Chapter 44: Swallowing the World in One Breath

irst into her arms, a chubby finger pointing. "Look, sister!"Dou Yuemei put down her brush and ink, holding her plump grandson, Xiao Yan, in her arms, ignoring how out of place the scene was. Her phoe...In the State of Qi, three palaces vied for the dragon throne. On the prairie, siblings competed for power. In the State of Jing, the Eastern Palace hung vacant. Emperor Jing watched his mediocre children and exceptionally capable nephew, yet he remained undecided.

The emperor of Chu's sons were vying for the throne, there was no crown prince for now, and the former crown prince was imprisoned in jail.

These autocratic rulers seem to be accustomed to holding power tightly. They always offer promising children a glimmer of hope, but not too much. They occasionally grant some privileges, but are always ready to take them back.

Among the Six Great Powers, only Qin was unique in having its Eastern Palace heir chosen early on and his position as firm as a mountain.

The position of crown prince for Yingwu, was unassailable.

It's not that Qin Emperor didn't have many excellent children, but Ying Wu's strength surpassed them all.

He had grown deep and wide, taking all the nutrients, so that even the grand Qin Imperial Family could no longer afford to grow another towering tree.

Today's Qin Guo's Ying Wu is extremely similar to the former Qi Guo's Jiang Wuliang.

Had General Jiang Wuliang not been deposed and imprisoned in Qingshi Palace that year, it is estimated that the four palaces of Changle, Huaying, Yangxin, and Changle would not have been established later.

He Yingwu was the top expert of his time, renowned as the number one figure in the Western Region.

In the ranks of the Qin army, the imperial families of Daqin wielded the power of the *Xianglong* and *Tianque* armies.

> The military might of Xiaolong is in his hands.

Bai Chou, the commander of Changping, was a general whom he personally promoted.

Please note that the "" characters in your request are HTML tags, and I have preserved them as they appear. I have not translated them.

The current chancellor, Vanshen, is his teacher.

His mother, the current Empress of Qin, was a noblewoman from the prominent Gongyang clan of Qin.

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

Gongyang Jia's current head, Gongyang Pu, the leader of Qin Shi Bing's ferocious tiger, has been playing with him since childhood.

Of course, the most important point is that he learned from the experience of Qi State's deposed crown prince. Although he often had his own ideas and frequently disagreed with the emperor, "speaking frankly and offering advice," he always firmly supported his father on major national policies. He called himself "the Great General in Front of the Emperor" and considered himself "the Qin Emperor's blood-soaked sword."

In terms of military prowess, warfare, and politics, Ying Wu is undoubtedly the first among all royal family members.

He was, in reality, the second most powerful figure in Qin State today, second only to the King of Qin.

His two older brothers had no exceptional talents. They lived lavish lives, but that was all—as King Wuling of Qin once said.

And those younger brothers and sisters of his had not yet reached maturity when he, Ying Wu, rose to power, dominating the court. Although they all shared the blood of the emperor, being of the highest rank, there was simply no comparison.

This is an example of a sentence.

Even though Gan Chang'an came from a prestigious family and had a true immortal at home, he was very respectful in front of this royal heir - most princes and princesses wouldn't have been able to get Gan Chang'an to show them face.

"This time I'm out of the Great Wall, there are many things to do." Jiang Wang asked directly, Ying Wu replied very boldly: "But before talking about those things, there are some words I want to tell Master Jiang - before we met, it was a pity in my heart!"

Ji Zhaonan saw that he had the posture of a long speech, and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you sit down and talk Standing here like this seems rather impolite."

Ying Wu let out a hearty laugh: "It seems I mistook you for an ordinary hero and neglected proper etiquette. Forgive my oversight—let us sit down."

But he was asking Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang didn't lose face, making a gesture of "please".

Then everyone sat around the fire.

This cave was already set with a formation, personally arranged by Gan Chang'an—Jiang Wang wasn't good at this, and Ji Zhao Nan got off work by acting cold.

Although the formation failed to prevent Yingwu from arriving, it did a good job of concealing their movements inside the mountain cave. So they felt free to build a fire and roast meat.

As the heir to the vast Western Empire, a nobleman of high rank who held considerable influence throughout the land, Ying Wu ventured out beyond the Great Wall without a single bodyguard, venturing into the territory controlled by the Shura. This act in itself was a display of extreme confidence.

