At the beginning of the peace talks, Emperor Lu proposed that if the terms were to be signed, the Zichuan family must first return Princess Cardan to the barbarians.This request made Ge Yingxing dissatisfied and asked Emperor Lu to return the princess first. If the barbarians tear up the treaty and refuse to admit their debt, wouldn't it put Zichuan at a disadvantage?
Finally, under the mediation of the barbarian envoy Mu Qi, the two sides agreed that Princess Cardan would attend the peace talks in person tomorrow to witness the beginning of diplomatic relations between the two countries.Knowing this news, Yang Minghua ordered Luo Minghai to kill Princess Cardan in order to sabotage the peace talks and pin down Ge Yingxing on the frontline battlefield.
On the other side, Ge Yingxing and Zi Chuanxiu speculated that Yang Minghua would not stand idly by, predicting that Kadan would be in danger, and urgently ordered Zichuan Xiu to protect Kadan.
Zi Chuanxiu came to the prisoner of war camp on the grounds that the Director-General was distributing benefits and told Si Yilin the news that Cardin might be in danger.The two hatched a plan to let Zi Chuanxiu pretend to be Kadan and stay in a prisoner of war camp, while the real Kadan returned home with Si Yilin and was personally protected by Si Yilin.
Sure enough, that night, a masked man in black sneaked into the prisoner of war camp and assassinated Cardin, but Zichuanxiu repelled him.The fight attracted Zichuan soldiers guarding the prisoner of war camp. Zichuanxiu's disguise as Cardin was about to be exposed. At the critical moment, Baichuan came to rescue Zichuanxiu, but this move aroused Zichuanxiu's suspicion.
