Synopsis
Yin Kefeng, the leader of a martial arts clan in Luoyang, has been helping the local government escort a tribute of silver to the imperial capital Kaifeng every year. However, this year, he seems to have lost his fighting prowess due to an illness. When the notorious Flying Tigers Gang learn about this, they decide to rob the convoy.
Yin Kefeng secretly seeks help from an old friend, who sends her apprentice Xiang Ding and his fiancée Yun Piaopiao to guard the convoy. Along the way, they encounter a highly-skilled swordsman Luo Yi, whom Yun Piaopiao fancies. Xiang Ding, feeling jealous, suspects that Luo Yi is with the Flying Tigers. It turns out that the gang has indeed attempted to recruit Luo Yi, who had turned down their offer.
Xiang Ding, Yun Piaopiao and Luo Yi eventually work together to defeat the gang and complete their mission, but Luo Yi dies of his wounds.
