Rizhao heard this, he frowned: "As the representative of Chongxuan family, you came to Yangguo, yet you are actually a person from Zhuangguo"Jiang Wang was taken aback, not quite understanding the man...Qiantang is the largest river within the territory of Yue, and in terms of fame, it rivals Yunmeng Marsh in Chu.
If the vast and misty expanse of Yunmengze is compared to a goddess who is far away and difficult to reach, then the Qiantang River should be a mighty and proud man beating drums and singing. Every time in the wind and clouds, he roars and shouts.
Perhaps the sturdy soul within that slender frame had come to fruition from then on.
When Gao Zheng made the agreement at the Immortal Alliance, he modestly said: "Yue Country has nothing but Qian Tang."
Although it is a humble statement, it can roughly be seen that Qiantang River holds an important position in the Yue Kingdom.
Therefore, Zhou Sizhun, the general who commanded the Qian Tang water forces, was truly the first person in the Yue Kingdom military, officially ranking above Bian Liang, the Yue Jiajia champion.
Gao Zheng had also composed a song for the Qiantang River before his death, the most famous of which was "Gu Zhou Ji Xin" (The Lone Boat Sends a Message). This piece was included in "Qu Le Qian Qiu" (A Thousand Years of Music) compiled by Ji Li of Mu Gu Book Hall in recent years and rated as "the first song of Yue Opera".
Some time ago, when Yue Ting was given a state funeral by Emperor Wenjing, the emperor personally carried his coffin. Civil and military officials all went to pay their respects. Outside the cemetery, wreaths formed a sea... Mourners still come today.
On the day Gao Zheng was laid to rest, over three thousand scholars gathered spontaneously by the Qiantang River. They played this piece together on the riverbank, and when it ended, many people wept in grief. Gao Zheng's love for the Qiantang River, his fondness for the land of Yue, leaped from every string of the qin.
Gao Zheng, who devoted his life to Yue and established an immortal legacy, finally died on the levee of Qian Tang River, his soul swept away by the tide. Perhaps people can find solace here, saying that he died in the right place.
Many things are meaningless to the deceased, but they are the only comfort left for the living.
It has been quite some time since the battle at Yunlai Peak.
The soul, returning from the sea of five realms and the mists of oblivion, the renegade Fei, clashed with Zhongli Yan, the proud martial arts master of the southern realm, in a sudden and deadly duel. The outcome, shockingly unexpected, brought an abrupt end to the confrontation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This battle, which should have shaken the Southern Region and even reached the ears of the entire world, did not spread far under the tacit understanding between the Chu and Yue nations.
The commotion ceased at the Temple of the Duke of Yue, and news spread through the high ranks of Chu.
Zhongli Yan, on the brink of death, was sent back to Chu. Ge Fei remained in Yue—the court probably didn't know what status to assign him even today, so he stayed at Yinxiang Peak.
But he no longer had to feign ignorance.
The State of Chu seems to have made its choice.
>
Silence is attitude.
Chu Guo obviously didn't want to become a roadblock for Huang Wei. Even though they had a thorn named Wu Ling deeply embedded in their flesh, unable to be removed, they chose to wait patiently for the right moment and observe the changing situation.
Please note that I've only translated the content within the > tags. HTML tags are not translated.
To be honest, it's remarkable that the mighty Chu state could endure such provocation from Gao Zheng and not immediately mobilize its troops to attack Yue. If they truly wanted to conquer a mere Yue state, surely they could find an excuse
