circled and landed in front of Jiang An'an instead."The letter is for me!" Jiang An'an giggled, putting down the calligraphy scroll she was practicing on. She grabbed the cloud crane transformed into...The positions of the ten camps' main generals, eight of them have already been decided. Everyone knows this.
The remaining two spots would likely be contested by Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, and Lei Zhanyan, all of whom could rival Gao Zhe. As for prodigies from outside the State of Qi, they are simply not within his consideration.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This sudden war, seemingly a grand and fierce affair, is at its core simply a clash between the younger generations of Qi and Jing. Both sides seek to test each other's mettle while avoiding an escalation of violence.
A hegemonic nation, if it throws its full weight behind a conflict, countries like Xiang and Xu would likely be reduced to rubble.
Therefore, from the perspectives of both Xiang and Xu nations, they would rather take on this war themselves. At least after the war, they could still receive compensation from the hegemon country.
>
Of two evils, one must be chosen.
That is why the current situation has come to be. The young prodigies of Qi and Jing states gathered at Xingyueyuan, a dazzling array of stars competing for glory.
Therefore, the fact that Dou E's military commander stationed himself only at Wanhe Temple to observe astronomical omens but did not come to Xingyue battlefield demonstrates this attitude. In reality, he was showing off his power to the entire world, rather than just to Qi.
On the barren plains of Xingyue, all the countries except Qi Jing were merely playing a role in drumming up support.
With eight people, including Bob Zhao, comfortably seated at the fishing platform, Gao Zhe likely believed that speaking first would give him an advantage. By doing so, he could potentially secure a spot and gain favor from the others.
After all, Gao Zhe is one of the few heir-designated young masters from a prominent family with a very influential social circle. Yan Fu, Jiang Wang, Chong Xuan Sheng, Li Longchuan… they are all regulars at gatherings for drinking and entertainment. Although there were some minor conflicts yesterday, it did not affect the overall situation. The Gao family and the Chong Xuan family have mutual interests, and Gao Zhe himself is highly valuable as an investment!
>
But as soon as Gao Zhe finished speaking, Lei Zhanyan, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, immediately raised his eyes and looked at him.
He sat like a crouching tiger.
Those eyes, like a raging sea.
>
"Would you rather choose a battle of words or a battle of martial arts" Lei Zhanyan said.
Gao Zhe: ...
Are you freaking insane!
There are still two spots left there, and as soon as I opened my mouth, you came up to argue with me
I talked about my strengths, you can also talk about your strengths, let's discuss together, okay
Why don't you take a look at who is vying for the next spot and pick the weakest one to target
How could this be! You are too much!
But in this situation, he could never show weakness right away, or else "building achievements for the state of Qi" would become a joke.
Therefore, he sneered: "What about literary skills What about martial arts"
Actually, when Wen Lianmu heard Gao Zhe's words, he wanted to say, "When it comes to military strategy, I'm not troubled at all." But seeing Lei Zhanyan speak so aggressively, he held back.
Hearing Gao Zhe's tough talk, he was even more energetic and excitedly perked up his ears.
Gao Zhe's biggest problem is that he can't tell right from wrong, much like the disgraced Gao Qing. Perhaps the most outstanding member of the younger generation in the entire Jinghai Gao family is Gao Jing, but unfortunately, he has fallen into the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm.
Moreover, Gao Jing also had the same problem—this was probably a problem for the entire Gao clan of Jinghai—they took Qi Emperor's favoritism towards Jing Gui Fei as the authority that would prevent their decline, and thus, considered themselves a top-tier family in Daqi.
Last time in the Tianfu Secret Realm, they managed to get two spots. Gao Shaoling was able to easily secure the position of Chi Wei Town Suppressor... These things gave them a false sense of security.
But this foundation is extremely shaky.
Even a close relative like Jiang Wuqi, with the appearance of a noble father figure, has a day when he falls out of favor. Can Jing Guifei truly remain eternally favored
There is also a fatal weakness—Concubine Jing has no children.
Gao Zhe's value is not as huge as he imagined.
>
Yan Fu and Li Longchuan kept playing with him because he was still clear-headed back then, not because his family was particularly powerful.
Even someone like Lin Xian, who was from a foreign land, could see the rift between him and others like Chong Xuan Sheng at a glance. Yet, he himself merely thought it was a small matter.
There are certainly many people in the world willing to give face to the Gao family of Jinghai, but unfortunately, there aren't many such people present in this military tent at the moment.
