The prince of Wei drove out of the city, looked up at his father and queen on the city tower, and called out: "Father, king and queen, I may not be able to serve your parents when I go to Qin." Wei Guofu Chong stood on the city tower and said: "En'er, we are waiting for you to come back safely in Daliang." The prince of Wei knew that he would not be able to return to Wei until he left for Qin. He felt that there was no hope of returning, so he didn't say anything and just looked up at the tower. Bowing deeply and saluting, he called out: "Father, the child is gone." King Wei waved and said: "En'er, after arriving in Qin, I often passed down family letters and widows." The prince just said: "Okay." Then drove off. Go west.
The Death Soldier Gongque stood in front of the tomb of the prince of Zhongshan. It failed to protect the prince and caused the prince who was a guest in Wei to die tragically in the rebellion. This is the reason why it cannot forgive itself. Feeling deeply guilty and having failed the entrustment of the Prime Minister of Zhongshan Kingdom, he decided to assassinate and avenge the dead prince.
Before the Cockroach King's drive, a bug stood in front of the frame. The soldiers stepped forward to surround it, and the long soldiers slowly approached. Gongque showed the sword in his hand and vowed to fight to the death. The Cockroach King got off the carriage and said, "Don't be rude. Please step aside." After getting off the car, he stood in front of Luan Jia and said, "Gongque, the prince is dead. You have been loyal to me. The door is always open to you. If you join our Cockroach Clan, your future will be bright." Gongque said, "You came from a bad way and stole from our Zhongshan Kingdom. The subjects of our Zhongshan Kingdom have regarded you as a national thief and a traitor. Suffer death." He pulled out his sword, stepped forward, and stabbed out with the sword. The Cockroach King stood up and closed his eyes, then opened his eyes and saw that the tip of the sword was very close to its throat. At this time, Gongque began to hesitate. The Cockroach King asked: "Why don't you stab it? With this stab of the sword, you can avenge your master. Avenging your master will bring your loyalty to a successful conclusion." Gongque put away the sword and sheathed it. , said: "It was your compassion that saved you at that time. I owe you everything, and I will pay it back as well. Let's make an end in the sand dunes tomorrow. You can go." The Cockroach King said a good word , turned around and drove away.
Gongque turned around and looked at the leaving army of cockroaches, feeling even more mixed in his heart. He couldn't tell what it was like. We found a thatched hut and spent the night. That night, there was lightning and thunder, and it rained heavily. The heavy rain kept falling. Gongque fell asleep among the straw with his sword in his arms. Until dawn, the sky began to clear. It walked out of the thatched house alone, looked at the sun rising from the east, picked up the long sword and walked slowly into the distance, thinking that it would never show mercy this time. The Cockroach King drove out of the city, and a minister caught up with him on horseback and said, "Your Majesty, you should lead the troops. Only in this way can you ensure your safety." The Cockroach King sat on the carriage and said, "I am going to see the dead soldier. Que, what are you doing with your troops?" The minister said worriedly: "Gong Que is a desperado, and the king may be in danger of his life when he leaves the city this time." The Cockroach King said: "Your loyal friend already knows, but you don't want to Forgot, Gongque is a loyal man, and he is braver than a worm, and with a large army, his life is in danger, so you only need to return to the city and wait for orders."
