Chapter 20 Chapter 10 The Soul Returns

Fusu finally returned to Jiangli Mountain.He originally thought that he was doomed to have nowhere to turn to and die in a foreign land all his life.However, the verse sung in that ballad has come true after all. He saw the blue mountains and rivers in Jiuyi, and the flowing water in Yunmeng was as clear as before.Fengchen's old face was reflected in the water, and under the black cloak, his temples were like frost and snow. "Master's hair, did it turn gray that morning?" Ji Sun came quietly behind him. Fusu smiled lightly. "That day," Ji Sun said slowly, "Master must have seen her for the last time."

Fu Su said: "She told me a lot. It turns out that there are some things that I have never understood." "I don't understand what?" Ji Sun said, "I don't understand why she left Jiuyi with Wu Xiang back then and became Qing Kui's Mrs. Xiang. I don't understand why she must save Wu Xiang's life—is that so? ?” Fusu was slightly surprised. Ji Sun looked at Fusu seriously, and said, "Actually, I've always known." She raised her left wrist, and Fusu saw a mark on it, which was made with a sharp weapon. "When I saw this imprint when I was a child, I knew whose daughter I was. In fact, everyone in Youzu knew that this was the mark of my father's family, engraved on a gold ring passed down from generation to generation. So at that time, I knew who I was. What kind of responsibility do you have. So Master, when you gave me the responsibility of commanding orders, I did not hesitate. This is the responsibility that my father left to me from my blood."

She lowered her head and continued: "And my mother, of course, can only be Princess Qingkui wearing the ring. Father gave the ring to the princess, and the princess wore the ring and married an enemy in Jiuyi. That's twenty years." Fusu said, "That's not the case, Ji Sun." Ji Sun smiled and said, "Let me tell you, okay? Maybe what I think is the same as what Master wants to say. The princess did this because she decided to use herself to save the fate of her people and the green field of Jiuyi. She and Wu Xiang agreed that she would use her identity to help Wu Xiang ascend to the throne, and during Wu Xiang's reign, she could not harm the survivors of the You clan. Therefore, she could not let Wu Xiang die. Wu Xiang was her pawn to protect Jiuyi Mountain. After clearing the throne, we will continue to maintain this agreement."

Fusu nodded.That morning, in the depths of Cangwu Garden, Xiangling and him slowly recalled the past.In fact, he should have known it long ago, but his eyes were covered by emotion.He is not as good as his apprentice, and has never been a good commander.Xiang Ling was very calm and indifferent.She also talked about the lost daughter, now grown up.On the night Wu Xiang was assassinated, she saw a face that resembled her own.At that moment, she thought that maybe this was what she should do herself - she never forgot the hatred of the You Clan, but she didn't do that after all, instead she would rather Wu Xiang live.After all, she has been the queen of Wu Xiang for 20 years, and he has kept that agreement for 20 years, so maintaining the peace between Jiuyi Mountain and Qingkui Kingdom is the best choice.

How did Ji Sun guess all this? "I heard only a few words of Wu Xiang's dying words." Ji Sun said lightly, "I've thought about it for a long time these days, and it's not difficult to understand my mother's mood." But Fu Su never understood, just like Wu Xiang didn't understand Xiang Ling's thoughts in the end. "Master," Ji Sun said softly, "you also love your mother, right?" Fusu could only sigh. There were giggling sounds from the side of the stream, and Shan and Lian Ning played in the water together, splashing the waves on the old horse Huifeng, who flicked his tail in dissatisfaction.

"But all of this is over," Fusu said, "and, your mother is finally back." Ji Sun's eyes widened. Fusu pulled out a corner of white linen from his sleeve, "She gave me the last order." Ji Sun's eyes filled with tears.She put her fingers together on her chest and said the incantation. The spell burned, and a wisp of blue smoke rose from the light blue flame, lingering above the heads of the two of them for a long time, finally riding a gust of gentle wind, it floated away, and went far away along the river and landscape of Yunmeng. Fusu's full head of gorgeous hair flew up amidst the tears.

On the hills full of delicious Angelica dahurica flowers, there will always be a long and continuous song. Those who drink the water of Yunmeng will eventually return to that vast green field.
