In the fourth year of Tonghe, the war between Liao and Song Dynasty reignited.
Nineteen-year-old Yelujing - a distant relative of Hengzhang and a border patrol general - broke into the highest-level chess game of the Liao Dynasty by intercepting and killing a group of Song army scouts. Empress Dowager Xiao had been regent for four years, the young emperor had no power at the age of fourteen, the king of the North Court supported Nanjing, and Han Derang, the Privy Councilor of the South Court, was unfathomable.
The moths in the military state under the head are eating away at the foundation of the empire. The disbanded secret agent organization is reborn in the name of "Eagle Eye". A prince in exile in Bianliang is the sword hanging on the throne.
The queen mother used him as a sword, the emperor used him as an eye, and the powerful officials used him as a bridge.
But there is one thing missing from everyone's chessboard - the knife, and they also have their own ideas.
