All parties are vying for the highest position.

The variable actually starts from the outside.
'Bang!'
>
Yu Lang's palm trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground, shattering into four or five pieces.
Unmindful of the tea splashing onto him, Yulan stared intently at the names in the urgent report.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qi Mansion, Ci Zhen Mansion, Zhongning Mansion...
Without exception, they were all the county towns of Luzhou. This time, the attack by the Daliang nation focused on Luzhou!
And the magistrate of Luzhou, Zhongning Mansion, was none other than Chen Zhenqing, Master Chen!
The mortal world is unlike the cultivation realm, where there are communication talismans and spells. War reports lag behind. When Da Liang Kingdom invaded, nearly every prefecture became an isolated city almost immediately. By the time the news reached the capital city, several days had passed. No one knew if the official army in Luzhou could hold off this surprise attack. What is the current situation in the city!
There are four states bordering the State of Yan and the State of Liang.
Of the four states, although Luzhou had suffered several wars, its strategic importance was not paramount. Logically, when Daliang invaded Yan, Luzhou would not be the first choice.
That's also why the troops Yan Guo stationed in Luzhou were not the most numerous.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
The prince, after all, is not the emperor. Interfering with military power is a major taboo. Yu Lang can only secretly work to provide Zhongning Mansion with more guards at most.
>
>The Great Liang Kingdom launched a surprise attack on Luzhou. There was no prior warning whatsoever. Even Yu Lang, who was close to the central authority, failed to obtain any related information. This shows how covert this attack was.
Caught off guard, how long can Luzhou hold out
How long can Zhongning Mansion hold out!
'Creak!'
A woman in a goose-yellow brocade gown pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a soup bowl.
The woman was beautiful, her bearing dignified and her expression gentle. She was the esteemed wife of Yu Lang, a match made through proper channels. She was the daughter of the Minister of Rites's family and her surname was Mu, her given name Yunwan.
“My husband, please drink the ginseng soup.”
Mu Yun Wan glanced at the porcelain shards on the ground, placed the soup bowl down, and said softly. At that moment, she suddenly met Yu Lang's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat.
What kind of look is that, lost, helpless, panicked, terrified...
In the imperial court, no matter how dangerous the situation, her husband always remained composed and collected. She had never seen this kind of look in his eyes before.
What happened
>
Mu Yun Wan extended her soft hand and gently held Yu Lang's palm, trying to soothe her husband with her own tenderness.
Yuláng ru mèng fāng xǐng, "Sòngxìn de rén hái zài wàicōu"
Mu Yunwan hummed in response.
Yu Lang suddenly stood up, quickly took off his official robes, pushed open the back window, and instead of going out the front door, he climbed out the window.
>
As he was about to leave, Yulang seemed to remember something and turned his head to instruct: “When Tao Teng arrives, tell him to wait for me in the study. Wait for me to come back before going to the East Palace!”
Even without using his spiritual energy, Yu Lang was a true master of the innate realm. His light kung fu skills were masterful, and he swiftly left behind a sentence before disappearing into the darkness like a nimble cat.
Mu Yunwan stood by the window, clutching the window frame tightly, staring at the pitch-black night, her face full of worry.
By the lakeside of Yuwaist Lake.
Qingyang Tea House.
Yulang left Qin Mansion and rushed here non-stop, using light kung fu the whole way.
An urgent message was placed before Xiao Wu.
Xiaowu wasn't as panicked as Yulan. After a moment of silence, he said, "Master won't leave."
Yu Lang understood his senior sister's meaning, seeming to answer, yet also comforting himself, "Zhongning Mansion is a walled city. Even if it's besieged by enemy troops, it shouldn't fall so quickly..."
However, they all understood that Da Liang Kingdom's sudden attack on the border must have been carefully planned. They would definitely seize the opportunity to gain the greatest possible advantage!
On the border, apart from a few major passes, so-called "prefecture cities" were largely fictitious. Some were even built on top of the ruins of old towns, and their walls were probably only slightly stronger than those of an average county town.
>
Yu Lang's voice was difficult, "There is a talisman on the master."
"The Master won't leave!"
Xiao Wu repeated the sentence again.
They gave the Master a talisman for protection, just to prevent accidents and ward off spells from cultivators. They could refine better talismans, but the ghosts and gods wouldn't allow it.
Even if surrounded by a million armies and with swords at your neck, amulets can't protect you.
Moreover, given Chen Zhenqing's character, he would surely share the fate of the common people!
“I'm going to Zhongning Mansion!”
Please note: I can only translate the text within the tags. If you have any other text you'd like me to translate, just provide it!
At the moment Xiao Wu pointed at his brow, a flash of inspiration struck him. With a 'bang,' a complex rune appeared and then shattered instantly, as if breaking through a seal. Xiao Wu's cultivation was restored!
The next moment, Xiao Wu vanished on the spot.
Splash…
The lake water rippled, and the sounds of the night were particularly clear, entering Qiyáng Tea House.
There were no candles lit in the room.
