A Glance Terrifies Hu Hai, The Loyal Servant Zhao Gao

"Young Master, when you meet the Da Liangzao shortly, you must show him the utmost respect. He is a man whom His Majesty deeply values and appreciates. Furthermore, his strength is peerless, and his prestige within the military is at its zenith; he is destined to become a pillar of the Qin State."

"If you can forge a bond with him and secure his support, your path forward will be far smoother."

"Is the Teacher not overestimating him? He is but a martial brute, a Blood Butcher. While he has earned some military merit, how is he worthy of my respect? It is he who should be respecting me!"

"Young Master, this man is tyrannical and fierce. He previously executed eight hundred retainers of the Chancellor before the palace gates and even pointed his halberd at the Chancellor, speaking words that pierced the heart. He is utterly lawless; you must not be rude to him."

"Tch, lawless? Our Qin State was founded upon the law, and I have studied the law. Can he truly be greater than the Qin Statutes? What if I am rude to him? What could he possibly do to me?"

"The Teacher worries too much. Why must you have me follow that Butcher to learn how to govern an army? What does that Blood Butcher even know? And what could possibly be fun about the military?"

"Young Master, the Da Liangzao is not merely skilled in governing armies and warfare. His questions before the palace gates have already stumped many great scholars and even shaken the Confucian heart of Young Master Fusu. If Young Master Fusu ceases to insist on Confucianism and instead follows the Da Liangzao to learn military governance, gaining his support, His Majesty will favor him even more."
