Luo Zheng was well aware of the story of the fisherman and the snake, and naturally wouldn't make such a low-level mistake. The Iga ninjas were detestable, but they loyally guarded the Emperor and protected the country. For this nation, the Iga ninjas were warriors and heroes. Once the Kaga ninjas ca to power, they would also guard the country and fight for its interests. By then, it would be inevitable to have conflicts with Huaxia Country, becoming a new ninja threat.
Driving out the Iga ninjas and bringing in the Kaga ninjas—if it doesn't benefit the country, why bother? If the snake harms the fisherman after recovery, the best solution is to eliminate the snake as well. Even if that's not possible, let the Iga and Kaga fight until both are badly damaged, unable to threaten Huaxia Country for decades. As for the future, that should be left to the successors to handle.
Wars between nations over interests will never cease. Enemies cannot all be killed. There is no once-and-for-all solution in this world, so why think too far ahead? Solving the present matters is the priority. As Luo Zheng's thoughts turned, he solidified the notion that ca to mind earlier, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, saying, "Our people are not familiar with the palace nor the hospital; better leave it to you to handle."
"Alright, but please guide the action plan," Yuanfei Zuo agreed after a mont's hesitation.
"For the palace, I suggest mainly harassnt, not a direct attack, to avoid revealing identities and causing future complications," Luo Zheng proposed from Yuanfei Zuo's perspective, looking as if he was considering Yuanfei Zuo's interests at every turn. Seeing Yuanfei Zuo nod and smile with satisfaction, he continued, "We can start with the hospital, but keep in mind that the other side will undoubtedly anticipate an assassination attempt and make corresponding arrangents."
"Makes sense. I will arrange the specific assassination plan, but the overall strategy will follow yours," Yuanfei Zuo said.
Gaining further trust from Yuanfei Zuo, Luo Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, "I have a better idea, but I wonder if you'd dare to execute it?"
"Let's hear it. As long as it benefits the Kaga ninjas, there's nothing I won't dare to do," Yuanfei Zuo confidently declared.
"The Shijing family is in chaos right now. Shijing Kong and Shijing Ye have both gone to the hospital, and their core forces have also headed there. But their family still remains, and with people in panic, you can kidnap their imdiate family—though the action must be clean and leave no trace," Luo Zheng continued.
Yuanfei Zuo paused and pondered, suddenly raising his eyebrows and nodding with excitent, saying, "Good idea. Once we succeed, we can force Shijing Kong out of the world."
"That condition isn't enough and would expose you. Think about it—what would really make him leave the world? Only sothing tied to politics could completely disrupt the situation. You can demand he commit suicide. Of course, during the kidnapping, deliberately leave sothing from inside the palace at the scene to divert the anger towards the palace, letting the Shijing family and the palace fight it out. This would be more effective, but you need a suitable candidate for the kidnapping," Luo Zheng seriously analyzed.
"You make sense. The choice of candidates isn't a problem. I'll arrange it imdiately," Yuanfei Zuo agreed. After exchanging a hidden look with Xinzi, he decisively took out his phone and issued orders in Japanese.
Soon, Yuanfei Zuo hung up the phone and said to Luo Zheng, "The arrangents are made; we'll move tonight. Let's wait for the news here. Are you hungry? Want sothing to eat?"
"No need, just arrange a room for rest," Luo Zheng casually replied, stretching.
Yuanfei Zuo agreed, arranged a room, and everyone went to rest. Luo Zheng took a bath, but couldn't sleep while lying in bed, gazing at the moonlight streaming through the window and the leaves dancing in the wind, feeling heavily burdened. The country had already approved the plan, but now it seed unnecessary. How should he explain this?
Half asleep, Luo Zheng fell into a deep sleep. When he awoke, it was daylight. After a quick wash, he went to the living room and saw Lan Xue watching TV news. Xinzi was tidying the table and helping organize breakfast. The middle-aged man brought a plate of fried eggs from the kitchen, with milk and bread set on the table. Just then, Yuanfei Zuo ca out, greeted them enthusiastically, and everyone gathered around the table.
"Brother, we've got the person: Shijing Ye's child, less than a year old, and Shijing Kong's only grandchild, the third generation of the Shijing family's hopes. Shijing Kong will surely go mad upon hearing this news. Shijing Ye suffered a severe injury. If his grandson goes, he has no heir, which is a taboo in a ninja family," Yuanfei Zuo excitedly said to Luo Zheng.
"Clever plan," Luo Zheng said with an indifferent smile.
"We left a palace guard ninja's ID tag at the scene, exclusive to the palace, which should be enough to direct Shijing Kong's anger towards the palace," Yuanfei Zuo continued.
Hearing this, Luo Zheng was completely relieved, casually chatted with Yuanfei Zuo, and after filling up on food, changed the topic, saying, "Continue with the hospital assassination to create a kill-all illusion, forcing Shijing Kong to take desperate asures. As long as Shijing Kong targets the palace, we can sit back and watch them fight."
"Good," Yuanfei Zuo gladly agreed.
"Also, I need to go back to handle so matters. Co find in three days at the sa hotel," Luo Zheng casually said, pushing away the empty plate and standing up.
"No problem, I'll have soone take you out," Yuanfei Zuo agreed, calling the middle-aged man over.
Luo Zheng and Lan Xue packed up, and led by the middle-aged man, they drove out of the upscale villa district. After reaching the road outside, Luo Zheng and Lan Xue got off the car and took a taxi away. To ensure nothing went wrong, they changed taxis three tis midway, spending an hour traveling before arriving at the embassy's entrance. It wasn't their first visit to this embassy, so they familiarly found the ambassador's office.
The ambassador was delighted to see Luo Zheng and Lan Xue, warmly welcoming them, gesturing for them to sit down, and after confirming no one was outside, closing the door carefully. He solemnly said, "The dostic authorities have repeatedly instructed to ensure your safety. You've been gone for days, and such chaos has occurred outside—was it your doing?"
"Yes," Luo Zheng replied with a noncommittal smile.
"Nicely done. I understand the discipline, won't pry further. A relief indeed—burning the Ghost Group and causing havoc in the palace. Such satisfaction! It's been a long ti since I felt this joy. You have no idea how frustrating diplomacy can be at tis. Anyway, let treat you both to wine at lunch. If there's anything you need to do, just say the word. Oh, and your team has arrived safely, they're resting without any issues," the ambassador said with an excited smile.
"I do have sothing," Luo Zheng smiled.
"Go ahead. As long as it's within my power, I will do it without hesitation—all for the country's service," the ambassador said seriously, looking at Luo Zheng.
