Zanya and Tetsuya join the training camp. While Kanata tries to puzzle out the meaning of Guru Bunbuku's advice, Athora worries about their future as Buddies.

Zheng and Xin return to where Lord Changwen waits. They make ready to ride to the capital, but they'll need remarkable strategy to overcome the terrible odds. Meanwhile, in the capital, Jie Shi has raised a vast army to face the formidable Lu Buwei.

In the stronghold of the mountain folk, Zheng treats with their king, who seems determined to kill the young King of Qin in retribution for longstanding grudges. And the arrival of Xin and his companions pushes this confrontation to its crisis.

Xin sets out into the western mountains with Zheng and his handful of soldiers, seeking the aid of the mountain king. The mountain folk, though, have little liking for flatlanders, and when he meets them, King Zheng is forced to make a perilous choice.

Xin hears a tale of Piao's heroism during Wang Yi's ambush, but he also learns that King Zheng has even fewer allies than he'd been told. With little time left to forestall a civil war, Zheng decides on a dangerous path, to seek out unlikely allies.

Xin, who's vowed in the name of his own ambitions to help the King, must singlehandedly face the treacherous assassin Mu Ta. Meanwhile, General Wang Yi brings a piece of tribute to the Court that seems to spell the end for all young King Zheng's hopes.

Fleeing pursuit, Zheng and Xin struggle with exhaustion, and with each other. When they reach the appointed meeting-site, there's no sign of Zheng's sole supporter, Lord Changwen . . . and the murderous tracker Mu Ta is hot on their trail.

As the war between Qin and Zhao comes to an end, the Middle Kingdom witnesses the dawn of a new era.

The plot to slay Wang Yi takes a turn no one was expecting.

Nine years ago, Wang Yi, Lord Changwen, and Liao shared a secret with the King that altered the course of one woman's life and death.

Wang Yi and Pang Nuan begin their showdown at last. Meanwhile, Lord Changwen tells Zheng the truth about Liao.

King Ying Zheng receives some disturbing news about Zhao's forces, Diao and Meng Yi learn the true identities of their fellow spectators, and the war begins to take a new turn.

The original 100-man Fei Xin Force is down to 36 men, and Zhao's generals are closing in. However, morning has dawned, and Wang Yi is on the move.

The Fei Xin Force scatters, running deep into the mountains with Wan Ji in hot pursuit. This time they're on a self-assigned mission: protect their leader at all costs.

Pang Nuan is still unleashing the wrath of the gods on all around him, and at this point he seems almost untouchable. But this is the Fei Xin Force's camp, and they're not giving up without a fight.

Wang Yi smells something fishy about Zhao's sudden retreat, but his endgame remains the same: find and kill Pang Nuan. Xin and Qiang Lei give him a little inadvertent help.