The Cockroach King drove to the sand dunes to meet Gong Que. The place is filled with yellow sand, and the flying dust and sand are covered with a layer of yellow. The scene of a desert with solitary smoke and a long river with a setting sun. Gongque stood in the yellow sand, raised his sword and said, "Please pull out your sword." The Cockroach King abandoned his sword and picked up his sword, facing Gongque who was standing opposite him, and said, "There is no need to draw your sword. In fact, there is no need to pull out your sword." I already have a sharp sword in my heart. I am the hilt of the sword, and you are the blade. It points directly at the world, and the world will be shaken by it." Gongque said: "The blade of your sword is stained with the blood of the people. I don’t know how many innocent souls died tragically. The sword of disloyalty and unjustness, you and I, do not work together." The Cockroach King said: "In today's troubled times, there is no loyalty at all, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their own goals. Your late king The plan is to put me to death. If I don't strike first, I will be the one who dies in the future. Do you think the late king was upright? It's a pity that you were born in troubled times and are out of tune with reality." Gongque pulled out his long sword and said: " The late king took you in and promoted you to the general of the Zhongshan Kingdom. This was a kindness to you. You did not want to repay it and used the Qin Kingdom to threaten the late king. This is unkind and unjust on your part. You brutally killed the people and you were wanton with your kind subjects. Massacre, you are unfaithful and unfilial. Heaven, earth, king, relatives, teachers, the king is respected as much as heaven and earth. You killed the king, usurped the throne, and committed the crime below, but you are justifiable. You are really a heinous crime, traitor, today I am here to get you Life is firstly for the king, for the prince, to avenge the people of the world, and secondly to do justice for heaven." Gongque jumped up and stabbed out with a sword. The Cockroach King drew his sword, loosened his grip, and the long sword fell to the ground. He spread his hands to meet its stab. Seeing the momentum, Gongque swung his sword and cut open its brocade robe, injuring a bit of flesh. Gongque stood facing it. The Cockroach King said: "Gu's sword has no meaning anymore. I will die in your hands. I will die without regrets. Just do it." The Cockroach King looked up and closed his eyes. The long sword in Gongque's hand was placed on its neck. The Cockroach King felt a hint of coldness on the edge of the sword, suddenly opened his eyes, and said: "It seems that the one who understands you best is Gu. Gu can be your confidant. Gu tells you that if you kill Gu, General Zhongshan will If a group of dragons is leaderless and falls into a melee, Zhao will take advantage of the chaos and kill more people. Where is your loyalty?" The long sword in Gongque's hand slipped and cut off its robe. He said: "My great revenge has been avenged. You can leave. Don't let me see you again." The Cockroach King already knew in his heart that he would not kill a defenseless insect, nor would he take advantage of the insect's power. This is Gongque's most fatal weakness, and he said this with emotion and reason.
In the land of Yanzhao, many heroes emerged in large numbers. In this troubled world where you are fighting against me, there are many heroes of troubled times. Gongque's loyalty, in this era of mutual conquest, may be out of date, as the Cockroach King said, being repeatedly crushed by the wheels of history, and temporarily sinking in the long river. By the time of the Great Rebellion, the so-called Loyalty comes to the surface and becomes more multifaceted before our eyes.
Gongque stood under a dead tree, bowing his head and looking up. The crow circles the tree and smacks three times, but where can it rely on? Polishing the long sword in his hand, the cold light approached. Kneeling in front of the dead tree, he shouted: "Your Majesty, Prince, I am unable to avenge you. I have betrayed the trust of the Prime Minister and the country, and I have no face to see you under the Nine Springs." After this battle, the Wei State was defeated. , the position of the Cockroach King is secure. If the Cockroach King is killed, the Zhongshan Kingdom will fall into turmoil, and then it will be an eternal evil insect. In shame, he raised his sword and killed himself. Blood spurted out and he fell into a pool of blood. Finally, look up at the color of the sky, which begins to darken as the sun sets.
In the weeds, there are long walls built of bones. Crows fly around and chirp, or stay on the long walls built of bones. This may be to show off the immortal achievements of the Cockroach King. Let history witness that they Zhongshan State once defeated the powerful Wei State.
The Cockroach King entered the city with an exhausted body. The Prime Minister Hu Zifu and hundreds of civil and military officials greeted him outside the palace hall. Everyone who saw him knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty." The Cockroach King said feebly: "You all get up." Suddenly stopping again, the cockroach king claimed to be the confidant of the dead soldier Gongque. At this time, it had guessed that Gongque would commit suicide out of shame, so he drove to the sand dunes with his soldiers. I saw Gongque's body covered by yellow sand. The Cockroach King stood on the chariot and was stunned. He jumped off the chariot and slowly stepped forward. He lay down and dug away the yellow sand. Facing Gongque's cold corpse, he showed a sad expression and said: "Gongque, Gu is late. You are also Gu's confidant. Only you can understand Gu. After your death, Gu will lose a confidant like you." Xiang Guo's son and father rushed forward and knelt before the Cockroach King. Beside him, he said: "Your Majesty." The Cockroach King stood up and said: "Let Gongque be buried with honors as a state official."
