Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 995: Top Secret Information

Hearing this, Bai Junjun finally felt relieved. At least Yuwen Qi wasn’t entirely a naive fool.

It’s good that he wasn’t planning to rely solely on assassinations to climb to power.

After all, compared to an assassin organization, having a proper army and subordinates of one’s own offered much greater confidence.

Moreover, he was well aware of the dangers of acting as bait on the frontlines, yet he was still willing to take risks alongside his soldiers. This proved that his character wasn’t bad at all.

Such a brave and resourceful man with decent character—if he were to sit on that throne one day, it wouldn’t be the worst outcome.

After this reflection, Bai Junjun asked another important question, "Are Lame Man Uncle and the others with you?"

"Yes. Lame Man Uncle, One-eyed Uncle, and One-armed Uncle—all accounted for, not one missing."

Yuwen Qi happily counted their heads for them.

Hearing this, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but relax her brows.

Lady Lin had always thought those three unlucky senior brothers were doomed, and even Mr. Shan Hai avoided bringing them up, fearing it would only add to the sorrow.

If they were to find out those three fools were still alive, they would surely be overjoyed.

Bai Junjun sighed, "Your tactic of ’openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing through Chencang’ has achieved its purpose. In my opinion, Yuwen Jun won’t have the time to bother with you any time soon. You’d better hurry back."

Yuwen Qi nodded, "That’s exactly our plan; we’re preparing to retreat in the coming days."

The original plan for tonight was to feign an attack on the City Lord’s Mansion, then fake a defeat and disappear after retreating here.

Unexpectedly, they encountered Bai Junjun, and his act of showing weakness had inadvertently caused Bai Junjun to misunderstand and step in to help.

Fortunately, though the situation didn’t follow the plan, the outcome was the same, and perhaps even better than their original strategy of retreating after feigned defeat.

It was likely that the chaos outside would now keep Yuwen Jun thoroughly preoccupied.

"Speaking of which, we caught an important piece of intelligence today."

Yuwen Qi looked at the two of them with an expression full of gossip.

"?"

"What is it?"

The two "melon eaters" immediately perked up, eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Seeing the familiar enthusiasm of these drama-loving onlookers, Yuwen Qi merely pursed his lips into a smile and said, "Yuwen Jun and the Fifth Prince are not as at odds as they appear to outsiders. They are actually true allies. Now, Yuwen Feng has come to Biluo City for two reasons: one, to find Yuwen Luanfei, and two, to secure the Eastern Land."

"What does that mean?" The two melon eaters were puzzled.

Hadn’t the Eastern Land been stabilized long ago? The only unpredictable factor was Yuwen Qi’s disguised "Remnant Forces of the Third Prince."

Could it be that Yuwen Feng really came to suppress Yuwen Qi? If so, it would only indicate that Yuwen Qi’s provocations towards Yuwen Jun had gone a bit too far.

Yuwen Qi shook his head repeatedly, signaling it had nothing to do with him.

"We intercepted a secret letter. In the coming days, the Xuanwei Army plans to make a move on the Western Region. Yuwen Feng’s arrival in the Eastern Land is to prevent any unexpected moves from Yuwen Jun. In other words, he’s here to keep an eye on Yuwen Jun."

The two melon eaters’ eyes widened in unison, as if they had just heard an earth-shattering revelation.

"Speaking of which, I found Yuwen Song’s sudden attack on the Imperial Capital rather rushed and abrupt. It was as if he had been brainwashed—acting purely on impulse without much thought."

"If the Fifth Prince had instigated his actions, then everything would make sense."

People are often easily incited and manipulated during bouts of fervor, and decisions made under these circumstances tend to have many flaws.

In a flash of realization, Bai Junjun clapped her hands. "Back when I was in the Northern Lands, Old Uncle Qiu once attempted to lead us through a secret passage to the Western Region, but midway, we ran into a military camp.

Thinking back now, that camp was probably stationed there in preparation for heading south to take the Western Region!"