If the Asura clan knew that this prince from Qin had arrived here, I'm afraid those ten Asura kings would immediately disregard everything and come to kill him.

To kill King Wǔ, it wouldn't shake the power of Qin, nor would it be necessary to speak of how Prince Tai's vacant position would inevitably lead to struggles and turmoil. Just one thing — sending the head of Crown Prince Qin to the borders — the people of Qin would surely not sit idly by behind the Great Wall.

>

Just this one thing is enough to make the Asura clan go mad.

Ying Wu's appearance in Yu Yuan, he himself is a danger, an inevitable eye of the storm that will overturn heaven and earth.

Therefore, Jiang Wang and Ji Zhao were not impressed by Yingwu's "grand plan." Even Gan Chang'an had his doubts in his heart - he hadn't seen through it yet.

A Godly Descent should be playing with the outer disciples, sweeping through the inner sect, kicking around Tenglong with every step, collapsing the acupoints of anyone he coughs at. How could he, a mere Godly Descent, spend his days playing with these reckless real people Aren't there other ways to have fun

Ying Wu sat down. He had an innate charisma of a leader; just by sitting there casually, he became the center of attention, even the firelight seemed to gather around him.

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

He turned his gaze calmly, meeting the eyes of each person present, as if he deeply respected their opinions and was attentively listening to them.

"I, Ying Wu, have always respected heroes. General Jiang Ge and General Ji are people I deeply admire!" He said this with a smile, "Chang'an is one of our own, so I won't praise him here."

There should be laughter here, to show the atmosphere is harmonious, and that the sovereign and his minister are on good terms.

But Ji Zhao'nan remained impassive, his face betraying nothing. Jiang Wang quietly waited for the next words.

So Gan Chang'an "haha"ed twice.

Ying Wu showed no displeasure. With a simple interaction, he grasped the styles of these two individuals. He then went straight to the point: "To be frank with you both, this time when I ventured west beyond the Great Wall, my goal is clear. There's something I must acquire, and I need your assistance."

The prince of Qin was very forthright, looking at Jiang Wang earnestly: "But I and Master Jiang have some knots in our hearts that need to be untied, only then can we work together. This journey is not easy, if we are not united, we will surely fail."

Jiang Wang did not deny the existence of "heart knots", and even stated: "Which one is the prince Qin talking about"

Ying Wu blurted out in praise, "Jiang Ge'yuan, what I admire most about you is this! Sincerity, frankness, openness, a true man should be like this!"

The praise of the prince of Qin was certainly not false, but Jiang Wang just watched him silently.

Across the leaping flames, Ying Wu met Jiang Wang's gaze. He saw in her seemingly placid eyes, a lack of joy and sorrow. He understood that this was a person who had weathered many triumphs and tribulations, with convictions of their own, unconcerned with the opinions of others.

Therefore, Ying Wu went straight to the point and said: "The historical case in our country is not obscure. It is clearly recorded in the history books, known to the world. I know that Jiang Ge yuan and Emperor Hui's descendant, Ying Ziyu, are as close as brothers."

Jiang Wangdao: "Love transcends kinship. While one can sever ties with kin, I cannot afford to lose Zhao Rucheng."

As a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, he should remain impartial and treat all countries and factions equally. But as "Jiang Sangu" - a specific person - he cannot hide his favoritism towards Xiao Wu.

He was the kind of person who would stand behind Zhao Ruocheng and be an enemy of Yingwu. He made no secret of this.

Yingwu sighed, “How fortunate one is to have such friends in life Even if I die, there will be no regrets.”

“He had many regrets.” Jiang Wang said.

"Ying Wudao said: "Ying Ziyue is truly innocent. His ancestors' misfortunes have nothing to do with him. He possesses great talent within the imperial family, but he was born at an unfortunate time. Fortunately, he is now a son-in-law on the grasslands, and I hear that he has a loving marriage and lives a relatively peaceful life. Jiang Ge yuan, if you mediate this situation, if he shows interest - I can make arrangements for him to return to the Ying clan's ancestral register, with Da Qin as his backing. His father, grandfather, and even He Xi Jun Wang Ying Deqing who raised him in his childhood, I will all restore their reputations and allow them to be honored with incense. After all, we share the same bloodline. Even today, people in various regions feel a sense of melancholy about this situation. Xianyang is the home of our descendants, welcome him to visit often."

