In the last years of Yongxi, the Dayin Dynasty suffered from internal and external troubles. The powerful prime minister Li Qing controlled the government and colluded with enemy countries with the intention of rebellion. When the emperor was critically ill, he secretly summoned Yan Lin, the commander of the imperial army, and Shen Jie, the censor's official, to deliver a secret order and asked them to protect the prince and clear the court.
Yan Lin, the commander of Dayin's imperial army, has unparalleled martial arts skills and is loyal and upright. He holds the Golden Dragon Token, which can be killed first and played later;
The emperor died and the prime minister launched an attack. Yan Lin and Shen Jie were hunted down and forced to join forces in the crisis. The two of them, one with superior force and the other with unparalleled ingenuity, embarked on a road full of thorns in the struggle for power and confrontation with force, from the initial testing of each other and friction in their stances, to the later heart-to-heart support and trust in each other's life and death.
They not only have to evade the dragnet set by the prime minister and deal with the serial assassinations of Jianghu masters, but also have to join forces in the court to win support, and they have to resist foreign aggression and quell internal strife on the battlefield. From the turbulent court in the capital to the smoky battlefields at the border, from the hidden sects of the Jianghu to the intricate aristocratic families, step by step the shocking conspiracy of the prime minister colluding with the enemy and treason is revealed, and the deeper secrets of the dynasty and the mystery of his life experience are gradually revealed.
This is a dual game of intelligence and force, and it is also a journey about faith, responsibility and protection. Can the two swords combine to eliminate the traitors, clarify the world, and dance together to create a beautiful country in this troubled world?