After Xiao Wu left, Yu Lang sat alone in the darkness. At this critical juncture when the political landscape was turbulent and unpredictable, he remained there for a long time without moving.
My senior sister went to Zhongning Mansion to save people. It is exactly what he most loathes about cultivators interfering in the mortal world.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
At this moment, he couldn't stop, dared not stop.
No matter what, he couldn't just stand by and watch Master Chen meet his end.
Even though he knew that if Master Chen insisted on staying, they would perish alongside Zhongning Mansion, his senior sister would definitely intervene to force back the Liang army.
The fate of humanity, the destinies of countless people, will be altered by my senior sister alone.
>
Yulan slowly bowed his head, clasping his own head in both hands.
There is a breeze blowing in.
A figure appeared beside him, it was the young man surnamed Shi.
Yu Lang not only didn't stop his senior sister from saving people, but also made two preparations. If his senior sister couldn't break the seal, he would ask Shi Ge to go to Zhongning Mansion.
Understanding the reasons behind it.
"Still don't understand Haha, you'll know later, there are many things in this world that are incomprehensible!"
The young man surnamed Shi let out a soft sigh and patted Yu Lang on the shoulder, “You should go back! If Master Chen dies on the battlefield, it would be a death worthy of his cause. You just have to speak the word, and I will slaughter all the Daliang soldiers for you. But your worldly experience this time would be meaningless. I think Master Chen, in the afterlife, would rather see you assist the crown prince in ascending the throne, strengthen Yan Kingdom, and defeat Daliang Kingdom openly and honestly, avenging him!”
The official road is full of fleeing people.
Today's night was exceptionally dark. The people were exhausted, barely able to move forward with any strength left in them. If they had a sliver of energy, they dared not stop. The enemy army was right behind them, and all they could do was flee, running towards the interior.
Little Five patrolled the sky, his eyes scanning the ground below.
Upon entering Luzhou, she followed the official road leading to Zhongning Mansion. If Chen Zhenqing and his family escaped from Zhongning Mansion, they would surely have taken this route.
At this moment, a familiar scent finally appeared in his spiritual awareness. Xiao Wu immediately descended.
On the side of the great road, a carriage was slowly moving forward. The carriage didn't look very luxurious. Driving it was a burly man with fierce eyes, at first glance he seemed like someone you wouldn't want to mess with.
A mother and daughter sat in the carriage.
The daughter snuggled in her mother's arms and fell asleep.
The mother held her daughter, her face pale with tears, her body swaying with the bumpy ride of the carriage. She stared blankly ahead into the darkness, her eyes unfocused.
>
This mother-daughter pair are Chen Zhenqing's wife, Mrs. Chen Liu, and their daughter.
"Master wife!"
Chen Liushi didn't notice Xiao Wu who had suddenly appeared. She was startled by the voice and turned her gaze, just regaining her composure.
A faint light flickered in the carriage.
Upon recognizing Xiao Wu, Chen Liushi's face was full of surprise. "Xiao Wu, how did you come here"
"Mistress, did Master not leave the city with you" Xiao Wu had a premonition, but when faced with reality, his heart was still incredibly heavy.
Please provide me with the text you'd like to translate. I can help with that!
“He found an opportunity and sent my mother and I out of the city, but he himself was unwilling to leave, vowing to share life and death with the people in the city!”
Chen Liuzhi tightly hugged her daughter in her arms, tears streaming down her face. Her voice was filled with sadness, but also a glimmer of strength and pride, “He did it, he kept his promise!”
Xiao Wu fell silent, gazing towards the direction of Zhongning Mansion.
Back then, Mr. Chen, after drinking at the Qingyang Temple, was enlightened and it's something I vividly remember!
Chen Liushi thought of something, reached into her bosom, and tremblingly took out a letter.
On the run, enduring hardships and trials, this letter is miraculously preserved, without a single crease.
“This is what Zhenqing left for you.”
This is a test.
Xiao Wu took it over, opened the letter, and found only eight words on it: "Die with the people, die without resentment!"
The ink was a bit smudged, clearly hastily put away before it dried. But even so, from the sharp strokes and strong lines, one could sense a powerful conviction and determination.
"Little Five..."
This is a simple request to translate content within tags.Please provide the text you'd like me to translate, and I'll do my best! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Then Chen Liushi hesitated and asked, "You...are you not ordinary people"
Little Five was far away in the capital city, and suddenly appeared here. Even riding the most divine steed, his speed couldn't be this fast.
When they were in Qicha Village, the couple believed that Daoist Qingfeng possessed an extraordinary bearing and was a high-ranking hermit. His two disciples were also outstanding individuals.
However, Chen Liushi was unclear just how extraordinary it truly was.
Seeing Xiao Wu nod in agreement, Chen Liu's eyes gradually brightened. "Can you..."
“I’ll go to Zhongning Mansion right now!”
Xiao Wu left a prohibition on the carriage and continued flying towards Zhongning Mansion.
With her cultivation level, she could reach Zhongning Prefecture city from here in an instant, but she kept her speed very slow, as if hesitating and afraid to get closer to the city.
Darkness shrouds the land.
