In the autumn of 1870, the eldest brother Pang Qingyun, dressed in an official uniform, overlooked his inauguration stage from the top of the city wall; full of ideals and ambitions, if he did not embark on this road of no return, he would most likely overthrow the corrupt Qing court. One of the revolutionaries of New China, he created a great career and has a long history. Unfortunately, two robbers and a woman changed his life, created his success, and also led to his final destruction. The two robbers are sworn brothers with whom he has vowed to live and die: the second brother Zhao Erhuand the third brother Jiang Wuyang, and that woman is the second brother's wife Lian Sheng.
