Chapter Thirteen: Like Autumn Crows, A Letter Arrives

ntained a Dao Yuan Stone, which I took.”Zhu Bi Qiong hummed softly.Regarding Hu Shaomeng's keeping of Zhu Suyao's relics, her feelings were unclear.Just then, the three dogs raised in the mine suddenl...“The emperor of Great Qi allows you to stand straight, you don't have to bow before me.”

The Emperor Mu looked at him and smiled faintly, "Welcome to the Grassland as a guest. If you have any needs, please feel free to tell Min He Miao."

Then he got up and left.

The Emperor laid out the conditions clearly.

Jiang Wang also spoke clearly.

This is just a casual interest, there's really no need to get entangled.

Helan Yunyun also got up and walked beside Mu Tianzi. Today, she wore a simple white dress and went out without makeup. But she was noble and elegant, beautiful beyond reach. She didn't say a word from beginning to end.

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

With a whoosh, a throng of prairie nobles stood up, their attendants following closely behind.

Jiang Wang bent over and before she could straighten up, mumbled back, “Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The masters at Minhe Temple were very considerate, but there’s no need to trouble them again. Cloudcloud and I have been friends for many years, and she has treated me very well during this trip to the grasslands!”

The Emperor did not answer.

Hē Lián Yún Yún glanced at this "many years friend" Brother Jiāng, and finally said: "You're welcome."

A group of people left in such a grand manner, leaving the fighting arena's stands empty.

Zhao Ruocheng sat alone in the stands, amidst a sea of flowers. His face, breathtakingly beautiful, stood out from the crowd. But his expression was downcast, like a flower just bloomed, then broken by a storm.

From beginning to end, he never got the chance to say a word to Helan Yunyun, nor did he receive even a glance.

Seeing Jiang Wang walk over, he complained pitifully, "You hit too fast. I haven't even had time to get warm in my seat!"

Here's the text translation:

Let me know if you have any other translations you need!

Jiang Wang glanced around. Everyone, including Liang and the others, had already left. He then said, “These people are all strong; I couldn't hold back.”

Zhao Ruocheng continued to complain: “How did you still invite the emperor”

Jiang Wang glared at him: "Does she need my permission to come and watch"

Zhao Ruocheng sighed for a while, then said with no interest: "Oh, by the way, He Lian Zhao wanted to invite you to dinner at his house tonight."

"Can you see if anyone else is there" Jiang Wang asked.

"Let's go." Zhao Ru Cheng said indifferently.

Then it's settled.

"How"

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

"A close friend of Yunyun for many years, how could you go to the private banquet at Lord Zhaotu's residence" Jiang Wang sat down beside him with a thud, putting his arm around his shoulder: "What's wrong with you Your mind is not on it The question you asked was also poorly worded."

Zhao Ru's growth sighed: "I feel like I don't have a chance."

"How about it"

"Earlier, I was sneaking glances at her, but she didn't even look at me! It wasn't like this before."

"Is that it" Jiang Wang let out a snort of laughter. "How did you usually pursue girls before"

Zhao Ruocheng looked listless: "Just pick the prettiest one from the bunch."

Jiang Wang wanted to slap him, but looking at his face, she felt it was quite convincing. She said, "Helan Yunyun is not those vulgar women. Don't sigh when you encounter setbacks. You need to be prepared for a long-term struggle. There are three most important things in pursuing a girl――"

Zhao Ruchen interrupted him, "Have you ever pursued her"

Jiang Wang's anger subsided slightly: "...I've seen others pursue her."

Zhao Ruocheng stood up and walked away.

"Where are you going"

"Find a place to take a nap!"

Jiang Wang rolled her eyes.

Zhao Ruocheng took two steps and then turned back.

Jiang Wang sneered: "How, are you still going to rely on your brother――What's this"

Zhao Rucheng pulled out a large handful of Yitun flowers from his arms and stuffed them into Jiang Wang's embrace, with a deep resentment in his voice: "Here you go!"

He turned and strode away.

Jiang Wang let out a 'tsk' and leaned back in her chair, waving her hand dismissively: "This poor kid has no backbone at all!"

He gathered up the battered and bruised yarrow flowers in his hands, smoothing out their crumpled petals with care. "I just asked you to find a chance for us to sit and chat," he mumbled. "There's no need to confess your feelings right after being rejected! This boy really doesn't understand anything."

He had some unprecedented, inexplicable worries—what would a “very understanding” confession be like

"How should I confess my feelings" A soft, feminine voice flowed like water, as if it had taken his unspoken thoughts and whispered them into his ear.

