Chapter VII: Intrigue and Intrigues
Updated: 20110520
Wusun grassland
The grassland without Liu Ye is like an eagle that has lost its wings and can no longer spread its wings and fly high, but for some people, the grassland has finally returned to its original appearance, and Liu Ye seems to have never appeared.
Jun Su Mi gradually weakened Weng Guimi's power, just as he did when he hunted Jiaomi to deal with the old sage king, they hoped to use the power of the princes, but they were afraid of high merit, so they had to re-select their henchmen every few years to isolate those princes who had both brains and abilities.
Since the old sage king had a heart attack, Weng Guimi moved back to live with his father, he has very little business now, and he is not responsible for the expansion of Chigu Castle at all, he only needs to take care of the experimental field.
Everyone envies a life of leisure and abundance, but it is a kind of torture for Weng Guimi, he is used to running around and working hard, and suddenly let him let go of everything and live that kind of leisurely and comfortable retirement life, which is undoubtedly a denial of everything in his past. If it's really limited in ability, forget it, being squeezed out by Jun Xu for no reason, it's hard for him to think about it for a while.
On the day Liu Ye left, he didn't have the courage to see her off, so he could only hide outside her yurt and watch secretly. Liu Ye said to Lian Lizhi in the brocade box that he was a fool, and at that moment, not only Liu Ye's tears flashed, but he also had red eyes.
He is stupid, and very stupid, very stupid, he is not sure about Liu Ye's feelings for him, but he still loves her deeply, he wants to ask her what is the relationship between her and Shizhong, but he can't open his mouth, he knows that lovers should solve the misunderstanding and open their hearts, but just when he tried to let go of himself, God played tricks on him again.
Fuma forced each other to die, Jun Sumi and Ubuji ganged up, and the old sage king was extremely ill, and he finally compromised. He promised to fulfill his previous promise and marry his fiancΓ©e Fuma, which meant that it was impossible for him and Liu Ye to be together. He lost the qualification to love her, and he was no longer qualified to ask her who she loved in her heart.
Liu Ye took away Lian Lizhi and his heart, and Weng Guimi's heart was absent, so he didn't care about gains and losses. It's okay to marry Fuma, it's okay to quit the government, it's okay to be a useless King Zuoxian, no matter what, as long as the person he loves is doing well.
Weng Guimi went up the mountain every day to check the progress of the agricultural group and the silkworm group, and chatted with Zhao Sheng, he became more and more interested in the Han Dynasty, understood the customs of the Han Dynasty, and learned advanced cultural technology. Gradually, he was full of yearning for the place where Liu Ye grew up, and if he had the opportunity, he also wanted to go through the desert and go to that mysterious country to have a look.
Zhao Sheng took Zhao Ziqing and the young husband two children, Liu Ye gave him two maids to help take care of them, Weng Guimi was afraid that he would not be busy, so he came to visit the two children as soon as he had time. Zhao Ziqing and the young husband get along well, Ziqing has the demeanor of a brother, and takes good care of this porcelain doll-like sister, under Liu Ye's care, the young husband has become lively and cheerful, carefree every day, and is no longer as depressed as before.
Weng Guimi is glad that the people he cares about can live well, this is the best, he can get married without any trouble, be a good son who is loyal and filial, and live his ordinary life.
Weng Guimi likes to weave at home when he has nothing to do, listening to the sound of shuttles flying on silk threads, as if Liu Ye is in front of him. He still remembered that Liu Ye taught him to weave cloth hand in hand, and she didn't believe that he could endure this kind of work, because he didn't have the time at all.
But what Liu Ye didn't know was that although Weng Guimi didn't have time to do this, he would still pay attention to every word she said to him, he remembered the scene they were together, as long as he remembered it carefully, weaving cloth was not a problem for him.
The old king looked at him for two hours, and then he sat motionless, his hands winding the silk threads back and forth. What a boring job, but he enjoyed it with relish, and the expression on his face was very satisfied and happy.
The old sage king didn't know what he was thinking, but Weng Guimi was his son after all, and he knew that he had never forgotten that woman.
"Solang" the old sage king felt tired when he saw him, and after thinking about it, he still called him, "Don't weave, you can come and rest for a while."
"I'm not tired, father" Weng Guimi didn't look back and continued to weave, as if this was the most interesting thing in the world.
"Alas," sighed the old sage king, for there had been countless similar conversations, and that he had kept his son's man on the edge of the cliff, but had not been able to keep his heart.
