Changfeng Enters the Pass

A wind blows from the west of the river. Twelve empty boxes and a strange escort whose purpose no one knows pushes Shen Yanzhou, the small accountant of Guiyan Escort Bureau in Liangzhou, into a world he never thought of setting foot in. He is good at memorizing routes and calculating accounts accurately. He seems to have no martial arts skills, but he can always recognize old posts, beacons and military signals that others have never seen before in the most dangerous moments. As he traveled westward, he gradually discovered that he was no ordinary orphan, but a child who escaped from Guyan City, a military town that completely disappeared from the map nineteen years ago. What he couldn't accept even more was that Shen Ce, the general who was considered by the world to have opened the city with his own hands and collaborated with the enemy in rebellion, was his father. The female doctor Su Zheyue who was traveling with her was also full of secrets. She seems to be just a herbal medicine merchant traveling to the Western Regions, but she has an inseparable relationship with the nine-surname business alliance across Hexi and the Western Regions. Her mother, who died young, was also involved in the past events of Guyan City's last night. Twelve empty boxes, twelve wind lamp stations, seventy-two wells, and twenty-four warehouses, a set of secrets called the "West Key" gradually surfaced. Imperial spies, border troops, merchant alliances, tribes and the survivors of the isolated city all joined the game. When the traitor from nineteen years ago is still alive, and when the so-called official history is just a carefully woven lie, what Shen Yanzhou finally has to face is not just the old debt left by his father's generation. What he wants to answer is—— Who should belong to these thousands of miles of mountains, this road that feeds countless people?
