"What." Ye Shikai's palm loosened, and the dagger fell to the ground as he collapsed into the chair.
"The past two days, my subordinates and I infiltrated the Qin Army's camp with our team. Through reconnaissance, we discovered that on that fateful night, Commander Xue was completely surrounded by the Qin Army. He hid in a warehouse and to avoid capture, he set it on fire himself, but he... also perished in the blaze..."
"The dagger that Commander Xue carried with him became a trophy of a Qin General. During the Qin Army's defeat, we assassinated that general and brought back his head to honor the spirit of our commander."
Ye Shikai sat in his seat, silent for a long time. This time, fate was not on his side. Xue San fell, dying in the inferno. He could have escaped, but to burn the Qin Army's supplies, he sacrificed his own life.