The history of Qin State is a muddled account.

If one were to say that Emperor Xuan of that year, Ying Zhang, had usurped the throne, his lineage had already ruled for many years. He was a legitimate member of the Qin royal family, a descendant of Ying Yunian.

Even though Qin Taizu Ying Yun was still alive, when he attained enlightenment, he did not express any opinion on this matter, tacitly accepting the bloody competition among his descendants. What other choice did others have

Here is the translation: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Precisely when Ying Yun successfully transcended in the Snowy Domain, achieving a new milestone in his path to enlightenment, becoming the second great existence. The descendants of Qin Huai Emperor, no longer pose a real threat. No matter who it is, claiming to act under the banner of Qin Huai Emperor, will hold no sway anymore.

But it is undeniable that the conditions offered by Ying Wu were quite sincere. Especially the restoration of King He Xi Jun Wang Ying De Qing's reputation undoubtedly acknowledges the persecution inflicted by the Qin royal family on the lineage of Emperor Huai.

Jiang Wangdao: "I gave a similar answer to Manjia in the Snowy Region - I am me, Zhao Ruocheng is Zhao Ruocheng. I can only choose to support him, but I cannot make decisions for him."

Here is the translated text:

In the year 3919, at the Guanhe Platform, Zhao Rucheng, who had once wanted to hide his identity, revealed himself. With the divine sword of the Celestial Emperor, he paid homage to the emperor of Qin.

As the third brother, he couldn't say anything on that day of judgment. Firstly, he represented the State of Qi, not himself; secondly, whatever he said at that time would be meaningless.

But today, he has earned the right to speak his mind.

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

This right is not recognized by many people, but ultimately it will have to be proven with life.

Ying Wu looked at Jiang Wang, his voice gentle: "So I only ask you to act as a mediator, I don't want to be an enemy of Ziyu. The hatred between our ancestors, why should it affect future generations But the outcome still depends on Ziyu's thoughts."

He shook his head again: "I cannot deny that the imperial court's methods toward the line of Emperor Huai were not gentle. Although throughout history, in every country, struggles for the throne have been brutal, if Ziyu harbors resentment and cannot find release, I can understand."

He looked at Jiang Wang: "My ambition lies in the world, can I not face the past of the imperial family I am just telling you, Minister Jiang, expressing my goodwill towards Ziyuan. My goodwill may not be accepted, but my attitude should make you see it."

This Prince of Qin is truly a hard person to dislike.

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

Even if you've already formed a prejudice against him, have animosity towards him based on your stance, you can still feel his grandeur and open-mindedness, his domineering and confident aura.

"Jiang Wangdao: 'Your Highness's attitude, Jiang Wang has seen it. I will convey your words to Ru Cheng.'"

“That will suffice.” Yingwu stretched out his hands to warm himself by the fire. His hands were large, his fingers long, and the flames danced across his veins, giving him an air of power that seemed to command the world.

He spoke softly, "There's a second bond between us—the Duke of Chuhuai treated you like his own grandson, and you treated him with the utmost respect. Your feelings are deep. But the Duke's eldest grandson is the one I ordered executed. The Duke's family holds a grudge against Qin, and Lord Jiang must have some resentment in his heart as well. Is this not so"

Jiang Wang pondered for a moment, then still said: "I can't deny it."

"But grudges are grudges, they shouldn't have escalated to hatred." Ying Wu Dao: "Between armies, each fights for their own country. Life and death are a matter of fate, decided by one's abilities. On the battlefield, it is war. If we ever meet on the battlefield again, the Left family could kill me just as easily. But now that the fighting has ceased, there hasn't even been a visit from the Duke of Huai—since ancient times, no general in the world has held grudges against anyone outside the battlefield. Don't you think so"

Jiang Wang had to admit, Ying Wu spoke frankly, every word he said was reasonable.

