In their escape, they met a group of former soldiers who were under the command of general Yuan ChongHuan. Yuan ChongHuan had been put to death by the Emperor unjustly and his men wanted to avenge his death. Li ZiCheng had sent an envoy to meet these men in hope that they will aid his rebellion against the emperor. This effectively sets the historical backdrop of the story and introduces Yuan ChengZhi, Yuan ChongHuan’s son and hero of the story, as a young teenager with basic martial arts skills but with great potential.
