Chapter 771: Chapter 771 Someone in the Northern Lands Still Wants to Kill Me

"Before you promise me a future, shouldn’t you first explain why such things happened before?"

In fact, you had already made a choice between the land and the beauty, and now suddenly coming to me, don’t you find that absurd?

I am neither a fool nor a helpless flower; I cannot depend on you, nor can I forgive and wait for you after you chose the land,"

"Honestly, what do you take me for?"

Listening to Bai Junjun’s words, Yuwen Jun was visibly shaken, "I did not choose the land, I just..."

Bai Junjun looked at him with neither sadness nor joy, "Do you dare say you didn’t have today’s plan in mind when you initially told me to flee south?"

What Bai Junjun referred to was her journey to Biluo to face death.

"No!" Yuwen Jun said excitedly, "I never thought of your death; when I sent you south, I dispatched an escort with you, but I never expected my escort to be killed on the way."

"Oh? Who killed them? Could it be refugees? The refugees were able to defeat your elite troops? That’s enlightening."

Listening to Bai Junjun’s sarcasm, Yuwen Jun opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, only repeating sadly, "I really never intended to hurt you."

"Fine, even if you secretly sent troops to protect me, what about afterward? Who spread the news that I was killed in Biluo? As far as I know, you were continuously positioning people in Biluo. Are you saying it wasn’t because of this plan?

Perhaps you wouldn’t actually kill me, and you had already prepared a substitute there, waiting for my arrival to execute the plan of killing the substitute and then hiding me away, giving me a new identity to start over?"

"Yes." Yuwen Jun nodded earnestly.

Bai Junjun couldn’t help but chuckle, "Do you not understand that for a woman of the Shi clans, honor is something she would defend to the death?"

"Junjun, it was you who said you could give up everything for me. Isn’t it good to renounce your status as the legitimate daughter of the Bai Family, to be with me forever, to be my princess consort?"

"So, it’s my fault, after all?"

Bai Junjun was taken aback; she hadn’t expected the original host to have ever said such love-struck words.

Seeing Bai Junjun’s expression, which clearly hadn’t let go, Yuwen Jun sighed and decided to disclose all of his original plans.

"I indeed planned to go south, and yes, I thought of involving you because I had no better name to use.

But I never intended to kill you. I sent you south because it was more dangerous for you in the Northern Lands than in the Southern Lands, so I had to resort to pretending to use you to deceive others.

Only, I didn’t expect that you would be ambushed on the way and even lost contact with me.

During the days when you were missing, I kept looking for you, but to no avail. When I heard about you again, it was that you had been dishonored by Lao San and had thrown yourself into the river in despair.

I was infuriated and stormed down.

By the time I found out you weren’t dead, I had already taken over the Eastern Land, and by then I was in too deep. I couldn’t clarify the situation for it would plunge the Eastern Land into chaos again, but I came to see you at the earliest opportunity."

Yuwen Jun rarely opened his heart like this.

Bai Junjun was not moved by his deep emotions but sharply caught a few key points.

"You said it was more dangerous for me in the Northern Lands than in the Southern Lands, does that mean there are people in the Northern Lands who want me dead?"

Yuwen Jun remained silent, not saying a word.

"In your domain, you’re the most powerful. If those who want me dead aren’t from your domain, it must be the Fifth Prince then?"

Yuwen Jun pressed his lips together, "That’s in the past."

Yuwen Jun’s response was undoubtedly an admission, and Bai Junjun was greatly surprised.

"I have neither feud nor grudge with him, why would he want to kill me?"
