In the northwest of the Republic of China, warlords fought in a melee, landlords died violently, and Mazhuang was about to fall.
Zhang Hu, a former army scout who hides his identity, started to rise as a stable boy: guarding the horse farm, seizing the salt road, and fighting warlords.
In the troubled times, he successively took in the landlord's widow, the theater beauty, and the female village owner.
One man and one horse, with all the beauties in the courtyard, emerged as a hero from the northwest.
Fighting against traitorous warlords and taking control of the Salt Horse Trade Road, among the yellow sands and Gobi deserts, downtrodden scouts rose up step by step to guard a horse farm in troubled times.
