...
The Chilin Imperial Palace still has three hundred thousand soldiers. Not wanting both sides to fight and harm the innocent people of the Chilin Imperial City, upon seeing the civilians receive grain, Xiao Changyi ordered the arrangement for the civilians to leave the Imperial City.
Once the battle is over, arrangements will be made for these civilians to return.
The civilians were deeply moved. Before leaving the Imperial City, they all bowed to Xiao Changyi and his men, thanking them.
Before Qiao Shouye could say a word for these civilians, Xiao Changyi had already managed to handle everything cleanly and efficiently. Not a single civilian was harmed, and they were all properly accommodated. Qiao Shouye felt even more sure that his choice to lead Shuangli City's people in surrendering was the right one, thus becoming even more loyal to Xiyun. He did not do it for himself; he only wished for the civilians to live well, and that was all.
