Synopsis
A prince's shipment of gold is stolen during delivery, and 109 escorts disappear along with it. Lu Xiaofeng takes up the case and traces the lost men to a remote island held by a band of mercenaries led by Gong Jiu. On the way he meets Sha Man, a mysterious woman who draws his attention away from the investigation. When the robbery is blamed on Lu himself, he is forced to fight to clear his name against a well-organised enemy, and he gets help from his friend Ximen Chuixue in the confrontation that follows.
