Everyone came out of the imperial study.
Facing the cold wind, Bai Yi felt even more determined.
Cold clouds flashed across the sky, and a few dim stars flickered.
"General Bai, I wish you… a triumphant return." Cabinet Elder Liu gave a fake smile, cupped his hands slightly, and left.
Grand Chancellor Ye wanted to say something but hesitated. He patted Bai Yi and Censor Zhang's shoulders.
"Come back well. I'll warm up the wine and wait."
After they left, Censor Zhang walked to Bai Yi's side. "General Bai, thank you for this. I won't forget your righteous help in this life."
Bai Yi shook his head. "This isn't righteousness. It's a responsibility for me as a general. Censor Zhang, the journey ahead will be filled with difficulties. Let's each cherish our lives."
The two of them agreed to meet at the moat early tomorrow morning and set off.
He would go back tonight and have a good talk with his family.
