mperor.At this moment, the massive stone buried deep within the earth exploded, booming and crashing out, ready to shatter the mountains and rivers."Come die with me!"With a snap of his left hand, he...Having spread the rumors throughout Linzi City, Chong Xuan laughed and asked, "How do you feel now"

Jiang Wang asked rhetorically, "Does anyone believe it"

"Why doesn't anyone believe you Because you are the pride of Qi, a hero of Qi. You raised the flag for your country at Guanhetai"

Zhong Xuan triumphed, saying: "The statues on the offering table are nothing but clay. They can be placed on a table or stepped on. You think you are invulnerable Even the golden bodies and jade marrow of powerful gods can be broken, let alone your illusory aura"

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

At first, Jiang Wang didn't mind, because it was mostly nonsense. But hearing Xuan Sheng say this, he couldn't help but ask, "Then now, how many people are stepping on this puddle"

“The whole Linzi is buzzing with this.” Chongxuan’s eyes were deep, he counted on his fingers, “Not only are there shouts in the streets and alleys, but even within the court some people want to file charges against you. Some want to issue a direct manhunt order, others want to thoroughly investigate Qingyang Town, directly interrogating those under your command… Even in the Tai Xu Jiao Lou of Tianfu City, someone wants to nationalize it, suspecting that you have ulterior motives!”

Jiang Wang smiled.

“Your smile is a bit ironic, don't you think” Chongxuan chuckled lightly.

"I just feel…" Jiang Wang said, “I risked my life in the Mystic Realm, I fought for Qi State at the Guanting. What I've done, the merits I've earned, should earn me some trust."

"Of course, some people trust you." Chong Xuan said, "For example, me and Fourteenth."

"You don't understand," Jiang Wang shook his head. "Your trust is more because of emotion. What I'm saying is, why would those who are strangers to me judge me based on just a few words, but ignore the things I've truly done"

“It’s you who doesn’t understand,” Chong Xuan said. “Many times, what people say has nothing to do with what they actually do. This world is like that, Jiang Wang. Can’t you see it yet When you are powerful, you stand tall above everyone, and everyone looks up to you. But when you lose your power and fall to the dust, those passersby won’t hesitate to step on you. It's just a matter of convenience!”

"Is that so" Jiang Wang's expression was complicated.

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

"The person who is holding you up today may not be the one stepping on you tomorrow." Chong Xuan Sheng suddenly laughed loudly: "Don't be so serious, Lord Jiang! I'm just letting you get used to it in advance. You can say whatever you want now as a high-ranking official of the third rank, and there will be more such things in the future! Although Qi is vast, the higher positions are very crowded. The higher you climb, the more you will experience!"

Jiang Wang pondered the meaning: "What do you mean by letting me adapt in advance"

"Chongxuan Sheng had no shame at all: 'It's fine that rumors spread you're a secret agent of the Pingdeng nation, but saying you're plotting to restore your country is quite impressive. You think anyone would actually believe those stories about you kicking widows’ doors in and digging up ancestral graves'"

"Why" Jiang Wang looked at him.

"I did it!"

Zhong Xuan was quite pleased with himself: “At the time, I didn't know if you were alive or dead, so I just handled it as if you were still alive.”

Jiang Wang roughly figured out his train of thought, but still couldn't help feeling a little irritated: "Even if you want to muddy the waters, you don't have to say I dug up ancestral graves, do you"

Zhong Xuan's smile spread across his plump face: "So you don't mind kicking in an old widow's door"

Jiang Wang choked speechless, after a long silence he said: "You really are something else."

"Don't you think it's over"

Zhong Xuan raised an eyebrow, a strange expression on his face. "There are rumors circulating that I have a penchant for 'bond with men' and that we're always looking for excuses to live together, from the Xiashan Villa to the Yaoguang Temple, inseparable day and night."

“This wasn’t me.” he added.

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

Jiang Wang was shocked: "Who did this What's the point of spreading this rumor"

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

"Who knows" Chong Xuan said nonchalantly, "The higher you stand, the more people you can see. And when there are many people, there are all sorts of individuals—some big, some small, some long, some short."

