A Fake Jade Seal from the Start: I Am Later Tang's Most Wanted Fugitive

[Late Tang / Five Dynasties] [Meticulously researched historical fiction] [Political intrigue and fiery action] [Decisive and ruthless] [The Canal Gang's turbulent world] [No System] [No transmigration] On the night the Last Emperor of Later Tang burned himself to death, a jade seal symbolizing the “Mandate of Heaven” mysteriously vanished amid flames and bloodshed. Gongliang Yi, a young commander of the Crane Control Army, and Shen Guan, a stubborn palace official in charge of seals and treasures, became the center of this earth-shattering upheaval. Carrying the genuine seal, the two were forced into a life-or-death alliance as fugitives, fleeing east while pursued relentlessly by the Shatuo rebel general Yao Yanchou and Zhao Hongjing, a ruthless agent of the Martial Virtue Bureau.

Their escape was full of twists and dangers. They had to navigate Luoyang and the shifting warlord territories amid the transition from the old regime to the new, while also becoming entangled in infighting among the underworld gangs controlling river transport. The Mandate of Heaven had shifted, and death stalked the land for a thousand miles! How could a low-ranking commander carry the Imperial Seal and carve out a blood-soaked escape route for the symbol of Chinese civilization, caught between mighty warlords and barbarian invaders???
