the rebellion of Khurpa and others, but just in case. In the case that the other party's operation failed, and it was too late to escape, and she could not report the news, she could know the mission situation in time.

Lurking in Yanping City, she can't help but be careless.

Because of this arrangement, Xiao Yan was well aware of the changes that occurred in various parts of the city at the first time. But it is precisely because she knows it well that she has withstood the blow of almost five thunderbolts.

As soon as the hour came, the action of attacking the various halls of Yipinlou suffered a head-on blow at the same time.

After some of them attacked the entrance of the Yipinlou Hall, they were attacked by the cultivators of the Yipinlou inside, followed by a large number of masters who rushed out of the nearby houses.

Some of them had just come out of the houses where they were hiding, and before they could rush out into the street, they were overwhelmed by a tidal wave of cultivators who surrounded them on all sides and had no end in sight.

The officials of Jingzhao Mansion were intercepted by the masters of the Duwei Mansion with the strong men of the Jiangmen before they entered the battle area, and then a team of government soldiers arrived and completely controlled them.

There were twenty or thirty action teams tonight, and after getting the news that the fifth mission had failed, Xiao Yan quickly entered the tunnel to hide under the protection of the two old men with white eyebrows and black eyebrows.

Standing in front of the mural depicting half of the Great Qi Dynasty and Yanping City, Xiao Yan's face became worse and worse as the news came back one by one.

In a short period of time, not to mention the news of failure, most of her strongholds, including various shops, restaurants, and private houses, were attacked.

Because the elite manpower of each stronghold participated in tonight's operation against Yipinlou, the internal defense was empty, but there was Beihu Xizuo left.

The attackers were numerous and powerful, and as soon as they attacked, they uprooted the various strongholds and captured the fine work inside on the spot. Seeing that the situation was not good, some Beihu chose to commit suicide on the spot in order to avoid being arrested and tortured.

More detailed works were either caught on the spot because they were too late, or because they hesitated for a while, so that the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion were escorted back to the Governor's Mansion to patrol the city.

Xiao Yan looked at the agate stones and goose warm stones on the huge mural in front of her, and her heart ached.

It's gone, it's all gone. The power she has painstakingly managed for many years has been completely destroyed today! The world she opened up in Daqi has disappeared like a dandelion on this mid-spring night.

The picture in front of me is meaningless.

Xiao Yan's breath was chaotic, her face turned blue and white, and blood soon overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

She was unwilling.

Because she didn't know why she had failed, why she had lost so completely, she was in pain.

The failure of the operation to attack the various halls of Yipinlou shows that the other party has detected her intentions early, so that many masters and strong people can be ambushed in the nearby houses early.

Their whereabouts have long been controlled by the other party.

It's almost impossible.

Xiao Yan thought to herself that her subordinates were all elites, and the eyeliner of Yipinlou before was discovered by her people, and she also tracked it to the various halls of Yipinlou in turn, why is it like this now?

Each stronghold was wiped out, which means that the other party followed Yipinlou's eyeliner like her people, and in turn secretly followed her people, which led to her power being completely controlled by the other party.

She even suspects now that the reason why the people of Yipinlou were exposed was completely intentional by the other party! Only when her people began to follow each other and probe the entrances of Yipinlou one by one, would they walk out of the darkness to the streets.

Only in this way can the other party track down her people in turn and find out her strongholds!

But it takes a lot of elite spies.

There are not so many elite spies in Yanping City, whether it is the Duwei Mansion or the Jingzhao Mansion, their fast catch is just a group of pampered wastes in Xiao Yan's eyes, even if there are a few capable ones, their ability is limited.

There is only one place where there can be so many scouts like this.

Barrack.

It has to be a border army barracks.

Daqi, who has not had a major war for a hundred years, is also pampered by the Central Forbidden Army, and there will not be such a strong scout.

Only the army stationed on the border has such an elite.

Jizhou Shanhaiguan, Daizhou Yanmen Pass, Longyou Yumen Pass......

From these border troops, a large number of elite scouts were mobilized into the capital, and it was necessary to directly order the Metropolitan Governor's Office. Why did the Metropolitan Government give such an order?

