Zhang Weiyǔ asked Chong Xuan Sheng, "Is it necessary to use the Chongxuan family as a guarantor for Jiang Wang"

This conveys both his confidence in reaping benefits from Qingyang Town, and a warning to Chongxuan Sheng. If Jiang Wang is involved in treason, should Chongxuan's family be implicated

This is a knock.

Meanwhile, Chongxuan decisively stated that he and Jiang Wang were in it together. If Jiang Wang was involved in treason, he would be implicated as well.

At this time, Zhang Weiyue had to take the initiative to cut them off.

To cast Jiang Wang into the abyss, and to simultaneously crush Chong Xuan together, the price one would have to pay is vastly different.

It can be said that Jiang Wang betrayed his country, but it cannot be said that Chong Xuan betrayed his country.

Chen Fu often said a phrase: no matter where you are or what you do, you must always know the measure.

Zhang Weiyu kept this sentence firmly in his heart.

His goal was very clear: to thoroughly defeat Jiang Wang and vie for the position of Northern Precinct Prefect. To this end, he did not hesitate to confront Chong Xuan Sheng.

But what about Chong Xuan, that wasn't his objective.

He was very aware of the gulf between him and noble sons like Chong Xuan Sheng. That gap might take generations to bridge. Just like the storms that had been heaped upon Jiang Wang, this newly-risen imperial figure, something unimaginable for figures like Chong Xuan Sheng or Li Longchuan.

If Chong Xuan wants to follow, then let him follow.

He didn't intend to do anything else, and he wasn't afraid of being followed.

The fruit of victory has ripened, he just goes to pick it.

Here, Chong Xuan and Zhang Weiyu talk to each other back and forth, seeming very compatible. Between them, there seems to be endless things to say. Although listening closely reveals nothing but nonsense, it's just a more polite version of a scolding match.

Over there, the fourth-rank Green Horse brand Ma Xiong heard his eyelids twitch, but he remained expressionless and silent.

Here is the translation:

Last year when Jiang Wang hung up his blue card, he had already emerged as a prodigy after defeating Wang Yi in the same competition. At that time, he was willing to give some leeway because he saw the person's potential. But he never expected that in such a short period of time, Jiang Wang would grow to this level.

It far exceeded his imagination, refreshing his understanding of a peerless genius.

It's not just about his personal strength and reputation, the political resources he mobilized were also terrifying. Linzi almost became a hurricane because of him!

Now that two deities are fighting, he can't afford to offend either of them.

Might as well just treat myself like a piece of furniture, wishing I could even stop breathing.

Three core characters, two are arguing, one is pretending to be ignorant.

The investigation team set off for Qingyang Town in this eerie atmosphere.

Dugong Xia has been very uneasy these two days.

The merchant caravan from Desheng Bank has been stopped for two days.

As one of the best-performing trading firms in Qi State's burgeoning merchant community, De Sheng Trading House, especially under Xuan Sheng's leadership, had successfully established trade routes to the nearby islands. Every day a De Sheng caravan was delayed represented a significant loss for them.

While Fan Qingqing specifically went out once to use the Taixu Corner Building in Tianfu City, she was also stopped by someone who was neither soft nor hard.

They then understood that Qingyang Town had been sealed off.

What made Dugu Xiaonuo uneasy wasn't Qianyanzhen, but the meaning behind this incident - Jiang Wang might really be in trouble.

Although there were some clamoring voices earlier, she always believed that Jiang Wang could solve all the problems, and this sudden storm would eventually pass.

She also strictly controlled the voices within Qingyang Town.

At least in Qingyang Town, she did not allow anyone to disrespect Jiang Wang.

But she would think, she always would think...

If Jiang Wang really had an accident, what would we do

She has no answer.

As soon as I think about this problem, it's like the sky is falling.

"Little one," Fan Qingqing said, eyeing her with a scrutinizing gaze in the town hall. "You've been with Lord Jiang the longest. Tell your elder sister the truth, has he made contact with the Pingdeng Nation This concerns our lives and fortunes, the situation is dire, you must think this through carefully."

