Sun Xiang's mind went blank.

He already felt somewhat guilty.

After all, they had always obeyed the orders of the Chifeng Army, and the Chifeng Army would never allow anyone from Dayu to be abandoned.

He was deeply affected. Although he had been following General Ren Tianye in the rebellion these days, he hadn't had time to think about many things. He was being pushed along by the surging tide, consciously or unconsciously.

But those matters were all decided by the General.

He did whatever General Ren Tianye said!

Driven by their inner instincts, they are more inclined to obey military orders.

Now that he has the authority to lead these teams, his deepest logic naturally comes to the fore.

He already felt guilty about abandoning some of his followers, but now he felt even more ashamed of being exposed in public.

For a moment, I felt quite ashamed.

Fortunately, Sun Xiang was determined and kept Ren Tianye's instructions in mind at all times. He quickly said, "The team cannot stop."

"The barbarian army could arrive at any time."

"However, you shouldn't worry too much."

"After we all leave normally, I will leave behind a team of a hundred people to search along the way for the lost citizens of Dayu."

"I believe they will be alright."

"Let's go now!"

The young man completely disagreed, still holding onto Sun Xiang's horse tightly, shouting, "No, no..."

"That way, my sweetheart won't be able to find us."

"She's in danger."

"You must stay."

"We must stay and wait for her."

Sun Xiang was anxious: "But are all these people going to wait?"

"Wait, everyone!"

Sun Xiang: "..."

At this moment, he suddenly missed the feeling of being invisible by General Ren Tianye's side. When faced with these complicated situations, even those that might cross his psychological bottom line, the general always had a way to handle them.

However, the very thought that arose in his mind gave him a newfound inspiration.

He wondered what General Ren Tianye would do if he were present.

"We have to wait for her anyway."

"I won't leave unless my sweetheart comes!"

"You people don't understand what love is at all."

"I have absolutely no idea how to protect love!"

The young man continued rambling on, and in that brief moment, Sun Xiang also thought about what General Ren Tianye would do if he were there.

His expression suddenly hardened, and he said coldly, "Then you can stay and wait for her!"

"Guards, keep him here."

"Let him wait for her sweetheart!"

Two soldiers stepped out from both sides, pulled the young man away, and when he tried to resist, they kicked him to the ground.

There was no way to stop Sun Xiang anymore.

Sun Xiang immediately shouted, "Everyone, head towards Yunji City quickly!"

The main force, especially the families of the Eight Hundred Army, still had a strong sense of "obeying orders," especially knowing that the barbarians would most likely be chasing after them.

Those barbarians were ruthless and never treated the Yu people as human beings. They didn't want to stay and become victims of the barbarians' swords.

They not only obeyed orders, but also noticeably increased their speed.

However, some people are still dissatisfied.

Sun Xiang hadn't taken two steps when an elderly woman stopped him again: "How could you abandon him?"

"You don't remember him?"

"He's a friend of your great-aunt's second son's son's classmate."

"Related by blood or kinship."

How could you abandon him?

"Don't you have any conscience at all?"

"Stop the team immediately and bring him back to life."

This series of names left Sun Xiang completely bewildered. For a moment, he couldn't understand what kind of relationship he had with the young man who had been abandoned.

However, having learned from his experience dealing with that young man, the moral mountain that had been weighing on Sun Xiang's mind had begun to loosen.

The situation was now extremely critical, so without further hesitation, he coldly said, "Since you pity that young man, then you may stay as well!"

"Men, leave this person behind as well."

"Yes, sir!" It was the same two soldiers again, who grabbed the old woman from the ranks and threw her aside.

This time, Sun Xiang spurred his horse and galloped away.

He was assigned the duties of a general at the front of the troops, and despite his utmost efforts, he was still criticized.

"How can you ride a horse while making us walk?"

"Can't you see how old I am? Get down, let me ride the horse, and you can walk."

The speaker was a middle-aged woman.

After walking for so long, she didn't seem out of breath or blushing. However, when she said this, she put her hands on her hips, as if it were perfectly natural.

This is infuriating!

Sun Xiang immediately drew his sword, spurred his horse forward, and chopped off her head with a single stroke.

Instantly, the group fell completely silent.

There was no sound at all.

Everyone, except for the families of the Eight Hundred soldiers who had already followed the rules, fell silent.

A deathly silence.

The marching speed of the team also increased instantly.

The chances of escaping the pursuit of the barbarian army are much greater.

At this moment, Sun Xiang was conflicted!

"I... I think I understand the general's instructions."

"I think I understand the General now!"

"So, this is what the Great General wanted!"

With a sudden burst of energy, he shouted, "All soldiers, listen to my command! During the march, anyone who disobeys discipline, deliberately delays, or even dares to obstruct the main force..."

"Kill them all without exception!"

The thousand soldiers he brought with him readily accepted the order.

The amiable expression on his face instantly transformed into a cold, murderous aura.

This allowed the nearly 10,000-strong team to increase its speed even further, and not only were there no objections, but everyone also behaved as obediently as soldiers in an army.

The journey was incredibly smooth.

They quickly moved away from the battlefield, and the chances of being chased by the barbarian army became fewer and fewer.

This allowed Sun Xiang, who was leading the team, to gradually relax.

They even gradually became somewhat complacent.

Thinking back to when I escorted the people of Dayu with the Chifeng Army, I was filled with anxiety and fear, and we often had to stop to search for the people who had fallen behind.

After finally finding them, I still have to comfort them one by one.

The key issue is that many people can't be comforted even after a long time.

Only when they were caught up by the barbarians and had no choice but to fight, sacrificing the lives of several, or even a dozen, soldiers, were they able to barely complete the mission of escorting the people of Dayu.

Suddenly I realized how miserable my past life had been!

It's just escorting the people of Dayu, how could it be that difficult?

"Hurry up, let's get to Yunji City as soon as possible. Once we get there, we'll be completely safe."

With another shout, Sun Xiang, riding on his horse, led the way, heading straight for Yunji City in a grand procession!
