After the collapse of the late Qing Dynasty and the early establishment of the Republic of China, warlords, foreign powers, gangs and politicians jointly tore apart a disordered China.
Wang Yaqiao, who was born in rural Anhui Province, joined the revolution in his early years. Later, he established himself in Shanghai, organized workers from Anhui, and used his ax to protect the oppressed, thus establishing a secret force that made the powerful and powerful people change their minds. From assassinating important warlords to planning the assassination of Chiang Kai-shek at Lushan Mountain and the assassination of the Song Dynasty at North Station; from supporting the Songhu Anti-Japanese War to being involved in the Hongkou Park explosion and assassination of Wang, he tried to change the times with bullets and explosives again and again.
He is righteous and strong, and dares to show his sword to invaders and powerful people; he is also impulsive, extreme, superstitious about personal violence, and even makes innocent people pay their lives for his mistakes. When Dai Li, an old acquaintance of the past, became a master hunter in the Kuomintang intelligence system, a large web of surveillance, arrest, family affection and betrayal gradually tightened around him.
In 1936, Wang Yaqiao, who planned to go north to find a way out to resist Japan, was lured into an ambush in Wuzhou, Guangxi, and eventually died in the method he was most familiar with - assassination.
