Story:
During the late Spring and Autumn period, Cui Zhu and Qing Feng assassinated Duke Zhuang of Qi and subsequently enthroned Duke Jing of Qi, Chushou. Two of Duke Zhuang's loyal guards, Lu Bo Gui and Wang He, managed to escape to other states.
Lu Bo Gui's younger brother, Lu Bo Bi, secretly earned Qing Feng's trust. He cunningly devised a plan to eliminate Cui Zhu's entire family, and even offered his own wife to Qing Feng as part of his elaborate scheme.
Later, Lu Bo Bi successfully brought back Lu Bo Gui and Wang He, and together they avenged Duke Zhuang by orchestrating the demise of Qing Feng's family.