Lei Zhanqian didn't avoid getting slapped in the face, Wen Lianmu also ended up on top.
Have you not seen that the continuous field is always eager to try
As for someone like Lei Zhan, since he has raised his hand, the slap will naturally not be held back. Without any hesitation, he said: "Wen Jiao is a match between the two of us. Wu Jiao is a confrontation between our armies. Life and death are predetermined, we have no grievances against each other. You can choose either one, and I am willing to do so!"
Strictly speaking, Lei Zhanqian was still qualified to secure a fixed position as the main general. Although the Lei family wasn't at the top tier of aristocratic families, he was the cousin of Jiang Wuqi, the master of Changsheng Palace.
Ke Cheng also rose and fell with Jiang Wuqi. He was destined to share the same glory and misfortune as Jiang Wuqi.
The turmoil surrounding the case of Cui Zhu's assassination of the Emperor seemed to have ended on that morning in front of the Purple Extreme Hall.
But the ripples thus caused, in Qi State, never ceased.
At least for Changsheng Palace, this was the case...
Compared to Chang樂 Palace, Huaying Palace, and Yangxin Palace, the influence of Changsheng Palace has plummeted.
Although the emperor had shown leniency to Jiang Wuqi, he was no longer as close to this eleventh prince as he once was.
In the past, I would be summoned to the palace every few days to dine with the emperor. However, since the Cui Zhu incident, there has been no such occurrence again.
Thus, all these things lead to this: on the starlit plains, Lei Zhan Qian still needs to fight for it.
It's just...
To compete for a spot with the likes of Gaozhe, these nouveau riche offspring, is an utter disgrace to Lei Zhanyan!
So he opened his mouth and declared that life and death were predetermined, not giving Gao Zhe any face at all.
Gao Zhe: ...
F*** you. This piece is about choosing between fighting and writing. Where's the "writing" in this It's all about going all out!
But how dare he fight Lei Zhanyan to the death
Don't look at Jiang Wang's thunderous attacks like he's hitting children. He's actually qualified to compete for a spot on the Guanhe Stage!
Gao Zhe felt awkward, his face starting to hurt from the embarrassment, but luckily he had already experienced this awkwardness yesterday. He was no longer so unfamiliar with this feeling.
Gritting his teeth and twitching the corner of his mouth, he reluctantly said, “What's with all this talk about literature versus martial arts, life or death without resentment It’s laughable. Besides, there are two main general positions, we could each take one. There's no need to end up in a mutual destruction scenario where both sides look bad.”
By this point, I've already given in and am only barely maintaining a facade.
Amusingly, it's also a bit pitiable.
But he decisively split the position in half. How could Wen Lianmu and Tian Chang agree to that
“Brother Lei, can you give me a position I don’t know.” Tian Chang said in a calm voice: “But Brother Gao, you completely excluded me. That’s something to discuss. Otherwise… let’s have a literary or martial contest, and you choose one for me too”
This unassuming, even dull person, when baring their fangs, suddenly exudes a chilling coldness!
Wen Lianmu smiled faintly: "If it's about leading troops to confront each other, I wouldn't mind facing anyone."
No one is willing to give way!
Gao Zhe quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind and decisively said, "Since Brother Tian has said so, I will compete with you for a spot. Brother Lei and Brother Wen will compete for another spot. We are all working for the great Qi state, so there should be no resentment in victory or defeat!"
>
He wasn't a complete fool, he had some smarts, otherwise, he wouldn't have come up with the idea of using ginger to scare away Lin Xian.
This sounds fair, but it actually changes the situation from four people competing for two spots to two people competing for one spot.
He questioned if his cultivation was inferior to Lei Zhanyan's, and his military leadership couldn't compare to Wen Lianmu's. If it were a four-against-two situation, he likely wouldn't achieve anything.
But the difference lies in the fact that, out of the four people, the one who seemed easiest to manipulate, the "soft persimmon," was naturally assigned to a different group.
This was the most advantageous choice he could think of in a short time.
Lei Zhanyan remained silent, as he didn't care who he faced. Wen Lianmu also kept quiet. When it came to leading troops into battle, he had his own arrogance, believing that he wouldn't lose to Lei Zhanyan.
Tian Chang was even more silent. Gao Zhe treated him as a pushover, and he couldn't have been happier.
But Chong Xuan's voice rang out just then: "No, you only have one general position left."
Gao Zhe looked over with surprise and anger.
