Jiang Wang was so angry with Yin Guan that he almost wanted to report him to the court of Qu Guo.
At the beginning, when the general from Qu Guo's border town was stabbed by Di Ge Wu Men, Qu Guo issued a wanted notice, vowing to exterminate Di Ge Wu Men. After failing to capture him through the wanted notice, they quietly withdrew it themselves...
This is a matter of no consequence any longer. After all, the Hell's Gate isn't an organization with personal vendettas; they only do business and don't intentionally target anyone. But the fact that they are openly present within Qu territory... well, it feels like they're practically dancing on Qu's face.
Once the imperial court of QuGuo knew that Hell's Gate was currently in YuGuang City, one could only imagine the fierce reaction...
Of course, it's just wishful thinking.
With Yin Guanhù protecting him, it was impossible to capture Yang Xuance. Jiang Wang therefore continued on his journey.
This text is just an example.
After leaving Qu Guo and entering the territory of Zheng Guo, he heard a piece of news —
Because of the incident where the country of Xiang seized an Axu merchant caravan without reason, friction arose between the two countries. After several rounds of negotiations failed, the Axu country brazenly sent troops to attack!

Now, the armies of Xiang and Xu are both stationed at Xingyue Plain, facing each other.
...Zhong Xuan Sheng's big move... is here!

Lately, there have been a lot more people in the territory of Zheng Guo. Most of them were small factions who used to operate in Xingyueyuan.
The two countries went to war, and they chose the Starmoon Plain as their battlefield. These rabble-rousers, who didn't belong to either side, scattered like monkeys.

No matter how long they've been here, lived here, or how deep their feelings are...
When the city gate catches fire, even the fish in the pond will be affected.
The cruelty of the world goes beyond this.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A massive army, clearing the Star Moon Plains of Xiang and Xu, two nations under its control, appeared imposing. They were nothing more than pawns in the hands of the hegemonic power.
What about the seizure of caravans and claiming to be acting for the people Ultimately, it's just carrying out the will of the Jing and Qi states.
Even though these two countries had no desire for war and couldn't find any benefit in fighting, they were forced into conflict.
The battle between Xiang and Xu in Xinyueyuan can be seen as a vanguard battle between the Jing and Qi states.
From this journey around the grassland, Jiang Wang believed that the Battle of Jingmu was inevitable. Before he left the grassland, Tie Fu Tu, the sixth ranked cavalry unit in the world, had already marched to Liyuan City. The Sheng Kingdom could not possibly recapture this border fortress on its own.
And in this kind of situation, on this starlit night, the sudden eruption of conflict between the Xiang and Xu countries is enough to illustrate Jing country's arrogance.
Jing Guo was unwilling to fight both major powers simultaneously, but it also couldn't bear to see Qi Guo take too much advantage. Therefore, Jing Guo wanted to test Qi Guo's strength at Xingyueyuan.
Of course, judging from the current situation, Jing Guo's main force won't come to Xingyueyuan. This is also why Jiang Wang sees this battle on Xingyueyuan as a test.

The outcome of this battle will directly determine the attitude of the two hegemonic nations.
If the Xuguo, supported by Qi, were to be defeated in one battle and perish, Jingguo could also fight on two fronts without any harm. Conversely, if the war against Xiangguo is fought easily, then it would be a natural choice for Qi to invade Zhongyu smoothly.
But all of this, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
The State of Zheng was to the north of Xinyueyuan, and Hanging Temple was to the south of Xinyueyuan.

The country of Elephant and the country of Rising Sun are opposed to each other in the east and west.
After leaving the State of Zheng, Jiang Wang bypassed Xingyue Plain. Because the State of Xu was preparing for war, he did not pass through the State of Xu but went around its eastern border, traveling alone towards Hanging Temple.

