Chapter 347: Further Arrangemen (1/2)

Pei Rumo and Lu Wenshu cursed at Bai Luochu’s wit. She was truly hard to deceive.

Pei Rumo felt that his brain juices were about to run dry but he was still unable to think of an excuse to dismiss Bai Luochu’s suspicions.

Lu Wenshu’s brains moved faster and he thought of a reply immediately, “We disagreed about something.”

After Lu Wenshu’s explanation, Bai Luochu nodded skeptically before asking again, “Why don’t you tell me about the cause of the disagreement? I might be able to think of a better solution for you.”

Since Bai Luochu made the suggestion, the duo couldn’t think of any reason to refuse. Without a choice, Pei Rumo explained, “Now that we have entered the Desolate Region, we need to think of our next course of action. We were arguing over the marching schedule.”

“Tell me the plan.” Bai Luochu was still suspicious and she wanted to bait them into saying something wrong.

“In my opinion, the soldiers would be exhausted if they were to start marching after being trapped into the fog for such a long time. I suggested that we take a short break before advancing. His First Highness felt that we have delayed the journey for far too long and wanted to set off immediately.” It seemed as though Lu Wenshu had already thought of an excuse when Pei Rumo was speaking to Bai Luochu.

After hearing the cause of conflict, Bai Luochu no longer bothered with the two men. After all, the biggest problem right now was the campaign to conquer the Desolate Region.

After thinking it over, Bai Luochu suggested, “This isn’t a good place to have such a discussion. There is no water supply here and the temperature is too high. If we remain here for a long time, problems might arise. Looking for a water source should be a priority. Let’s set up camp after finding a source of water before discussing the marching schedule.”

When Pei Rumo and Lu Wenshu saw that Bai Luochu had finally stopped harping on the matter of their conflict, they heaved a sigh of relief. Since Bai Luochu had given a suggestion, there was no reason to object.

An order from Pei Rumo made the soldiers head out to look for a source of water.

They managed to find one before long and the army quickly set up camp.

Pei Rumo was in the main tent along with Bai Luochu and Lu Wenshu as they came up with a plan to reach the core of the Desolate Region.

“Where are we now?” Bai Luochu looked at the map on Pei Rumo’s table and asked.
