h step he took, a stone pillar rose from the ground where he had stood.He circled Yu Beidou and Liu Huai, a full forty-nine stone pillars, encircling them completely.The blood flowing from Liu Huai's...The elderly emperor who had been clinging to power, draining the resources of Yonghuo and refusing to step down, has passed away. This has cleared the way for his son, Han Xu, to reform the government. He revitalized the nation and brought it prosperity, thereby making the path clear for Zhenren...

For Zhuang Gaoxian, who had been closely following Yongguo and developed a large network of informants there, this was not a secret. As for the development of the national situation, he also had a clear understanding, and it wasn't difficult to deduce backward.

He just pretended not to know, because Han Xu deliberately concealed it. He just waited for a key moment and played along with the flow.

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

The previous order to Song Qingyue to go to the Dragon Palace and lay the groundwork for collecting the water of the Lanhe River was just a way to elicit a reaction from Han Xu.

If Han Xu were to rely on his hidden Dòngzhēnxiū as a crutch, he would surely seize the opportunity and have this gentleman meet Han Yin!

But Han Xu today dressed up alone, clearly no longer hiding his cultivation.

Why conceal it for so long, today I will not conceal it

Zhuang Gaoxian's heart rose a thread of caution.

But then he reacted. The threshold of the Tai Xu Alliance was simply the Dao of Truth.

If Han Xu, the young boy, were to endure this any longer, he would miss out on this grand feast and the dramatic shifts in the world that would unfold over the next ten or twenty years. He certainly couldn't bear to do so.

If one cannot even grasp this strategic vision and understand the importance of the alliance with Taixu, then they are unfit to be the ruler of Yongguo. Han Xu is not worthy of sitting on the throne of Yongguo. After Han Yin's death, he has been a rival to me for many years.

"What affairs today, on this grand river!" Zhuang Gao sighed with admiration.

"How could Your Majesty the Yong Emperor have met the Son of Heaven!"

Compared to the well-maintained, middle-aged man's imposing appearance, Han Xu has a much darker complexion. However, his eyebrows and eyes are wider and more gentle, giving him the impression of someone who has been subdued by the oppressive power of Han Yin for years.

This mildness, when he was still a prince and at the beginning of his reign, was often seen as weakness.

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

Not until Han Yin was killed in battle did he step forward to turn the tide, revealing his tenacity and grand ambitions to the world.

As for those like Zhuang Gaoen who share a certain understanding with him, they know even better his ruthlessness.

At that time, the Yong Kingdom was a giant centipede. Though decaying, it was still powerful enough to enjoy riches and luxury. Not everyone had the courage to overthrow the existing order.

Facing Zhuang Gaoxian's arrogance, Han Xu just smiled faintly:

“You’re mistaken, aren’t you Isn’t this the Emperor Yong seeing his old minister Your ancestor still had to kneel before my Han family. Master Huai De, please don’t forget your ancestors.”

“How many days have you been truly enlightened, yet you can’t control your temper” Zhuang Gaoxian sighed.

“It is truly disappointing. Han Yin's body is yet to turn cold, and you have already lost the cunning of your past days in Qilin City. With such conduct, how can you possibly treat your people well”

Han Xu's face remained unchanged:

Jiang Wang abandoned his country and fled, Zhu Wei sees you as an enemy, Lin Zhengren climbed onto the Guanhe Platform and dared not draw his sword to denounce him. Generation after generation of proud talents like this, this is all a result of your Zhuang Gao's kindness! My Bei Gong Ke, but he fought until exhausted on stage.

Zhuang Gaoxian felt the same, unruffled emotion.

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

"Those who are ungrateful and unfaithful, where aren't they"

"Yeah." Han Xu agreed.

"Like that Zhuang Chengqian, deeply trusted by Emperor Ming, entrusted with military power and state affairs. Yet he secretly declared himself independent, splitting the country during a time of national crisis, betraying loyalty and benevolence, lacking righteousness and shame. To this day you stand before me, still daring to be so arrogant!"

