Plot summary

The story is set in eighth-century China during the Tang dynasty. Dou Lingkan, an outlaw leader, and his godson, Tie Mole, are passing through a town when they overhear a commotion. They realise that Wang Longke, a servant of the military governor An Lushan, is planning to steal a letter from a messenger sent by the general Guo Ziyi.
