Just when he was about to die, Marquis Xu saved him.
At that time, he was just an ordinary soldier, and the Marquis was the Chief Commander of the camp. Their statuses were vastly different.
But after knowing the reason for his punishment was disobeying orders during the operation and delaying the process, the Marquis let him go.
Not only did the Marquis save him, but he also invited him to the Chief Commander's tent and served him wine.
That day, the Marquis said a lot to him.
He said: You held firm under the blazing sun, unyielding and firm, a model of manliness. It would be a supreme waste if a mistake popped you off. Your life should be used on the battlefield, defending our nation.
He said: There will always be evil in the military camps, everyday life, and ordinary homes. What matters is not how to avoid this evil, but how to defend the virtue in our hearts.
