The prince turned around and said: "Your Majesty, open the city gate. I want to fight to the death with the enemy general." The prince's master still tried to dissuade him: "Your Highness, no!" The prince became a little anxious. He looked down at the ants below the city and said, "Below the city is My house ants, they are in the hands of enemy insects, what do you think they should do?" The prince's division looked down at the prince's ants and his prince below the city, and made a painful decision: "Your Highness, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, kill them!" the young general below the city called out! He said: "Your Highness, the general intends to support you as the king and abolish the current termite king. Don't you want to have a good reunion with your ants?" Such a great temptation, coupled with the fact that his ants are still under the city, Now what I am thinking about is how to save its house ants? The prince's master saw through the prince's thoughts and advised: "Your Highness, your responsibility is to revive the termite clan, how can you lose your mind because of the love between your children? Think about it, the hornet killed your father, the termite clan's King, you have supported your brother as a puppet, how can you abolish this puppet because of you? They are here to deceive the army, and then deceive you out of the city and capture you, and then kill you on a crime to remove the obstacles to their domination of the world and eliminate them. Don't worry about the future. Your Highness, this hatred is irreconcilable, so make up your mind." Then he handed the bow and arrow to the prince. The prince drew his bow and arrow and aimed it at his husband and children. How could it bear it? There are bows and arrows put down. The prince's master advised from the side: "Your Highness, you are the future king, and you are responsible for the country, the country, and the people. This is your responsibility. The previous kings and your father are watching you in the sky." He knelt down again. Said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince." King Ruluo Xi stood aside and said: "Prince, Sir, I have devoted my whole life for you and the Termite Tribe. You should not have such affection as children." The Crown Prince closed his eyes, tilted his head to the side, and held the arrow in his hand. release. The prince's master stood aside and gave the order, and the arrows were shot down. The husband ant and the prince immediately shot into a sieve. The prince shouted: "Fu ant, my son!" The young general on the side also shot him. Suddenly, the people behind the battlements burst into tears, ordered the ants to help the prince down, and found an army of spiders to lay a sky net on the city wall.

General Hornet under the city gave the order to attack the city. The army flapped its wings and flew up, hitting the spider web and sticking to it, making it impossible to escape. The Hornet Army stuck in the spider web was killed by random arrows. Dozens of spiders gathered together and spun silk to wrap it up like a pupa, and then spun out thin threads and slid down, waiting for the next army to attack. Seeing the failure of the siege, the general ordered the troops to withdraw. The ant army won the first battle and cheered while wielding their swords.

In this battle to defend the capital, Spider made the first contribution. King Ruluo Xi hosted a banquet in the palace, and the palace was full of joy. However, the prince sat aside and was unhappy, while an ant drank the wine. The prince's master looked at the prince sitting beside him, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He stepped forward to plead guilty, knelt down and said: "Your Highness, I am guilty." The prince stood up and said, "What is your crime, sir?" The prince's master still knelt down. Looking up at the prince, he said: "The old minister ordered to shoot the prince Fu Yi and his son, which is a capital crime." The prince stretched out his hands to help the prince's master, and said: "Sir, he is loyal to our ant tribe, and he has no choice but to revive our termite tribe. For this reason, the victory in this battle is your credit. Sir, please stop blaming yourself." The prince forced a smile and helped the prince's teacher to sit down. King Ruluo Xi sat on the throne and praised: "The noble prince knew the general situation and shot his husband and his prince, which stabilized the morale of the army..." The prince could not wait for King Ruluo Xi to finish his words and immediately said: "Foreign ministers don't dare to take credit. If it hadn't been for Mr.'s dissuasion, I might have fallen into the enemy general's trap."

The eight ministers catered to him and said, "Sir, you are very resourceful, but what we don't understand is where do these spider armies come from? Please explain to us, sir." The King of the West was also curious about this matter and asked: "This matter I also want to know, sir, please tell me." The prince's master faced Ruluoxi and his eight ministers and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, it was raining heavily that day, and I saw a spider injured at the door, and its web was also damaged by the heavy rain. It was broken, so the foreign minister took it upon himself to rescue it and raised it under his door. After it recovered from the injury, he left. The next day it brought its kin to join the army. The foreign minister secretly organized them into the army and became the king's king. Effectiveness." After hearing this, King Ruluo Xi said: "Very good." Then he looked outside the palace gate and said: "Summon Spider Thirty into the palace to see you." Spider Thirty attacked and knelt down together, saying: "Your Majesty." King Ruluo Xi faced the thirty spiders kneeling before his highness and said: "You have made the first contribution in the defense of the capital. I am happy today. Tell me, what reward do you need?" The thirty spiders replied in unison: " We don't ask for rewards, we just want to kill thieves for the country, die on the battlefield, and serve the king and sir." The prince's master stood up and said: "Your Majesty, they are all dead soldiers raised by foreign ministers, and they can kill the enemy ten times. Generally speaking, the dead soldiers are very important. Righteousness is not important for profit. Kill enemies for the country but want to leave a name behind you." King Ruluo Xi understood the meaning of the prince's division and said: "Okay, I will name you loyal, righteous and brave," and ordered the historian to write down this in detail . Death Spider thanked him and exited the hall. King Ruluo Xi looked at the spiders and the others leaving, and sighed: "Loyalty! Give them all the trophies you hunted." The prince's master was overjoyed, looked up at King Ruluo, and said: "Your Majesty is kind, You will definitely win the hearts of scholars all over the world, and this move will attract well-educated scholars from various vassal states to defect to Ruluo Xizhou." All the ministers present expressed their appreciation. King Ruluo Xi was also deeply gratified by this move, and said calmly: "All the ministers work together to resist foreign enemies. The prosperity of Jiuruo Xizhou depends on your family."

