"She wanted to see you very much, but she hadn't seen you in so many years. She was worried that you would hate her."
"She was very conflicted. After a quarrel with your father, she ran away in anger. She spent several years at the Taoist temple learning martial arts from her master... your great master. She performed many earth-shattering feats."
"It's just that very few people know about these things. For example... that mountain of gold was created by your mother."
"She is an amazing person. She knows the direction of history. She wrote three pages of 'The Story of the Southern Branch'. She said she only knows what is in these three pages..."
After listening to Su Changsheng's long speech, Fu Xiaoguan realized that he was everything to this mother!
Xu Yunqing has been looking at him!
In Linjiang, in Jinling, in Qinling Mountains, in the deserted country...
She had the idea of meeting him many times, but she dismissed the idea countless times. She always said next time, but in the end, the next time never came.
She met her son in the border town, but it was so hasty that they didn't even say a few words. She just looked at him carefully and then left. This time she really left.
She was lying peacefully in the coffin, with a hint of regret on her face.
"Your mother was a remarkable woman. Back then in Jinling, her talent and learning were extremely renowned. She was the inventor of Hongxiuzhao's Tianxiang wine. It wasn't until you brewed Xishan Tianchun that you surpassed her."
"At that time, there were many people who admired your mother, including Wu Changfeng, Wu Dalang, Yu Baibai, Dong Kangping, Yan Shidao... and Fan Zigui, among others."
"In the end, your mother married Wu Changfeng, but without a wedding ceremony. It was done quietly. Wu Dalang said that Empress Dowager Xi did not allow it because she was very likely to know her identity."
"Oh, by the way, she really was once the Grand Elder of the Moon Worship Sect. I wasn't one of them. The list you once got was altered by your mother. She was a bit naughty and left my name on it."
"Her intention in becoming the Grand Elder of Cemen was to obtain that mountain of gold. Later, she took advantage of Empress Xiao of the Wu Dynasty poisoning her to fake her death and return to the Taoist temple. Everyone thought she was dead, but she was actually on the Yangtze River, mobilizing many ships to transport the gold."
"Those involved in this matter include Master, Wu Dalang, Huqin, and Wu Changfeng. In other words, we are the only five people in the world who know where the gold under the Confucius Temple went. She said... you are the only heir to this thing. Of course, Wu Changfeng has no objection, Wu Dalang has no objection, and Master and Huqin naturally have no objection either."
"So that mountain of gold was her plan, and now it's yours."
"The reason she hesitated to see you all these years was because she felt you were no longer her son. She once said this, but we didn't understand."
Fu Xiaoguan was suddenly shocked. He remembered that when he was in Jinling, his grandfather passed away and left him a wooden fish.
He smashed the wooden fish open, and inside was a letter—a letter Xu Yunqing left for him!
This letter begins with a poem "Xijiang Yue" and then goes on to say:
'I hesitated for a long time before leaving this letter, because I don't like you. You will die and then come back to life, and you will no longer be my son.
Mother dare not love you!
If you hadn't come, how could my son leave?
If I don't leave, I'm afraid I'll kill you with my own hands!'
This is the fundamental reason why Xu Yunqing was struggling over whether or not to meet Fu Xiaoguan!
Xu Yunqing knew that he had taken over her son's body, and she didn't know whether Fu Xiaoguan was still her son.
So many years have passed, and she has been watching silently. If Fu Xiaoguan committed a heinous crime, Xu Yunqing would kill him without hesitation.
But looking back over the years, Xu Yunqing discovered that Fu Xiaoguan did his job extremely well, better than anyone else in the world.
In this way, she gradually accepted her son and felt that such a son was also very good and her pride.
So she came out of the mountain and mobilized all her strength to help Fu Xiaoguan, including his pacification of the Huang Kingdom, and also this time's Jingzhe and Chunlei plans.
"Originally, the plan Ji Yungui had devised was so large that it inevitably had many flaws. Your mother was busy patching them up. When we last met at the Taoist temple, she was very happy."
"She said that after this time, you will be the common ruler of the world. She has accomplished a great thing. From now on, she will live in Guanyun City and take care of her grandson. Unfortunately... I arrived a step too late."
Fu Xiaoguan took a deep breath and asked, "Master, how did you know I was in the border town? Did my mother give you the news?"
Su Changsheng shook his head, "It was Wu Changfeng who gave me the news."
"I couldn't understand why Wu Changfeng hid himself if he didn't die."
"Now that I think about it, it's probably because if he doesn't die, Queen Mother Xi won't be able to reveal her true face. He knows that Queen Mother Xi is the leader of the Moon Worship Sect, but Queen Mother Xi is really his mother."
"He couldn't do anything to Queen Mother Xi. He was very worried that if you became emperor at that time, Queen Mother Xi would harm you. Because Queen Mother Xi always suspected that Xu Yunqing was not dead. If Xu Yunqing was not dead, she would be a traitor to the Moon Worship Cult."
Fu Xiaoguan's eyes widened. "So, he planned the avalanche himself?"
Su Changsheng nodded, "It's just that he didn't expect the avalanche to be so severe."
"Who saved him again?"
"The head of the inner factory at that time was Gao Xian."
Oh shit!
The eunuch whose property he had confiscated turned out to be Wu Changfeng's man!
"He was seriously injured in that avalanche and almost died. After being rescued by Gao Xian, he stayed at Hanling Temple. Until two years ago, he left Hanling Temple with Gao Xian and went to Fan State, where he became a monk at Baima Zen Monastery."
"Why did he become a monk again?"
"Because you took charge of the Wu Dynasty and did a much better job than he did."
Fu Xiaoguan thought about it carefully, but still didn't understand: "So what role does he play in this plan?"
"Master doesn't know either. Perhaps he knows nothing and was just being used by Fan Wuxiang."
"What's the conflict between him and my mother?"
Su Changsheng was silent for a long time, "Maybe... it's because of you."
"I?"
"Yes, after your mother gave birth to you, she was... a little strange for a while. She refused to feed you, refused to nurse you, and looked like she wanted to starve you to death. Wu Changsheng personally came to Linjiang and wanted to take you back, but your mother refused."
"Wu Dalang knows the truth better than anyone else. But Wu Dalang loves you very much and has always raised you as his own son. Even if he has raised you into a dandy boy, he is still very happy."
Su Changsheng looked at Fu Xiaoguan, "Master, I also have a question for you... Is it true that people can suddenly become enlightened and know everything?"
Fu Xiaoguan was silent for a long time, "Perhaps... this is God's will."
It was not true, but Su Changsheng nodded very seriously.
"The master is leaving."
"Where are you going?"
"Go find your senior brother and second senior brother."
Fu Xiaoguan was startled. "Master, please go west."
