Qu Zhi faced the swordsman and said, "Escort the prince to leave Qin. You leave quickly." The swordsman seemed to be worried about General Qu Zhi's safety and called out, "General." General Qu Zhi said, "You leave quickly. If you are one step behind, we will all leave." No." The swordsman took his prince out of the thatched house, got into General Qu Zhi's car and left. Qu Zhi sat in front of several cases, waiting for King Qin to lead his troops.
When the swordsman was leaving Xianyang City, he was stopped by the general guarding the city. He stepped forward and asked: "What kind of insect is in the carriage?" The swordsman sat in front of the carriage, faced the Qin soldiers and generals around him, and asked: "The Chu envoy General Qu Zhi's Do you also want to search the carriage frame?" General Qin walked out and said: "You guys go." He said to the soldiers behind him: "Open the city gate." The city gate opened and the swordsman drove out of Xianyang City.
The Prime Minister of Qin entered the palace of the King of Qin and paid homage to the King of Qin. He said, "Your Majesty." The King of Qin raised his head and said, "Why did the Prime Minister come to see me?" ." King Qin looked at Prime Minister Qin and said, "How does the Prime Minister think this matter should be handled?" Prime Minister Qin stood in front of King Qin and said, "If the king releases the prince and returns to the country, he will inherit the throne in the future, and the whole country of Chu will be grateful to Qin. Make peace with our Qin State. As long as Qin State has good relations with Chu State, and Qi State and Yan State are driven by Chu State, or are forced to make good relations with our Qin State under pressure, then the so-called joint vertical strategy to resist Qin will be If you don't attack, you will be destroyed. For the sake of reconciliation between Qin and Chu, the State of Chu is willing to cede the land in central Guizhou to our Great Qin, which is very beneficial to our Great Qin." The King of Qin asked: "The Prime Minister has agreed to the request of the Chu envoy. "The Prime Minister of Qin kowtowed and said: "Please agree to this condition and release the prince to return to the country." The King of Qin looked at the Prime Minister of Qin and just smiled coldly and said, "The Prime Minister is a bug in the Wei State." Prime Minister Qin looked hesitantly. He said to King Qin: "Exactly." The smile on King Qin's face disappeared immediately, and he still said calmly: "The prime minister's calculations are very precise! Is this for private or public reasons?" The look in King Qin's eyes at this time It was very scary, and his face gradually turned gloomy. The Prime Minister of Qin immediately knelt down and broke out in a cold sweat. He said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to be selfish. I don't dare to be selfish." The King of Qin stood up and said angrily: "The land in the middle of Guizhou is a barren land of the Chu Kingdom. This is the envoy of Chu." Haven't you heard the excuse? What use will the land in central Guizhou have to our Qin Dynasty? Our Qin Dynasty spends a lot of money and energy to manage it, holding back our Qin State so that it has no time to visit." Prime Minister Qin He kept kowtowing and said: "Wei Chen is confused, Wei Chen is confused." King Qin thought for a long time, then suddenly turned around and said: "No, they want to escape."
The King of Qin led his troops to the residence of the Prince of Chu and pushed open the door. King Qin walked in and saw General Qu Zhi sitting in front of several cases. General Qu Zhi stood up and kowtowed, "King Qin." King Qin smiled and said, "It's you, General Qu Zhi." Qu Zhi said, "Exactly, I didn't expect it. King Qin, we meet again." Qin Xiang stood aside and said. : "Where is the Prince of Chu?" General Qu Zhi faced the Prime Minister of Qin and said, "I heard that your King of Qin is not trustworthy and ordered his servants to take the Prince out of the city with him." After hearing this, the King of Qin was furious and said: "Insects are coming. "The soldiers rushed in, and the King of Qin said: "Drag it out and kill it!" Qu Zhi said: "I have never thought about leaving Xianyang City alive since I entered Qin. Does the King of Qin still remember that the four kingdoms of Chu, Han, Wei, and Zhao jointly attacked? Qin." Prime Minister Qin stood up to stop him and said, "Wait a minute." Then he turned to the King of Qin and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need for us to offend the State of Chu." This strategy of consolidating the alliance caused the powerful Qin State to suffer a lot. He was still wary and said, "I won't kill you today, so you can go." General Qu Zhi kowtowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, King Qin, for not killing me." Then he left and walked out of Xianyang.
