e from the officialdom of Biwu County.Yang Luo personally led the troops, which was enough to show how much he valued it.But to the Equal King, Yangluo was insignificant. In his opinion, the strongest...At this time, Jiang (someone's name) was completely unaware that the new secret arts he had learned were all "stolen goods."
Bearing in mind the kindness of the old monk, who had suffered much, I learned a bit about the two secret arts. Then, after pondering them along the way, I returned to Qi State on my own.
Within the Eastern Lands' domain, he naturally no longer needed to conceal his tracks. He could practice his secret arts and soar freely without regard for whose territory he crossed or whose authority he might offend—this was the status of the State of Qi in the Eastern Lands, and it was the dignity he had earned after so many years of struggle within Qi.

Previously, in a letter from Chong Xuan Sheng, he mentioned a major event.
It is said that the Ministry of War has officially submitted a petition, requesting an expedition to conquer Xia.
This battle summons, personally penned by the Grand Marshal of the Nation, has a full five generals and nine army commanders signing their names.
...And the emperor himself... held the brush, personally approved it, and has already pressed the imperial seal!
That is to say, when the war between Jing and Mu reached its peak intensity, the war beast of Qi state had already bared its fangs. Its troops marched directly towards Xia state, aiming to accomplish the grand ambition that remained unfinished during the previous struggle for dominance between Qi and Xia!
Just as in the aftermath of the Warring States period when Qi and Xia fought for hegemony, Jing Guo set up the Yitian Observatory in Xia, which was seen as a symbol of the war's end.
Since the victory of Qitian Jiao over Xing Yueyuan in the battle, Jing Guo established the Star Moon Covenant and began to dismantle the Yitianguan...
Everyone knew this battle was coming sooner or later.
This time, the attack on Xia by Fa Xia and the previous spring army's raid on Jianfeng Mountain are very different.
The biggest difference, of course, lies in the purpose.
The last time was when the Qi prince moved mountains and rivers, aiming to teach Xia a lesson and shatter the entire game board. He wanted to force out the hidden Equal Nation, diverting internal conflicts within Qi.
Of course, looking back now, that battle can also be seen as a rehearsal for this current one, almost like a training exercise to curb the ambition of the Xia Kingdom.
>
This time, the emperor of Qi wasn't just satisfied with giving Xia a lesson.
The victory in the War of States established Qi as a hegemon, and for the Duke Huan of Qi it was his greatest military achievement. It allowed him to be enshrined alongside the founding King Xiang of Qi (Qi Taizu) and Duke Mu of Qi (Qi Wudi) in the ancestral temple.
But failing to completely swallow Xia Guo in one fell swoop, it ultimately became a flaw in his otherwise perfect plan, leaving an indelible regret in his heart.
>
At that time, the State of Jing was powerful. Even Jiang Shu had to avoid its edge.
After more than 30 years of amassing national strength, it has firmly established its position as the hegemon.

Looking forward, they completely subdued the nine kingdoms of the Rising Sun who claimed to inherit the old Dayang Empire, either destroying them or making them pay tribute. They became the undisputed rulers of the East, with no rivals.
Looking outward, they firmly established themselves in the nearby islands and became the absolute main force of the human race on the battlefield of the Mist Realm, forcing the Dailing Lou to struggle for survival. Even when a new alliance was formed, the Sea Guardian Alliance, they had to cede power to the Qi Nation. A sea honor list was erected, with all the glory bestowed upon the prodigies of the Qi Nation.
Within, eliminate hidden dangers, suppress contradictions from all parties, the Son of Heaven with one hand controls both civil and military affairs, holding eight scepters in his palm.
Looking at the world, when it came to teaching lessons to the Xia Kingdom, he single-handedly conquered Jianfeng Mountain. When it came to participating in the gathering by the Yellow River, he seized victory, becoming the leader of the Yellow River in Daoli's year 3919.

