Qin Dynasty: Starting with clinging to Zhao Ji's thigh

Chapter 294 That depends on the Grand Marshal's abilities.

Upon hearing the message from Lord Changxin, Wei Yong was slightly taken aback, but he didn't find it strange.

After all, Lord Changxin was the true master of the behemoth that was the Luo Wang, and he had a thorough understanding of intelligence about the world.

"I wonder if Lord Changxin has any way to help me get rid of this troublesome Lord Longyang?"

Wei Yong was somewhat disappointed that Luo Wang was unwilling to forcibly kill Longyang Jun.

However, he was still very interested in the method provided by Changxin Jun.

Back then, Wei Yong was able to eliminate the two formidable figures, Lord Xinling and the Grand General, in one fell swoop thanks to the strategy provided by Lord Changxin.

It was from then on that Wei Yong gradually seized power in the State of Wei and rose to his current position step by step.

Now that Luo Wang can no longer directly assassinate Longyang Jun, Changxin Jun has provided him with another plan.

This scene seemed somewhat familiar to Wei Yong!

"Does the Grand Minister of Works still remember the time when Lord Xinling stole the tally to rescue Zhao, thus angering the king?"

"The envoy sent by the State of Zhao is already at the post station in Daliang."

Hei Bai Xuan Jian had been following Ying Jing around for many years, and had even picked up his speaking habits.

Did Lord Xinling steal the tally to rescue Zhao?

Wei Yong frowned, having roughly understood Ying Jing's meaning.

“Lord Longyang is not Lord Xinling. Moreover, given the current situation, with Qin coming on strong, the King will surely agree to send troops to help Zhao. There is no need for Lord Longyang to steal the Tiger Tally.”

The Qin state is advancing at an incredibly fast pace!

Leaving aside the fact that South Korea surrendered entirely, the State of Zhao, a powerful nation that had fought fiercely against the State of Qin for a long time, was now easily defeated and faced the prospect of being annihilated in a single battle.

Under these circumstances, even if the King of Wei did not want to offend the powerful Qin state, he had to consider sending troops.

Otherwise, if the State of Zhao is lost, the next most likely target will be the State of Wei.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian remained expressionless: "Then we'll see if the Grand Minister of Works has the ability to persuade the King of Wei to refuse to send troops."

"You're making things difficult for this old man!"

Wei Yong's brows furrowed even deeper. If he could influence the King of Wei, why would he be bothered by a mere Lord Longyang?

The King of Wei had long harbored resentment towards him, and the more he advised him, the more determined the King of Wei would become to send troops.

Ever since that Lord Longyang returned from his trip to Korea, I don't know how he managed to win over Empress Dowager Leling again.

King Wei, Lord Longyang, and Empress Dowager Leling all joined together to suppress him in every way.

Many of the officials who had gathered under Wei Yong's command have now dispersed, making it impossible for them to influence the court situation with a single word as they once did.

"Since the Grand Minister of Works cannot influence the King of Wei, why not consider the envoy from Zhao?"

An envoy from the State of Zhao?

Yup!

Wei Yong's eyes suddenly lit up; this was indeed a promising idea: "I'll send someone to kill him right away!"

Upon hearing this, even Hei Bai Xuan Jian, who had seen all sorts of brainless yet high-ranking officials and nobles in his career as an assassin, couldn't help but be stunned.

Is it possible that Wei Yong only has one thought in his mind: to kill people directly?

How did he manage to get to where he is now?!

Oh, it was Changxin-jun who helped him out, then it's alright.

Killing a Zhao envoy is not difficult, but if the King of Wei intends to send troops, it would be pointless to do so.

"The Net will activate all the spies planted in the Wei King's palace to steal the Tiger Tally and secretly place it in the post station where the Zhao envoy is staying."

"The Zhao envoy has met with Lord Longyang several times recently, presumably to request military assistance. I believe the Grand Minister of Works should know what to do next."

To prevent Wei Yong from coming up with some outrageous ideas with his "astounding wisdom," Hei Bai Xuan Jian simply explained the entire plan clearly.

Wei Yong was overjoyed: "That's right, although Your Majesty is not the former king, this theft of the tally must have angered Your Majesty."

"Lord Longyang conspired with the envoy of Zhao to steal the tally... This plan is brilliant!"

As for the Zhao state being defeated without support, what does that have to do with Wei Yong?

However, Wei Yong was so surprised that he didn't realize that... at this moment, Hei Bai Xuan Jian's eyes were filled with only mockery and indifference.

Among the top-ranking members of the Luo Wang organization, only Hei Bai Xuan Jian, a former notorious bandit, truly possesses the ability to stand alone.

Of course, Zhao Gao, or rather, Yan Ri in modern times, also possessed this ability.

However, the situation in Baiyue is equally important to Ying Jing, and he needs someone as capable as Yan Ri to keep an eye on it.
