The late emperor's edict hid mysteries. Jun Anlin, a young general who holds the military power in the capital, is ordered to join forces with Wang Linyan, a man of a different surname and a highly accomplished figure, to thoroughly investigate old cases of collaboration involving the royal family.
In the court, aristocratic families and poor families are at odds with each other, and the emperor uses cases to check and balance military power; on the border, the vassal king is ready to take action, and spies are all over the capital.
He is an iron-blooded general who is bloody on the battlefield, protecting the peace of his family and country with his sword; he is a far-sighted king with a different surname, who uses his wisdom to stabilize the situation in the court.
The open and hidden arrows are attacking, one of them is cutting the bloody path in front of the battle, and the other is plotting to break the situation behind the scenes; they are "wary" of each other in the emperor's chess game, but at the critical moment of life and death, they are willing to bet their entire clan's lives for each other -
"You guard the border, and I will guard the court. In this world, both are indispensable."
Power and strategy are the bones, and military power is the blade. They not only want to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, but also protect each other's foundation.
Intention: In a chess game in troubled times, knowing one's friends is the chess game, seeking the world, and thinking about side by side.
