Chapter 350: Swords Rise in Xianyang City

    

e Veteran's Twilight!Though the veteran is old, he can still die for his country!Grant me a longbow, for my country... Allow this broken body to serve!When the nation fell, the old general single-hand...The Wei River flows around the city of Xianyang, vast and mighty, heading northwest.

It is also a rare river that is not connected to the Yangtze River.

...and the mighty Qin Empire of that day, its territory ended at the Wei River. This northwestern location allowed it to gaze upon the Western frontier and even look out over the entire world.

The strength of Qin need not be elaborated on.

Within the West, there are none fit to fight.

And in the year 3917 of the Dao Calendar, a fierce battle took place on the Hegu Plain. This directly pushed the Great Qin into its “peak” status, overshadowing Dong Qi. It seemed capable of challenging Jing Guo, who dominated the Central Plains.

Chu, renowned for its strong army, powerful weapons, and boastful claim of "national coffers overflowing for three thousand years, and martial arts surpassing the world," was forced to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat. They surrendered all control of their long-held territories in the west, retreating back south to lick their wounds.

Nearly lost its influence in the West.

The world-renowned general Xiang Longxiang died in the midst of a massive army. The once peerless Zuo Guanglie was chased for thousands of miles and perished in an unknown place in Zhuang Guo.

The former is the loss of "now". The latter is the loss of "future".

Even Zuo Guanglie wasn't merely "promising for the future". Before his death in battle, he was already a nationally renowned talent. He was a prominent general in the Chu army, the designated heir to the Left clan's prestigious position, and the next leader of the Chu army's "Chi Yan" legion—one of the six major armies of Chu.

"Chi Jian" literally means "to touch with blood" and to "dare to face its edge." Its core spirit is the unwavering determination to resist any enemy, even unto death.

At the Battle of Hegu, even a powerful army like Chi Xie suffered casualties exceeding half its ranks.

Left General Liang, alone and with great ferocity, broke through the defenses of Hangu Pass... He wasn't simply trying to replicate the brutality of his past victory leading a lone army deep into enemy territory and decisively defeating the Xia nation.

It's a pity that in the end, his efforts were in vain and the genius fell.

On the river valley plain, that battle where nearly ten thousand cultivators and hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers were deployed, seemed to have happened just yesterday.

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

Eyewitnesses are still licking their wounds and feeling the pain.

But it seemed already very far away.

Because today's Xianyang City, can no longer feel any trace of the atmosphere of war.

But behold, a pavilion of azure stands adorned with crimson hues, and fiery spirits flow high upon the tower.

The streets were thronged with pedestrians, vehicles flowed like rivers, and horses galloped like dragons.

At that time, people said: "The Qin Palace discarded grease and water, yet the Wei River was able to swell with fat."

From this we can see the grandeur of the Qin King's Palace, with beauties like clouds.

Only during times of peace and prosperity can "beauty" truly be appreciated as "beauty". Women have the time and inclination to adorn themselves, while men find the desire to pursue them.

The world is inherently not peaceful. The reason why Qin could have a peaceful landscape is naturally because it was powerful.

In a well-governed country, the common people can freely travel in the countryside. In a small country, the common people only dare to venture out when protected by monks. This is the same principle.

To the west of Xianyang City, Yi'an Marquis' Mansion.

>

On this day, a man with lifeless eyes and unkempt appearance came to the front gate. Without a word, he walked straight into the mansion.

This person was not dirty and had a strange aura about them, not quite beggar-like.

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

Especially his imposing gait, as natural as coming home, leaves one unsure of his true nature. Is he some extraordinary individual or a descendant of a noble family with an untamed spirit

Therefore, the gatekeeper did not immediately move to drive away the visitors. Instead, with great restraint, he asked, "I ask, honorable visitor, do you have a visiting card"

>

“I have no letter of introduction,” the man drawled. “I’m simply traveling west to Qin and heard that Master Wei, the son of your house, is the number one rising star in the world. So I came to see him.”

What is called the world's number one Tenglong may not be the best in the world, but it is at least undisputed as the first in Qin.

He was surnamed Wei and given name Yu. He was the son of Wei Qiu, Duke Yian of Qin.

The arrival dares to "question" Wei Yu, they must have some confidence.

This line of code is a placeholder.

Those working in Yi An Bo's mansion weren't fools. They wouldn't be stupid enough to offend someone with an unknown background.

Then he asked, "I would like to ask, who recommended you to come here"

The newcomer glared with lifeless eyes and spoke in a listless voice: "No one recommended me, I came here myself."

That's not like a master at all.

The gatekeeper didn't believe that this skinny fellow could stand a chance against his young master.

But don't shame him. Just glancing at the man, he made a difficult expression: “Master Bo has his own rules. You haven't presented a visiting card, and no one has recommended you. This humble servant is afraid I cannot let you in.”

He wasn't afraid of anyone coming to cause trouble. In this Xianyang City, no one had ever been able to escape punishment. In the early years, Prince Wuyang broke the law and was beaten a hundred times solid. He was stripped naked and beaten outside the palace gates, and many ordinary people saw the royal backside.

He wasn't afraid of going back, but as a servant of the Yi'an Mansion, he received generous monthly allowances and often received gifts. He lived a comfortable life. Unless his master ordered him to, there was no need for him to do anything that would offend people.

To constantly create unnecessary trouble for others by making empty threats and raising false alarms is short-sighted and even dangerous!

The newcomer didn't seem to want any trouble, and simply asked: "Could you please pass on a message I hear your young master is the number one "Ten Dragon" in the world, so he should not fear a challenge."

“Excuse me, sir,” Menzi said apologetically. “I’m really sorry, I’m just a small person with little influence, and I wouldn’t dare to bother you casually. Perhaps you could think of another way and find someone to recommend you”

The arrival sighed and said, "In that case...excuse me!"

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

The doorman hastily retreated and shouted, "What do you want! This is the Yi'an..."

And then, silence.

Because he had not perceived anything, the approaching person raised their right hand between two fingers, holding a dark piece of cloth.

He lowered his head to look at the hem of his clothes, and discovered that at some point, a corner had been cut off.

And that section of skin was remarkably neat, he lightly touched it with his finger and a faint sting sensation arose!

>

As a gatekeeper of the Yamen, his vision was always somewhat higher, so he knew this person was truly a master.

“ … how did you rip the corner of my clothes I didn’t do anything to you.” Menzi said.

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

If you were to switch to a more discerning approach, I'm afraid the popularity and high-quality image would be lost. Which highly respected individual would bother with something as trivial as this

>

Fortunately, this unkempt and unwelcome visitor didn't possess any airs of superiority.

Just point it forward and swing.

The piece of cloth in his hand shot forward like a離弦之箭, instantly flying to the front of the door and even creating a whistling sound as it tore through the air!

But as it neared the door, it floated down gently and landed right in his hand.

The uninvited guest then said, “Take this as my invitation. If your young master is truly what he claims to be, he will come to see me.”

This statement was originally quite powerful.

But alas, there was no spark in his eyes, and his words were languid and lacking in energy, sounding rather "airy" and making it hard to feel motivated.

But the gatekeepers of Yi'an Bo's mansion had already sensed that it was extraordinary.

Gripping the edge of his own clothes, he asked, "I shall go report this immediately...May I inquire as to your honored name"

“Forward.” The visitor said with a yawn, utterly lacking in presence.