Zhong Xuan Sheng had not even looked at him. He leaned back in a specially made large chair, glanced around left and right, and said gracefully: "I believe everyone already knows about Jiang Wang's affairs. I originally advised him to cultivate peacefully, but since now the whole world knows, it is appropriate to come to Xingyueyuan and return a favor to the people of Jingguo..."
“I have already sent someone to invite him, and he should arrive within two days.”
"Speaking of which, he smiled: 'The number one internal affairs official in history coming to take command of a camp, I doubt anyone would object, right'"
"Of course not!" someone immediately responded. "With Jiang Wang here, what does Xu San amount to And what of Wang Kun or Pei Hongjiu What are they to fear"
The speaker is Yigu Country's genius, Li Jie.
Zhong Xuan Sheng glanced at him, surprised by the precision with which he held it.
The country of Yi was a small nation located south of the state of Chang, not far from Tianxing Cliff. It was deeply influenced by Legalist thought. The people of this country favored integrity and outspokenness, and generally possessed a strong sense of earnestness.
The names Li Jie mentioned were all famous inner court geniuses of the Jingguo.
It's not exactly arrogance, after all, Jiang Wang achieved the name of the first inner palace in history. In the realm of the inner palace, there is indeed no need to be humble.
If one were to mention Jing Guo Chen Suan, that kind of prodigy from the outer court, as an example, it would be a bit like excessive praise. The current scale is handled very delicately...it's a matter of personal talent.
Zhong Xuan had the mood to comment on people here, but Gao Zhe's words ruined his mood.
Looking at Chongxuan Sheng, he managed a wry smile. "Ah Sheng, don't joke around. Jiang Wang hasn't arrived yet."
Zheng Xuan smiled slyly at him: "I never joke with strangers."
As soon as these words were spoken, the stance became clear and boundaries were drawn. From then on, there was no more playing games with Gao Zhe.
>
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Gao Zhe was taken aback and for a moment, he couldn't react.
Although Jiang Wang has a big reputation, he's not even here to take part. It doesn't seem right for him to claim a position as a main force when he isn't present! This is a battlefield, not a place for childish games. We are here to fight for life and death, to win or lose, not playing war games on a sand table. He wants a spot... maybe he should have come sooner" A voice suddenly spoke from the back rows of seats.
“Who is this person” Chong Xuan asked the people around him.
"Declare for the State of Zhao!" the resolute young man declared loudly.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
He glared fiercely at Chong Xuan Sheng, refusing to show any weakness.
Among the states of the Eastern Region, if you were to rank those who most admired Qi, Zhao would undoubtedly be among the top few. Even compared to Yang during its time, Zhao leaned even closer towards Qi. Regardless of those in power, the vast majority of Zhao's people yearned to be incorporated into Qi.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Unthinkable, in such a country, there could still be someone with temper who dares to question the talented young master from Qi.
Li Longchuan got up directly, walked to this person, and raised his chin: "Go out, let's talk."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Too decisive, too overbearing.
Gu Yan was obviously stunned and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xidu's wife.
Even the highest-ranked and most respected noblewoman in the realm, Xi Du Fu Ren, sat quietly beside the commander's seat, unmoved by it all.
She was clearly very aware of who was in control of this war.
>
And those who were unclear should also have become clear upon seeing her attitude.
Gu Yan's face turned pale and red several times, but in the end, she gritted her teeth, got up, and walked towards the outside of the military tent.
"Then I'll chat with you!" he said fiercely.
The two of them walked out of the military tent, one after the other.
There was no comment on this in the account.
To be honest, Gu Yan's questioning was logically sound.
But the essence of this matter is to question the dominance of the Qi Nation's genius on this battlefield.
So Li Longchuan didn't bother arguing with him at all. He simply used his power to overpower him and took him out of the tent. This was a direct attack, piercing through the enemy's momentum.
Perhaps Gu Yan wanted to fight for the rights of small countries, or perhaps he just wanted to gain credit...
Li Longchuan was too lazy to care. As the son of the Li family of Shimen, he had the privilege of not caring.
The ten camps Fang You released were absolutely more important than their current performance indicated. Otherwise, Chong Xuan wouldn't have felt the need to speak up for Jiang Wang.
As for Jiang Wang, who has achieved the top position in the inner palace throughout history, his future prospects need not be mentioned. Upon returning to Qi State, he did not ask for anything or demand anything, yet he was inevitably rewarded with imperial favor.
In general, ordinary interests are not something to be taken too seriously.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But now Gao Zhe, Tian Chang, and Wen Lianmu are arguing red-faced. Lei Zhanyan, who originally didn't seem to intend to participate in the Xingyue Original Battlefield, rushed over before tonight...
