Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 959: Junjun’s Homing Pigeon Message

Yuwen Luanfei was shocked upon hearing this: "Where did you get this information?"

"The Noble Clans have their own sources of information, don’t worry about that for now. Listen to me, we cannot continue fighting. Even if we do, it can only be a feint attack. You must secretly command your troops to retreat. Find any excuse you can and quickly withdraw the two hundred thousand soldiers to the rear."

"But..." Yuwen Luanfei was caught in a dilemma.

How was he to retreat?

The army of the ninth brother was responsible for the rear defense. If he retreated, the ninth brother would soon know he had backed down.

Wenren Pingting clenched her teeth: "You will receive a secret message, Prime Minister Lin has rebelled, and Capital City is entering a state of war readiness which you must return to oversee."

Yuwen Luanfei raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"Now, we have no choice but to sacrifice the reputation of Princess Consort Mengyu. Once you get out of this predicament, you can establish her as the empress."

Yuwen Luanfei understood Wenren Pingting’s implication. Now, the only valid reason for him to withdraw his troops could only be a crisis in the Imperial Capital, and for such a situation, aside from court officials rebelling, there would be no other explanation.

However, the choice of the rebelling court official must be careful, as if it were the Wenren Family or any of the powerful Shi Noble Families, it would provoke a counterattack from the watchful Yuwen Song. The only one that could prevent him from seeing the situation clearly was the missing Prime Minister Lin.

Prime Minister Lin’s disappearance was also known to Yuwen Song, and his identity had not yet come to light. If this person were to suddenly reappear, before Yuwen Song could confirm his identity, he would not advance his attack.

And this would give him time to retreat to defend.

"But the princess consort..."

Once the rumors spread, the princess consort would definitely try to clarify, wouldn’t that expose a flaw?

Wenren Pingting shook her head with determination: "I have already planned everything before coming here. Rest assured, as soon as the news breaks the princess consort will be placed under house arrest. The imperial concubine had no other choice but to resort to this plan, we can only subject Princess Consort Mengyu to this temporary indignity."

Yuwen Luanfei sighed: "You did well, everything you’ve done is for me."

While saying that, he gently lifted Wenren Pingting up: "It’s been hard on you taking this journey. Oh right, about what you said concerning Yuwen Jun controlling Three-Branch Junction, is the news reliable?"

Wenren Pingting silently took out the Homing Pigeon Message from her pocket: "This is Junjun’s handwriting, I can’t be mistaken. I think, there’s no one with more reliable information than her in this world."

Yuwen Luanfei was taken aback as he looked at the note: "She sent this back to the Imperial Palace?"

Wenren Pingting shook her head: "I dare not deceive Your Highness. The Wenren Family has spies placed close to Yuwen Song, and this is the news returned by the spy. The source of the information comes from a bandit hideout in the Ownerless Land."

"???" Yuwen Luanfei’s eyes widened in surprise.

It is common knowledge that Yuwen Song has merit in suppressing bandits, but now the information revealed by Wenren Pingting is... bandits are connected with Yuwen Song?

Wenren Pingting tiredly curved her lips: "Your Highness, not everything in this world is black and white, there are many unseen alliances in the shadows, just as there are between Yuwen Song and the bandits, so too between Yuwen Jun and Witch Ancestor Mountain."

In this world, perhaps only Yuwen Luanfei naively believed that The Celestial Family’s army was forever clean and transparent?

Yuwen Luanfei felt deeply stricken; the weariness that had been suppressed for so long finally erupted, and he sat down wearily inside the large tent, sighing.

"Alas, I really don’t want to deal with these vexing matters anymore."

What use was there in his lone struggle for justice on behalf of the Yuwen Family? Others simply didn’t align with his cause.

Wenren Pingting could particularly understand his feelings, but sometimes one’s birth determines the path they must walk in life, even if unwillingly, even if detesting it, one can only walk it bloodstained to the end.
