In the City That Never Sleeps for Thousands of Miles, Corpse Fire Shines on Shengjing

In March of the ninth year of Yong'an in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty in the north marched southward with an army of 500,000 men. In just half a year, they conquered Youzhou and Bingzhou, and their troops reached Chang'an, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. At the critical moment, Emperor Wu An had no choice but to use the down-and-out Duke Li Xuance and order him to lead an army of 300,000 people to march north to defend against the enemy. Li Xuance's son Li Ning served as the vanguard, but was seriously injured in a battle with Qing general Ao Bai in Bingzhou. No one knew that Li Ning, who was recovering from serious injuries, had his body taken over by a college student of the same name from the 21st century. After his rebirth, Li Ning developed a flintlock gun in the rear and established and equipped the "Shenji Battalion". In June of the 11th year of Yong'an, 50,000 soldiers from the Shenji Battalion went north, turning the tide of the war in one fell swoop and defeating the Qing army. However, the victory did not bring stability, but instead made the emperor's suspicion of the Li family reach its peak. He listened to the slander of the sycophant Wu Yanlong, and actually negotiated peace with the Qing State at the cost of becoming a minister, paying an annual payment of five million taels, and sending Princess Yongle for marriage. He also collaborated with the Qing State to set up a trap to have Li Xuance killed. Prince Wu Sansi also took the opportunity to seize control of Li Ning's Shenji Camp. The Zhenguo Palace fell into decline, and even if Li Ning inherited the title, he still could not escape the emperor's suspicion. In order to completely eradicate the Li family, the emperor ordered Li Ning to serve as a messenger to escort Princess Yong'an to the Qing Dynasty for marriage - hoping to use the hands of the Qing Dynasty to silence Li Ning. At this time, in order to counter the firearms of the Great Zhou Shenji Camp, the Qing Dynasty secretly asked the national teacher Nalan Xingde to develop methods to counter the firearms. Nalan Xingde looked through ancient books and found that a long time ago in the previous dynasty, a corpse in an ancient tomb was resurrected and was invulnerable. This inspired Nalan Xingde, so he led an army to search for the ancient tomb where the corpse was resurrected.
