A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains

The Tang dynasty has only just been founded, and enemies surround it on all sides. Remnants of the old dynasty eye it hungrily from the front, while separatist forces from foreign lands encircle it from behind. Li Muyan, the second prince and Prince of Qin, is entrusted with a perilous mission. He sets out from the western capital of Chang'an and heads west to seize Jincheng. But fate has other plans: Li Muyan falls ill with an epidemic and is confined to his military camp. At court, the Crown Prince sends a carrier pigeon, intent on replacing the commander in the middle of the campaign and keeping Li Muyan trapped in his tent. For a time, the Tang army is left without a leader and teeters on the brink of disaster.

At this critical moment, the Tang army is in a dilemma. The military physicians are helpless, so people secretly search the city for a doctor and medicine. Just then, Xiao Yunge, courtesy name Ziyi, arrives from Luoyang heading west in search of someone, accompanied by Xingnu, a wolf from the wilderness. Hoping to fill the starving Xingnu's belly, he takes on this life-saving job.

"There are no drunken officers at Baling to stop General Li!"

The Prince of Qin fixes his sharp gaze on the young man in white and says, "Ziyi, a wise bird chooses its tree. No one in the world surpasses me in building the Tang dynasty and devising military strategy. This Lin Yuan Pavilion is filled with the finest talents under heaven, all of them mine..."