>
But the State of Chu was strangely silent!
He didn't even mention the rumors, nor did he say a word about Wu Ling's death. It was as if Duke An Guo's silence after returning from Yuxian Forest was already the result of that matter.
That was the heir of a prominent noble family, even more esteemed than an ordinary prince!
From Zhou Siti Xun's perspective, such a Chu state was even more terrifying. He would rather have the King of Chu go into a rage and raise an army of millions, or Wu Zhao Chang, the Duke of An Guo, break his own restraint and attack with his sword.
It is perfectly normal for Chu to remain rational when facing Jing and Qin. But facing Yue, a nation that could be destroyed in a snap of the fingers, it still manages to show such restraint.
If they could maintain such peace, Yue would naturally be very willing. Even if they were able to remain blameless in the revolt incident and even if they had created enough pretexts for third-party forces to intervene, ultimately Yue's strength was far inferior to Chu's, and they couldn't match Chu head-on.
Even if they stood together in a great war, with the weight of books as their support and Qin Jing intervening, it would be difficult for Yue to protect its country. At most, it would only be using the blood of Yue people to stain the face of Chu!
Peace is precisely what the Yue Kingdom desires. Although Wen Jingxiu, in front of Zhuge Yi's Xing Shen, put on a prickly demeanor, this was still language of defense.
> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But peace can never be achieved.
Today, the South Region is calm and peaceful. But anyone with eyes can see the undercurrents brewing beneath the surface. Things are far from simple, this round is far from over.
Haven't you seen that the Nandou Palace has been boasting for so many years The Chu Emperor only made two moves, one to abolish his imperial title and the other to destroy his lineage. His timing was perfect, his grasp precise, a master who could slaughter an entire kingdom.
Now that Chu has suffered such a heavy loss, knowing how Wu Ling died, how could they possibly endure this any longer
What is Chu waiting for This pending decision, what kind of thunderous outcome will it ultimately bring
Gao Zheng had pinned the chessboard to Huang Wei's body, wanting to soar with the Nine Phoenixes... Did he calculate things to this point
Zhou Sithun had no answers. But he understood that the situation had reached a point of no return. Yue Guo was now in a precarious position, forced to see where this path would lead them.
Yue Guo's biased troops are capable of being defeated, and Gao Zheng died from a slight wave. In this round, the most important thing for Chu Guo to pay attention to has always been Huang Wei Zhen. The final result of this round, or perhaps it also depends on Huang Wei Zhen to finish.
Zhou Sithun understood very well—during this coming period, Yue state would be best served not letting Chu state find any pretext.
But he had to do what came next.
When playing against a behemoth like the Chu State, sometimes taking risks is unavoidable.
In fact, sitting at this chessboard is already the greatest adventure!
>
Looking at the world, who else has the qualifications to play chess against Chu State Those who are not qualified and still want to join in have to offer their lives on the board.
Now, this water army governor was walking on the bottom of the Qian Tang River. The magnificent world of waves surged above his head.
>
He was in a narrow space, like a semi-transparent corridor woven from water ripples at the bottom of a river. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor, but not many, adding up to only thirty in total.