I guess they all heard some rumors.
Li Longchuan, based on some rumors he had heard, determined the general situation and decisively stepped forward to cooperate. He didn't even glance at Chong Xuan Sheng.
...Zhong Xuan's heart ... only had the two words "worry-free".
As expected of a family renowned for military prowess, they've been trained in martial arts since childhood. They are so much easier to rely on than Jiang Wang!
Zhong Xuansheng and Li Longchuan effortlessly controlled the situation here, with Yan Fu observing quietly from the side.
Gao Zhe, however, was caught in a rage, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
He knew full well he couldn't possibly defeat Lei Zhanyan in a fight. If Jiang Wang also wanted a spot as a main general, then there would be no chance for him to command this time.
He came to the Xingyue Origin battlefield this time just to gild himself, bask in reflected glory, and make a name for himself.
This is not the end.
If he were to just give up like this, with his head hung low, then why would he even endure all this hardship Being the uncrowned king of Jinghai County wouldn't be enough to live a carefree life, would it
He knew that taking advantage of Jiang Wang's absence to make false accusations against him was already a grave injustice. But he hadn't expected the other party to be so heartless!
Is this really necessary
Must you push Gao Zhe to the opposite side
Was the interest connection between the Gao family and the Chong Xuan family not taken into consideration
But Zhong Xuan on the other side couldn't make sense of it anymore, he could only turn to Yan Fu: "Brother Yan, Jiang Wang is already the best in ancient and modern times, a legendary figure, not short of these one or two rounds of fame. Even if someone comes later, they will be well arranged wherever they go. We are all friends, is this necessary"
Yan Fu cast him a long, searching look before finally saying in a soft voice, "You know Jiang Wang's character. If you were to approach his camp, you could easily secure the position of deputy general."
>
Although many hurtful words could have been said, Yan Fu ultimately gave him face.
But Gao Zhe didn't feel any comfort, only absurdity.
As the heir of the esteemed Jinghai Gao family, I wouldn't need to consult with Jiang Wang to secure a deputy general.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Must you force my hand" he gritted out.
Yan Fu shook his head and smiled, but he said nothing more.
He is kind to others, but that doesn't mean he is afraid of anything. He once said that he would draw his sword to cut off idle chatter and wouldn't care about the other person's background, how could he be afraid
>
I'm only keeping a little face, and not holding it against you.
This is similar to an adult's leniency towards a child.
Cao Zhe, realizing this, almost gritted his teeth.
What he hated most was the feeling of not being respected enough among this group of people. Now, even Yan Fu treated him like this!
But when Chongxuan Sheng spoke, he realized what it truly meant to be "disrespected".
“You seem to think that Jiang Wang doesn't hold a position in this camp, so you have a place” Chong Xuan Sheng, who had been holding back his anger for a long time, looked at Gao Zhe, who was gritting his teeth, with cold eyes: “Are you stronger than Wen Lianmu or Tian Chang A person is valuable if he knows himself. But I think you seem to have no idea about your own weight! Tian Chang would find it no harder to kill you than a chicken. Do you really think you've picked on a soft target”
Tian Chang smiled and said nothing, although he was surprised by Chong Xuan's keenness, he did not show it on his face.
And Chong Xuan's words instantly detonated Gao Zhe. The resentment he had been suppressing for so long exploded: "What about Jiang Wang! Does he have three heads and six arms! I eat and drink with him, and I didn't see anything different about him! His legendary achievements are probably just rumors!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Challenging the legend of the Tianfu elders Don't you find that ridiculous Despicable, flesh-cutting, face-ripping, beheading—aren't these all the actions of powerful, wicked beings from the outer realm Yet, Jiang Wang can single-handedly fight four When those three demons were killed by Jiang Wang, were they truly at their peak Or were they in a weakened state after being suppressed by Yu Beidou From Linzi to overseas, Jiang Wang is accustomed to creating hype. Are you all deceiving yourselves as well"
"Your animosity towards Jiang Wang is utterly baffling and inexplicable." Yan Fu frowned. "How has he ever wronged you"
Gao Zhe was fed up with these people's contempt, and he was ready to break the pot and smash it, thoroughly tearing his face. Chong Xuan Sheng and they didn't give him any face, he, as the heir of a big family, had to continue flattering them
"You can't just talk yourself out of this, is that right" He sneered. "We aren't talking about whether he offended me or not, we're talking about why he's absent from everyone else, and wants the main commander position based on his name alone! Who is he Is he worthy!"

