Although Tiger Head and Little Lion were bratty, having stayed by their father's side all along, they had always been able to see the big picture of the relationship between countries. Their horizons were naturally much more expanded than Lieutenant Lin and the others. Therefore, the two of them did not agree to Lieutenant Lin's suggestion to kill the captives. They said, "Since there are just eight of them, it's not troublesome to bring them along. If they can survive until we return to Great Qi, it'll be more beneficial to us."
Recalling the widely circulated story of King Rong capturing prisoners for ransom, Lieutenant Lin thought that the two young masters were going to imitate their father. He recalled the ransom that King Rong had set back then and realized that they could earn quite a significant sum from these eight people.
The two young masters would definitely not covet these ransoms, so in the end, the soldiers would still split the money.