"Huh" Dugu Xiaocong came back to her senses from her confusion, then paused for a moment before understanding the question. She shook her head. "My lord spends almost all his time cultivating. He wouldn't have time to engage with those messy organizations and schemes."

Her frightened and worried expression was truly pitiful.

Fan Qingqing had been teaching her for some time, and the two of them were now practically master and disciple. Dugu Xiao also served diligently and their relationship was naturally somewhat close.

He couldn't help but sigh: "I guess I was thinking about it the wrong way. Even if he did have ties with the Equal Nation, how would he let you know"

“As for things I’m entitled to know, my master will surely let me know.” Dugu bowed her head and said softly, “Sister Fan, please don’t speak like that. It wouldn’t be good if someone heard you. My master has no relation whatsoever with the Pingdang nation.”

"Oh." Fan Qingqing shook her head. "Silly girl."

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

She sighed, "You haven't realized the severity of the situation. The fact that his fiefdoms have been sealed off means he has already lost the trust of Qi's upper echelons. Such meteoric rises often end in a fall, because too many eyes are watching them. Any flaw will be magnified, and he lacks the depth to withstand it. This time... things look grim."

The content within the triple angle brackets (" > ") is:

She paused, her voice softening. "When all this is over," she said, "would you be willing to go with me"

Dugu looked up at Fan Qingqing, a little surprised: "Where are you going"

Fan Qingqing smiled and patted her head: "We are extraordinary cultivators, where can't we go You have been accustomed to being a maidservant, only knowing how to be a maidservant! Sister will take you to enjoy life, let you know what it means to live the life of an extraordinary cultivator."

"I don't want to leave." Dugu Xiao bit her lip and said, "My master let me take care of this place, so I'm going to guard it well."

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

"Your grandfather can't even protect himself." Fan Qingqing looked around and sighed, "When this place becomes someone else's territory, you won't be able to stay here."

During this period, she has also poured a lot of heart and soul into Qingyang Town. Talking about these things inevitably brings some feelings of nostalgia.

"Oh no, Lord Dugu!"

At that moment, a guard rushed in, looking panicked. "A group of people just arrived, claiming to search the town! They even brought elite soldiers with them!"

Dugu Xiao and Fan Qingqing looked at each other, and Fan Qingqing shook her head slightly.

>

"There's no need to panic, take me there." Dugu Xiao said in a low voice, "This is the fief of Master Jiang Wang, the world's number one internal expert. Who would dare to search here"

"Ha! What big words!"

A voice crashed into the town hall with force.

Following closely behind came a sturdy man in official robes: "I am Zhang Weiyu, Minister of Personnel. I have been ordered to investigate Qingyang Town! From now on, everyone is forbidden to move, speak, or whisper. Any denial will be considered an attempt to destroy evidence and collude, and you will be executed on the spot!"

The air grew thick with menace as these words were spoken, silencing the entire room.

All the town guards, clerks, and even Zhang Hai, a third-ranked superhuman warrior from Qingyang Town, who had come rushing from all corners of the hall, were left standing halfway, too afraid to move forward.

And Qingyang Town's Xiuwei, the highest-ranked and most worldly experienced Fan Qingqing, remained silent, maintaining a completely cooperative posture.

At this time.

Only Dugu Xiaobu retreated and instead advanced, taking a step forward to stand before Zhang Weiyue.

What evidence do you have to prove what you're saying

Under the pressure of his breath, her heart nearly exploded. But she gritted her teeth and said, “If you have an order, let me see it. If you have a decree, let me verify it! Otherwise, you are trespassing on private grounds, and I will stand against you, a three-rank Jingu warrior, Qingyangzi Jiang Wang, to the death!”

Her tone was so harsh that Zhang Hai, who had been standing outside the town hall door, almost recalled the young man who had been the first to charge out of town and face the Jiacheng army!

Zhang Weiyu looked at the thin and frail girl before him with surprise in his eyes.

He is but a small fry, someone he could crush with a single finger. And today, he comes here by imperial decree, his power overwhelming. Is he trying to stop a chariot with his armsr how much effort is put in.Perhaps as what Xiong Zidu said when he was young, reading history: “The younger generation resembles the founder, the grandson generation resembles the founder, and all ge...
