l hold you accountable for deceiving the emperor."Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!The emperor said this with a smile, very approachable.Jiang Wang felt deeply the emperor...“Lord of the Huai Nation!” Wen Jing stood under the night sky, the humble expression on her face slowly fading away: "I respect you as an elder. I respect your status and your contributions to guarding the Heavenly Gate for humankind. But everything should have a reason. Everyone knows what kind of person Jiang Ge is. He wanders through countless worlds, traversing the ends of the earth, appearing and disappearing like a dragon. In recent years, he has been particularly active in the demon realm, the barren lands, and the Yu Yuan abyss, leaving no trace of his whereabouts. You come to Yue Guo demanding someone, where do you expect Yue Guo to find him for you!"

Facing the cold gaze of Grand Prince Huai of Chu, the emperor of Yue stood straight, not retreating an inch.

This leaves one wondering about his confidence.

Left Xiao raised his hand and slapped directly—

The flat, heavenly crown soared high into the sky. Wen Jingxiu didn't even have time to put up a fight before he was spinning helplessly in mid-air. The mighty emperor of a nation, reduced to a spinning top by a single slap!

“I've really been putting up with you for too long!”

Zuo Xiao shook his hand, seeming to find the face too stiff: "Think about how to answer me."

Wen Jingxiu's rapidly moving figure finally came to a halt. She covered her face, which was flushed red with indignation, her eyes filled with anger and shock. She hadn't expected that someone as respected as the Duke of Huai would behave so rudely!

He walked straight out of the national defense formation, facing the Duke of Huai. Wasn't he sure that the Grand Marshal of Chu would be proud and aloof because of his noble status After all, they were supposed to be sitting down on a platform and chatting amiably.

Is the strife between nations really like that of street toughs, who fling insults and start brawls at the drop of a hat

Where is the ritual propriety in the grand state of Chu

Whether it's feigned cordiality or artful maneuvering, for so many years, Chu Yue has been considered friendly in the Southern Region, even sharing the responsibility of the Immortal Cemetery. During festivals, they exchange official letters and celebrate each other's national fortunes.

What does this slap from Zuo Xiao do to the diplomatic relations between the two countries

This slap insults the monarch, disrespects the state, and to put it bluntly, is a fundamental lack of respect for the country's prestige!

"Old fox!"

In the midst of the court, a heart-wrenching roar of anger erupted.

>

Gong Zhiliang, with disheveled hair, rushed out of the palace, sword in hand. He charged blindly at Zuo Xiao, shouting, "You insult my king! Today, I swear to kill you!"

Left Xia just glanced at him.

He was struck dumb, plummeting straight down from the sky and crashing through the palace roof, shattering the glazed tiles.

But Gong Zhiliang quickly got up again.

"…Old fox!"

He glared with bloodshot eyes, staggering towards Zuo Xiaoyao again before falling flat on his face.

He got up again, and fell down again.

Throughout this process, Zuo Xiao remained impassive. He was simply swatting away flies with indifference, rather than confronting anyone.

But even a wisp of disdain was unbearable for Gong Zhiliang.

Thus, this repeated seven times, Gong Zhiliang's breath grew weaker and weaker.

Wen Jingxiu finally cried out in a mournful voice: “Prime Minister! Don’t come any closer!”

Gong Zhiliang once again swayed into the air, his seven orifices bleeding. The aura of a divine being had dwindled, becoming no better than that of an ordinary inner disciple, but he still clutched his sword, his hand veins throbbing visibly.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

> “Yuè guó or in some people’s eyes may not be worth mentioning, but it is the home country where I grew up. A nation cannot be trampled upon, and its national character cannot be lightly insulted!”

He let out a mournful cry: “Today, the king has been humiliated. Gong Zhiliang is incapable of defending against the enemy; there is only death left for me!”

With a single stroke of his sword, he took his own life.

The golden body has been shattered, the decrepit form takes its final plunge into the abyss.

Left Xiaoyou remained unmoved and turned to Wen Jingxiu: "The slap just now wasn't seen by many people, I spared you some face. It's still before noon, and lunch is far away, you have time."

“Old geezer!” Wen Jingxiu pointed at Zuo Xiaoyou, her finger trembling constantly: “You are too much…”

Zuo Xiao merely raised an eyebrow.

Clack!

This finger bent backwards and broke instantly!

"Ah!!!" Wen Jingxiu was nearly insane, roaring: "Come on! Kill me! You can kill the Emperor of Yue!"

