Chapter Forty-Nine: I Observe the Heroes of the World

wing quietly.Here is the translation:Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!There is no breathing, no need to breathe. There is no thinking, everything is empty.The most nat..."It's just an analysis of one possibility. Of the competitors you mentioned, I don't particularly want to eliminate anyone." Jiang Wang laughed wryly. "Do I look like someone who enjoys killing"

"He looks quite pretty and gentle... but you still say you don't like to cause trouble!" Left Guangxu thought to himself.

He looked at Big Brother Jiang timidly and persuaded in a soft voice: “These people all have extraordinary backgrounds, even Chu Yu relies on the military. No matter who we kill, it will be very difficult for us to get away with it.”

"Can't even the Duke of Huai's mansion be settled" Jiang Wang asked.

"..." As Elder Jiang spoke, he became increasingly serious. Zuo Guangshu felt a bit panicked and his suppressed milk-like voice came out: "That person's background isn't bad either..."

"What if nobody found out What if no one knew we did it By the time the Shanhai Realm ends, they wouldn't be able to come into the Shanhai Realm to investigate, would they" Jiang Wang asked repeatedly.

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

It's still spring, I don't know why it's already so hot.

Perhaps it's just too stuffy in the train carriage.

Zuo Guangshu wiped his sweat and said, "Wangge, everyone participated in the Shanhai Realm to seek the secrets left by Empress Huang Wei. You have to kill someone for fun"

Jiang Wang glanced at him: "This is called exploring the rules. I need to know what we are capable of, so that when we truly face a choice, we don't waste time. At that point, what might be wasted is more than just time... Do you understand"

Left Guangxu nodded, seeming to understand but not quite.

Though he claimed to be diligent and had endured hardships in places like the Sea of Souls Purgatory, he had never truly faced life or death.

Because this generation of the Left clan's direct line, there was only him left.

Whether it was his grandfather, Duke Huan of Huai, or his mother, Princess Yu Yun, they would not allow him to go into danger.

Like how Zuo Guanglie once went alone to the desolate borderlands for trials, such a thing wouldn't happen to Zuo Guangshu.

He actually didn't need to compete for resources, so he had no idea what kind of things could happen between people when it came to cultivating resources...

While Jiang Wang knew this deeply.

Although everyone who participated in the Shan Hai Realm this time seemed to have everything they needed, who could say with certainty that they didn't need anything left behind by Huang Wei Who could guarantee they wouldn't fight tooth and nail for the top spot

Not to mention the possibility of truly dying in battle, even the possibility of having three-tenths of their soul origin chipped away, Jiang Wang wanted to obliterate it.

Once he entered the Shan Hai Realm, he would truly view anyone except Guang Xu as his rival.

Perhaps Qu Shunhua could be an exception.

Qiu Shunhua's helpers are no good.

Speaking of which, the carriage had already returned to the Marquis of Huai's Mansion.

Jiang Wang handed the Nine Chapters Jade Bi to Zuo Guangshu: "Put this away first."

The two got out of the carriage and walked side by side.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Walking in the Guogong Mansion, Jiang Wang patted Zuo Guangshu's shoulder: "I came here to help you win what you want. To that end, we need to clear all obstacles. Killing is sometimes a necessary measure, but my goal is not to kill. In principle, I won't take the initiative to strike unless someone wants to kill you or me. You can rest assured about this."

Zuo Guangshu obediently nodded: "Mmm!"

“Let's talk about the opponents again.” Jiang Wang said as she walked, “Who did they bring to help It can’t be that everyone knows me, but I'm clueless about them, right”

>

Reassured by Jiang Wang's promise, Zuo Guangshu felt much better. He chuckled and said, "Let's start with the one that interests you the most."

“Oh”

"Xiang Bei's helper was Tai Yin from the Xia Kingdom's Taishi clan."

“Who was the one who got their head smashed in on the Viewing River Platform by Chongxuan”

Left Guangshu nodded vigorously.

Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow.

Well, Left Guangshu is right, this is indeed someone he would be interested in.

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

But...

It seems like there's a possibility of wanting to kill someone.

