Black Cavalry Howls to the Sky: I Guard the Sixteen Prefectures on the Northern Border

The Luo family of the Xia State has held four generations of ministers and three generations of dukes, with power towering over the realm!

Grandfather Luo Tiangang is the Grand Protector of the Nation, having carved out half of Xia State with sword and spear; father Luo Pili inherits the title of King of the North, holding autonomous control over the 16 northern border provinces; the 100,000 Black Cavalry recognize only the Luo family tiger tally, not the imperial seal; second uncle serves as Grand Commandant and controls military affairs; third uncle is Vice Minister of Rites and sets the rules of the court; fourth uncle is Grand Steward in charge of the people and civil administration. The Luo family’s influence spreads across the military, political, and civilian spheres, becoming a thorn in the imperial family’s side that they cannot get rid of.

Behind the glory, killing intent quietly surges—collateral branch descendants of the Luo family keep dying mysteriously, and only Luo Chen, the direct descendant, remains!

His father hides him in the northern army, and Luo Chen grows up amid blades and blood, surviving numerous near-death situations to become a hardened young man. But the imperial family’s knife for stripping away power is already being raised. Using the Luo family’s troubles to sow discord, they intend to reclaim the authority of the northern border; assassinations in the shadows also continue, aiming to cut off the Luo family’s line of succession.
