arriage was large and spacious, appearing simple and elegant at first glance. The foundation of the hereditary marquis's mansion lay in these small details.The carriage had only one horse, but it was...As night deepened and the dew grew heavy, the plaza paved with celestial white jade by Lord Taiyi shone even brighter under the moonlight. This, in turn, made the shadows beyond the plaza appear deeper and more profound.

The towering figure standing before the palace gate, in the very center of the square, was like a pillar bathed in moonlight.

In the profound shadows of the palace gate tower, armored guards stood with swords drawn, exchanging uneasy glances. Yet, none could offer a convincing answer.

It's really hard to imagine, the esteemed Marquis of Wuan is actually fighting them for their jobs today.

Although the guard might be more likely to offer silver... but you, a nobleman of such stature, would even look at it!

Their confusion and curiosity were all hidden behind their visors.

Just as the loneliness and scrutiny of this vast palace are hidden in the shadows, so is Jiang Wang unconcerned.

He thought a lot.

When he left the realm of illusions and was staying in the Lingxiao Secret Realm, on his journey from Yun Kingdom to Qi Kingdom... He kept thinking.

Now he stands alone, sword in hand under the long night, fulfilling the duty of a Golden Gourd warrior, forbidding any unwelcome presence, any undesired incident from disturbing the Emperor on this night.

>

On this night, nothing disturbed him any longer.

His bearing was excellent, majestic and imposing.

He remained ever vigilant, missing nothing.

He stood there, holding his breath, like a stone sculpture guarding the palace for millennia.

He did a good job on this matter of guarding.

If he wants to, he can do anything well.

But there's a saying, how do you say

"The course of things is beyond my control."

No one knew what the illustrious Grand Marshal Wu'an of Qi, renowned throughout the land, was thinking this night as he guarded the palace.

The armored palace guards only knew that on the day when the first sliver of dawn pierced the darkness, illuminating the sky, that figure resembling a stone carving finally moved.

In the vast Tai'e Heavenly Jade Square, there was an air of loneliness and emptiness at dawn.

All the light seemed to converge upon Marquis Wuan.

And as he turned in the morning light, he bowed once more: "Subject Jiang Wang, paying his respects to His Majesty!"

This time, the Emperor's response did not make him wait too long.

Or perhaps, the chief eunuch Han Ling had been waiting for a long time at the back of the palace gate tower.

Here's the translation:

"Here I am!" he stepped out and said.

Jiang Wang silently followed Han Ling, his armor transforming back into a blue robe. He shed the cold and imposing aura he had worn earlier. The imperial garden was deep and winding, with corridors twisting and turning.

Besides the guards in full armor standing on either side, there was no one else present.

Here's your text translated into English:

“Did the Marquis stand all night Have you come up with any ideas” Han Ling’s voice came from ahead.

Jiang Wangdao: "However, the duty of the golden melon warrior is rather mundane."

韓令走在前麵帶路，腳步不停：“有一件事，我覺得還是應該告訴您。”

"Go ahead and speak," Jiang Wang said.

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

"There aren't many people in the entire state of Qi who can see your Majesty at any time. Do you know, Lord" Han Ling asked. "It is my honor," Jiang Wang replied.

Han Ling continued, "And in the past decade, among those who could see Your Majesty at any time, there have only been two instances where Your Majesty expressed a wish not to meet. Does Lord Hou know what the other instance was"

"I would like to learn from the manager," Jiang Wang said.

Han Ling whispered, "Last year at the end of the year, General Jie Zhaonan returned to Linzi alone and informed you that you had fallen into the Frostwind Valley. The Grand Marshal immediately went to see the emperor, but the emperor said... he didn't want to see him."

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment.

The Emperor of Daqi refused to see the God of War of Daqi, clearly angered by Jiang Wang. It was crystal clear that he wanted Jiang Mengxiong to take a stance.

Indeed, since joining Qi, he fought bravely in every battle, risking his head on the sword's edge to earn each accolade. He believed he had earned everything he had.

However, he also had to admit that the Duke of Qi's rewards had truly reached their limit!

The emperor said he didn't want to see Jiang Mengxiong. What did Jiang Mengxiong do

Went to the Demon Realm, broke through Frostwind Valley, attacked Nantian City, fought a great battle with the Monkey Immortal Court, punched Xuan Nan Gong to death... Now still recovering from injuries.

