Chapter 347: Further Arrangement
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 .
Pei Rumo pointed to a location on the map and replied, “Seeing that water sources are scarce in the Desolate Region, we can confirm our general location . ”
Bai Luochu looked at the area on the map and her mood sank . She never expected that the Green Flame Eagle would bring them to such a place . It was located at an awkward position as it was in the middle of the border and the central region of the Desolate Region . It seemed as though she would have to teach the Green Flame Eagle some geography when she got back .
Even though that was the case, she didn’t intend to blame the Green Flame Eagle . She didn’t give it clear instructions when flying out of the fog . Moreover, this wasn’t the time to blame anyone .

“Your First Highness, what do you think we should do?” Bai Luochu already had a plan but she had to show some respect to the Commander in Chief of the army .
Pei Rumo muttered for a moment and recalled that Lu Wenshu spoke about how he was fixated about moving out immediately . Pei Rumo could only stick to his role .
“We are moving too slowly and the conditions in the Desolate Region are harsh . We should head to the battlefield as soon as possible so that we aren’t caught off guard . ”
Bai Luochu nodded . Even though he made sense, the soldiers might not be in their best condition to start their march to the central region .
“Young Master Lu, what do you think of this matter? I wish to hear your opinion . ” Bai Luochu turned to ask Lu Wenshu .

Lu Wenshu was delighted that she was speaking to him but he quickly composed himself as he knew that the campaign should be his priority .
“I feel that we should rest and reorganize ourselves . The situation on the battlefield is unclear and it will be better for us to practice caution . Moreover, we are running low on supplies and if we can’t replenish them, we won’t be able to last long in the Desolate Region . ”
Bai Luochu agreed with him, “Young Master Lu makes sense . Cultivators like us might not need supplies, but the soldiers are not cultivators . In my opinion, it will be better for us to replenish our supplies before heading out . ”
That was Pei Rumo’s original intention but because of what Lu Wenshu said earlier, he had to change his plans . Now that Bai Luochu had made the suggestion, he was happy to agree . However, he wasn’t pleased when he saw that Bai Luochu had the same thought process as Lu Wenshu . Feeling rather annoyed, he wanted to get back at Lu Wenshu .
“Since that is the case, I shall listen to you . ” Pei Rumo said to Bai Luochu .
Even though Bai Luochu was confused, Lu Wenshu knew that Pei Rumo was using the chance to get back at him .
“How can we replenish our supplies here? If the soldiers were to wander around without finding anything, it would be a complete waste of time . ” Immediately after, Pei Rumo spoke of his considerations .
