Chapter 174: Honor

ing wounds, but a smile in his eyes.“I said I would come to win the championship, I said I would take on everything, I was boasting… I didn’t do it.”>Jiang Wang looked into his eyes, without saying an...During a long conversation in the military tent that night, Jiang Wang finally understood why Chongxuan Sheng had parted ways with Gao Zhe.

As for Gao Zhe, he didn't have much of an emotion. Even when they were playing together earlier, they weren't particularly close. Some fundamental things couldn't be concealed, such as Gao Zhe's latent jealousy towards Yan Fu...

It was just that later, this jealousy shifted to his gaze on Jiang Wang.

Since Chongxuan has made a decision, then we shall proceed as such. To sever ties is to sever ties.

Not to mention, Chong Xuan Sheng's understanding of the political landscape and his insight into human nature far surpass Zhao Guo's. Following Brother Sheng's lead rarely leads to missteps.

Some people always think that only those who are good at socializing are considered to have social skills. However, temperament is also a very important aspect of interpersonal relationships. Who to lose your temper with, under what circumstances to get angry, and how to express anger is a profound subject.

It was only at this time that Chong Xuan Sheng realized that Jiang Wang had not received his notice, but instead stumbled upon the Starry Moon Origin by chance and arrived in time for this great battle.

"I couldn't help but purse my lips. 'I thought you were deliberately using demonic methods to gain fame on the battlefield,' I said, 'But then again, you don't seem like someone who would come up with such a scheme... It must just be a coincidence!' "

Jiang Wang glanced at him, his eyes holding a dangerous glint: "You don't seem to respect the First Inner Palace, throughout history."

“Well!” Chong Xuan patted his arm affectionately: “I’m praising you for being honest and humble! You wouldn’t be capable of such flamboyant behavior!”

Shi Fourteen was right beside him. Jiang Wang gave the fat man a little face, not wanting to press the issue too much.

He just smiled: "Really I think you're pretty genuine and kind too!"

“That’s right!” Chong Xuan said boldly, “Otherwise, how could we be as close as brothers It's like people are divided into groups, and the simple-minded get together with the simple-minded!”

Jiang Wang wanted to say something, that it wasn't easy to meet someone you had eyes for. But after thinking about it, they hadn't seen each other in such a long time, it was better to keep things warm. So she followed up with a compliment: "Young Master Chongxuan is righteous and heaven-defying, who doesn't know that"

Zhong Xuansheng grinned and said, "Low-key, low-key, this young master doesn't like to be ostentatious. Unlike those with good looks who love to wear white."

"By the way, Jian Pu," Jiang Wang looked at him, a smirk playing on his lips, "I heard that someone offered me money for that peerless, heaven-grade talisman I placed in my fiefdom"

Most people would instinctively ask, "Who told you" They'd want to immediately find the informant and settle the score, exposing themselves completely.

But who is Chongxuan Fat

"I smacked my forehead naturally: 'My memory! You're right, I almost forgot! There was something like that. Your amulet had an accident... I got the compensation back for you!"

>

Having said that, he solemnly took out a knife-shaped coin and placed it in Jiang Wang's hand.

Jiang Wang glanced at the money in his hand, then at Chong Xuan Sheng, and then again at the money.

"What's wrong" Chong Xuan asked with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you buy it for a knife's price"

Jiang Wang was speechless for a moment.

Taking the opportunity to avoid the unpleasant, he politely looked at Fourteenth: "Fourteenth young lady, tonight is a beautiful evening. Why don't you go out and enjoy the moon..."

Alas, fourteen years have passed and I still haven't been able to see the moon.

Because they are currently at Xingyue Plain, and there will be a big battle tomorrow, almost every Tianjiao is taking the time to familiarize themselves with the army, understand the battlefield, and revise their targets...

He was engrossed in conversation with Jiang Wang, chatting until late into the night.

After leaving Chongxuan's military tent, Jiang Wang went to find his tenth camp.

Most of the soldiers in the camp were ordinary people who only knew some basic martial arts. Apart from the guard duty, most had already fallen asleep.

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

Lin Xian, accompanied by two others, was diligently patrolling the camp.

When Jiang Wang arrived at the camp, he was chatting with a sentry.

A good general cares for their soldiers in peacetime so that they will fight to the death for them in war... This is perhaps a necessary quality for a great general. In this regard, Lin Xian does quite well.

When he saw Jiang Wang from afar, he hurried over and said respectfully, "Sir Jiang."

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

At this point, Jiang Wang already knew that when he fought the four powerful demons alone, Lin Xian had been watching from the sidelines. He also knew how Lin Xian defended himself in front of everyone, saying things like "I am willing to be a dog for my disciples" and acting as if he were his fervent follower...

It's inevitable to have some mixed emotions.

“General Lin, you’ve worked hard. My brother Chongxuan and I have been talking for too long, wasting your time and leaving you alone here.”

“This is within my duties, I wouldn't feel burdened.” Lin Xian’s attitude was very humble: “General, do you have some free time now I would like to report the specific situation of our camp to you.”

