Even if they did, they had spent everything while escorting Prince Xiao over the past few days.
Was Prince Xiao asking them to steal?
"Your Highness, hang in there for a while longer. We'll be arriving at Yao City soon. City Lord Yao will welcome you personally. He'll provide you with good food and drinks."
Zhan Beixiao had a deputy general with him. He had no choice but to follow Zhan Beixiao since his family was in the Imperial Capital.
Otherwise, he would have defected to Zhan Beiye's side like the other deputy generals. Who would want to follow a fool like Zhan Beixiao?
"Where is City Lord Yao?"
Zhan Beixiao was hungry, tired, thirsty, and angry.
He was so close to Yao City, yet City Lord Yao had not come out to welcome him. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to undermine his authority.
He knew that one of the deputy generals he had killed was City Lord Yao's nephew. City Lord Yao probably wanted to kill him now, right?
