Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 994: Decent Character
Chapter 994: Chapter 994: Decent Character
"You’re really impressive. How have you managed to live here so openly without having your identity uncovered?"
Don’t the guards search the homes of wealthy families? That can’t be right, can it?
Thinking about the way the poor districts are constantly subjected to raids, the difference compared to here is like heaven and earth.
Yuwen Qi chuckled awkwardly: "I rarely go out, and besides, there’s a secret passage here. When there’s nothing to do, I just stay in the passage. The merchant is just a cover."
So that’s how it is.
Bai Junjun suddenly understood.
"Why are you all here? Weren’t you heading to the Imperial Capital?"
After learning that the Imperial Capital had fallen into Yuwen Song’s hands, he had specifically asked his sister about their whereabouts.
However, his sister had sent word back saying Bai Junjun and the others had already left the Imperial Capital and had long since moved to Ying County.
Who would’ve thought, in the blink of an eye, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli would show up in Biluo, and they even lent him a huge helping hand.
Yuwen Qi could only marvel at the mysterious workings of fate!
"We came to find someone," Bai Junjun said straightforwardly, without concealment.
"Who are you looking for? I have some connections around here. If there’s anything I can do to help, just let me know."
Bai Junjun gave him a meaningful look: "You can’t even protect yourself, yet you want to help us?"
"..." Yuwen Qi was momentarily speechless, and after a while, he replied awkwardly, "Actually, actually, you’ve misunderstood."
They weren’t as weak as they seemed. If it hadn’t been for that weird gust of wind earlier, they could’ve used smoke bombs to escape. Although it would’ve been a messy retreat, it wouldn’t have been an absolute rout.
It was just that before they had a chance to showcase their Kung Fu, Bai Junjun had already swooped in to save them.
Yuwen Qi felt a bit aggrieved.
Bai Junjun was speechless. So it was they who had meddled unnecessarily?
"No, no, no, Junjun and Brother Wenli absolutely came in handy. At the very least, you spared us all from enduring physical suffering."
"So what’s happening exactly? Why are you hiding in Biluo? Are you planning to assassinate the Fifth Prince as revenge?"
Bai Junjun felt something was off.
Back then, when Yuwen Qi followed his former subordinates, Bai Junjun hadn’t stopped him. freewebnσvel.cøm
She thought Yuwen Qi had the protection of his old comrades and the assistance of Shopkeeper Yan, so the road ahead shouldn’t be too bumpy.
During this period, there hadn’t been much news about Yuwen Qi, and she assumed that no news was good news.
But now, in Biluo, hearing about these mysterious assassinations, coupled with tonight’s encounter, Bai Junjun suddenly sensed something wasn’t right.
If Yuwen Qi was relying on assassinations for revenge, it felt too simplistic.
Even if he killed every member of the Yuwen Family, what then? The world would still be in chaos, and the Dragon Throne still wouldn’t be his.
Building a proper army and using a legitimate banner to overthrow the Yuwen Family’s regime was the real solution!
Yuwen Qi seemed to sense Bai Junjun’s concerns and reassured her, "We have forces hidden in the depths of the Eastern Land—we’re not just sitting idly."
"Then what’s this about?"
"To be honest," Yuwen Qi said, "when Yuwen Jun went to the Imperial Capital for the gathering, I took advantage of his absence and snuck into the rear guard, rescuing Lame Man Uncle and his team. Right now, Lame Man Uncle and the others are busy training the army."
"However, since I took those forces from the rear guard, to avoid Yuwen Jun’s sweeping search uncovering the hidden troops, I’ve had to bring some people with me, posing as remnants of the Third Prince’s faction, and occasionally stir up trouble for Yuwen Jun to divert his attention."
When facing enemies, Yuwen Qi was a cunning little leopard. But when he was with Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, he reverted to being naive and endearing. All his plans and secrets, he could relay to these two without reservation.