“Just about to ask General Lin for advice…” Jiang Wang said, “Let’s talk about it in our camp.”

Upon entering the main general's tent, both parties took their seats. Lin Xian wasted no time and immediately said: "Our camp has a total of five thousand men, all valiant heroes with abundant blood qi, enough to support an ordinary blood qi army formation. Inside the camp, there are five teams, each with a thousand people, and the five teams are all cultivators at the Heavenly Transcendence realm..."

>For ordinary people, men and women do have differences in innate physical strength. Generally speaking, men's blood qi will be stronger.

And the battlefield of warriors is through mobilizing human blood and Qi to allow ordinary people to display superhuman combat power.

“Strength united, surpassing the extraordinary.”

Therefore, most common soldiers in the armies of various countries are men.

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

After transcendence, the innate difference in physical strength is erased. The deciding factor of combat power lies solely in each individual's cultivation level.

This is a sample text.

Therefore, corresponding to this, in the army, among officers of all ranks with extraordinary cultivation, there are no restrictions on gender, and both men and women are common.

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

Jiang Wang listened quietly to Lin Xian's introduction and gained a general understanding of the tenth camp she was in charge of.

There were a total of fifty extraordinary cultivators, which means that for every hundred soldiers, there was one extraordinary cultivator. For the Xuguo country, this was indeed a truly formidable main force.

These extraordinary cultivators are the core of connecting various blood qi battle formations. The other ordinary soldiers are the foundation of various blood qi battle formations.

If the army were composed entirely of Transcendent cultivators, they could naturally directly use various True Yuan battle formations. Of course, this doesn't mean that True Yuan battle formations are necessarily stronger than Blood Qi battle formations. It's just that Transcendent cultivators have more choices after all.

"I think I understand." Jiang Wangzan said, "General Lin has sorted things out very clearly... From a military family"

"I've studied some military strategy…" Lin Xian shook his head and said, "Making you laugh, sir."

Though he didn't show much, it was more than just learning a few...

Rong Guo truly sees Lin Xian as a future pillar, not just a martial artist with astonishing talent.

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then said: "I heard that you were also there when I fought with the evil demons in Dàn Hún Xiá"

“Yes, I used my freedom of movement to hide within the formation...” Lin Xian said with a touch of embarrassment. “I was fortunate enough to witness Master Jiang create a legendary battle.”

"Actually, I have a question..." Jiang Wang smiled and looked at him. "There was a time when I was very weak. Since you were watching me then, why didn't you take the opportunity to attack me"

Lin Xian fell silent for a moment, pursed her lips, then said, "To be honest, I've had such thoughts. You are Qi Country's prodigy, like a mountain, pressing down on me, making it hard to breathe. I did think about...moving away from you."

“But there are two factors that influenced my decision.”

"One was when you first entered Duan Hun Xia, you could have easily killed me, but you just let me keep my secret and did nothing else. That scene keeps flashing in my mind."

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

"One is your fear, even though you were in that state, I still felt you were unconquerable."

He knelt, his hands pressed against his knees in a gesture of submission, and confessed honestly: “To be frank, I don’t know if I respect you more or fear you more. I hesitated for a long time, unable to draw my sword at the time. I could only choose to quietly leave…”

Lin Xian finished her words and bowed her head to Jiang Wang: "This is the feeling of a weak person like me. If Lord Jiang finds it bothersome, I can leave the camp now. I understand that too."

>

Jiang Wang chuckled wryly: "General Lin, you overthink! A gentleman judges based on deeds, not intentions. When I met you at Duan Hun Xia, didn't I also have the thought of killing you and silencing you"

He honestly said, “There was a voice in my heart that told me—‘Perhaps killing this person would be the best way to keep things secret.’ But I also asked myself, ‘What crime has this person committed Is there any reason why they must be killed’ Although we belong to different countries, we are not on a battlefield facing each other. We have no grievances against each other.”

I think. This person must also be carrying the expectations of many people, and must also be cared for by many people. If he died, many people would surely be sad.

If I were to kill someone simply because I am stronger than them, without any just cause, where would the difference between me and a demon lie

Once I asked myself that, I had no intention of doing anything about it.

As the sages say, "A single heart can hold a thousand thoughts." I believe that both our good and evil thoughts are constantly being generated. Those fleeting moments, whether of goodness or wickedness, cannot determine who we truly are.

The choices we make at the end determine the color of our lives...

A person is defined by their choices. What you think doesn't matter. What you choose is what you are.

Lin Xian looked earnestly at Jiang Wang, and this time he bowed deeply: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years' worth of books. Lin Xian has learned a lot!"

Jiang Wang quickly supported him with his arm, lifting him up: "We are all the same age, just discussing life together. There's no need for such a grand gesture from Brother Lin!"

Lin Xian couldn't kneel any longer. He straightened up and sighed, "I think I understand now why you were able to achieve the first inner mansion in history."

