During the Qianfu era of the Tang Dynasty, the salt ponds of Puzhou run red with blood, and Tang cavalry trample the dreams of the common people. Xie Yanshi learns martial arts from Wang Xianzhi and makes the words "equality and fairness" the core of his convictions.
He is Wang Xianzhi's direct disciple, inheriting his master's skills with the goose bow and matching the sharpness of carved-feather arrows with the edge of a wild-goose-feather arrow. He charges alongside Shang Rang and hears Huang Chao recite his "Fragrance Filling the Sky" verse, yet sees the malice concealed by Zhu Wen's great club and the conflicting motives lurking in Lin Yan's shadows.
The Sunset Arrow is passed down by Pi Rixiu; the shadow of the Qinglian Sword falls across Wei Zhuang. Tian Lingzi's embroidery needle conceals a killing intent, while Li Cunxiao's Flying Tiger Spear shakes the realm. Saltpeter ignites beacons across the salt ponds, aristocratic clans are buried beneath Chang'an's palaces, and a battered bow in Wolf-Tiger Valley protects the people.
The banner of justice rises to the heavens, and the goose bow sings across the late Tang. See how an ordinary archer uses his bow to shape the battlefield and his ingenuity to defeat his enemies, as he withstands the deadly struggle among warlords, aristocratic clans, and religious forces, stays true to the rebel army's founding ideals, and protects the people across thousands of miles!