“Shameless scoundrel, you still have the face to mention Emperor Yongming!” Zhuang Gaoxian pointed and scolded:

"In the past, my ancestor, the founder of our state, received the imperial mandate from Emperor Ming to return power to his heirs. However, your father, Han Yin, usurped the throne, causing widespread suffering and forcing countless heroes to rebel against him. My ancestor had no choice but to establish the State of Zhuang, carrying on the spirit of Emperor Yongming. Han Yin murdered his nephew for the sake of power, and you, Han Xu, killed your own father to seize control. Today, you dare speak to me of virtue and righteousness Where is your shame"

Han Xu's face was expressionless. He drew out a black long sword and pointed it at Zhuang Gao Xian:

He was so confident, he dared to wager on the attendees of the Void Alliance meeting!

Zhuang Gao Xian couldn't imagine where Han Xu got his confidence from. What kind of support had the Mohist school given him

But no matter what kind of support, since ancient times, humans have surpassed tools. External objects are not something to rely on!

Even a child wielding a steel blade would find it difficult to fight an adult.

A certain Han Xu had taken refuge in a remote cave...in the Jiulong Pengri Yongzhen Mountain, where the Imperial Seal of River and Mountains resided. It was hidden from the eyes of all, thus making it difficult for the Mohists to interfere with his affairs.

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

If we can defeat and kill him, then the land of Yong will surely fall in one fell swoop. Though the Mohists support Han Xu, Jucheng is not equal to the Han dynasty's Yong Dynasty. If Han Xu dies, the Mohists' support could easily shift, and he himself may be able to shed his old skin and escape the control of Yujing Mountain.

Jing Guo, Yu Jing Mountain, Yi Zhen Dao, these suspension bridges gradually narrowed, he had walked very dangerously, it was time to introduce new changes.

At that time, Zhuang Yong and... how could he not become another Emperor Yongming!

Compared to this, what Jiang Wangzhu hopes for alone isn't much of a crisis either. As he climbs higher and possesses more, these lone wolves will be even harder to reach. After all, the present world is an era of national institutions flourishing, and the official path is the top priority of national power.

"As well..." Zhuang Gaoxian had already developed murderous intent at this moment. With a flick of his robe sleeve, his face still held the same calm smile:

"We stand on the land where a thousand-mile river flows. Beneath the river lies a feast fit for dragons. We who are kings should also let the younger generations see what it means to be a true master. Let us have a friendly spar, allow Han Xu to witness firsthand how much he lags behind in understanding the essence of truth compared to me!"

Either Han Xu just wanted to determine the victor and prove his mastery of the Dao, or he intended to seize this opportunity to make a life-or-death stand!

Here is the translated content:>Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Of course, this killing intent will only be released at the most critical moment.

At such a moment, Han Xu's expression was equally flat. He seemed to completely miss Zhuang Gao Xian's murderous intent, only saying:

"To govern by understanding the true nature of affairs, is virtuous governance, and the foundation of one's official duties. To use a country as a tool to understand the truth, I don't even know how to describe it... The gap you speak of, I too would like to see where it lies!"

No sooner had he spoken than

Figures in black and white robes rushed towards each other!

The river flows without a ripple, not even the clouds dare to move, all under the same sky as the mountains and rivers.

But with this battle as the center, all energy was concentrated into one mass, making it difficult for heaven and earth to reveal their true colors.

Before the Tai Xu Alliance officially opened, the monarchs of Zhuang Yong and two countries staged a show for the world!

The Dragon Palace Gate, separating time and space.

When the world is in upheaval, even the Dragon Palace is bustling with brilliant stars.

>

Jiang Wang left his seat alone to prepare the offerings for the Dragon Lord. Some people pondered, while others remained indifferent.

After leaving Qi, Jiang [someone's name] had no one to rely on. It's understandable that they wanted to flatter the Dragon Lord and gain some favor.

