Xiang Yunkai Helps Wei Qing Sweep Away the Xiongnu

After Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, took his own life at the Wu River, the surviving members of his clan refused to bow to the new Han order and adopt the Liu surname. Instead, they fled deep into the secluded forests of the Ziwu Mountains in the remote north, quietly biding their time for a chance to rise again. But when their hiding place was betrayed—by whom, no one knows—more than a thousand clansmen set out for Shuofang to take up arms against the Xiongnu. The road from Ziwu Ridge to Shuofang stretched nearly thirteen hundred Han li, and every step of the journey was fraught with hardship and peril. Along the way, Xiang Yunkai discovers that the jade he wears is tied to the long-lost treasure of the ancient Kingdom of Yiqu from centuries past. Then a chance encounter leads him to unwittingly uncover a cache of treasure and weaponry buried a hundred years earlier by General Meng Tian of the Qin dynasty to defend the frontier. And in Shuofang itself, even greater surprises are waiting for them...
