Chapter 365: Change of Plan (1/2)
“That’s right. If the same faction can send out so many formidable individuals, they are an influential one. If those people are not from the same faction… the power structure of the Desolate Region will be unpredictable. There are too many hidden talents and I’m afraid a storm of blood will wash through the Desolate Region soon.” Bai Luochu carried on Pei Rumo’s statement.
Pei Rumo was different from before and he was no longer as anxious as he was in the past. He felt that since they had found the location of the ruins, there was no longer anything they needed to worry about. All they had to do now was to plan their next course of action.
“What should we do next? Do you have any ideas?” Pei Rumo sat down in front of the writing desk and asked Bai Luochu.
Bai Luochu already had a plan in mind and was merely waiting for Pei Rumo to ask. Not wanting to waste anymore time, Bai Luochu started to speak of her plans.
“We shall send a message to the soldiers at the border region. Ensure that supplies are sufficient and that the soldiers are ready to move out at any time. The situation in the Desolate Region is too uncertain and a battle might break out when we are least expecting it. We must be ready for everything that comes our way. Time is no longer on our side.”
“Next, the two of us shall continue to scout out the ruins. I have a feeling that many people there will recognize you and if you appear, it will be more convenient for me to conduct my investigation. Moreover, you can stop those who are plotting malicious schemes against me in the dark. They might even come out and start to negotiate with us, sparing us a ton of effort.” Bai Luochu finished speaking and paused for a moment.
Pei Rumo thought that Bai Luochu was already done, hence, he raised his brows and tried to tease her, “What? Are you done? Don’t try to fool me. The great Divine Physician Bai should have a much more comprehensive plan.”
“Is Your First Highness looking down on me? I am merely pausing to catch my breath. My plans have never disappointed you before, right?!” Bai Luochu was already used to Pei Rumo making fun of her and immediately fought back.
The two of them were able to behave in such a relaxed manner even when the situation was so tense… Some people might find it unbelievable but they were well adapted to deal with the pressure placed on their shoulders. Regardless how well equipped they were to deal with stress they faced, the relaxed atmosphere dissipated shortly.
“The soldiers we left behind at the border should be the stronger ones. They should scout out the vicinity of the border zone as well and report their findings to us. This will avoid unexpected changes in the situation.”
Bai Luochu was rather surprised that Pei Rumo agreed just like this. She originally thought she would have to waste more time trying to convince him.
Right at this moment, knocks came from outside the door.
“Knock knock.”
Bai Luochu turned around and asked, “Who is it?”
The person at the entrance was none other than Qin Feng. He was carrying a meal box and he waited respectfully at the entrance. After hearing Bai Luochu’s question, he immediately replied, “It is me, young lady. I am here to deliver lunch.”
