Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 1019: Distracting the Little Brat

It was only after coming here that I realized, for the past three years, my elder sister had been outwardly managing the Dongsheng Tavern as the shopkeeper, while secretly searching for my father’s former allies.

Heaven does not disappoint those who persevere. Over these years, Shopkeeper Yan really managed to locate many of the old allies. They were all lying low on the outskirts of Yán City, waiting for their Young Master—for their hope—over the course of three years.

Later, Yuwen Qi trained alongside them, striving for excellence together, though the old allies had both strengths and weaknesses.

Their strength was their unwavering loyalty. Each and every one of them was willing to sacrifice everything for him.

Their weakness was that they were few in number and had no way to recruit soldiers or forge weapons. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

High loyalty coupled with low manpower and inferior weaponry was a fatal flaw.

Yuwen Qi could only try to come up with solutions, but in this situation, where resources were scarce, the best option was to seek assistance from those highly skilled.

However, with the world in chaos, the skilled masters had long gone into hiding to avoid trouble, no longer roaming the Itinerant World. After much contemplation, the ones Yuwen Qi ultimately thought of were the trio led by Lame Man Uncle.

In his memory, Lame Man Uncle, though part of the ruddy men of the Eastern Army, possessed exceptional skills far beyond those of ordinary people. If Lame Man Uncle and his companions were still alive and could be recruited into his ranks, they would undoubtedly bring great benefits to his cause.

With this in mind, Yuwen Qi acted immediately. After much searching, he finally found traces of Lame Man Uncle and successfully brought them out.

Later, Lame Man Uncle truly lived up to his expectations. The trio didn’t just enhance and optimize everyone’s strategies for formations and troop deployment, but even provided several design concepts for weapons.

Now, my elder sister had also begun secretly engaging in the trade of iron tools, covertly delivering iron resources to them so they could forge weapons here.

Bai Junjun did not expect Yuwen Qi to truly withhold nothing. He spoke freely and without reservation, revealing all information about the situation here.

Yet, as he spoke, Yuwen Luanfei, who had already declared himself retired from the Itinerant World, demonstrated keen awareness and interrupted before Yuwen Qi could continue. He casually asked to be assigned a room, stating he would take a bath and go to sleep.

Clearly, he had no intention of involving himself in any matters pertaining to the frontline warfare.

Yuwen Qi did not force him and promptly had someone arrange accommodations for him and his wife.

The thirty-plus guards who had returned with them also accepted the orders and went to rest. At this time, only Lame Man Uncle and his two brothers, along with Yuwen Qi, Bai Junjun, and Li Wenli, remained in the living room.

After they finished speaking, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli exchanged a glance and chimed in.

"In truth, we also have two matters we’d like to discuss with you."

Yuwen Qi perked up his ears at this.

Unexpectedly, Li Wenli reached out to ruffle his hair and said, "Little one, don’t meddle in adult conversations. It’s late; off to bed with you."

"..." Yuwen Qi pouted, clearly displeased. He knew full well that he was younger than Li Wenli—a fact he couldn’t possibly change—and it was, indeed, a fatal weakness.

But he was, at the very least, the newly appointed commander of the Heqing Army! The nerve of these fellows to kick the commander out of the meeting—they were being entirely unreasonable!

If even the commander couldn’t listen to the discussion, could it be they were planning a rebellion against him?

Despite his complaints, no matter how much he was disgruntled, Yuwen Qi ultimately had no choice but to leave obediently.

As the group watched the handsome youth depart, smiles sparkled in their eyes.

Once he was completely out of sight, Lame Man Uncle shed his previous relaxed demeanor and turned serious, gazing at them intently.

"Thank you both for stepping in to help."

They were referring to the matter at Fahua Temple.

Though they did not spell it out, the affairs of His Majesty appeared to have been secured, right?

And despite the two speaking lightly of it earlier, over the years, the trio of brothers had suffered greatly, enduring many hardships. How could they not fully understand the challenges involved in this task?
