After Xiang Guo finished speaking, he still stared into its eyes. It was obvious that its eyes were beginning to wander, and it was even beginning to be frightened. The Prime Minister looked up to the sky and walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a big smile. There was cold sweat sliding down the fox's forehead. He immediately took out a sweat towel to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and then followed out.
Xiangguo was escorted in front of General Cockroach. The soldier behind him kicked the crook of his legs and shouted: "Kneel down." Xiangguo stood up resolutely and said: "I am the third generation of ministers, loyally assisting the king of Zhongshan. You What is it again? He is just a bereaved dog sent by the Qin State. How can he kneel down to you, a young man?" General Cockroach raised his wine bottle to taste the wine and said, "What a good wine!" He then faced the Prime Minister and said, " Okay, Prime Minister, you can take a sip." The Prime Minister made a sound of "poof", sprayed saliva on its face, and said, "How can I drink with you?" General Cockroach poured the wine on its face and said : "Don't dirty my bottle of fine wine." Then he poured another bottle of wine, sat in front of several cases, and said: "Put it on the execution platform." The Prime Minister scolded: "Traitor, you disobeyed and committed regicide, and you will not be allowed to do so in the future. A good death, a bad death." Xiang Guo was led to the execution platform and tied to a wooden stake. Behind them, each stood with an axe-hand. General Cockroach put the wine bottle on the table, turned around and said: "You are the ones who deceived the king to kill me. You are unkind. This general is doing this to clear the emperor's side and kill you who deceived the ministers. The assassination of the king is not unjust to me, kill him!" "The sword and ax fell, and all the ministers who opposed it were chopped in half on the execution platform, and their blood was spread on the execution platform.
At this time, a soldier came forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the dead soldier Gongque led the prince to fight out of Gucheng." General Cockroach leaned down and said: "What did you say? The prince ran away." The soldier looked at General Cockroach's eyes filled with murderous intent said: "Yes." General Cockroach pressed the hilt of his scimitar and said: "You idiots, you can't kill a dead soldier, why don't you hurry up and chase him." The soldier stood up. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, General Cockroach stood behind him and said, "You stay." The soldier stopped, feeling his spine numb, and said, "Your Majesty." General Cockroach stood behind him and pulled out his hand. He slashed down with his scimitar, and then kicked the soldier in the back. The soldier rolled down the stone steps and died. General Cockroach said: "Those who fail in doing things will be killed!" Then he led his troops out of the city and chased them.
There was peace on the vast grassland, with cattle and horses grazing, and the quiet grassland leisurely appearing in the Nanshan Mountains. However, the peace was broken by the rushing cavalry. Only the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. These herdsmen saw a cavalry rushing towards here, driving cattle and sheep in a panic. These cavalrymen rushed forward and killed them, and the people who were grazing fell to the ground in a pool of blood and died. They rushed into the herdsmen's area, killing insects on sight, and stained the sunset with blood. There was not a single living person within hundreds of miles. They were trying to exterminate the species!
The dead soldier Gongque and the prince drove the chariot all the way. All they saw along the way were the corpses of the people, lying in a mess on the grassland, with many stab wounds on their bodies. The people here were brutally slaughtered, which made the prince very sad after seeing it. There is a village in front, which is a Han area, with thick smoke rising. The dead man looked at the prince behind him and said, "Your Highness, please sit down." The prince looked at Gongque, who was driving the car in front of him, and said, "Gongque, kill all these traitors for me."
Death Soldier Gongque drove towards the village, pulled out the long sword from his waist, looked up and heard the sound of horse hooves. The dead soldier Gongque jumped off the chariot and stood in front of the chariot. The prince stood on the chariot and watched the battle. A group of cavalry rushed towards them and surrounded them. A cavalry general rode out slowly on his horse and said, "Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Gongque, the dead soldier, said, "I'm here specifically to kill you beasts." He moved his sword forward. , the cavalry approached, surrounding them tightly and turning around. The dead soldier Gongque slashed off the horse's legs with his sword. The young general fell off his horse and retreated in panic. The dead soldier Gongque ran forward at high speed, stabbed out with his sword, and the young general fell into a pool of blood. These cavalrymen rushed forward and struck down with their swords several times, while Gongque blocked them with his horizontal sword. The long sword came down and chopped off a cavalryman's arm. He fell off the horse and rolled in pain. Gongque stepped forward to take its life, then mounted his horse to catch up with it. He fought with it, his swords collided with each other, and he swung his sword to split the armor of these cavalrymen. The armor cracked and they fell off their horses one after another. Only one cavalryman was left, seeing how brave it was, and fled away on his war horse. Gongque rode behind him in hot pursuit. He swung his sword and saw an insect head fall to the ground, killing every one of them.
