Two Heroic Families
Description
Description
The King of the State of Northern Qi has been assassinated by the feudal lord, Gao Xionghu, who has his eye on the throne. General Xia Yunlong and his sister Yunxiang help the Qi crown prince escape to the neighbouring state of Wei so that they can seek refuge at the house of Yunlong’s fiancee, He Caifeng, and later reinstate the crown prince with Wei military support. Struck by her fiance’s handsome looks, Caifeng is willing to help him. But her brother Feihu is displeased on seeing him in dire straits, so he attempts to lead the evil King of Qi to capture the crown prince and Yunlong. The King of Wei, reluctant to make a new enemy, issues a decree that no fugitive is to enter his state. Yunxiang makes an earnest plea to Feihu. The newly widowed Feihu finds himself attracted to the beautiful Yunxiang and asks for her hand in marriage. Yunxiang feels herself duty bound to serve king and country, and agrees to become his new wife. This brings Feihu to their side, but still he needs to wait for his father’s return before making such a major decision as military deployment.
