Las tres estrellas de la calamidad, 2

A reunion marked by duty, desire, and the price of loyalty. Four years have passed since Chang Geng and Gu Yun went their separate ways after a bitter dispute. In that time, fate has tested them: Chang Geng, a wanderer, has learned from various masters as he travels the world; Gu Yun, on the other hand, remains on the fringes of the Silk Road. Under Emperor Longan, Daliang teeters on the brink. Economic woes are compounded by Prince Wei's rebellion and the dreaded "Mastery Law," which restricts the power of independent gunsmiths. The "Order of the Rumble of the March" seeks to subdue the military, but only succeeds in stoking resentment within the armies. Amid the chaos, a new conflict erupts between southern soldiers, mountain bandits, and Gu Yun's troops, revealing an even greater danger: the smuggling of ziliujin, the substance that sustains the empire's power. Amidst wars, betrayals, and old wounds, Chang Geng and Gu Yun meet again. What time could not extinguish, distance only deepened. But as the emperor succumbs to paranoia and the kingdom descends into uncertainty, Gu Yun is imprisoned.
