Longmen Escort Agency was once the largest escort agency in the Central Plains. But as times changed, it steadily fell into decline. Tong Chengchou (played by Tong Dawei), the agency's young chief escort, takes on a lucrative job, only for the convoy to be ambushed by bandits along the way and wiped out. Facing enormous compensation claims, the agency is on the verge of bankruptcy. Lu Sanjin, the young master of the Ping'an Bank in the capital, steps forward, pays off the agency's massive debts, and buys it, becoming its new owner.