Therefore, Jiang Mengxiong is the Great Qi Army God and the Grand Marshal of the Nation.

And how about Jiang Wang, facing the same sentence

This is a test.

After spending a whole night on guard at Shuyu Castle and fulfilling the duties of the Kin-gwa Samurai, what would he do

As the head eunuch, Han Ling, a close confidante who had served the emperor for years, only hoped that this young and ambitious Marquis of Wuan would not be too impulsive due to his early success, nor would he feel that standing outside the palace all night was such a hardship. That's why he made this point about Jiang Mengxiong, hoping that Jiang Wang would consider the emperor's expectations. The place where the imperial audience takes place is Delu Palace, the place where the emperor practices his cultivation.

A coiled dragon pillar encircles a stone platform, jade smoke hazy like mountains and seas.

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

The emperor wore plain clothes and sat on a high platform, as if he were above the heavens.

His majestic gaze fell, like a celestial river cascading onto the fields, illuminating snow-capped mountains bathed in sunlight.

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

In a voice that was not harsh, even bordering on gentle, he asked: "Marquis Wuan is eager to see me. Is there something you wish to report"

The great King Qi sitting there was the one who personally propelled the State of Qi to become a hegemon. He had led countless campaigns throughout his life, never suffering defeat. He defeated Baiyi Yuan and subdued the Loulan clan, achieving an unparalleled feat for the ages. Now, he has subjugated the Xia lands in the south and pacified regions near the sea in the east. His fame is greater even than that of Duke Huan of Qi! He shines like the sun traversing the heavens, illuminating countless miles.

Facing such an emperor who held eight swords and had the power of life and death, no one could remain calm and composed. Even that Eastern Palace Prince was extremely cautious.

The master of the Nangxin Palace also said, "He walks on thin ice."

The former most beloved Changsheng Palace master, who had also once held jade while naked.

If his bloodline is such, what more of his subjects

“Your Majesty, Jiang Wang is here!” With a flourish of his robe sleeves, Jiang Wang performed the perfect etiquette of a duke paying homage to the Emperor.

After the etiquette was taught by officials from the Ministry of Rites, he hardly ever practiced it, as it was quite complicated. The current Emperor of Daqi is not very interested in these things and generally avoids them if possible.

But today, Jiang Wang was so composed and dignified. Even though Han Ling reminded her softly from behind, "The emperor's place of cultivation, there is no need to follow the grand etiquette..."

He also performed the full rites with propriety.

Han Ling had already sensed that the atmosphere was unusual, and the emperor remained silent.

Jiang Wang walked past the ceremonial procession for a Duke, he raised his head and looked at Qi Tianzi sitting on the dragon-and-phoenix throne surrounded by golden railings!

He had entered the palace and paid his respects countless times, but this was the first time he looked directly into the eyes of the Celestial Emperor. This was the first time, in a true sense, that he saw the Celestial Emperor clearly.

The emperor of the Eastern Country, who holds the highest power in the world, is not always aloof and superior. Instead, his features give off a kind and approachable feeling.

He was handsome, the kind with clear, sharply defined features like those carved into stone. Indeed, in appearance, he resembled Jiang Wuqi more than anyone else. However, he was deeper, more aloof, and possessed a coldness that Jiang Wuqi lacked. Han Ling's breath caught in her throat.

The Emperor didn't feel offended at all, instead he watched Jiang Wang with a keen interest, as if expecting his expression.

You dare speak so boldly, boy

Jiang Wang took a deep breath.

He had always known that he and the emperor before him held differing views.

Every person has their own thoughts, and disagreements will naturally always exist.

>

But putting everything aside, he was a subject, and the emperor before him was his sovereign. How could a subject disagree with his sovereign

As a subject, one can have different thoughts, different opinions, and in many cases, can also express them.

But the direction of a vast empire ultimately still comes down to a unified will.

Being within such a massive national system, it's inevitable to have to erase a part of oneself.

He and the emperor in front of him had a long-standing disagreement.

For example, the case of Lei Guifei, who had been sealed for many years, as well as Lin Kuang and Wu Lie involved in this case, he did his best to restore the reputations of the two famous hunters and wisely stopped at the historical black wall.

