Chapter 336: 'Mourning'
work". He looked Jiang Wang up and down, over and over again."Hurry up, I really have something to do." Jiang Wang reminded.The old man didn't take offense, but sighed with emotion, "Looking at your f...The matter of Duan Li's treason did not cause much of a stir within the walls of Zhuang Guo, let alone any impact abroad.
The once-feared commander of the Xuanjia Army from Jiujiang, later became nothing more than a廢人 with lost cultivation.
He still has honor and position, but in the extraordinary world, he no longer holds any status.
In public statements, he was said to have died from a recurrence of an old injury.
Except for the soldiers of Jiujang Xuanjia, few others would bother to investigate the reasons behind it.

In essence, the imperial court has spoken, and that settles it.
The court... surely wouldn't lie, would they
General Duàn lived a life dedicated to the country, his achievements and honors overflowing. Even in death, he should have no regrets.

He had no wife or children, and made his home in the barracks.
It was the funeral arranged by Du Yethu for him.
The funeral was somewhat hurried. After passing away the day before, he was laid in state for a day of mourning, and then buried the next day.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The funeral was simple, held right at the camp.
But also solemnly.
On the day of his funeral, the entire army of Xuanjia in Jiujing formed a procession to pay their respects. Even the State Minister himself was present to offer condolences, and the Sovereign also bestowed a token of sympathy. Needless to say, the County Magistrate, heads of the county government and criminal investigation divisions…
There should be no regrets now.
Many people sigh with relief, saying General Duan has nothing left to regret.
Recurring old injuries is a respectable way to die. Among generals who fight on the battlefield, this kind of death is very common.

It's okay to want a break from yourself.

After all, what he originally wanted was a gruesome dismemberment.
In comparison, an old injury recurring is much more dignified.

