Capítulo 875: Chapter 371 Difficult Escape_2

At that moment, self-doubt and fear deeply filled his heart.

Therefore, when he saw Shen Qiu standing out in the face of danger, taking over his own responsibilities, and beginning to lead the army to escape the crisis,

he chose to retreat.

It seemed in doing so, he would no longer have to bear guilt, bear infamy, bear the responsibility that had been pressing on him, making him nearly unable to breathe.

Everything in the world seemed far away.

All he needed to do was to shrink within the small space of his carriage, and he wouldn't need to worry or feel anxious anymore; someone would handle everything for him.

Shen Qiu was like an ostrich burying its head, blinding himself from everything and no longer thinking.

However, such escapism was ultimately an illusion.

He knew that.

As the Chu forces kept pressing and the situation in Ning Country continued to deteriorate, he couldn't possibly keep running away forever.

One day, he would have to stand up.
