"Why?" Sheng reiterated her question. "Of course the only choices they had were surrender or die. The later is a good choice, at least you can save your dignity to be dead in the battlefield, but the former is more tempting." He sneered at the choice that Xiao Wang Wei had taken. If that was true than it was so disgraceful to surrender without fighting back, he didn't deserve the title as a Prince.
Senja felt something amiss with the whole 'surrender' thing.
"So, what else did you hear?" She furrowed her brows tightly, trying to figure out what would be their next step.
Sheng stopped walking and leaned closer to Senja, talking in secretive way. "I heard your father is dead, but I don't know the validity of this news, Uncle Su and Xun had gone to confirm it." He was half whispered, "While me, I was ordered to wait for you." Emphasizing the last sentence to let Senja knew how annoyed he was to be left behind.