Here's the translation:

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

He brandished the bloody severed finger and strode toward Zou Xiao, declaring: "Let history record this: the Marquis of Huai in the State of Chu, Da Chú, violently killed Emperor Wenjing of Yue, disregarding the rites of state, corrupting the norms between sovereign and minister, trampling on the national system — how!"

Zuo Xiao looked at him deeply: “… Good! This official will do as you wish. I’ll take your head, break this worthless national defense array, and search every inch of Yuecountry's land to find the missing Taixu Pavilion members. Let's see if this Taixu Alliance pact, which everyone in the world has endorsed and even Tianjing City has obeyed, holds any weight here in your Huiji City!”

"The Taixu Alliance's covenant with the Yue Kingdom is, of course, respected! The members of the Taixu Pavilion are honored guests of mine!" Wen Jingxiu gritted her teeth: "If you find Elder Jiang in the Yue Kingdom and confirm that I harmed him, I will die without regret. But what if you kill me afterwards and still can't find Elder Jiang"

Zuo Xiao grinned and said, "I'll pour a cup of wine before your grave to apologize."

Yes!

If you're going to kill, then just kill.

If you made a mistake, just apologize - who else can make Zuo Xiao atone for his crime

Huang Wei is indeed someone to be wary of, and the relationship between Huang Wei and Chu State is also quite delicate.

Zuo Xia also highly admired Huang Wei's truthfulness.

But this time it's not about revolution.

Excluding the mythical creatures from the story and putting aside the matter of Huang Wei's true identity, what grounds does Yue Guo have for its actions

Of course, the national system needs to be maintained, and there must be order in the current world trend. But who maintains this order It is precisely the six major hegemonic countries!

In most cases, hegemons are quite willing to maintain the existing world order because they are the biggest beneficiaries of it. But this is not an absolute rule, because with power in their hands, the only ones who can supervise them are each other.

The Covenant of the Void could shine in Tianjing City because all parties were watching with swords drawn.

Wen Jingxiu's biggest mistake tonight might have been leaving the Imperial Protective Array and standing before Zuo Xiao – last time facing Zhuge Yi's Star God, he remained seated in the core palace throughout, motionless.

Maybe he had other plans, or maybe his courage grew, but at this moment Zuo Xiao didn't play coy with him. A slap, a broken finger, and the phrase "Apologize," stripped away the pretense of this world's cruel reality bare.

If Wenjing Xiusuo were alive, he would be part of the order. Yue Guo hadn't laid out any obvious charges, perhaps there are many supporters in the world.

Wen Jingxiu died just like that. Let's see which of the other five great kingdoms will attack Chu for Yue!

“Come!” Faced with Zuoxiao’s such blatant threat, Wen Jingxiu did not retreat but advanced, did not flee but met it head-on. This truly demonstrated the bearing of a nation's emperor: "Using my own head, to lose Chu's justice, what is there that cannot be done! Wen Jingxiu loses at this moment, Chu loses for all ages!"

Zuo Xiao no longer spoke, he directly raised his right hand, fingers outstretched, and pointed at Wen Jingxiu.

As soon as their five fingers met, Wen Jingxiu's true form swelled rapidly, threatening to burst!

“Lord Zuo, please show mercy!”

A gentle voice arrived at this very moment.

As if a gentle spring breeze caressing the moon, a warm and comforting feeling melts away some of the chill.

The Dean of Mu Gu Academy, dressed in a plain scholar's robe, appeared before Wen Jingxiu and bowed to Zuo Xiao: "Chen Mou is here uninvited, hoping that Master Zuo will not find it rude."

When the king and ministers of Yue were privately discussing matters, Wen Jingxiu asked: "In order for the states of Jing and Qin to publicly declare their stance, what else can our state of Yue do What else are we willing to give"

The answer is in the question.

This is a placeholder.

Only after the death of Yin Xiang Gaozheng did Chen Pu inquire, and Yan Sheng descended the mountain.

Today, the Yue state's prime minister Gong Zhiliang was forced to death by the Chu state's Huai nobleman!

Chen Pu of the Mu Gu Book Academy had to step forward. And indeed, there were reasons to do so.

>

Shushan has always been the supporter behind Yue Guo, doing more than Nandou Hall. Many Confucian disciples served in Yue Guo. For many years, Shushan and Chu Guo were separated, with Yue Guo serving as a buffer and a barrier, an important reason why Shushan could remain aloof.

If Chu swallowed Yue and met at the boundary of Shushan, perhaps both sides would have to explore new ways of coexisting. That would certainly not be what Shushan desires.