For example, he refused the position of Northern Palace Commander in front of the emperor. And this time, he refused to kill Chen Zhitao and recruit Zhu Biqiong, rejecting the huge profits from the nearby islands. No matter what, no matter what Qi Xiao's intentions were, the orders he issued... In this war of the Mystical Realms, Qi Xiao was given full military power by Emperor Qi, in a way, she represented Emperor Qi!

The emperor can tolerate Jiang Wang's investigation into the Lin Kuang case, and he can also approve of Jiang Wang's restraint before crossing the red line.

He could tolerate Jiang Wang's unwillingness to relinquish his independence, his refusal to become the Empire's most ruthless tool, the one who carried out the Emperor's will without question.

But can he tolerate, Jiang Wang's true defiance towards him

Just as in the case of Concubine Lei Gui, if Jiang Wangru had ignored the situation and taken another step forward at that time, what would have been the outcome

Jiang Wang himself is also very clear about this!

The reason why Heavy Xuan was sent to bring him back, and the reason why the audience this time was cold. It's all because he, Jiang Qingyang, is touching, even has already touched the bottom line!

The emperor treated him with great favor, regarding him as a trusted confidante and heir apparent. He even held the war god in contempt because of his concern for his safety. It seems likely that this time, too, he will be lifted high only to be let down gently.

At most, it's just a deduction in salary.

But will this be the last time for such things in the Netherworld, such choices

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

Would Jiang Wang be willing to become even more "intelligent" and "smooth"

How does one respond to the wrath of heaven

The Korean prompt has already hinted that [Please do not copy and paste (similar to Baidu) as it will lead to content loss]

Very clear.

Li Mengxiong also demonstrated it very clearly!

"But I am Jiang Wang," he thought to himself.

Humanity trembles across the four seas, and waves ebb and flow.

The five viscera of the human body radiate with light, brilliant and dazzling.

In the Temple of Divine Incarnation, a towering figure with a divine soul manifested upon the altar. Its head hung low.

Her lips moved, muttering to herself: "I might do..."

"No, I will definitely do it.

"No, I have already done it."

" Let me know if you need anything else translated!

I did many things I didn't want to do.

"I have had many times, not really me."

Here, I will never get... my "true" self!

Then the divine form, sitting there, raised its head.

Please note that the original content was empty.

And in the Deer Palace stood Jiang Wang, bowing his head and raising his hands. In his hands he held a jade crown!

"I, Jiang Wang, today remove my Marquis' robes, take off my jade crown, and lay down my seal of office... I request retirement from the Emperor!" When Han Ling, the seasoned chief eunuch, witnessed this, he was deeply moved!

He thought perhaps Jiang Wang might be youthful and impetuous, perhaps feeling wronged, perhaps arguing with the Son of Heaven...

But he never expected that Jiang Wang would actually leave Qi State!

Regardless of Jiang Wang's current status in Qi, nor all that he possesses or will possess. There is only one question - does he want to die

At only twenty-two, his fame spread throughout the world. Could he be tired of life already!

The emperor remained silent.

Jiang Wang also did not make any other movements. The silence in the Lu Gong palace was as heavy as a thousand jun!

Even with Han Ling's cultivation, he found it difficult to bear.

After an unknown amount of time.

The emperor just opened his mouth, his voice was lofty and ethereal, without any emotion: "Duke Wuan is tired, Han Ling, send him back to rest."

Han Ling hurriedly stepped up to Jiang Wang's side and gestured, "This way, Lord Hou."

>

If he wasn't in the emperor's presence, he would have loved to immediately tie up Jiang Wang and carry him away!

Please note that the original text you provided was empty. I have translated it accordingly, but there is no content to translate.

"Your Majesty!" but Jiang Wang shouted out. He cried out with such heart-wrenching anguish, it was evident his emotions were raw, yet he immediately suppressed them, uttering each word carefully: "My path... does not lie here!"

The emperor watched him silently.

And he did not raise his head again.

>

He arched his back, exposing his neck, a posture of waiting to be slaughtered.

This reminded the Emperor of the child with a jade ornament outside Zi-ji Hall, and the autumn frost that had fallen.

