Lao Lan River has eighteen bends, and the first bend is Silver Pine Beach. In Silver Pine Beach...

As the powerful folk songs echoed, the scouts of the Western Garrison, led by General Li Ni, shouted for their comrades to come and eat the bread. The relief officers who came off duty wolfed down the bread with water. General Li Ni, who arrived late, scolded Old Bao for stealing his craft and the best flour he had sent for the 17th Prince. Old Bao didn't deny it, stating that he had just taken a little, and the 17th Prince had said that they would share both hardships and good fortune.

While they were talking, there was a sudden sharp scream from outside the city, and everyone tensed up and rushed to guard the city walls. Xie Zhanger, who was also a scout, jumped up and then crouched on the ground like a mantis, carefully listening to the sounds of the earth. In just a short while, he sensed something and signaled to Li Ni. Li Ni set aside his bread, tightened his grip on a bow and arrow, and kept his eyes fixed on the approaching group of people and horses. The arrow was on the string, but before anyone could react, someone hastily shouted that the newcomers were not enemies but General Pei Xian of the Western Garrison.

Li Ni put away his bow and arrow and went out to greet him. Pei Xian bowed to the 17th Prince Li Ni and reported that His Majesty had been harmed by Sun Jing at the Wan Shou Banquet on the sixth day of the sixth month. Now the rebels had taken over the palace and were slaughtering the city, and the Crown Prince had also died for the country. All the princes, their heirs, and countless princesses and concubines had been killed or injured. General Yun Chang, Han, had escorted the Crown Prince out of the siege but was dispersed outside the city by the rebel forces, and his fate was unknown. Li Ni's father, Lord Liang, was taken hostage and imprisoned in the Lord Liang's mansion. Now, the entire royal family had only the line of Lord Liang, and only Li Ni could shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring order.

Li Ni only wanted to enjoy himself at Lao Lan Pass and hadn't paid attention to palace affairs for a long time. But now, the Great Yu Kingdom was in turmoil, and he couldn't just enjoy himself without a care. The Western Garrison marched towards the palace, but their supplies were running low. To get enough food for his troops, Li Ni planned to capture the food merchant Pi Silang with Pei Yuan. However, to their surprise, there was another group of people also targeting Pi Silang.

Both Li Ni and Cui Lin intended to take action against Pi Silang at the same time. However, they heard a commotion outside the door, so they had no choice but to jump into the bathhouse to hide. Without knowing each other's backgrounds, they ended up fighting each other in the water. Eventually, they were both discovered. Fortunately, Li Ni was quick-witted and lied, claiming that he had entered the wrong room with his lover, allowing them to escape before Sun Jing's subordinates arrived. Once they were safe, the two of them fought again, with their martial skills being evenly matched. However, they both managed to take something from each other during the fight.

Afterward, both sides began to wonder who the other person really was. In Cui Lin's eyes, the Li family had never been skilled in martial arts, let alone produced a man who could match her evenly in combat. On the other hand, Li Ni deduced that Cui Lin was from the Cui family based on an arrow she left behind. Now, the Cui family was also claiming to support the loyalists and heading towards the palace, so the realm was divided into three factions.

Late at night, Cui Lin had originally intended to take a bath, but she unexpectedly encountered Li Ni again. Cui Lin wanted to leave, but her clothes were caught, causing a disturbance. Li Ni sensed something was amiss and sent a bamboo pole towards the source of the noise. Once again, they engaged in combat. Cui Lin momentarily lost focus and was nearly captured by Li Ni. She hurriedly spoke up, revealing that she knew the whereabouts of the Crown Prince. Li Ni believed her and tried to help her up, but he was wounded by her hidden weapon and fell into a well.

Since Pi Silang was under house arrest by Sun Jing, Li Ni decided to use a ruse to gain access to him, claiming that he was sent by Lady Pi to escort Pi Silang. This ploy worked, but Pi Silang's identifying token was already missing. Li Ni realized that the Cui family had sabotaged their plan. It appeared that, at this moment, the Cui family had disguised themselves as the guards of Wangzhou and openly entered the city to obtain supplies. Li Ni remained calm and decided to hold Wangzhou City until Cui Lin was chased by Guo Zhi for negotiation. Indeed, as he had suspected, the Cui family's army had arrived too early.