Unless Zhao Xuanji knew early on that there were many Beihu in Yanping City.

In other words, Zhao Xuanji is likely to be clear about her Xiao Yan's behavior in Daqi.

This is what frightened Xiao Yan the most.

How could Zhao Xuanji know about the existence of her power?

How was she exposed?

Xiao Yan pondered and meditated, but couldn't get an answer.

When the state failed, she was so clueless.

Not only that, tonight's operation requires a number of elite masters in the goalkeeper clan to be dispatched. These generals, because they lost in the civil and military battles before, were very dissatisfied with Zhao Xuan, and they should not cooperate like this.

But tonight, they obeyed Zhao Xuanji's transfer.

Xiao Yan knew that if it weren't for the fact that the Liu family was defeated by the Zhao family, there would not be a situation like tonight.

And that's not all.

Today is the day when the men will jointly deal with the Zhao family, and the attention of the men is on the Zhao family. The Zhao clan didn't have too many clansmen involved in tonight's operation, so the sect didn't pay much attention.

So although there are many masters, they are useless to Xiao Yan. The only Ponzi involved in the operation only sent a limited force.

So tonight's battle, he was defeated from the beginning! Suddenly realizing this, Xiao Yan's hands trembled with fear.

From the defeat in Daizhou to the defeat tonight, she finally felt at this moment that there was a huge black hand, hidden behind the curtains, which had been controlling all this, dragging her into the abyss step by step!

This person, who has insight into everything, has a full understanding of her existence and her power for a long time!

Who is this person?

How could there be such a person!

How could he know so much about her?!

Xiao Yan was puzzled.

She has been lurking in Daqi for so many years, taking advantage of the opportunity of internal fighting in Daqi, it has always been smooth, and now, she finds that she has actually been in someone's sight all along, and everything she does is like playing monkey.

Her self-confidence crumbled.

She felt a deep sense of powerlessness, frustration, and decadence.

It was painful for her.

"Let's go, withdraw from Yanping City immediately!" Xiao Yan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and gave this order from between her teeth. She had to go, and if she was caught, it would only be doomed.

Before leaving, Xiao Yan took one last look at the mural and asked the white-eyed old man to destroy it.

As the three of them descended into the tunnel in the smoke, the collapsed mural turned into a ruin. This is not only the destruction of a picture, but also shows that Xiao Yan's years of hard work in Yanping City have disappeared.

There are many forks in the tunnels, each leading to a different place, and more often it is a dead end to confuse the public.

Soon after they left, there were many cultivators who chased the sect here, and while they stopped briefly in front of the collapsed mural, there were many more cultivators, in a very short time, entering the place through different passages.

Some of them came in from the Flying Snow Tower, and some of them didn't.

Tonight, Xiao Yan herself was not in the Flying Snow Building.

At the beginning of the big operation, Xiao Yan usually left the place where she usually stayed. Therefore, although the Jiangmen cultivators attacked the Flying Snow Tower for the first time, they did not catch Xiao Yan.

"Split up!" The leading Wei cultivator waved his hand, allowing a steady stream of cultivators to enter different tunnels.

After half a burnt incense, in a remote ordinary house, the bed was lifted, and the white-eyed old man flew out first, and after finding out that there was nothing abnormal in the courtyard, he welcomed Xiao Yan out.

"Your Highness, later, my subordinates will go outside to take a look. The old man with black eyebrows was the first to go out.

This mansion has no other advantages, except that it is relatively close to the city walls, so as to facilitate escape.

Yanping City, which can accommodate millions of people, is very large, the circumference of the city wall is dozens of miles, and it is not wartime now, and there are no soldiers guarding the city on the city wall, so it is not difficult for them to jump out of the city.

But the black-eyed old man quickly turned back, and his face became extremely gloomy, and he said to Xiao Yandao, who was equal to Xiao Yan in the main hall;

"Your Highness, the city wall has been blocked, and the elite cultivators are constantly patrolling back and forth, not to mention, there are also several Wang Extreme Realm cultivators, faintly emanating from everywhere!

"If we forcibly jump out of the city wall at this time, we will definitely be detected, once those Wang Ji Realm start to chase and kill, we will not be able to escape far at all!"