>

“The Qin and Chu kingdoms have their own national hatred. As for Jiang, he walks his own path in the world, and it’s not surprising that the Qin people resent him. To those who understand me – Bu Dong, Zhi Zhen, Chang An, Wei Yu, you all know my heart. With Your Highness, there's no room for the word 'hate.' " Jiang Wang said: “But I reside in the Left Mansion, and Guang Shu often remembers his elder brother. The Empress Dowager misses her son, and the Emperor can’t forget his grandson. I have witnessed all this firsthand, and I cannot remain indifferent. The Qin Prince is a hero of the world, most noble and esteemed. Jiang Wang admires him from the bottom of his heart, but some things that have happened are irreversible, no matter how reasonable the explanation. Your path, I am destined not to walk alongside.”

Yingwu said with emotion, "You are so close to the Left family. If you truly have no ill feelings toward me in your heart, I would be reluctant to trust you. It is this very feeling of resentment that makes you a true man. People have varying degrees of closeness and distance; it's natural to love oneself and then extend that love to others. To have no self-interest and be completely selfless—is that even human"

He continued, "But at least now, we have this agreement—I admire you, and you harbor no hatred for me. Since 'hate' is out of the question, there is a basis for cooperation. Rest assured, I don't want you to help me fight for the Dragon Throne. You needn't walk alongside me."

He smiled: "Besides, that position doesn't need to be fought for. Just wait until my old father gets tired of it and realizes he can't achieve unification. He'll have to pave the way for me. Then I'll just take the throne."

This was said plainly, yet with a domineering air.

Just how mighty is the current Emperor of Qin He controls the world, cowing all who oppose him. To the east, he crushed the powerful state of Chu; to the west, he built the Great Wall. Now, border threats are quelled, and his gaze sweeps over the land with fearsome intensity. He has brought the Qin Empire to an unprecedented height of glory, a shadow rivaling the mighty Central Great Jing Dynasty itself.

Yet Yingwu said, his elderly father had no choice but to pave the way for him.

>

Even an outsider like Zhang Nan could hear the tension in the air.

Gan Chang'an kept his hands clasped inside his sleeves, staring blankly into space as if he hadn't heard a thing.

Ying Wu saw Jiang Wang's strange expression and smiled: "Misunderstood! What I said was that my old father couldn't achieve the title of Six-Harmony Emperor, not questioning his abilities. If he could teach me, wouldn't he be an emperor unparalleled throughout history It's just that heroes still need the right time. In this era, it is difficult for him to achieve his ambition——Jing Guo is old but undefeated, and his power remains. The sun rises in the east, Jiang Shu is an unparalleled hero. Royal power suppresses divine power, Helin Shanhai changes the sky and day. With these three, my father's ambition is hard to come true."

The Emperor of Chu is displaying his might in the south, while the King of Jing holds an army of seasoned warriors. Hong Junyan, the king of Li, has risen to prominence from the past struggle into the present.

He didn't even mention all these things.

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

As a prince of the Qin state, he commented on the rulers of all other kingdoms. He believed that the only obstacles to the current Qin emperor achieving unification were the three he spoke of.

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

He is a truly awe-inspiring individual.

Those who aspire to official positions find it hard not to be impressed by his grandeur.

It's no wonder Qin Zi doesn't compete, who could possibly compete with him

Jiang Wang couldn't help but say, "If you say that the current Qin emperor is unlikely to unify the Six Kingdoms, what confidence does your Highness have I dare ask, your Highness—though you are a talented scholar and warrior, and a hero among men, where do you surpass the current Emperor of Qin"

Ying Wu laughed heartily: "The current Qin emperor is no different from me in many ways, except for one thing: his father cannot compare to mine. His father was unable to pave the way for him to become the ruler of all under heaven. My father, however, could pacify the River Valley and lay the foundation for a ten thousand-li long wall!"

He looked at Jiang Wang: “Therefore, my father cannot succeed, but I can!”

"Nothing comes from nothing. It's the accumulation of thousands of years of hard work and the efforts of countless generations that ultimately lead to success, as if the water naturally flows into its destination."

His gaze shifted from Jiang Wang to Ji Zhao Nan and Gan Chang An. With a flick of his hand, he suppressed the flames by several inches: "Gentlemen, today the Great Wall has been built, connecting north and south. We, valiant men, should not be confined here, waiting for our achievements to come to us."erson returns, it can protect you. However, this is only a temporary solution..."The mysterious expert of the Equal Country's methods are indeed unpreventable and inescapable.If it weren't for Master...