Little Five flew alone, his speed reduced to that of a bird, and finally saw the city walls of Zhongning Mansion.
I still remember, when I first arrived, Zhongning Prefecture had been resting and recuperating for many years, gradually regaining its vitality and showing signs of prosperity. Now, within the city walls, countless torches illuminate the night sky, illuminating the broken walls and ruins, as well as the mountains of corpses and seas of blood!
Little Five fell on the hill outside the city.
Standing there, silently gazing at the city.
She tightly clutched the letter left by her husband. The paper was the finest Xuan paper from Yan Country, and with a gust of wind, it rustled like a white butterfly fluttering up and down.
Little Five remained motionless, like a sculpture.
Here is the English translation of your text: > Please note that I've only translated the text within the tags, as requested.
In the city, there is a scholarly air, but it has lost its vitality.
She came late!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Anger, sorrow, regret, self-blame, grief…
Xiao Wu couldn't tell how many kinds of emotions she had, it was too complex, even more complicated than when she was betrayed by Meng Yusuo in the past. She didn't dare to enter the city to face it.
What should she do now
Revenge
Little Five was a bit dazed, looking at the eight characters in his hand.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
She could easily slaughter all of Da Liang's armies, but what does that even mean
This is a conflict between two nations. If we were to forcibly seek out the culprit, from the sovereign ruler down to the common soldier, everyone could be considered responsible. However, no one harbors any personal grudge against Master Chen.
And, Mr. Chen had an opportunity to leave, but he gave it up himself and faced death calmly.
To die for one's country, to die for the people, I declare that death without regret!
'Splash, splash, splash...'
The night wind picked up.
"Master, what should I do"
Xiao Wu stared blankly at the deep night sky, finally moved, taking steps down the mountain. She didn't use any escape techniques, just concealed her tracks, walking step by step towards the city.
The city gate was broken, and the soldiers of Daliang Nation had no intention of repairing it. They were not planning to stay here for long.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On both sides of the grand avenue, corpses were dragged to the roadside and piled together, blood flowing like a river.
Little Five walked toward the government office, stepping on a blood path.
The city was unusually noisy, the Liang soldiers were celebrating their victory in a sea of corpses and blood.
Little Five's eyes were vacant, as if he hadn't heard those voices. He unconsciously came to the front of the government office.
The gate of the government office had also been broken, and a guard at the entrance hadn't noticed as a woman brushed past them and went inside.
The main hall of the government office.
>
Now a large sand table has been set up, with the entire terrain of Luzhou at a glance.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
In the grand hall, there was only one person. He was the Liang Guo general who led this entire army. Holding a candle, he carefully examined the sand table, intently calculating the battle strategy.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
Someone outside the door reported, "Reporting General, the identities of those corpses have been confirmed."
The general straightened up and said in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's really the Lord of Zhongning Mansion, and not a stand-in"
A voice from outside the gate said, "It's really him! This man is named Chen Zhenqing, and he's very influential in Luzhou! Mr. Zuo asked if we should bring the body back or chop off his head and hang it at the camp gate to greatly demoralize the enemy!"
"As for Chen Zhenqing, this general has heard of him even from Daliang. This man loves his people as his own children. Before the siege, there was a loophole, and many officials and nobles escaped. However, this man, being the chief officer, stayed behind and died in battle with his soldiers. It seems not to be an empty boast! Such a virtuous and righteous person, even after death, his spirit remains undiminished. How can we allow others to insult him!"
>
The general fell silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Give him a proper burial."
“Yes, sir!”
An outsider received the order and left.
Here lies the tomb of Chen Zhenqing, former magistrate of Zhongning Prefecture in Yan State.
Xiao Wu stood before the tomb, watching as soldiers from the Daliang Kingdom erected a monument for Master Chen.
She watched the entire process until those soldiers left before appearing.
After a long moment of remembrance, Xiao Wu finished paying respects to Master Chen and slowly loosened his grip on the paper with the message.
Finally, she carefully folded the letter and put it away, then walked out of Zhongning Mansion.
To keep Mr. Chen here forever, perhaps on this land, might be his best destination.
Little Wu found his master's wife and used magic to bring them back to Qiliang Village. They settled down.
She stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the Qingyang Temple on the mountaintop. She hesitated and finally did not go up the mountain, taking off in a cloud and flying away.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Above the white clouds.
Little Five gazed at the vast land, his eyes still a little lost and confused, unsure of right from wrong.
There was no direction in the flight.
Even she didn't realize it herself, she had veered off course from the capital city and flown to who knows where.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu's eyes twitched. He stared blankly into the distance, and a flicker of emotion finally appeared in his eyes.
'Whoosh!'
In an instant, Xiaowu soared over the mountains and appeared above a mountain valley.
Moments later, a white shadow suddenly leaped out of the mountain ravine and plunged into Xiao Wu's arms, letting out a call filled with familiarity and surprise.
"Wuwuwu..."
It is a white fox.
Unknowingly, another Chinese New Year has arrived.
Wishing all book friends a happy New Year, may the Dragon year bring prosperity and soaring success!
