The Flying Knife of Death

During the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty, Huang Tianba rebelled against the Green Forest. He was rewarded by the emperor with a gold plaque for secretly eliminating the clever villain Dou Ertun. Huang Tianba was quite surprised by this honor and organized a family banquet to celebrate. During the feast, three flying daggers were hurled from above towards Huang Tianba. Quick-witted and agile, Huang Tianba caught the daggers with his hands and teeth. Suddenly, a chivalrous figure broke through the encirclement with exceptional martial arts skills. Once his shock settled, Huang Tianba looked at the daggers in his hand and noticed the character 'Dou' engraved on them, realizing the connection. The chivalrous figure was none other than Dou Jinlian, who disguised herself as a man to seek revenge for her brother's death. The next day, there was a crowd in the market. He Lutong, a bodyguard from the Huang family, came looking for Dou Jinlian with soldiers and brutally killed a storyteller. Seeing the injustice, Du Jinlian drew her sword to help, and although she had the support of her senior brother Fang Yong, she soon found herself at a disadvantage. Hidden in a teahouse, Dou Jinlian used her flying dagger skills to rescue them. Dou Jinlian's father, Du Tianpeng, and Dou Ertun were sworn brothers who had been killed by Huang Tianba. This time, she also sought revenge on Huang Tianba. Upon returning to the mountain stronghold, the new leader, Hao Sanshi, punished her with 40 strokes for descending the mountain without permission to uphold the rules, and Dou Jinlian willingly accepted the punishment. One day, Hao Sanshi sent someone to call her, saying that three righteous heroes had come to join her.
