The late spring of the Dayin Dynasty was always shrouded in an insoluble fog, just like the entanglement between Xie Yanzhi (attack) and Su Zhao (receiver) that had been entangled for half a lifetime.
Xie Yanzhi, a civil servant with humeral bones as gentle as jade in the court, was grinding the strategies of the country and the country in his inkstone, and the killing order was hidden in his sleeve. He seems to be surrendering to the imperial power, but in fact he is navigating the turbulent court situation step by step. He can stir up the wind and clouds with just a flick of his fingertips, but there is a cold pool in his eyes that no one can understand.
Su Zhao, a flamboyant young general on the battlefield, carries a traitor's head with his silver spear, and an old family feud hangs on his waist. The bloody hatred of Zhenguo Hou Mansion is engraved in his bones and blood. He rides through the Helan Mountains, but when facing Xie Yan, he always reveals a certain degree of unguarded softness, just like the young man who secretly stuffed peach blossom notes under the locust tree of Taixue.
From the exchange of secret letters at the Zhuque Bridge, to the daggers in the Tongguan tent; from the life and death relationship between the twin poisonous poisons, to the change of throne in the Jinluan Palace. They are each other's sharp knives and the only accomplices in troubled times. When Xie Yanzhi steps onto the steps of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and when Su Zhao's blood stains the territory thousands of miles away, is this world a righteous cause for them to protect, or is it a cage that traps each other?
"Between you and me, the choice has never been about politics or personal relationships, but - to make this world a success, we must first break each other."
When the wind and snow covered Jinling City, the half-matched jade pendant felt hot in the palm of my hand, as if I could still hear the young man's whisper: "Xie Yanzhi, if one day the swords and weapons are facing each other, will your hands shake?"
Torture him
