summer day, winter night

After Su Wuxi left, Yunchan asked to see him.

Yunchan is in charge of King Cang's secret forces, and every time she asks for a meeting, she must tell her something, but today she has been silent since entering the door.

King Cang thought for a moment, "You came here just to let Su Wuzhan see you in my house?"

Yunchan nodded, nana said: "Then, did he ask you?"

"He didn't mention seeing you at all. I don't want to see you now, so go out."

Yunchan could only bow and retreat.

The trees in Cangwang Mansion are tall and strong. At this time of summer, every road is covered with dense shade from trees, making it extremely cool.Yunchan knew that she had done something wrong, and she was so depressed that she didn't even open the red umbrella in the shade of the tree.

Cang Jia saw it, and finally couldn't help but said: "Miss Yun, whose mother is seriously ill, there is no time to think about their children's love. You... why are you at this time..."

"Steward Cang, I understand." Yunchan interrupted Cang Jia's exclamation, and a pair of red phoenix eyes squinted over, full of majesty.

Cang Jia was stunned for a moment, and said yes in a low voice.

-

But here Su Wuyan had already ridden on the horse prepared by the upper class, led a few servants, and set off on the road lightly.

On the way out of the city, I passed by the tea ceremony seat where I saw Yunchan for the first time yesterday. Su Wuzhen slowly reined in the horse, which was not running fast, and turned to look at the lobby on the second floor. The elegant decor is as comfortable as another world.

It's just a woman, he, Su Wuxi, doesn't need to care so much.People, no matter what goal they want to achieve, there is always a way to go. If there is no way, he will not humiliate himself, and would rather open a way by himself!

"Young master?" Liu Zang reminded softly, "It's important to hurry."

"Let's go," he said, raising his whip, "Drive!"

-

On the way, everything was kept simple, and Su Wuxi was so eager to return home. He traveled day and night, and sometimes even drove at night, which shortened the time to get home by one-third.

Mother Su seemed to have expected that he would arrive today, so she managed to move herself to the recliner, and asked someone to move the recliner to the door, waiting there quietly.

Su Wuyan reined in the horse in a hurry, and walked in front of Su's mother in three steps at a time, with tears pouring out before the words in his mouth.

"Silly boy," Su Mu patted his hand, with a loving smile on her pale face, "I knew you would be in such a hurry, go into the house and clean up, your mother and I still have some days to live. "

"What are you talking about, mother? If mother is in the capital, why would my son make mother so ill?" Su Wuzhen choked up.

"Mother's illness is not so simple. In this case, I can only put some burden on your shoulders." Su's mother sighed helplessly, "Don't put things that you can't change on your own shoulders. Filial piety, as long as mother knows, no matter how much you say, you can only deceive yourself, and it will not help."

Su Wuxi nodded obediently, looked at his mother without blinking his eyes, and held his mother's hand tightly.

He was so afraid of losing this person in front of him.

With the other hand, Mother Su wiped away the tears on Su Wuzhan's face trembling slightly, and said earnestly: "Don't cry, how old are you?"

"Do you still remember what my mother said before, life is difficult in the first place, you have to be more optimistic about things, and when you die, you can remember it happily, so that you don't have to go through this world in vain."

"Life and death are part of the way of heaven. There is no right or wrong. You can be sad, you can mourn, you can be in awe, but you should not be angry or suspicious."

Su Wuxi's tears flowed more and more, and finally, like a child, he threw himself into his mother's arms, crying bitterly.

Under the same sky, after such a long period of patience, King Cang gave the emperor himself the final answer - a letter of resignation.

Then, it disappeared in the capital.

The emperor had been looking forward to King Cang's actions for a long time, and he had been uneasy for so long, fearing that his handing in the military talisman was just a cover, secretly plotting a rebellion.

He knows who King Cang is, but in the army, under normal circumstances, King Cang's face is easier to use than a soldier's talisman. If he wants to mobilize troops, he can even make it so that there is no news of the soldiers approaching the city.

With this level of concern, the emperor could say he let out a long sigh of relief the moment he received the resignation letter.

I still remember that year when he first ascended to the throne, the sea of ​​sand in the desert was boundless, King Cang led the vanguard, but the army behind lost his way.After losing contact, it took Cang Wang three full days to find them, a group of headless flies.

That night, the two of them lay together on the fresh and soft grass of the oasis, looking at the clean, bright and twinkling stars in the desert.He threatened that he would remember King Cang's merits, and he would be promoted and promoted after returning to Beijing, but King Cang replied: "Your Majesty, if one day the humble minister submits his resignation letter, it means that he has given up his loyalty to the country and wants to leave the country." I've been traveling in the mountains and rivers, if at that time, Your Majesty has nothing to do with this minister, then don't ask this minister to come back."

He remembered his answer back then, just one word: "OK."

The tone of King Cang's words was so cautious, so sad, with such a strong sense of fate that he couldn't say anything more.

Now, he understood the meaning of that sentence, because even if he could recall all the brotherhood between them, he could no longer trust him.

King Cang left Cang Jia to look at the yard, and went to the secret base on the cliff in the suburbs of Beijing alone. Yunchan stood on the stone platform halfway up the cliff and held a red umbrella to welcome him.

This is actually the deepest cliff in this country. It looks like a mountain being split by an axe. However, because the section with the most beautiful scenery and surrounded by clouds and mist all year round happens to be included in the courtyard of Cangwang Mansion, there are almost no cliffs. People come here to play.

When the base was first built, someone proposed to give the cliff a name and engrave it on a stone tablet to stand on the edge of the cliff. However, because their master felt that the prestige name, such as Broken Heart Cliff and Unfeeling Cliff, would attract many people to jump off the cliff. Those who committed suicide would be in trouble if they were blown by the wind to the entrance of their base. Even if they couldn't get in, it would be a big deal if the base location was exposed.As for a name that is a little more beautiful and softer, the lord thinks it is not majestic enough.

A group of subordinates: "..." They usually really think that the master is a serious and somewhat pessimistic person, why is he so... um, cock mother-in-law, no no no, he is overbearing!Yes, domineering!

Putting away the memories, Yunchan offered King Cang a cup of tea and smiled: "My lord, I'm resigning this time, why don't you spare some time to name this cliff?"

"Well, you can list a few for me to atone for."

Yunchan, who lifted a rock and smashed her own foot, suddenly distorted her smile.

The main reason for his resignation this time was not to expand his influence in the Jianghu, but to go to the south of the Yangtze River and visit Su Wuxuan by the way.

For a courtier like him who has reached the pinnacle of power, if he has no greater ambitions, resigning at this time is indeed the best choice, and he can spare some time to find a partner or something.

However, thinking about his career in officialdom for so many years, he couldn't help but heave a long sigh.

...I really can't help but feel sad.