"Are you talking about people"

“Hahaha,” Chong Xuan laughed heartily. “Just livened the atmosphere a bit. Now, back to business, do you know where my ingenious stroke lies this time”

"Reacting immediately by stirring the water was already quite clever," Jiang Wang said, not without a hint of flattery. "Is there anything even more clever"

Zhong Xuan sighed deeply and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "It's nothing special."

But look at his expression, he clearly enjoys it.

After all, it's a flattering statement from the number one imperial household. It may sound stiff, but it carries weight.

"Although the water is murky and it's hard to see, you also know..." Zhong Xuansheng looked at him and said, "There are truly fish in the water."

"Yes," Jiang Wang replied after a moment.

Actually, even if he's accused of colluding with the Pingguo Kingdom and protecting the Yang clan remnants, even if he's blamed for destroying the entire household of the city head in Zhaoheng, he wouldn't care. Because he has a clear conscience, and the truth will always come to light eventually.

However, he couldn't face it calmly when it came to him covering up the fact that Hell had no gates and Yama was allowed into the city.

At the end of the day, because he actually did it!

Although the circumstances and state of mind at that time were different from now, what has already happened cannot be easily erased.

“No need to be coy,” Chong Xuan Sheng said. “At the time, our choices weren't many. You didn't feel a sense of belonging to Qi, and you needed to fulfill your promise to Yin Guan. And I really needed your help, so I didn't want you to leave Linzi. At the end of the day, that was a decision we both made together. In fact, I had plans for afterward, intending to send Yin Guan and his people to the Northern Palace, but Yin Guan actually didn't trust you, so he didn't give me the chance…”

Of course, no matter how many reasons there are, it's ultimately a problem.

Zhong Xuan smiled: “I thought time had passed. Since someone brought it up, then this problem can be solved.”

"How to solve it" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhongxuan asked, "Have you been paying attention to that rumor Or are you just ignoring it because you're guilty"

Jiang Wang frowned and slowly repeated: "They say I'm a killer for the Underworld's Gate, covering up for Yama from the Underworld's Gate to enter Linzi, and even afterwards, covering their escape. Even my Qingyang Town is one of the Underworld's Gate's strongholds."

Chong Xuan asked, “Are you the killer with no gate to hell”

“Of course not!” Jiang Wang said: “Yin Guan invited me, but I refused.”

Zhong Xuan Sheng asked again, “Is there a hidden base in Qingyang Town that is like hell with no gate”

"Of course there's nothing! Qingyang Town is clean and tidy." Jiang Wang said.

"Very good," Chong Xuan said. "The earliest rumors were that you shielded the Hell's Gatekeeper Yama from entering Linzi, and conspired with King Qin Guang and Wuguan Wang to kill the head of the Jubao Merchant Association, Su She... As for the rest, I added it myself."

“Rumors are rumors precisely because they lack a credible source and cannot be considered factual. Once spread, even the person who first propagated it cannot claim authority in interpreting it. Everyone has the power to explain it. Obviously, my additions make it more detailed, structured, and persuasive.”

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

"So" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhong Xuan Sheng said: "Out of all the rumors, this one is the most plausible, the most real, and the one with the highest chance of getting concrete evidence. It can be said to be your Achilles' heel. So soon someone will demand a thorough investigation of Qingyang Town, and I will mobilize political resources to do everything in my power to oppose it. But ultimately, things will go their way!"

That's when Jiang Wang completely understood.

Qianyang Town has withstood the scrutiny!

Please note that I've only translated the text within the > markers and left the HTML tags as they are. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Since Qingyang Town was never a station for the Gate of Hell, and Jiang Wang wasn't an assassin for the Gate of Hell, then his cover story about protecting Yan Luo during his arrival in Linzi is naturally just nonsense!

In fact, in this seemingly overwhelming tide of darkness, this is Jiang Wang's only weakness.

While Chong Xuan Sheng merely pushed with his hand, he smoothed it flat.
