"I don't want to be the prince, okay, I just want the family to be reunited, isn't this okay?" The prince's master looked at the prince in front of him, even a little disappointed, and said: "Your Highness, there are thousands of families behind us, and now we Our race is being invaded and massacred by foreign races. If we can't even protect our family, how can we reunite a small family? What does it mean to sacrifice a small family? A small sacrifice is for thousands of people to live and work in peace and contentment. A rich country and a strong military will not be bullied by foreigners. Your Highness, you will be the future king and take the world as your own responsibility." These are the heartfelt words that a loyal minister would say to his master. Looking at the prince, he said something meaningful again, saying: "Anyone who achieves great things must endure things that ordinary ants cannot bear." After saying this, the prince's master had no choice but to leave. The prince suddenly understood the profound meaning of this sentence, and called the prince's master, saying: "Sir." The prince's master turned around and stood up, and the prince said: "I will not let you down." The prince's master just nodded, no After saying a word, he left. Only the prince stayed by the pavilion. His eyes were more determined and a little cold, which made the ants fear him.

The Prince's Master drove out of the city and stopped outside the city gate. After getting off the car, he stood outside the city gate and looked up at the tall city gate, feeling something in his heart. At this time, no prince came to see him off, and he was a little worried about the prince. He thought that there was a gap between it and the prince, and there was a rift between the two. He even suspected that the prince still resented it for shooting his husband and his son. The heart disease will become a serious problem before it is cured, but it is hindered by the teacher-student relationship, and there is still value in using it. So I summed it up by saying that accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, like a long sword hanging above your head. Once the sword falls, you will not be able to protect yourself, and your body and head will be different. Everything is possible. At this time, King Ruluo drove out of the city in his chariot. Accompanied by his eight ministers, he got off the car and said, "Sir." Then he poured a bottle of wine with his own hands and said, "Sir, please drink this wine." Prince Master Kneeling down to receive the wine, King Ruluoxi helped the prince's master up and said: "Sir, there is no need to pay such a big courtesy." The prince's master took the wine from King Ruluoxi's hand and drank it in one gulp. King Ruluo Xi said: "Sir, I will stand on this city wall and look forward to your return as soon as possible and safely." The prince's master cupped his hands and said goodbye, saying: "Please return to the chariot, and the foreign ministers will go." Prime Minister He stood up and said, "Sir, wait a minute." The prince's master turned around and said, "I wonder what Xiangguo's big ant has ordered?" Xiangguo carried a red-headed ant beside him and said, "This is a dead soldier raised by my sect. He is loyal. It is reliable and can keep you safe." The dead man stepped forward with a long sword in his hand and saluted, saying: "Sir." The prince's master stretched out his hands and said: "A strong man does not need to be polite." Then he faced the Prime Minister and said: "Thank you, Prime Minister. "He turned around and got into the car with the dead man. He looked around, but he still didn't see the prince leaving the city to see him off. He walked away with a flourish.

On the way to Yongcheng, the prince's master set his sights on the dead man. The dead man didn't say a word along the way. If he hadn't called him sir when they first met, he would have thought he was deaf and mute. The prince's master began to speak and asked: "Red head, where are you from? Do you have any relatives at home?" The dead man refused to answer, with a cold look, and raised the sword in his hand. The prince's master looked away, pretending not to know him, and looked cold and arrogant. No ants dared to get close to him, and he didn't say a word along the way. As they were about to enter the city, the prince's master said, "Follow my arrangements and don't do anything rashly." The dead man just said one word and said: "Okay!"

When entering the city, the cockroach guards lined up for inspection and asked: "What are you doing in the city?" The Prince's Master got out of the car, took out some silver coins, bowed his head and said, "Young man is coming to the city to visit relatives, and I am very accommodating to Master Lao." The guards turned their eyes to it. The dead soldier behind him asked: "What kind of ant is it?" The prince's master looked at the dead soldier behind him and said, "It is the son of a grassroots man. He has suffered from autism since he was a child. He can't speak. I hope the military master will forgive me." "It turns out to be a fool." Another guard looked at the sword in its hand and said, "It still has a sword in its hand." The prince's master also looked at the sword in its hand, thought for a moment, and said, "It's good. Sword, go to the blacksmith shop and use farm tools to make one for it." He presented the silver coins and said, "Honour to the military master, a little thought." The guard weighed the silver coins in his hands and said, "Enter the city." The prince's teacher and the dead soldier then Get on the car and enter the city, find an inn and settle down. The dead man stands outside the door to protect its safety. When you are hungry, you take a few bites of the steamed buns you carry with you. The store owner brought the food and blocked the store owner from the door. The store owner was very surprised and said, "I'm here to deliver food to you, sir." The Prince Master heard the store owner's voice outside the door and stepped forward to open the door. The dead man stood in front of the prince's teacher, took a sip first, and then asked: "What kind of wine is this?" The shopkeeper replied: "Sake." Then he poured a little and tasted it, then poured another cup and drank deeply. After a while, He said: "Sir, you can drink it now." The prince smiled and said: "It's funny." When the shopkeeper left, he looked back and said: "It's inexplicable."

It was late at night, and they had all fallen asleep. Only the dead man stood guard at the door, like the most loyal guard. At this time, there was still one person who was still awake. He stood up and looked at the candlelight in front of him, one bright and one dark. Looking out the window, there is an ant shadow standing in front of the door and window. It cannot be blown down by wind or shaken by thunder. The prince's master stepped forward, opened the door, and saw that it was still waiting at the door. He couldn't bear it and said: "It's very safe here. Go back to the room and sleep for a while." The dead man's eyes were like a torch, and he was about to pull out the long sword in his hand. Treating good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs, he pretended not to say anything, blew out the candles after entering, and went to sleep.