The dead soldier Gongque ran back on horseback, dismounted in front of the chariot, stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Highness is frightened." Seeing Gongque in front of him, the prince smiled and said: "Gongque, your swordsmanship is very good, teach me Right." The dead man Gongque asked: "Why does your highness want to learn swordsmanship?" The prince just said two words, "Revenge." The dead man Gongque refused and said: "Your highness is inappropriate." The prince was full of emotions. He asked with a puzzled face: "Why?" Death Soldier Gongque explained: "What your Highness wants to learn is the way of governing the country, not my swordsmanship."
Seeing that it was already getting late, the dead soldier Gongque said, "Seeing that it is getting dark, Your Highness, we'd better find a place to rest for the night and start our journey again tomorrow." The prince said, "Okay." The dead soldier Gongque led the war horse and The chariot turned around and saw a insect house here. The courtyard wall was in tatters. It seemed that it had been looted by these cavalry. He turned behind him and said, "Your Highness, let's rest here." Sitting on the battlefield The prince on the chariot said: "Okay." The dead soldier Gongque stood in front of the chariot and stretched out his hand to help the prince down. He pushed down the courtyard door. Dust was flying. Gongque and the prince walked in and waved away the dust that hit their faces. They were hungry again. . The prince said: "Gongque, I'm a little hungry, go find some food." Gongque stepped forward and stood in front of the war horse, and killed the war horse with a sword. The prince was shocked when he saw it and said: "Gongque, you, you." Gongque didn't say anything, but still went his own way, sat down and started a fire. Use the sword to chop it, remove the horse's legs, and put them on the fire to grill. Gongque sat next to the prince and said: "If I leave your highness and the pursuers arrive, your highness will be in danger. Please forgive me for not leaving your highness for half a step." Then he presented the roasted horse legs. The prince took the offered horse leg, took a few bites, and said: "I know your loyalty. If one day I avenge you, and ascend the throne, I will make you the general of our Zhongshan Kingdom and command the troops of our Zhongshan Kingdom." Horse." Gongque said: "Gongque has a low status and may not be able to hold a big position. Gongque is deeply favored by the Prime Minister and is only willing to be loyal to the Prime Minister. He will complete the mission entrusted to him by the Prime Minister and send His Highness to Wei safely. ." The prince just said: "Loyal people, there are too few insects like you." Then he walked into the thatched house and started to rest.
Gongque stood outside the thatched house, guarding the prince's safety. Looking up at the night sky, suddenly there were dark clouds coming and lightning kept coming. It seemed like it was going to rain. Thunder roared and it started to rain heavily. Wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, Gongque stood in the pouring rain. At this time, there was the sound of horse hooves, and there were pursuers running towards here. Gongque entered the thatched house to wake up the prince. The prince opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "Gongque, what happened?" Gongque squatted in front of the prince and said, "There are pursuers in the distance." The prince was a little panicked. , said: "Gongque, let's escape quickly. As long as we escape from Zhongshan Kingdom, we will be safe." Gongque said: "We can't escape." The prince asked doubtfully: "Why?" He even started to be afraid. , looking towards the Dead Soldiers Gongque. Gongque said: "Listen to the sound of their horse hooves, the army is near us, and there are quite a lot of troops. If you escape from here, they will find you and kill them. Your Highness, it is better to wait for their arrival here and fight to the death." Fight." The prince immediately calmed down and said: "Okay, okay, what you said makes sense, makes sense." He continued to comfort himself. Gongque said: "Your Highness, you stay here. No matter what happens outside, don't come out." The prince nodded quickly and said: "Okay, okay." Gongque stood up, kowtowed and bowed out.
