General Ma Liang looked at the ant king in front of him and said, "I am willing to stay in the ant tribe and serve the court." Then he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." The ant king helped General Ma Liang up and said, "General, there is no need to pay such a grand ceremony." Sit down hand in hand. General Ma Liang sits under the Ant King. The Ant King asked: "Ruluo Nanzhou remains unchanged. General, would you like to be the general of Ruluo Nanzhou?" General Ma Liang stood up and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for your love, your Majesty. I am willing to obey your instructions." The Ant King asked. He stretched out his hand and pressed it gently, and said: "General, can you recommend the clan members of Ruluo Nanzhou to be the state pastors." General Ma Liang said: "Among the clansmen of Ruluo Nanzhou, only Chu and Huang are the wisest. I recommend it." Clan Chu Huang is the prefect of Ruluo Nanzhou." King Yi said: "Okay, I agree to the general and appoint Chu Huang as the state shepherd of Ruluo Nanzhou, and work with General Tongyi to manage the military and political affairs of Ruluo Nanzhou. General Ma Liang stood up again and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ant king sent a eunuch to enter Ruluo Nanzhou with General Ma Liang. When he entered the clan mansion, he asked, "Where is the big ant Chu Huang?" Chu Huang walked out to greet him, and then stood next to General Ma Liang. The eunuch stood in front of them and said: "Your Majesty has an edict, and Clan Chu Huang will accept it." Chu Huang stepped forward and knelt down, saying: "I accept the edict." The eunuch opened the ant king's imperial edict and read out: "The little ants Following the order of Heaven, and hearing of your virtuous reputation, I ennoble my kinsman Chu Huang as the prefect of Ruluo Nanzhou, and work with General Ma Liang and General Tong Yi to manage the important military and political affairs of Ruluo Nanzhou. I appreciate this." Chu Huang thanked him. : "My king will live for ten thousand years, and there will be no time limit for ten thousand years." Then he received the imperial edict. The eunuch said: "Please get up, Zhou Mu Da Yi." Chu Huang stood up and said: "Please take a rest in the house for a while." The eunuch said: "No, the Za family has to go to the military camp to explain some things."

Then the eunuch walked out of the clan house and ran towards the military camp outside the city. General Tongyi and the swordsmith came out of the camp to greet him. The eunuch stood outside the military camp, saluted them and said: "General, military advisor." General Tongyi walked out and said: "General Manager Yi, let's go into the camp to talk first." Then they entered together. After the eunuch entered, he faced Tongyi. General Yi said: "The Zajia came here this time to convey the king's decree. Chu Huang, a clan member of the king of Ruluo Nan, was appointed as the state pastor, and Ma Liang was made the general. The general stayed in Ruluo Nanzhou to coordinate the management of military and political affairs. It is not easy to read out the king's secret decree." General Tongyi received the secret order and was about to open it. The eunuch stopped him and said: "General, it is not easy to open it at this time. The general has the power to make arbitrary decisions when the opportunity arises. If there is an emergency, he can open this secret edict and deal with it." General Tongyi thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust in me." King Ant expressed his gratitude to this Chu Huang. Not that much trust, General Tongyi was left to monitor them. If there was any abnormality, he could kill them first and report later.

After the ants wiped out the Ruluo Nanzhou, only the Ruluo West Continent and the Ruluo Zhongzhou were left. In early September of the same year, the swordsmith led an army to capture Yongcheng, the capital of Ruluo Xizhou, and King Ruluo Xi surrendered. Ruluo Zhongzhou was weak and could not compete with it. King Ruluo Zhong led the people of the city and his civil and military ministers out of the city to welcome the army into the city, surrendered, and the South China Sea was unified. The ant king named himself the King of South China Sea.