She said: "Wang Ji Realm cultivators, it is impossible to monitor the Quartet all the time, we will hide here for a while, and wait until the limelight has passed, and then find a way to get out of the city." ”

Unfortunately, the tunnels do not lead directly outside the city. It's not that Xiao Yan didn't have anyone to dig the tunnel outside the city, but there was no way to do it.

Not to mention that the tunnel is dug too long, the soil and stone are not easy to deal with, and it is easy to attract the investigation of the Governor's Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion to patrol the city, so it is said that the monitoring of the city defense by the garrison of Yanping City is also extremely strict.

If the civil forces can casually dig tunnels through the city wall and communicate freely inside and outside the city, then what is the difference between Yanping City and no defense?

Therefore, Xiao Yan's tunnel can only allow her to temporarily leave the original danger zone, and it cannot allow her to leave the city with this. To leave Yanping City, she still needs other methods.

But she clearly didn't have that time.

More than an hour later, the white-eyed old man who went out to investigate the situation reported that Yanping City had become a pot of boiling water, and countless soldiers of the forbidden army entered the city from various city gates, and cooperated with the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion to start a carpet search of Yanping City!

"Your Highness, it seems that many of our arrested people have been unable to withstand the torture and have been confirmed! The emperor of the Southern Dynasty knew about our existence, so he ordered the forbidden army to enter the city and cooperate with the Governor's Mansion to search us!"

The white-eyed old man was worried, "This area has been blocked by the soldiers of the forbidden army, they will immediately search from house to house, and it won't be long before they find out here, we must leave and find another safe place!"

Xiao Yan's face sank like water.

She has excellent disguise skills, and she can completely "change her appearance", if it is daytime, it is not difficult to get out of the city, and it is useless for the soldiers who defend the city to hold her portrait.

Right now, even in the face of the forbidden army, they can pretend to be no different from ordinary Qi people.

But the problem is that no matter how they disguise, they are three strange faces.

Their biggest problem is that their neighbors don't know them!

No one can prove their identity, their experience.

They are three people who have appeared out of thin air, have no roots, and of course they can't win the trust of the Forbidden Army!

If it were an ordinary time, this might not be too much of a problem, but what is the situation tonight? The emperor has even transferred the forbidden army into the city, and this is for her! I am afraid that even the suspicious beggars, the forbidden army will arrest them first.

"No matter where we go, I'm afraid that we will be recognized by the forbidden army, and we still can't hide from the world!" The black-eyed old man's face was also very ugly.

In the final analysis, this is the capital of Great Qi, they are just working carefully, and now they are equivalent to being enemies of the entire Great Qi, the difference in strength is too great, and the restrictions are too great.

Moreover, there were no officials from the Jingzhao Mansion who came to search, and they would not encounter the officials who were bribed by them at all, and no one could help them.

"Your Highness, can we go to the homes of those officials who we have bribed to hide?" the white-eyed old man suggested.

Xiao Yan, who looked ashen, sat down on the chair and shook her head, "The power of the Hanmen officials is too weak, if the forbidden army doesn't find us, I'm afraid that their homes will also be searched."

"Door officials, the most effective one we have bought now is Ponzi. But now they are unable to protect themselves, and our going to the Ponzi Mansion is tantamount to killing ourselves. ”

Of the other Mendi clansmen, Xiao Yan is not uncontrollable, but none of them can compare with Pang Qi, and the other party does not know their true identities.

If you go to hide tonight and the other party perceives that they are Hu people, it is difficult to say what they will choose.

"Then don't we have nowhere to go?" the white-eyed old man couldn't help but look desperate.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "No, we still have someone to use." She was able to take me into a place of absolute safety.

"Even if the Janissaries didn't find us in the end, they wouldn't have dug three feet into the ground to search the mansion. As long as there is that person to cover, we can definitely hold out until the wind is over!"

Hearing this, the two old men, white eyebrows and black eyebrows, both thought of that person and that place at the same time, and they both were in good spirits.

"Go to the emergency contact point closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion and signal Fluttershy to pick us up!" Xiao Yan decided.

This is her best choice, the last hope, and she has no time to hesitate now.
