They all knew about the grievances between Chu Zhiyao and Song Tianhai.
The two served in the army together under the same general, each as a guerrilla general with a hundred or so subordinates.
Two tigers cannot inhabit the same mountain: one is an heir of a prince, the other a young lord of a duke's mansion, neither yielding to the other, with constant open and covert struggles.
And yet, they also happened to be brothers-in-law.
Half a year ago, Song Tianhai was transferred back to Yujing to become a fifth-grade bodyguard with a saber by the Emperor's side.
This is also the promotion path for young lords: first, go to the army for training, then return to Yujing as a bodyguard with a saber near the Emperor, and after a few years, inherit the duke title and lead troops.
They had never determined a winner, neither convinced, neither liking the other.
This time, Chu Zhiyao returned, and they finally met face to face, ready to clash.