After Xiao Yi left, King Chu fell seriously ill and was bedridden. People in Chu State are superstitious about ghosts and gods. Witchcraft is relatively popular in Chu State, and it is also known as Wu Chu. Summon a wizard into the palace of the King of Chu to summon the soul of the unconscious King of Chu. The King of Chu was lying on the bed. He opened his eyes and looked at these dancing wizards. The palace of the King of Chu was filled with smoke. Wearing evil ghost masks, they were dangling in front of King Chu's eyes. He suddenly felt a splitting headache and exhaled. A wizard came forward and said: "Your Majesty." King Chu said: "You all can withdraw." Then these wizards withdrew. Ling Yin stood at the gate of the palace and saw the wizard walking out. He stepped forward and asked, "Master, how is the king's condition?" The wizard shook his head and said, "Only three of the king's three souls and seven souls are left. I'm afraid it's... I can’t survive tonight.”
At this time, King Chu was as sick as a gossamer. Just as the wizard said, the three souls of King Chu were wandering outside the three realms. The King of Chu called out in his coma, "Sir, Sir." The little ant in the dream stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty." The King of Chu helped the little ant and asked, "Sir, why do you want to leave the country of Chu?" He said: "Your Majesty, there will be civil strife in Chu State. Little Ant is powerless and has no choice but to leave Chu State." The King of Chu asked again: "Sir, please teach me how to stop the civil strife in Chu State." Little Ant replied: "Your Majesty, you can Send General Qu Zhi to the State of Qin to welcome back the prince who was held hostage in the State of Qin and succeed him to the throne. Only when things are settled can the chaos be stopped." The King of Chu thanked him and said, "Thank you, Sir, for teaching me." Xiao Yi replied, "For the sake of The people of Chu State can only do this." Then he turned and left, and then said: "General Qu Zhi is loyal to the Chu State, and you can entrust important matters to General Qu Zhi." The King of Chu wanted to follow, but was blocked by a kind of Pulled by the strength, he stopped moving forward, and just helplessly called out: "Sir, sir." He watched helplessly as the little ant's leaving figure gradually disappeared from its sight.
The King of Chu was lying on the bed, and Zheng Ji had been waiting beside the bed. See King Chu slowly opening his eyes. Zheng Ji looked at King Chu and said happily: "Your Majesty, you are awake." As soon as King Chu woke up, he asked: "Mei Ji, is the prince back?" Zheng Ji said: "Your Majesty, the prince is on his way back to the Kingdom of Chu. ." King Chu said: "My concubine, the prince is kind-hearted and will not hurt you." Zheng Ji said: "I just hope that the king can get well soon." King Chu looked into the deep palace, He said: "Okay, okay, okay." Then he closed his eyes again.
Ling Yin entered Zheng Ji's palace, looked at the King of Chu who was lying on the bed, and asked: "Has the king woke up?" Zheng Ji said happily: "The king woke up just now." Ling Yin said: "The king is already here. No, it's coming back." These words made Zheng Ji panic, not knowing what to do. Ling Yin asked again: "What was the first thing the king said to you when he woke up?" Zheng Ji looked at Ling Yin and said, "I'm asking about the prince's return to the country." Ling Yin became a little anxious and said: "The prince must not be allowed to return to the country. The prince is assisted by General Qu Zhi. This Qu Zhi is just like his brother. Do you think they can accommodate us?" Zheng Ji knew that it was him and Ling Yin who were slandering the King of Chu. The resentment generated by expelling his elder brother from the court and dying in a foreign land, and how to deal with his younger brother's humiliation, has never diminished. Once King Chu dies, they will lose the protective umbrella of King Chu, and their status will be difficult to protect. This is something they must consider, and the thought of this also scares them. At this time, Ling Yin said: "Assassination, you can send assassins to assassinate the prince on his way back to the country, and make the youngest son of the clan the king, so as to control the court situation. I will send heavy troops to blockade the harem and the palace of Chu to strengthen the control of the king. Protect." Zheng Ji agreed and said, "Just do what Ling Yin wants." Ling Yin exited Zheng Ji's palace.
