Story:
King Zhaoxiang of Qin learned that King Huiwen of Zhao had obtained the Heshibi, a jade of immense value, and intended to deceive him by pretending to offer fifteen cities in exchange for it.
King Huiwen dispatched Lin Xiangru to handle the transaction.
After the King of Qin received the Heshibi, he did not discuss the exchange of cities.
Lin Xiangru cleverly tricked the King into returning the Heshibi and immediately sent someone to secretly transport it back to the State of Zhao overnight.
The King of Qin was enraged and wished to execute Lin Xiangru.
