The Tunru siege has finally started as the Bishintai and the Wall Army join forces. Because the role of Feixintai this time is to be quick, military strategist Kawaradiao sends Nobu and Qiangqiang, who are superior in strength, together to Chengyeong.
On the other hand, Seiryoujiao, who is imprisoned in a prison by a ruse and who learns from Gaman, the acting lord of the castle, how the rebellion came about, rescues Rui, who is imprisoned in another prison, and plots his escape to stop Gaman's ambition.
