Introduction to "The Wild Geese Returning to Their Hometown" In the winter of the thirteenth year of the Apocalypse, while crossing the snow on the Hanjiang River, Shen Yanzhi, the son of the former Minister of Civil Affairs, traveled from the capital to Linjiang City with the obsession of overturning his father's case. When the black-topped boat was blocked by ice, he met Xiao Ce, the commander of the Zhenbei Army, for the first time - that figure in black clothes, like a lonely pine in the cold snow, became the first glimmer of light on his chaotic road ahead. After joining his father's old subordinate Zhou Mingyuan, Shen Yanzhi realized that the undercurrent in the court had spread to the south of the Yangtze River: the remnants of the Wei Party had not been eliminated, the border bandits were causing chaos, and behind his father's "corruption" injustice, there was a conspiracy to shake up the court. By chance, he met Xiao Ce again in Meiyuan. This seemingly stern general was actually willing to take action for justice. From temptation to trust, the two used secret letters as evidence and testimonies as blades to tear apart the Wei Party's facade of forging evidence step by step. They also forged a life-and-death friendship during the subsequent investigation of illicit castings in the south of the Yangtze River and the transportation of grain and grass to the northwest. From the first encounter with making tea under plum blossoms in the cold river, from the storm in the capital to the war on the border, Shen Yanzhi loses his youthfulness on the way to pursue the truth, and Xiao Ce also shows tenderness in his persistence in guarding the mountains and rivers. They are like two returning geese, with one end tied to the apocalypse of personal grievances, and the other end connected to the peace of the people of their home and country. They finally split the fog in the troubled times, allowing the old abyss to regain its clarity, and letting justice and warmth flow through the mountains and rivers with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
