The path to the Great Jin Dynasty is now closed.
If they fled to Southern Chu, Chu Yi might take them in. However, Chu Yi also said that Wei Jingzhuo was the only person who posed a threat to Southern Chu, and even if he wasn't killed, he would be placed under house arrest until his death.
Even if you're alive, being under house arrest for life is no different from being in prison. This path is also a dead end.
He fled to the Western Rong. The Western Rong king clearly stated that Wei Jingzhuo was the Western Rong's greatest enemy, and the Western Rong would never harbor him...
It was only then that she realized that being powerful was not a good thing. Every faction viewed Wei Jingzhuo as a threat.
If she doesn't run away, she can't think of a way to solve her current predicament.
She was deep in thought there, and Meng Ruliu was also lost in thought.
The carriage fell silent for a moment, with only the slight crackling of burning charcoal and the occasional spark.
“Sister, there’s a way that might work,” Meng Ruliu said. “Let’s mobilize all the troops guarding Xiping Pass and launch a direct attack on one side.

Then, won’t the court officials in Shangjing have to support us?”

My father once said, ‘Put yourself in a life-or-death situation and you will survive.’ Perhaps we can defeat Wei Shao in one battle.”
Seeing that Meng Ruliu's words were so logical, Su Wan was overjoyed and said, "Sister, you're absolutely right. Ah Jin is so capable, and with you by my side, it'll be even easier. We should capture the leader first and charge straight into the enemy camp to capture Wei Shao..."
As the two were talking animatedly, Su Yuze sniffed and said, "Sister, there's a burnt smell."
Su Wan looked down and saw that one of the sweet potatoes was burnt.
"It's okay, it's okay, it tastes even better when it's burnt. Just peel off the burnt skin," she said, blowing on it as she pulled it out. "It's so hot... I'm going to eat it now."
The three of them were eating roasted sweet potatoes when Lin Qingfeng's voice came from outside.
"Mistress, we can already see Xiping Pass."
