In the long history of China, the story of Lin Xiangru and his return to Zhao has been praised by people. The story takes place during the Warring States period and involves a dispute between the states of Zhao and Qin. With wisdom, courage and loyalty, Lin Xiangru, the minister of Zhao, successfully defended the dignity and interests of Zhao, and made it possible for He's Bi to return to Zhao.

In the 3rd century B.C., the state of Zhao received a priceless piece of precious jade, Heshibi. After the news spread, King Qin Zhao expressed his willingness to exchange fifteen cities for this piece of precious jade. King Huiwen of Zhao, the king of Zhao, was faced with a difficult choice: if he did not hand over Baoyu, he could anger Qin and cause war;If you hand over the treasure jade, you are afraid that the Qin State will not keep its word and will not be able to get the city.

At this critical moment, Lin Xiangru stepped forward. He took the initiative to ask Ying and brought He's bi to the Qin State. In the court of the Qin State, Lin Xiangru, with his outstanding diplomatic skills and wisdom, successfully made the King of Qin Zhao fast for five days and set up the "Nine Guests" ceremony to show his respect for the Zhao State. However, when Lin Xiangru handed over the Heshi Bi, King Qin Zhao never mentioned the matter of the fifteen cities.

Faced with this situation, Lin Xiangru did not panic. He cleverly used He's bi as a flaw to reclaim Baoyu from King Qin Zhao, and threatened that if Qin did not fulfill his promise, he would smash Baoyu to pieces on a pillar. King Qin Zhao was so impressed by Lin Xiangru's courage and wisdom that he had to promise to fast for five days before holding the ordination ceremony.

During this period, Lin Xiangru secretly sent people to send He's Bi back to Zhao. When King Qin Zhao found out that he had been deceived, he wanted to detain Lin Xiangru, but considering that doing so would damage the relationship between Qin and Zhao, he eventually let him return to China.
