    The world is bustling, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for gain. The rise and fall of dynasties are always driven by those vying for power, not a purely historical, unsystematic power struggle (similar to the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period).

    Chapter Six: The Hero of Zuoguo City Receives the Axe; The Twin Dragons of Pingyang County Look Down Upon the Thousand Ravines of the Taihang Mountains, Leaving Behind Like a Lurking Beast. The journey north remained arduous, but the wind and snow seemed less fierce thanks to the scroll of silk from Zuoguo City. Shi Le and his remaining troops, carrying Liu Yuan's proclamation and recruitment offer, felt as if they were carrying a burning ember, dispelling the chill in their bones. His wounds still throbbed on the bumpy horseback, but Shi Le's spine was straighter than ever. Deep within his brownish-yellow eyes lay the savagery of the carnage at the foot of Feilong Mountain, and a burning flame called "Heaven's Mandate." He was no longer a bandit leader roaming the mountains; he was the Grand General Who Assists the Han and the Prince of Pingjin, personally appointed by Liu Yuan, the King of Han! This weighty title was a shackle, but also a lever to pry open the foundations of a chaotic world! The Eighteen Riders of Feilong followed closely behind. Kui'an's deep-set eyes, like an eagle's, warily scanned the snow-covered plain; Zhi Xiong remained silent as a mountain, his imposing figure seemingly able to shield the wind and snow; the hideous scar on Tao Bao's face appeared even more ferocious in the cold wind, yet his eyes burned with a thirst for fame and fortune; Guo Heilue chanted obscure Sanskrit in a low voice, his fingers twirling a string of Buddhist beads he had picked up from some battlefield, praying for the underworld.
