     When night came everybody was having fun and drinking wine because it's Yunlan's birthday.

     As Shen Wei is always at Yunlan side clinging to his shoulder and kissing his cheek. Yunlan blushed nervously on him. It's like a dream come true for Yunlan having someone very special on his side and loving him for who he is. As Shen Wei gave him the jewels that he thought was left in Jonseon. "Never lost it! Your always be my wife!" As he kiss Yunlan passionately. He thought his happiness would never be over until the next day came. When Yezun needed Shen Wei help for a mission. Yunlan oblige that Shen Wei can go there. He didn't know it was a trap.

     As half day pass, when Yezun and Shen Wei was about to go home and already for they have finish their mission.As they were riding their horses on the mountain side. Suddenly they were ambush by the Tang soldiers as rains of arrows descendent on them and  the one whose  leading was Xin xin the eldest brother of Yunlan.

     At home, as Yunlan grooming his horse suddenly his bracelet came off and fell on the ground. As he took it he felt something happened to Shen Wei. He suddenly call Da quing. "Do you know where's Yezun mission is?" As they mount their horse and ride toward it. But they didn't got to go any distance when suddenly Tang soldiers came as  Yunlan have no choice but to fight the soldiers with the few men who Shen Wei left for him. But there's to many of them. As in the end Yunlan was captured again.  Luckily Da quing and the others have escape. As Yunlan saw his brother Yang, "We miss you little brother! And father want to thank you for the gift you gave to him!"

     As Yunlan was sent to the castle and present to the Emperor and to his father the General. Xin ci can't help himself but to slapped Yunlan infront of the court. "You disappoint me!" As he slapped him again. Suddenly he throw a jade pendant to Yunlan. Yunlan eyes went wide as he took the pendant. "That's right! It's Shen Wei's pendant! He is finished Yunlan! His dead body hang in the mountains now Yunlan! Xin xin kill him for you!" His father shout. Yunlan suddenly shout to his father that made everyone frighten to him. As he want to clobber his father he  can't reach him. Because he was chain in his wrist and his ankle, as guards holding him into it. "Why did you do this to me! I became an obedient son to you and done everything you ask! Shen Wei is the only little joy I have and you killed him!" As he cried infront of the Emperor, his father and the whole court. The Emperor take pity on him and was sent in prison with no bail.

     A few days later, one of the minister came, he was Minister Quincheng. "So, your the black sheep son of Xin ci?" As a weary Yunlan look at him. "If I were you, I won't die in this miserable cell! Do you want revenge on the people who hurt you?!" As Yunlan nod to him. "Then pledge your loyalty to me and together we will build a new country!" As Minister Quincheng smile at him.

     That time Minister Quincheng family is against the Emperor and will do anything to take him down.
Bribing officials just to be at his side, building an allied force against the Emperor, becoming richer than him and most of all building a larger army against the Emperor. He trained Yunlan to be the best General than his father and gave him a hundred soldiers to follow him. As the Quincheng family becoming powerful each day. Yunlan's heart becoming hard as stone, their armies name is "The Black Dragon." As Minister Quincheng order Yunlan to slaughter a  political family, he will obey his every command.

     While in the mountains, Xin xin never knew that Shen Wei and Yezun had live. He taught they have killed them as both of them fall on the cliff. As he saw the pendant of Shen Wei and gave this to his father, a gift for Yunlan. Once Shen Wei and Yezun heal their words. They descended into the mountains abd went back to their clan, but they were shocked as all of them were gone including Yunlan.  As Shen Wei saw the jewel bracelet lying on the floor. "I will get my wife no matter what!" As he furiously say.

     In the palace the Emperor is getting worried, as he heard words that his allied forces is being killed one by one, by a certain black army that has a dark dragon attached to it's flag. His thinking that minister Quincheng is behind this, but they don't have a proof. As he talk to his General Xin ci, to give an army for their allied forces. General Xin ci, send his three sons to lead the army in fighting the unknown army whose killing the Emperor's clan.

     While Shen Wei and Yezun came to the city as disguise as a merchants. While selling silk and garments, they tried to find news on what happened to Yunlan and the others. They just heard from one of the merchant that the General son was sentence to jail as the others they don't know what happened. When night came, they went to a certain bar. Yezun and Shen Wei saw Da quing and the others.  Da quing was surprised in seeing them their alive. And he can't help to kiss Yezun passionately. "What happened to Yunlan?!" Shen Wei ask quickly. "His been jail for days by the Emperor, but we heard from one of the guards  that Yunlan is been recruit by a political family but they don't know who. As Yezun got an idea.  "Their gonna be a mask feast here, many political family will coming to the city, we can get information there. As all of them agree they will come to the feast.

     While Xin xin was guarding a very important officials. The Dark Dragon came with his army. "So we meet at last!" He said. As he call his army and charge Yunlan. He never knew, Yunlan have already surrounded them. While they were charging at the front,  at the back of them emerge more dark soldiers. As Yunlan command everyone of them to be slaughtered.  Xin xin never knew what is happening as he turned around, Yunlan slice off his head. Before his head fall he stare at the General dark brown eyes while he notice, hanging on his waist band  the jade phoenix pendant of Shen Wei. As his head fall on the ground. The Dark Dragon General smirk at him.
