The Wind Rises in Dunhuang

In the eighth year of Tianbao, Dunhuang West Market. The Sogdian Hu merchant Kangsapao suddenly died on the street, with half a black jade skull in his arms, marking the beginning of the conspiracy. County Lieutenant Lu Mingyuan thought it was just an ordinary murder case, but he didn't know that he was pushing open a door to the abyss. Ordnance subcontracting, warping painting codes, underground gunpowder depots, triple undercover puzzle... When the Tibetan army presses the border, the undercurrent in Dunhuang City surges. The thousand-year protection of the Skeleton Cult, the border chess game of the imperial court officials, and the twenty-year infiltration of Tubo's meticulous work all collided in this city that is the throat of the Silk Road. Lu Mingyuan, a former Chang'an delinquent who was exiled, must find the password to save the entire city from a corpse within ten days. But he soon discovered that with every step closer to the truth, he fell deeper into the web of lies. When all trust collapses, the only thing you can rely on is the sand and memory of Dunhuang City itself.
