After hearing what the retainer said, the bearded ant agreed to go to the slippery ant country with the tailed ant. The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Da Sikou's Mansion, and the Bearded Ant walked out, followed by the Tailed Ant, and stepped forward to stand aside.
First, please ask Xu Yan to get in the car, sit in front of him, and drive away. The tail ant drove the carriage through the streets and alleys, watching the people walking on both sides and the vendors shouting in front of the stalls.
There are many pavilions in the distance, and there is an endless stream of wandering insects. Some people can climb up and look into the distance. They can see this prosperous scenery, or they can sit and talk, this is the country of the country.
The carriage moved slowly, fearing to collide with the surrounding insects. When the onlookers saw Xianyi on the carriage, they all knelt down to greet him. When the carriage stopped, Xiuyi got out of the car and helped these people. At the invitation of the people, he climbed up to the pavilion to watch the scene of late spring.
The green trees in the south of the street are filled with spring catkins, and the spring road is covered with snow. There are bright flowers and beautiful clouds at the top of the tree, and insects are everywhere at the bottom of the tree. When you step up to the north tower, the sparse curtains are rolled up high, and you can directly see the trees on the south side of the street.
The tail ant stood waiting under the attic. After a long time, he saw the tail ant hurriedly walking down and said:
"Come on, let's get out of the city quickly." Then he got on the carriage and sat down. The tail ants sat in front and drove the carriage, bypassing the insect swarm and heading straight out of the city.
Outside the capital, there is a wasteland, overgrown with weeds, sparse villages, a few smokes, and distant mountains with undulating clouds.
I saw a fishing boat docking, the sun was setting, the clouds were shining, and the carriage was far away. When we arrived at the capital of the Sliding Ant Kingdom, we saw that it was already getting late, so we temporarily borrowed the library to settle down.
The next day, he and the tail ants entered the palace to face the king, facing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, then looked up at him and said:
"The envoy of the ant tribe met the king on the order of the ant king." The king of the slippery ant kingdom did not take the envoy of the ant tribe seriously. Instead, he fixed his eyes on the tail ant behind the bearded ant and said with a smile:
"What kind of ant is this? It looks ugly, so drive it out of the court." The tail ant stood up and said:
"Is this how you treat the envoys of friendly countries? I, the king of the ant tribe, saw that your country was in trouble, so I sent reinforcements to rescue you. You want to drive me out of the court. I don't know what your intention is?" If the king of the slippery ant country will If the tail ants drive out of the court, it means they are slapping the ant tribe in the face, and the consequences will be disastrous. He said:
"It was Gu's fault. Gu was wrong." Then he faced the bearded ant and said:
"Why are you sending an envoy to the Huayi Kingdom?" Xuyi said:
"The termites have invested heavily in attacking our Grand Canyon. The foreign envoys have come to ask the prince to send troops to help." At this time, the prince of the Slippery Ant Kingdom was in a dilemma and said:
"Our country, Huayi, is a small country. We have just experienced a war and our troops have been depleted too much. We have no troops left in the country. Please forgive me." Taiyi stood up and said:
"The prince is unwilling to send troops, right?" The surrounding officials were puzzled and came forward, saying:
"Sir, what do you mean by this? Your Majesty has already made it very clear, why bother pushing me?" The tail ant faced the ministers, then looked up at the Sliding Ant Kingdom's monarch, and said:
"Since the two countries have signed an alliance to help each other, and now our ant clan is in trouble, should the monarch send troops to help?" The monarch of the Sliding Ant Kingdom said:
"Yes, we should send troops." The tail ant continued:
"The prince is afraid of the power of the termites and does not dare to send troops to save his friend's country. He sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight to make his next plan so that he can retaliate against Li. Do you think that doing this will keep you slippery ants? country? Your Majesty, please don’t forget that the Sliding Ant Kingdom is located in the buffer zone between the Ant Clan and the Termite Clan. The Termite Clan’s intention to send troops this time is to destroy your Sliding Ant Kingdom, and we, the Ant Clan, follow the moral principles and send troops to help. The siege of the capital city of the slippery ant kingdom was solved, which led to military disaster. The king should know that the termite king is a treacherous king, and his wolf ambition is obvious. He also signed multiple covenants with our ant tribe to non-aggression, and many times Tear up the peace treaty and send troops to invade. If the termite army captures the Qingshui River of the ant tribe, the slippery ant country will lose the protection of our ant clan. You and I are two countries that are close to each other. I think the king should understand the truth of the death of lips and teeth." The monarch also hesitated on this matter for a long time, and then asked His Highness's officials, saying:
"My dear friends, can you agree to send troops?" A minister stood up and said:
"Although our Huayi Kingdom is a small country, our current military strength can still consume the vigor of the termite army. I agree with the Lord to send troops." The Lord of the Huayi Kingdom stood up and said:
"Okay, I, the Hua Yi Kingdom, will send 300,000 troops, appoint Gu Yi as the general, and lead the troops to assist the Grand Canyon." Xiang Guo Xiao Yi has recommended the swordsmith to the Ant King several times.
