Beyond Yanmen Pass, a broken arrow sealed their oath.
To stop the Liao army from advancing south, the great hero Qiao Feng plunged a broken arrow into his own chest, staining the yellow sands with blood. He thought that the grudges between the Khitan and Song dynasties, and the regret of having promised to return to the frontier only to find its cattle and sheep gone, had all faded away with the wind.
Little did he know that after a dreamlike sleep, more than a hundred years had passed in the world.
When he opened his eyes again, it was the end of the Southern Song. He had been reborn as a low-ranking Beggar Gang disciple, dressed in rags and reduced to living on the streets.
Feeling the faint pulse in his chest and seeing the unfamiliar face reflected in the water, Qiao Feng was first bewildered, then threw back his head and laughed, until tears streamed from his eyes.
No wolf-head tattoo on his chest. No burden of Khitan blood.
In this life, at last, he was truly and unequivocally a Han Chinese!
By now, the Liao dynasty had fallen, the Song dynasty clung to its corner of the realm, and Mongol cavalry stood at the gates of Xiangyang.
By now, the Beggar Gang's Dog-Beating Staff Technique had declined, the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms were incomplete, and the once-greatest gang under heaven was gradually falling into decline.
“Since Heaven has granted Qiao a second life, and I was born a son of the Han...”
The writing is pretty good, but I don't know if the author has a good idea of the protagonist's future path? If you haven't thought about it well, I can give you a direction. The Song Dynasty in this period is hopeless. The protagonist can be the emperor himself, create the Ming Dynasty, be the Hongwu Emperor, and Qiao Feng be the emperor. I am not surprised at all. After all, Hu Jun has played both Zhu Yuanzhang and Qiao Feng.
I feel like the personalities of Qiao Feng and Yang Guo actually don't match at all. Yang Guo is evil and arrogant.
I've read more than a dozen chapters, and it's pretty good. I came here specifically to help.
Not bad, looking forward to the follow-up.