Will the Tianjiao (celestial pride) of Qi State let go of the Tianjiao of Xia State

Or, would the summer nation's prodigy believe that the Qi nation's prodigy would let the summer nation's prodigy go

Two peerless prodigies from hostile nations, outside the borders of their respective countries, in places like the Shan Hai Realm where the laws of this world don't apply and it's easy to get away with destroying evidence...

This is almost an unsolvable problem.

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

Of course, in the Shan Hai Jing, people "almost" never die. This is probably good news for Tai Yin.

And the not-so-good news is—perhaps Tai Yin thinks so too.

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

After all, although Jiang Wang is very famous, he has only recently entered the outer courtyard.

He came from a renowned family and was a prodigy himself. Moreover, he had spent more time honing his skills in the Outer Courtyard. Before they actually fought, how could he possibly feel inferior

Watching Brother Jiang become somewhat strange in expression.

Zuo Guangshu also instantly realized the problem—because of the conflict between Qi Xia and the two countries, Jiang Wang's words "the purpose is not to kill" just now seemed unreliable!

>

"If you insist on killing Tai Yin, it's best to spare Xiangbei..." It took him a long time to choke out those words.

Perhaps onlookers would feel that Jiang Wang is currently evenly matched with Tai Yin, and the outcome of their confrontation remains uncertain.

But in Zuo Guangshu's heart, with Jiang Wang's elder brother's current strength, that Tai Yin had no chance at all. The only problem was probably that once a conflict arose, whether the rules of the Shan Hai Realm could protect Tai Yin's life.

As for Xiangbei, the gap between him and Jiang Wang was already apparent at Huangliangtai.

“Oh” Jiang Wang knew that his image as a hothead in this subordinate’s mind was probably impossible to change. He might as well give up, and instead asked, “If it were possible to completely erase all traces, wouldn’t you want to kill Xiang Bei”

"His life and death have nothing to do with me," Zu Guangshu shook his head, saying seriously: "I just don't want you to take risks. It's fine if you killed Tai Yin, but if you kill Xiang Bei and get caught, my grandfather would have a hard time saving you."

“Speaking of which, isn’t this matter intentionally targeting you” Jiang Wang could certainly sense Zuo Guangshu's concern, but she frowned and said, “I remember you told me before that during the Huang He Hui quota competition, he seemed to be very unkind to you.”

It was indeed intentional targeting against me.

"Because of what"

Jiang Wang didn't really understand.

Judging from Xiang Bei's various actions, while he might be a bit arrogant, he doesn't seem like someone who enjoys relentlessly pursuing things or pushing boundaries. He's definitely not completely brainless either.

Having already beaten Zuo Guangsu for a spot at the Yellow River Summit, is there still a need to make a detour and step on him again

To offend the Duke of Huai's family like this, where could there be any benefit

At this time, the two of them had already walked side by side into Zu Guangshu's courtyard and sat down in the pavilion.

Left Guangshu remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "Because of the Battle of Hegu."

"In that battle, the commander of the Chu army was Zhenjun Xianglongxiang. And my older brother Zuo Guanglie held the position of Chijie, serving under Xianglongxiang's command."

"My father died in the War Between Qin and Chu. My older brother is a world-renowned prodigy, and he is the hope of restoring our Left Clan's glory. Regardless of who becomes the commander, both morally and logically, they should not put my brother in danger. Not to mention that the Xiang clan has been friendly with our Left clan for many years. But Xiang Longxiang just sent my brother to the most dangerous place..."

Zuo Guangshu's eyes drooped slightly: "Hegu suffered a crushing defeat, and Xiang Longxiang is hard to shirk responsibility. Because he died on the battlefield, the emperor did not pursue the Xiang family. But some things, if the emperor does not pursue, will not happen... The death of a true monarch means something to the Xiang family, I don't need to say it, you understand."

"The place where the Xiang family used to sit is now off-limits. The things they used to possess are now unattainable. The advantages they once enjoyed are now out of reach. Too much power is pulling them..."

“Some people in the Xiang family believe that my grandfather was suppressing them, and therefore harbor resentment against my Zuo family.”

