Wenheng walked forward and asked, "How long, exactly, will it take to clear this?"

Taking up this new post was completely different from his previous one as a Magistrate. He had been assigned over a hundred trusted aides, all of them experts handpicked by Mr. Cao.
The household servants, guards, and dart masters he'd brought along were just as numerous as his trusted aides, and every single one was highly skilled.
They had all been trained by Qi and Ba for several years. Even if they hadn't mastered all of their skills, they had learned a good deal.
Unfortunately, Qi and Ba had been sent by Empress Zhou simply to protect him on the way to Lu City. The moment they returned to Shangjing, they had gone back to their master's side.
