Chapter Forty-One: Yunwu Mountain
n could no longer feel the opinions of others. He lived only for his own emotions.He flung his arms wide open and suddenly burst into tears: "To what use is all the wealth I have amassed!"Lin Zhenglun...In Linzi City, there is a Yunwu Mountain. In terms of fame, it is not inferior to Xiashan.
At that time, Jiang Wang was lounging with Xu Xiangqian, Li Longchuan, Gao Zhe, and Yan Fu in the pavilion. Outside the window, clouds and mist swirled, changing shapes in various ways.
In the palace of King Daiqi there was an observatory, the tallest building in the city of Linzi.
While the highest mountain in Linzi City is generally considered to be Yunwu Mountain.
This is a paragraph.
Of course, the entire city of Linzi, whether it was the buildings or the mountains, could not be taller than the Guanxing Tower.
There is a scene on the mountain of clouds and mist, called "Sea of Clouds Mirage".
On the first day of every month, on Mount Yunwu, the stacked layers of clouds would transform into illusory pavilions, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
In the earliest times, some said it was a hidden secret realm, some said it was a wonder of heaven and earth, and some even said it was the reflection of a magnificent ancient fairy palace appearing in the world...
Of course, it was later proven that this so-called sea of clouds and mirages was nothing more than an evolution of the formation. The reason why the clouds on Mount Yunwu were constantly churning, besides the mountain's terrain, was mostly due to the gathering of the magical formations.
This view is not natural, but man-made.
Therefore, in the Seven Scenery of Linzi, this name has never existed.
The reason why Yungwu Mountain's fame can rival that of Xiashan is not due to the deeply carved cloud sea mirage, but rather the place where they are currently seated.
This attic belongs to Tianxiangyunge, one of the four famous mansions in Linzi.
Among the eight musical instruments used in tea ceremonies, the red sleeve fan occupies three stands alone. Although Heaven Fragrant Cloud Pavilion only has one instrument, its reputation is no less than that of other shops because of the two characters "Heaven Fragrant."
When a person sits leisurely in the pavilion, there is a faint fragrance wafting around. This scent is not from incense or perfume, but rather the fragrance of the cloud mist flower growing on the peak of the cloud-shrouded mountain. The fragrance is ethereal and subtle, yet it lingers tantalizingly in the air.
The anecdotes in between needn't be elaborated upon, suffice it to say that this entire Yunwu Mountain belongs to the Tiangxiang Yunge.
Among the Four Great Pavilions, Hongxiu Zhao and Haitang Chun are located in bustling areas. However, Tianxiang Yunge is different. Although it's situated in a secluded location, it's still renowned in Linzi. Many wealthy guests often stay there for several months, simply seeking tranquility.
In the midst of worldly affairs, you seek tranquility. Tell me about it.

Jiang Wang has been very active visiting the Four Great Museums lately and has gained some fame among the younger generation in Linzi. Yan Fu treats money like water, inviting guests to every banquet. Xu Xiangqian would always come whenever he heard Yan Fu was there, and he even dragged Li Longchuan along. Of course, the word "drag" is debatable; Li Longchuan has never seemed unwilling.

But unlike others, Jiang Wang wasn't for the girls in the Four Great Houses, but for the Eight Sounds Tea.
These eight musical instruments of the "Eight Sounds Tea" are:*
The Paizhong (Chinese chiming bells)
*
The Changdi (Chinese flute)
*
The Dagǔ (large drum)
*
The Pipa (Chinese lute)
*
The Qín (zither)
*
The Zé (stringed zither with movable bridges)
*
The Yú (a bamboo instrument played by blowing into it)
*
The Shēng (a reed pipe instrument)
Among them, the sound of the bell chimes is like a drunkard's revelry, the sound of the pipa is like the Mist Maiden playing. The sound of the qin and tea can be found in this Yunwu Mountain's Tiangxiang Yunge, named "Yunzhongyin".
A cup of flower tea, with the sound of the qin weaving through the air, makes one feel intoxicated, as if hidden in the clouds.
Since sparring with Li Longchuan, Jiang Wang has also made breakthroughs in his attempts to use sound-based techniques.
During this period, Chongxuan was very busy, so he often asked Jiang Wang to socialize on his behalf. Socializing was not Jiang Wang's forte; he wasn't a smooth talker. He just wanted to experience all sorts of music, both for personal enjoyment and duty, so he would make do.
Yan Fu is someone it's hard not to like. He is gentle and courteous, and also very generous.
While Gao Zhe was a different kind of person, rugged in appearance but with an extremely deep mind.
When he was with Jiang Wang and the others, he never mentioned his cousin who had fallen into the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm. Perhaps it was because their relationship wasn't good, or maybe because Xu Xiangqian had a falling out with Gao Jing outside the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm.
After drinking in the cloud-hidden pavilion, a group of people discussed going to the top of the mountain to admire the flowers.
When I came to Yunwu Mountain, of course I had to see the Yunwu flower.
Tianxiangyunge has a path that goes straight to the top of the mountain.