This route is already very close to the state of Qi...
Although it hasn't entered the territory of Xuguo, one can still imagine that the atmosphere in Xuguo is not light. This war may be just a test for Qijing, but for Xuguo and Xiangguo, it is a war to the death, truly facing the danger of national extinction!
On the road, I occasionally met some people from Xu, most of whom were going to Qi under various pretexts. They all had gloomy expressions when they encountered me.
In such an atmosphere, Jiang Wang finally arrived at the Hanging Temple.
But how do I contact Qingli
He is in trouble.
A cloak like this wouldn't get anyone's attention. But the fact that he was currently missing made it impossible to reveal his identity publicly.
Jiang Wang wandered around in the dirt of Xuankong Temple for a long time, and finally found a relatively clever-looking young boy on the street. He stopped him and was about to speak...
>
The little boy turned and ran.
Jiang Wang was taken aback, and then he realized that his outfit - a cloak, rough clothes, and a dragon-headed staff - did indeed look like that of a villain.
In the territory of this temple in mid-air, there were all ordinary people. It's likely that no one here knows him.
He took off his cloak and put away his dragon-headed staff, then searched for another target. He found a handsome young boy and in the gentlest voice he could muster said, "Young man, would you do me a favor"
He pulled out a piece of broken silver, shook it in his hand: “Run an errand for me, and this silver is yours.”
This little boy clasped his hands together and bowed to him: "If you have something to say, please speak. I don't want any silver."
"Huh" Jiang Wang was startled. "Why"
The little boy's expression was very serious: "I will do one good deed a day."
As expected of the land belonging to the Xuankong Temple, an Eastern sacred place of Buddhism!
Looking into the child's clear eyes, Jiang Wang actually felt ashamed.
As a person on the verge of adulthood, he had almost adapted to the so-called "reality" where everything was judged by interests. He had forgotten that life... wasn't about needing a reward for everything you did.
"Perhaps I was too vulgar and nearly polluted my young friend's pure heart." Jiang Wang clasped his hands in return, saying softly, "Then, could you please help me go to the gate of Hanging Temple and find a monk named Jingli Just tell him that I am waiting for him here."
"If he asks me, who are you What should I say" the little boy asked.
"Just say it's the person I made a dinner appointment with on August 9th,"
The little boy nodded, then turned and ran off.
As a Buddhist holy land in the East, the territory of Xuankong Temple is no less than that of countries like Xiang and Xu.
However, the place where Jiang Wang sought help was not far from the outer mountain gate of Xuankong Temple.
About an hour later—most of it spent with the monk’s inquiries—the gleaming, shaved head of the Jingli came hurrying over, carrying a boy who brought news.
"Little junior brother!" He exclaimed with surprise from afar, "You're here to see me"
Jiang Wang immediately made a shushing gesture.
Having flown up close, the young boy in Jing Li's arms was a little surprised: "Big brother, have you been waiting here all this time Why don't you find a place to sit"
“We said we’d meet here, didn't we” Jiang Wang smiled as she handed over a paper bag. “You ran errands for me, I bought some pastries and fruit, please have some.”
The little boy waved his hand to refuse.
Jiang Wang has added: "It's not about payment, it's about treating a friend to some snacks. You run errands for me, I treat you to a meal, that's called reciprocity."
The little boy looked back at Jingli. After all, he was the holy monk of Xuankong Temple, which made him more trustworthy.
Jingli wore a solemn expression and smiled faintly: "This is also due to fate, no need to push it away."
The little boy then took the paper bag and said to Jiang Wang, "Thank you, big brother."
Jiang Wang returned a courtesy, watching this young boy leave with his paper bag and light steps. His heart also felt at ease.
Children are sometimes like a mirror. Looking into this mirror, it is easy to see your own changes.
"Woooooo." Suddenly, a sob came from beside him.
Jiang Wang turned his head. Just moments ago, he had been a serene and enlightened monk, bowing respectfully. Now, he was sobbing uncontrollably: "Little...Junior brother, we...we have no master now!"
Jiang Wang was astonished and her heart ached. She felt a sourness in her nose as well: "What's wrong with Ku Jue"
Jing Li's tears streamed down her face: "Master... Master he... is gone!"
“How did this happen” Jiang Wang was shocked, angry, saddened, and guilty all at once. “Were those thieves from Jing Guo!”
“Out… out of the mountain gate!” Jingli choked back sobs.g!Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!At this moment, Jiang Wang realized he might have made a mistake. He immediately dissipated his soul and hid like a snake. While thi...
