Chapter Eighty-One: A Toast to You, My King, May I Urge You

ed beside the person lying on the ground, as if he hadn't noticed the woman's words. He asked in his mouth, "What's wrong with this person"“Oh, he seems to have gone mad.”The woman kicked the person o...As the sunlight gradually warmed, the clouds gradually dispersed.

As the sun passed over the coast, summer revealed a few more of its true colors.

A figure in green robes flew across the sky, seeming to soar in the brilliant sunshine.

Whom comes—

The commander of the city gate guards, Yan Guangyou, spoke in a voice that grew softer and softer.

Of course, he recognized the former Marquis of Wuan.

This tall man, as if stepping out from the scorching sun—the former Marquis of Wu'an at nineteen, when he rode to Guanhetai, was mounted upon a fiery red stallion, setting out with his head held high.

"One is sure to gain fame by simply looking at it."

Of course, he also heard from his seniors. He hadn't enlisted yet at that time.

In recent years, those who serve in the military from Qi state do not revere "Wu'an," but rather "Guanxi." As a model of a young nobleman who was enfeoffed, following these two virtues is almost like worshipping gods. One is born as an ordinary person and built his fortune from scratch, achieving first place in military achievements among the youths of all the states. The other, although born into a top-tier aristocratic family, established his own independent faction and earned the title of marquis through military merit.

These two portraits, sometimes they are taken home to town for peace. Whenever there is war, they specially pay homage.

Though both are now abroad, they remain renowned—spending thirty years in the Taixu Pavilion. Those who know understand.

People from the state of Qi, especially soldiers, generally treated them as their own.

"I am Jiang Wang, a native of Xingyueyuan. I have no criminal record and have never committed a crime. I used to work in the state of Qi. This time, I entered the city to visit relatives and friends. I wonder, General, if you could vouch for me"

As a former Jin Gua warrior who had only served as a palace guard for one night in the Great Qi emperor's sleeping quarters, Jiang Zhenren was quite familiar with the city entry inspection process. Those with verification letters would be directly checked against them, while those without would have to answer these questions.

>

Seeing Jiang Wang stepping out in the sunlight, falling before him like a god, yet humbly seeking advice from the gatekeeper, Yan Guangyou felt as if he were dreaming.

Jiang Wang beckoned, "General"

"Ah Ah, oh!" Yan Guanyou was startled awake. He suddenly realized that he was the 'Gatekeeper,' and quickly stepped aside: "Come in, this way!"

Then he reacted, waving his hand: "This way, this way, come in through the gate!"

Jiang Wang grasped his hand that was held in the air: "Thank you, General, for your kindness. I have no merit or title, so I'd better take the side door."

Having said that, he walked to the back of the long line of people entering the city.

The city of Linzi had one hundred and eight city gates, most of which were open throughout the day. Even so, there was a constant flow of people, making it difficult to find any free time.

The city guards were highly efficient. They directly used a magical brush connected to the Household Registry of the Political Affairs Hall to verify documents within the gatehouse, and with one stroke, they could tell if something was genuine. After passing it through, it also served as another anti-counterfeiting mark.

Thus, the team also marched very slowly.

Yan Guangyou came over to deliver water: "The weather is hot, please have some water. It's from the well, very sweet!"

Yan Guangyou came over to deliver buns: "Have you had breakfast Hu Toujun made them, the meat is firm and the filling is generous!"

Yan Guanyou came over to offer a chair: "Why don't you sit here for a while There will be fewer people later."

Jiang Wang ate and drank, only declining the chair: “No sitting, I’m in a hurry.”

Yan Guangyou lifted his eyes: "Why don't I take you——"

Jiang Wang shook his head. "We can't cut in line."

With a whoosh, the long queue ahead parted instantly. People who had been glancing back at him impatiently stepped aside to make way.

People were silent, only giving him eager looks.

Jiang Wang was silent for a moment.

How can one forget the state of Qi

Those expectations and trust won't make you willful and selfish. They only make you constantly reflect on yourself as you move forward, fearing that you might disappoint and dare not make mistakes.

Just as the four floors of the Path of Truth are to "True Self".

He didn't hesitate, bowed his hands and walked forward: "Thank you all, my fellow villagers!"

