Chapter 4: Deeper Leak Detection
had now driven out of Nan Yao City.Zhong Xuan Sheng dropped the curtain and looked at the old man across from him, with a sly smile: "It goes without saying that Zhong Xuan Sheng is more handsome than...On the way back to Qi, with Chong Xuan accompanying him, there was no more possibility of being low-key.
>
He can rough it, sleeping under the stars and eating whatever is available. However, despite this, Chong Xuan refuses to stay anywhere that isn't of a certain standard.
He swaggered all the way and, upon reaching the Eastern Region, he was unrestrained and flew freely.
The two youngest peerless generals of the realm marched together, even without Zhu He's alliance or a pact under the moonlit sky, few dared to block their path.
>Besides Wang Yiwu in front of the city of Linzi.
>
He stood coldly at the city gate, his tall figure like a flagpole, his military uniform billowing in the wind.

Chong Xuan Zun saw him and immediately laughed: "General Wang, for whom do you stand guard" As someone who had risen from the ranks of common soldiers, once invincible among his peers and the first in ancient and modern times to reach the Tongtian realm, Wang Yiwu's current cultivation level at the Wai Lou Realm was indeed outmatched compared to extraordinary talents like Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Zun.
But this did not damage his pride.
Standing before Mingyu, I also know that I am not a stubborn stone, with hidden beauty.
When faced with magnificent mountain scenery, I remain calm and composed, understanding that my own beauty will reveal itself in due time.
His life, like his steps, was measured with every stride, precise and deliberate.
"As the emperor's representative, I guard the capital city!" Wang Yiwu said proudly, slightly tilting his body to ease some of the seriousness. He gestured with his hand, "I also occasionally take a look at the flags for the champion marquis."
Chong Xuan strode toward the city gate with a carefree air. "What wine shall we drink today" he asked.
Wang Yiwu nodded at Jiang Wang as a greeting, and replied, "Your favorite."
The most famous and expensive wine in Qi was naturally the "Lu Ming" from the Xunlin series produced by Lushuang County. It was highly sought after in Linzi. People at the time said: "Those who appreciate good wine in the capital all use aged Lu Ming as their main display."

But Chongxuan insisted on loving "A Thousand Autumns." This wine is the famous wine of Changguo. It is said that its brewing method was inherited from Old Yang, and its aroma is the strongest, known as "One Drunk for a Thousand Autumns Gone."
Besides being consumed by the royal family of Chang and presented as tribute to the Son of Heaven in Qi, this wine was virtually unavailable on the open market. It was a prized vintage so rare that not even Dao Yuan stone could buy it. Wang Yiwu's ability to procure such a drink speaks volumes about his effort and resourcefulness.
As for Wang Yi's greeting, Jiang Wang merely nodded slightly.
Zhongxuan bowed his hand and smiled, "Wu'an Hou, you have come. Let us drink together!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Before Jiang Wang could refuse, a voice rang out: "I shall take this opportunity to welcome the Marquis of Wuan." A luxurious carriage stopped by the roadside. As the curtains opened, Yin Youjun, the handsome master of Yuxin Palace, emerged from within and smiled: "Marquis Champion and General Wang, please go ahead and gather. This palace has been preparing a banquet for a long time and it would be a waste to have it empty!"
Zhong Xuan glanced at Jiang Wang, seeing his hesitation. He smiled and waved, then walked side by side with Wang Yiwu, leaving with a carefree air.
>>>The journey through the demonic realm was a success. Bright as nine blades of light, he had accomplished his extra mission by bringing Jiang Wang back to Lin Zi. Now it was time to rest, perhaps read some idle books. He lived a straightforward life, unburdened and clear-minded, unlike Jiang Wang who carried so much resentment and bitterness.
The carefree prodigal son of a noble family, and the proud, cold general with a military background, their personalities were worlds apart. Yet, when they walked together, it was surprisingly harmonious.
Jiang Wuxie smiled and looked at Jiang Wang: "I've used beautiful women as pillows and jade stones to pave the way, but I still couldn't invite Marquis Wuan. I had no choice but to come here myself and stop him halfway!"
Jiang Wang bowed slightly and said with a polite smile, "It's not that I can't drink your wine. It's just that Jiang doesn't enjoy the pleasures of the world and wouldn't dare to accept such generous hospitality."

