After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chapter 138 How can I not hurt others?

Zhou Hanjin was of noble status and was also their master. After he said this, the four advisors, young and old, looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything about whether it was a trouble or not.

“The Han family has been guarding the Great Zhou for generations. It is almost impossible to bribe him and open the city gate on their own initiative.” Master Fan was the first to speak and crossed out the path for Han Yaojun.

"Although the guards are not His Highness's men, aren't there people arranged by His Highness in the barracks? Let them take action." Master Xu thought for a while, "Opening the gate is the second step. The first priority is for the Japanese army to successfully cross the river without being discovered."

"After much thought, there is only one way that can achieve this without bloodshed and without having to worry about being discovered by others." Master Fan touched the teacup in his hand.

After these words were spoken, the other three masters were confused at first, but then they quickly guessed what Master Fan meant and couldn't help showing surprise.

Master Xu frowned slightly, "It's best not to use that method unless it's absolutely necessary. After all, the troops and civilians in and outside the city are all citizens of the Great Zhou. Once this method is implemented, I'm afraid there will be countless casualties..."

The other two masters all had a pensive look on their faces, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated due to Zhou Hanjin's majesty.

"Isn't now the time to resort to extreme measures? This method is indeed a bit cruel, and the people of Xi'an will have to suffer." Master Fan changed the subject, and his compassionate tone immediately turned into a sharp blade.

"However, how many emperors in history have clean hands? As long as the temporary casualties can help Your Highness achieve his great cause, then it is worth it."

Zhou Hanjin frowned. They had discussed the method Master Fan mentioned before, but this method was too... cruel. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to hurt innocent people.

"A general's success is built on the bones of thousands of soldiers. Although I don't have the heart to do so, I have no choice but to do so due to the situation." Zhou Hanjin closed his eyes and spoke earnestly.

The melancholy tone and expression on his face would make one think he was heartbroken if one didn't know better.

Even though innocent people may be harmed, since ancient times, how can the transfer of power not hurt others?

Fortunately, Chu Xi didn't hear what Zhou Hanjin said, otherwise she would only say coldly that Zhou Hanjin knew what the consequences of what he did would be, but he still insisted on doing so.

This is not stupidity, but selfishness. The vision is so narrow that one can only see one's own interests and never take the interests of the people into consideration.

Zhou Hanjin was born into a royal family, and what he was best at was understanding people's hearts and guessing what others were thinking.

He only needed to take a glance to guess that this matter had caused a difference of opinion among them. "Gentlemen, please do not have different opinions because of this matter. After this matter is over, if I succeed, I will not treat you unfairly."

He would never allow internal chaos to occur before his great cause was accomplished.

Since the four advisors have already chosen the Eighth Prince's camp, they can only do their best.

When Master Xu lowered his head, he glanced down at Master Fan who was persuading him over there, his eyes darkened and he felt an inexplicable emotion.

"Chu Qibai is my third brother's man. I'm worried that he might have noticed something when he went there this time. If he keeps watching, it will become my handle."

The method has been decided. The only thing that worries Zhou Hanjin is Chu Qibai, who has disrupted his plans several times.

The Yunzhou epidemic, the fake bandit village hidden in the mountains of Yunzhou, and so on, all ended in failure because of Chu Qibai.

It's strange to say, except for his confidants, no one else should know about his plan, so Chu Qibai should not be aware of it.

But Zhou Hanjin just felt vaguely uneasy, perhaps because his previous plans were disrupted by Chu Qibai's appearance, or maybe it was because... he was born with a horoscope that was incompatible with Chu Qibai.

Wherever Chu Qibai is, he seems destined to have bad luck.

"This Chu Qibai is my biggest worry so far. He is of noble birth, a capable assistant to my third brother, and now he is engaged to the granddaughter of the Duke of Wei..."

Zhou Hanjin narrowed his eyes, a quick flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, "Xi'an is also the place where the son of the Duke of Wei was stationed, and it still retains its power. Now that their two families are getting married, the Jiang family will definitely inform Chu Qibai of the confidant in Xi'an, which will greatly inconvenience our actions."

He wants the world, but he also wants to remain calm.

If this matter were to be exposed in the future, even if he ascended the throne, he would not be able to avoid being recorded in history books and being cursed by future generations.

Master Fan smiled lightly and said indifferently, "Your Highness, no matter how noble the prince of the Marquis's Mansion is, he is only a centurion in Xi'an City now. Isn't it easy to get rid of him?"

After hearing this, Zhou Hanjin still couldn't let go of the uneasiness in his heart. The method had been decided, so he waved his hand to signal them to go down first.

As for him, he thought about it and worried that it was not thorough enough, so he picked up a pen and wrote a letter. He tied the letter to the feet of a carrier pigeon and watched the direction the pigeon left, which was exactly the direction to the Xi'an military camp.

What he wanted was to be foolproof. Although he didn't want to make this secret move, he had to ensure that it was thorough. He had to let the most unexpected person attract Chu Qibai's attention.

Undercurrents were surging in the capital, and Tang Yuhuai, who was ordered to go to Chaozhou to suppress bandits, was not resting either.

Originally, this task was not big or small for him. As long as His Majesty gave the order, suppressing the bandits would benefit the people and the country.

But when Tang Yuhuai and his men arrived in Chaozhou and carefully investigated the bandits' whereabouts, he suddenly discovered something strange. These bandits seemed to be doing all kinds of evil in their daily lives, but they were secretly...

Not only were they digging tunnels, they also had caves for casting weapons and armor, and they even had drills on weekdays. Judging from their movements, they were no different from the soldiers who had joined the army!

Tang Yuhuai wrote a secret memorial that night and had it sent to the capital by his most trusted subordinate to prevent the person behind the scenes from keeping an eye on their every move.

Tang Yuhuai wrote four memorials respectively, starting from different routes, disguising himself, and also requiring guards with agile skills and quick thinking.

Even though he didn't like to use his brain, after this incident he guessed that the person behind the scenes must be no simple person. Casting weapons and armor requires a lot of money. With the bandits' robbery methods, even if they rob for ten years, they still don't have the money to easily cast these.

Since the other party is not simple, he must be one of the powerful, wealthy and influential people in the court. To build such an important thing here, they must have arranged some spies.

Tang Yuhuai handed the things to the four people and looked at them calmly.

"This is a serious matter. You must send the memorial to the capital. If it is discovered by someone, remember to destroy the memorial in your hands first so that they don't find out what's on it."

He knew the danger of this matter, and the four people kneeling in front of him to accept the task knew it even better, but they were ready to die and their voices were sonorous and powerful.

The four of them said in unison, "Yes, General Tang, we will definitely fulfill our mission."