After the Wan Yao Gate, Qi Jiu's elite soldiers were renowned throughout the nations.
Surrounding the fame of Jiang Wang, the prodigy of Qi Tian, there was also a confrontation between Qi Jing hidden beneath the water. In the end, the Daozhuang Guo swallowed the bitter fruit itself, while San Xinggong cleared its name among the prodigies of Qi Tian.
In the Starmoon Plain, he even won against Qi Jingtian's pride battle!
Such a Qi state... naturally has the qualifications to give birth to even greater ambition.
The Yitian Guan is the strategic-level weaponry of the Taoist sect. It can deploy high-end forces at the fastest speed, and even draw upon the power of the three sacred lands of the Taoist sect. When the Yitian Guan was built within the borders of Xia State, Qi State immediately retreated its troops!
Now Jing Guo has abolished the Yitian Observatory, which is completely abandoning its interests in Xia Guo to avoid a two-front war with Qi Guo and Mu Guo.

Because the War of the Stars and Moon, they have already seen the power and determination of the Qi nation. Even if the strongest scene in the world must be given to the current situation of the world enough seriousness.
All the celestial sons were summoned to adjust the situation on the grasslands, helping the pastoral state seize Liyuan City. This was all for today.

To conquer Sheng Kingdom, the first strategic objective is to defeat Jing Kingdom and spread the glory of Emperor Cangtu beyond the grasslands. The secondary strategic objective is to sever the connection between Dao脈's most loyal vassal state, effectively breaking their sword and opening the southern gate for advance.
They were fed up with year after year of accompanying the Shengguo's bloodshed, their hooves forever unable to leave the grasslands!
Qi Guo should take advantage of the opportunity when Jing Mu was preoccupied with the war and expand its territory to the south, rebuilding its military prestige.

Once this strategic concept was realized, the State of Qi immediately became a formidable power spanning both southeast domains, with immeasurable future potential.
These are all out in the open, no one can hide anything from anyone.
The war initiated by Qi Jing and Shang Xiang at Xingyue Plain, under the guise of a test of strength, was essentially a strategic probing of each other's capabilities.
Qi State forced Jing State to give up Xia State on the condition that they abandon their alliance with Mu State.
>Jing Guo had the arrogance of being the strongest nation in the world, and they were not lacking in confidence to fight on two fronts. To abandon Xia Guo, they had to test Qi Guo's strength, so the Battle of Xingyue Plain took place.
From Qitian's perspective, this test was also what he wanted. If Jing Guo remained powerful and ambitious, looking down upon all other countries, he would have to temporarily give up his ambitions for Xia Guo.
If Jing Guo were to show itself as outwardly strong but internally weak, it would already be like a giant tree with its core rotted. In that case, he would have no choice but to join forces with Emperor Mu and first divide the vast and fertile land of Zhongyu.
Although the Star Moon Original War ended in defeat for Jingguo, Jingtianjiao's talents still shone brightly, demonstrating that there was no shortage of promising individuals.
Therefore, it was only natural that the State of Qi would attack the State of Xia after the State of Jing abandoned its claims to Xia.
The tacit understanding between the two sides had been reached even before the war began.
Even so, to prevent the Jing Guo from breaking their agreement, Qi Guo repeatedly postponed the war until the outbreak of the Jing Mu War.
This time, the campaign against Xia was aimed at annihilating the Xia kingdom and establishing a firm foothold in the Southern region.
The scale is far beyond what it used to be, incomparable to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
To destroy a great nation, it cannot be done overnight. It must be a gradual process.
The manpower and material resources required are immeasurable.
After the Battle of Xingyueyuan, the State of Qi had already begun to secretly prepare. At the most intense stage of the Jingmu War, they officially mobilized the entire nation!
At this time, Jing Guo could no longer extricate himself.
The entire Eastern Region and even the nearby islands posed no threat.
>
Qi State only needs to deal with Xia State.
This is such an important battle, speaking broadly, it concerns the future national fortunes of Qi for a hundred years! Speaking narrowly, it also concerns the changing political landscape within Qi.
Back then, during the great summer war for supremacy, how many families rose and fell How many people succeeded and how many failed
Things past and present should be known to those who come after.
It is characterized by the enthusiastic participation of major aristocratic families, even deviating from the previous principle that wars should not involve too many direct heirs...
Lord Li Fengyao and Lord Li Longchuan of the Cui Cheng Hou Mansion.

