The Seventh Swords

Four hundred years ago, the great rebel leader, Li Zicheng, overthrew the Ming Dynasty with the help of a lowly gardener who had never handled a sword or bow. Pretending to be Li Zicheng, he would allow himself to be captured and killed. The ruse allowed Li Zicheng's forces to overthrow the Mings. The seven elite assassins that protected Li Zicheng were so moved by the gardener's bravery that they vowed to always protect and serve the gardener's heirs. They are known as the Seventh Swords.
