Mei Shuyu thought to himself, once he gets out of this Barrier Forest, he wouldn't hesitate to go through fire and water for him in the future.
Those tricks he played with before were just petty cleverness. After coming to the Southwest, stepping onto the battlefield, leading soldiers alone, and having experienced being besieged and betrayed by Jing Jia'an, he finally understood that one should not live in such oblivion.
He had lived too obliviously before. If it had been Lu Zhiling or An Shuli in his place, even if they had encountered betrayal and assassination by Jing Jia'an, they likely wouldn't have ended up as miserable as he. They would certainly have found a way to lead these people out of the Barrier Forest and wouldn't have been trapped and died here like him.
He felt utterly useless.
However, the Crown Prince, his cousin, came to rescue such a useless person like him, and he had to remember this favor and treat him better in the future.