“Not so! Girls admire heroes, and heroes love beauties—it’s human nature. What matters in this world if it isn’t about romance” Jiang Wu Xie did indeed have a pair of soulful eyes. When he looked at you earnestly, you could almost feel the stories within them, easily being swept up in his emotions. That's why so many outstanding women were infatuated with him. Besides his status as the Crown Prince of Daqi and his peerless beauty, these eyes bore much of the responsibility.
His voice was also extremely charming, gentle yet noble, with a profound meaning as he said: "Either Marquis Wu'an has not seen true romance, or the romance of Marquis Wu'an is already in his heart."
"I wouldn't dare to discuss worldly affairs in front of Your Highness," Jiang Wang said with a smile, waving his hand. "My kind are devoted to cultivating virtues. Though I haven't seen much, I don't wish to."
"It's fine," Jiang Wu Xie smiled. "Let's just drink and chat, talk about life!"
"I'm truly in a bind today." Jiang Wang still refused. "I am about to enter the palace to meet the emperor, I dare not delay on the road."
Jiang Wu Xie still lifted the curtain: "Then I'll send you a ride."
Given this situation, if Jiang Wangru refused again, it would be a complete disregard for Jiang Wuxie's face. Their relationship would become hostile.
Therefore, with a flick of his robe corner, he bent over and entered the carriage.
As always, the carriage was filled with alluring scents.
A soft couch and a warm stove, jade cups and golden pots.
There is one alluring and one pure, two beautiful women accompany.

A jade hand peels lychee, a red lip offers wine. She compares herself to all the luxurious treasures in a carriage.
Jiang Wang sat opposite Jiang Wu Xie.
Then Jiang Wu Xie laughed and softly coaxed the two beauties into another carriage, saying they should rest there first.
When they pouted and got out of the carriage, Jiang Wu Xie did not even bother to straighten his clothes. He only poured a cup of wine for Jiang Wang, who was slightly drunk, and asked, "What do you think of these two beauties, in Master Wuan's opinion"
Here is the text translated into English:

Jiang Wang objectively said, "Your cultivation is acceptable, but your combat awareness is lacking."
Jiang Wu Xie chuckled softly, and after a moment he said: "Xiao Si told me about you when she returned from the academy. She met you there."
The carriage road to the palace was smooth, with no bumps felt along the way.
"Xiaoxi"
"Oh, her full name is Qin Lian."
“So it’s Teacher Qin,” Jiang Wang said, still remembering the Academy’s instructor. “I wonder how she put it” Kai Jiang Wu Xie smiled, “She said you, Jiang Qingyang, are intelligent and studious, not like what some people say, a crude martial artist, but rather a talent in both literature and martial arts.”
She liked to hear this, of course she still had to be humble, waving her hand and saying: "Teacher Qin is flattering me."
"Alas!" Jiang Wu Xie suddenly sighed, "You came to Wen Yu Shui Xie first, and I was too optimistic about your future, asking for too much, which led you to transfer to Hua Ying Palace... Looking back on it now, I truly regret it every day!"
This is a paragraph.
When I went to sea to save Zhu Biqiong that year, it was indeed a difficult journey, seeking help from everyone. But looking back after many years have passed, I no longer feel the hardship. The anxiety, tension, and torment at the time, the helplessness of seeking help and racking my brains, after many years, are just a deep memory, like a painting hanging there. Vivid and lifelike, it can even be a laughing matter now.
Jiang Wang smiled lightly, her tone relaxed: "I still remember when I said 'the goodwill has ended', I had no resentment towards Your Highness. Speaking of which, I now have a trading firm under my name. Doing business is naturally a matter of give and take, with equal bargaining chips. Back then, the potential I showed wasn't enough, so if I were in Your Highness's position, I wouldn't agree either. I would also demand more. There's really nothing to blame."
“It turns out I was wrong, San Jie still has better vision,” Jiang Wuxie sighed: “I am as far from solitude as the distant stars!”