Zuo Xia retracted his outstretched fingers, his face still devoid of any expression. Gong Zhliang was begging for death, he naturally knew why Gong Zhliang was begging for death, and he understood it himself. At this moment, he simply asked: "Dr. Chen, are you going to wade into this murky water"

Chen Pu gently smoothed Wen Jingxiu's body, restoring him to his normal state and away from danger. He said in a soft voice, "The emperor of Yue State is after all the legitimate emperor, appointed by Heaven. I don't know what crime your lord has committed that warrants punishment"

"Innocent." Zuo Xiao said very casually, "He asked for death, I granted it, that's all there is to it."

"I think he was just acting impulsively. With the responsibility of the world on his shoulders, how could he possibly commit suicide" Chen Pu said, "Please forgive me, Left Minister."

Left Xiao looked at Chen Pu's back and asked, "What did he say"

Wen Jingxiu walked out from behind Chen Pu, her face no longer contorted in malice, devoid of the frenzied, desperate posture. She had even redone her hair, appearing incredibly calm and peaceful. She bowed to Zuo Xiao and said, "I was momentarily impulsive and spoke words fueled by resentment. Lord Marquis of Huai, please don't take them to heart."

Zuo Xiao remained impassive: "I have always known only that 'the sovereign never speaks idly'! Why is the emperor of Yue an exception among kings"

Chen Pu spoke, “Although the Emperor of Yue is the ruler of a country, he is also a junior to Lord Zuo. It’s natural for him to be somewhat unrestrained in front of his elders. This Gong Zhiliang was diligent in his duties and loyal by nature. For many years, he worked hard for the state, repairing bridges and roads… it’s a pity that he died.”

Gong Zhiliang was a bloody pawn, offered as the last bet to Wen Jingxiu.

Left Xiao remained unmoved, only looking at Wen Jingxiu: "Does the Emperor of Yue recognize this official as your elder"

"Of course!" Wen Jingxiu said: "Although I am not filial, I also know to respect the elders and the virtuous. From the beginning, I said that I respect Duke Huai very much, so I came out to greet him - I never thought that a respected elder like Duke Huai would treat me this way."

Zuo Xiao's eyelid twitched slightly: "Then Emperor Yue, as a senior, I'll ask you one more time - can Jiang Wang catch up to my family's lunch"

Chen Pu remained silent.

"Grand Tutor!" Wen Jingxiu called out to Qu, "I truly don't understand why you insist on linking Jiang Ge's whereabouts with Yue Country. Yue Country has been weak for years! Does it have the capability to silently harm Jiang Ge That would be extraordinary heroism! He managed to return safely from the heart of the demon tribe; wouldn't he be able to weather a small storm on the Qian Tang River Perhaps he has gone to the borderlands, and will be back in a few days. You are worrying needlessly, Your Majesty, I am suffering an undeserved calamity!"

Left Xiao looked at him steadily for a while, then said: "Good, with your patience over the past few decades and your bravery today, you are indeed worthy of being a king. You truly embody the bloodline of Wen Zhong!"

“Duke Huai of the State of Huai has misunderstood me, and I can only bear it.” Wen Jingxiu met eyes with Zuo Xiao: “I have no great aspirations. I have worked hard for my country all my life, striving to keep my heart pure, just seeking not to shame my ancestors.”

Left Xia looked at Chen Pu: "Chen Dean, are you protecting him today"

Chen Pu smiled wryly and said, "Master Zu, killing the Son of Heaven without a crime is indeed something that can't be justified. Song Tianshi was also originally going to come, but to avoid discord between Jing Chu, he chose not to appear—I know you are concerned, but is Jiang Wang really in Yue"

Jiang Wang stayed in Yue to protect Bai Yu Xia, which was already a low profile. With his current abilities, there weren't many people in the world who could find him.

At the end of the day, his appearance that night was simply intelligence gleaned by Chu from their harvest in Fuji City. After that, no one knew where he went, except Wen Jingxiu.

Zuo Xiao is unprovable.

"Song Huai can come, all four Heavenly Masters can come. If you don't come today, there will always be another day. Old and new accounts must be settled." Zuo Xiao looked at Chen Pu: "Dean Chen, you should know my character. There's no need to say pointless words. I can also give you this face today—"

Chen Pu sighed: “Thank you, sir, for your understanding.”

