"The Sword Hidden in the Ink" tells the story of the espionage war between the Song, Liao and Xixia kingdoms from the first year of Jingde (1004) to the seventh year of Jingde (1010). In real history, after the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance, the two countries of Song and Liao ushered in a century-long peace. Although there are occasional frictions between the three countries, they have generally maintained a relatively stable situation. However, behind this peace, there are countless unknown heroes like Shen Yanzhi, Su Heng, and Lin Wan, who worked silently on the invisible battlefield and even gave their lives. They did not leave their names and received no meritorious service, but their sacrifices brought peace and contentment to the people and long-term peace and stability of the country.
——The ink on the covenant paper hides the real killing plan. And those blades hidden in the dark are the best portrayal of these unknown heroes.
This book is dedicated to those who guard the light in the darkness.
