Chapter 448 Dragon Plan
Seven days passed quickly, and the situation faced by the Southern Government became increasingly severe. In this short period of time, the army of the Northern Frontier had assembled, and 600,000 strong troops were rushing towards Taizhou like a tide, and launched an ultimate battle to determine life and death with the remaining forces of the Southern Government.
The smoke of war covered the entire sky, and the gunfire and shouts intertwined into a thrilling picture. Under the personal command and dispatch of Huang Guangtai, the army of the Southern Government showed a tenacious fighting power. They knew that this war was related to the fate of the Southern Government and their ultimate survival, so everyone showed a tenacious attitude of fighting to the death.
However, the army of the Northern Frontier was strong and invincible. With their sophisticated equipment and strong combat capabilities, they repeatedly broke through the defenses of the Southern Army and pushed the war into deeper areas. In the fierce battle, although the Southern Army fought bravely, it was still unable to withstand the fierce attack of the Northern Frontier.
The six Taizhou cities north of Jian'an City were originally important strongholds of the Southern Government, but they were lost one after another under the fierce attack of the Northern Frontier Army.
Every time a city fell, Huang Guangtai felt as if a heavy hammer had hit his heart, and he was extremely sad. He knew that the loss of these cities not only meant the loss of the country, but also meant the end of the Southern Government was approaching.
Faced with such a severe situation, Huang Guangtai felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain. He knew that at this moment, he had no other choice but to pin his hopes on Night Owl.
Therefore, he began to urge Dai Yuhong to let Ye Xiao take action as soon as possible. He knew that once Jian'an City was breached, the Southern Government would completely lose the chance to turn the tables, and everything would be irreversible.
Therefore, at this critical moment when the Southern Government is in turmoil, Night Owl's actions have become the key to the Southern Government's reversal of the situation. Night Owl will also play a vital role in the following actions. Whether she can successfully complete the mission will be directly related to the future fate of the Southern Government.
That afternoon, the sun shone obliquely on the roof of the Su Mansion, casting mottled light and shadows. Night Owl also completed the last communication with the external contact personnel on this day.
After countless deliberations and revisions, their carefully planned "Dragon Son Plan" finally reached its final perfection. There was only one goal: to quietly send Xiao Hongan out of the Su Mansion, away from Beilong City, and safely deliver him to the hands of the Military Command of the Southern Government.
Xiao Hongan, a baby less than half a year old, closed his eyes contentedly after feeding under the careful care of Mrs. Yang, as usual. Liu Xiujuan took Xiao Hongan with a gentle smile as usual, gently held him in her arms, and walked steadily towards the back garden.
In the back garden, there are green trees and fragrant flowers. Liu Xiujuan holds little Hongan and walks slowly along the gravel path.
She hummed a soft nursery rhyme and patted little Hong'an's back gently with her hands. Little Hong'an slept soundly in her arms, completely unaware of the impending danger.
As time went by, the patrol soldiers' shift change came quietly.
Liu Xiujuan's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, but she remained calm and composed. She looked up and around, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, a gleam of determination flashed in her eyes. She held Xiao Hongan in her arms and quickly came to a corner of the back garden. There was a wall there, which was tightly covered by dense branches.
At this time, in the alley behind the wall, four plainclothes agents were anxiously waiting for her signal.
They were elites sent by the Military Control Department of the Southern Government. They had already dealt with the Dragon God Special Forces soldiers on guard and were only waiting for Liu Xiujuan's order to take action immediately.
"Director, it's already the agreed time, but why hasn't there been any signal from Night Owl? Could there be some accident or failure in her operation?" The subordinate cautiously peeked at Liu Zhijie's face, his tone filled with uneasiness and anxiety.
Liu Zhijie, Dai Yuhong's confidant, was standing in a hidden corner at the moment. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He stared at his men, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he scolded them in a low voice with a ferocious look: "Shut up! Don't you know how important this operation is? Success or failure is directly related to the survival of the entire Southern Government! We have come to this point. If we don't succeed, we will die. There is no way back!"
This place is only separated from the back garden of the Su Mansion by a wall. It is one of the most heavily guarded areas in Beilong City. The air around seems to be filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. Liu Zhijie knows that people from the Dragon God Special Forces may patrol here at any time. Once their actions are discovered, the consequences will be disastrous. Dare to have the idea of attacking Su Zhengyang's only heir, that is a huge taboo. Being cut into pieces by thousands of knives and torn into pieces by five horses is considered a light punishment.
As time went by, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive. It was late autumn, and the weather was not hot, but everyone's forehead was dripping with sweat, soaking their clothes.
Finally, after three minutes of waiting that seemed to be stretched to infinity, there were three long and two short knocks from the inside of the courtyard wall. Each knock was clear and powerful, knocking on the wall and also knocking on Liu Zhijie's heart. His eyes lit up. This was the signal they had agreed with Night Owl. The smooth transmission of the signal proved that Night Owl had successfully brought Su Hongan to the designated location.
Liu Zhijie took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. He was agile and jumped onto the wall like a cheetah, his movements light and agile. He carefully lowered a hanging basket along the three-meter-high wall. The hanging basket was carefully made, tied with hemp ropes and padded with thick cotton cloth to reduce friction and noise.
Liu Zhijie knew that their operation had reached the most critical moment. In the Su Mansion, there were not only soldiers patrolling non-stop, but also wooden sentries built at other locations on the courtyard wall, with soldiers standing guard meticulously on them. As long as they made a little noise, they might be discovered. Therefore, he had to remain absolutely calm and cautious.
He watched the basket fall with full concentration, and at the same time pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him. His forehead was already covered with beads of sweat, but he did not dare to relax at all. He knew that only by successfully bringing Su Hongan out, their mission would be completed.
As the hanging basket gradually approached the ground, Liu Zhijie's heart was in his throat. He prayed that everything would go well, and at the same time, he was prepared for any unexpected situation. At this moment, time seemed to slow down abnormally, and every second was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Liu Xiujuan's movements were extremely gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing Xiao Hongan's dream, and she carefully put Xiao Hongan into the hanging basket. At this time, Xiao Hongan was still immersed in a sweet dream, breathing evenly and steadily, and had no reaction to anything in the outside world.
Liu Zhijie stood on the wall, nervously watching the hanging basket slowly rise. He felt his heartbeat speeding up, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He knew that the completion of this mission was crucial to the Southern Government, and for him personally, it was an opportunity to make a breakthrough.
When the hanging basket was finally pulled up to the top of the wall, Liu Zhijie carefully held it in his arms, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked down at the little Hongan in his arms, and the young face looked particularly quiet and lovely in the sunset. At this moment, Liu Zhijie felt a strong sense of joy in his heart.
He knew that after completing this task, his position in the Military Control Commission would be greatly improved. There was no doubt that he would become the second most important person after Dai Yuhong, with greater power and influence.
