Yuan Yao only hoped to suffer less torment, so he was very cooperative along the way, afraid that Ding Ling would kill him out of displeasure.
Because Ding Ling said himself that keeping one hostage was actually quite sufficient.
This left Yuan Yao in fear, and his performance often outshone Yuan Yin's.
He hoped that if someone must die, it would be Yuan Yin.

Yuan Yao was indifferent.
As long as one is alive, anything is possible; if dead, then truly nothing remains.

Wearing heavy armor on horseback was advantageous for defense.
