Xiao Yi walked out and faced the prince's guards and said, "What are you doing in the library?" But these guards said very arrogantly: "I have been entrusted by the prince to send you the gift of apprenticeship. Please accept it, sir." Xiao Yi Expressing his refusal, he said: "No reward for no merit, please take it back." The prince was dishonest in his apprenticeship and sent several guards here because he could not let go of his noble status. The prince was born in a deep palace and grew up in a deep palace. He has been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He has been favored by all kinds of people and has developed the temperament of a wealthy young man. It is normal for him not to understand the ways of the world, which is why Xiao Yi refuses. After closing the door and thanking the guests, Zi Zheng stepped forward and said, "You guys can go." The guards left boredly.

After Xiao Yi entered the library, he was restless. He looked outside the library and called out, "Zizheng." Zizheng walked in and said, "Sir." Xiao Yi faced Zizheng and said, "Zizheng! I always have an ominous feeling. A premonition makes it uneasy. Zizheng has never seen Xiao Yi so worried. No matter how big the storm is, or even in the face of life and death, Xiao Yi always handles it calmly. I have never seen him so anxious and uneasy, so he asked: "Sir, what is the reason?" Xiao Yi said: "I have an intuition. Tell me, His Highness will be in danger. Zizheng, the heavy responsibility of protecting His Highness falls on you." Zizheng disagreed and said: "His Highness is the son of the Emperor, what else can threaten its life?" Xiao Yi Said: "Your Highness, in the eyes of some nobles, its status is low, so naturally they will not take it seriously. If it threatens the status of a certain insect, it is not optimistic. Zizheng, go quickly." Zizheng saluted. Said: "Sir, the disciple has gone." From then on, Xiao Yi closed the door to thank guests, and saw no one except the emperor. At this time, it had already anticipated that something big was going to happen after today, and it came up with this idea. When times are in order, one emerges; when times are chaotic, one hides. A small hermit hides in the mountains and forests, a big hermit hides in the city. This is another realm of little ants.

The guard returned to the Prince's Mansion, met the Prince, knelt down and said, "Prince." The Prince walked up and asked, "Sir, have you accepted it?" A guard knelt forward, looked at the Prince and said, "Sir, I have not accepted it. Not only did he not accept the gift of apprenticeship, he also drove the young ones out of the library." After hearing this, the prince was furious and kicked out the guard, knocking him to the ground. The guard climbed up again and said, "Prince." The prince was furious. He said: "Get out, get out, all of you, get out of here." These guards rolled out of the prince's mansion and crawled out of the palace.

The prince's anger was still lingering, so he knocked over the bronze lamp, overturned several cases, and drew his sword. The counselor walked in and said, "Why is the prince so angry?" The prince said angrily, "Everyone, everyone, I will kill it." The counselor asked again, "Who made the prince angry?" The prince then recovered. Reasonably, he looked at the counselor and said, "It's not that little ant. It's better to be rejected." The counselor said, "Why should the prince be angry? The prince is the crown prince and the future emperor. When the little ant is no longer useful, he will still be there." It is not fish meat on the chopping board, let it be slaughtered." The counselor faced outside the door of the prince's mansion again and called out: "Come in." A poisonous bee entered the prince's mansion, knelt down and said: "Prince." The prince was struck by it. The ferocious face was frightened, and he quickly asked: "What kind of insect is it?" The counselor replied: "This is an assassin dedicated to the prince." The prince said hurriedly: "Why is this?" The counselor said: "According to detectives The prince reported that the prince had already visited Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi was on the side of the prince. Such behavior is normal, and it means that the prince will have one more opponent." The prince asked: "Sir, are you going to assassinate Xiao Yi? The counselor replied: "No, it is to assassinate the prince. Only in this way will your position as prince be as stable as a rock. There will be no insects to fight with you, and the prince can rest easy." The prince calmed down and walked up and sat down. A few cases ago, he looked at the poisonous bee and said, "Have you heard clearly?" The poisonous bee raised his head and said, "You heard clearly." The prince said, "Go and do the work, remember to be invisible." The poisonous bee said. Feng kowtowed and said, "I'll remember it, little one." The prince waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Feng Feng stood up and left.