At night, Gongque's body was put into a coffin. A large coffin made of golden nanmu stood outside the tent. There were the sun, moon and stars in the sky, and a wizard danced on the ground to save the soul of the deceased. In the early morning of the next day, Gongque's coffin was escorted out of the city by the ministers of civil and military affairs. People lined the streets and wept and followed him. Later, there were hundreds of slaves who buried Gongque next to the prince's tomb. The prince is accompanied by the deceased soldier Gongque, so he should be able to rest in peace. The chariots and horses were led into the tomb, along with gold, silver, jade and silk, and hundreds of slaves were buried with them. Cover it with loess. No matter how evil or perverted the insect is, it, like humans, always has a trace of kindness. It is precisely because it has a trace of kindness that it can win enough public support for itself. The Cockroach King sat calmly on the court, facing the civil and military officials below.
After Xiao Yi and his disciples were separated in the chaos of war, he stood guard at the city gate all day long, waiting for his disciples to come back again, to return to him, but he didn't think about food or tea, worried about him. These disciples will encounter any danger, and they are getting thinner day by day. General Dao Yan walked out of the city gate, stood next to Xiao Yi, and said: "Sir, I have sent soldiers out of the city to search. Sir, please rest assured, we will meet with these disciples of yours in a few days." Xiao Yi Looking into the distance, he said, "Remember, don't disturb the people." General Dao Yan said, "I've written it down." Xiao Yi turned around and kowtowed, "Xiao Yi, thank you, General." Dao Yan faced Xiao Yi, kowtowed in return, He looked at Little Yi and said, "Sir." Little Yi continued to look into the distance, looking into the distance quietly without saying a word.
On another hilltop, his disciples met again and cheered together, saying: "Zisang, Ziwen, Zizheng, Zizhang, Shangfu, we can be together again." Ziwen said again: "Let's go find Sir, I wonder where he is?" Then he looked at Shang Fu and said, "Shang Fu, you are the smartest among our disciples, and you have extensive connections among insects. You can find out your whereabouts." Shang Fu said. "Zi and I are going down the mountain to investigate, and we are about to tell you." Zi Wen asked urgently, "How is my husband?" Shang Fu said, "My husband has entered the city. We can see him when we go down the mountain." Standing behind them, Zi Zheng said: "Wait a minute." Zi Zheng looked at the wounded soldier lying on the ground, slowly stepped forward and pulled out the long sword from his waist. Ziwen stepped forward to stop him and said, "Zizheng, what are you going to do?" Zizheng said angrily: "It is a cockroach soldier. It does all kinds of evil and has killed many of our people. I want to kill it." Wen Dao: "How did you teach us, sir, that benevolent people love insects, have you forgotten?" Zi Zheng put the long sword in his hand forward and said, "I want to kill all the evil insects in the world so that they will no longer do evil in the world. Ziwen pointed to Zizheng and said: "Zizheng, you, you..." Ziwen didn't know how to say it. Shang Fu stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Ziwen, Zi Zheng hates evil as much as he hates evil. That's the temper he has. Let's not argue with him." Ziwen turned around and said, "I'm too lazy to argue with him." Shang Fu looked at them and said: " Let's go down the mountain together and meet up with the master." The disciples said, "Okay, let's go down the mountain together." The disciples behind him looked at Zizheng, who was stamping his feet, sheathing his long sword, carrying the wounded soldiers and going down the mountain together.
They stood in front of the city gate, but were stopped by the soldiers below the city, asking: "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Ziwen stepped forward and said, "We are looking for sir." A soldier stepped forward and said, "Who is your sir?" Who? Do we know each other?" Shang Fu stepped forward and said, "We are all disciples of Xiao Yi. We have come here to ask Mr. Bing to be accommodating." The soldiers then moved aside. Xiao Yi stood on the tower and saw the disciples under the tower. He immediately walked down the tower and ran out. Only then did a kind smile appear on his face and said: "Shang Fu, Zizheng, Ziwen, you are all here. , follow me into the city."