“Wen Jingxiu, remember this.” Zuo Xiao looked at the Emperor of Yue: “I don’t care how you explain it, Jiang Wang disappeared in your country of Yue. I will definitely hold you responsible for this. If anything happens to Jiang Wang—you will die.”

He said slowly, "Even if Huang Wei truly returns, even if Huang Wei truly acknowledges you and chooses you, considers you his own son. You will still die. This is what I, Zuo Xiao, say. It can be recorded in your Yue Kingdom history books!"

>

Chen Pu wanted to speak but hesitated.

"Life has a natural end, and I am not immortal." Wen Jingxiu remained calm, as if he had known all along what he was facing. He only said to Zuo Xiao: "Lord Zuo, no matter your decision, I must reiterate—we in Yue have no knowledge of Jiang Ge's whereabouts. I also wish to find him and clear my name! Of course, perhaps you do not need this."

Zuo Xiao smiled, a hint of mockery in his eyes. He said with a sneer, "Wen Jingxiu, Wen Jingxiu, the reason I came here while Duke An remained silent for so long is not because Duke An could bear it while I couldn't. It's because Duke An dislikes slapping people; when he makes a move, he aims to kill and eliminate them completely."

He pointed at Wen Jingxiu: “You’ve gotten on my nerves today. I came here intending to just slap you, but now I hope to dig up your ancestral grave—don’t make me do that.”

"Without waiting for Wen Jingxiu to speak, he turned his head to look at Chen Pu and said in a very serious tone: "Director Chen, the mountain of books is your responsibility. This time you stopped me, I am willing to understand. Next time you stop me again, you will be my enemy."

With a flick of his sleeve, he crushed the moon, scattering frost light across the sky, and then his form vanished.

Not until Zuo Xiao's figure had completely vanished did Wen Jingxiu suppress her anger and say to Chen Pu, “I don’t know how I offended him Just because Yue Guo is weaker than Chu Guo, can he be so unreasonable, constantly threatening and coercing me He asked for Jiang Wang, as if I were his wet nurse! Why doesn't he ask for Zuo Hong or Zuo Guanglie”

Chen Pu gave him a nonchalant glance.

Wen Jingxiu pursed her lips: "I have spoken out of turn, sir."

The world-renowned gentle scholar, the headmaster of Mùgǔ Academy, spoke softly: “I also have a question I want to ask Your Majesty. Please consider it carefully before answering me.”

"Sir, please ask!" Wen Jingxiu immediately said: "I will certainly tell you everything I know!"

Chen Pu looked at him: "Where did Jiang Wang go"

“I truly don’t know!” Wen Jingxiu looked wronged: “Back when I was a prince, I also studied at the Dusk Drum Academy and always considered you my teacher—could it be that you don’t even believe me”

Chen Pu shifted his gaze, stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the sky, sighing: "Gong Zhiliang wasn't a top talent, and his fortune wasn't good either. His accomplishments in life were limited, but he was truly a man of loyalty and diligence. The emperor should not neglect his funeral."

Wen Jingxiu solemnly said: "My loss of Gongxiang is like losing a close relative. It must be treated with the national funeral rites!"

Chen Pu thought for a moment, then still said: "For the sake of Gao Zheng and Gong Zhiliang, this old man will advise you one last time - this exam you are destined not to get full marks, and you shouldn't waste your energy and delusion about getting full marks. In this situation, being able to pass is already enough. Some multiple choice questions, are not necessary to do."

Wen Jingxiu, the student, respectfully bowed and said, "I have understood, Master."

Chen Pu knew he hadn't listened: "The Duke of Huai said he would kill you, so he will definitely kill you. If Jiang Wang really gets into trouble in Yue Guo, make preparations in advance... and also take care of your ancestral tomb. Old people talk a lot and are annoying, so this is goodbye, no need to see me off."

He turned, and in an instant, he was far away. The vast night sky, the moon shone lonely.

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

“Sir!” At this moment, Wen Jingxiu suddenly shouted, chasing after his back: “In a game of chess across the world, the weak who fight for survival are considered to seek death, and fools fall into death without realizing it. The student strives to play chess, doing the impossible, he has never thought about a good ending!”

"I am not your husband. Your Majesty, take care of yourself." Chen Pu did not turn back, taking a step into the night.

Thanks to book friend "Bai Shijie" for becoming the chief supporter of this book, making it the 748th chief supporter of Chixin Xuntian! He raised his eyebrows and said:That day, Lin Youxie also mentioned Lei Zhangan to me, which coincided with what Fourteenth Empress said about encountering him. So when I was at the Lei family, I obs...
