In 614 BC, the powerful King Mu of Chu finally came to the end of his life. The eldest son, Xiong Lv, ascended the throne and became King of Chuzhuang. The young King Zhuang, under the supervision and assistance of Ling Yin, mourned his late king, King Mu.
In 613 BC, he ordered Yin Zikong and Taishi Pan Chong to go out again to attack the rebellion and betrayal, and ordered Prince Xie and Douke to temporarily guard the capital of Ying.
In the autumn of the same year, Gongzi Xie and Dou Ke rebelled and secretly attempted to assassinate Zi Kong. In August, he took advantage of King Zhuang to break through Yingdu and wanted to establish a new government.
Passing through Ludi, we encountered heavy rain. King Zhuang was hiding in a cave and met Jin soldiers and horses. At that time, the cave was dark, and King Zhuang was leaning against the stone wall, when he suddenly heard the singing of a young girl...
A few days later, the two Dou Ke were trapped and killed by Ji Liang. King Zhuang was rescued and returned to Yingdu.
A few years later, Princess Fan married into Chu State. Prince Zhuang was attracted by Fan Ji's stunning beauty, but he never imagined that the beauty in front of him turned out to be the girl in the cave - whose original name was "Lu Ruyuan".
That summer, he held her hand and asked with a smile, "Who are you?"
Wu Ju asked King Zhuang, "Someone asked me a riddle, but I couldn't figure it out, so I asked the king for advice. 'There is a big bird in Chujing, which has been perched in the court hall for three years without singing or flying. It is very difficult to understand. Which one is it?"
The King of Chu smiled and replied, "This bird is an extraordinary bird. It has not flown for three years, but once it soars into the sky, it has not made a sound for three years, and then it becomes a sensation."
When she heard about it, she hid behind the gauze curtain and thought to herself, "Isn't he a foolish and ignorant man who only lusts after beauty and has no ambition? How can he say something that soars into the sky and becomes a blockbuster? Could it be that I understand him wrongly?"
That summer, she covered his hand and asked with a smile, "Jun, who are you?"
