Was Xiao Baoshu vain?
That must be it.
Moreover, even the most vain person would know what it meant to be welcomed by the emperor. That was the emperor's declaration, his honor.
Xiao Baoshu wanted to kill himself in the rain. He regretted it so much.
Originally, he was rather unwilling to be called back by an imperial edict. He was just in the heat of the moment. After an hour, he would have to cross the mountains to the other side of the mountain to dig out the bandits 'nest. This was the same as that customer who had excitedly paid the fee and told him that the Happy Red Brothel had fallen.
On the way back to Jiankang, there were many times when he saw injustice.
Everyone said that being close to home was a feeling of timidity, but he was different. The closer he was to Jiankang City, the more homesick he was. Otherwise, he would not have been able to speed up his horse and rush through the rain. He was lucky that he did not fall to his death on the road.
