Briefly about the events of the previous season
Donghua is set during the transition period between the Sui and Tang dynasties in ancient China and centers on a highly skilled mercenary, a skilled swordsman with a strong sense of honor - Dao Ma. He is a warrior-for-hire from the Excort and takes on missions to capture, eliminate, or escort targets for money.
In the last years of Sui's reign, the situation in China worsened, civil unrest grew, and the top government increasingly used fear and terror to control the people. Dao Ma finds himself at the epicenter of popular unrest, intrigue and bloody battles.
The story starts with a man receiving an order to capture the criminal Drughead Snake for 6000 coins. In the course of carrying out this assignment, unexpected circumstances emerge related to government official Chisha Chan Giren. Later in Mo Dao, Ma meets the mysterious figure Zhi Shilan and undertakes to escort him to Chang'an.
