The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"However, a mere martial arts performance has the two Heavenly Generals, Zhu Ming and Yao Qing, coming together. I'm afraid it's not just for viewing. Elder Yan, do you have any instructions for the Marshal this time?"

"Jing Yuan also knows that things are not that simple."

"It's not that simple for Jianmu to grow! It's impossible for others to just believe what he says!"

"Is the truth as Jing Yuan reported, or is Jing Yuan using the excuse of 'Jianmu's growth' to eliminate dissidents? Or is it that the true Medicine King's secret teachings belong to Jing Yuan, but his plan failed, so he pushed a group of people to take the blame..."

"In short, there are many possibilities."

"If Jing Yuan heard about similar incidents on other immortal boats, he would also have corresponding considerations."

"Therefore, Jing Yuan does not feel wronged because he feels that he is not trusted."

"This is a matter of great importance, and a proper investigation is necessary."

"Besides, Jing Yuan is upright and honest, so why should he be afraid of a little investigation?"

"Is it really that complicated? I thought they were just here for fun."

Liu Chan's eyes widened.

The tricks in the city are complicated, so this country place is better.

...No, actually, his tricks here are quite complicated.

It's just that his father-in-law helped him block it, so he could play with crickets in peace.

"Jingyuan, you're being overly suspicious. I told you I came here just to show the child the world. I have no intention of making irresponsible remarks about Luofu's situation."

"But General Yaoqing's plans are also not something I can comment on."

"Remember? At the beginning of your tenure, I told you, 'The Imperial Bow General's battlefield isn't limited to the Immortal Boat.' Fighting on the battlefield, mediating internal affairs... the title of General carries far more weight than its literal meaning."

"All these years have passed, and you've always done well. But for the Immortal Boat people, living too long is a curse. It means every mistake you make in life is lurking in the shadows, waiting to catch up and consume you."

"The Marshal knows everything that happened on Luofu. And Yaoqing's General Tianji... she is coming for you."

"Huai Yan's words clearly show his attitude. He is not here to investigate the situation, but to appease Jing Yuan so that he won't feel dissatisfied."

"Jing Yuan knows this very well."

"Two generals, one upright and unyielding, came to investigate the details, while the other, a seasoned and prudent senior, was just the right person to comfort me... The two generals' actions complemented each other perfectly."

Jing Yuan's lips curled up into a smile. Although he already knew that this kind of investigation was necessary, he was relieved that the marshal was so considerate of his feelings and even sent a general to comfort him.

"Huh? So many twists and turns?"

Xiang Yu's head was numb after hearing this.

Can't you be more honest and just kill whoever you dislike?

…………

"But, this General Tianji... doesn't seem to have arrived yet." Jing Yuan was also helpless, wondering where the Yaoqing general had gone."

"Hahaha, that's really strange." Huai Yan laughed heartily. "They say Yao Qing's General Tianji is always as powerful as thunder and strikes first. Being so late today is not her style."

"You two generals are wrong. I arrived early this morning, but I'm sure you've heard that she has always had an unrestrained temperament."

"The person who suddenly spoke was a pink-haired fox... a male fox with squinty eyes. He looked very sinister."

"Beside him is a man wearing a purple hooded outfit. He appears to be an assassin."

The man in the purple hood said, "She immediately boarded the Star Chariot and disappeared, saying she had something to do. We couldn't stop her."

"I suppose you two are the messengers of the Yaoqing Immortal Boat?" Jing Yuan asked.

"Jiaoqiu and Moze, the staff of General Tianji, pay their respects to the two Heavenly Generals." Jiaoqiu, the pink-haired fox, saluted.

"Oh, why is it a male fox?" Li Longji sighed.

Just looking at this face, if it were a female fox, I wonder how beautiful she would be!

A vixen only looks good if she is a female!

"Huh? Wait, who said male foxes can't do that?"

Li Longji instantly felt as if he had opened a forbidden door.

…………

"Haha, that's interesting. A guest doesn't come directly to see the host, but instead sends a message. What's the story behind this? Tell me, what could be more important than coming here?"

"Before Jingyuan could even speak, Huaiyan had already spoken up for him."

"It's clear that General Huaiyan is faithfully fulfilling his duties—appeasing Jingyuan and trying his best to prevent him from feeling even a little bit dissatisfied."

"I heard that a marvelous sight has recently appeared in the Linyuan Realm above Luofu. It's quite spectacular. I think he went there to enjoy it."

"Jiaoqiu said it very nicely."

"High EQ: I went to enjoy the scenery. Low EQ: I went to the crime scene to investigate."

"Hahahahaha." Huai Yan laughed out loud. "What a 'strange sight'! Let me translate it for you. Jing Yuan, this kid is being sarcastic with you."

"General Huaiyan, you're too kind," Jiaoqiu said, apprehensively. "I was merely conveying the truth. My general, considering it inappropriate to keep you waiting, has sent us here first... After she's finished admiring the scenery, she'll personally visit and apologize."

"At the same time, outside the Sichen Palace..."

"Come to think of it, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like the general is a little... well, a little reserved today. Is it because of that visit from Mr. Huai Yan?" Yan Qing said, feeling a little uneasy.

"Reserved? Really?" March Seventh remained clueless as always.

"Yanqing: "Maybe Yanqing is just being overly suspicious."

"You're not suspicious," Dan Heng shook his head. "Only after entering the Sichen Palace did I realize that the Zhu Ming Xianzhou envoy you were referring to was actually General Zhu Ming himself. So, the envoy who invited the Xianzhou must be General Tianji? This is what makes this whole thing so unusual."

"What's so unusual about this? Didn't they just receive an invitation from Jing Yuan, just like the train crew?" Sanyueqi's eyes were filled with clarity.

"The martial arts ceremony was just a festival. How could two generals from other immortal ships come together to visit? I'm afraid there must be another reason. They must be here to ask for accountability for the Jianmu disaster." Dan Heng knew the answer clearly.

"Accountability?" Sanyueqi's eyes widened. "That's not the case. The bad guys from the Medicine King's secret teachings and the antimatter army invaded Luofu and wreaked havoc. Wasn't Luofu a victim? How can the victim be held accountable?"