On a dark and windy night, the wind blows and the shadows of the trees dance. There was a black insect shadow wandering around the Prince's Mansion, and it sneaked into the Prince's Mansion with its long knife drawn out. The door opened slowly. I saw an insect figure enter, walk to the prince's bed, slash his chest with a knife, but was blocked by the long sword flying from the dark. Zizheng flew down from the beam, and the sword fell into Zizheng's hand. The Crown Prince was awakened. He sat up and saw Zi Zheng standing in front of him and said, "Senior Brother Zizheng." Zi Zheng said, "The Crown Prince." Then he faced the assassin and said, "Who are you? Why did you come to assassinate the Crown Prince?" The assassin did not answer a word. , about to escape. Zi Zheng stretched out his sword and blocked its way. The prince's bodyguards rushed in, and Zi Zheng said hurriedly: "Go and protect the prince." The prince's bodyguards stood in front of the prince and watched the battle with him.

The swords collided with each other, causing sparks to fly and their fires radiating. The assassin released a poisonous needle and Zi Zheng blocked it with his sword. The assassin was seen flying away. Zi Zheng quickly caught up with him. The assassin turned around and slashed with his sword, but Zi Zheng blocked with his sword. The long sword pressed against the long sword, as if it was being sucked, breaking the rocks together, and some rocks hit the air. Its power should not be underestimated. Zi Zheng kicked the assassin away, knocked down the door and flew in, falling heavily. Zi Zheng broke in through the door. As soon as the long sword came out, the assassin stood up quickly and swung the flames on the copper lamp together with the long sword, like sparks, attacking Zizheng. Zi Zheng swung his sword to catch the flames, and the long sword rotated between his fingers. Wu Jian's body leaned forward, the sword tilted down, his fingertips slid down, and sparks flew out. The assassin was busy blocking it with his sword, then flew out and flew towards the eaves of the palace. Zi Zheng flew up and kicked the assassin down. As he flew down, he kicked seven times in the air. The assassin fell heavily in front of the prince. Zi Zheng lowered his sword and slashed it, pointing directly at its throat. The assassin was about to get up and run away, but it was unable to get up, and its chest was still aching. Zizheng took off its mask with a sword, and it turned out to be a poisonous bee. The poisonous bee coughed up blood and said, "Kill if you want, no need to say more."

Emperor Zhou rushed over after hearing the news. He first walked to Jin Chan and asked, "Chan'er, are you okay?" Jin Chan looked at Emperor Zhou, immediately stepped forward and knelt down and called out, "Father." Emperor Zhou He immediately helped Jin Chan up and said, "Chan'er, you are frightened." Jin Chan looked at his father and said, "Senior Brother Xin You Zizheng is protecting me, and my son is fine." Jin Chan and Emperor Zhou together He walked forward, stood behind Zizheng, and said to his father: "Father, let it go." Emperor Zhou asked with some confusion: "Chan'er, why is this?" Jin Chan explained Said: "It also has parents, a wife, children and a family!" Emperor Zhou looked at Jin Chan in disbelief and said: "Cicada! You are so kind. In order to be loyal to their masters, these assassins will not hesitate to kill their wives and children. His future is to die as a dead soldier. How can he have a family?" Then he called the great Sikou and said, "Where is the great Sikou?" The great Sikou rushed to the emperor, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty." Zhou The emperor said: "We must interrogate it carefully and ask who is behind it?" Sikou kowtowed and said: "I obey the order." Then he turned around and called out the armored soldiers and said: "Push it into the prison."

Emperor Zhou looked at Zizheng and said: "Zizheng, come here." Zizheng stepped forward and saluted: "Emperor." Emperor Zhou still looked at Zizheng and said with a smile: "Seeing that Zizheng's swordsmanship is so superb, I don't know Where did you learn from it?" Zi Zheng said: "It was taught by my master." Emperor Zhou was even more surprised. What he didn't expect was that Xiao Yi was gentle and had the image of a great Confucian. He would have such a superb talent. Swordsmanship is really rare.