“On the path of cultivation, the inner realm is just a small hill. Even if it’s the best in history, it can’t withstand a single strike from divine power. Today, with that sword that swept across the sea, I am powerless, like an ant.” Jiang Wang shook his head and said, “Don’t flatter me anymore. We are both just travelers who have recently set out. We should all strive to look further.”

Lin Xian pleaded earnestly, "Jiang Jun, your words today are wise and I shall not forget them. May I strive with all my might in the rest of my life and be able to catch up to you."

Jiang Wang was truly not a conceited or arrogant person. Besides occasionally trying to annoy people or being competitive during wartime, he would usually only boast a few times in front of his younger sister. He really wasn't used to Lin Xian's constant, fervent flattery, both explicitly and implicitly.

>

Even... some are a little shy.

“This time, the Star Moon Origin War, our opponent is formidable...”

Lin Xian said confidently, "I believe we will definitely win under your leadership!"

"I want to say, you be the general and I'll be your deputy," Jiang Wang said.

Lin Xian was startled and quickly excused himself, saying: "Master Jiang, do you have any displeasure with Lin Xian"

"No, no, no." Jiang Wang supported him, saying earnestly: "Quite the opposite! When we were at the riverside pavilion, I was very impressed by you. Please don't worry too much."

“I am speaking to you from the heart. To be frank, I know nothing of military strategy and have no idea how to lead an army into battle. While I am brave enough to fight on the front lines, I lack the skill and strength to command a whole army. To be your general feels like a great dishonor to me!

If it were just an ordinary war, that would be fine. But this time our opponent is the Jing Kingdom, the strongest in the world with deep foundations. It's not something we can afford to underestimate! I appointed you as the commander because of the importance of winning this war.

He had already made such plans, but only after further understanding Lin Xian did he make such a decision.

It is not a hypocritical trial, but a sincere yielding of the way.

Lin Xian stared at him for a moment, confirming that he wasn't putting on an act before letting out a long sigh: "Your realm makes me feel like I'm looking up at a mountain!"

“But I can't agree!” he said.

"Why" Jiang Wang asked.

"This matter has three things to be avoided," Lin Xian earnestly said. "It is the spirit of ten thousand soldiers. Everyone under heaven knows you, but I remain unknown. If you are a general, a thousand troops will readily obey. If I am a general, the hearts of the people will tremble with fear. This is losing morale, which is the first thing to avoid."

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

"In a chaotic battlefield, a solitary army is easily destroyed. The camp is divided into ten divisions, and the generals of nine divisions are all Qi people. You are the main general, everyone assists you, and I am the main general, everyone avoids me. This is losing momentum, these two are not desirable."

“As the saying goes, ‘when virtue does not match one's position, disaster will inevitably follow.’ My virtue and ability are inferior to yours, and my fame, status, and prowess pale in comparison. How could I possibly be above you This is a failure of virtue, and these three aspects are unacceptable.”

Having said that, he earnestly said, “Please don’t think like that!”

Although Jiang Wang still didn't think he had enough military ability, he was persuaded by Lin Xian after hearing his words. Especially the argument about "losing the momentum," it was something he could fully anticipate. The help from people like Chong Xuan Sheng was naturally unrestrained, but who was Lin Xian

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wryly smile and say: "But I have never read military books nor experienced war. I fear I might endanger the lives of my soldiers!"

"If Your Majesty trusts this humble general, allow me to take command of the troops." Lin Xian said, "Your Majesty is the banner, and I am the wings. The banner points the way, and I will lead the army straight in."

Since he had brought it to this, Jiang Wang didn't refuse any longer. He said, “Then let’s discuss it. Whether we can fight or not, and how to fight, you should put more thought into it. I am willing to be a sharp blade for our army, you say who to cut, and I will cut whom!”

All in all, the two parties came to an agreement. Jiang Wang remained as the main commander, serving as the banner of the 10th Camp. Lin Xian took command of the military formations, serving as the core of the 10th Camp.

The two chatted happily, and the more they talked, the more they felt that each other was trustworthy.

Many situations on the battlefield were discussed at this time, and several contingency plans were established...

Until the patrolling soldiers walked past the tent again, the two of them realized that a long time had passed.

"I will take my leave first, Your Excellency," Lin Xi stood up and said.

This time, Jiang Wang was no longer so polite to him, only smiling and saying, "Then I won't see you off."

Lin Xian smiled and said, "No need to send me off, no need to send me off."

He left his seat and walked out.

Just before leaving, he suddenly turned back and bowed deeply to Jiang Wang: “No matter the outcome of this battle. To be able to work with you, to be comrades-in-arms, is Lin Xian's honor!”

Having said that, without waiting for Jiang Wang's reply, he turned around and left with a stride, lifting the curtain.

The stars and moon outside were all pressed low, as if within reach.the pinnacle of talent. However, before the youngest living master in history, there is simply no comparison.As for being "lost" or "fallen", Li Yida would never experience such moments.“Well, that’s...
