No matter how reluctant the old white ant was, the little ant still left. Xiao Yi exited Big Yi's study and turned around to walk out of Bai Mansion. At this time, he felt relaxed. The old white ant stood up and stood in front of the window. He looked through the window and looked at the leaving figure of the little ant. He sighed: "The one who wanted to leave has left after all. It's a pity, it's a pity."
After the little ant left, the white old ant walked out of the Bai Mansion and entered the Queen Zhao's harem to pay homage to his daughter Bai Shao. Bai Lao Yi stood in the hall outside the palace and waited. Bai Shao walked out from the curtain and said, "Father." Bai Lao Yi knelt down and saluted, saying: "Queen." Bai Shao immediately helped Bai Lao Yi, Said: "Father, please get up quickly." Bai Shao stood in front of the old ant Bai Shao, knelt down and said: "Father." The old ant Bai Shao helped Bai Shao up and said: "Shao'er, get up quickly. Come on, this can't be done, it can't be done." The old white ant helped Bai Shao up, and the father and daughter sat down together. The old white ant looked at Bai Shao and said hello: "How is the king treating you?" Bai Shao said: "The king is very good to me. Please don't worry, father." The old white ant said: "Mothers value their children. The king will not just I pamper you, and I will have more concubines in the future. You must give birth to an heir for the king as soon as possible. Only in this way can you keep your position as queen in the harem." Bai Shao just nodded silently. Bai Shao asked again: "The king was not in the queen's palace today." Bai Shao replied: "The king went out early in the morning."
Zhao Wangyong went to find his master, Bufan, early in the morning. Zhao Wangyong entered the palace wall courtyard and called out: "Sir, sir." The swordsman Liao Bufan walked out and immediately knelt down and bowed three times, saying: "Your Majesty." Zhao Wangyong said: "Sir, please get down." Zhao Wangyong and the swordsman said Bufan walked into the pavilion one after another and sat down. After Zhao Wangyong sat down, he said: "Yesterday, Widow Chong and Xiao Yi had a sword duel on the stage. What do you think, sir?" Swordsman Liao Bufan hesitated for a moment and said, "Does the king want someone to tell the truth? Are you telling lies?" Zhao Wangyong looked at the swordsman Liao Bufan and said: "Of course it is the truth, sir, tell it quickly." The swordsman Liao Bufan said: "Your Majesty, if the sword in Xiao Yi's hand is not broken, your Majesty may not be able to defeat him. Xiao Yi. Although Xiao Yi is a literary insect, his superb swordsmanship amazes me. I wonder where Xiao Yi learned from him?" I thought that the swordsman Liao Bufan would praise him a few words, but what I didn't expect was that Liao Bufan said something like He poured cold water on him and said, "Sir, I think the swordsmanship of the little insect is not as good as that of the little ant." Swordsman Liao Bufan observed that Zhao Wangyong's face looked a little embarrassed and said, "The king's swordsmanship may not be as good as that of the little ant. That's because the king has distracting thoughts. There was some hesitation when drawing the sword, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it." The swordsman Liao Bufan looked at the attendants on the left and right, and said: "Get a sword from a certain family."
Swordsman Liao Bufan took the sword from the attendant's hand, saw the long sword unsheathed, jumped out of the pavilion, the long sword flew in the air, and the long sword controlled by his hand flew away like sword flowers. Before Zhao Wangyong could see clearly, the swordsman Liao Bufan had put away his long sword and stood outside the pavilion, saying: "The insect is the sword, the sword is the insect, the insect sword is one, and you must thrust out this sword without hesitation. This is Killing in ten steps, one sword strike can make the little ant die immediately under the king's sword. Furthermore, the little ant is a minister, and the king is the king. Every sword struck by the little ant is merciful. This is the so-called benevolence and righteousness. The restraints exposed many flaws, so the king only needs one sword to defeat the little ants." Zhao Wangyong stood up, clapped his hands and walked out, saying: "Sir, what you said is very good." Liao Bufan threw out his long sword and said: "Your Majesty Take the sword." Zhao Wangyong took the sword with one hand. Swordsman Liao Bufan said: "Insects can move. Are you ready, Your Majesty?" Then he picked up the leaves and showed them. Zhao Wangyong looked at the leaf in Swordsman Bufan's hand and said with a smile: "Widowworm is ready." A leaf popped out from his fingers, and the long sword in his hand drew out, and the flying leaf was cut in half. Several leaves popped out from his fingers. He leaned back and slid forward, and the flying leaves were cut in half. A handful of leaves were scattered, the body swooped up, and the sword was swung out. The scattered leaves were cut into two pieces. A sword pointed out, popped out from between the fingers, and the flying sword pierced the tree trunk. The swordsman looked at Bufan and said happily: "It took a certain family ten years to practice these ten steps and one kill. Your Majesty is very talented and has already figured it out. As long as your Majesty studies hard and practices hard, he can master it in less than a year." One kill in ten steps."
