Long River Night

My brother became my worst enemy. He Chuan never dreamed that Gu Linyuan, the boy who grew up fighting with him on the docks, would one day stand on his opposite side and want to drag Datang, who he was loyal to, to be buried with him. He was originally a small role in the Jishui Gang, and he just wanted to protect the people around him and live a stable life. But because he offended the powerful, he was forced to leave his hometown and struggled to survive in Chang'an, the heart of the empire. He got acquainted with Gao Shi, a master of poetry and swordsmanship, met a beauty who brought betrayal and redemption, received guidance from a hidden master, and single-handedly built his own power network, named "Chang'an Jiaolong". However, behind the prosperity of the prosperous times, the feudal towns were divided and undercurrents surged. When An Lushan's iron hoof trampled the mountains and rivers, and when the respected gang leader was killed by the corrupt system, his brother Gu Linyuan completely despaired of the world and chose an extreme path of "breaking down and then building up". On one side are the people of the country who swore to protect the country to the death, and on the other side are the brothers who were willing to trust each other with their lives. How should he make a choice in this storm sweeping the world? Can this broken ship of the empire sail through the long night and usher in a new dawn?
