   Summary

   When his reconnaissance mission makes it clear that the Qishan army is marching on Cloud Recesses, Wei Wuxian knows they don't stand a chance on their own. He reports in requesting military support, but instead of the backup he hoped for, all Wei Wuxian gets is an order to return home.

   He doesn't actually know anyone from Gusu, really, but they're still people. With destruction inevitable and every kingdom turning a blind eye, Wei Wuxian makes a choice. The only choice, as far as he's concerned. If no help is coming, Wei Wuxian will just have to save them himself.

   Fooling Wen Ruohan's soldiers into arresting him so he can stage a prison break? That's definitely on purpose. Setting events in motion that could reshape the world as they know it? That... might have been an accident.