“It seems you’ve harbored a grudge against Jiang Qingyang for quite some time.” Chong Xuansheng said in a calm voice. “When he arrives, should I ask him to apologize to you and inquire about how he displeased you”
"Then let's wait until he gets here and talk," Gao Zhe said coldly.
At this time, behind Wang Yiwu, a voice said: "When the four devils—Wàn , Xuē Ròu, Jiē Miàn, and Kǎn Tóu—attacked Jiang Wàng, they were all at their peak. This is absolutely true."
Turning to the source of the sound, everyone saw that it was Lin Xian, the Heaven's Pride of Rong Guo.
Gao Zhe suddenly erupted, radiating the aura of a master debater, and let out a hearty laugh: "You've figured it out again"
Facing Lin Xian, he was even more ruthless: "Are you fawning over Jiang Qingyang like this Does he know Will he pat your head and give you a bone to eat"
Of course I can know.
Despite Gao Zhe's insults, Lin Xian remained composed and looked directly at him, saying clearly: “Because when the Four Great Demonic Lords attacked Jiang Wang, I was there, seeing everything clearly! I, Lin Xian, started practicing swordsmanship at the age of three, became the champion of my peers at fifteen, and climbed the Guanhe Stage at seventeen to face heroes from all over the world. Although I didn't win, I think no one would underestimate me. Gao Zhe, ask yourself honestly, could you withstand a single strike from me Today, you insult me based on what On the strength of Qi State On the prestige of the Gao family in Jinghai Wait until you can stand tall and rely on your own strength like Jiang Wang before questioning his achievements!”
“You said…” Even the usually stoic Xidu remained silent for a moment, then spoke, “Were you present when Jiang Wang single-handedly faced off against the four Great Demons”
“The battlefield was in the chaotic valley of Duanhunxia. At that time, I hid in the Xiantian Lilun Formation and witnessed the battle with my own eyes!”
>
Lin Xian stated resolutely, "The evil of all evils is the Divine Skill of Retribution, the Divine Skill of Shared Suffering for those who are skinned, the Divine Skill of Unmasking for those who reveal their faces, and the extreme demonic power of the Beheaded Devil's Hungry Ghost Body - none of them are not incredibly powerful. In that battle, Jiang Wang's display of strength completely shattered my imagination of the Inner Palace Realm, I have searched through all the history books and haven't found such a person! In my life, I, Lin Xian, have never admitted defeat to anyone, but towards Jiang Qingyang, I am convinced, I can only look up in admiration!"
The entire audience was silent.
Even Gao Zhe had to cool down. He had to carefully weigh himself, as Chong Xuan Sheng had said.
Only now do people finally understand why someone as strong and resilient as Lin Xian could say, "I am willing to be a dog under Jiang Qingyang's command."
If they could witness the legend firsthand, they would probably be even more fanatical than Lin Xian.
"I think I know who Jiang Wang is," Xi Du said softly.
This sentence is a response to Gaozhe's previous question. She had always known who Jiang Wang was, but she still had some doubts about his terrifying record, after all, there were many rumors in the world. Until now, when Lin Xian confirmed it, she truly "knew who Jiang Wang was."

"If it's Jiang Wang coming…" Tian Chang smiled, “He deserves a general position, I have no objections.”
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Wen Lianmu shrugged: "In the same boat, who can compare to Jiang Qingyang"
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Yiwu with some guilty conscience, but Wang Yiwu remained expressionless.
Then Lei Zhanqian said, "Let's not waste any more time. There's one camp left, and I'll take charge of it. Tian Chang, Wen Lianmu, Gao Zhe…"
His gaze swept over them one by one: "If you don't submit, then come at me together!"
The atmosphere inside the military tent instantly became heated.
While Chongxuan sat leaning back with a languid air, he smirked with some pride.
Speaking of which, the two people with the most arrogant personalities in the account today were both personally defeated by Jiang Wang. I imagine that for them, it is one of the deepest memories of their lives—
Wang Yiwu, with an indifferent look in his eyes, tacitly agreed that Jiang Wang was unparalleled within their circle.
Lei Zhanyin, with the might of three against one, occupied Camp Gan. He tacitly permitted Jiang Wang to be absent without arriving, and took possession of a camp all by himself., can he" Elder Two chuckled, his aged face should have been kind, but because only the whites of his eyes remained, it looked very eerie: "The Holy Maiden's cultivation has progressed significantly....
