When Zhu Wen usurped the Tang Dynasty at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Privy Council envoy Jiang Xuanhui's nephew Anli and his son Jiang Tie were entrusted by the Empress Dowager He to escort the palace maids A Qian and A Qiu who were pregnant with dragon heirs and the Empress Dowager's nieces He Mei and He Meng by land and water to escape south.
Anli led his troops to collect the refugees through Xinye, welcomed the dragon heirs in Yicheng, fought against the powerful in Jiangzhou, and established "Anzhuang" in the Hongzhou oasis. Jiang Tie led He Mei and He Meng to the south via the waterway. On the way, he massacred Zhu Wen's old house and kidnapped his daughter Ning Zhen, and finally settled in Hangzhou.
The novel takes escape in troubled times as the main line, interweaves the individual's choice between loyalty and survival, and uses the process of Anli and others to protect the bloodline of the Tang Dynasty and build a safe place to live. It shows the suffering of people's livelihood and the pursuit of peace in the melee of feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty, as well as the struggle of human nature and the tenacity of civilization.
This is a magnificent, exquisitely conceived, and profound historical legend. It successfully places personal destiny in the turmoil of the great era, and uses superb narrative skills and deep humanistic care to depict a magnificent picture of blood and fire, love and justice, despair and hope intertwined in the late Tang and Five Dynasties. The works have outstanding pursuits and achievements in literary, ideological and artistic aspects, and are particularly outstanding in creating a historical atmosphere, depicting complex human nature, and exploring morality in troubled times. Its overall artistic charm, ideological weight and unique aesthetic value deserve high recognition. For readers who love historical novels, chivalrous romances, and classical literature, this is a highly attractive and memorable masterpiece.
