Chapter 38: Kite

hroughout the day. The emperor said, 'The prince is intoxicated by his success, arrogant and careless. He should be confined to the palace for a month to reflect on himself...' That's how it all came...Huang Yixing fell to his death at Dongcheng Gate, which faces directly across from Linzi.

Jiang Wang and Lin Youxie arrived at the city gate.

Under the cover of night, Zhaoheng City looked like a monstrous beast lurking in the shadows.

The city wall of this city is very tall, after all, it was once known as "Tianxiong."

The ambition is grand, this name speaks volumes.

The Tianxiong City that it represents, within the Nine Countries born from the remnants of the Dayang Kingdom, once held the most powerful military force.

All that has passed.

Now the Yang Guo Temple has been completely demolished, and the last ruler died in a battle. The bloodline of the Yang Guo clan has also been sacrificed by Yang Jiande's demonic arts. The nation is destroyed.

No more news from the former court of the sun's realm, nor have I seen anyone who cherishes the memories of it.

There are plenty of people like Huang Yi-xing, who thrive in the Qi state as if they were fish in water.

The moon hangs solitary in the air.

One second lwxo

Lin Youxie stood facing the city gate tower, as if imagining the scene at that time. How did Huang Yixing climb onto the tower, and how did he fall

"From the body, did you see anything" Jiang Wang only found an opening to ask at this time.

“The details of Huang Yixing’s muscles tell me he was very afraid before his death,” Lin Youxie said.

"But from his expression, and that painting…" Jiang Wang stopped here. “Is there something wrong with the head catcher”

“Not necessarily.” Lin Youxie shook his head. “There are three levels of concealment: expression, mood, and inner feelings. Inner feelings are the instinctive reactions of subtle parts of the body. His expressions and moods were well-crafted, so it’s normal that they weren’t detected.”

Manufacturing

Jiang Wang caught that word.

The expressions, moods, and innuendoes were also fresh to his ears.

Lin Youxie continued, "Huang Yixing was resisting something before his death, but there was indeed no other force in his body. The only thing I can confirm now is that he definitely didn't commit suicide. Furthermore, it's easily seen that his organs were all intact before he fell from a height. That is to say, his resistance wasn't fierce. The person who turned him into this state either possesses terrifying strength or some peculiar methods."

Jiang Wang found it hard to understand how this "easy to see" was so easy. But that didn't stop him from participating in the discussion.

"Could it be something like a blood and flesh puppet"

"I can't say for sure, I haven't found any strings to pull. Those extraordinary methods aren't limited to puppets alone. There are many possibilities."

Lin Youxie said, leaping to his feet: "I'll go up to the city wall and have a look."

Dressed in a neutral outfit, she leapt onto the high tower, her garments fluttering in the wind.

Only then did Jiang Wang realize that this person was really too thin.

At this moment, flying in the night sky, like a thin kite.

And the thread tethered to her, vanished into the night sky of Qi.

She may have some vulnerable parts, which are well concealed by her usual demeanor and actions.

She was nearly cold, to everyone and herself.

How's it going

Jiang Wang stood below and asked.

"No matter what happens later, don't worry about me." Lin Youxie said very calmly.

Jiang Wang hadn't figured out the meaning of the sentence when he saw Lin Youxie suddenly turn around, facing away from this side, and fall backwards!

Even her surrounding Dao Yuan had dissipated!

Jiang Wang instinctively wanted to reach out and take it, but remembering Lin Youxie's request just now, she stopped halfway.

Only a small amount of wind element was released, swirling slightly near the ground to react at any time.

Lin Youxie plummeted until he was only two inches from the ground, then abruptly stopped. He transitioned from extreme motion to utter stillness, flipping himself over and rising to his feet.

She certainly felt the wind ruffling her skirts, but she didn't say a word. She simply rose again, soaring to the top of the city gate tower, peeled off a black tile, and let it fall.

"When I just fell down, I saw this," Lin Youxie said.

Jiang Wang took the black tile, and at its bottom, he saw a line of words:

>

"Fengli Kiln Town."

After a while, two more boys appeared, labeled "Imperial Script."

“Yangwen,” Jiang Wang said.

"Which one is yang" Lin Youxie asked.