“The Palace Master of Huaying…” Jiang Wang paused for a moment before continuing, “She is not a transaction.”Kai Jiang Wu Xie pushed his wine cup, gesturing for Jiang Wang to clink glasses with him. After finishing the drink, he said, “You went on an expedition to the Illusory Realm this time. I heard about what happened between Qi Shuai and you… You should know that Qi Shuai has always supported my third sister, right You certainly know this, or you wouldn't trust her completely and step into the Saha Dragon Realm without any preparation.”
Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment before saying, "Qi Shuai is Qi Shuai, and Hua Ying Gongzhu is Hua Ying Gongzhu. If Qi Xiao carries out Hua Ying Gongzhu's will in everything, she is not Qi Xiao."
“Of course. No one has ever been able to restrict Qi Xiao; Qi Xiao is only loyal to himself.” Jiang Wu Xie did not deny Qi Xiao's free will, but turned and said: "Actually, you don't have to rush back. You can stay out and take a stroll. Although there is some discussion in the court, I have already suppressed it. In this battle of the Misty Realm, you are considered meritorious.”
Jiang Wang watched him quietly.
His eyes held a hint of melancholy, but his voice was firm: "After Eleven left, the military support he had gained largely went to the Third Sister. The literary officials who supported him mostly fell under my control. Coupled with the clan members who have always supported me, I still hold considerable sway in Linzi. A little dissent is nothing to be concerned about, it can be easily quelled. Why should it trouble my lofty ambitions"
Jiang Wang vaguely remembered, at the beginning, when he heard people's comments on several crown princes.
Speaking of the eleventh prince Jiang Wuqi, he is "the most like the current emperor."
As for the ninth prince Jiang Wuxie, he is "very similar to the martial ancestor."
He had always thought that the similarities between Jiang Wuxie and Emperor Qi Wu were only in their charm and handsomeness. Only now, with Jiang Wuxie casually displaying his muscles, did he see a few hints of "the methods of the Martial Ancestor."
He was already a high-ranking official in the Empire. Could Jiang Wuxie's silent and unseen political influence already affect his reputation at this level
Jiang Wang did not remain silent for long, only asking, "What does Your Highness request"
“I ask for nothing.” Jiang Wuxie laughed: “Right now, I don’t want to make a deal with you!”
Jiang Wang let out a soft sigh: "Your Highness's good intentions, Jiang Wang understands. From now on, there is no need for this. Some things, since I have done them, regardless of the consequences, are what I should face. Let them say what they will."
"Some minor matters, no need to rush to refuse." Jiang Wu Xie reached out and stopped him, saying, "You are from the Ming family, I hold you in my palm. The voices in the court are irrelevant and cannot cause any waves. " He pointed upwards with his finger: "That person's thoughts are deep and unfathomable. Even as his son, I tread carefully on thin ice. Fortunately, you have the favor of heaven, it should not be difficult to pass this level. Afterwards..."
He didn't say any more.
Jiang Wang glanced at the roof of the car, and fell silent as well.
"Just now at the city gate... Wang Yi's edge remains sharp." Jiang Wuji suddenly asked
"What do you think of this defeated subordinate of yours"
The term "hand-down loser" coming out of Jiang Wu Xie's mouth was quite peculiar.
Because he had once been defeated by Wang Yiwu under his command, they had a real confrontation and he lost.
But when you really think about it, who could defeat Wang Yiwu in the Tongtian Realm Kai Jiang Wang said: "A momentary victory or defeat doesn't tell us anything."
Knock knock.
Jiang Wu Xie knocked on the table, with a hint of drunkenness in his smile: "I've heard enough pleasantries, I want to hear some truth."
Considering that Jiang Wu Xie took the initiative to help quell the public uproar in court, Jiang Wang said: “He undoubtedly possesses a strong heart and will not be defeated by anyone or anything. But I will never look back.”
>
Jiang Wuxie burst into laughter.
He knew that Jiang Wang, speaking like this, was considered to have some friendship with him beyond just business dealings. Although it wasn't much.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
"Laughing, Jiang Wuxie then said: "Do you know how I view him"
Jiang Wangdao: "Enlighten me."
“I boldly declare,” Jiang Wuji said earnestly, “Among the talented youths of Qi State in this generation, if there is anyone who can match your cultivation and that of Champion Hou, it would be Wang Yiwu alone!”
At the Battle of Dongjiekou, you turned the once undefeated number one martial artist across all eras, who had conquered countless foes, into a laughingstock. Then, you won the inner palace competition, outshining even Xingyue Yuan, the top genius of the Starry Moon realm. In the outer hall, you defeated Chong Xuan, the formidable war general, and in your campaign against Xia, you ascended to the level of a god... Given all this, if Wang Yiwu were to train diligently and catch up, it wouldn't be surprising at all. After all, we know that he lacks nothing in terms of foundation, potential, talent, or lineage.