"I'm not a stupid and stupid man, how did I give birth to such an unenlightened son When I was young, there were countless women who admired me, and they didn't ask for anything else, but just to stay with me overnight and raise children for me. Oh, although I have been in a hundred flowers, but I am not a promiscuous man, I know who is the woman I want, who is qualified to give birth to children for me" The old sage king poured himself a glass of wine, and he could still find a moment of joy when he recalled the past, "I really can't figure it out, I can't figure it out, my son has inherited my intelligence, but he is not as free and easy as me at all"
The old sage king was full of confidence, everyone on the grassland knew it, Weng Guimi smiled, and said without looking back: "Father doesn't need to be entangled, the answer is very simple, because I am more like my mother." β
Weng Guimi said that it has always been taboo for the old sage king, if it was before, he would be like thunder again, flipping the table and smashing the bench to scold him for being unfilial. But since the last time he walked through the ghost gate, he has taken everything lightly, and he has become more and more indulgent to his son, even if he pokes the key point in the face, he can laugh at it.
"Yes, to put it bluntly, you're just like your worthless mother." The old sage king raised his head and drank a glass of wine, half lying on the couch, leaning on the soft pillow and squinting his eyes, "Xiangnu, Xiangnu, you have seen it, your precious son doesn't take his Laozi in his eyes at all now, people often say that those who are Lao Tzu owe their sons in their previous lives, so they have to work hard in this life, it seems that this is not false at all."
"Xiangnu, your son was born well, unlike me, I can't count how many women's hearts I have hurt. But he won't, he'd rather be sad than hurt anyone, a man does this, I think it's too wretched, but I can't say he's bad. A man who values love and righteousness is a real manly man, and compared to him, I am a bastard. β
"I'm a bastard, I didn't cherish you well" The old sage king drank a few glasses of wine, and his speech began to be slurred, and his eyes were a little glazed, as if he was drunk and seemed to be crying, he liked this hazy feeling, as if Xiangnu had never left his side.
"You shouldn't have met me, you're so beautiful, the seven colors are not as good-looking as you, but why did you just let me bump into me, but you want to go with me, you know that I want to start when I see a beautiful girl, you know that I can't control myself, you will only cry sadly if you follow me, and what can I give you Silly girl, you are so stupid, you gave me a stupid son, and the result is also"
The old sage king choked up and couldn't speak anymore, Weng Guimi listened to him quietly, remembering that his mother's eyes were already moist. He looked back at his father, looking at his old tears, and suddenly, the last trace of resentment in his heart vanished.
He had loved her, and that was enough, and her mother was already satisfied
Weng Guimi walked over, sat beside his father, and patted him on the back: "It's over, don't mention it, and I'm with you, although I am your stupid son, I will definitely be filial to you, none of us should mention the past, let's live a good day."
"Son" Lao Xianwang grabbed his hand violently, stared at him with red eyes without blinking, and asked, "You tell the truth, have you ever hated your father?"
Weng Guimi hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then smiled again: "Didn't I say it, don't mention the past, why are you here again, you're really drunk, sleep, sleep, don't talk."
The old sage king lay down obediently, but he was still shaking his hand: "Son, don't complain about your father, your father just wants you to live a smooth life, don't be like your father, fight for a lifetime, regret for a lifetime, and still have nothing." I knew that today, I might as well have a good time with your mother, at least I can have a companion by my side now. β
"I understand, don't worry, I've figured it out, just as if nothing happened, I'm still the same me." Weng Guimi smiled and comforted him, "You sleep for a while, I'll finish weaving that cloth and make you your favorite mutton soup at night." β
The old man closed his eyes, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he felt very sorry for his son, because he still had many important things to say to him. For example, the real purpose of Jun Sumi's expansion of Chigu City, Ubuji's insidious intention to recommend Liu Ye as a supervisor, and the unknown fate of thousands of craftsmen in the Han Dynasty
Sending Liu Ye away that day, Lao Xianwang went to Elder Ubuji to discuss next month's marriage, but unexpectedly overheard the conversation between Ubuji and Jun Sumi.
"The king, now there is a strong opposition from the court and the central government, saying that you should not let Princess Xie Wu be the supervisor, let alone send all those Han craftsmen over. The Han people in Chigu City have a lot of eyeliners, and they will definitely report to the Han Emperor when they find out about the hinterland, but they are afraid that there will be endless troubles, should you tell them our plan so that they can dispel their doubts"
"It's not proper, these people can't do their jobs, they will only chirp and complain endlessly, and tell them how can they tell them clearly, when Akatani Castle is built, they will kill all those Han craftsmen. Still, Princess Xie Wu was just a bait to trick the Huns into taking the bait, so that the Huns and the Han soldiers could meet each other, and Wusun benefited from it. Elder Ubuji, these words must not be humanized to outsiders, you are confused, if this reaches Weng Guimi's ears, it will be a big trouble, this guy is stubborn and does not want to die, in order to save his friendship, he has to fight with us
ββ
The old sage king hesitated whether to tell Weng Guimi the truth, he said that he owed Liu Ye a life, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely repay it. However, this matter is too widely implicated, he is afraid that after Weng Guimi knows about it, he will be desperate to stop it, in case Weng Guimi encounters an accident, he will really regret it for the rest of his life.
