If it's not enough, sell everything inside. Be sure to hide your identity, just like before. Your brother will definitely come back for you!" Cai Wenji's movement speed was as high as 71. As long as no one was chasing her on horseback, she could basically escape. If she survived, she could go to a village or a city, become a beggar again, and perhaps she could find her way back after being resurrected. "Brother Han, where are you going?" Cai Wenji asked doubtfully. "I'll hold them off, otherwise no one will escape!" "Ah... Brother Han, I'm too scared to go alone..." Cai Wenji hesitated.

    Dear readers, do you prefer mindless, purely action-packed stories or those with logical reasoning? Without belittling the intelligence of other warlords, what are the true motivations of each character? And please, don't start by labeling this guy as a dead man and that guy as a worthless spectacle. Don't just casually recruit famous generals. This book has normal logic, no system, doesn't vilify historical figures, doesn't randomly recruit generals, and is a slow burner. If you're interested, take your time and read about Ma Chao of Xiliang. He has a serious double standard in morality; he's compassionate towards the people of the Central Plains but ruthless against foreign invasions. Before the warlords have even figured things out, Ma Chao has already slaughtered millions on the grasslands—killing without mercy!
