Depending on the situation, the task of infiltrating and assassinating was proving to be quite difficult for Wang Chao and the others, who had to seek alternative methods. At that moment, Xiao Wei, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, spoke up, "I have a suggestion, but it won't be easy to accomplish."
The group exchanged glances at the young boy, but Wang Chao understood that despite Xiao Wei's age, his intelligence surpassed that of many adults. Nodding thoughtfully, he asked, "What do you propose? Let's hear it."
Xiao Wei nodded and continued, "When it comes to infiltration and assassination, there are two key points. Typically, we think of infiltrating from the outside and eliminating the target—this is the basic approach of most assassins. However, when faced with a particularly challenging target, various methods arise. The most famous one is probably using a beauty..."
"Are you suggesting we send Shen Zhiying or Shen Zhitao?" Wang Chao exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.
At this point, Liu Jie interjected, "That's too dangerous. Commander Yu may be a man of indulgence, but he is incredibly powerful. Moreover, women who fall into his hands often suffer greatly. Many attractive women in the Safe Zone have already been mistreated by him. If they were to go..." Liu Jie glanced at the Shen sisters and Yang Mengying and Wu Wan'er in the distance who were distributing drinking water and shook his head.
Wang Chao decisively rejected the idea.
Xiao Wei rolled his eyes and said, "Listen here, I haven't finished yet! Can you let me speak before you comment? Besides using beauty as bait, men can also get close..."
Wang Chao's eyes widened again as he asked, "Are you suggesting using handsome men? While I might be somewhat good-looking myself, I need to think twice about using my looks to infiltrate the Safe Zone..." Liu Jie chimed in with a serious expression, "Sir, that might not work. It seems Commander Yu isn't fond of men either. Do you have some secret weapon we haven't heard about?"
"Can you both just stop talking for a moment?" Xiao Wei shouted. After calming down a bit, he continued, "Aside from beautiful women, I believe what would attract Commander Yu the most is Crystal. Wang Chao brother, don't you still have over a hundred Brass Crystals left? If you pretend to offer these Crystals and take advantage of his distraction to assassinate him..."
Wang Chao nodded in agreement. "You're right; I do have a lot of Brass Crystals left. This could be an opportunity!"
However, Liu Jie slightly shook his head and said, "Even hundreds of Brass Crystals won't get you close to Commander Yu. After all, he probably receives hundreds every day. While this gift is substantial enough, it's only enough energy for a day; it wouldn't warrant an audience with him..."
"Wait!" Wang Chao suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I have one Crystal that he absolutely won't refuse." He pretended to reach into his back pocket but actually pulled out a silver Crystal from his Spatial Ring. Instantly, a shimmering silver Crystal appeared before everyone’s eyes; its dazzling light reflected off the walls and seemed even more brilliant.
"If we have this, Commander Yu would even give his wife to you!" Liu Jie exclaimed in surprise.
Wang Chao never expected that a random decision he made back then would finally come in handy at this moment. Thankfully, he hadn't absorbed the Silver Crystal. With this thought, Wang Chao stood up and said, "In that case, let's head back this afternoon and eliminate Commander Yu once and for all!"
The other soldiers also showed excitement on their faces, but at that moment, Xiao Wei weakly interjected, "I'm not trying to dampen your spirits, but we need to think this through carefully."
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Wei, who cleared her throat and continued, "We need to proceed with caution. Right now, we only have an excuse to approach Commander Yu. The situation will undoubtedly be very complicated when the time comes. We must formulate a plan first!"
"First of all," she said, "we should let Wang Chao go back with you all. Just say he's from out of town and has heard of Commander Yu's great reputation. He wants to follow him and has a fine Silver Crystal to present to the Commander. But we must make demands—beautiful women, food—anything you want. Just don't say you want nothing; that's foolish and will raise suspicions." Xiao Wei spoke while thinking.
"Secondly," she continued, "to ensure Wang Chao's safety, we can't rely on just one plan. I mean, even Wang Chao wouldn't be able to escape unscathed in front of fifty soldiers!" As she spoke, Xiao Wei winked at Wang Chao. He opened his mouth to say something but swallowed his words.
"So!" Xiao Wei's voice grew louder. "We need to incite rebellion!"
"Incite rebellion?" everyone asked.
"Exactly," Xiao Wei replied. "I believe that aside from those loyal fifty men, no one really has any fondness for Commander Yu. They are just under pressure and have no choice. If we can turn most of them against Commander Yu, it will definitely make our task much easier."
"But we don't have weapons," a soldier said anxiously. "Even those fifty men could easily kill us."
Xiao Wei interrupted him, saying, "That's why the key action in our mission is twofold: one part involves Wang Chao facing off against the commander, and the other part is us eliminating those fifty soldiers. For the second part, I think we can send Sister Shen and her team to acquire weapons and distribute them to the civilians."
Having said that, Xiao Wei pondered for a moment before continuing, "Uncle Liu, besides you four, is there anyone else here who wants to resist Commander Yu's rule? And don't boast; I'm looking for those who wouldn't betray us even with a knife to their throats. Otherwise, if word gets out, Wang Chao will be in serious danger."
Liu Jie pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, we can find twenty people. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can assure you they won't betray us."
"Good!" Xiao Wei raised a fist, speaking like a leader. "Today, we will set up camp here. Tomorrow, when you go out to carry out your mission, bring those twenty people back. I have something to say to them!"