Du Yehu didn't know that this was originally Zhuang Gaoxian's planned method of death for him. Of course, there was nothing to be happy about in this coincidence.
However, whether we know or not, things have come to this point.
When a person dies, they cannot be revived, nor can they turn back.
After the end of a relationship, people discovered that General Du Yexi seemed to have changed into a different person.
He no longer drank day and night, nor did he constantly think about going to the battlefield.
He began to straighten out military affairs, and under the help of his deputy Yang Yin, he started to consolidate power and actively competed for the future of Jiujiang Xuanjia...
In terms of merit, during the Battle of Zhuang Yongguo, it was he who first scaled Longlong Pass and planted the banner of the State of Zhuang on the city wall. The shout "A century of humiliation, returned today!" is still widely remembered to this day.
In terms of military prowess, he followed the path of ancient warriors, always charging ahead in every battle and fearlessly facing death. He had already made a name for himself in the army.
Even when he was still at the Tenglong Realm cultivation level, many people resented him for becoming the fifth deputy general of Jiujiang Xuanjia. After participating in several battles with him, those who were unconvinced were all convinced. No one fought as hard as him. Others fought desperately to earn fame and glory, but there was always a limit. He fought recklessly, as if he was trying to expend his life force.
As for now, with his power surging into the inner palace, no one in the Nine Rivers Xuanjia dared to face him alone. The other lieutenants, while possessing deeper cultivation, indeed felt a slight hesitation when it came to life-or-death combat.
Du Yexiao's only shortcoming was his lack of experience, but Jiuyang Xuanjia's commander Duan Li's recognition of him had long made up for it.
After Duàn Lí's death from a relapse of an old injury, the position of chief commander of the Xuanjia Army in Jiānguí remained vacant. No one had been sent down from the capital to take over. Many people speculated that this was intentional on the part of the court, waiting for Dù Yěhǔ.
Wait until he is more capable and gains more recognition.
At the funeral of Duan Li, the State Minister spoke privately with Du Yexi many times, which was also seen as a sign of the trend.
>
Of course, some people believe it, while others don't.
At this moment, Du Yexi sat alone in the military tent.
After a day of military exercises, the person who least wanted to think, was now silently contemplating.
After that... no one will help him think of a way out anymore.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Deputy general Yang Yin is very good, he's intelligent, but there are some things that cannot be asked of him. At least not now.
He wasn't very smart, and even back in Fenglin City, Xiao Wu would tease him all day long. He could only retort with a clumsy fist out of humiliation.
But come to think of it, if I follow Duan Li's instructions, there shouldn't be any problems...
There was a jar of wine beside him, and he hadn't taken a sip today. He occasionally glanced at it, just to quell his thirst.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The feeling of a hangover is awful, but he never drank too much again.
He promised, he promised Duan Li...
"General!"
The curtains parted, and a sturdy figure squeezed in.
Zhao Er, hearing this fool, didn't even report before he blundered in.
Du Yexi used to not care about these things, and only Yang Yin would take care of them, but now he feels that it might be time to set some rules.
Duan Li once said, the most important thing in training soldiers is discipline.
This is a tricky one! You're asking me to translate the content within " > " but there's no actual content between those tags. Let me know if you have some text you'd like me to translate, and I'll be happy to help!
I don't know why, but the things I couldn't hear before, after Duan Li died, kept appearing again and again, becoming clearer and clearer.
Should it be a parting
I'm alive... I should be useful, right
Zhao Er, after being knocked in, only stared blankly at Du Yexi, but didn't speak for a while.
Rules...Du Yexi thought again.
Therefore, I got a headache.
“What’s wrong” he asked the simpleton.
"You shouldn't capture General Duan!" Zhao Er suddenly said.
"You fool!" Du Yecho roared. "Where are you again, listening to such nonsense"
“When Zhang Piao was drinking, he said to the men under his command.” Zhao Er retorted with a stiff neck, “They say you traded General Duan for wealth and honor! Whether raw or cooked, it’s all shameless!”
>
To Zhao Er's surprise, the hot-tempered Du Yexiao did not immediately fly into a rage.
Instead, he asked, "What else"
Zhao Er listened carefully and thought for a moment: "I also think the general did the wrong thing. Even if General Duan was guilty, you shouldn't be the one to arrest him. General Duan has been so kind to you..."
A wine bottle was smashed over.
He dodged skillfully.
The wine bottle shattered on the ground, and the aroma of wine filled the air instantly.
"What a waste! Zhao Er thought."
"Go ** yourself!"
The familiar Tiger General is back...
Du Yehu roared, "I'm asking you how you feel You illiterate fool, how do you even know what it means to feel anything!"
Zhao Er shrunk his head, feeling inexplicably much more at ease now.
"You wanted to ask, didn't you!"
Du Yexi still wanted to smash him, but looked around, there were no more wine jars at hand. He had the heart to smash the book of military strategy in front of him that he couldn't quite understand, but after thinking about it, he didn't reach out.
"I only said, 'What did that old dog surnamed Zhang say!'"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Zhao Er scratched his head: "I think that's what I said."
The Prime Minister has put a lid on things, so I doubt Mr. Zhang would dare say much…
>
Looking at Zhao Er's speechless appearance, Du Yexi felt a surge of anger. He waved his hand dismissively: "Get out!"
“Get out…”, Zhao Er seemed quite proud, and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Du Yecho called out again, his expression turning serious. "Remember this, from now on, never speak of Fenglin City to me again! Keep those words buried deep inside you forever!"
“That’s great!” Zhao Er beamed. “I’ve been saying this for ages! I was just afraid you’d hit me…”
He kept quiet.
Du Yecho scowled: "Get out!"
Zhao Er listened and, with a swift movement, lifted the curtain and left.
In the now empty tent, Du Yexi sighed once more.
If Xiao Wu were alive... he wouldn't have to think so hard.
According to Duan Li, the best way was to kill Zhao Erting. The dead keep secrets best. If Zhao Erting were dead, his relationship with Jiang Wang wouldn't be remembered by anyone... But he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Otherwise, if that jar had just been thrown, Zhao Er would have been finished.
Luckily, this simpleton actually hesitated for a moment, but he was very obedient. Once he agreed to something, he would do it. I guess there shouldn't be any problems.
Du Yexiao rubbed his temples, forcing himself to look at the military manual.
Damn it... what does this word mean
Is a horse still four Two broken characters have to be put together, making it hard to read which side!
He got annoyed again.
Yang Yin, you damn dog, don't even bother to leave a comment!
