The team set off,
followed by eight hundred Snow Sea cavalry,
accompanied by Siniang, A Ming, and Xue Three.
Liang Cheng needed to stay at home to hold the fort; no matter what, Snow Sea Pass had to keep a competent fighter.
Siniang followed because after experiencing a sleepless night alone in the tent during the last expedition,
Zheng Fan had promised to always take her along on long journeys in the future.
It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
The blind man, feeling burdened, had to remain behind to manage a large pile of tasks as the chief steward.
As for Xue Three and A Ming, since these two had not progressed, they were taken along on the trip in case an opportunity for advancement arose.