Zhao Wangyong walked up and pulled out the long sword inserted into the tree trunk. He looked at the long sword and fell into deep thought. Then he said: "The widowed insect and the little ant competed with each other, but the weapons had the upper hand. The widowed insect knows, the little ant has the upper hand. The sword in the ant's hand is the sword of benevolence and righteousness. The sword of benevolence and righteousness has been broken, benevolence and righteousness have been broken." Swordsman Liao Bufan failed to realize this, the king is still the king after all. The swordsman Liao Bufan said: "Your Majesty, I thought of the worm's heart from the sword of benevolence and righteousness. In fact, the little ant is walking the king's way. Benevolence and righteousness have been broken, and the only thing left is the king's way. Your Majesty, the little ant is hiding very deep." Zhao Wangyong was suddenly He was stunned and kept chanting: "The king's way, the king's way, heaven and earth, and all things are all connected together. The little ant is the real king, the ant king." He was suddenly frightened and broke into a cold sweat.
Zhao Wangyong immediately entered the palace, and then entered the harem to see Mr. Bai and the Queen. He said to Bai Shao behind him: "Queen, please step aside first." Bai Shao exited, and Zhao Wangyong immediately asked: "Uncle Wang, Is the little ant still in the White Mansion?" Big Bai said: "Your Majesty, the little ant has left the White Mansion." Zhao Wangyong was suddenly startled and said: "What?" He was stunned and immediately called in the armored soldiers. , said: "Catch the little ants immediately. Remember, you must not let the little ants leave Handan City. If the little ants resist, you can shoot them on the spot. You will see the dead insects or the corpses." Bai Shao immediately entered, Said: "Your Majesty." The white old ant stood up in surprise and said: "Your Majesty, why is this?" Zhao Wangyong said: "The little ant has amazing talents. He can rule the country with literature and can secure the country with martial arts. If he is not used by me, he will be. The other vassal states have important positions and will become the strong enemies of our Zhao State in the future. If you think about them, kill them!" The old white ant advised: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. The little ants are benevolent and righteous insects, lobbying Wei and Chu. The alliance between the big countries is a great contribution to our Zhao country. Xiao Yi has spread benevolence and righteousness in our Zhao country, and the people all believe in it. You are highly respected! If the king kills Xiao Yi at this time, the people will call you a fool. Han, Wei, The three great powers of Chu will abandon you, and Qin will take this opportunity to attack us. Our Zhao country is in danger!" Zhao Wangyong said anxiously: "You can't kill me, and you can't keep me here. Uncle Wang, what do you think I should do?" The old white ant said: "Xiao Yi is a gentleman, so the king would like to make a gentleman's acquaintance and give Xiao Yi a carriage and horse and travel expenses. Xiao Yi's sword of benevolence and righteousness has been broken, so the king will give it another sword of benevolence and righteousness. Xiao Yi I will be grateful to the king for his kindness. The people of our Zhao Kingdom will praise the king's benevolence and righteousness. If the king's benevolence and righteousness spreads to other vassal states, the other vassal states will ally with our Zhao Kingdom. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Zhao said! Wang Yong looked at these armored soldiers and said, "All of you, please retreat." He then helped Bai Shao, who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "Queen, please get up." He then called out, "Where is Changshun?" The eunuch Changshun walked out. He bowed and saluted and said: "Your Majesty." Zhao Wangyong said: "You must catch up with the little ant. You should understand the little worm's mind." He ordered his servant to take out the sword of benevolence and righteousness. Zhao Wangyong said: "This is a sword of benevolence and righteousness. , let’s give it to him together.” Changshun knelt down and said, “I obey the order.”
