Q11 Chapter 29
The meaning of Bamboo Horse and Green Plum Flower: a bamboo-made toy horse, refers to the "friendship during childhood". A very popular expression today is green plums and bamboo horse, which means "a girl and a boy play innocently together; a man and a woman who had an innocent affection for each other in childhood".

Chapter 29 The desire to Rise in Chaos

On the 7th day of February, the atmosphere was awful and stars were circling Yu Zitian's head. Meanwhile, Zhu Luan, was worn out.

  At the same time that Zhuge Yue learned Chu Qiao was captured by Zhuge Laotaiye, in  the Ancestral hall of the Wei Clan, Wei Guang was personally handing golden arrows to Wei Shu Ye. The old man's face was serious, " Shu Ye, do not disappoint this Uncle and the Ancestors of Wei."

   Wei Shu Ye lifted both of his hands up, palms flat, only looking at the golden arrows, his eyes staring intensely at them. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but like a dehydrated fish his mouth just moved, with no sound coming out.

   "Ye'er, the ancestors of Wei and your father too will visit you. Your duty, is to put your best into it.

   Wei Shu Ye frowned for a long time, then only slowly nodded: "Who?"

   Wei Guang faintly smiled, he moistened his finger in the tea and with the fragrant liquid wrote    down a single character.

   Wei Shu Ye's eyes widened, he could believe what he read but he still looked at the elder in his eyes, trying to seek an answer.

   "This is the meaning of Sheng Jin Palace. Child, go. You do not need to know the reason, you just need to know that everything you do is for the Wei Clan, for our history. That is enough.

   The young figure gradually disappeared as the light of sunset along the big open door irradiated into the room covering it in red, like blood. Wei Shu You stepped out from behind, and arrived at the old man's side, saluting respectfully, "Uncle."

   "Are you ready?"

   "Uncle, rest assured, everything has been arranged properly."

   "Hmmm," the old man lowered his head slightly, as he turned it to kowtow at the ancestor's spirit tablet and incense. His magnificent and expensive clothes touched the ground as the incenses ashes flickered on the ground.

   Wei Shu You, compared to Wei Shu Ye, was old, very steady and experienced. Seeing the old man getting up, he quickly stepped forward to hold Wei Guang's arm, then lightly spoke, "Uncle, do you have any thought or stratagems that can ensure success in the north?"

   "Haa ... ..." the old man quietly laughed, this laughter was not without irony: "Do not have."

   Wei Shu You frowned, puzzled, "The northern land is very wide, and there the people are sturdy, although the climate is bitter cold, it connects to the Western Regions, and has a bustling business. After they implemented several regulations, they started to have an abundance of capable people. Wang (title) Ye is a great person, and he is very kindhearted to the populace, thereby he gained their confidence. They deeply love him thus he won them without a fight."

   Wei Guang wrinkled his face and took a deep breath, then stated indifferently, "Ignorant persons may be innocent, but treasuring a jade ring is a crime. Do you know the reason for Sheng Jin Palace to be determined to eliminate him? A person not making an error for too long, that itself is a mistake. The right technique to navigate the path of politics is to focus on balance. Flourishing while Sheng Jin Palace is in decline, Yan Wangye is too blessed by the heavens,  no wonder why they have the desire to kill him."
