Chapter 67: Yearning Hearts
spout of Sāmi True Fire still retain shades of dark and bright redWhy is the flame divided into three layersJiang Wang vaguely felt that he had already touched the window paper concerning divine abil...On the solemn and majestic sacrificial ceremony, a thought that shook heaven and earth suddenly appeared, information enough to shake the court, circulating among the high-ranking officials of Yue.
> Yue Jiajia, the vanguard marshal, urgently reported: "There has been movement on Yinxian Peak. The Right Minister of Rites seems to have awakened and is fighting with Zhongli Yan, the envoy from Chu! Should we immediately activate the Guardian National Array to intervene The Yue Jia army is ready, and I can lead them there at any time!"
Bian Liang, at forty-five years old this year, is a pillar of the Yue country's military. The Yue Jia he commands has a core force of only three thousand, but auxiliary troops number over thirty thousand. Every one of these three thousand core soldiers is extraordinary, trained in the special techniques passed down through generations of Yue warriors, constantly refined and improved. They are masters of the forefront battle formations of mainstream martial arts. They are highly disciplined and have always been victorious in every battle, achieving complete domination on the battlefield, earning them the title of Yue country's foremost warrior.
No matter from which aspect, Bian Liang, who commanded such an army, was undoubtedly a high-ranking official in Yue Guo.
But this revolution is not the same as that one, and he was unaware of it.
Throughout history, things that are not kept secret tend to lead to harm.
Before Gao Zheng's death, only he and Emperor Wenjing Xiu knew about Ge Fei's affairs. After Gao Zheng's death, the only one who knew was Gong Zhiliang—this was because Wenjing Xiu, as the son of heaven from Yueguo, was under the scrutiny of the world, and his every move was difficult to be free. To scheme and plan, he had to involve Gong Zhiliang, who acted on his behalf.

“No need to rush.” Gong Zhliang said calmly, “Right Inspector Su Xing being a good thing. He was angry at being bullied by the Chu envoy and acted out – if he couldn't win then fine, but since he can, why should we intervene”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Upon hearing this, Bian Liang knew there was more to the story.
This matter itself is extremely strange. Firstly, the soul of Ge Fei was torn apart and scattered across the Five Halls Sea and the Obscure Mist. Logically speaking, there is no possibility of return; secondly, why would Ge Fei fight with Zhong Li Yan This incident itself is very strange; thirdly, why could Ge Fei have the strength to fight against Zhong Li Yan The leap from Shen Lin to Dong Zhen is not a simple one, especially the Dong Zhen realm requires understanding of the world. It makes no sense that after going mad for several years, he would break through the realm instead; fourthly, Ge Fei's awakening does not seem to be good news for the Yue Kingdom at present, because once awakened, Ge Fei first needs to give Duke An Guo of Chu a satisfactory explanation. Once this explanation is not satisfactory enough, the entire Yue Kingdom will have to face Wu Zhao Chang's wrath.
These problems Gong Zhiliang wouldn't have expected, yet he remained so calm.
He is certainly not Gao Zheng, who remained unfazed even when mountains collapsed before him. Even if Gao Zheng were still here, it's doubtful he could solve these problems!
This Yue Jiajia frowned: “Does the Prime Minister have something he's not telling me Has this general become untrustworthy”
This statement explicitly questions the prime minister, but implicitly questions the emperor.
On this solemn occasion, these words are heard by few. Besides the three of them, there is also a Grand Chancellor, an elder statesman of the royal court, and in essence, all are at the top echelon of Yue, individuals who can be absolutely trusted.
Wen Jingxiu's voice rose at this moment: "Yue Jia is the one closest to me, entrusting my life and fortune. This is the highest level of trust! I don't believe you betray me, Liang, who else can I trust It's just that this game was left behind by Gao Xiang. The old man repeatedly warned before starting, there must be no ripples. After all, the Qian Tang waves are vast and unpredictable! This involves the national order, and I have only discussed it with the Prime Minister. The Empress doesn't know, the Crown Prince doesn't know, no one in the world knows."
Bian Liangxin's heart trembled violently. He hadn't expected Gao Zheng to have such a hidden move. But this was perfectly natural, after all, Gao Xiang was a genius who could see through everything. It was his calm and effortless death that was truly suspicious!
