Si Yi rode up to the carriage window and reported, "Master, it is the generals of the main camp."
Gu Linchao was taken aback. At this moment, a strong voice said, "Your Highness, we are willing to follow you to the death. We beg Your Highness to allow us to accompany you."
"I beg Your Highness's permission to accompany me!"
"I hope Your Highness will grant me permission to accompany you!"

Upon hearing this, the generals were delighted, but before they could express their gratitude, Gu Linchao suddenly changed the subject, "However, I must declare beforehand that once we arrive in Xiangzhou, you will only have the positions of feeding horses and cleaning toilets to choose from.
