One evening, Xia received word from one of her informants that a meeting was set to take place in a secluded location outside the capital. The faction was strategizing on how to rally support among disgruntled nobles and sow discord in the court.
"This is our chance," Xia said, determination in her voice. "We need to gather intelligence on their plans and, if possible, disrupt their efforts before they gain traction."
General Liang and Lin Feng agreed, and the trio prepared to infiltrate the meeting. They donned disguises and moved stealthily through the night, their hearts racing with adrenaline as they approached the meeting location.
As they neared the gathering, they could hear the low murmur of voices. Xia signaled for silence, and they crept closer, listening intently.