It resembled a branch laden with thirty fruits, or perhaps thirty-legged water scorpions - indeed, this was its manifestation in the world.

It was just such a tiny water scorpion, drifting with the current at the bottom of the water. Sometimes it would be swallowed by a big fish and then spat out again, sometimes it would get caught in the weeds.
In the context of our physical reality, this space does not exist.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The smaller it is, the better it will hide. A larger space would leave more traces.
This is the lower region of Qiantang's underground palace, even deeper than the prison of Qiantang water. Only he and the King of Yue know about this place—those who knew before include Gaozheng as well.
This place has no name, and Zhou Sithun would not give it a nickname privately, because a name is also a connection and can become a line that is calculated.
Its history is very ancient, dating back to the reign of King Wenzhong of Yue. Of course, there is no record in historical texts, nor any mention in folk tales.
Its key was only passed down among the emperors of Yue, and its existence was always overseen by the Inspector General of the Qian Tang Water Army.
For so many years, these thirty rooms have never been full.
Flowers, magic artifacts, and inscriptions—everything in the corridor was arranged to erase all traces of existence and isolate divination.
Or, perhaps a more intuitive comparison - even the emperor's palace in Yueguo pales in comparison to the secrecy of this place.
If Fengdu were willing to make any sacrifice, it might be able to find out what posture Wenjing Xius slept in at night, but it would be impossible to learn anything else about this place.
Zhou Sithun wore a leather coat that covered his head, his tall frame feeling quite stifled. This was done to cut off karmic ties. He walked slowly forward and finally stopped outside a room.
The people who live in this place are beings unconnected to the karmic consequences of this world. In other words, they cannot be associated with people or nations beyond the realm.
Tap tap tap.
Zhou Sithun knocked on the door.
There was complete silence in the room.
Zhou Sithun didn't mind. He just reached his hand into the indentation that suddenly appeared in the wall, picked out a few square mud blocks, and arranged them into a sentence —
>
"Zhang Jiefu, it's your time to act."
He put the characters in place and then turned to leave.
After he left, the crystal door slowly opened, but only slightly. The room was a blinding white, and nothing could be seen at the end of the hallway.
Time seemed to stand still, with no change occurring for a long time.
Until—a withered, gaunt, and bark-like hand suddenly reached out and grasped the door frame!
The pen moves across the paper, Zhong Xuan drawing a turtle on it.
Nobody would have thought that a respected and upright historian like Zhen Ren, known for his honest writing, would draw turtles on paper. Therefore, this incident added a touch of amusement and made it possible to become reality.
There's no way around it, the operations at Tai Xu Pavilion have stabilized. The functioning of the Tai Xu Illusion has become routine, and rarely are there major events requiring the attention of all pavilion members.
As the representative of Jingguo's interests, Li Yi had his work absenteeism cured by Jiang Wang. However, the atmosphere of absenteeism brought by Li Yi intensified after he testified.
There were only a few attendees at the last meeting.
Usually, when Zhong Xuan and Ju Kui had something to discuss with other members of the group, they couldn't find anyone available.
With the absence of Dou Zhao, that hot-headed troublemaker, and Jiang Wang, who always stirred up chaos, Tai Xu Pavilion became remarkably quiet.
Cangming doesn't like to speak, Huang Sheli doesn't like to talk to those who are not good-looking enough, and Li Yi...doesn't speak. Now the Taixu Conference is like a pot of cold water, everyone looks at each other, listens to Ju Kui Zhaoben recite some nonsense and then it ends. It's really boring.

Today is the 3rd lunar month of the 28th year of Da Li, June 9th. This marks the time for the 6th Taixu Conference to convene.
The weather was scorching hot, and the sunlight that streamed into Tai Xu Pavilion's attic seemed to emphasize it.

Zhong Xuan was so bored that he drew a turtle on paper.
To say that it is a tempestuous history of heroes and villains, this statement is not without merit. If history were devoid of turbulence, writing history would indeed be a tedious affair.

