Plot summary
Four years after General Yue Fei's death, Grand Chancellor Qin Hui prepares to meet delegates from the Jin Dynasty. The Jin envoy is murdered at his residence and the letter he was carrying goes missing. The envoy's guards are rounded up and face execution when Zhang Da, a soldier with no rank, says he knows of an item found at the scene. Zhang Da is brought before Qin Hui, who fears the letter will show him to be a traitor, and is given two hours to recover it. Sun Jun, the battalion's deputy commander and Zhang Da's uncle, is assigned to assist him, though he despises his nephew. Qin Hui tells his general manager, He Li, that the two men are to be killed whether or not they find the letter.