>
He immediately replied: “If it’s a matter of General Gao being away from the battlefield, we will fight and listen to Han. To actually involve me would only make things worse. Prime Minister, please forgive Bian for his rudeness!”
Gong Zhiliang immediately responded: "Bian Shuai is loyal to the country, this is the greatest courtesy. Gong only has respect in his heart."
“All of you are my trusted advisors, understanding my heart. We must join hands and overcome this hardship together.” Wen Jingxiu comforted his generals with sincerity, then immediately ordered: “Zhou the commander has been preparing for battle in Qian Tang. Order him to dispatch all naval forces, we need to prepare for the worst. Bian, activate the National Protector Array at once, lead the army to stop the war on Yinxiang Peak, protect the Right Minister of State, and don’t harm the envoy from Chu. Simultaneously, seal the West Gate and block Chu’s access. As for Shushan, I will personally write a letter. Yue has been our shield for many years, they cannot just stand by idly.”

After a series of commands transmitted through divine consciousness, Wenjing Xiu turned back on the altar, her gaze passing over Dou Mian, the deputy envoy from Chu, as if looking towards Yingcheng, known as the "First City Under Heaven."
He knew that the prince of Chu would not look at him, but he did gaze in the direction of the prince of Chu.
“Deputy General Dou! As the son of a high-ranking duke, you are born with privilege and talent. Can you answer me one question” Wen Jingxiu spoke out: “You came to our country claiming to be here for condolences. But why is your Great Chu envoy, present at Yuncheng Peak And why did he attack our Right Grand Secretary!”
Throughout his insanity, Ge Fei held the position of Right Attendant Scholar. Even after he became insane, his position was not removed, perhaps because people still held hope for him or were waiting for him to recover. His salary was also paid regularly.
Therefore, throughout the history of Yue, people still refer to him as Youdu Yushi.
Doumian was completely dumbfounded.
He even struggled for a while before realizing that "Yunlai Peak" was the official name of Yinxang Peak, and Youdu Yushi referred to Ge Fei.
But he had no idea why Zhong Liyan went to Yinxian Peak, or why he would fight with Ge Fei.
Isn't Ge Fei crazy
What's the point of fighting fools and lunatics Isn't this like turtles fighting turtles — a pointless, internal conflict
Ke Wenjing's imposing aura was so powerful at this moment that even the civil and military officials of Yue Guo were rendered speechless. They felt as though they had no answer, and could only be hacked to pieces — indeed, although Dou Mian's status was noble and his family background illustrious, the Wei Guo Gongfu would certainly avenge him. But what good would revenge do if the person was already dead
"I submit to the Emperor of Duiyue! " Dou Mian's heart pounded as he frantically wished well for Zhongli Yan's family, yet his lips didn't falter. “First and foremost, I must emphasize that my role in this mission is merely as a deputy envoy, and throughout my entire journey, I remained in Huiqi. I am completely unaware of any events that transpired within your kingdom. In my opinion, the most crucial matter at hand is to pinpoint the root cause of this conflict: why did Zhongli Yan clash with Ge Fei Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, or possibly a heated argument. Even a friendly sparring match could be a possibility. There are many potential scenarios, and we must approach this situation with utmost prudence, bearing in mind our responsibility towards the diplomatic relations between our two nations. The specific course of action will depend largely on your kingdom's response. As I have repeatedly stated, my role is that of a deputy envoy, and I remained in Huiqi throughout the entire journey. I am utterly uninformed about any events occurring within your kingdom.”
Wen Jingxiu patiently listened to him finish, then waved her hand: "Since Dou Fushi doesn't know anything, then I can only trouble you for a while—take him down and keep him well guarded. Don't let him come to any harm."
With just that one sentence, the emperor of Yue left the Taimiao.
The official stood on the high platform, unsure whether this half-completed ritual should continue.
"Continue!" Gong Zhiliang ordered, then turned and walked away.
Hullabaloo, like the tide retreating at Qian Tang. Most of the civil and military officials in Taimiao dispersed in an instant.
Only the court officials and some insignificant minor officials remained, listlessly performing the latter half of the ceremony according to protocol. But none of them, including themselves, truly cared about the death anniversary of the founding emperor of i Vit.