On the Mid-Autumn Festival on September 10th of the same year, King Ruluo Xi, King Ruluo Zhong, and Ruluo Nanzhou Prefecture went to Qingshui River, the capital of the ant tribe, to pay homage to the King of Nanhai. The King of Nanhai held a grand banquet in the Palace of the King of Ants for King Ruluo West, King Ruluo Middle, and the Prefect of Ruluo Nanzhou. Just as a couplet said: "The people of Wufu are peaceful and peaceful, and the rivers are clear and the sea is peaceful." Yan Hude returned to the waves of thousands of hectares." Huang Zhong Da Lu, the performance is about the achievements of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty, herding horses in Nanshan, the world is unified, there is no war, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the peace and prosperity are prosperous, and the song is praised. At the banquet, King Ruluo West and King Ruluo Zhong took their own royal titles and were granted the titles of Ruluo Xizhou Prefecture and Ruluo Zhongzhou Prefecture. Like Chu Huang, Ruluo Nanzhou Prefecture Mu, they were both feudal officials. , jointly manage the South China Sea. In early October, King Nanhai offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple and built a large tripod. The tripod is engraved with mountains, rivers and seas. The tripod has six tripods, and the bodies of the tripod are respectively engraved with the mountains and terrain of the Ant Tribe, the Termite Tribe, Huayizhou, Ruluo Xizhou, Ruluo Zhongzhou, and Ruluo Nanzhou. These six tripods are placed in front of the Ancestral Temple. The bronze tripod weighs a thousand catties, just like a king carrying a thousand catties of burden for his subjects in the world. On October 12 of the same year, King Nanhai offered sacrifices to heaven and earth at Limu Mountain. Limu Mountain is located in Qiongzhong of the South China Sea. It has been a famous mountain in the South China Sea since ancient times. It is the holy land of the Li people and the ancestral mountain of the Li people. Nusu, one of the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, corresponds to Limu Mountain. This mountain has steep terrain, vast forests, and is famous for its many waterfalls. The mountain is tall, with an altitude of about 1,412 meters. The King of Nanhai, wearing a crown, walked up slowly, knelt on the top of the mountain, closed his eyes to meditate or read out his achievements, and went up to heaven to pray for the peace of the country and the people, abundant grains, stability and prosperity in the world, and called himself the Southern Emperor.

The South China Sea was unified, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment from now on. Xiao Yi's wish came true, and it was time to leave the South China Sea and continue heading north. In the early morning of this day, the birds in the forest were chirping, Wuzhi Mountain was peaceful, and the sea of ​​clouds was rolling. The sun rises in the east, maybe this is the last time Xiao Yi watched the sunrise on Wuzhishan Mountain. Accompanied by Yan Sangzi and Jia Yi, we sat in the pavilion and played the music of Mountains and Flowing Waters, saying that we had met a close friend thousands of miles away and it was hard to leave. The little ant faced the swordsmith, bowed and said, "Sir, thank you for teaching me the music." The swordsmith replied, "There is no such thing as a banquet in the world, and you still have to leave when it's time to go. Go and realize your ideal." Let's go." The little ant bowed again, walked up to the house ant, and said: "The house ant, you and I have been close friends for many years, and we are already close friends." The house ant looked at the little ant and said, "Little ant, take care of yourself along the way." The little ant said: "House ant, you too, take care." The little ant took a few steps back, turned around and walked out of the pavilion, went down the mountain and looked behind him, and stood for a long time before leaving.