Only when the palace gate closed did it cut off that solitary figure's path.

Lin Zhengren sat in a corner of the main hall, and suddenly felt fear.

What is Jiang Wang going to do

What to get as a gift

There isn't enough information to know if the Taixu Alliance is involved in this. It's also unknown if Zhuang Gaoxian has left the country. This creates a distance between Lin Zhengren and the truth.

But his innate caution still made him uneasy—he wasn't worried for Jiang Wang or Zhuang Gao's safety, but rather the uncertainty of the situation. It filled him with apprehension, leaving him unsure how to grasp his own destiny!

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

Jiang Wang must do something.

After years of studying Jiang Wang, he was very certain about this.

But the presence of God appearing in a killing cave was completely impossible. He subconsciously avoided this kind of speculation.

What worries him most... is that now Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui are very wary of him, keeping their core secrets from him. All he knows this time is that he will represent the State of Zhuang at the Dragon Palace Banquet and needs to perform well, but he has no idea what other plans Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui have.

Therefore, it's impossible to speculate.

What exactly is Jiang Wang planning to do

Has Zhuang Gaoxian done anything else

How will I be manipulated on the board this time, and what role will I play

"The Dragon Master of Nandou Hall, Lu Benji, suddenly said:"

"Since Jiang Wang went to fetch the gift, do we need to wait for him here"

"Needless to say." Huang He, the grand steward, Fu Yunqin said:

“The Longgong Banquet is a feast for the world's best and brightest, not held for just one person. As the banquet progresses as usual, Jiang Wang misses so much,”

It's all his own business.

"That's the way it is." Dou Zhao ate a few bites, then picked up his wine cup and swirled it, waiting for the attendant beside him to pour him some wine. At the same time, he said casually:

But since Li Yi and Cang Ming aren't coming, and Jiang Wang doesn't know how long he'll be busy, what am I doing here keeping company with you lot of lowlifes

The palace had been peaceful for a moment, but now it was in an uproar again, with everyone agitated and restless.

Well-trained Dragon Palace attendants pour wine without any expression.

Beside him, Zhong Liyan stared fixedly at the liquor, wishing he could poison it with his gaze. What a villain! He dared to commit such a terrible act against a mere child. When he was in the mood for a taste of this, didn't he know to add a "men" One day, when I have power, I will exile you to Yinxian Forest!

Dou Zhao ignored Long Boji's expression and didn't care about being affected by his words at all. He only lazily said to Ao Shu:

“Your Majesty, what have you prepared for this Dragon Palace banquet Why don't you bring it out now and save us time—I need to get back to work, I still have to slaughter Ye’er later.”

Ye'er wasn't annoyed at all, instead she smiled:

>

"Dou Zhao ah Dou Zhao, Chu State having you is probably not a blessing. Even Jiang Wang has to flee in desperation before me, how do you plan to kill me"

She was the first of the Three Fragrances Tower's Heavenly Fragrance. When she first arrived at the beginning of the month, she was only the seventh Heavenly Fragrance. Later, she became the number one Heart Fragrance.

Originally, being recognized by the king of Chu meant that the State of Chu could participate in the Yellow River Assembly without any restrictions. How could Ye'er be a weakling In Daoli 3919, she was also preparing to compete with powerful figures like Ji Zhaonan and Huang Budong!

Today, to represent San Fen Xiang Qi Lou at this Long Gong banquet, she has already prepared for the challenge. To establish a presence in the world, how could San Fen Xiang Qi Lou not demonstrate its true abilities

She arrived before Douzhao Shenlin for so long, although her words were not boastful, but her confidence in herself was also not at all lacking.

“That's easy,” Dou Zhao sneered.

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

"Your Majesty, weren't you eager to see a sword dance My swordsmanship surpasses Jiang Wang in every way. Allow me to replace the sword with my blade and perform a dance for you, Your Majesty. If you survive the performance, I shall let you live this time!"

Ye'er managed her expression very well, smiling just right.

