Fourth, cease war with us, coexist peacefully and form a state of friendship. At this time, the King of Termites was still dreaming of the victorious nation, saying: "You and I are at war, and you belong to the defeated nation. Why should I agree to your harsh demands? If the two sides cease war and live in peace and reconciliation forever, I can still reluctantly agree. As for the first three items, I cannot agree to them. "The general showed a fierce look on his face, pulled out the sword from his waist, leaped up and stabbed his throat with one sword, and picked off his head with one sword. The ministers were shocked at first, then knelt down and cried bitterly, stamped their feet and beat their chests, saying : “O king! My king! The general raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Who dares to disobey?" "A clan elder stood up and pointed angrily at the general: "The general is tyrannical. Stop dreaming about asking us to obey you. If you kill our king, our termite clan will definitely attack him in groups. You will be waiting to be killed. Wilderness. "The general was so angry that he killed all the officials, clan elders or nobles who opposed him in a fit of anger. This move shocked the officials and forced them to obey the general. The next step was to bloodbath the harem and eradicate the roots to prevent future troubles. The harem was in chaos. In one piece, the soldiers who rushed into the harem killed the ants at the sight of them, almost red-eyed. The densely packed corpses were difficult to complete. They were all mutilated or with heads separated from the body. A minister and the prince fled into the cracks in the ground. Taking advantage of the chaos and escaping, they prepared to recruit troops and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback. The soldiers were quick and without bloodshed, and the termite kingdom was quickly captured. The first thing they had to do was to deal with the aftermath. The words of the military counselor made the general feel a little worried. Entering the harem, there are mountains of corpses here, rivers of blood here, a bloody storm, murderous intent, and evil winds blowing everywhere. The military advisor followed up and said: "General, it's not good, the prince took advantage of the chaos and escaped. The general turned around, not thinking about the prince's affairs, and asked: "What should we do according to the military advisor's plan?" "
"General, the current plan is to establish another termite king. It is just and logical for a son to inherit his father's legacy, which can stabilize the current situation." Create another king, and he is the son of the dead termite king. So which ant can inherit? If the chosen successor ant is difficult to control, wouldn’t it mean that all the efforts are made in a bamboo basket? He coerced the emperor and ordered the princes to prepare for the subsequent conquest. At this time, the general was most worried about the undecided war ahead and a fire in the backyard. He really had a home and could not return. In fact, the military counselor had already seen through the general's thoughts and said: "General, the termite king has a little son who is weak and timid and easy to control. If you make him the king, the overall situation is decided." These words of the military counselor dispelled the general's worries. , said: "Okay, let's do it according to the military advisor's wishes."
During this time of war and chaos, the prince fled, and there were dilapidated city walls everywhere. People were massacred, and corpses were everywhere wherever the enemy troops went. The people were burned, killed, and plundered, which was unspeakable misery. Many wives were separated and families were broken up. hospital. There was a "buzzing" sound above his head, and the minister quickly took the prince and hid in a piece of grass, looked up at it, and said: "The world is so big, is there no place for me?" The minister cried, He knelt down and said: "Prince, don't say this. You have a heavy responsibility, and don't forget the great cause of revenge." The prince walked out of the weeds and stood on the vast land. The bloody setting sun reflected the river surface red. On the bank of the river, the water plants Yiyi, the river is raining, and the autumn calls of gulls and herons are startled, and the sunset is colorful. Seeing this, the minister said happily: "Prince, there is a fishing boat in front of us. We can climb on the fishing boat and cross the river safely." The prince turned around and said, "Where should we go when we cross the river? Please teach me." This minister is the termite king who is traveling around. At that time, I found a learned man for the prince, who taught him how to write essays and assisted him in political affairs. He was a minister who stabilized the world. The minister then said: "Prince, across the river is a vast ocean. On the other side of the sea is the Ruluo West Kingdom. In the Ruluo West Country, there is a huge ant tribe with a strength of more than 30 million. We are going to Cheng Ming here. King Ruluo Xi is very upright and will definitely take us in." The prince then agreed and said, "Okay, just listen to your arrangement." When the fishermen sang late, there was a caper coming from the bow of the boat, and he was surprised. The rising egret rested on the bow of the boat. The prince and ministers climbed onto the bow of the boat, and the old man just smiled, so amiable, and paddled away. As night fell, the fishing fires dimmed, white mist rose from the river, and the evening breeze was cool. Two ants hugged each other next to the lights to stay warm and survive the night.
