Qin Zhan, bearing a bloody injustice, fought his way out of the death row camp and counterattacked with blood all the way; Jiang Yao hid for ten years, using wisdom as a blade, hoping to overthrow the entire rotten military and political system. When a violent war spirit meets a cold-blooded mastermind, when an old medical officer holds the secret files of life and death, and when an old soldier ignites the border beacons in anger, a bloody liquidation spanning the north and the south quietly begins. They do not want to be appointed commanders, but to live and nail the truth into the annals of history.
Qin Zhan rescued Liu Yuan, who was seriously injured in the black market in the north, and accidentally triggered the ordnance ledger she had hidden, leading to Jiang Yao's undercover pursuit. Shi Meng led the remnants of his troops to rob official grain, but was tracked down by Xiao Huaijin. The two sides met on a narrow road in the snow mountain pass. Qin Zhan exposed his identity to save Liu Yuan, which led to the encirclement and suppression of Wu Gudu. Jiang Yao took the opportunity to join the army in the name of "quelling the chaos", but in fact he planned a cleansing chess game, hoping to use Qin Zhan's hands to kill the general and then silence him to avoid future troubles. Liu Yuan discovered that Jiang Yao had secretly poisoned the surviving military households who participated in the massacre, and was determined to destroy the antidote to counterattack. Shi Meng wanted to lead a crowd to raid the capital and force the court to admit his injustice in person. However, he was attacked by Wu Gudu and cut off his escape. Qin Zhan broke into Di Camp alone to save him and stole the Blood Eagle Order. In the end, Xiao Huaijin brought the account books to Beijing, but was surrounded and killed by important officials in the court. Before his death, he handed the evidence to Liu Yuan. Qin Zhan ordered eighteen tribes to force the palace with the Blood Eagle Order. During the confrontation in front of the emperor, Jiang Yao's identity was revealed. At the critical moment, Qin Zhan drew his sword - instead of killing the enemy, he cut off the official seal and declared: 'I, Qin Zhan, do not seek to be appointed commander, but only want a living person who can speak human words. ' The war on the border has not yet extinguished, and the Beidi cavalry are gathering to go south. The last prescription in Liu Yuan's arms reads: 'The real poison never comes from the enemy. '