Just as he was at his wits' end, suddenly, he raised his head and grabbed the single staff.
Suddenly, qi and blood surged throughout his body, a menacing aura emanating from him.
He did indeed take a treasured sword from the Imperial Treasury, but he didn't use it. Instead, he placed it in his own home and enshrined it.
Please note that the original content within the > tags was empty. I have translated this as a space followed by a closing paragraph tag:
When Du Guo Xiang saw this, although he criticized him, saying that a knife is made to be used, it was obvious that he was also very happy.
As for this single staff, it was left behind by Duan Li.
Originally, it was a pair. One of them was broken on the battlefield at Zhuangyong, severed by Li Ying, the Marquis of Chengde of Yong Nation.
The double halberd was named "Take the Enemy", back when Duan Li first wielded it, he wasn't able to actually take an enemy with it. Now there's only one left, so perhaps a single halberd should be called "Deliver Death" instead.
Even Yang Yin has more culture, saying it would be better to call it a funeral procession.
He thought, indeed he should go to Duan Li's funeral, so he set this name.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
At this moment, Du Yehu carried the mourning staff, looking like a ferocious tiger, with an aura of a formidable evil spirit.
A menacing roar echoed, billowing steam engulfing the entire military tent.
In the suffocatingly dense murderous intent, “a white crane emerged.”
That white crane flew in mid-air, scattering into wisps of clouds. The clouds swirled and transformed, giving birth to a figure that seemed to float serenely above the world.
He faced Du Yexiao, his voice cold yet melodious: "General Du, I mean you no harm."
Du Yehu held his single-headed staff, his face grim and merciless. He showed no leniency towards the opponent's breathtakingly beautiful features, coldly stating: "You don't have much time to explain."
>
"This is Ye Qingyu, a...friend of Jiang Wang."
The woman, who appeared as a cloud, said, "I've come to help you."
Tu Yehu remained silent.
Ye Qingyu looked at this fierce man and could only continue, "Jiang Wang had written to me before, saying that he would be going to the Yellow River Assembly soon, and some things might not be kept hidden. You might be in danger in Zhuang Guo. So he asked me to come and take you."
“I appreciate your kindness, Mr. Du,” said Du Yexiao calmly. “Please go back.”
The crane from Qi comes, naturally requiring some time. Occasionally encountering unexpected disruptions and scattering, it slowly regroups again, also taking time.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ye Qingyu received the letter a bit late. She had arrived in Jiujing City yesterday, but only tonight did she find an opportunity to meet Du Yexu alone.
Jiang Wang's letter said that Du Yexi either had to obey orders or go to Xincheng with his sword without saying a word. It didn't mention, however, that Du Yexi would react like this now.
Please note that I removed the " > " as they are not part of the content you want translated. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"I am indeed Jiang Wang's friend. I have many ways to prove it." Ye Qingyu thought for a moment, then took out a piece of letter paper and gently tossed it forward: "Jiang Wang said that all this is something only you know. You'll know at a glance."
She said again, "Come with me to Yun Guo. I can protect your life. Afterward, I will find a way to arrange for you to join a merchant fleet and secretly send you to Qi Guo."
But Du Yecho didn't even glance at the letter, still saying, "This is a military camp, miss, don't mistake yourself. It's best you leave quickly."
The letter fluttered before him, then slowly descended and fell to the ground.
> Jiang Wangke never said his brother would be like this
Ye Qingyu was taken aback, but she didn't give up. She turned and said, "Is there anything else you're worried about Just say it, we can solve any problem."
“Are you leaving or not” Du Yeliang said coldly, “I see that you are doing this for someone else. I’m too lazy to argue with you. You better not push me.”
Ye Qingyu was a little annoyed.
>
To think of her status, who would dare to speak to her like this
She came to help willingly and spoke in a kind and gentle tone. It's understandable that this brute wouldn't appreciate it, but he actually wanted to hit her
Her voice also held some anger: "Jiang Wang said that if you don't want to go, he'll have to force you."
Jiang Wang's original words were that if Du Yehu couldn't control himself and insisted on going to Xincheng to fight, he would forcefully tie him up and take him away. Take him back to Yunguanguan and talk about it later.
Although Touno Tora doesn't have any intention of going all out in Shinan City, fighting me to the death... might be about the same thing
Hearing Ye Qingyu's words.
Duyu Hu unleashed his final strike, a surge of blood energy coursing through him, condensing into a menacing tiger shape behind him.
"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you." He had fully assumed a fighting stance, his eyes filled with killing intent as he looked at Ye Qingyu: "You probably can't do it."
>
This cultivation, this combat strength... it's different from what Jiang Wang said.
Isn't it said that cultivators at the Tenglong Realm could defeat anyone with just a casual move
Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang, how can I describe you You are completely different from the person I remember!
Ye Qingyu wasn't afraid of this person. Her Yunzhuan divine ability was incredibly versatile, and she wasn't afraid of anyone in a one-on-one fight. Besides, if she wasn't worried about causing too much commotion, she could just throw out hundreds of puppet soldiers with a flick of her hand!
But the problem lies in the two characters "motion" and "stillness".
This is the military camp of Jiāng Xuanjia, and also a heavily fortified place in Zhuāng Kingdom.
Things have escalated too much, it's really hard to wrap this up...
“Why won’t you listen to reason” Ye Qingyu said angrily, “Jiang Wang is carrying so much alone, living such a hard life, and as his brother, can’t you ease his burden a little!”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Cut the crap!” Du Yecho leaped to the front of the case, brandishing his funeral staff with a menacing air: “Jiang Wang is a wretch without shame, ungrateful and treacherous, lacking both father and king, he betrays his country for glory! To have sworn brotherhood with him was the greatest disgrace of my life! If you dare utter another word, I shall raise an army and encircle you here!”
>
"Good, very good!" Ye Qingyu was truly angry now, her words no longer holding back. "Without you as a burden, I feel relieved for Jiang Wang! Just be the running dog of Zhuang Ting then! When the time comes and we clash on the battlefield, don't come begging for mercy from him!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the person had vanished into thin air, disappearing within the army tent.
Du Yecho lightly flicked his finger, shattering the concealing formation Ye Qingyu had set up earlier.
The evening wind outside the military tent rustled against the curtain.
The person has left...

Du Yehu collected his blood and killing intent, bent down, and picked up the letter that had fallen to the ground.
That night, the lights in General Du's tent burned all the way until dawn.