The family members of Duke Shao Fang were Bao Bo Zhao and Bao Zhong Qing.
... even to the extent that the residences of Bo Wang Hou, Chong Xuan Sheng and Chong Xuan Zun...
All confirmed for battle!
From the aristocratic families to commoners, from princes and ministers to foot soldiers, all Qi people heard of the war and none were afraid!
This is a banner raised by the Qi people through one victory after another since King Qi ascended the throne.

The Taikangqi of Ziwei, which points to the direction where Qiren's blade is headed.
Whoever stands in my way will be broken.
The reason Zhòng Xuán eagerly awaits Jiang Wang's return is because of the importance of this war.
And Jiang Wang's reason for traveling east all the way, asking questions with his sword along the way, and even at this crucial moment, he is frantically improving himself, challenging each top-level outer sect cultivator of the world.
...because he knew that his direct competition with Chongxuan was already unavoidable....

From the moment he first came to Qi, he knew that Chong Xuan's greatest opponent was right before him.
He has to help Chong Xuan Sheng!
"Little one!"
>
As Jiang Wang soared through the air, he suddenly heard a shout.
He looked down from the clouds and saw only a pavilion standing on the mountaintop, with a table of wine and meat inside.
A tall and imposing man with a broad face was sitting at the table, drinking and eating meat, looking quite boisterous.
Jiang Wang naturally recognized him. He was Zheng Guo's first master, the mysterious expert who had helped him during the pursuit by powerful assassins in Pingdeng Kingdom!
This man has a great reputation and is considered the best hero in the world. He comes from the royal family of Zheng State, but he does not crave power or official positions. He relies on his own abilities to achieve greatness as a true gentleman. He is known for his chivalry and courage, often helping the weak and fighting against the strong. He is renowned as the most chivalrous hero in the world.
At that time, a slap brought clarity to the ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains. Jiang Wang still remembers it vividly today.
A life-saving grace, of course, I cannot forget.
Jiang Wang put away his thoughts and enthusiastically replied, "Greetings, Senior Gu!"
Gu Shiyi raised his eyes to look at him and beckoned him over, "Come down for a drink!"
This is a desolate mountain within the territory of Zhao State. There are no villages in front and no shops behind. Why would someone like Master Shi Yi be drinking alcohol in this kind of place
With such a question in mind, Jiang Wangfei leaped down.
"Having bowed respectfully, he said: 'Since our last parting, I have often thought of your noble bearing. To unexpectedly meet you here today is truly a delight!'"
Gu Shiyi wore a black and gold embroidered robe that fluttered in the wind, sitting upright like a majestic general. With a single wave of his hand, he declared, "There's no need to discuss these trivial matters any further!"
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This person's way of speaking is too straightforward.
Of course, he could disregard his master's teachings without any reservation.
Jiang Wang smiled wryly and asked, "Senior Gu, why are you here"
Gu Shiyi said, "I was drinking with someone here, but when he left, I was still not satisfied. If you don't mind the soup and roasted meat being cold, please have a few jars with me!"
Jiang Wang glanced at the table and saw that it was a mess, with plates and bowls scattered everywhere.
Across from Gu Shiyi's seat, there was a set of used tableware, with gnawed clean bones piled up and spilled wine scattered about. Yet, the person was gone, and the seat had grown cold.
The wine was fragrant, with several jars still sealed with mud, the aroma gushing out relentlessly.
“It’s only proper to have a few drinks with your seniors.” Jiang Wang sat down beside Gu Shiyi, picked up a jar of wine, knocked off the seal, took a clean porcelain bowl, and poured himself a full bowl.
“I raise three cups to my seniors first, in gratitude for your help last time!”
He raised his wine cup and was about to drink it all in one gulp.
>
But Gu Shiyi reached out a hand and stopped him.
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This person had been drinking here for who knows how long. Their body reeked of alcohol, as if it were thick and heavy in the air.
Even a worldly sage like him had a slight intoxication in his eyes.
