This was a show of power from Meng Yi, and he made it abundantly clear that any loose talk would ensure that person could not walk away unscathed.
Even the Lame Man understood that today was a good opportunity to challenge Meng Yi. If he were to speak up about how Meng Yi had deserted the battle that day, then it would be Meng Yi who couldn't walk away unscathed.
But what good would it do to say anything?
At most, Meng Yi would be beaten with military sticks or fined a portion of his military pay. After all, they were just the abandoned ruddy men. Now was a time when every man was needed, and using the life of an elite troop to exchange for the life of a ruddy man was a loss-making deal that the Great General naturally didn't want to make, and perhaps Meng Yi would even be rewarded for his decision to abandon position to save the troops.