"Heaven does not spare years, soul, may you forever sleep. Mourn for me…"
Flags fluttered and banners waved, the altar stood solemn. The sound in the wind seemed to be a mournful cry.
The Great Defensive Array of the Yue Kingdom activated very quickly, and from this, one could also glean a glimpse of the Yue Kingdom's military preparedness.
To be on the side of a powerful country is indeed something they cannot afford to underestimate.
As soon as the great formation was set up, the state of Yue became an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron, with its vast mountains and rivers forming a unified whole.
Bian Liang's reorganization of his troops was without any delay. Leaving the Taimiao Temple, he immediately gathered his soldiers and transformed into a white dragon, spanning across the country before landing on Yinxang Peak.
But before that, the peak of that mighty blood and energy had already collapsed.
Zhongli Yan, once clad in heavy armor, was now left with only a few scattered pieces. He fell from the sky, crashing before the army and smashing the dense yellow earth into a deep pit.
After a few breaths, the famous heavy sword named "Southern Mountain" flipped several times and plunged into his side.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
His hair was disheveled and flew about wildly as he descended from the sky. The look in his eyes had lost its savage ferocity, replaced by a chilling emptiness. He glanced at the heavy sword in his hand and addressed Zhongli who lay on the ground: "This renowned blade has truly suffered serving you. Being flung about every other day, do you hear its mournful cries"
Even on the verge of death, Zhong Liyan gritted his teeth and cursed: "You are definitely not Ge Fei! You dog thief, using someone else's skin to deceive me, what kind of skill is that I was careless, which gave you a chance!"
Gao Zheng is dead, his master Zhongli should have been able to rampage across the countries, but he was beaten half to death by a mere Ge Fei!
What a shame!
Even if Gao Zheng came out pretending to be dead, even if the Emperor Wenjing of Yue himself took action He could still feel a little better.
To think that someone as illustrious as Dou Zhao and Jiang Wang, a peerless talent, would be defeated in this insignificant ditch in Yue Guo, extinguished by the waves called 'Ge Fei', is truly a shame to his name. Shame on him, he should face the people of Xiangu!
"If I wasn't G Fei, I could make it easier for you to accept. But if not, then just think that way. I don't care about the weak."
"Damn it—" Zhōnglí Yán was so angry he almost jumped up.
But he was kicked hard back to the ground by Ge Fei.
The leather of the boot pressed against his left cheek, and his right cheek rested against the mud.
Zhongli Yan, unwilling to be humiliated, struggled continuously, but was repeatedly crushed by Ge Fei's attacks.
"Right Imperial Censor!" Bian Liang, leading the troops in formation, declared: "This man is the official envoy of the Chu State; his life must not be harmed!"
Bianyáng was also astonished at this time.
Ge Fei not only has the strength to confront Zhongli Yan head-on, but also wins!
Zhong Liyan said this was not a real Gui Fei, he knew it in his heart.

So, although he was polite and friendly on the surface, he did not forget to keep the army in a state of alert.
Ge Fei gave him a cold glance, without moving his boot, and simply said: "When he drew his sword to strike me, no one told him not to harm my life."
Bian Liang's physique was sturdy, and he considered himself physically strong in his daily life. But today, seeing Zhong Liyan's blood qi constantly dissipating, layer by layer like the surging tides of Qian Tang, he realized what true physical strength was. And even such a powerful Zhong Liyan was beaten into this state by Ge Fei.
He quickly said, "I led my troops here and activated the National Protection Formation, all to fulfill my mission of protecting you. I had no prior knowledge of your immense power!"
"Whose orders" Ge Fei asked.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Bian Liangdao: "Imperial Decree!"
Ge Fei took off his boots: "Then let's see what other orders the Emperor has. Also—
He lowered his head to look at himself, and with a slight frown of discomfort said: “Have someone bring me a new set of clothes. I'm wearing dirty ones."
>
He added, "Also need a Confucian robe."
A giant bronze mirror reflected Gefei's unsightly features.
When the bronze mirror opened its field of vision, three thousand Yue soldiers in their full battle regalia and Zhongli Yan lying on the ground still stained with blood were all laid bare. In the distance, Yinxiang Peak stood silently, observing Wen Jingxiu holding the bronze mirror. As if feeling a gaze upon him, he gently clenched his fingers, then loosened them one by one.
