I Only Marry Widows-Chapter 125 - 109: Establishing a Sect and Plotting for Yuchuan

Lu Chengfeng smiled and said, "Relying solely on my own strength, it is naturally as difficult as climbing to the heavens. But what if I borrow the strength of the sect?"

"Hmm?" The three of them looked at him with puzzled expressions.

Lu Chengfeng said with a smile, "The Zhao Family was one of the founding members of the Celestial Patrol Department, holding the Celestial Patrol Order. However, the Zhao Family never considered establishing a sect."

"If I assume the identity of Zhao Tianyou and establish a sect in Central State, you senior brothers and sisters can join the sect."

"Even if other people from the Celestial Patrol Department discover it, they would only think that Zhao Tianyou has allied with the Yuncang Sword Sect to avenge a deep blood feud."

"The Yuncang Sword Sect wants to preserve its seeds yet is unwilling to be swallowed up and suppressed by other powers within the Celestial Patrol Department. Hence, it chooses Zhao Tianyou, who is best controlled due to his lesser power."

"This way, we can justifiably unite and make a move against the Li Family."

Upon hearing this, the other three present all showed excited expressions.

"Junior Brother Lu, you truly are a genius!" Du Xiaoyue couldn’t help but speak, "To come up with such a method, you’re incredibly smart."

Du Mengyan took a deep breath, "If we can really accomplish this, we can establish our sect, even becoming a branch of the sect."

"If nothing happens to the sect, this is like extending the sect’s influence into Central State. If anything does happen, this will be the sect’s new inheritance and seed."

"At that time, we can support other sect disciples and elders to rise again."

Tan Xiong also nodded and said, "Exactly, the most crucial point is that the Zhao Family, being one of the founders of the Celestial Patrol Department and holding the Celestial Patrol Order, means that by establishing a sect on the basis of the Zhao Family, we will face much less restriction and suppression."

"Moreover, it won’t arouse too much resistance and alertness from other forces within the Celestial Patrol Department."

With each word, everyone became more excited, feeling that they had discovered an incredibly bright path. If this thing can be accomplished, it would be a perfect fallback for the sect.

Then, by using the Zhao Family’s shell, the Yuncang Sword Sect can become part of the Celestial Patrol Department, naturally using its power to counter Youdu.

"Junior Brother, how do you plan to do this?" After discussing for a while, everyone felt this matter was promising, and Du Mengyan looked at Lu Chengfeng with newfound respect.

They felt that although this junior brother was young, he indeed had brilliance in his mind, with wisdom and strategy far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, she actively sought his advice.

Lu Chengfeng took out a pre-prepared map from his bosom and walked to the side table, slowly unfolding the scroll.

On the map, the Nine Prefectures of the Central Province and the counties of the Northern Lands were clearly outlined. Although it wasn’t detailed to the cities and landscapes, the situation in the Northern Lands could be clearly seen.

The other three also gathered around the table. Lu Chengfeng pointed to Yuchuan County, one of the Nine Prefectures of the Central Province, and said, "The Li Family now controls Yuchuan County, one of the nine prefectures, with Li Xiaotian serving as the Garrison Marshal of this army, leading three thousand elite troops."

"If we are to establish a sect, the best choice is Yuchuan County."

"Firstly, due to the blood feud between the Zhao Family and the Li Family, even if it becomes a bloody conflict with the Li Family, others will consider it justified and won’t intervene lightly."

"Secondly, choosing elsewhere may provoke opposition and hostility from local vested interests, creating more enemies."

"Thirdly, Yuchuan County is located at the northernmost part of Central State, bordering Qingzhou..."

Lu Chengfeng paused, his eyes deep, "Qingzhou is a bitter and cold place, with rampant banditry, vast lands, and sparse population, without a dominating power."

"In Yuchuan County, we can recruit bandits from Qingzhou, train troops, and expand forces. In the future, if we want to expand further, we can aim for Qingzhou."

"Moreover, if something happens to Yuncang in the future, disciples can retreat from Qingzhou, bypassing to retreat to Yuchuan, and this route is safer than others."

"Furthermore, the boundary of Qingzhou is the West Sea; if there’s nowhere to stay, we can sail to an island."

"This way, we can advance or retreat freely."

"Therefore, Yuchuan County is indeed our best choice for establishing a sect."

Du Mengyan looked at the map for a long while and slowly said, "In that case, we’ll start with Yuchuan County, eliminate Li Xiaotian, and seize Yuchuan."

Du Xiaoyue and Tan Xiong both displayed excited expressions, feeling hopeful and motivated, no longer anxious and lost like before.