He looked at Jiang Wang with a clear attitude: "Someone said, lend a hand, no need to thank. If you're thanking me, don't drink this wine. If you want to have fun with me, then you are allowed to drink!"
>
"Then I won't say more, just remember it in my heart!" Jiang Wang said. "But Jiang Wang has urgent business to return home, so accompanying the senior for a few drinks is no problem, but to drink to our heart's content...I'm afraid this time isn't possible."
Gu Shiyi let go of his hand, looking at him with a slightly tipsy smile: "It's so hard to get you to have a drink. You don't seem very respectful to me!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang sat upright, showing his pride, but his tone was very humble: "In this worldly and turbid world, it is truly difficult for one to be free. I hope the senior will understand. If I rashly agree, afterward, seeing the senior would take four or five days to fully enjoy ourselves, and then I would try every means to find excuses to leave, that would be a disrespect to the senior."
“Haha!” Gu Shiyi burst into laughter. “What a sincere and lovely little one! You are quite a character!”
Despite looking only in his forties, Gu Shiyi is actually over two hundred years old. When called "little one" by Jiang Wang, he doesn't seem to mind at all.
He simply picked up his bowl and said, "I toast to my seniors!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
They clinked their wine cups and drank each other's toasts.
Jiang Wang only felt a searing heat flow from his throat to his chest, such strong liquor!
No wonder even someone as accomplished as Gu Shiyi got a little tipsy.
After the hot air scorched its way through my lungs, all that was left was a burning sensation mixed with a feeling of comfort.
>
"Again" Gu Shiyi's eyes held a strange emotion.
Jiang Wang didn't say a word, picked up another jar of wine, poured a full cup for Gu Shiyi first, then poured a full cup for himself.
And so, they clinked glasses again and drank.
After downing this bowl, the air that had previously sunk in surged up again. The collision of the two waves of alcohol resulted in an explosive feeling of intoxication all over my body!
"Good! What a refreshing fellow!" Gu Shiyi casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, picked up the wine jar himself, and was about to pour some for Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang hurriedly stopped him: "Senior, how could this be"
"What's there to be so particular about" Gu Shiyi brushed his hand aside, readily pouring two full cups. "Don't call me senior all the time. At the wine table, there are no superiors or inferiors. Just call me Brother Gu!"
The wine is good and very intoxicating.
But what about Brother Gu, Gu Shiyi dares to listen. How dare Jiang Wang call
"I couldn't help but frown and said: 'You are venerable and respected, how could I be so disrespectful Senior, please don't dwell on the matter of address. Just call me whatever feels natural.'"
“Stop talking nonsense.” Gu Shiyi waved his hand impatiently and said, “Well then, since someone is a few years older than you, you should call me Brother Gu, and I’ll call you Brother Jiang!”
To be over a hundred years old, is that called "a few years" in terms of age
“Ah”
While Jiang Wang was still stunned, Gu Shiyi had already raised his bowl and said, "Jiang little brother, drink!"
Thus, we clinked our glasses and finished the drink in one go.
This wine is a mouthful, followed by another. The aroma keeps layering, and the feeling of intoxication lingers. It makes you feel more invigorated with each sip, wanting to drink even more.
After a few bowls, Jiang Wang was already three parts drunk and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, what kind of wine is this"
Gu Shiyi squinted at him: "What is your family name"
The liquor seemed to hit every organ, every nerve in the body, every thought in my mind.
In a haze, Jiang Wang blurted out: "Ge Ge!"

Emboldened by the alcohol, when he shouted "Big Brother Gu," he suddenly felt much more at ease: "This wine is really strong! I wonder what it's called"
Gu Shiyi slowly filled his cup with wine this time, he didn't clink glasses with Jiang Wang.
He simply said, "Change and hardship."
"The vicissitudes of the sea, the vicissitudes of life are all vicissitudes!"

He drained his bowl in one gulp.
His eyes held an expression that was beyond words.
Such a royal descendant, renowned in his youth, chose to abandon his throne and wander the world. He defied the Dragon Court and became a legend across nations, a figure whose fame has lasted for over two hundred years.
His experience and story are legendary.