“Did the Duke of Huai ever do such a thing” Jiang Wang asked.

“Of course not! As a member of the Zou family, I am well aware of the risks when going to war. Xiang Longxiang uses his soldiers and generals, whoever dies, he is responsible for none. All Xiang Family bears now is the responsibility of Xiang Longxiang's defeat. My grandfather already stated it, my elder brother died in battle, blaming no one, that's how war is, every soldier has parents and family, no one can die without consequence, nor anyone should be exempt from death.”

Left Guangshu paused here and said, “My grandfather did not suppress the Xiang family, but he also did not speak up for them.”

Even though Duke Huan of Huai could understand the brutality of war, he couldn't possibly feel no grief over his eldest grandson's death in battle.

...Especially with the elite strength of the Red Cavalry and Zuo Guanglie's peerless bearing, even in the disastrous situation at Hegu Valley, they should have been able to protect their lives...

But Ke Xianglong let him go to his death.

In this situation, it is truly remarkable for the left family to still help the right family.

To not suppress the items of a family, is the capacity of a prince of Chu Huai.

Not helping a struggling family, yet he is a grandfather's sorrow.

"But some things, whether you did them or not, only you know. " Jiang Wang said with feeling, "If others think you did it, no explanation will be useful. Once a person has a fixed opinion, no one can persuade him."

Anyone who has ever been wrongfully accused should know the feeling of having no one to turn to.

Even though you haven't done anything, others are saying it with conviction.

Repeat a lie enough times, and people will hear it on one side and believe it on the other.

As the saying goes, "a multitude of voices can wear down even gold, and a persistent onslaught can destroy a bone." This is exactly what it means.

If Jiang Wang didn't believe in Zuo Guangshu and hadn't personally interacted with the Marquis of Huai, he would probably also think that the Zuo family was indeed suppressing the Xiang family because of Zuo Guanglie's death.

because this is too "reasonable".

Using troops to scheme and create danger, leading to the death of a peerless genius like Zuo Guanglie, how could the Zuo clan not hate the Xiang family to their core

The Duke of Huai held immense power. Since he had the strength to "seek revenge", why wouldn't he act swiftly

People can readily analyze everything and arrive at conclusions that seem "logical" on the surface, but they fail to consider Duke Huan of Cai's true character and capabilities.

>

Because most people don't have that kind of magnanimity.

People will not believe they can't do something, nor will they believe they haven't had it.

Over time, even the members of Xiang's family came to believe it.

Otherwise, if their true monarchs died on the battlefield, loyal to the nation. Even if they were guilty, it would be atonement. Why are so many hands in the court reaching out to drag them into the mire

Couldn't this be someone manipulating things behind the scenes

Of course, perhaps Prince Huai himself doesn't care about these voices.

But the Xiang family couldn't possibly ignore it, and Xiang Bei couldn't possibly ignore it.

This is the crux of his conflict with Zuo Guangxu.

>

Zuo Guangshuo said: "In fact, although Xiang Bei was arrogant, he wasn't so overbearing before."

But now, maintaining the facade of the Xiang family's power with this appearance.

After all, when Xianglongxiang died in battle, he specifically left his famous "Gai Shi" halberd to him, making him the heir of the Xiang family.

If he cannot display the demeanor of overwhelming his peers, he is not worthy of inspiring fear of the Xiang family's future when their True Monarch falls.

I don't think he really believes my grandfather is suppressing their family. He just isn't a legitimate heir. He only became the successor by relying on the prestige of his father, Xiang Longxiang. He has to consider the wishes of the Xiang clan.

Jiang Wang's eyes widened in surprise,

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

Zuo Guangshu's shyness. Timid and youthful, often makes him unconsciously treat Zuo Guangshu as a child.

But in fact, this boy is already sixteen.

... was raised in the most prestigious aristocratic family of the Chu Kingdom and received the best education from a young age.

After Zuo Guang's death in battle, he was raised to be the heir of the family.

He can be very insightful when looking at problems.

Jiang Wang looked at him, hoping this younger brother could say something more.

