Chapter 157: The Pleasure Is All Mine
g Xuan didn't notice the bitterness in his tone, because it was after all too faint, too distant."From now on, focus your cultivation and hasten the opening of the Heavenly Gates, exploring the Sea of...Jiang Wang gritted his teeth, about to try and quietly slip away. Of course, any movement would expose his presence, but staying put meant certain death. He had no choice but to take this gamble, hoping that Song Hengjiang was so lost in reminiscence that he'd overlook him.
But at this moment, in the cave within the room, the rambling voice suddenly stopped.
Immediately, an extremely terrifying aura erupted.
The elderly man in the cave at dusk immediately became a terrifying powerhouse.
Jiang Wang's heart pounded violently, and she almost instinctively wanted to flee, but rationality prevailed, tightly controlling her limbs, keeping her still.

A powerful figure like Lord Qingjiang, doesn't require such a grand display to be dealt with.
And indeed, he made the right choice.
The momentum vanished in a flash, and Song Hengjiang had disappeared into the cave.
As they were about to fly over the Qi Chang mountain range, Du Ruhui's figure suddenly stopped.
That wisp of breath had always been faint, coming and going as it pleased, so he was only pursuing a rough direction. However, it had been a long time since he felt anything after the last trace of it disappeared.
Heavenly Breath Technique lost response.
But the perpetrator must have existed and could still change, which proves they haven't escaped too far.
Du Ruhui took a step, arriving at the border between Zhuang and Cheng. He felt a moment of quiet contemplation. Before the border general of Cheng could muster his courage and take to the air, Du Ruhui shifted his steps and reached the border between Zhuang and Mo... Then came the un redeemed city.
Such a powerful figure, as he traveled through the world, stirred up endless reactions, but he himself remained completely indifferent.
The state of Zhuang, emboldened by its recent victory over the state of Yong, could and should exert some intimidation in the surrounding areas.
Throughout the entire Zhuang Guo territory, Du Ruhui moved quickly, searching diligently for that vanishing aura, but he found nothing more.

Hovered silently in the air for a moment.
He turned and stepped back onto the nameless green mountain. A powerful spiritual sense surged down, covering the entire hill.
Then his gaze shifted, falling upon the vast and clear Yangtze River stretching for eight hundred li.
One step forward, and I arrived at the gates of the Water God's palace.
The entire Qingjiang River seemed to gently sway, and a voice, ancient and majestic, echoed out. Song Hengjiang, the Water God of the Qingjiang River, stepped out from the palace gates: "Honorable guest, why have you come to my doorstep"
"Greetings, Lord Shui Jun! It has been too long."
Upon seeing Song Hengjiang arrive, Du Ruhui immediately bowed deeply, his posture full of respect.
Sòng Héngjiāng and Zhuāng Chéngqián were sworn brothers in their youth. According to the alliance they made when establishing their nation, Qīng Jiāngshuǐjūn and Zhāngjūn should have been equals.

Nowadays, only Du Ruhui perhaps regards Song Hengjiang as a king-level figure in Zhuangguo.
Last year, Qi Xuan, the head of the Qinghe County Criminal Justice Division, dared to act boldly on the Qingjiang River.

This was Song Hengjiang's strong response, forcing him to take responsibility for his own actions. It was a way to consolidate his authority.
But as Zhuang Gao's ascended to Dong Zhen and erected a soul-reviving stele in the Fallen Maple Domain, turning his head to personally visit the Water Mansion afterwards, everything had changed.
The surface of the Qingjiang River was no longer solely the domain of the Qingjiang aquatic creatures. Now, human merchant ships and warships also sailed freely upon it.