The endless wandering sound suddenly stopped, and in its place was a voice that felt strangely familiar — "Good morning, Mr. Zhong!"
Zhong Xuan's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look, and saw the always-causing-trouble Jiang Ge yuan already greeting the drama crew.
The historian, Shijia Zhenren, unconsciously sat up straight, replacing the sketch paper with a formal letter. He tentatively asked, “Mr. Jiang, you specially attended today’s meeting. Do you have any proposals Would it be convenient to discuss them with me beforehand”
Jiang Wang furrowed her brow: "Zhong Ge yuan, your words sound a bit off to me. Didn't I just miss one meeting because I was busy slaying the Asura King You're staring at me like I'm the one who frequently skips work!"
Here is the translation of your text:
Li Yi, who had been absent from work many times, sat there, lost in thought. He perhaps didn't realize that someone was calling him, or maybe he just didn't care; whatever the reason, he remained silent.
"I see now, Grandmaster Jiang! It was precisely because I saw your diligence in managing the affairs of the state that I asked you this way." Zhong Xuan said: "When I come to record history in the future, I will write it down heavily, saying that you worked hard."
Jiang Wang seemed to have just realized who was the one judging the merits and demerits of history, his attitude improved considerably: "Of course, considering our relationship, you can ask anything you want, and I wouldn't dare not answer, would I Well, there is indeed a proposal."
He blurted out, “I propose building a Taixu Corner Pavilion in the Tianyu world and laying out the Taixu Fantasy Realm! Now that communication between the two sides is inconvenient, I often miss lone true demons, delaying many important matters!”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
"Ju Kui said seriously: "The members of Chongxuan Pavilion have put in great effort to build the Tai Xu Jiao Lou in Yu Yuan. The complexity of the demon world is a hundred times more than that of our human world. Not to mention whether the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm can be laid out, the bigger problem is whether the safety of the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm can be guaranteed after it is laid out - given the current situation, Jiang Pavilion's proposal is almost impossible."
"If it's not realistic, then let's not mention it." Jiang Wang shrugged. He was just going through the motions, after all. Currently, besides eliminating the Eighteen True Ones of the alien race, he didn't really have anything else to do.
Though the topic was about to end, when facing Jiang Wang's gaze for too long, the lightning-shaped mark between his brows suddenly twitched. In that instant, it was as if a vertically slit pupil had opened. He looked deeply at Jiang Wang: "Jiang official's cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds, truly a blessing for our human race!"
Jiang Wang was just about to be humble for a few words, when his eyes suddenly jumped and he saw Li Yi, who was silently turning his fingers beside him. He immediately lost his interest in talking. After all, talking about cultivation in front of Li Yi, who had already attained enlightenment, wasn't a very interesting thing to do. He just said, "Where, where!"
Many members were still absent from this Tai Xu meeting, including Chong Xuan, Qin Zhizhen, and Dou Zhao. The three of them did not come.
The first two were still in Yu Yuan's nest because Jiang Wang kept running back and forth on the battlefields, so they couldn't relax.
The latter is probably still competing in the Meteor Immortal Forest.
“This time only three people were absent, it’s alright.” Zhong Xuan said as he recorded.
Jiang Wang let out a disapproving sigh: "They really don't take this meeting seriously!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Huang Sheli had long wanted to repair the friendship, but Jiang Wang's trip this time to Bianhuang didn't even go to Jingguo. It left her with all her energy and nowhere to put it. At this moment, she immediately chimed in: "I strongly request a fine! For council members who repeatedly arrive late or skip meetings, we should heavily fine them spirit stones, so they know the pain!"
“Oh no, not possible!” Jiang Wang quickly stopped him. Could those coins even be considered money to the other members They were practically a fortune to him, Jiang Mou! A whole Yun Ding Immortal Palace had been under construction for so long and still needed a hefty sum.
Everything being equal, is actually everything being unequal. Can the poor and the rich be punished with the same amount of money
He said gravely: "Our Taixu Pavilion is bound by a sense of responsibility, not money. Your ideas are dangerous! They go against the ethos of Taixu Pavilion!"
"Yes, yes. Perhaps Mr. Jiang has considered it more thoroughly." Huang Sheli admitted his mistake and tried to appease him, raising his hand and saying, "I withdraw my proposal."

The director couldn't bear to see them so unserious. He lightly coughed and said, "If you have any proposals, you can start now."
Now nobody said anything.
The actor finally got the peace and quiet he wanted.
Zhong Xuan watched the expression on Ji Kui's face with amusement. He was a man who found pleasure in the mundane, otherwise he couldn't have devoted himself to writing history.
The director, expressionless, tapped the armrest and was about to declare the meeting adjourned, but suddenly his face changed. "There's an emergency proposal that needs a vote from all of you," he said.
This Taoist master rarely displayed such overt emotions, and all the court officials couldn't help but look over.

The Grand Tutor looked around the room, his gaze sweeping over everyone. In a serious tone, he said, "Chu State has officially submitted a letter, requesting that Zhongli Yan replace Dou Zhao as a member of the Taixu Pavilion. Fellow members of the Pavilion—please vote on this matter."