Jiang Wang raised his eyes and looked. The famed Beidi Rose, graceful and beautiful, came towards him with a smile.

Jiang Wang remained silent.

Biān Wáng sat down calmly beside him, looking out at the distance from this stand and sighing, "The sky is really beautiful today..."

She turned her head and looked at Jiang Wang, her eyes filled with admiration, a mesmerizing smile on her face: “It seems like it’s all to set off your brilliance.”

Jiang Wang leapt to his feet: "I suddenly remembered something, I'll take my leave first!"

Looking at the back of this proud genius, Bian Ydou wasn't annoyed, just lightly wiped her red lips with her fingertip and softly laughed: "Even colder than Xiang Ling'er said..."

>

Jiang Wang held the bouquet of Yichen flowers and quickly caught up to Zhao Ru Cheng: "Wait! Where are you going to rest"

Zhao Ruchen's spirit was completely broken: "Just find any inn. I just want to lie down now."

"You're such an idiot." Jiang Wang tapped him with the flower.

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

“How could I be so stupid” Zhao Ruocheng resisted, “Don’t forget that in the previous academy exams, you always copied from someone else!”

>

Jiang Wang said coldly, "I can pass even without copying."

Zhao Ruocheng continued to resist: "But you can't get full marks. That day, astronomy, geography, and the classics of history..."

"Good!" Jiang Wang turned and left: "You go to your inn. I'll have Helin Yunyun arrange a place for me, she just promised to entertain me in front of Mu Tianzi!"

Zhao Rucheng suddenly came to his senses, ran backwards and caught up with Jiang Wang, smiling at him: "Brother, she should be entertaining us, right"

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

Jiang Wang frowned: "There's no 'men' here, is there"

Zhao Rucheng turned back on the spot, and embraced Jiang Wang's shoulders: "Third brother, are you being distant with your younger brother We're a team, we've always been inseparable!"

"Things from the Daoist Academy..."

“I won’t say a word! I really didn’t tell AnAn any of this. I keep telling you how smart you are!”

"Humph."

“Really! How could your brother lie to you I haven't told Qingyu either, don't believe me, go ask her――"

"Alright, alright." Jiang Wang called to stop him: "Keep that pretty but silent mouth of yours shut!"

Seeing Zhao Ruocheng nod and fall silent, he said, "Let's go. Brother will take you to mingle and have some food and drink, to get a chance to meet people. You, think carefully about what to say when you meet them."

Zhao Ruocheng followed his third brother, feeling a bit apprehensive: "She's heartbroken. Will she really still entertain us"

Jiang Wang was brimming with confidence: "She promised in front of the emperor. Even if she is the princess of Da Mu, she can't betray the emperor, right"

Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!

Zhao Rucheng hesitated again: "But...I don't want her to see me because of the imperial order."

"You're a smart person, so why are you so anxious and overthinking things now!" Jiang Wang tapped him with a flower: "Great Mu Tianzi is Helin Yunyun's biological mother, and she 'had to see you because of the emperor's order.' She really thinks too highly of herself! If Helin Yunyun didn't want to see you, who could force her"

Zhao Ru Cheng suddenly realized, “So if I can see her later, it means...”

The two brothers looked at each other and burst into laughter on the street.

A child by the roadside said, "Mother, why did they suddenly start laughing They were laughing so foolishly. It startled me."

"Their mother rushed by, tugging at the child's hand: 'There are a lot of crazy people around now, don't mind them.'"

The two brothers didn't mind either, and laughed even happier.

Along the way, laughter all the way.

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

... until...

Zhao Ruocheng was rejected at the door.

The princess said she would entertain us, so why wouldn't we be allowed in!

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

Outside Helan Yunyun's palace gates, Zhao Rucheng was furious, almost ready to perform all the grievances he had suffered over the past few days.

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

The female officer blocking his way stared at him, almost unwilling to look away, but her words were resolute: "Her Highness said she only entertains her friends."

"Aren't we just right" Zhao Ruocheng angrily said, "What are you stopping us for"

Having spent so long with Helian Yunyun, he had been to this Yuyang Palace countless times. He was familiar with most of the female officials here. Today, they actually specially assigned someone he didn't know to block his way!

Whenever he met someone familiar, he could extract some information from them.

“I didn't stop you,” the female official said seriously. “Just you, Master Zhao.”

And again he bowed to Jiang Wangxing: "Young Master Jiang, please come in. His Highness has ordered that we treat you with the highest standards for entertaining guests today."

Please note that the original input only contained HTML tags and no text to translate. Therefore, the output is simply the same HTML tags without any changes.