The prince looked up to King Ruluo, drank alone, then stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the foreign minister is a little drunk, so he will go back first." Then he stood up, saluted and left. The prince's master looked at the prince and saw that he was depressed, so he wanted to call the prince to stop, but there was no way out. King Ruluo Xi looked at the prince's leaving figure and comforted him: "It has just lost its husband and child. Give it some time to forget." The prince's master also lowered his head and nodded gently. Seeing that his master felt uncomfortable, he felt the same. It’s uncomfortable, I hope it’s just as the king said.

King Ruluo Xi first looked down at the eight ministers and said: "Bumblebee will not give up after being defeated this time. What should we do next?" A minister stood up and faced King Ruluo and said: "Build the city wall and train troops to prepare for war. This is the first priority, and the second is to unite the people, princes, ministers and their soldiers to jointly defend and participate in the war." King Ruluo Xi agreed and said: "Uncle Wang's words are reasonable. I will leave the repair of the city wall to Uncle Wang." Then he turned his attention. He turned to the Prince's Division and said, "Sir, what else do you have to say about this?" The Prince's Division glanced at King Ruluo and his eight ministers, and said, "There is a saying in the art of war: before the troops and horses move, food and grass should go first. Food and grass are very important to the march. Important. The Hornet Army's expedition to Jiuruluo Xizhou relies on our termite tribe to transport food and grass, thereby diverting the flames of war and giving us more time to cultivate. The people work on farming and develop production. They gather for military training when they are free and farm when they are busy. , combat weapons are uniformly distributed by the country, and one soldier and one farmer can meet the needs of the war." After hearing this, King Ruluo Xi was very happy and said: "This strategy is very good, just in line with the wishes of the ants." After that, he became a little suspicious. He asked: "How to transfer the war and to whom?" The prince's division also pondered for a long time. After careful consideration, he said: "As far as the foreign minister knows, Jomon Island has suffered a serious natural disaster, and there is no life on the island. , let alone the Cockroach Clan? They were forced to establish a capital in Yongcheng and lost material supplies. The shortage of materials became the primary difficulty for the newly established Cockroach Kingdom. In addition, the Cockroach King is extremely greedy and warlike. We can encourage him to rob food and Bumblebee starts the war and transfers the war to Yongcheng, giving us more time to cultivate." King Ruluo Xi thought about it and said: "This requires sending eloquent people to lobby." The Prince's Master stood up and recommended himself, He said: "The foreign minister is willing to go." King Ruluo Xi immediately refused, saying: "The Cockroach Kingdom has a big enmity with me, Ruluo Xizhou, and my life may be in danger if I go. Sir, I can't go, so I'd better send other ministers to go." King Ruluo Xi turned his eyes to the other ministers and said, "Which of you is willing to go?" The other ministers were silent, and no one was willing to take the risk. The Prince's Master looked at the ministers around him, then faced King Ruluo Xi, and said: "Your Majesty, the war is tense. Please make an early decision." This made King Ruluo Xi feel a little embarrassed, and said: "Sir, I am really willing to take this risk." Is it dangerous?" The prince's master recommended himself again and said: "Cockroaches are extremely greedy. Foreign ministers can bring heavy sums of money to bribe the superiors and subordinates, and they will be safe. Your Majesty does not have to worry about the foreign ministers." King Ruluo Xi faced the prince's master's question. After repeated requests, he had no choice but to agree and said: "I will give you a hundred taels of gold, as well as the night-glow pearl that King Ruluo Nan gave to the late king. When will you return, sir?" After the prince's teacher saluted, he said: "The foreign minister will leave tomorrow. Let’s set off and return in three days.” King Ruluo Xi stood up and said, “I will see Mr. off tomorrow.”

Qiong hook rises into Cang Yuan, clouds come and jade sticks rise. Sulu pine blows the night wind, and the blue sky falls just like the frost. Outside the pavilion with fragrant grass floating on the water, the beauty's life is miserable and her soul is weeping miserably. Heartbroken, I admire the lonely fragrance at the end of the world, and my hair on my temples is dyed with blue hair. The fruitless look came and went, and the years were wasted for decades. Who is offering sacrifices in the solitary grave of Yunmeng? The yin and yang are separated by the cold and the heat. The prince stood outside the attic. He missed his late wife and his son more and more. He looked at each other with tears in his eyes. Only bitter wine entered his throat. If the bitter wine soothes his intestines, how can he overcome the pain of lovesickness? I hope I will never wake up after being drunk for a long time. Since ancient times, all the sages have been lonely. Only the drinkers leave their names. Burning incense and praying to the sky, he said: "Husband, my child! I am useless. I was born as a prince and a prince. I can't even protect my own ants. What kind of prince am I? A waste." He began to give up on himself again, and the prince was sad to see him. The distraught prince walked in and knelt down, saying: "Your Highness, it's so sad for you to make me happy like this! Your Highness, you must put national affairs first, take revenge, rejuvenate the country and work hard for strength. This is the first thing you have to do." The prince turned around, He backed away and said, "I can't even protect my own ants. I'm talking about state affairs. It's better to die." The prince's master knelt and walked forward and said, "Your Highness, how can you face the late king at the foot of the spring if you give up on yourself like this?" , Ancestors! Where has the ambitious Crown Prince gone? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
