Actually, Chiang Xiao knew that if Meng Xinian was willing, she could reach out to Li Hanzhong, and it was very likely to ensure that he wouldn't have to go.
But, would Meng Xinian really want that?
If he was originally on the list, would having Li Hanzhong remove his name make Meng Xinian feel at ease?
Would he keep thinking about this matter afterward?
He has never been the kind of person to find a way to retreat because he was afraid of death.
For him, even if there was danger, he would still move forward courageously. That is the true Meng Xinian, that is Tyrant Meng.
In fact, no matter what happens, Meng Xinian is more distressed than she is because whether he goes or not, he won't be happy.
If he goes, he'll worry about her, and he might feel he has let her down.
If he doesn't go, he'll feel he has backed down, became greedy for life, used his background to pick tasks. That's precisely the kind of person he despises.