The crowd was excited.

The number one ginger in the world, Jiang Wang, calls them 'townspeople'!

"Old fellow!" someone boldly asked, "Where are you going"

“Go to Li’s house.”

Jiang Wang paused for a moment, then emphasized: "The Duke Houfu of Destroying the City."

He walked through the long queue and passed through the city gate.

At a watermelon stand near the city gate, using two silver ingots, he bought all the watermelons: "These silver coins are for everyone who enters the city today to eat watermelon and cool off — if anyone wants to embezzle them, remember that I am friends with Chong Xuan."

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

The old man selling watermelon shook his fan and said with a smile, "You don't need to use Bo望 Hou's name. Your name is scarier. Even if I had the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn't dare to steal your money. Rest assured!"

That's why they say people from Linzi are bold. Even a melon seller has more guts than anyone else. After all, they live in the capital of the mighty Qi state and have seen all sorts of people. They dare to tease anyone.

Please note that I can only translate the text content, not the HTML tags themselves.

"If the silver is not enough, just ask him for more," Jiang Wang said.

Then, he turned and walked into the city alone.

"Jiang Wang arrives in Linzi!"

"Jiang Wang went to the Duke of Cailing's mansion!"

"Jiang Wang has proven the Tao through two stages and emerged from the depths of the Heavenly Path, attaining utmost truth. Now, the Way is easily within his grasp!"

This news spread like wildfire throughout Linzi.

>

Many people only then asked in surprise - when did Jiang Wang's second proof of Heaven and Man occur, and when did he sink into the deep sea of Heavenly Dao

>

The story happened without anyone knowing, and it ended without anyone knowing.

The hardship in this situation can only be truly understood by the person experiencing it.

Jiang Wang walked in Linzi.

Having experienced both splendor and hardship in Linzi, I'm back to revisit this place. It still feels like seeing flowers through mist.

This city takes a lifetime to understand.

Luckily, I still remember the way to the Marquis of Destroying City's mansion.

The Li family was a prominent and wealthy household, the foremost family in Qi State. Usually, they didn't have many visitors.

Lord Li Zhengyan of Cuyicheng was a serious man who disliked flattery. He dealt with official matters rather than personal ones, and he spent most of his time patrolling the border, rarely staying at home. His grandmother, Lady Li, had long since ceased to concern herself with family affairs and preferred tranquility. Li Longchuan, on the other hand, would be more suited to visiting the Red Sleeves Pavilion...

Li Longchuan's body has journeyed across the seas, by land and sea, and arrived at the residence today.

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

So the news can no longer be kept from the old lady.

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

At this time of year, condolences should be pouring in, but the Li family is closed off to visitors.

That way, people wouldn't come looking for trouble.

Many people only send some gifts of condolence, expressing their sympathy.

Jiang Wang would never be locked outside.

He is someone who can attend family dinners at this house.

Compared to Li Fengyao, Yan Fu, and Xu Xiangqian who were still overseas, he arrived the fastest, going straight to Linzi. Because he was in a hurry, he didn't travel with them. Instead, he flew there at full speed all the way.

He had seen Li Zhengshu officiating at a funeral, the solemn and unspeaking Cui Cheng Hou sitting beside the coffin, and Cui Cheng Hou's wife throwing herself upon the coffin and weeping uncontrollably.

And last, he also glanced at Li Longchuan.

If there were any issues with Li Longchuan's body, it wouldn't be up to him, a half-baked coroner, to look into them.

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

He just sincerely looked at his best friend's face.

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

Once they were entombed, they would never be seen again. Never again.

>

The whole room is covered in white.

White banner, white cloth, white paper.

Though there were few guests in the mourning hall, each one was a person of great importance.

Now, Xiangjiang Ru Mo, Bo Wang Hou, Dingyuan Hou, Shuofang Bo, and Chao Yigong Wen Yan Yu, even Zang Zhiquan, a high-ranking official who has always lived in seclusion and whom even Jiang Wang hasn't met...

This was practically a private gathering of high-ranking officials from Qi.

There was also Huo Yanshan, the chief steward of the palace.

He is here, representing the emperor to comfort us.

