The movie tells the Chongzhen eradication of Wei Zhongxian period, three brothers of the Jinyiwei brothers were ordered to kill Wei Zhongxian, the former director of the East Chamber, but the pursuit process is involved in a political struggle, and ultimately only the second brother of the three Shen Lian a person survived.
Although the movie is a martial arts film, it has added a lot of love for children, which adds a bit of tenderness to the movie.
In my opinion, these three jinyiwei themselves are the eagle dogs of the upper class, usually killing innocents and doing a lot of evil, and eventually become crushed ants in the political struggle of the upper class, which is not worthy of sympathy, and it is considered to be the blame, and what goes around comes around.