But he, even after being pulled away from you, remains unhurried and steady, striving for perfection in every step. That truly impresses me.
“Wang Yiwu’s character was so arrogant, back then he was utterly contemptuous of others! Breaking bandits in the mountains is easy, but breaking bandits in one's heart is difficult. To tame the inner demons and subdue them into soldiers is even harder. After this period of dormancy, it wouldn’t be difficult to once again see him pierce through clouds and reach the moon.”
Of course, Jiang Wang understood all of this. Having clashed directly with Wang Yi'wu before, he had never underestimated him. But after thinking about it for a moment, he simply said: "Your Highness seems to be talking about yourself as well."
Jiang Wuqidi arrived in a flash of divine power, forming an autumn frost.
Jiang Wuyou opened the path of martial arts, proving himself to be a deity.
The East Palace Prince Jiang Wu Hua, also calmly achieved the divine realm, maintaining his cultivation level neither ascending nor descending.
Of the four palace masters vying for the Dragon Throne in the Great Qi Empire, only Jiang Wuxie, the "quasi-martial ancestor" master of the Imperial Palace of Nourishing the Heart, had yet to show signs of a golden body and jade marrow.
He doesn't seem to be in a hurry.
This is not also a kind of firm confidence in the future
As for Jiang Wang's probing, Jiang Wu Xie only laughed and personally lifted the curtain: "We've arrived!"
Jiang Wang stepped out of the carriage. As the wheels rolled away into the distance, he looked up at the palace gate. The majestic palace walls spoke of the grandeur of the Qi royal family, and the fluttering banners seemed to roar across the cosmos.
Even today, when Jiang Wang stands before this grand imperial palace complex, he appears so insignificant.
Twelve stories high, the imperial city is as deep as the sea!
"Who comes here" A commanding voice echoed from the deep recesses of the building.
Qi Wu'anhou Jiang Wang stood on the plaza paved with white jade from Taiyi Heaven, and loudly proclaimed: “Qi Wu’anhou Jiang Wang requests an audience with the Emperor!”
A voice in the loft paused for a moment before replying, “My lord, please wait a moment. I shall report this at once.”
>
Jiang Wangdao said, "It's fine," then stood still in front of the palace gate. The square was deserted, with only a solitary figure.
This wait, it was a full two hours.
When the sky had turned dusky and vast, as if it were descending, Han Ling, dressed in his inner court attire, walked out of the palace gates and stood before Jiang Wang.
The gigantic palace gate towered like a monstrous maw, ready to devour all.
Both Jiang Wang and Han Ling were in perilous danger before it.
Before this palace, shrouded in shadow and steeped in history, where countless stories have been swallowed whole, its grandeur becomes all the more striking, all the more dangerous. Whether it's the crimson robes of the Chief Imperial Eunuch or the blue garments of the Marquis of Wu'an.
"Wuhan Hou, have you been drinking" asked Han Ling. "I had a cup with the Ninth Prince on the way here," replied Jiang Wang.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Han Ling nodded and said, "Go back. The emperor doesn't want to see you."
This was the first time Jiang Wang had heard the phrase "The emperor doesn't want to see you" since entering Qi, and the first time he had failed to meet the emperor!
Even on his usual returns to court, the emperor would summon him immediately. He couldn't refuse.
This sentence, "I don't want to see you," is too light when said lightly, and too heavy when said seriously.
But Jiang Wang simply bowed and said: "Thank you, Han Tongguan, for relaying this to the Emperor - I, Jiang Wang, am a third-rank Jin Gua warrior, receiving a salary. I have never shirked my duties. Now, I request permission to guard the Emperor."
Han Ling looked at him steadily, then turned and walked back into the deep palace gate. All she left behind was a word, "Soon."The crimson robe seemed like a ghost in the night.
On such a night, looking at his back, Jiang Wang remembered their candlelit years.
The night watchman of the Great Qi Empire, with only three Night Wandering Gods left in existence, has reached a dead end. His path is cut off, and he awaits his demise. I wonder if he's still patrolling at this moment
> A thousand years of watching the night, the deeper the leak, the longer the night!
After waiting for about half a moment, Han Ling walked out of the palace gate again and said in a voice devoid of any emotion: "Your Majesty said that the palace is not short of guards. Marquis Wuan is used to doing whatever he wants, and he doesn't need to report it first."
He took a step forward and whispered, "It's late. Perhaps the Marquis should return to rest and not disturb His Majesty."
Jiang Wang retreated one step, and politely bowed, "I obey your command!" Before Han Ling could understand what he obeyed, he turned around on the spot, drew his sword from his waist, and the azure garment on his body seemed to transform into armor. In an instant, he was imposing and dignified, standing there like a door pillar.
Han Ling went around to him and said, “Lord Wu'an, what do you mean by this”
Jiang Wang looked straight ahead and said, "The palace of the State of Qi is His Majesty's home. Since His Majesty has granted me autonomy, I shall guard here! General Han, please return. I, Jiang, am guarding the gate for the emperor and cannot see you off."
Han Ling opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He turned back every few steps as he walked back to the palace.