The prince and General Qu Zhi met in the territory of Chu State, got into the car and rushed to Shouchun, the capital of Chu State. The carriage and horses came to a sudden stop in the dense forest. The forest here is deep and deep. The swordsman sitting in front of the carriage looked around and said: "There is danger here, Prince, be careful." A hidden arrow penetrated from the dense forest, and the swordsman waved his sword to block the hidden arrow. At this time, many bandits rushed out from the dense forest. General Qu Zhi walked out and looked at them and said: "You are so brave, you dare to rob the prince's car." The bandit leader rode out slowly on horseback and said: "You don't want to pass by here. If you want to pass by, just stay." Give me your heads." After saying this, the bandits drew their swords and charged at him. It was obvious that they were coming for the prince, meaning they did not want him to return to Shouchun, the capital of Chu State. The swordsman walked out with his sword, stood in front of these bandits, and looked at them. He turned back to General Qu Zhi and said, "General, you take the prince and go first, I will stop them." Qu Zhi drove away and fled. The bandits rushed up on horseback with their swords. The swordsman jumped up and slashed down with the long sword in his hand, drawing blood. Splashing, these bandits fell into a pool of blood. The remaining bandits surrounded it. The swordsman stood among them, looking around at the bandits and saying: "The prince has gone far away. If you are brave enough, come here. We will definitely kill you hard today." The bandits swung their swords up, and the swordsman swung the long sword in his hand to block, squatting down Sweeping down thousands of troops, the sword tip scratched their legs and they fell. Then, the swordsman stepped forward, kicked the bandit leader down in the air, grabbed the horse and mounted on it, and made a mark on the bandit leader's face with the long sword in his hand. The bandit leader immediately covered his face with his hands, blood flowing out from the gaps between his fingers. He was helped up by the bandits on both sides. At this time, the swordsman galloped away on horseback.
After General Qu Zhi drove into Shouchun, he ran straight to the military camp and mobilized the Chu army. The prince saw that the direction General Qu Zhi was running towards was not the Chu Palace, so he stuck his head out and asked, "General, where are we going?" General Qu Zhi turned around and said, "Prince, the Chu Palace was sent by Ling Yin. It's heavily guarded, and we're just going to die in vain. We need to rush to the south gate camp of Gyeonggi Province, mobilize a large army, and eliminate the traitorous party headed by Ling Yin."
General Qu Zhi drove to the south gate camp of Gyeonggi Province, and General Poisonous Spider walked out of the camp to greet him. I saw General Qu Zhi driving towards the military camp, stopped in front of the military camp, got off and stood in front of them. General Poisonous Spider led the generals to kneel down and said, "General." The prince walked out of the car, and Qu Zhi introduced him, "This is the prince who is being held hostage in the State of Qin." The generals knelt down in front of the prince and said, "Prince. The prince then got out of the car, stepped forward and said, "Generals, please straighten yourself." Then he looked at General Qu Zhi who was standing aside. General Qu Zhi stepped forward and said, "General Poison Spider." General Poison Spider stepped forward and said, "The last general is here." General Qu Zhi said, "Quickly send the generals to the barracks to speak." General Poison Spider led the generals into the barracks. General Qu Zhi stood in front of the commander's position and said: "The king is critically ill, so I ordered Yin Xiangwa to secretly mobilize the imperial army to surround the Chu palace. In order to protect the safety of the king and the princess, he actually placed the king under house arrest and prevented the prince from visiting the palace. This time I led the army to attack the capital. King Qin, eradicate the traitors headed by Ling Yin." Poisonous Spider led the generals forward and said, "We will obey the general's orders." General Qu Zhi looked at them and said, "Okay, the army is out of camp."
General Qu Zhi led an army to attack Shouchun, the capital of Chu State, and the army assembled in front of the Chu palace. Ling Yin stood on the steps, under the protection of the imperial army, and said: "Qu Zhi, are you bringing the army here to rebel?" Qu Zhi stood on the chariot and said: "Xiang Frog, your death date We’re almost there.” Then he drew his long sword and pointed it out, shouting: “Kill the traitor.” The army rushed forward, colliding with the Forbidden Army and killing each other. These armies were brave and skilled on the battlefield, and the Imperial Army was quickly dispersed, leaving them vulnerable to a single blow in front of the army. Seeing that the situation was over, Ling Yin was timid and fled into the harem. He hurriedly said: "Mother, it's not good. General Qu Zhi is about to enter the harem. Run away quickly." Zheng Ji was escorted by the palace maid Si Chong and took advantage of the chaos to escape. Harem. Unexpectedly, on top of the city tower, a hidden arrow was shot. Zheng Ji was hit by an arrow in the chest. Zheng Ji gasped and looked down at the arrow feathers piercing her chest, her eyes wide with shock, and she died in the Mercedes-Benz car.