“The Li family is a military family, death and life are common occurrences. Funeral arrangements should be simple. Please excuse any shortcomings in hospitality...” Li Zhengshu said as he was greeting guests.

Jiang Wang said, "I'll go see Grandma."

Then he entered the back hall and went to the backyard.

This should be formatted as:```html

Unlike any scene imaginable.

The old woman is eating.

A person, a bowl of white rice, a dish of small green vegetables, and a fat fish.

The old woman used her chopsticks to pick at the rice, eating small bites and chewing slowly. There was a kind of reverence in her way of eating.

Listening for any sound, she turned her head and saw Jiang Wang.

"It's time for dinner. As I get older, I need to take care of my body, and all three meals are important," she explained, waving her hand. "Come sit down, let's eat together."

He then instructed, "Bring another bowl of rice and ask the kitchen to prepare two more dishes. Fry some beef tongue and braise a beef tail... Ah-Wang loves beef tongue."

Li Longchuan likes to eat oxtail.

Jiang Wang sat quietly beside the elderly person, her posture obedient.

"Well done, child. I heard you were lost in the heavens, and now you've returned" The old woman looked at him.

"Yeah, I'm back." Jiang Wang said: "Some people, some things, I can't forget at all. I'm a greedy person, I can't let go of anything."

The old woman said, "After breaking free from the depths of the Heavenly Dao, you should be able to derive your own path. This step is crucial, truly ascending to become a celestial being. But why are you coming to Linzi at this time"

“Grandma,” Jiang Wang said, “I thought I’d come to Longchuan first…and also see you.”

"That's not right," the old woman shook her head. "The dead can't hold back the living."

Jiang Wang opened his mouth, but didn't speak.

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

When it came to anything related to Li Longchuan, he absolutely refused to hear the word "delay."

But who is more unwilling than this old woman in front of us

A bowl of rice has been served.

The old woman personally handed him chopsticks: "Since you've come, eat first. Eat your fill and then go chase your ambitions."

After a pause, she continued, “A jar can break even by the well, and a general can die even on the battlefield. You don't need to worry about me not being able to accept it. When his grandfather passed away, it was also so sudden - I was still pregnant with Yan at the time.”

“It came too suddenly,” Jiang Wang said. “This wasn’t something we expected. I never thought this would happen. I don’t know how to accept it.”

In the end, he could only repeat: "It came too suddenly."

Here is the translation of your text:

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

The old woman said, "It's time to eat."

Then Ginger gazed and ate dinner.

“Our Li family relies on military rations.” The old woman lifted her rice bowl: “Eat this bowl of rice, and don't complain.”

She continued to eat slowly and intently.

This meal, every grain of rice and vegetable, was earned by the Lee family with their blood and sweat.

>

She doesn't waste a single one.

We ate for a long time.

Jiang Wang finished the bowl of rice, and cleaned up the plate of beef tongue and the oxtail as well, showing how hungry he was.

There is currently no evidence to suggest that Lee Lung Chuan's death was suspicious.

But the negotiations between Qi and Jing progressed too quickly, treating Li Longchuan's death as a cold bargaining chip with almost no regard for the feelings of the Li family... He felt sorry for the Li family.

Just like back in the Netherworld, he felt aggrieved for his subordinates who had sacrificed themselves without knowing what they were getting into.

For many years, he has changed a lot. He is much stronger than he used to be. But there are also many things that remain the same as before, even the way he expresses his grievances.

This time, he came to Linzi intending to ask Lady Li what he could do.

Today, Li Longchuan's coffin was surrounded by high-ranking officials from the imperial court. The Li family could influence the political direction of this empire to a certain extent. They were naturally powerful and influential.

>

But in the specific matter of Li Longchuan, the Shimen Li clan might have many inconveniences, and today he has freedom beyond a certain limit.

He has already become the ultimate master of the world, about to reach the pinnacle of his path, he will surely surpass Li Yi's record and create history again – that is the position at the very top of the current world, no one can ignore his opinion anymore!

Under the circumstances of confronting the Heavenly People, he first went overseas to confirm Li Longchuan's cause of death.

After defeating the Tianren, he arrived in Linzi as soon as possible, willing to do whatever he could.