Late one night, the Prime Minister's little ant came into the palace to meet the ant king. After entering the palace, Xiao Yi knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty." The Ant King stood up and walked forward, saying:
"My dear, please stand down." After the little ant stood up, the ant king asked:
"Why did the Prime Minister come to see the Ant King late at night?" The Prime Minister looked at the Ant King and said:
"I wonder what your Majesty thinks about the swordsmith recommended by me?" The Ant King disagreed and said:
"What kind of talent can a swordsmith have? Does Widow Yi need to visit him in person? Witness Yi can just summon him in the court tomorrow." Xiao Yi advised:
"Your Majesty, please don't. Your Majesty, this is a sage act to honor your corporal. Now that the termite army is approaching the Grand Canyon, it is the time to use insects. Your Majesty, please do not be rash." The Ant King asked again:
"Compared with you, who has the talent to govern a country and bring peace to the world?" Xiao Yi replied:
"Nothing worse than that." The Ant King was a little doubtful and said:
"Xiangguo must have exaggerated this ant too much." The little ant said:
"This ant is proficient in the art of war, and is good at yin and yang formations, which I cannot match. In addition, this ant is calm, sophisticated, and hidden. It has been hiding in the Ruluo West Continent for several years without being discovered by the Ruluo West King. I It seems that this ant has the talent to govern Yan." After hearing what the little ant said, the ant king said:
"Okay, Widow Ant will visit tomorrow." The next day, the Ant King, accompanied by Xiao Yi, went to Yan's Restaurant. In the same car were the concubines and the two ants. Xiao Yi was riding on a horse to guard him, and walked slowly through the street. In the alley, people knelt down to welcome him.
The ant king stuck his head out and said:
"You all can get back on your feet." The Ant King's chariot stopped in front of the courtyard gate of Yan's Restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Yan went out to greet them, knelt down and said:
"The little people are here to welcome the king." Its wife stood aside and was stunned. Yan looked up at his wife standing aside, pulled its sleeves, and whispered:
"This is your Majesty, you don't want your life." Then he knelt down and Yan said again:
"People's women don't know etiquette, please don't blame me, Your Majesty." The Ant King opened the curtain, got out of the car accompanied by the second concubine, stood in front, and said:
"Anyone who doesn't know is not guilty. Get up." Then the king was invited into the house and sat down in the hall. The second concubine looked around with a look of disgust on her face and said:
"Your Majesty, what kind of place is this? We are all so hot." The Ant King said:
"Two beloved concubines, I brought you here to understand the sentiments of the people. I was living a more miserable life than they were." Standing aside, Yan said with a silly smile:
"The humble house is simple and shabby." The Ant King looked around and said:
"Where is the swordsmith? Why don't you come out to see me? I came to visit you only after listening to the advice of the Prime Minister." The second concubine complained:
"This swordsmith is really rude. He is just a swordsmith. Why bother the king to come here in person?" The Ant King said softly:
"My beloved concubine must not be rude. She is recommended by the Prime Minister and must be a talented person. I am thirsty for talents. I should go. I should go." The second concubine began to act coquettishly.