Jiang Wang opened his mouth and said, “This female official, it's like this -- the two of us, we are together.”

The female official was very serious: "Young Master Jiang is indeed an old friend of His Highness, but who is this person beside him This servant does not know, His Highness did not make it known."

"I'm a family member!" Zhao Rucheng raised his hand. "I'm his younger brother!"

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

Jiang Wang chimed in: “Not allowing family members is not hospitable.”

“This…” The female official stammered, not knowing how to respond. But after all, she had been sent here, so the figure standing at the door was still very firm.

>

"Who dares to clamor outside the palace of Yun Dian!" With this thunderous rebuke, General Yuwen Duo, with ironclad bones, strode forward. His gaze swept across the crowd, imposing and dignified: "What is going on here"

"General Yuwen," the female official recognized Yuwen Tuo, her face showing displeasure. "The princess only said to entertain Young Master Jiang, but this one insisted on coming along..."

This is the translated text:

Yuwendu sized Zhao Rucheng up and down: "This boy is very suspicious. First of all, he doesn't look good."

Zhao Rucheng glared.

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

Yu Wen Duo glared back defiantly! He said, "In that case, I'll bring him in for questioning."

He shoved Zhao Rucheng with his hand: "What are you looking at Are you not convinced Get in!"

Zhao Ruocheng stumbled into Yiyanging Palace, not bothering to care about Yuwen Du's pretentious airs.

Uwen Duo was in full armor, striding with the bearing of a tiger, maintaining an imposing air. He pushed very hard and wanted to push again.

"Cough!" Jiang Wang coughed lightly.

Yuwen Du lifted his hand that was still in the air and raised another, clapping loudly with admiration. "Brother Jiang, you were amazing today! I'm speechless! The world's number one expert, there is no one else like you!"

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

Before, when people said Jiang Wang was the number one divine in the world, they had to add a "young generation" prefix.

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

But today, after this battle, Yuwen Tuo was convinced. He felt that the prefix "number one" could be removed altogether, for he truly was the best in the world!

That Liang, Yuwen Lie, Wanyan Du, and Jin Gonghao, these four individuals placed in any location in the world, from any angle of comparison, are among the top masters to be found.

A genuine prodigy of the present world!

Jiang Wang was able to face four opponents in the same situation and achieve a crushing victory.

Looking at the world today, is there any divine being whose strength can compare to this

Jiang Wang just waved his hand and said, "Your cousin is fine, right"

"It's alright, it's alright." Yuwen Duo smiled. "Just a little stunned, even went home and still spaced out! Probably got dazed by you!"

“He’s very strong.” Jiang Wang said seriously, “That’s precisely why I tried every means to get him out of the picture first… When you set up the next game, we’ll drink together.”

“Alright, I’ll make the arrangements!” Yuwen Du laughed loudly. Then he lowered his voice and said, “His Highness Yun is not expected to come see you today. She's still in the palace now and who knows when she'll come out. She only instructed that Yiyuan Palace could accommodate…”

When Zhao Ruchen heard this, he immediately turned around and said, "Since everyone else is gone, you still dare to be so arrogant --"

This is a test.

A dazzling command froze him.

Yuwendu swayed the command, and said calmly: "I am not a talented person, but I also share some of the guarding duties of Yiyang Palace. If this brother doesn't understand etiquette and makes trouble here, I will have to ask you to leave."

Zhao Ruocheng reached out and brushed his collar, a smile on his face: "Look at you, you're all dirty here and you don't even notice."

At Yiyang Palace, good wine and good food were all served.

The performances during banquets, also the most famous opera troupe on the grassland.

The dancing girl is beautiful, and the singing girl's voice is melodious.

At the table, Jiang Wang and Yuwen Duo, who was in charge of entertaining the guests, were toasting and drinking merrily.

Zhao Ruocheng had lost his taste for food.

In the past, He Lianyun would not allow others to watch these dances and songs. For example, the Chu singers raised by Yuwen Tuo were sent by He Lianyun to Qi State overnight.

>

Now he's completely ignored!

At a table for three, two worlds apart.

While the atmosphere was warm with alcohol and merriment on one side, a harsh spring chill gripped things on this side.

Above all else, Zhao Ruheng had never been this tormented in his life.

They drank until the moon was high in the sky, but Helin Yunyao still hadn't returned to the palace. It seemed she wasn't planning on going back tonight.

The female official who had stopped them earlier walked in again: “Your accommodations have been arranged. Would you like to move and rest, Master Jiang”

"I haven't finished drinking yet!" Zhao Rucheng said.

That means we still have to wait here.

