The Lone Banner

Of the seven sons of the Duke of Dingguo in the Yu dynasty, six died in battle. Only the spoiled youngest son, Chen Ye, remained, racing through the capital with the Ninth Prince, oblivious to the flames of war.

The family’s loyal warriors were wiped out. When the Xiongnu invaded, the Duke of Dingguo’s entire army was destroyed. Chen Ye inherited the title in a crisis and led thirty thousand elite troops back to the frontier.

His cavalry trampled Langjuxu Mountain, and just as the Xiongnu royal court was about to fall, a hidden enemy cut off their retreat. Thirty thousand elite troops were left bloodied in the northern desert!

The court condemned them, and the entire Duke of Dingguo’s household was slaughtered while being exiled.

Old friends were scattered and lost. The Ninth Prince was falsely accused of treason and imprisoned deep within the palace.

Changning wept blood.
