In fact, the bandit elder's guess proved accurate; Miao Kuangfeng indeed intended to protect Cao Buwei. He wasn't a fool, and of course, he could see Ding Dalin taking the blame for Cao Buwei. It's just that he didn't delve into it. After a great battle, over ten thousand soldiers were injured or killed, and more than half of the generals suffered the same fate. It was easy to train soldiers but not so easy to train generals. Cao Buwei was also considered a capable leader, so to kill him would be a great pity, especially when there was a shortage of troops and officers. Keeping Cao Buwei became very important...
After much thought, Miao Kuangfeng ultimately decided to spare Cao Buwei's life.
How clever Gao Fei was! He thought carefully and understood Miao Kuangfeng's intentions.
"Cao Buwei really has good luck," Gao Fei scoffed.
"I'm very curious, what grievance do you have with Cao Buwei that you must fight to the death?" the bandit elder asked doubtfully.
