"Miss Junjun, what do you think?"
Bai Junjun had not expected that Li Wenli would be able to piece together the princes’ schemes with so little information.
In the memories and cognition of the original owner of her body, Li Wenli was unremarkable in both appearance and strategy, the most striking feature being his frail constitution.
Now she had a new understanding of Li Wenli; his strategies were astonishing, and what was even more valuable was that after he obtained information, he did not sneak away but instead gave his companions sufficient warning and choice.
To tell the truth, such a person was worth making an alliance with, whether in The Apocalypse or anywhere else.
Unfortunately, it was precisely the family she had gravely offended with this body.
Why was she so unlucky!
Bai Junjun took her time before answering Old Uncle Qiu’s question.
Qiu Er and Qiu San could not hold back anymore and silently raised their hands.
"Father, I want to take a gamble and go with the Seven-Person Team."
"Don’t add chaos, children should not interrupt when adults are talking."
Old Uncle Qiu glared at them.
"..." Qiu Er and Qiu San looked at their father, daring to be angry but not speaking out.
Calling them children, yet Miss Junjun was even younger than them, right? How come their father was only lenient on the officials but not on the villagers!
The Qiu family’s squabble brought Bai Junjun back from her reverie.
She looked at everyone seriously and sighed.
If it was just her alone, she would have made the same choice as Li Wenli without any hesitation: to seize a ship.
With her abilities, seizing a ship and leaving would have been a breeze.
But now she was accompanied by her younger siblings, and Old Uncle Qiu’s family had both old and infirm members; everyone had their vulnerabilities, so what gave them the assurance to take risks?
Bai Junjun said helplessly, "To be honest, I think the second route is very suitable for you."
Before Old Uncle Qiu could speak, Madam Liu turned pale, "No, no, no, let’s go south, please."
Clearly, the emotional trauma left by bandits raiding the village had not yet healed.
Old Uncle Qiu also nodded in agreement. Although he was a hunter, he didn’t want to head into the deep mountains and be like a sitting duck for the slaughter.
Bai Junjun felt helpless, "Since nobody wants to stay in the mountains, then we only have the southern route left. However, of the remaining two options, I suggest we choose the first one."
Qiu Er and Qiu San were somewhat surprised.
With Miss Junjun’s abilities, she shouldn’t have picked the most conservative option. The brothers couldn’t help blurting out,
"Miss Junjun, please reconsider!"
After all, the Seven-Person Team was so strong, and they themselves weren’t weak; combining forces would increase their chance of success.
Bai Junjun glanced at them helplessly, not having expected that Qiu Er and Qiu San would grow into courageous young men after facing life-and-death situations.
However, now was not the time to be ruled by emotions.
"I have no problem taking risks, but what about your sister-in-law and your little nephew? Are they supposed to wield slingshots and join you in snatching food from the mouth of the Xuanwei Army?"
Qiu Er and Qiu San’s mouths fell open: "Of course they shouldn’t raid; after we seize a ship, then we can call them..."
The two trailed off as they spoke.
"Unless you have the ability to annihilate the entire Xuanwei Army and even deal with the Ninth Guard, where’s the time for you to seize a ship and then go back to find people to board? If they hide too far, they won’t be able to get on the ship in time; if they hide too close, they will be detected by the Xuanwei Army. So what do you suggest is best?"
"Miss Junjun is right!" Old Uncle Qiu agreed emphatically, slapping his thigh.
In fact, he too was more inclined towards the first option.
Qiu Er and Qiu San finally lowered their heads in shame.
"However, the first road is not easy either; we must leave across the bridge within the time governed by the Ninth Guard, otherwise, it will be troublesome once the Xuanwei Army takes over."
