Then he recalled the delicacies of his hometown, such as Brasenia schreberi soup and sea bass, and felt that his hometown could not be spared. Therefore, he naturally said to himself: life should be indulgent. Since my hometown is so unforgettable, why do I have to go thousands of miles away to be a constrained official to win any fame? Then, without hesitation, he went to the king of Qi to resign, drove thousands of miles, and returned to his hometown. Not long after Ji Ying resigned and returned to his hometown, Sima Jiong, king of Qi, was killed. His people were implicated, and many of them lost their lives.
