Xiao Che, a low-level military attaché who was guarding the Jedi Fort of Heroes in northern Xinjiang and was seriously injured but had not yet recovered, was in a desperate situation as soon as he opened his eyes. Outside the city, the iron cavalry of the Klie tribe pressed down on the city like black clouds; inside the city, food and support were exhausted, and the morale of the army was scattered. The suspicions and conspiracies in the court are quietly entangled like poisonous snakes.
Taking a step back is death, taking a step forward may save your life. Relying on his knowledge of gunpowder and bravery that surpassed his time, Xiao Che modified firearms, gathered the remaining soldiers, and with extraordinary courage, he counterattacked and defeated the enemy in front of thousands of troops, shocking the world in one battle. However, outstanding achievements have attracted deeper fear and frame-up. The whirlpool of the crown prince's and the third prince's succession involved him and his soldiers in the bloody chess game of the empire's highest power.
From adhering to the lonely fort to rushing to the aid of Shuofang, from the side of the Qing Dynasty to the calamity of the country, Xiao Che used fire and blood as his pen and ink to draw his own boundary on the map of the northern frontier of the empire. Wherever the firearms point, the captives are wiped out; where the power is directed, the structure of the temple is overturned. When the old throne collapsed and the jade seal symbolizing supreme power fled to the west, facing the supreme position within his reach and the expectations of the people in the world, Xiao Che made a choice that transcended the times——
This world should no longer be tied to one person and a country with one surname. He wants to open an unprecedented new path with the people of this world.
This is an epic about a pawn, a fission of an era, and a heroic song about survival, justice and transcendence.
Reader comments
The third chapter completes the wonderful transition from "surviving in the wilderness" to "seeking skin from a tiger". The description of the environment of the ghost market is full of camera sense, and the gray area of steaming steam and mixed fish and dragons is vividly displayed on the page. The most shocking thing is of course the test explosion at the racecourse - the loud "boom" not only stunned the guards in the book, but also seemed to explode in the readers' ears, instantly making people understand the weight of this "curious item" that can subvert the rules. Madam Su appears in a few words but her aura is full of energy. Every word of temptation and condition she makes reveals shrewdness and danger. The restraint and bottom line shown by the protagonist in the negotiation (sticking to the formula and striving for core autonomy) make people see that he is no longer a fugitive simply seeking survival, but a potential chess player with bargaining chips. The completion of the deal is not the end. Madam Su's unfathomable eyes and the condition of "exclusive agency" clearly indicate more complex bonds and crises. Fifty taels of gold and Heishuiyu Villa are hope and a new cage. People can't wait to see how the protagonist builds his first foothold on the edge of this knife.
