Zi Gan and Zi Hui have been completely abandoned and toyed with in the palm of their hands, everything they see is an illusion, and everything they hear is a rumor; There are eyes that do not see the truth, there are ears that do not hear the truth, and the orders given are not carried out.

All they saw now was the sad faces of the doctors, and all they heard was the news that the Spirit King was approaching step by step; At night, I would hear someone in the city exclaiming: "The king of Chu has entered the city!" Some of the passing boats on the Chengnan River also shouted: "The king of Chu has returned with a naval army!" After that, shouts rang out one after another, and people ran around with torches. In this way, the two spent sleepless nights of horror with trepidation.

As time passed, the expressions on the faces of the abandonment and the doctor became more and more solemn. He said that the king of Chu had gathered a large number of troops, and that many doctors and countrymen had fled to him; Chao Wu had already been killed by Wang Shi, and Cai Guo was defeated and surrendered again; Coalition forces have approached the capital. He also said that he had prepared the jade to be broken, saying that they had killed the son of the king of Chu, and he didn't know what kind of cruel means the spirit king would use against him, so he would rather die than be captured alive.

He advised Zigan that the capital was now in danger and that staying in the city would not guarantee his safety. He asked Zigan and Hei Qiu to take refuge for a while in the palace ten miles outside the city, where the defense was strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was a dock and a boat on the side, so that they could escape by boat if necessary. The two of them listened to his advice and told them to have confidence in abandoning the disease, to persevere to the end, and to achieve the final victory. After that, he fled to the solid palace for refuge in trepidation. In this way, Yingdu will become a world of abandonment, and he can play as much as he wants.

On the night of May 17, the climax of the play began.

Zibi first heard the exclamation of the people of the country in the direction of the capital, and after this accustomed horror overture, there was a faint shout of killing and the heavy sound of the siege machine hitting the city gate; Then the whole city went into chaos; Then there was the fire of the house, and the smoke soon drifted over the palace, and the air was filled with choking smoke. At this time, the chaos of leaving the palace was no less than that in the city: people ran around, the palace maids and eunuchs fled through the door, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and fled. The officers began to try to stop them, but when they failed, they simply fled with them.

Later, the sound of the "Wang Shi" singing a majestic military song was heard, and the song was particularly clear in the confusion, and it was getting closer and closer, and finally close enough to hear the sound of neat footsteps and the sound of weapons clashing; Then the footsteps disappeared, and there was a sound of banging on the gate of the Gugong outside.

When Zigan and Zihui were frightened, Man Chengran rushed in with a group of soldiers. Zigan thought that they were here to protect themselves, but he didn't know that this group of deserters had entered the palace to rob things. Man Chengran said while tearing off the peiyu and belt on Zigan's body and putting them in the blanket: "Master Wang is invincible, he has already broken through the East Gate!" I saw with my own eyes that Lord Sima was killed by the countrymen, and his body was torn to pieces; Fei Wuji was skinned alive and dragged on the ground with salt and a rope; Also being dragged was Chao Wu, who had all his bones broken, but still not dead. The anger of the people must not be offended, the king of Chu is about to come in, you can do it yourself! After speaking, he picked up his burden and shouted to the soldiers: "Hurry up!" Don't grab it! It's important to save your life! With that, he ran away from the back door with them.

Zi Gan and Zi Hui fled from the palace after him, and ran in the direction of the boat inn with the deserters, but they saw that there were fires everywhere on the water, and it was obvious that the inner Ying of the "King of Chu Ling" set fire to all the boats. And a man with a torch appeared in the distance on the shore, and Man Chengran shouted: "Instead of sitting and waiting for death, it is better to fight a bloody road!" With that, he drew his sword and ran upstream with the deserter.

The brothers were afraid of danger and had to return to the palace again. The two of them faced each other in the main hall, and they seemed to hear Fei Wuji's terrible cries and Chao Wu's helpless moans because his hyoid bone was also broken.