The fog rises, frost falls, and the lonely moon shines on the green mountains. There are thick ink and light colorful clouds, and the fishing fire is dim under the curtain. Suddenly I entered the mountain stream at night, and it was autumn and the sky was high. The morning is cold and the flowers are blooming, the wind is clear and the land is far away. The stars are vast and the reeds are rising and falling. When dawn comes, the rising sun emerges from the night and disperses the morning fog. The sky is getting brighter and it’s another sunny day. To cast a net for fishing, the prince used this fishing boat to go out to sea and stop at Jiuruluo Island, which is today's Xisha Islands. The Paracel Islands, also known as the Paracel Islands, are one of the four archipelagos in the South China Sea. They are composed of the Yongle Islands and the Xuande Islands. They are the largest archipelago in the South China Sea by land area, starting from Beijiao in the north to Pioneer Bank in the south; Starting from Xidutan and reaching Zhongjian Island in the west, it is under the jurisdiction of Xisha District, Sansha City, Nanhai Province. It is located in the central link between mainland China, Dongsha Islands, Hainan Island, Zhongsha and Nansha Islands, and is the Nanyang Islands of China, the Indochina Peninsula and the Indian Ocean. The administrative center of Sansha City is on Yongxing Island in the Paracel Islands. The Xisha Islands were called Jiuruluozhou (stone), Qizhou (ocean), Changsha, Qianli Changsha, etc. in ancient times. When I first came to Jiuruluozhou, the ants here were working hard, carrying food to prepare for the winter. The long queue is very neat, like a thin line. The prince stood on the hill and said: "This is Jiuruluozhou, right?" The minister looked down at the neat queue in front of him, smiled happily, and said: "Your Highness, we are saved." So he walked down the hill and found An ant asked: "Excuse me, please take me to see your king." The ant turned around and said: "Which clan are you from? Why do you want to see my king?" Since you are sincere in joining me, there is no need to hide it anymore. What's the matter? Tell the truth and call the prince and say: "This is the eldest son of the termite king. The hornet invaded and killed the king of our termite tribe and wanted to destroy the tribe. The prince and I took advantage of the chaos and escaped to join you, the King of Ruluo West." , to temporarily avoid the disaster of war or the destruction of hornets, I ask you, the Ant Tribe of the Western Kingdom of Ruluo, to send troops to help. I will thank you deeply after the restoration of the country." Seeing that the two ants answered so sincerely, they couldn't refuse anything, so they had to say: " You should follow our queue closely, and we will take you to see our king." The minister and the prince quickly thanked them and followed them to the country of the West Ant. The ant country in front of us is not as prosperous as before. It is so desolate, as if it has been hurriedly moved from another place. I still remember when it was a child and traveled around the country with its father. At that time, the capital of the Western Kingdom of Ruluo was in Yongcheng, but it was moved to such a remote place for some unknown reason. If you see King Ruluo Xi at this time, you must ask him clearly. The two ants stood at the gate of the palace waiting for King Ruluo Xi's summons. Let this ant go in and report.
The ant entered the palace hall, knelt down and said: "Report to the king, the prince of the termite clan and his master are waiting for summons outside the palace gate."
King Ruluo Xi was a little confused and asked the minister: "The prince of the termite clan."
The minister came out and faced the ant and said, "That prince of the ant clan?" The ant knocked his head down and said, "I heard from a certain gentleman that he came from Nanzhan Buzhou." The minister had some realization. , faced King Ruluo Xi in surprise, and said: "It's the termite tribe over there in Nanzhan Buzhou. I heard that the Hornet soldiers destroyed their termite tribe without bloodshed. If we take them in, we may lead to war disasters in Nine Ruluo Island." Continent, the Hornet Corps is not so easy to mess with!" Another minister stood up and retorted: "We are both members of the ant tribe, how can we refuse? If we reject them this time, then other insect kingdoms will think that the king is brave. If we are afraid of trouble, other kingdoms will bully and ravage us, and educated people will not dare to come and seek refuge, so why talk about restoring the country?"
"The despicable and shameless cockroach clan has occupied our capital. The old king passed away in grief and anger and moved here. In addition, the new king has just succeeded to the throne. What is needed is peace of mind."
King Ruluo Xi didn't have any idea in his mind and was hesitant, so he had to arrange for them to rest in the post house and come down to summon them after a few days. King Ruluo Xi thought about it again and again, and called the ant back, saying: "Enter the ant family well, and remember not to let other insects argue with you." The ant took a few steps back respectfully, kowtowed: "Wei Ant will be a good king." I entrust you." Then he walked out and the prince's master standing next to the prince asked: "Why, your king doesn't want to summon us." The ant replied: "The king won't summon us for the time being. Let's wait a few days to talk about it." The prince's master asked in confusion: "Didn't you tell your Majesty about our situation?"
"Sir, it's better to settle down in the post house and wait for the king's summons."
