[Ceyu] Can I resign from the position of Marquis Wu?

This chapter is historical and by implication

29.

In front of Sun Quan was a door, which was locked and had not been opened for eight years.

He was hesitating whether to push it away.

30.

However, Sun Quan was forced to accept from Sun Ce a world view that he would never accept on the other side—for example, Zhou Yu was ordered by his brother and parents, and there was no matchmaker's words, but it did not hinder the fact that he was married by the Ming matchmaker; For example, my full name should be Sun·Chu Meng·Jian Ge Counseling·Bottom of the food chain·I still haven't resigned today·Quan.

He was also forced to accept Sun Ce's threats—for example, he was not allowed to tell Zhou Yu that Sun Ce had passed away for many years;

Finally, Sun Ce threw him a sentence: "I don't think you will stay here for too long. I have entrusted Zhang Zibu to handle the matter of food and salary. You can rest at ease. As long as you don't say anything you shouldn't say, I will let you go." I can keep you safe", and then sent him to get acquainted with the Hou's mansion, while muttering "Don't make Gong Jin wait any longer" and left without looking back.

Therefore, Wu Hou, who has always been wise and resolute, is hesitating outside an open courtyard door.

31.

It wasn't because there was a tiger in the courtyard and Sun Quan didn't go in because he didn't have a car.

Sun Quan looked at the servants who were in charge of sweeping and sweeping out of the courtyard - they passed by Sun Quan's side, smiled and knelt slightly, said "Second Young Master" in unison, and left.

He is too familiar with this place. This quiet courtyard located on the east side of the Hou's Mansion was the residence of Sun Ce in the past. It used to be so lively in the past. There were servants coming and going, Sun Ce who was busy fighting, and someone who was weaving and embroidering. Da Qiao, there is Sun Shao who is playing around, and there is the young and carefree self.It's just that since Sun Ce was assassinated, Mrs. Da Qiao took Sun Shaoyuan away for An Xinjun's heart, and Sun Quan ordered the courtyard to be closed, and no one is allowed to set foot in it since then.

He didn't dare to think whether there was dust left there, and he didn't dare to see when weeds were overgrown there. He just let the moss and moss invade the stone steps, and at the same time, his own memory.He was afraid that just thinking about it would shatter his emperor's heart, and he was afraid that just looking at it would bring back painful memories in him.Because no matter what, when he took on this heavy responsibility to take charge of Jiangdong, he was just a young man who had lost his father and brother and was in doubt.

At that time, he had only, and by his side, only Zhou Yu who held great power and was unfathomable.Those close relatives and estranged people professed their ministers and made oaths, which fulfilled his ambitious ambitions, but they never asked him if he was sad or afraid, and they couldn't say "don't be afraid" to him. The boundary between the monarch and the ministers, each pretending to forget the same person who is entangled in the memory of the past, stubbornly discarded the last trace of connection.So the young man who was at a loss at the beginning became the Lord Wu who sat in the southeast, and Gong Jin, who was whispered softly in his mouth in the past, also became the governor of Zhou who talked about his family, country and world, and fought and killed with his mouth shut.

Nothing remains the same, and no one remains the same. They have become unable to find the slightest trace of yesterday, so now here, can they still find it?

Sun Quan stepped into it hesitantly, recalling the invasion for a moment, the warm wind blowing against his face, blowing away the dust all over the place.

32.

The implementation of this courtyard is quite different from the one in Sun Quan's memory. It removes all the martial style, but it is not extravagant, but it adds some elegance and exquisiteness. It can be seen that the people who set up the layout have roughness in their hearts, and they can also see The man put about [-]% of his thoughts into it.

The entrance is a winding path covered by bamboo leaves. The unpolished bluestone slabs meander into the depths of the bamboo forest. Sun Quan can't help but think of Zhou Yu's hometown. Such a beautiful cobblestone road.

Inwardly, it suddenly becomes clear, a peach tree covers the bamboo forest and spreads, a low wooden table and two armchairs are placed under it, and a chessboard and two opposite chess baskets are placed on the table.It was Sun Ce's favorite way of pastime, and now it is placed here carelessly, under Zhou Yu's favorite flowers and trees, just like when he had not left.

There are orchids and hibiscus flowers planted on both sides of the main house, Sun Quan thought in his heart—just now it was the bamboo from which the word "Ce" came from, and now it is the "Jin" of the so-called "hibiscus" of hibiscus, and even such details are underestimated. After painstakingly engraving, the love between them and them is probably not as good as that between each other - beside it is the living water drawn from the adjacent garden, which is extradited by a diabolo and merged into the back garden In the small stone pool connected by water pavilions, the slight sound of running water disturbs the red carp in the pool, adding some interest to life.

Sun Quan walked into the main house in the middle, and as expected, there was no trace of a woman living in it.Facing the wooden door is the front hall, in the center of which is an extinguished incense burner, and you can still smell the scent of calming incense. It is hard to imagine that its owners will not be able to sleep peacefully these days. Arranged by the window, you can see the green plants in the back garden as soon as you open the window. On the pear blossom table above it, there is a set of good celadon tea set, but because the owner is away, no tea has been dried in it.Further inside is the inner room concealed by a screen, and one can see a neatly stacked bed with gauze hanging on it, and the pillows on it indicate the close relationship of the owner here.