After leaving the Taimiao Temple, the emperor of Yue directly came to this practice hall with a special arrangement. He sat alone on the stone platform, quietly admiring the reflection in the bronze mirror.

Just as Ge Fei was saying, "I want a Confucian scholar's robe," starlight began to appear in the high sky, seeping through the palace walls, flying over the glazed tiles, and manifesting itself within the hall.
This is a majestic star god rendered entirely in black, clad in full armor engraved with bizarre star patterns. Everything about this star god is concealed within the armor, save for a pair of wise, starlit eyes that gleam from within the dark helmet.
It was none other than Xingji, ranked first among the Twelve Yellow Dao Star Gods.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Wen Jingxiu participated in the ceremony wearing her ceremonial robes, and she just sat there quietly, gazing at this star god, gazing at Zhuge Yixian who the star god represented.
The might of the nation rested in his grasp. The formidable power of the Royal Guard surrounded him, and the entire palace of the Yue Kingdom echoed with his presence... He held the supreme authority of this nation, standing at its very heart, possessing the courage to confront anyone.
There were no guards in the palace because no one in Yue Country was stronger than him. He had already embodied the strongest individual form of this country.
Please provide me with the text content you would like me to translate. I can then translate it into English while preserving the HTML tags.
The Star God and the King gazed at each other for a long time, as if they didn't care about anything reflected in the bronze mirror, including Zhongli Yan's life or death.
Just as Bian Liang under Yixian Peak couldn't bear it any longer and ordered someone to send a summons to the capital.
This is the translated text: >
Finally, the star era opened, and he thus asked: “Can Yuejia be Chu Feng”
Wen Jingxiu looked at him and said frankly, "No."
“What’s the point of messing with all this pointless stuff” The armored star god looked around, “National power, grand formations, soldiers, inner palace experts… what significance do they hold”
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He, on behalf of Zhuge Yi, posed a question. It concerned the present moment, but it was not limited to the present alone.
Wen Jingxiu only said, “I am the master of the country, responsible for all under heaven. Although I know I cannot win, I will not offer my neck to be cut.”
Starry Era said: "Knowing you are inferior, you still stubbornly resist. You harm millions of people for nothing. Where do you put the commoners of Yue land as an emperor"
"The suffering of the people is not my fault, nor are these wicked deeds mine." Wen Jingxiu shook her head: "Chu Feng will not come, and the people of Yue land will be safe. If there were no foreign enemies, there would be no trouble in the world. I wish to place all people at ease and happiness."
“As the sovereign of a nation, to speak with such naive words is truly laughable!” Xingji sneered. “If there were no Chu, wouldn't there be Qin If there were no Qin, wouldn't Wei and Song have their ambitions Could it be, as you say, that the entire world must endure and yield, lest they harm your Yue people”
Wen Jingxiu looked at him and said: "If as you say, then weak nations need not exist. I have only one question to ask — why did the founder of Chu not submit in the past"
"Arrogance!" Xingji's expression turned ferocious in an instant, as if the world-renowned Great Sorcerer who had dominated the southern regions for thousands of years cast his majesty upon this desolate expanse, making this majestic palace suddenly feel fragile and vulnerable. — "You dare to compare yourself to the Taizu of our dynasty"
Wen Jingxiu remained as calm as still water: "Though I cannot be there in person nor reach it with my strength, my heart yearns for it."
Can a truly legitimate emperor punish without instruction and execute without due process
A hegemonic nation, the one that most needs to maintain its national system and best represents the current tide of the world, would certainly not act so recklessly.
Although war between the two nations has not been hindered, is it realistic for Chu to attack Yue now What justification would there be Will Shu Shan intervene Will Jing and Qin interfere
Perhaps the Star Era knew why Wen Jingxiu was so fearless.
>
At this moment, the voice of the Star God dissipated, and the voice of Zhuge Yi descended: "Ge Fei, in this matter, your Yue Kingdom needs to give an explanation!"
“Gev Fei” Wen Jingxiu turned her head to look at the person reflected in the copper mirror, and said calmly, “Just kill him. I don’t know who is occupying this body now!”g away from Qi for so long, it shows that he has weathered the storms of those overt and covert forces who opposed him during his time as Qi Gong Hou. He is poised to deliver on his promises in the fu...