The wooden pavilion stood on one side against the mountain, and on the other it seemed to float amidst a sea of clouds.

Although everyone present possessed extraordinary cultivation, none of them embarrassed themselves by making a scene. They all directly flew up the mountain.

Halfway through the path, a group of people just ahead were gathered around a young boy as he walked towards us.
This tag is used to indicate the end of a paragraph.
It is an autumn day, and Yunwu Mountain is somewhat cold. But those who come here to enjoy the scenery probably have some cultivation, so they mainly wear light clothes.
Only this young man was wrapped in a thick mink coat, his face pale, looking rather frail and delicate.
However, among the group of people behind him, Jiang Wang saw a familiar face—Zhang Yong.
He was no longer the immature and inexperienced boy from outside the Tianfu Secret Realm. He was dressed properly and carried himself with authority. His eyes no longer darted around nervously but held a contemplative gaze, mixed with a hint of gloom. When he looked at Jiang Wang, he merely nodded slightly as a greeting.
Then the identity of this fur-clad youth became clear—Prince Jiang Wuqí, the eleventh son of Emperor Qi, and one of the most powerful contenders for the throne.
"Your Highness."
Around him, Li Longchuan and Yan Fu and others all spoke out to greet him. These people were either rich or noble; they didn't need to pay grand respects when they saw the prince.
He only pulled Jiang Wang aside to make way, showing respect.
>
Even this level of respect is not something that all princes and princesses are entitled to.
Instead, it's Chong Xuan Sheng facing off against the Fourteenth Prince, Jiang Wuyang.
Only Jiang Wuqi's future is bright, with the possibility of ascending to the throne, would these accomplished young masters from prominent families deserve respect.
Daqi's atmosphere is quite tolerant. Even princes coming to a place like Tianxiang Yun Pavilion, a brothel, wouldn't be considered out of line.

Especially those like Li Longchuan, Yan Fu, and Gao Zhe, as princes and princesses were commonplace sights in their daily lives, so they weren't particularly unusual. Upon encountering each other, a simple greeting would suffice, and they would then go about their own affairs.
True top-tier aristocratic families wouldn't get involved in the struggle for the throne. Regardless of who ascended to the imperial position in Qi, their families would remain indispensable. Only someone like Zhang Yong, with a fallen family, would need to seize an opportunity to rise through the ranks and regain their status.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Wuqidi didn't leave. Instead, he stopped in his tracks.
After greeting several young masters one by one, he looked at Jiang Wang and said: "Your bearing is extraordinary. The sword at your waist is a sign of a famous weapon. I presume you are the left and right arm of Chongxuan Sheng, the young man from Qingyang Town in our great Qi state"
Ginger looked down slightly and bowed in greeting: "Ginger has met your Highness."

Jiang Wuqi coughed twice before saying, "You have made great achievements for the Great Qi in Yangdi. I respect that. However, in Chiyang Nanyuan, you openly humiliated my fourteenth brother. As his elder brother, I could have ignored it, but since I encountered this, I had to make a statement."
“I shall raise my banner and demonstrate my authority, for I deserve reward. However, the imperial court’s prestige must be upheld, and I cannot fail to do so.” He looked at Jiang Wang and said, “What do you think”

This is clearly stated, and making trouble is also fair and square, so it's hard to feel resentment.
“Since I've taken to the battlefield, there's no question of right or wrong, only life and death. I've killed some men and shed some blood on sunny ground, so I have some merit. Your Majesty has already bestowed rewards; Your Highness need not offer any more.”
Jiang Wang gazed straight into Jiang Wuqi's eyes, without any evasion: "As for the matter of Nanyang, right and wrong will be judged by public opinion. Your Highness should also know this. I have never intended to humiliate anyone, but those who humiliate others will inevitably be humiliated in return."
These words were spoken with neither arrogance nor humility. Li Longchuan and Yan Fu, who were standing nearby, secretly nodded in approval.
Jiang Wuqidi directly told him — I am a person who rewards and punishes clearly, I want to reward you, and I also want to punish you. Can you accept it
And Jiang Wang replied to Jiang Wuqi — "Reward I don't need your reward, that is what the Emperor should do; punishment I haven't done anything wrong anyway, do as you please!"
