But Lu Shuyun was clearly not really thinking that way.
He was the Crown Prince. Why should he have to die alongside these aristocratic families? He already had a premonition that if he were captured, his father the Emperor certainly wouldn't spare him just because he was a Prince. Instead, he would surely be given poisoned wine or bestowed a white silk noose.
So if he wanted to live, he could not allow himself to be captured by the Imperial Army outside the city. He must find a way to leave Sufeng City.
Since this Chu Hongfei was also thinking of escaping, he might as well make use of him.
Chu Hongfei was from the Chu Family in the South, having grown up in Sufeng City, and having spent so many years there, he should be quite familiar with the city. Perhaps he could find a way to escape from it.
Of course, this wasn't the sort of thing one could openly talk about.