It was only then that Jiang Wang realized what had happened.

He has already practiced the secret art of the Dayang Kingdom's royal family, the Dry Yang Eye. Later, he also learned the superior Taoist technique "Dragon and Tiger", so he has some understanding of the Dayang Kingdom's language.

>

The characters on this black tile are very similar to those of the Dayang Kingdom, but with slight variations. They should be the script of the Yang Kingdom.

Therefore, he said, "Yang Jiande's Yang."

“Do you still recognize Yang Guo’s script” Lin Youxie was a little surprised.

Jiang Wang said honestly, "I know the characters of the Great Yang Empire that unified the Eastern Regions. This character is very similar to it, just slightly changed, and not difficult to understand."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What is it about" Lin Youxie asked.

Jiang Wang then read it aloud.

Lin Youxie looked at him, his eyes clearly saying — I didn't expect you to actually read!

“Is there anything wrong with this” Jiang Wang asked.

Of course, he was asking about the case.

Huang Yixing's eyes were remarkably well-preserved. Even in the details of his eyeballs, one could see that prior to completely losing consciousness, the arc of his vision was very clear. "I just stood where Huang Yixing fell from the city and recreated his trajectory and state as he plummeted. Then I saw this." Lin Youxie said.

She emphasized firmly, "Huang Yixing must have seen this before he died."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang still didn't know how she determined this, nor did she know how she could see the field of vision from a dead person's eyes and accurately correspond it to the crime scene. The Qingpai family had its own secrets.

Just speaking of this piece of black tile.

Yang Guo's written language and calendar system had long been lost, and they continued to use those of the State of Qi. This old tile may very well be one of the few remaining traces of Yang Guo's writing in the world today.

Although the script of Qi State incorporated some elements from Yang Guo, it had already diverged significantly, possessing its own distinct characteristics and identity.

Huang Yixing, riding on the prestige of the former chancellor Yang Jun and his ministers, won fame and the position of pacifier for Zhending County. However, he was not truly respected by the high-ranking officials of Qi State. What was his state of mind when he saw the writing of Yang Guo as he was about to die in the besieged city

>

Jiang Wang opened the painting scroll again, looking at Huang Yixing's gaze from when he died, a look that was almost piercing through the paper.

“He who slays the yellow with righteousness is a man of yang!” His voice carried an unspeakable emotion.

>

The emotional swings weren't caused by discovering the truth, but rather because the truth seemed to align with the orders he had received.

Compared to him, Lin Youxie was much calmer.

"This case may be connected to Zhao Xuan's death," she said to Jiang Wang.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zhaoxuan, an official from the Ministry of Rites, was originally from Yang State. He defected to Qi State before Yang State's destruction. He was assassinated on Xiaolian Bridge in Linzi.

“Oh, is that so.” Jiang Wang regained his composure.

Lin Youxie perhaps has a veiled reference to the meaning of hell having no gate.

But Jiang Wang didn't think so.

He suddenly thought of something.

He had once gone overseas to capture the Golden Needle Gate traitor, Wu Yuyi. He used the power of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance on Hai Men Island and orchestrated an auction. At that auction, besides the翠芳蘿 brought by Lin Youxie, there was another item that impressed him deeply——

Legend has it that the fragments that fell from above the sun are called Blaze Stones!

When dissecting Huang's corpse, Lin Youxie used two words to describe the gold in his lungs: "sharp" and "fierce."

Huang Yixing, although he had the courage to risk his life for wealth and honor, was by no means sharp or fierce. According to records, the martial arts he practiced were also mild in nature.

He felt something was off at the time, but he missed the inspiration.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered, "Sharp" and "violent," weren't they exactly the feelings that the fiery meteorite had given him back then

Therefore, he naturally thought of...

Ah-tsu!

That's Ace from the Heavenly Mansion!

The leader of that inept assassination organization that promised to deliver his letter to King Yang's palace.

On the day the Battle of Qiyang ended, he met with A-Ce.

On Heimen Island, at the singing competition, he also saw A-Ce!ent.The Golden Armor Ape Dream's outer body had a circle of golden light, probably a means left behind by the Heavenly Demon Ape Immortal Court to protect him from danger.In the mirrored world, Jiang...