Please provide the content you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

The female official deliberately avoided speaking to him, only performing a curtsy towards Jiang Wang: "Young Master Jiang, if you need anything, please feel free to speak. There are always people waiting for you outside the palace."

Jiang Wang smiled and raised her glass, indicating that she understood.

But after a short while, the female official entered again and inquired: “Master Jiang, someone has sent you an invitation to a banquet.”

Jiang Wang waved his hand: “No, I’m going to wait here for my good friend, Yun Dianxia.”

>

Yuwen Duo bumped him on the side, quite curious: "Let's see which young lady it is."

"Perhaps it's best not to look." Zhao Rucheng, in a bad mood himself, poured cold water on his friend: "What if she's the girl you like"

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

Yuwen Du immediately stopped smiling.

Instead, Jiang Wang became curious: "You're a frequent visitor to the Shen'en Temple. Do you have a favorite woman"

Yuwen Du waved his hands repeatedly: "A man's ambition lies in all directions, let's not talk about this, don't talk about this--"

And again looking at the female official: "Who delivered the message"

The female official lowered her head and said, "Gu Shuyi."

Yuwendu let out a sigh of relief, then was startled again.

The world's number one chivalrous hero, Gu Shiyi!

A renowned hero who was famous throughout the land two hundred years ago, now the spiritual leader of wandering heroes in the world.

After gaining fame through the Yellow River Meeting and the Dragon Palace Banquet, Yan Shaofei, the wandering hero of Wei state, is now considered one of the most influential wandering heroes in the world. However, he is still far from Gu Shiyi, who is renowned throughout the land.

Could he have possibly come to the prairie

More drinks

Looking at Elder Jiang beside him, Yuwen Du felt increasingly in awe: "Brother Jiang is truly well-connected, associating with the best of the best!"

>

Jiang Wang merely raised a hand, drawing the visiting card to his palm. He opened it and saw a few lines scrawled in an unrestrained, casual hand -- "Someone from the grassland is here on business. They heard that Jiang LaoDi was around, so since I'm unable to visit the palace, I've sent this letter to you. Come out for a drink!"

The language is straightforward and unadorned, reflecting a strong sense of filial piety.

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

Jiang Wang naturally had no reason to refuse. The two first met during the pursuit by that crazy woman in Pingguo Nation, Gu Shiyi stepped in and saved his life. The last time they drank together was before the Xia伐 campaign, he traveled the land seeking swordsmanship, on the way he encountered Gu Shiyi's summons, and with just some leftover food, they drank three bowls.

This person is unrestrained and carefree, a casual friend who enjoys drinking.

More importantly... this is also a powerful real person who is worth befriending, and you can try your hand at it.

Then, Chong Xuan followed the path to see the scenery outside the building before reaching his senses. Jiang had seen the scenery inside the cave beforehand and went back in again. So he asked him, "Are you convinced"

Waiting for someone, especially with a group of people, can be truly boring.

Jiang Wang was so bored accompanying Yuwen Duo in Yiyang Palace that she almost fell asleep!

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

Then he stood up and said, "I can't miss this dinner party. Xiao Wu, will you come with me first, or wait here"

Zhao Ruocheng looked at him and asked, "Is Gu Shiyi your friend Is this trip safe"

"He has a reliable reputation and once helped me," Jiang Wang smiled. "As for safety... this is the Supreme Royal Court."

"That's how it is, then." Zhao Rucheng remained seated, his handsome face resolute and unyielding, with the air of someone who wouldn't let go even if they were clinging to a mountainside: "I'll wait here."

Jiang Wang stared at him for a moment. Zhao Ru Cheng at this time was indeed different from any other time. The phrase "thick-skinned" could describe Xu Xiangqian, it could accurately describe Zhong Xuan Sheng, but when would it ever be used to describe Zhao Ru Cheng

He said emotionally, "Xiao Wu, you've never been this persistent about anything before."

“You always give the ending before it happens. You always abandon others before they abandon you.”

You have a kind of nobility, you're unwilling to bow your head.

He took out a wilted yingche flower from the storage box and casually stuck it in the corner of the table. After many years of disuse, the woodpath magic was activated at this moment, bringing life to the broken branches. Roots sprouted and intertwined with the woody tendrils.

This splash of brilliant color, blooming right in the corner of the desk, is so vibrant and beautiful, it's like a piece of permanent decoration.

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

“This is the flower that my little one, Wu, brought home. It should be blooming beautifully right here.”

What he carefully left behind was not a bouquet of flowers, but Zhao Ruocheng's heartfelt feelings that he never had the chance to offer.
