Translator’s Notes: Wushuang was initially just a casual project for a total of 2 friends, when I just started out with translating work and went in blind. It was mostly rough translations until I took it more seriously after the first book was done. Therefore, I don’t doubt there would be mistakes riddled all over the first two books as well as inconsistencies due to inexperience, so... please be nice. In the meantime, if you notice any errors, please don’t hesitate to drop me a DM on twitter or drop an email to me here! That being said, whenever I get notified about an error, don’t be too surprised when I pop in to modify the translations a little :) This novel is free until Chapter 30, so if you enjoy it, please consider supporting the author whose link you can find here! On the other hand, if you are not enjoying the novel, please do not force yourself to read it. There’s no rule about it being compulsory to read Wushuang if you’ve read QianQiu/Thousand Autumns. Place your comfort first! EDIT (8/4/2020): I am beginning the edit of Book 1 at the moment. Those in spectral font (this font) are edited, and those in Monserrat are not.
Chapter 66 - Commander Feng Gives An Enthusiastic Look, As If His Only Fear Is The World Being At Peace Early morning the next day, Feng Xiao, Cui Buqu, and their company of four begins their journey once more from Qiemo to proceed to the Royal Court of the Sanmi Mountains where Khan Apa is. Once Gao Yi receives news of their journey, he wants to send them off in person, but Cui Buqu rejects it. Since their company only has four people and they are tasked with something important, it is not convenient for them to be bombastic about it. Ever since this incident in Qiemo, they have abandoned their disguises and exposed themselves; not only did they gain a new enemy like the Yunhai Thirteen Stories, but they have not yet resolved the case pertaining Fo Er. In this long journey ahead, protecting Jin Lian’s safety until they arrive at the Royal Court of Göktürk is not an easy feat. However, as expected, from the moment they left Qiemo, arrive in Kucha and rest for a few days, before moving forward to the foot of the Sanmi Mountains until they enter the Royal Court’s territory and see the Göktürk banner swaying in the wind, everything has gone smoothly throughout their journey without fear or danger. Even Jin Lian feels that everything went by a little too well, she could not help herself asking Cui Buqu, “Could it be that Fo Er has given up on assassinating me?” Cui Buqu says, “Before seeing Khan Apa, it is too early to judge anything. Tell me first, how is Khan Apa as a person?” Although the Zuoyue Bureau has their own ways of obtaining information, no matter what regardless, it cannot be compared to having Khan Apa’s own bedside person, for she is one among those who knows the Khan the best. Jin Lian says after a while, “He... actually, he is sort of a fool.” Cui Buqu raises an eyebrow. In the Zuoyue Bureau, he has heard many things pertaining to this man they call the Khan Apa, most of them came from people who are often by his side. Among them, the most ordinary and common ones are that the Khan Apa is an incredibly suspicious and envious man, his ambitious desires are great, and there are also Han people who are formally their spoils of war yet had escape back to Han lands used the world ‘devil’ to describe his passion for blood.
Jin Lian has always been on guard on the journey here, until now only did she finally bring this up to Cui Buqu. “There are many clans in Göktürk, and there are also many Khans, just like the Spring and Autumn period in the Central Plains, every country to each their own. Opening war with each other is very common. Today you may be the Khan, tomorrow I might become the Commander. These are not strange to see. Ever since Khan Ishbara rose to power, he divulged his intentions to conquer all the surrounding kingdoms for himself and unite Göktürk into one. It is not that Khan Apa does not know of this, sometimes other than war, there are lots of ways to let someone die, so, people who often dwell by the Khan’s side are changed from one batch to a new one from time to time.” Cui Buqu nods his head. He has heard of this matter before. When she speaks until this point, Jin Lian could not help sighing a little, “In fact, the Khan’s personality is a little ambitious. Before I left the Royal Court to come to the Central Plains, he ordered me to train a group of female bodyguards, he says that the loyalty of women are more reliable than men, so they could guarantee his safety.” Feng Xiao yields a strange look, “How is your Khan’s opinion of the beauty of women?” Jin Lian answers him straightforwardly, “Everyone holds a love for beauty, the upper class royalties may hold lust for beauty, and so does the lower class citizens. Therefore, how is the Khan any exception?” This Kedun Jin Lian is indeed beautiful even for her age. Between her brows she holds some frost, and she is even quite knowledgeable since she often aids Khan Apa in managing the country’s politics and gained his trust and admiration. However, at the end of the day of the day, she is still only the Khan’s concubine and would worry that one day he would become disinterested in her. It could be said that she was worried that when she sets out to pull Khan Apa and the Sui Empire together, she would be betrayed when she is not in Göktürk, so these group of female bodyguards can both be used to maintain her status, as well as serve as her spies. Until this moment, Cui Buqu vaguely understood everything. This Khan Apa is only a man with an ordinary set of skills, loved the beauty of women, and possess a heart that is heavy of suspicions. Although there are many clans in the Western and Eastern Göktürk, after Khan Ishbara rose to power, Khan Apa did not think of how to overcome the problem, but he has been watching in sitting to see the fluctuation of power between the Sui Empire and Khan Ishbara. This could be seen that his heroic endeavours are insufficient, and although he still possesses ambitions, they have diminished due to age.
