Chapter 1085 Xiao Ya is being targeted
I can't afford to die.
The death of a stranger is just that—the death. At most, you might feel a little regret. But the problem is, if it's your own family or friends who die, it's not just a matter of regret; it's a matter of suffering. And there's another issue involved: you yourself will also die.
Terauchi Hisaichi suddenly realized just how dangerous his earlier idea of having Kawashima Yoshiko deal with Zhou Weiguo and eliminate him had been.
"What should we do? She's already got those thoughts." Terauchi Hisaichi narrowed his eyes. "Perhaps we should get rid of her."
Since we can't deal with Zhou Weiguo, the best solution is to eliminate those who are targeting him. This way, we can avoid some unavoidable problems.
“General, Yoshiko Kawashima’s network of connections is quite chaotic, including not only some low-ranking officers but also some high-ranking officials. Eliminating her would have a significant impact on us.”
She cannot be touched for the time being.
"Then tell me, what should we do?" Terauchi Hisaichi felt like he had jumped into a deep pit, a pit from which he could not climb out. What was even more terrifying was that he had dug this pit himself.
Tani Hisao took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a puff, and after a moment of silence, said, "The Independent Brigade has already gone to the 11th Army, General. Why not let Kawashima Yoshiko go south?"
Going with the flow, once Yoshiko Kawashima goes south, she will have nothing to do with this place. If anything happens, the 11th Army will take responsibility.
"That's it."
Yoshiko Kawashima was not only tempted, but after returning home she locked herself in her room to devise a suitable plan to hunt down Zhou Weiguo.
Moreover, she didn't intend to wipe out all of Zhou Weiguo's subordinates; she simply wanted to get rid of Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo's subordinates are all very capable people. They are not working for her, but that doesn't matter. She just wants these people to avenge Zhou Weiguo and make the empire hate this side even more.
As long as the empire despises the mountain city, its strength will be further diminished, which will help restore the dynasty.
"Miss, what's going on?" The maid Yu Cui saw Kawashima Yoshiko leaning against the window smoking and came to her side. "Miss, it's the General who asked you to take on these responsibilities."
This kind of thing is commonplace; there are always things that the young lady ends up taking the blame for.
She strongly disliked this kind of thing. It was one thing on ordinary days, but this time, was it a responsibility that could be easily shouldered? If she did, would she even survive?
Yu Cui was an orphan adopted by Yoshiko Kawashima. She was both her maid and her assassin, and she only obeyed her orders.
Over the years, he has eliminated many enemies for himself.
Whether it was the enemy in the mountain city or the enemy on the Japanese side, it was Yu Cui who took action when she couldn't. Although Yu Cui was her mistress and servant, they were more like sisters.
She was already ruined, so she never allowed Yu Cui to sell her body for her to gather intelligence. This was one of the few things that showed her conscience.
"No, that's not it." Yoshiko Kawashima turned her head and threw the cigarette into the ashtray.
Yu Cui opened the window to let the air circulate in the room. She wiped the ashtray clean and placed it in front of Kawashima Yoshiko. "Why does Miss look so troubled? Has someone bullied you? If so, please give the order, and I will get rid of him."
Yoshiko Kawashima raised her hand slightly. She had intended to light another cigarette, but remembering that she had just thrown one away, she put the match down and said, "No, it's because what the General said today has made me consider a plan that will cause even more chaos in Yamashiro and Kyoto."
Yu Cui listened quietly, waiting for Kawashima Yoshiko to finish speaking. She looked up and thought for a moment before saying, "If Miss wants to deepen the conflict between the two sides, then in my opinion, it would be better to eliminate the people around Zhou Weiguo than to eliminate Zhou Weiguo."
How should we understand the phrase "get rid of the people around him"?
Yoshiko Kawashima leaned back on the sofa and asked, "What do you mean?"
"From the intelligence I have, the explosions in Kyoto are all related to Zhou Weiguo. It's even possible that he personally directed them. Few of his people went there. Such a person is more useful alive than dead. As for making him hate and seek revenge, in my opinion, nothing is better than getting rid of his wife, Xiao Ya."
Xiao Ya?
Yoshiko Kawashima took out a cigarette and lit it.
After a while, she nodded and said, "You're right. Then you should investigate this matter immediately."
Xiao Ya's identity is not difficult to investigate, but to learn more details, it is necessary to collect intelligence from various sources.
However, it was this gathering of intelligence from various places that eventually came to the attention of Prince Asaka.
"What is this woman trying to do? Why is she investigating Xiao Ya?"
Xiao Ya was a name he was very familiar with, because his daughter, who had betrayed him and dragged him into the mess, had mentioned that this woman, whom he considered their elder sister, was one of the people Zhou Weiguo valued most. Not only was she skilled in combat, but several of her bodyguards were also quite capable, and some of them had even been personally trained by Zhou Weiguo before being sent to her side.
This person is very important to Zhou Weiguo.
The butler brewed him another cup of tea and tentatively asked, "Master, could it be that the North China Army and the Mei Agency tricked you this time, and now they want to take revenge and save face by targeting the people around you?"
“That doesn’t make sense. In the military, Zhou Weiguo is the biggest threat to us. No matter what, getting rid of Zhou Weiguo would be enough. There’s no need to take action against Xiao Ya. But look at this now, it’s completely wrong. Could Xiao Ya really be more of a threat than Zhou Weiguo?”
Xiao Ya was in Li Kai, and she mostly existed as a general leading troops, and such officers were not lacking in the mountain city.
Who is Kiyoshi Kazuki? He is a battle-hardened general. Doesn't he know that Zhou Weiguo's threat is greater than Xiao Ya's?
Xiao Ya is a woman, and women are naturally gentle and soft-hearted. She will not go to extremes in seeking revenge or have many ulterior motives.
The butler found the question somewhat unanswerable. After a while, he said, "Master, perhaps I should go and ask Master Nanzo for his opinion."
Who knows, we might get information from there.
Prince Asaka couldn't figure out the intention behind this for a moment. He put down his cigarette butt and nodded. "Hmm, you're right. In that case, go and ask him what his opinion is on this matter."