This time, the poisonous bee's assassination failed, making the prince anxious. If Emperor Zhou found out that it was him, wouldn't it be difficult to protect his position as crown prince? The counselor walked into the prince's mansion, kowtowed and said, "Prince." The prince turned around and said anxiously, "I thought this assassination would be successful, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect that Zizheng would kill him halfway, causing the success to fail." With a sad look on his face, he said: "I didn't expect this, this little ant is not simple." The prince's hatred for the little ant deepened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't kill the little ant, I swear not to be an insect." The counselor immediately dissuaded him and said: "Prince, you can't kill the little ants. If the prince wants to kill the little ants, wouldn't he be inviting the assassination of the crown prince to himself?" The prince said anxiously: "You say it, you say it. , how should I do it?" The counselor said: "Prince, please come with me."

The counselor and the prince put on black cloaks and secretly walked out of the prince's mansion into a dark forest. There are many caves here. The caves are surrounded by grass, making them extremely hidden and difficult to be discovered. Seeing that there were hundreds of these caves, the prince turned around and asked in confusion: "Sir, what is this place?" The counselor replied, "You will know when the prince and his ministers come in." The prince and the counselor entered the cave together and took the The torch hanging on the stone wall leads the way for the prince.

It turns out that there are 30,000 armored soldiers hidden deep in the cave. After the prince walked in, the armored soldiers knelt down together and shouted: "Prince." The prince was suddenly shocked, turned to the counselor, and said: "Sir, aren't we going to rebel?" The counselor stepped forward and said, "This is what I am doing. The prince secretly recruited 30,000 dead soldiers. Prince, please rest assured, they only know that there is a prince, not the emperor, and they are loyal to the prince. If these 30,000 dead soldiers are killed together, they can be as good as ten and resist the 100,000 in the Zhou capital. Heroic soldiers." After hearing this, the prince became even more frightened and said: "No, no, this is absolutely impossible." The counselor advised: "Prince, prince, Sikou can use any means to investigate the case. Once it is found out that the prince did it. , Your Majesty will lose confidence in the prince, and your position as prince will be in jeopardy. Prince, you must not be so kind! There is no emotion in this palace. Go and read the history books. Well, aren't there enough royal battles? In royal battles, either you die or I die, Prince." The Prince was hesitating, unable to make a decision. The counselor said: "A major event has happened in human history, and the Prince should Remember, this was the chaos of the Prince Dynasty. King Jing initially established his eldest son Ji Meng as the crown prince, but Prince Meng was weak by nature and lacked dignity, while the eldest son of the concubine Wang Zichao was brave and resourceful, and had the demeanor of a king. King Jing wanted to The deposed prince violently established the prince as the prince, but minister Shan Qi and others strongly opposed it. They believed that the deposing of the prince was a major matter for the country, and the throne was passed on to direct descendants rather than to virtuous people. In the summer of 520 BC, King Jing made up his mind to establish the crown prince instead. The edict fell apart after the promulgation of the edict, and Bin Meng, the minister of Gu Ming, was appointed as the Minister of Gu Ming, and the imperial edict was passed to the Prince Dynasty. If the officials Dan Qi and Liu Juan established the Prince Dynasty, they would lose power, so they sent assassins to assassinate Bin Meng, the Minister of Gu Ming, and established Prince Meng. A.D. In 504 BC, Zhan Pian, a remnant of the Prince's Dynasty, caused rebellion in the capital of Zhou. Prince, do you want the rebellion in the Prince's Dynasty to happen again? The Qin State is determined to destroy Zhou! Prince, if you continue to stop it, you will surely suffer the chaos. If this continues, there will be trouble in the future! Prince, Prince." The counselor grabbed the prince, and the prince turned around and said, "Gongsun Zhi, how dare you be rude." The counselor immediately knelt down and said, "Prince." Then he rushed forward to pull it out. A soldier pulled out a sharp sword from his waist and was about to kill himself. The prince rushed to stop him and said: "Sir, what are you doing? Don't force me." The counselor put the sword on his neck and said: "I want to use my death to enlighten the prince, and I want to use my death to awaken the prince." , for me, the great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil! Prince." The prince could only agree and said: "Okay, okay, I just promise you sir." The counselor stepped forward, raised his long sword, and shouted: "Prince Wise! Wise." The prince walked up and stood in front of the counselor. The soldiers all knelt down and shouted: "The prince is mighty! Mighty!" The prince faced these soldiers and said: "Okay, okay, you are the most heroic army in my Zhou Dynasty. Kill Enter the Zhou capital." These armored soldiers shouted together: "Enter the Zhou capital, enter the Zhou capital."
