THE ADVENTURES OF THE SON OF THE UNIVERSE
THE SIAO CUI DECISION
That morning after the funeral procession and the ceremony of the Duke Xiong Yi was completed.
Seen a beautiful woman dressed as a nun, standing face to face with Yu Ming .
"My son, is it true that your decision will be to leave Dan Yang today..?"
Ask the beautiful nun, with a pair of glassy eyes.
Yu Ming nodded slowly and said,
"Like the decision of the mother, who has chosen to break with the mortal world, take the Buddhist path.."
"My decision has also been unanimous Ma'am, I will continue my adventure freely.."
The beautiful nun, who was none other than Siao Cui, she let out a long sigh and said,
"Well my son, if that's your decision, be careful on the road.."
"Mom will help you pray for your safety, son.."
"If you have time, come back here occasionally, to worship your father.."
Yu Ming nodded and said,
"Good ma'am, Ming Er will remember it in the heart.."
Yu Ming turned his head towards his younger brother Xiong Ai, who was seen standing behind his mother with his head bowed.
"Ai's sister come here.."
Said Yu Ming quietly, waving his hand calling his sister over.
Xiong Ai with her head bowed, not daring to look at her mother's face.
He walked over to Yu Ming with his head bowed.
"So I'm sorry, can you not go..?"
Xiong Ai said softly.
Yu Ming smiled, he patted both shoulders of his sister gently and said,
"I've forgiven you, ever since you knelt before mom.."
"I'm not leaving today because of you, you don't feel too sorry for yourself.."
"I left because I had my personal duties and responsibilities for my future.."
Xiong Ai nodded slowly, with her head bowed in response to her brother's remark.
Yu Ming smiled gently, then said,
"Sister Ai, there's one piece of advice from me, a wife like clothes you don't like can throw away.."
"But our parents don't, they'll forever be attached to us.."
Xiong Ai nodded with his head bowed.
Yu Ming again said,
"One more thing, I don't know if you're willing to hear it or not.."
"After this matter, for the sake of the security of the Chu kingdom, I suggest that you send Xiang Yan to take over some of the territory of the Wu kingdom.."
"This is a punishment for the brave king Helu, sending his daughter to conspire in our kingdom.."
"You can send a letter to the emperor Ji Fa, asking for his support for this movement."
"I'm sure she'll give her support.."
"Wu Qi's sister from Wei is a talented person, don't I ostracize her, let her and Xiang Yan help you.."
"Chu will succeed, if the dragon and tiger are with you.."
Yu Ming said seriously.
Xiong Ai nodded, he knew and was familiar with Wu Qi, Wu Qi was a runaway general from two countries.
First from Lu country, there for the sake of finishing education, he did not return when his mother in Wei country died.
Second time in Lu country, he was in doubt to lead an army against the Qi state, because his wife was a Qi person.
He killed his own wife, in order to be believed to lead an army against Qi.
Although he finally managed to win the battle resplendently.
Due to her character being doubted by the state of Lu, she eventually moved back to the state of Wei.
Here he won hundreds of battles, and was invincible. But because of his arrogant, bold character, speaking frankly, sharp-mouthed.
He was eventually driven back from the state of Wei, charged with wanting to revolt.
But always rejected, because neither Xiong Yi nor Xiong Ai fit the character.
They still doubt his credibility, and his loyalty.
So until now Wu Qi is still experiencing exclusion in Chu.
Yu Ming saw the doubt in Xiong Ai's eyes, he said,
"My sister, use people do not doubt it, doubt it is better not to use it,.."
"You can choose like father, not use Wu Qi."
"That's entirely your right, brother only gives advice not necessarily ."
Xiong Ai looked at Yu Ming for a moment, then said,
"I will follow brother's advice, after this I will personally go invite him to the palace to help me.."
Yu Ming nodded his head, then he said quietly,
"Regarding sister-in-law, I have no comment, you just decide the good bad risks, for yourself and the Chu kingdom.."
Xiong Ai nodded slowly, and said,
"Okay, sister will remember, thanks for the advice.."
Yu Ming smiled smugly looking at his sister. Looking at his sister's face, Yu Ming was like seeing a reflection of his father's face when he was a child.
"It's not morning, it's time we part, take care of yourself.."
Said Yu Ming while patting his sister's arm.
After that, Yu Ming returned before his mother, prostrating himself three times before his mother's feet.
After that Yu Ming said,
"Mother, take good care of yourself.."
"Ming Er go first.."
Siao Cui wiped away his two collapsed tears and said,
"Go, I will pray for your safety and success.."
Yu Ming after giving a gentle smile towards his mother his sister was also his uncle Xiong Li who was present there .
He then turned his body around, walking quickly down the hill, leaving the burial place of Duke Xiong Yi.
A moment after Yu Ming left, Siao Cui let out a long sigh, then walked away from the place.
Xiong Ai hurriedly caught up with him and said,
"Mother come with me back to the palace, I'll prepare a special monastery for you.."
Siao Cui smiled blandly and said,
"No need, Your Majesty, let the servant stay at the temple of Phing An Se on the edge of the city is more than enough.."
"Mother don't be like this to Ai er.."
"Mother, forgive Ai er.."
Xiong Ai said sadly and regretfully.
Siao Cui turned his body walking away, so that his collapsed tears would not be visible to his son.
A few steps later he said,
"There is nothing to forgive.."
"As long as you become a wise king, who loves your people.."
"That can already be considered, I did not in vain, conceive give birth and raise you.."
Finished saying, Siao Cui immediately resumed his steps leaving the king's burial hill, without turning his head again.
Now only he and his uncle Xiong Li were still standing there.
Seeing the others already on the go, Xiong Li immediately stepped forward to approach his nephew and said,
"Ai Er, you take good care of yourself.."
"Uncle go first.."
"Uncle are you also leaving me..?"
Xiong Ai asked sadly.
