The Man in the Game of Yitian

Li Mu, the general of Zhenbei, has guarded the border for ten years. He has ridden barbarians on the outside and kept the people safe inside. His achievements are unparalleled. The emperor summoned him back to the capital to be crowned king with an imperial edict, which was clearly a favor but concealed murderous intent. Above the court, the imperial censor set up a trap; beyond the border, mysterious forces massacred the village. Overnight, Li Mu was reduced from a minister of the state to a prisoner and a commoner. On his way back home, he was intercepted and killed by "horse bandits". He and his wife were both stained with blood in Black Wind Ridge. The eldest son Li Mo was ordered to welcome the spirit, but he fell into a trap in Jeju. Two hundred personal guards were wiped out, and he was stabbed in the face. He desperately fled into the grassland, but was rescued by a foreign princess. From then on, he lived in anonymity and lived in confusion. The second son, Li Zhuo, survived falling off a cliff and was rescued by Su Wanlan, the master of Yitian Pavilion. Together with Xie Jiu, the only survivor of the Qingfeng Village massacre, he practiced martial arts in the Wangchuan Valley. Ten years later, Li Zhuo entered the court under a pseudonym and stirred up the situation with his strategies; Xie Jiu traveled around the world and used intelligence to build a skynet; Li Mo dormant in the grasslands for ten years, and finally led his cavalry south for revenge. The brothers joined forces and worked step by step to knock down the ignorant king and traitorous ministers one by one. However, when their enemies were defeated and a new dynasty was established, they discovered that they had never been the ones playing chess. From beginning to end, they were just pawns in someone else's game.
