The story follows Xiao Ping Jing, a student of Langya Hall who investigates the death of his brother. The plot is framed after the original in some ways given that it also talks about a family of great warriors that fall due to a conspiracy. In this timeframe, the political climate in the Great Liang Dynasty has stabilized, but the threats of war remain. Because the Liang King is sickly, Empress Xun and her brother Xun Bai Shui are able to plot against the Changlin Army, causing much trouble for the brothers Xiao Ping Zhang and Xiao Ping Jing as they find themselves having to fight a battle that's not only on the battlefield but also in the equally deadly field of politics. It's a story that should take up much of the drama before it takes another turn and begins to focus on Xiao Ping Jing, the younger son of the Xiao family who must continue to fight against those who seek the destruction of his family and the nation. After the death of the Liang King, Xiao Yuan Qi gains control of the military with the help of Xun Bai Shui and it is up to Xiao Ping Jing to stop them.—DramaPanda
