he was afraid of death.
If he faced Xia Wenqing alone, based on what he had done before his resurrection, the other party would most likely find an excuse to kill him on the spot.
At least, if he were in Xia Wenqing's position, this would be the best choice. He knew that the other party had the intention to rebel and could cause trouble at any time. If he didn't quickly get rid of such an unstable factor, would he still keep it for the new year?
the only way he could feel safe was to stand with his direct descendants and rely on their numbers.
in fact, from his point of view, the best way to save himself now was to incite his subordinates to start a full-scale rebellion, and completely collapse the situation of the entire dazhou academy like before he loaded the file. he would then take the opportunity to continue to hold on to west rulai's thigh. only then would he have a chance of survival.