The great eunuch Changshun drove out of the royal city. Outside Handan City, he looked up and saw the lonely figure of Xiao Yi. Changshun drove up and called out: "Sir, please stay." Little Yi stopped and turned around to look. A carriage was running towards it and stopped in front of it. Changshun stepped off the carriage and stood in front of Xiao Yi. The little ant kowtowed and said, "The general manager is the great ant." The eunuch Changshun said, "Sir, the king hopes that you will stay in the Kingdom of Zhao. The king cherishes talents and loves talents!" The little ant said: "The king's wishes Xiao Yi is convinced." Changshun knew that he could not persuade Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi had already made up his mind to leave Zhao country, and no one could persuade him. Changshun presented the sword and said: "Your sword of benevolence and righteousness has been broken. This is the sword of benevolence and righteousness given to you by the king. Go and spread your benevolence and righteousness. When you travel around the country, you must travel through mountains and rivers. The carriage behind the Zajia family is Your leg strength and some road supplies in the car are all the king's support for you." Xiao Yi took the sword of benevolence and righteousness, looked at the long sword, was deeply moved, raised the sword of benevolence and righteousness, and knelt down He looked up to the sky and shouted: "Your Majesty." Changshun stood aside and said: "The Master's wishes will be conveyed to the Zajia family. Please get up, Master." The little ant stood up and said: "The kindness of the King is as deep as the sea. The little ant can't think of it. There is nothing I can do to repay you." Changshun said: "Young master, all you need to do is remember this kindness from your Majesty. Go ahead." Xiao Yi bowed and saluted and said: "General Manager, Xiao Yi takes his leave." Changshun waved. Waving his hands, he said: "Go, go." Xiao Yi got on the carriage behind him and drove away.
The swordsman Liao Bufan knew that Zhao Wangyong would be merciful in the end, because it was expected that Xiao Yi would be released in name. In the swordsman Liao Bufan's heart, as long as the little ants are around, they will always be a threat to the king and the State of Zhao. In order to relieve the king's heartache, he followed the rules of the rivers and lakes and assassinated the little ants in the name of a private insect. He walked out of the palace wall compound, entered the barracks, stole a military chariot, rushed out of Handan City, and went out of Handan to chase Xiao Yi. I saw a carriage driving ahead. Liao Bufan stood on the chariot and shouted: "Little ant, don't leave." Liao Bufan rushed over in the chariot and blocked the way of ant. Xiao Yi stopped the car, got out and stood in front of the chariot, looked up and said, "Who are you?" Liao Bufan stood on the chariot and said, "Do you know who I am? You only need to know today next year. It's your memorial day." Xiao Yi saw that he was clearly a knight-errant, and said, "I have no enmity with you on weekdays, why are you chasing me?" Liao Bufan jumped off the chariot, He drew his sword and pointed it out, saying: "If you want to leave, leave your head behind."
Xiao Yi then pulled out the sword of benevolence and righteousness in his hand and looked at Bufan. The long sword came forward, stabbing the little ant's vitals with each move, killing the little ant. Xiao Yi slid back, his long sword whirling, the two swords collided, and he successfully avoided the extraordinary attack. Liao Bufan saw that Little Ant was showing mercy and asked, "What's this trick?" Little Ant replied, "This trick is to retreat." At that time, during the great war between Jin and Chu, that is, in 632 BC, Duke Wen of Jin He kept the promise he made to King Cheng of Chu, retreated his troops, went to Chengpu to fight the Chu army, and finally defeated the Chu state. However, the little ant retreated step by step to avoid its sharp edge, using the move of retreating. Liao Bufan continued to draw out his sword, and the sword in Xiao Yi's hand flew out. He took the move and quickly stopped the attack. The two swords blocked each other. The long sword approached the side, the blade went downwards, and crossed Bu Fan's arm, and then lightly With a slight click, the long sword in Liao Bufan's hand fell to the ground.
