The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 115: Ghost Valley Past Part
Wei Liao sighed, "Because of this incident, my senior brother was plotted against by Xu Jia, suffered humiliation and nearly died. He was completely disappointed with the State of Wei, which could not tolerate talented people from humble backgrounds. Later, he went to the State of Qin with great difficulty, and was recognized by King Zhaoxiang. He finally got his revenge and realized his ambitions."

"My senior brother has always been a man of strong character. He will never let go of a grudge, no matter if it's a favor or a grudge. He is like this both when he succeeds and when he fails. Fortunately, he met a wise ruler who finally made him think of retreating. This is how he was able to return to Guigu to retire in peace."

"After I left the army, I wanted to go to Qin State. Unfortunately, my senior brother had just entered Qin after suffering a disaster. I didn't want to compete with him, but after looking at all the countries, I found that there was no other country worth assisting. So I traveled around the countries, made friends everywhere, and lived in seclusion in Guigu from time to time. This is why I dared to talk about the alliance between the two countries."

Ying Zheng exclaimed: "You have spent decades sharpening your sword. When you unsheathe it, the sound will surely shake the world."

Wei Liao smiled modestly and said, "I just acted according to my heart. I don't deserve the king's praise. My connections can only be useful if I rely on a strong country and hold a high position."

Ying Zheng then praised: "You are prepared for a rainy day, that's a true talent, please continue."

Wei Liao nodded and said, "Ten years ago, my senior brother returned to Guigu, and we brothers had a peaceful life again. My senior brother couldn't stand loneliness, and a few years later, he went out and found two good seedlings to take as his disciples, saying that he wanted to train them better, and kicked me out. I don't know how he wanted to train me."

At this point, Wei Liao was a little angry: "He is teaching alone, will it be better if the two of us teach together?"

Ying Zheng laughed: "Maybe Fan Qing is worried that if two people teach together, it will be hard to tell whose disciple is whose."

Wei Liao also smiled: "I have never argued with you in my life, but I don't want to lose either. After you left Qin, I wanted to go back to Qin, but you stopped me, saying that the time was not right. Now it seems that you are wise. Today, I am lucky to meet the great king."

Ying Zheng said modestly: "It is my great fortune to meet you, Wei Qing. You and I will surely become a famous monarch and minister like the previous king."

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng asked again: "By the way, I heard that Guiguzi in all generations only accepted two disciples, one vertical and one horizontal, and the two disciples were destined to fight each other. Is it true or false?"

Wei Liao replied, "Guigu Sect is a small sect. It is true that they only accept two disciples, but that is because the requirements are too high. Moreover, it is very difficult to train talents. We don't have the energy to have more. Just like our master, who wears the seal of the Six Kingdoms and is busy with all kinds of affairs, how can he have too much time to train disciples?"

"It is nonsense to say that they are destined to fight. They all serve different masters. Some of them have bad relationships. For example, Sun Bin and Pang Juan naturally fought to the death. However, the relationship between my master and my uncle Zhang Yi is extremely close."

"The same goes for me and my senior brother. I don't want to compete with him. There will always be other opportunities."

Ying Zheng nodded: "So that's how it is. The Guigu Sect is also remarkable. Generation after generation of heroes have stirred up the world's storms and have been invincible."

Wei Liao smiled slightly, not being modest: "Guigu Sect is a small sect. If you want to survive in this cruel and chaotic world, you naturally have to know more. A strategist who is not good at military tactics is not an excellent Guigu disciple."

Ying Zheng laughed and agreed repeatedly.

He added: "Since Mr. Fan has accepted two disciples, they will surely be great talents in the future. Please ask Mr. Wei to pass a message to Mr. Fan. He has a clear understanding of the general situation in the world. When the two disciples come out of the mountains, they can come directly to Daqin. I will definitely not treat them unfairly, and I will also prevent them from wasting their time or even going astray."

Wei Liao replied: "I obey your command and will definitely inform my senior brother. I would like to thank the king on his behalf. I am sure you think the same way." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.

After Wei Liao left, Ying Zheng asked people to settle him down. When he was preparing to go and pick up Wei Liao in person, Ying Zheng had already made all the arrangements.

Ying Zheng now understood why Gai Nie was able to become the chief swordsmanship teacher of the King of Qin as soon as he came out of seclusion. Come on, this position is something that people in the martial arts world would fight for.

At that time, Gai Nie was not a sword saint, and he did not have the qualifications or the ability. He was still a young man, and even with the title of Guiguzi disciple, it would be difficult.

They all have good masters, who pave the way for their disciples.

It seems that Wei Zhuang is not smart and is young and hot-tempered. He had to go to Korea and get beaten up before he faced the reality. Then he became cynical. Well, just like his master when he was young.

Now I understand why Wei Zhuang established his own underground power so quickly after arriving in Korea. Such a big Zi Lan Xuan was not built in a day or two, and it was not something that a Zi Nu without a backer could have supported. It is impossible to open a nightclub without a backer, let alone a high-end brothel and an intelligence organization.

Zi Lan Xuan was already there before Wei Zhuang went there. It seems that it is very likely that Fan Sui and Wei Liao paved the way for their child. After all, Gai Nie had an easy start, while Wei Zhuang was courting death and would surely lose. He must be helped out, otherwise his body would be seen in the mass grave outside Xinzheng city in a few days.

I said hello today, and I hope you won’t mess around in the future. You have messed around all your life, but you have gained nothing but pain.

You two should just come to Daqin and serve me honestly. You will surely enjoy wealth and glory, which is much better than before.

I am a really kind-hearted person, and it is another day of doing good deeds.

I really doubt whether Fan Sui felt that the world would definitely be unified and that the strategists were no longer useful, so he could just teach them casually. Otherwise, why did he teach them to become two swordsmen and warriors? I don't understand. Was it intentional?

At the court meeting the next day, Ying Zheng announced that Wei Liao would become the Wei of the Great Qin State. The ministers were not too shocked. After all, the commotion of Ying Zheng personally welcoming the talented person yesterday was so loud that everyone knew about it. If they didn't know this little news and were so uninformed, it would be better for them not to be officials.

After the court meeting, Ying Zheng invited all the regent ministers to give a detailed introduction to Wei Liao, and also appointed Wei Liao as the Minister of State for the Council of State, and formulated a grand strategy for the six countries.

Everyone was also shocked. They didn't expect that he was a disciple of Guiguzi. There was basically no problem with his ability. It was a pity that there was one more person in the highest power group. Oh, not too many, Changping Jun was kicked out, and there was one less person, Yang Duanhe was also kicked out.

Ying Zheng finally found an opportunity. After all, Changping Jun had the least age, qualifications and even ability. The reasons were all reasonable. In order to prevent Changping Jun from feeling too unbalanced, and to achieve the most important balance of power, Yang Duanhe was also kicked out. Anyway, Yang Duanhe was just there to make up the numbers, and he had proved during this period that it would be the same with or without him.

Kicking someone out is also to demonstrate authority invisibly, and it is necessary for the regent ministers to make fine adjustments from time to time.

Changping Jun wanted to cry but had no tears. He really cried alone at night.