"A Dragon Palace Grand Gathering, just this simple and straightforward fighting is rather boring. Why not add a little spice to it"

>

"Anything you want as a prize, I will grant it to you." Dou Zhao said without any hesitation.

"As long as you're willing to fight."

Night'er's beautiful eyes rippled.

"If you fail to kill me after this dance, I will not ask you to let me go. After the feast, your pursuit can continue. I only ask that you represent Chu State and acknowledge the autonomy of my Three Fragrant Floors Pavilion. Can you agree"

“How can this be a gamble” Left Guangshu immediately voiced his objection.

"Under no circumstances will the Sanfen Xiangqi Lou ever be recognized! Your infighting is your—"

“I agreed.” Dou Zhao said calmly.

Zuo Guangshu was so angry that his handsome face flushed red.

"Dou Zhao, you—"

>

“I said I would kill her, and I will definitely kill her.” Dou Zhao said lightly.

"Does it matter what the bet is"

This condition was undoubtedly very unfavorable to Dou Zhao. Even Zuo Guangsu jumped out to stop it, but Dou Zhao still readily accepted it, demonstrating unparalleled confidence!

The attention of the proud genius inside the hall immediately focused.

The clash between Dou Zhao and Ye'er, isn't that a good show Before the grand banquet begins, let's have a look at this first!

But at this moment, a jarring sound rang out—

But it was Lin Zhengren, sitting in the corner of the main hall, who spat out a mouthful of blood.

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

Chang He Longjun, seated on his grand throne, looked amused. This scene... was somewhat familiar.

Of course, Yong Guo's northern palace Ke wouldn't miss the opportunity to add insult to injury. He immediately expressed concern:

"Zhengren, if you are seriously ill, go back to recuperate and don't force yourself to attend the banquet. If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to Zhuang Jun"

Lin Zhengren used a handkerchief to painstakingly wipe the corner of his mouth and nodded at Bei Gong Ke.

"Thank you, Brother Bei Gong, for your concern. I'm not feeling well, so I won't stay here and disturb everyone's enjoyment... Your Majesty, lords and ladies, Zheng Ren takes his leave first."

He was so gentle and polite, in stark contrast to Beigong Ke's malicious aura.

Bei Gong Ke's heart sank. He didn't know exactly what was wrong, but he couldn't let Lin Zhengren get his way. He immediately said:

"Hey, don't rush back! If something is bothering you, just tell me. The true teachings of Renxin Guan and Dong Wang Gu are here, surely we can help you"

"It's not a physical issue..." Lin Zhengren shook his head.

>

“It’s because I’ve subdued too many evil spirits, exceeding my limits and suffering backlash. It's not a matter of anything else. Just give me a quiet room, and I’ll be able to suppress it soon enough.”

Hearing that he only needed a quiet room to suppress the evil spirit and wasn't leaving the Long River Palace directly, Bei Gong Ke didn't say anything more.

> Fu Yunqin waved his hand:

"In that case, you should go and rest first."

The servants of the Dragon Palace led Lin Zhengren out of the hall.

Making their way through the majestic and grand Dragon Palace, the palace attendants were attentive and caring:

"Young Master Lin, the quiet room is over there. Would you like some refreshments—ah"

But all he did was place his hand on his chest and stride away.

"The evil spirit is too restless, it can't be contained any longer. I must return to my country to subdue it with the strength of my nation. Please ask the Dragon King for leave on my behalf!"

He cannot wait for everything to settle.

He has no right to wait.

Because whether it's Jiang Wang or Zhuang Gaoxian, Du Ruhui, they all have no good intentions towards him Lin Zhengren!

He has to jump in!

The stench of blood and rain that hung over Maplewood City would have to give way to calmer times one day.

His years of forbearance should also have a phased answer!

>nly to be shattered in the silence.In this specific and detailed grasp, those pavilions, towers, carriages, pedestrians... everything that made up the flaming city, suddenly collapsed!The city of Yan...
