Ultimately, King of Su State Xiang Yi was persuaded, but from then on, there was a great rift between him and his strategist, Ping Qingji.
Ping Qingji knew that Xiang Yi was displeased with him and began to plan his own way out, but he never expected that Xiang Yi had murderous intent towards him!
When a cup of poisoned wine was placed before Ping Qingji, he was greatly disappointed. Outside, he was heavily surrounded, and the King of Su State gave Ping Qingji an ultimatum to drink the poisoned wine within an hour, so as to preserve his face and whole body.
However, somehow, an hour later when the King of Su State led his men into the room, he found all of his own men dead, and Ping Qingji had vanished without a trace.
Afterward, the King of Su State dispatched people to search for him but to no avail. Half a month later, he received a letter from Ping Qingji sent from Mount Fan.
