Chapter 1112

Why on earth was this?

"Commandant, you... think too highly of me."

Fan Zeng revealed a bitter smile.

This really treated him as a divine calculator.

He knew too few clues.

All of this was inferred based on some clues.

How could he possibly know the thoughts of Ying Ying Zi Ye and the others?

"What should we do then?"

"Is there really no other way?"

"Are we heading to that so-called Maurya Dynasty?"

"Or... surrender?"

"Let's not mention surrendering!"

"For the time being, surrendering is not as good as heading in the established direction."

"Maybe there is a way to live in that direction?"

"This is the path we chose; if we surrender now, it is too early."

"Sigh, how did things get to this point?"

"Who knows?"

"Say less."

The generals communicated in low voices.

Ren Xiao also revealed a bitter expression.

Things had developed to this point, which was unexpected.

There were really not many paths left to take now.

Ren Xiao only felt his head was getting bigger.

Either surrender, or head in the specified direction.

There was absolutely no third path to take.

If they wandered into barren and uninhabited places, they would die sooner or later.

It would be better to follow the location on the map.

As for surrendering, he really could not do it.

Surrendering meant failure, and life and death were unpredictable.

Life and death were in the hands of the Imperial Army.

Heading in the established direction, although the journey might be extremely dangerous, there was still a sliver of life.

Anyone would know how to choose this multiple-choice question.

"It seems there is only one path to take!"

Ren Xiao sighed, also quite helpless.

"Yes, no matter how dangerous the road ahead is, we must walk it."

"We must never sit and wait for death."

"Commandant does not need to be so dejected."

"Maybe there is a way out ahead."

Fan Zeng also continued in a serious tone.

Anyway, he would never surrender.

The result of his surrender would only be death.

If Ren Xiao and the others surrendered, it would not necessarily be death.

Between death and the unknown, the vast majority of people would choose the unknown.

"Guard strictly against the approach of pursuers."

"Rest in place first, and set off depending on the situation!"

"The destination this time is the Maurya Dynasty!"

Finally, Ren Xiao issued such an order.

He did not want to surrender either; as long as there was a sliver of opportunity.

He would continue to walk on, never giving up.

Now that the Imperial Army had not finished gathering, their time should be relatively sufficient.

Therefore, there was no rush to set off; wait until they were rested.

"Yes!"

The generals responded loudly.

They left one after another to make arrangements.

"By the way, Commandant, those few people said they wanted to be treated well."

"How should this matter be handled?"

A general who had just brought Shangqing Meng Yi and the others here asked as he was leaving.

After all, he did not want those people to continue to harass him.

Therefore, he asked an extra question.

Ren Xiao thought for a while before saying: "Their threat is not great."

"Just do as they said."

"Send people to watch them well."

Ren Xiao waved his hand wearily.

The general saw this, bowed, and left.

Soon—

News of the Maurya Dynasty and Nepal spread among the soldiers.

The soldiers who first learned of this news were all confused.

Because they had never heard of these two nations.

Now that news had spread that they were going to these two places, they were somewhat puzzled.

But soon they understood why they were heading in that direction.

The news passed down from above was simple and clear.

Expanding territory.

Only four simple words.

But it also stated the purpose of this trip.

The opinions among the soldiers were different.

It was not completely unified.

Once this news came out, the discussion continued to rise.

Everyone was saying something.

Some understood, and some did not.

Every kind of voice was there.

The soldiers suddenly became noisy.

But this sound did not last long before it disappeared one after another.

Everyone was already exhausted; how could they have the heart to talk nonsense.

Grabbing time to rest was the priority.

"Are you really my big brother's personal guard?"

"How come I have never heard of you?"

In a corner, a few people were sitting.

Shangqing Meng Yi looked at Shanu curiously.

Now they were no longer bound by hemp ropes.

And not far from them, there were more than a dozen soldiers watching them.
