The Wind Rises in Hexi

During the troubled times of the Republic of China, Zhao Youhong carried the Qin Sect's tokens and joined the Shang family's caravan in order to find the Qin Sect's secret road, fulfilling his master Qin Huai'en's dying instructions. This legendary ancient secret passage is not only related to the royal tombs guarded by the Qin clan for generations and the arms treasures hidden by Zuo Zongtang during his Western expedition, but has also become the focus of competition among various forces, including the northwest warlords, the remaining White Russian soldiers, and the Nanjing government. The Shangjia caravan was involved in this storm while transporting goods westward to Xinjiang. Along the way, they encounter a strange collusion between gangs and officers and soldiers, and in Sanyang Town, they outwit the conspiracy of the horse bandit General Zhen and the mastermind Zhou Baye. Ghosts appeared frequently and bloody battles continued. Zhao Youhong relied on his extraordinary bravery and chivalrous heart to unite Mobei Spear Queen Youji, Ground Dragon Long Tianxiao, Qinmen's orphan Qin Xiaoyue and Shulehe Qinmen's old tribe, and gradually clarified the grievances between family and country behind the secret passage. When the caravan finally found the entrance to the secret passage and Zuo Gong's treasure in the ancestral land of the Qin clan deep in the Qilian Mountains, the torrent of history pushed them to a broader stage. At this time, a well-disciplined Red Army team passed by Shangjiapu. After witnessing the benevolence and righteousness of this army, Zhao Youhong, Shang Dexiao and everyone in the Qin family resolutely made a decision: to dedicate the secret road and arms and supplies related to the national destiny to the Red Army fighting for the survival of the nation. Under the cover of the bloody western expedition of the West Route Army, a secret lifeline was opened from the Qilian Mountains to northern Shaanxi to support the Anti-Japanese War. The novel uses the desolate mountains and rivers of the northwest as a picture, depicting a group of small people in the great changes of the times, moving from the grievances of the rivers and lakes to the righteousness of the family and the country, and a generous epic of protecting the blood of the nation with their blood, faith and life.
