Liaoyuan Huo, in the guise of Zhao Huo, has been given a post in the Xiliang army guarding the gate. The spies from Guandong, however, overpower the gate guards and force them to take them into the city. One of the spies, a young woman named Sun Shu, forces Huo to accompany her. On the way, however, Hua Xiong, one of Dong Zhuo's officers, catches on to their plan. The leader of the squad, Huang Gai, challenges him. In the chaos, Sun Shu manages to escape, dragging Huo along, but accidentally runs into a dead end.
