Two months have passed since the Qing Dynasty raided North Korea. The people rose up to fight but were unable to do so. The Qing Dynasty demanded that North Korea stop its diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty and make peace with the Qing Dynasty.The king asked Li Ren (King of Zhenhan) to stop recruiting volunteers for the Anti-Japanese War. It seemed that he wanted to surrender. Li Ren, who was forced to obey the king's order, was spurned by the volunteers. What was even worse was that the Qing Dynasty asked Li Xuan to use his younger brother as his brother.As a hostage, in addition to threatening Li Xuan's life, he also threatened to make his younger brother the heir to the throne.The king expressed his remorse and distress to Li Ren, and also told Li Ren to come back alive. The two said a sentimental farewell.On the other side, the Empress of the Middle Palace was very happy that this opportunity had come, because she wanted the child in her belly to inherit the throne, and the Concubine could not give Li Ren a chance to inherit.

On the way to the Qing Dynasty, Li Ren saw the captives being forced to travel day and night to die. Zheng Tongshi rebuked Li Ren for being just a proton, and he also felt that North Korea's weakness was really shameful.When he arrived in Shenyang, Li Ren reported to his master in North Korea that he had been playing chess with Prince Rui recently. During the process, he talked about the ransom of North Korean prisoners, and even asked Prince Rui to personally go to the Qing emperor to plead not to raise the ransom in the future. Many things were revealed.It was because of the relationship between Li Ren and Prince Rui that the antagonism between them gradually resolved. Even Prince Rui allowed Li Ren to return to North Korea and even released the people who were captured as gifts.

But it was an eyesore in Li Xuan's eyes. Li Ren, who had been coldly returning for a long time, even scolded Li Ren not to overstep his bounds.The empress of the middle palace also hurriedly wanted to win over Jiang Xun, the prime minister, as her own power, so she wanted to betroth Xia Xu to the daughter of the prime minister, but Jiang Xun's attitude did not take the direct hit.After listening to his uncle Pu Xihuan's explanation, Li Ren realized that Jin Zhongbai had told everyone in the city that Li Ren was Prince Rui's creation, and had also sowed discord with Li Xuan.Li Ren now takes every step carefully, pretending to be a prodigal son, so as to show that he is harmless.Li Ren accidentally discovered the only Go gambler who could speak for him, and he completely expressed Li Ren's grievances. The worst thing was that no one knew the name of this genius chess player, because he would only tell it when he lost.Name.

Li Ren took this opportunity to want to play chess, but he met Liu Xuanbao who wanted to find out all the details about Li Ren with the prostitute Li Ren met last night (the prostitute Hong Qiang was actually Liu Xuanbao's sister). Only then did Jiang Xixiu realize that the person in front of him was the town.Lord Han, but what Jiang Xixiu didn’t know was that he had been targeted by Liu Xuanbao.After listening to Hong Qiang's story, Li Ren learned that Go gamblers helped Hong Qiang pay the ransom, and the money he won from playing chess was used to do good deeds.When Kang Hee-soo returned home and learned that Kim Min-ha had come to her house, she once again stated that she would not marry him. Fortunately, Kang Hee-soo respected Kang Hee-soo's opinion and did not want to force her to get married. The next day, Kang Hee-soo deliberately stated that she did not support her mother-in-law's resistance.No intention to intervene.Kang Hee-soo once again disguised herself as a man and went out to make money at Go, but Liu Xuanbao's men were chasing her. This time, it was Li Ren who saved Kang Hee-soo and was even injured.