The next day, the sun rises in the east, and today is another sunny day. While eating, he asked the shopkeeper, "Who is the most powerful in your country of cockroaches?" The shopkeeper put his hands on the counter and said without thinking, "The Prime Minister, the Prime Minister is greedy for money and power, and can't take advantage of it. With so little money, the wealth in the Prime Minister's Mansion is as rich as the country." The prince's master stood up and faced the dead man behind him, saying: "Let's go to the Prime Minister's Mansion." They walked in a tea shed in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and would sit on a tea shed when the Prime Minister came and went. A luxurious car, followed by many guards, showing off its power, so he asked: "Whose mansion is this? It is so grand that it can be compared with the palace." The drinker next to him said: "Looking at this scene, It's the prime minister's appointment. You are from other places, right?" The prince's master nodded and said, "Yes, we are merchants from other places, doing a small business in cloth, but we can't find the right way." The drinkers looked at each other. He said: "Looking for the prime minister's country is just a waste of money. I don't know if you are willing to bear it. If you get involved with the prime minister, you will be the prime minister's insect. Are you afraid that you have no way?" The prince's master smiled and said: "Thank you for your advice."

In the dead of night, Xiangguo took a car back to his hometown. Guards stood outside the palace gate to welcome the prime minister into the palace, and beauties from other countries who paid tribute served him or warmed his bed or put him to sleep. At this time, the prince's master and the dead man walked out of the night. The servants rushed forward and surrounded them, asking: "Who are you? What are you doing here at the prime minister's house?" The prince's master faced the servants directly, and the dead man rushed forward and drew out the long sword in his hand, facing them. The prince's master persuaded the dead soldiers to retreat and put the sword into its sheath. Facing these servants, the prince's master said: "The envoy from Xizhou, Ruluo, has come to pay a special visit to Xiangguo Da Chong. Please let me know." Then he offered the gold sand and said, "This is a rule. We still understand it." The servant accepted it. Looking at these gold sands, their expressions were all eager to see the money, and they said: "The foreign envoys will be outside later, and I will let you in." While he was looking for fun in the prime minister's country, a servant suddenly came to report and said: "Outside the Ruluo Xizhou The envoy wants to see you." He was really disappointed and said casually: "Let the envoy wait in the living room." Then he welcomed the envoy into the living room. When they entered the living room, what they saw was the desk and some simple furnishings, which surprised the ants. Then he sat down and watched. The dead man stood aside, not bothering to look at the surrounding furnishings. Xiangguo slowly came out of the back hall and said, "Who is the foreign envoy of Ruluo Xizhou?" He looked high-spirited. The prince's master stood up and saluted, and said: "The Prime Minister is a big bug." The prime minister looked disdainfully at the prince's master in front of him and said: "You are the envoy of the Western Kingdom of Ruluo. You will just go to meet the king tomorrow morning. Why do you come to see him?" What's your true form?" The Prince's Master first praised the Prime Minister greatly and said: "The Prime Minister is the pillar of the Cockroach Kingdom. It makes no sense why he doesn't come to see the Prime Minister." These words are really sweet and sound very comfortable, and he said: " Foreign envoys, please take a seat." The prince's master said, "The Prime Minister will invite you first." He waited until the Prime Minister sat down first and then he sat down. The Prime Minister asked: "Why did the foreign envoy come to see the Prime Minister late at night?" As soon as the Prime Minister finished speaking, the Crown Prince said: "Jomon Island suffered a once-in-a-hundred-year natural disaster. The race was wiped out and was forced to build the capital in Yongcheng. The general established himself as King, but the supply of materials has been lost, and the lack of materials has become the primary difficulty of the Cockroach Kingdom. The foreign ministers came this time to solve the problems for the monarch." This caused the Prime Minister to laugh several times, and half of the voice said in falsetto: "How to solve the problems?" The prince's teacher said again : "The Bumblebee Expedition aims to destroy our two countries and dominate the world. However, the enemy's army is short of food and grass, so we must ask the termites to prepare food and grass and transport them continuously. You can set up ambushes along the coastline to rob their food and grass. The enemy's morale will be shattered. If the enemy's base camp is demoralized and they are attacked secretly, the enemy will be defeated and flee. The Cockroach Kingdom will use this battle to achieve hegemony. It can also solve the problem of lack of supplies, stabilize the morale of the army and the people, and get the best of both worlds." The Prime Minister said to the Prince's Division. He was half convinced and said: "You are the envoy of Ruluo Xizhou, how can I believe your words?" Ruluo Xizhou and the Cockroach Country are strong enemies, and the envoys of the enemy country will help it make suggestions. No one can tell this. believe. The Prince's Master looked up at the surroundings of the living room and pretended to sigh: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is so shabby. The Prime Minister's integrity impressed the foreign envoys and also made them heartbroken. It reflects the Prime Minister's loyalty. The Prime Minister has worked hard for state affairs for most of his life. The foreign envoys are For all to see." Then the soldiers were ordered to bring in several large boxes and open them. Inside were some jewels and gold. The glittering gold almost blinded the Prime Minister's eyes. His love for money was immediately exposed, and he pretended to be calm. Said: "Are you bribing the truth? The truth never accepts bribes, please take it back."
