Yuan Tiangang's unresponsive eyes trembled slightly, but he remained silent.
Sun Simiao looked under the cliff and slowly said: "I don't know when, in this huge sky, there were only one lone wild goose flying in the swarms of wild geese..."
As he spoke, the old man took out a water hyacinth from his waist and filled the teacup that had already dried and changed color.
"Huh~~"
With a breath of air from the mouth, a flower petal mixed with withered leaves flew out of the pavilion.
Sun Simiao took a sip of tea and continued to talk to himself: "Look at these leaf petals, they rise and go with the wind."
"He takes the title of Imperial Master and takes on all this alone. Don't you think this is cruel to him?"
"Do you remember what he said when he first met you? What did he want most in life? What was he like at the beginning..."
Yuan Tiangang looked confused, and he couldn't help but recall the sounds of some conversations in his mind.
[Yuan Tiangang: A real man should have great ambitions, how can he be inactive? 】
[Li Yunxiao: Oh, isn’t it great to live freely and have no shortage of food and drink? 】
[Don’t worry, when I become prosperous one day, you will definitely follow me to become prosperous! 】
[Why do you have to worry about so much nonsense? Just let the three of us have a good time! 】
[Yuan Tiangang: Brother Yunxiao, why not join the court as an official? 】
[Li Yunxiao: Me? It’s difficult for me to even manage a small town. Don’t I know how much I weigh? But pull it down! Whoever you love should be treated as such, but I shouldn’t be treated as such! 】
"Who are you? Who... who's talking?"
Sun Simiao looked at Yuan Tiangang who was talking to himself, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
"Alas... the great ancestor Taizong left one after another, the court was in turmoil, the traitors and loyal ministers were in chaos, and this Li Chunfeng became the one who finally overpowered you."
Sun Simiao knew that Yuan Tiangang had been here for too long and had lost some memories. It could also be said that he was escaping and unwilling to think back.
"Li Chunfeng came to me decades ago. At first I didn't believe you would become like this, but now, hehehe..."
Sun Simiao slowly took out a brocade bag from his arms and placed it in front of Yuan Tiangang.
"Li Chunfeng has informed me of the location of this place a long time ago. Now that I have found you, I have fulfilled my promise to him."
Yuan Tiangang saw the kit but made no move.
Seeing this, Sun Simiao stepped forward to open the brocade bag, took out a note, and placed it in front of Yuan Tiangang.
[Brother Yuan, this is not like you. 】
[Brother Yuan should understand that what he has done since swallowing that pill has nothing to do with his thoughts or not, it is just fate. 】
[For decades, you have tried every means to escape because of Brother Yu, but Brother Yu still wants to say, this is your fate, and it is also our fate! 】
[Since you and I have always had different views on the law of heaven and hegemony, why don’t we take this last gamble and see what the Tang Dynasty will look like hundreds of years later...]
【You win! 】
【I still win! 】
The breeze blew and the letter trembled slightly on the table.
Yuan Tiangang slowly picked it up and turned it over.
On the back of the letter, there is a big word "good" written on it.
Yuan Tiangang looked at this passage written by his close friend Li Chunfeng and smiled...
But the smile was sad, with sobs...
He felt that his throat was tight, and there was no words between his lips, and he couldn't say a word.
At this time, the little girl who came back with the fruit was slightly startled when she saw this scene.
"Master, why did you make him cry?"
Sun Simiao said calmly: "Are you crying? He is obviously smiling."
The little girl snorted: "It is indeed a smile, but this kind of smile is definitely not happy, I can hear it."
Sun Simiao pulled the little girl over: "Master, please come in. Cultivation is personal. You have learned a lot from master. You can take these books."
"From now on, you can follow him. Master, I will also go outside to live freely. I have been tired for nearly a hundred years, and I am tired too, hahahaha..."
Although the little girl was a little reluctant to leave, she had long known that her master was leaving, so she didn't try to hold him back because she had heard about this matter no less than a thousand times when she was sensible.
"Then what should I call him in the future?"
Sun Simiao touched the little girl's head: "Just call him father. When you grow up, you can change your name to something else."
The little girl said indifferently: "Okay."
After the words fell, the little girl put the fruit on the table and said, "Master, I'm going to cry later. Let's eat something first."
Regardless of whether Yuan Tiangang ate it or not, the little girl put down the fruit and muttered: "These days are really weird."
"When I came here, I also cried when I met the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty. You were a national master before, and you cried too. I really don't understand why you are so sad."
Yuan Tiangang's sobbing stopped after hearing the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty also cry a few words.
Seeing this, Sun Simiao took out a medical book and a small package from his arms.
"This book Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate was made by Bian Que during his lifetime. When I first taught you the method of acupuncture, I forgot this book, so I give it to you now."
"There is also this set of Huayang needles, which were left by Bian Que and are also given to you."
"I once heard someone say that when I am protecting the country and joining the world to help the common people, it is better to relax and go out for a walk. The world is a mess, but there are places that treat people sincerely, and there are also people who treat people sincerely."
"Okay, whether you listen or not, I have handed over the things to you, and I have also given you my good disciple for adoption."
"There are also donkeys at the foot of the mountain. I'll give them to you too. The old man is gone."
"Master, I'll see you off!"
"good."
Just as the two were about to go down, Yuan Tiangang suddenly murmured:
"What else can I do while I'm alive..."
Just as he was about to go down, Sun Simiao was suddenly startled: "Ouch, look at my head, I almost forgot!"
"Li Chunfeng also asked me to tell you something: to open up the country and govern the country, don't think about what you can do in life, but think about what you must do."
Looking at Yuan Tiangang who showed no reaction at all, Sun Simiao sighed, shook his head, and walked down with the help of the little girl.
After the two left, Yuan Tiangang tremblingly opened the brocade bag that had not been opened for decades.
There were only five words written on it.
[Chang'an, Anle Pavilion]
....
Several months passed.
Inside the palace.
Li Xian stepped on the stool, looked down at Li Yifu and said with a smile:
"How do you like it? Are you convinced? Do you want a few more?"
Li Yifu put the four twos and two kings in his hand.
"Your Majesty is really good at playing cards, old minister, he is far inferior."
Li Xian laughed loudly: "You, do you think I don't know that you still have cards to play?"
"Well, how about we play mahjong and chess games of your choice! I'll make you convinced that you lost!"
Li Yifu sighed, thinking that if he played with you like this, the commander would not kill him if he found out.
"Your Majesty, why do you put so much effort into such a small game? Don't forget that you will be in danger if you forget to fight... Your Majesty should..."
"Stop, stop, stop, it's not like I don't read books. The game is small, but it can be urinating or big. There is no war now. When my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses are strong, I will sweep the surrounding Tibetan countries and expand the territory of my Tang Dynasty! "
Li Yifu sighed, feeling a little helpless.
This emperor's thinking is really simple. Does fighting seem like child's play to him? How many people have to pave the way with sweat and blood.
At this moment, the maid suddenly came over and saluted: "Your Majesty, Crown Princess, no, no, no, the queen would like you to come over. She said she has something important to discuss."
Now that Li Xian is proclaimed emperor, the princess should become the queen, but she has not been named queen yet, so the servants really don't know how to call her queen.
Li Xian didn't care and just nodded: "Okay, that's it for today, let's go."
After the words fell, Li Xian stood up and left.
