Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The Truth

But when viewed from another angle, even with her maternal grandfather and uncles’ support, it would be difficult for Lao San to ascend to the Dragon Throne. How many Emperors have tossed and turned, sleepless at night, worried about the influence of their in-laws?

Moreover, from Liu Shang’s perspective, rather than supporting a puppet, it makes more sense to take the throne himself and spare his descendants future troubles.

If that were indeed the case, I’m afraid another decade of calamity would be on the horizon.

The current turmoil seemingly has no end in sight, and with an extra ten years, the prospect of peace is even more distant.

Therefore, whether from the aspect of talent or safety, the throne is not suited for Prince Dong Yuwen Qing.

For this reason, Bai Junjun paid special attention to the movements of the Eastern Army.

"What are their plans?"

"The Eastern Army will send a hundred thousand troops to aid Biluo, and the Armory will also have weapons escorted for resupply along the way. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, and you must seize it!"

The Lame Man Uncle continued, pulling out a freshly distributed map: "This is our armament transport route, there are villages here and here. When the time comes, hide in a village and borrow some clothes to disguise yourselves as ordinary villagers.

Once it’s safe, continue south along this road; there you will come across a boundary marker. From there, the official road leads to the Old Capital City, and downward to the Ownerless Land.

In my opinion, the Old Capital City is the only place with some amount of security. It is said that the Second Prince, Prince Hanying, who is quite capable, has brought back a portion of the former prosperity to the now chaotic Old Capital City.

For now, heading for the Old Capital City would be more appropriate."

This was the plan Lame Man Uncle had considered along the way.

"Back to the Old Capital City?" Bai Junjun’s eyebrows flickered.

"What’s the matter?" Lame Man Uncle looked puzzled. "Wasn’t that your former home? It’s always better to be in a familiar place than a strange territory."

"That may be true, but three years ago, the Bai Yang Clan relocated to escape calamities. Returning there now might find things vastly changed. Moreover, the Old Capital City may eventually see battle, and if we were to settle there, wouldn’t we have to flee again when war breaks out?"

"Hmph, who knows when the final battle will come? Let’s find a place to settle down first. Of course, we could also head to the Ownerless Land, where aside from a higher number of Witch Tribes and Wild People, there aren’t many other drawbacks."

Lame Man Uncle had once wandered through Baiju Country for many years and was very familiar with the local customs and conditions.

Unexpectedly, his plan also included The Barbaric Wastelands; when the Seven-Person Team dispersed at the North-South Bridge, they had also reminded Old Uncle Qiu’s family that they could head to the Ownerless Land.

It seems that Lame Man Uncle and Li Wenli share the same thoughts.

She glanced at Li Wenli, who simply smiled faintly and curled his lips: "I think Lame Man Uncle’s suggestion is good. Besides, don’t we still have to retrieve the inheritance manuals from those two places? It would be better to go up to the Old Imperial Capital first, then down to the Ownerless Land."

The Old Imperial Capital is still considered safe for now, but when war arrives, who knows if those manuals might be destroyed in the conflict.

After some thought, Bai Junjun realized this made sense.

Originally, she wanted to find a picturesque place to live reclusively as a wealthy landlord, but now she had to deal with Lame Man Uncle’s matter first.

As for Yuwen Jun using her name to conquer the south, Bai Junjun sneered.

Though she was not the real Bai Junjun, since she occupied the original owner’s body, she was determined to defend her interests to the end.

She said, it was not easy for the original owner to have gone to the Northern Lands to meet her lover; how could the Ninth Prince suddenly ask her to go to Biluo, and under the pretext that the Fifth Imperial Uncle was about to attack, have her move south to avoid disaster?

Although the original owner was known as the World’s Number One Talent Girl, she was a love-struck fool to have actually believed it.