Zigan said: "We are in the Jin Kingdom, although we don't have any status and wealth, but we can die on the bed!" There will be sacrifices after death, why should you come back to be this short-lived king! He stretched out his hands to heaven and exclaimed, "Oh my God, my God! If we die, we will die too! Xiong Qian is still alive! When Bi's curse is broken, or is it not broken!? ”

Hearing the sound of the battle getting closer and closer, the two men had tears in their eyes, drew their swords and put them at each other's hearts, and then went one step further, and in this way they killed each other.

In a matter of moments, however, the shouts died down, the fire was extinguished, and order was restored to the capital. An army entered the palace, led by not King Chu Ling, but the prince abandoned his illness. Qiji saw the corpses of the two brothers hugging each other, and cried bitterly. At dawn, the prince abandoned his illness and succeeded to the throne as the "King of Chuping"; He buried Zigan in Ziyi, nicknamed "Zi Ao".

King Chu Ling still has no news, this name has now lost its use value, its existence can only create negative effects, and it cannot be ruled out that someone will use this name to make trouble again, so King Chu Ping decided to let it disappear completely.

Man Chengran accepted the order of King Chu Ping, found an unlucky ghost among the prisoners who looked very similar to King Chu Ling, dressed him in the clothes of King Ling, and sank him into the Han River. A few days later, someone "accidentally" found the floating corpse in the river and fished it up, and the official who came to examine the body said, "This is the first king."

After the king of Chu Ling and Zheng Dan separated, he went down the Han River alone, wanting to go to Nanyan, the capital of Chu State, near present-day Yicheng, Hubei. He dodged along the way, far away from the big cities and towns, and walked on remote paths, for fear of being caught and invited to receive rewards. After walking for more than three months, he was unkempt, and his clothes and shoes were in tatters; On top of that, he doesn't even have a small amount of money on him! This king, who was once the most powerful person in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period, proud of the world and capable of everything, is now willing to bow his head and beg from others, and endure the ridicule and insults of the world!

King Chu Ling could only rely on wild fruits and wild vegetables to barely feed himself, and he had to endure hunger if he couldn't find it.

On this day, he had not found food for three days, and he was still walking forward in a trance. He suddenly reached out and grabbed a passerby who seemed to be in a hurry to avoid him, who had been a minor in the palace. "You!" King Chu Ling had forgotten his name, "How dare you pretend not to know your own king?" ”

The little minister was obviously frightened, he covered King Chu Ling's mouth, his face distorted, suppressed his vocal cords, and said, "The king doesn't talk nonsense! The entire Chu country is looking for you, and those who have made meritorious contributions can get a county fief! ”

King Chu Ling said, "Gu has been hungry for a long time, get me something to eat." ”

Xiao Chen said: "Where does the villain dare that!" The new king has an order, and those who dare to fund the previous king will be hanged! ”

King Chu Ling said: "Then it is not difficult for me to be for you, you sit down and let the lonely pillow sleep on your legs." ”

For many days, this was the sweetest sleep that King Chu Ling had slept on, and when he woke up, he found that he was pillow with a dirt bag, and the minister had already fled.

King Chu Ling continued on his way, and two days later, at dusk, he came to a quiet mountain village. The air is filled with the scent of spring earth and the smell of cooking smoke mixed with food; A few children were running around in front of the house and behind the house, laughing and playing. Through the window of a thatched hut, he saw a young couple and a small child sitting around in the dim light, eating and laughing. King Chu Ling turned around and sat down against an ancient acacia tree, when suddenly a person walked up to him and shouted, "Come quickly!" Here he is! I've found him! ”

King Chu Ling jumped up in fright, and several people couldn't help but cover his mouth, suppress his resistance, and even put him into a carriage and pulled him away.

The carriage traveled for a long time, and entered the courtyard of a country house, and King Chu Ling was helped out of the carriage; A man came out of the house in a hurry, fell to his knees, hugged him and cried loudly.