In the past, Song Hengjiang ruled over eight hundred li of Qingjiang, his influence spanning both banks. Now, the aquatic creatures of Qingjiang have to admit that Zhuang Juntai's control over the eight hundred li of Qingjiang is superior, even surpassing that of Song Hengjiang.
Actually, in the eyes of many people, Song Hengjiang, this Lord of the Clear River, has already reached a status comparable to that of the County Magistrate of Qinghe. His position has been steadily declining.
This time, Zhuang Gaoxian was breathtakingly beautiful and led the army to war. The Qingjiang water tribe also sent their elite soldiers out, joining forces with the Luocuo navy to fight Beigong Yu at Lanhe River, which is undeniable evidence.
And yet Du Ruhui, a grand chancellor and top-tier divine cultivator, the biggest hero in the war against Yong Kingdom, despite his victory over Yong, showed no arrogance. He still treated Song Hengjiang with utmost respect.
There's simply no room for argument.
But Song Hengjiang himself was very clear that Du Ruhui's politeness was purely a form of cultivation, a strict requirement he placed on himself in his position as prime minister.
If he truly respected Song Hengjiang, he wouldn't come unannounced and directly use his supernatural powers to stomp on the doorstep of the Qingjiang Water Mansion!
People of their stature wouldn't meet without prior notice; there's no reason to choose a sudden appearance.
This kick landed directly on Song Hengjiang's boot, no exaggeration.
"Duke Guo Xiang."
At this moment, Song Hengjiang was completely different from the aged man he had been in the underground cavern. He was extremely resolute and imposing, and he repeated his question: "May I ask what brings you here"
Du Ruhui's expression was also very serious, which showed his attitude towards this matter was very serious.
"Dong A is dead," he said.
Here is the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“Yes, the Deputy Minister is dead,” Song Hengjiang said. “The White Feather Army commander He Bade also died. Our Qingjiang Shui tribe soldiers suffered countless casualties, not even a name left behind. Children lost their fathers, wives lost their husbands, and the elderly lost their children. Do you think this is cruel”
He stared at Du Ruhui with eyes that were already somewhat clouded: “But this is war.”
He emphasized: "The war you chose!"
Deputy Minister Dong A was murdered in Xin'an City. Of course, he knew about such a big event.
>
But Du Ruhui specially came to the door to talk about this matter, which made him very angry.
Because this means the other party suspects that Qingjiang Shui Fu and Dong A's death are related!
However, the fact is that from beginning to end, Qingjiang Water Tribe has only given Zhuang Guo sacrifices! From hundreds of years ago to hundreds of years later. Did Song Hengjiang ever stab him in the back If he wanted to stab him in the back, he would have done it hundreds of years ago. How could Zhuang Chengqian have established a country Zhuang Guo wouldn't even exist! How could Du Ruhui have the opportunity to come and point fingers
But more importantly, he now had to consider whether Du Ruhui had come because he was misled and had gotten the wrong place, or if Zhuang Ting wanted to get rid of him after using him.
"Major national affairs lie in matters of sacrifice and warfare. Although war is cruel, the campaign against Yong is an inevitable trend and the only path forward for our Zhuang nation." Du Ruhui calmly stated his position, defining the significance of this war, setting aside casualties and focusing solely on its meaning.
"But the deputy prime minister's death had nothing to do with the war. I pursued his killer, and my investigation has led me here. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, Sir Water."

Song Hengjiang laughed angrily: “In order to cooperate with you in attacking Yong, I dispatched all the elite soldiers of the Qingjiang water tribe. Even my son Qingyue went to the battlefield. You tell me, who else in the Qingjiang water tribe left behind could possibly kill Dong'a Is his Two Realms Ruler just for show, and has his endless life force ceased”
Seeing Song Hengjiang so agitated, Du Ruhui cupped his hands and explained: “The righteousness of Shui Jun is known to all. How could Du not know Du did not come here to suspect the Qingjiang Water Mansion, but to worry that a villain might infiltrate the Water Mansion with ulterior motives...”
“Those are just idle words.” Song Hengjiang cut him off, his voice icy cold: “From what Duke Du is saying, he wants to search my Qingjiang Shui Mansion”

He has moved beyond anger.
The Qingjiang Shui Fu belongs to him, it's the Zhuang Wang Gong to Zhuang Gao Xian. No matter what reason, no matter what excuse, would Zhuang Gao Xian allow someone to search his Zhuang Wang Gong
To him, this was almost an insult!
Du Ruhui opened his mouth, with a belly full of wisdom and a mouth full of careful consideration, in the end, it all turned into a sigh.
With his intelligence, of course he knew this matter couldn't be discussed properly, and any further talk would be redundant.
But no matter what, he would never let the one who killed Dong A get away with it.
After a sigh, he straightened up and said respectfully: "Lord Shui's majesty is not something that someone like me can offend. If you insist on refusing, I will have to ask Your Majesty to make a judgment."
“Then invite him!” Song Hengjiang roared with fury, “Let’s see if the blood of the Qingjiang aquatic creatures is enough to smear his dignity!”
Qingjiang Shui Jun's words were naturally said in jest, but they also served to uphold the bottom line of Qingjiang Shui Fu.
