Upon hearing this, Cheng Yun felt that Su Rong made sense and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Vice General Feng Sheng was not a stickler for the old rules and unable to adapt to change; with Nangong Zheng's 300,000 troops and only 40,000 on his side, victory was impossible. The only wise decision would be to retreat and escape. He surely wouldn't foolishly choose to hold their ground and resist obstinately.
After all, these were troops that His Majesty had privately trained for five years. They could not afford a failure at their debut, otherwise, wouldn't they be a laughingstock?
Wanniang asked Su Rong, "Master, did Master Xie eventually fall into the hands of Nangong Zheng?"
Su Rong nodded, looked at her and said, "Nangong Yun and Nangong Zhuo are in my hands now, Nangong Zheng will probably not kill Uncle Xie, especially with so many from the Nangong family in our custody. Even though we are outnumbered, we still have some cards to play against Nangong Zheng."