Was last night too long, and was the wind too cold

If the youngest marquis of military merit in the world were to defect today, regardless of Jing, Qin, or Chu, they would all vie to take him in. Don't look at how some people are currently against Jiang Wang now, wishing to find any excuse to execute him. If Jiang Wang were to surrender, Daluo Mountain, Yujing Mountain, and Penglai Island would all throw open their gates!After leaving the realm of illusions, Jiang Wang had many opportunities to go anywhere he pleased; there was no constraint on him whatsoever.

But he honestly returned to the state of Qi, respectfully paid his respects, and earnestly requested to leave.

"Resignation" is surprisingly linked to "honesty."

Then the Emperor scoffed: "Only now do I understand why you insisted on guarding the palace last night. Jiang Wang, do you think that spending a night guarding the gates is enough to justify your position as Golden Gourd Warrior Do you think that by doing so, you've cleared things with me!"

As a young man from Qinyang Town, Qingyangzi, and Wuan Marquis, he raised his flag in Yangdi, excelled in the Huanghe River competition, triumphed as the celestial prodigy amidst the breathtaking scenery of Xingyueyuan, and on the battlefield of Qixia, he beheaded generals, seized flags, bathed in blood while clashing against cauldrons, pacified evil waters, returned alive from the ten thousand deaths of the demon realm, and even led his army to annihilation within the chaotic world.

As a seasoned chief inspector, he investigated the Lei Gui case until Lin Kuangwu was bestowed the title of Baron of Heaven and Earth by Emperor. He gave everyone, including Lin Youxie, an explanation before the red line drawn by the emperor. Even for a ceremonial position like that of the Golden Melon Warrior, he fulfilled his duty as palace guard on the eve of his departure.

Since the time of Marquis Huan, he has never missed a major battle in Qi. But if they were to die in battle, he would be the first.

Everything he won in the state of Qi was earned with every scar on his body. He deserved all his positions, all his titles, and all his salary.

But he just bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty's kindness and trust are immeasurable. Jiang Wang cannot repay them, nor can I ever express my gratitude fully. Precisely because of this, I cannot stay in Qi any longer."

"Do you really know what you're saying" the emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, I am overwhelmed with fear and at a loss for words! All I did was lose thousands of soldiers in the Saha Dragon Domain, wandering blindly without knowing where to return. All I did was admire the greatness of the Dragon Tamer, yet I couldn't figure out how to balance national interests with loyalty. All I did was fight side-by-side with Chen Zhitao and have a life-and-death friendship with Zhu Biqiong. How could I possibly fulfill both my duty and my loyalty...I! All I did was see the truth in my heart, but the further I went, the more lost I became. All I thought I saw was the path, but everyone pointed in another direction. Your Majesty!"

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

Jiang Wang's voice trembled: "Is my whole life going to be like this, caught between two difficult choices" The Emperor Qi on the stone platform pointed at Jiang Wang with his halberd and said angrily: "You are too presumptuous, Jiang Qingyang! You harbor a deep grudge!" He said, "Do you know that if I were to kill you based on these words of yours, no one would disagree"

> The grand Deer Palace is like the bitter cold of late winter.

The window hasn't yet been frosted over, but my heart has already turned to ice.

Even as a mere bystander, Han Ling felt a chill that pierced to his bones, so intense that even his blood seemed unable to flow.

Under the desolate emptiness, where there was nothing but solitude, only the word "kill" echoed repeatedly.

In the past, lords and ministers enjoyed each other's company, scolding and laughing together. Now all of that is gone.

At this moment, all Jiang Wang could feel was the majesty of the emperor. A naked, life-and-death majesty!

If the emperor of the Eastern Kingdom wants to execute someone, even Heaven and Earth cannot save them. This power surpasses millions upon millions of catties!

What can the shoulders bear

What can the spine bear

But Jiang Wang merely gritted his teeth and said: "Today, I am a subject of the Great Qi. Today, you are the ruler of all people. Life and death are not bestowed by Heaven, but held entirely in your hands. My life and death are at your disposal. But I cannot deceive you, nor can I betray you. I have seen my own path, and as clumsy as I am, I can only walk on this path. If Your Majesty wishes to kill me, I will die without regret. If I die pursuing the Dao, even in death, I will have no regrets."