road:
"I feel sorry for the king." The ant king coaxed:
"Second Concubine, you have worked hard, you have worked hard." Then he picked up a piece of fruit and fed it to her, saying:
"One for you, one for you." The second concubine bowed her head and saluted, saying:
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiao Yi pulled out the Yan family and said:
"Sir, where did it go?" Yan asked anxiously:
"I don't know either, but I'm so anxious." Xiao Yi also stamped his feet anxiously and said:
"Hurry up and look for it." Yan said:
"I'll look for it right away. I'll go right now." Mrs. Yan walked out of the courtyard, looked behind her, turned around and kept chattering:
"Where can we find it? The capital is so big. Really, sir, but you are not here at this time. Where have you been?" There is no designated target, just wandering on the street, watching the insects coming and going, and feeling in my heart Even more confused.
At this time, the swordsmith was drinking with a few friends in the restaurant, talking about world affairs and discussing heroes over wine.
A friend said:
"When it comes to world affairs, who can unify the South China Sea? End the war and let the people live and work in peace and contentment." The swordsmith raised the termite king and said:
"The termite king has the ambition to dominate the South China Sea, and with the help of wise ants, how about the termite king?" Another friend said:
"Although the domestic ants are virtuous, they can manage the country and make the people peaceful, but they are not enough to unify the South China Sea. The termite king likes great achievements and is headstrong for his own use, which makes the emperor and his ministers alienate from morality, and the national strength is insufficient." After hearing this, the friend next to him said:
"You have traveled around the countries in the South China Sea and have seen a lot." The swordsmith nodded silently and asked again:
"I stayed in Ruluo Xizhou for a while, and I saw that King Ruluo Xi was so talented and brave that he destroyed the Cockroach Kingdom in one fell swoop and regained the old capital of Yongcheng. So what about King Ruluo Xi?" the friend said:
"The King of the West is stable but died young. His national strength is not as good as before. When he attacked the Cockroach Kingdom and regained the old capital of Yongcheng, the war was protracted and large-scale. The national power was greatly depleted and it was not enough to unify the South China Sea." The swordsmith asked again:
"King Ruluo Nan appoints talented people, and the country's strength is booming. Can King Ruluo Nan unite the South China Sea?" This friend said:
"Although King Ruluo Nan is wise outside, his city is very deep and he uses conspiracy to govern the country. He is afraid that all the countries will not obey and he will not be able to unify the South China Sea." At this time, Yan came and stood aside and said:
"Sir, it turns out you are here. I searched everywhere but couldn't find you." The swordsmith turned around and asked:
"What's the matter? You're so anxious." Yan said anxiously:
"The Prime Minister and the king came to my wine shop and have been waiting for you for a long time." The swordsmith said happily:
"The Prime Minister has indeed not broken his promise." Yan said anxiously:
"Come back with me to meet the king." The swordsmith said calmly at this time:
"Don't worry, let them wait a little longer. Let's sit down and listen to them talking about the heroes of the world." He turned around and sat down again and asked:
"The ant king of the ant tribe can unify all the countries in the South China Sea." This friend said:
"Yes! Although the Ant King has no independent opinions, nor is he as talented and strategist as King Ruluo Xi, he is assisted by the virtuous Prime Minister Little Ant, and spreads benevolence, winning the hearts of insects all over the world. Although the national power is not as good as that of the Termite Tribe, Ruluo West Continent, and Ruluo Nanzhou , but all aspects are developing rapidly, and it is only a matter of time to unify the countries in the South China Sea." The swordsmith was very pleased to hear its comments about the ant tribe, and said:
"You are here for...
"They answered in unison, saying:
"Come to join the ants." The swordsmith said:
"When I meet with the king this time, I will advise him to build a recruitment hall to gather talents from all over the world." Another friend was delighted and said:
"Okay, the State of Qi in the Middle Earth has Jixia Academy, and we, the Nanhai Ant Tribe, have the Talent Recruitment Center. We will work together to make suggestions for the king, unify the South China Sea, eliminate war, and make the world peaceful and peaceful."