The little ant is preparing to go north and walk in the market. The market is buzzing with insects. The unified ant tribe is free from the harassment of war, and the people can live in peace. On the bustling streets with endless traffic, the sound of insects is buzzing like a pot of boiling water. The little ant was walking on the busy street, looking around and felt a little relieved. Isn't this what it wanted to see? A peaceful scene. Standing in front of the high pavilion, looking up. The waiter walked out and greeted Xiao Yi, "Are you here to stay or have a meal?" Xiao Yi replied, "Stay at the hotel." The waiter welcomed Xiao Yi in and stood in front of the counter. The shop owner at the counter looked up and was stunned when he saw Xiao Yi in front of him, and said: "Xiang Guo, Big Yi." Xiao Yi smiled and said: "I am no longer the Prime Minister, just like you, I am a commoner, so the shop owner shouldn't be like this "Name." The shop owner said to the waiter: "Hurry up and arrange a first-class room for this guest." Xiao Yi said: "I don't have much money with me, so I'll give you a lower-class room." The shop owner saw the kind expression of Xiao Yi in front of him. Face, said: "You are kind to our people, we don't know how to repay you, I ask you, sir, you can stay here with peace of mind." During the period when Xiao Yi was in power, the policies implemented were close to the people and won the support of the people. With support and love, even after the reunification of the Ant clan, the policies implemented were still pro-people policies, which led to today's prosperity. This was also the foundation laid by Xiao Yi. The name of Xiaoyi is a household name among the ant tribe. It can be said that he is famous all over the world. He is also a wise man in the world, so the shop owner is naturally familiar with it. Xiao Yi said: "How can this be allowed?" The shop owner said: "This is my wish, sir, please don't refuse." Xiao Yi said: "I accept your wish, let's stay in a lower-class room." The waiter in the shop said Only take it into the lower room. Xiao Yi entered the guest room and looked around. The waiter then said: "Sir, you have a noble status, but the lower class rooms are simple. I feel aggrieved." The little ant said: "There is no distinction between high and low insects, they are all treated equally." The little yi looked around again and said: "Only one of them is sleeping. The place is fine, why ask for more?" The waiter said: "Sir, have a good rest, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, he exited and closed the door.

As night falls, the full moon hangs high in the sky. Tonight is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the evening breeze is slightly cool. Little Ant climbed up to the attic alone and sat in the private room. The owner brought the side dishes and a bottle of sake and put them down and said: "This is our restaurant's signature dish. Please use it slowly, sir." Then he exited. Xiao Yi walked out with a pot of sake, leaning against the railing and looking up, drinking and reciting a poem:

An insect is born in a dream, and life and death are only a moment. A pot of sake and a drunkenness are like fireworks. There are many worries and worries, and the clouds curl up between your fingers. The seats are full of distinguished guests, drinking and drinking, the lights in the high pavilion are dim, and there are thousands of palaces. Looking down thousands of miles, the world of mortals is colorful, and the insects are drunk even if the wine is not drunk. After many twists and turns, the wind and rain that night battered and damaged my body. Whose house will the flowers fall on? Looking for guests under the willows, floating catkins and dust, romantic under the flowers, chatting leisurely.

At dawn, the shopkeeper pulled out a carriage and said, "Using it will save some effort, sir." The little ant kowtowed and said, "Thank you." Then he got on the carriage and drove away. The shopkeeper stood behind and waved, saying: "Good riddance, sir."

After passing the Qingshui River, I stood on the bank of the Qingshui River and looked at the capital city on the other side. This is the place where it was born and raised. It is a special souvenir. I drove the carriage and wandered outside the city for a while, and then left.

Outside the city, there is a lonely tomb thousands of miles away, and there is no place to talk about the desolation. This is the tomb of the clan elders. Xiao Yi squatted in front of the family elder's curtain, pulled out the weeds on the grave, cleaned it, burned a stick of incense, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said: "Grandpa, my grandson is leaving here. The king has unified the South China Sea, and the people live and work in peace and contentment." , your wish has been fulfilled, it’s time to leave, let your grandson spend the last night with you." A straw shed was built next to the tomb, and the little ant sat in the straw shed, and there was a poem:

Last night there was a strong wind, with slight waves rising and falling. All the wild grass is withered, the cloud cliffs are green and the sky is clear.

It was getting dark gradually, and the sky was filled with stars. The little ant sat in the thatched shed, watching the oil lamp in front of him, flickering in the wind. After a day's journey, maybe I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep with my head propped up, and I fell asleep with my head propped on the desk. The lamp flame in front of me flickered and became a little blurry. At this time, I heard an old voice coming, saying: "Grandson, grandson!" Xiao Yi raised his head, looked at the weak light in front of him, looked around again, and said: "Grandpa, grandpa, grandson misses you. Where are you?" An old ant dragged his slow pace and staggered into the hay shed. Looking at the aggrieved look on his grandson's face, he said: "Grandson! Even if there are millions of ants who misunderstand You, grandpa believes you are filial. What are you thinking? Just do it boldly, grandpa believes you will succeed."
