The founding emperor of the Dashuo Dynasty left behind two tiger talismans, the civil talisman controlled strategy, and the martial talisman controlled military power.
Shen Yan, a counselor from a poor family, accidentally rescued the prince who was carrying the Wenhu Talisman. Xiao Che, the general of the aristocratic family, found the Wuhu Talisman in a bloody battle at the border.
The two formed an alliance due to the New Deal, and the decrees implemented by Shen Yan required Xiao Che's iron fist to be implemented.
In the court, they work together to overthrow the prime minister, but secretly they test each other's bottom line.
During the salt policy reform, Shen Yan deliberately leaked wrong information to lure Xiao Che into the situation.
Xiao Che followed the plan and pretended to be in an ambush, and backhandedly exposed Shen Yan's hidden stake to his political opponents.
After narrowly escaping death, Shen Yan smiled and handed over the antidote: "General Xiao, next time you plot against me, remember to detoxify yourself first."
Xiao Che wiped the blood stains on his sword: "To each other, the rebels brought by Master Shen just happened to clean up the worms in the army for me."
The two symbols shimmered in the moonlight, as if mocking the pair of allies who poisoned and detoxified each other.
