The Expert Hits a Wall

Bai Yi and Xi Qishu were both generals and the emperor of Great Qin's trusted men.

After the battle on Mount Xiao, Bai Yi was more than qualified to hold a high position in the army. However, in view of Bai Yi's swordsmanship, the emperor of Great Qin transferred Bai Yi out of the army and made Bai Yi one of his lackeys. On the surface, Bai Yi seemed like an idle official. In truth, Bai Yi secretly helped him to remove the thorns in his side.

In the past, there was an official who was impressed by Bai Yi's achievements during the battle on Mount Xiao. However, when he tried to rope Bai Yi into his cause, he was killed by Bai Yi. From then on, the emperor viewed Bai Yi as his confidant.

…

The moon was dim and the wind was strong when Bai Yi arrived near the vicinity of the Zhao Residence.

He was careful and patient like a hunter as he observed his surroundings.