"I don't hate him. But I won't forgive him either," said Zuo Guangshu in a flat tone.

Right now, I am inferior to him, and deserve this humiliation. When I surpass him, I will also step on him once when I pass by him, relying on my own strength.

However, I didn't actually have the thought of killing him.

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

His life and death have nothing to do with me, his future depends on his own destiny.

The ties between the Zuo family and the Xiang family had already been severed in Hegu Valley.

"I have no relationship with him, let alone any feelings."

"That's right!" Jiang Wang nodded, satisfied. Then he said, "Tell me about the others. This trip to Shan Hai Jing, Tai Yin and Xiang Bei didn't have much to worry about."

Left Guangshu continued, "The peerless genius whom Chu Yu invited to help was Xiao Shu from the Dan Nation."

Jiang Wang had an impression of Xiao Shu. His performance was quite bright, after all, he defeated Chu Min, but in that battle, Chu Min strategically gave up, so it wasn't possible to see much.

Later, in the sixteenth round of the Imperial Court competition, he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Qin Zhizhen.

Such an assistant is not weak.

After all, the geniuses who can participate in the Yellow River Gathering are already the top geniuses of each country.

But in front of Jiang Wang, the leader of the Yellow River, Xiao Shu, who couldn't even make it to the top eight, was indeed not a threat.

Jiang Wang didn't speak, only gesturing with his eyes.

Next.

"The expert swordsman Wu Ling invited was Ge Fei, the peerless genius from Yue Guo," Left Guang Xu introduced.

On the first day of the competition outside the Yue Guo building, the eight strongest teams from the Huang He River region gathered. The team representing the Yue Guo building was defeated by Yan Shao Fei from Wei Guo.

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

Jiang Wang only vaguely remembered the name, his impression of this person was not as deep as Bai Yu's, the talented musician from Yue Country. This was because the other matches in the outer courtyard were too exciting. No one paid much attention to Ge Fei's defeat by Yan Shaofei, a young man from Wei State.

Being able to reach the top eight in the Huanghe River Cup is already impressive, especially since it's a home game for them.

But Jiang Wang only asked, "What else"

Left Guangshu then continued, “The person Zhongli Yan invited to help was Fan Wujiu of the Li Guo.”

This is a character with quite a story. After fifteen years of decline, he spent ten years training and then soared to success. At the Yellow River meeting, he even reached the top eight in the outer hall competition, only to be defeated by Wei Sun from Zhongshan in the end.

>

Although Jiang Wangyi had not paid attention to that battle, he still had some hearsay impressions of this Fan Wujue. Speaking of which, this person's experience was quite similar to Zhongli Yan's, no wonder they could hit it off and get involved together.

However, as for Jiang Wang's assessment, if he were to review last year's Huanghe Grand Meeting based on his current strength, aside from the six hegemon nations' prodigies, only Yan Shaofei, who mastered Xu Jinhuan, would be worth noting.

>

Speaking of which, they are all the pride of their nations, the most outstanding young talents in the world.

But by now, having taken every step to reach where he is today, Lord Jiang has indeed earned the right to look down upon his peers.

Because he is the first.

When the stars shine brightest on the confluence of the Yellow River, it is the most dazzling one.

After hearing Zuo Guangshu's introduction of these people, Lord Jiang laughed loudly and confidently: "In my opinion, the heroes of the world are nothing compared to you! Guangshu, as I mentioned in my letter before, I will say it again now - this time in the Shan Hai Realm, I will definitely make you famous!"

Zu Guangshu said, "There's one more person I haven't mentioned: Dou Zhao!"

“Who did Dou Zhao invite” Jiang Wang stopped laughing and asked.

"He didn't invite anyone." Left Guangshu looked at his face and said, "What else is there to say They are just a bunch of low-lives. He would rather tie up one hand than need help from them!"

"Guangshu, when the time comes, let's go together!" Jiang Jueye said in a threatening tone.have any other text you'd like translated!Then...And that's it.The two-winged ink warrior vanished from everyone's sight.The Nine Turns Flowing Sand is still flowing, and the expensive ink warrior pur...