The prince immediately hid in a piece of straw, hoping that if he could escape this day, everything would be fine. Gongque walked out and stood in the heavy rain, waiting for their arrival. The pursuers rushed into the courtyard gate, looked at Gongque who was standing in front of him, and said: "Gongque, hand over the prince, and I will spare your life." Gongque said: "If you want the prince, you have to step over my body. ." Then Gongque pulled out his long sword, and the rainwater hit the long sword and slowly flowed down. A general led his soldiers forward and surrounded the Gongque in the middle. Gongque squinted at the surrounding soldiers and generals, and attacked together. Gongque stepped forward across the air, his long sword came out and rotated, and the falling rain flowers flew out. When he landed, he swung his sword out, blocked and collided with several knives, and turned around to cut through their throats. Fall down. General Cockroach drove out, stood on the chariot, and shouted: "Dead soldier Gongque, you killed several of our generals. Now that the prime minister is dead, why bother to work so hard for him?" Gongque looked at Cockroach. The general said: "Gongque was born as a dead soldier, and he has put life and death aside for a long time. Since Gongque defected to the lord, he has been valued by the lord, respected as a warrior, and accepted the great responsibility of the lord. If the general cannot let the prince go today, Gongque will lose his trust. In the world, Gongque can only fight to the death." General Cockroach said: "I heard that the dead soldier Gongque is a loyal and righteous man, and today I saw that he is indeed a well-deserved reputation. Okay, you can go." Gongque kowtowed and said: "Thank you, General, for not killing me. Thank you for your kindness." Just as Gongque turned to leave, General Cockroach suddenly spoke, saying: "Wait a minute, dead man." Gongque turned around and said, "The general regrets something." General Cockroach said: "I only promise not to kill you. Prince, please stay." Then he faced the troops and said, "From today onwards, Gongque will be given to me as a member of the Cockroach Clan, and all the officers and men will treat him as a soldier of the country." Gongque kowtowed and said, "Thank you, General, for your appreciation. Gongque has been greatly favored by his lord. He will serve his lord in this life and cannot serve two masters." The generals stepped forward and said, "Gongque, you are brave." Gongque showed his bloody sword and said, "General, I am If we don't let the prince go, Gongque will have no choice but to fight to the death." General Cockroach, standing on the chariot, said: "Let's go." The army withdrew.
Gongque entered the thatched house and called out: "Your Highness, Your Highness." Seeing the pile of straw in front of him, he opened the straw. The prince showed his head and asked: "Gongque, are we safe?" Gongque replied: "Your Highness, we are already safe." The prince stood up and walked out of the straw pile, pulled Gongque's sleeves, and looked up. : "Gongque, we'd better leave quickly. If the pursuers come again, we won't be able to leave." Gongque said: "Your Highness, don't be anxious, the pursuers will not come again. We will wait until the rain stops tomorrow." Let's go on our way." The prince nodded and said, "Okay, Gongque, I believe you." Gongque bowed and left, standing outside the thatched hut, guarding the prince's safety.
On the way back to the city, a general was very puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you kill Gongque, get rid of the prince, and eliminate the hidden dangers in our Zhongshan Kingdom?" General Cockroach replied: "The prince is nothing to worry about, Gongque is nothing to worry about. Que is a loyal man, if we kill Gong Que, we will break the trust of the world, and other vassal states will use this to attack us, especially Zhao State, which is the only military power that can compete with Qin."
The next day, General Cockroach wore a crown and uniform, pressed the hilt of his scimitar, slowly climbed onto the high platform, and ascended the throne as king. The name of the country was still Zhongshan Kingdom, and he was the Cockroach King of Zhongshan Kingdom. tyrant.
On this day, a caravan came from the Kingdom of Zhao and passed through the territory of the Kingdom of Zhongshan. They rested in the dense forest and started to make fire and cook. Unexpectedly, they attracted a group of cavalry from the Kingdom of Zhongshan. A merchant stood up and said, "Where do you cavalry come from? We are merchants who went to Qin to do business, passing through your Zhongshan Kingdom." A general rode out slowly and said: "You are the bandits who assassinated the previous king. Don't think that we can't recognize you just because you're pretending to be businessmen. You should die." These cavalrymen didn't listen to the businessmen's excuses. They pulled out their sabers and charged forward, slashing wildly, causing blood to fly. These caravans died under their butcher knives, and their blood flowed freely. These cavalrymen dismounted and opened the packages they carried. They saw that they were full of jewels, gold and silver, and they sat on the ground to share the spoils. Push several carts of goods down the cliff, smash them to pieces, cut off their heads and go back to receive the reward.