But Li Family didn't need him to do anything.

By the time they left from the residence of Marquis Dingguo, it was already nightfall.

I chatted with Old Madam Li for a long time. Mostly, she spoke and I listened. She told stories about Little Dragon's mischievous childhood.

It seems that when talking about someone's childhood, there's still a long way to go in their life.

But only with remembrance can one survive the passing of a real person. Except for Huang Wei.

Jiang Wang naturally had to return to the Chongxuan family, but after leaving the Li family gate, he glanced briefly and walked straight to a large sedan chair. He pushed aside the guards in front of the sedan chair, lifted the curtain, and looked at Huo Yanshan who was sitting inside.

Eye to eye, Huo Yanshan smiled in acknowledgment.

"Li Jiagang got into trouble. You staying here will make people misunderstand," Jiang Wang said rather coldly.

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

“No, no.” Huo Yanshan said softly. “I’ve reported to Cui Cheng Hou, I was waiting for you.”

"No one told me," Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow slightly.

"I told them not to notify anyone. It's not that important."

Jiang Wang just casually said, "Oh, what's up"

“The Emperor has summoned you to the palace,” Huo Yanshan said.

"…" Jiang Wang glanced at him.

That is indeed the least important matter in all of Qi.

Ho Yan Shan moved silently to the side. "Please," he said.

Jiang Wang then lifted the curtain and entered the palanquin, sitting beside this chief eunuch.

Sometimes when I think back on the past, it feels like it just happened yesterday.

> Though a long time has passed.

Things are not as they used to be.

All of the Han Ling around the emperor had been replaced by Huo Yanshan. This had happened for several years.

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

Is Linzi City still the same Linzi City

The place where the Emperor of Daqi was summoned was still in the East Hua Pavilion.

Jiang Wang was certainly not the way he first arrived here.

But the emperor has not arrived yet.

So he was still waiting here, alone.

He still spends his days in cultivation, waiting.

In the midst of practice, one is unaware of the passage of time.

Not until Huo Yanshan carefully pushed the door open and stood by her side did Jiang Wang open her eyes.

The emperor strode into the room.

Jiang Wang bowed deeply: "Grassman Jiang Wang, pays respects to the Emperor!"

The emperor casually raised his hand and said, "Forget it! You are about to become a true immortal. From now on, you will also be a sovereign, and you can see the sovereign without bowing."

Jiang Wangdao: "The commoner bows not to your majesty, but to the elder who is close to my heart."

The emperor waved his hand and sat down in his usual spot for reading: “I’m getting tired of hearing these words.”

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

Jiang Wang said softly, "The commoner hasn't returned for a long time."

The emperor let out a scoff. "You think you're the only one who can talk sweetly There are plenty of people who can speak more eloquently than you!"

Jiang Wàng said: "The commoner is only speaking truthfully, not flattering. You—"

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

"Don't explain, I'm too lazy to listen." The emperor casually took a scroll, opened it while reading, and casually asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time"

"It's been almost three hours."

The emperor lifted his gaze from the imperial edict and glanced at him. "You've calculated it rather accurately."

Jiang Wangdao: "I am not good at lying."

The emperor looked at him: "Are you here today to settle accounts Do you want to clear everything with me"

Please note: I've only translated the content within the > tags as requested. I haven't modified any HTML tags.

Jiang Wang bowed his head: "The commoner has nothing to offer the Emperor."

The emperor then withdrew his gaze: "You were also cultivating just now At such a young age, you've already reached this level of cultivation, why are you still so hard-working"

"Jiang Wangdao said, 'Your Majesty still says that you can't fulfill your wishes in this life, how much more so for Jiang Wang I dare not slack off.'"

Once upon a time, the emperor asked him what he desired.

He sought the method of attaining true essence, the invincibility of a genuine person, the removal of inner obstacles from his heart, and fulfillment in this life.

Now almost all of them are implemented.

There's only one left, "to make this life a reality." I will spend my whole life living it.

But how did we get here

Some people saw it, some couldn't.

Even the emperor fell silent for a moment.

The last emperor said, "Today, Yu Langjun is leaving the court to attend to his elderly mother. He will no longer come to the palace."
