Introduction
The beacon fire at the border gate illuminated the night. Zhao Wujiu crawled among the corpses dragging his broken gun. The jade seal fragment in his arms suddenly became hot - this was the third time he saved his life. As the last surviving soldier, he fled south with his seriously injured sister, but he didn't know that what he picked up was a fragment of the imperial seal that could shake up the world.
When the barbarian cavalry trampled the mountains and rivers with their iron hooves, and when the Jiedushi envoys were ruling the roost, this illiterate pawn relied on the ability of the jade seal to predict good and bad luck, and he rose from being a handyman in the grain transport team to being the commander of the personal soldiers. He rescued a Han woman who was trafficked and met the children of a down-and-out aristocratic family. When the three of them swore a blood oath, how could they have thought that in the future one would become the wife of the Jiedushi who poisoned her husband, and the other would shoot through his armor with a crossbow arrow.
From the recruitment of refugees to the separatism of the three states, Zhao Wujiu kept losing money on the road to power: his sister secretly jumped off a cliff to protect the jade seal, the sworn brothers organized a Hongmen Banquet for military power, and the singer he loved so much turned out to be a spy from an enemy country. On the day when the jade seal fragments were finally collected, the premonition showed that his most trusted adviser was poisoning the tea...
This is an era of cannibalism. Either you become a swordsman or you become a fish. Zhao Wujiu chose to hold the jade seal, and in the chaos intertwined between Hu and Han, he carved an unprecedented path to supremacy.
