It is the eighth year of the Jinghtai Era during the Ming dynasty (1457 A.D.) and powerful eunuchs have taken over the Chinese government. The country's two most important agencies are the Eastern Agency and Imperial Guards.

The leader of the Eastern Agency, Zhao Shao Qin, executes the supposedly corrupt Minister of Defense, Yu Qian, and publicly announces that his children will be exiled at the remote outpost Dragon Inn.

Convinced that Xiao Shaozi and the Zhu brothers have been sent to save Yu Qian's children, the assassins decide to eliminate them as quickly as possible.
