Summary

In the Xiang residence's camp, following a chaotic night, the imperial army regrouped amid the turmoil of Lin Shaoyu's death. Li Hang Zai, who had not slept well previously, found himself resting soundly in Bingzhou. Upon waking, he was summoned by Lord Cui Xiang to discuss the search for Cheng Dalei, who had escaped capture. Despite Cui Xiang's reassurances about the security of Bingzhou, Li Hang Zai was frustrated by Cheng Dalei's actions and sought to take matters into his own hands. Cui Xiang introduced a young general, Xue Ding Shan, as a potential candidate to deal with Cheng Dalei, praising his martial skills. However, Li Hang Zai remained skeptical about Xue's ability to succeed against such a formidable opponent. Cui Xiang then revealed that they had captured a man claiming to be Xu Shenji, Cheng Dalei's chief strategist. Initially, Li Hang Zai doubted Xu's significance due to his unkempt appearance, but Xu confidently asserted his identity. Cui Xiang was eager to treat Xu with respect, recognizing his potential value in strategizing against Cheng Dalei. Xu Shenji, seizing the opportunity, began to recount his hardships, gaining sympathy from Li Hang Zai and Cui Xiang. Despite his emotional display, both men remained cautious, aware that appearances could be deceiving.
