Knowing that Cui Lin was trapped in Han Li's house, Liu Chengfeng quickly ordered someone to carry the Cui family's military flag to negotiate. But before he could say a few words, the envoy sent by Sun Jing barged in and charged Han Li with having secretly befriended Cui Yi. Han Li was in a dilemma, so he had to invite Li Ni and Cui Lin. As soon as they went out, Li Ni and Cui Lin cooperated tacitly to break out of the siege. But Cui Lin's foot injury recurred and it was difficult to escape. Lu Chengzhi quickly explained, saying that Han Li simply invited the two of them to the front hall for a banquet and had no other intentions. Li Ni was doubtful, so he picked up Cui Lin and headed to the front hall.

The envoy of Cui Jiajun was very confused when he saw this "Master Cui", but when he saw Cui Lin's gesture, he had to swallow his doubts. Envoy Sun Jing on the side pretended to be well-intentioned and invited "Mr. Cui" to be a guest in the capital. But Li Ni didn't look at him, he only cared about Cui Lin's injury beside him. Envoy Sun Jing was naturally displeased when he was despised. He no longer wanted to be polite and started to accuse "Mr. Cui" of treason. Li Ni then raised his head and offered to perform a sword dance to entertain, and Cui Lin also accompanied him.

The sword blew up the bamboo leaves, stirred up the dust, and illuminated a dazzling light path under the sun. The cold sword crossed the light path and became more and more shining. The singing was moving, the dancing was graceful, and everyone was intoxicated. Li Ni raised his knife and lowered it, and a cold light shot straight towards Envoy Sun Jing's neck. In an instant, blood rushed out, and envoy Sun Jing fell down and died. The lively banquet was in a panic for a while, but Han Li, who was sitting at the table, remained motionless and even looked at everything in front of him with great interest. It turned out that Han Li had reached a deal with Li Ni early in the morning. As long as he killed envoy Sun Jing, Cui Lin could leave safely. Although Han Li was not a good person, he was still trustworthy and sent someone to send Cui Lin back to the Cui family's military camp. Before leaving, Cui Lin gave Li Ni a hairpin belonging to her grandmother, hoping that he would be safe and sound.

Han Lizheng was lamenting the deep love between "Mr. Cui" and He's daughter, but unexpectedly another Mr. Cui showed up. When he learned that the people in the mansion were fake, Han Li was furious and ordered his people to kill him immediately. Li Ni no longer concealed anything, and bluntly stated that pretending to be Mr. Cui was actually a sign from He's daughter. Now that He's daughter returned to the military camp, she actually abandoned herself. Seeing that Li Yi's words were true, Han Li was half convinced and half doubtful. Li Ni took advantage of the situation and suggested that he had a way to solve the urgent problem of annexing the state. The current situation was tense, and Han Li could only take a risky move, obeying the words of this "abandoned son of the Cui family" and sending people to negotiate with Pei Yuan.

Soon, Pei Yuan gave an answer and agreed to attack the Cui family army with Bingzhou in front and back to seize the batch of military rations. However, he also had a condition: he wanted to use the road to go south. Li Ni then continued to suggest that Han Li should pretend to agree to use the road. The terrain of Jianzhou was dangerous, and he could use the terrain to defeat ten of them. When the Zhenxi Army entered the Xialuo Valley, they would be able to severely damage the Zhenxi Army by attacking from both front and back. First destroy the Cui family army, and then severely damage the Zhenxi army. By then, even Sun Jing, who is far away in the capital, will be unable to do anything. Han Li's eyes shone, he admired Li Ni's strategy very much, and planned to recruit him as his staff after the victory. Li Ni took advantage of the situation and made his position clear, saying that he was willing to do whatever the dog and horse could do.

Seeing that the hairpin on Cui Lin's head was missing, Liu Chengfeng found a very similar one and gave it to her. Cui Lin was very happy, but she said bluntly that the hairpin had a special meaning to her. Even if the hairpin in her hand was the same as it, it really couldn't replace its place in her heart. At this moment, Li Yi was playing with the real hairpin in his hand, thinking about how to settle the score with Cui Lin after going out. Then, there was a huge noise outside and the war started again.
