He is the sharp sword of the country, Zuo Zongtang, who is as honest as steel. In his eyes, the safety of thousands of miles of territory and the dynasty is in danger. He is Hu Xueyan, the God of Wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, who is as smooth as water. He holds gold, silver, sea and human connections in his hands.
One needs money, the other needs power. A contract connects the feudal general and Bai Yiqing. He provided him with blood and oxygen, supporting the unparalleled success of pacifying the northwest; he put a yellow mantle on him and pushed him into the clouds of incomparable wealth.
But this is ultimately a bargain. When the situation in the court suddenly changed, Commander Zuo's protection was powerless. From being sincere to each other, to sharing the same boat through thick and thin, and then to the moment when the building was about to collapse, Hu Xueyan was shocked to realize that it was the country or Zuo Zongtang who he was supporting with all his efforts. When the tide recedes, what is left behind is the wreckage of calculations, or is it a confidant relationship that transcends interests?