The dressing table under the window that used to be used to store women's jewelry is still in place, but on it are only a corner comb, a tiara that Ce Yu and the other two have temporarily left unused because they don't discuss politics, and an overly complicated pendant that is not suitable for a banquet. ——One of them was put into the box together with the marriage letter, and Sun Quan vaguely felt that he had seen that jade pendant on Mrs. Xiao Qiao before——the only thing left was a book of war that was casually put down by someone among them.

Standing against the wall are hangers and a carved cabinet that occupies almost the entire wall.There was a casual uniform on the shelf, which Sun Quan had never seen Zhou Yu wear, so it probably belonged to Sun Ce.

Sun Quan curiously opened the unlocked cabinet door, and in addition to a lot of clothes he gave to Zhou Yu, he also found a set of Wuhou's official uniform. He tried to use another Sun Quan's "too simple" uniform He used his way of thinking to explain this behavior that was no different from treason, but he was surprised to find that the conclusion was not as complicated as he thought, it was just an ordinary reason-Sun Ce is his own brother, he likes it, Why can't we stay?Why can't I give it?

Sun Quan didn't know when he couldn't even trust Sun Ce. He was the eldest brother who took care of him when he grew up, and a close relative whose blood was thicker than water. Facing this person who would never harm him no matter what, Sun Quan found out that he was in his heart. There is only suspicion.Could this be the so-called Hou family, the so-called emperor's family?

Sun Quan thought of Zhou Yu who was also suspected by him, and his distrust of that person was shaken for the first time.

33.

Sun Quan left the main room with a little self-doubt, and somehow walked around to the side room. When he regained consciousness, the door of the side room had already been pushed open.

Sun Quan looked up and was stunned.

It was a well-ventilated room that maintained a constant temperature all year round, but it was all uninhabited.

There was only one qin table and an incense burner on one side in that room, and the rest were only a few qins, a long flute, and neatly stacked music scores.

Sun Quan could see that these well-maintained zithers and flutes were not ordinary objects, and the one with "Bamboo Jade" engraved on the corner of the qin was even more unique. He also knew that Sun Ce couldn't understand the rhythm, and the owner of the items in this room could only be Zhou Yu. .

It's just that he doesn't know how much a person has to love another person, so that he doesn't even want to let his qin and flute be wronged, so he sets up a special room and devotes all his energy to taking care of it.He only knew that no matter how Mrs. Da Qiao loved Qin, Sun Ce never did this for her.

Is there really love between men?Yin-yang disharmony is already against the norm, and it is even more crazy to bury his heirs. He has various reasons to persuade himself to give up such an affair, but...but what if it is true love?He loves so much that his soul is entangled, his flesh and blood are fused together, how much can he sacrifice for that person?Is it the supreme official or the trust and full payment?How long can he pay? 30 years or 40 years?

At that time, he still couldn't find the answer, because he hadn't really met the person who he remembered so deeply but was wronged in the end.

34.

Sun Quan retreated out of the wing and returned to the courtyard in a daze. Fang felt that it was almost noon and the sun was shining brightly, as if it wanted to dispel all the haze.

He was about to leave, but his eyes were caught by the weapon rack standing in the corner of the courtyard. Countless bloodthirsty spears and halberds were placed side by side on the rack, which actually gave off a sense of tranquility.

Sun Quan couldn't help being attracted and approached.He knew the heavy halberd, which was too heavy for him to lift. In Sun Ce's hands, the halberd was used to make the enemy fearful.He remembered that the man was so heroic in the past, bright and unrestrained, and mighty everywhere. At that time, he was still so young, just like himself.

The halberd was called "Breaking the Formation", and it fulfilled Sun Ce's long-cherished wish when he was a child - that there is no battle that cannot be broken, and that no battle can be won.

Sun Quan's eyes fell on the man's silver gun again, it was still glowing coldly under the scorching sun, he felt that this gun was just like its owner, the coldness and murderous aura on his body could not be washed away even though he was bathed in the warm sun.

It's just that he remembered that this gun had a name that was extremely unsuitable for a weapon, it seemed to be——

"Zhige," a gentle voice sounded behind him. Startled, Sun Quan turned around and looked back, only to see Zhou Yu standing not far away smiling slightly. Sun Quan suddenly felt that compared to Zhou Yu in his memory, he seemed younger. It's a little too much, "My gun is called Zhige", the man added.

Sun Quan understood the deep meaning of "Stop Ge" as if for no reason. It is roughly like "breaking the formation", which contains the wishes of the people in front of him. As a general, he is willing to stop fighting and stop killing. Everyone should stop the war, but in this chaotic world, they can only stop the war with the sword.

"Bo Fu was afraid that you would get lost, so he asked me to look for you," Sun Quan heard Zhou Yu say, "Let's go, dinner is ready."

There was warmth in that voice, as if the pain could be healed easily.

"Gong...Brother Zhong." Sun Quan called out in confusion, with a look of helplessness in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.

"Ah," the man replied softly, stretching out his hand to him, "don't worry, you're home."

35.

Sun Quan finally opened the locked door.

TBC.
