The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 152 Wei Yong, a tough guy

During the peace talks between Qin and Wei, Qin achieved both strategic and tactical goals, and knocked a chess piece towards Wei's core power. The King of Qin got a beauty, but the betrothal gift was only symbolic. The willingness to cease fire was the biggest betrothal gift, not to mention that the prince was sent back.

The Qin State won.

The State of Wei got a chance to catch its breath and repel Zhao and Chu, so it did not lose out.

King Anxi of Wei could help Wei overcome the crisis while still suppressing Lord Xinling, and with his own crown prince returning safely, he could pave the way with peace of mind.

Also won.

Wei Yong won hugely. He gained the support of Qin, great prestige of Wei, and a favor from the king, which basically confirmed his fate of not being taken away by the king.

Everyone wins!

There seem to be no losers.

Don't look at the long term.

Moreover, there is something happening in Daliang City right now that is causing great anxiety to King Anxi of Wei and the entire Wei court.

The Iron Blood Alliance was planning to hold an auction in Daliang and had put up dozens of treasures that even princes and nobles would covet.

The treasures are fine, but I don’t know where the Iron Blood Alliance got the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword. They are willing to use such a sword as a competing product!
This is really a big deal.

All the philosophers, heroes of the world, martial arts masters, nobles and high-ranking officials, even green forest masters and assassins all went to Daliang, vowing to seize the sword.

For a time, the entire Daliang city was a mixed bag, with countless people brave and violent, raping and looting, and public security was rapidly deteriorating. Many Wei nobles did not dare to go out without bringing a few people with them.

As for ordinary people, they are suffering even more.

After all, petty thieves know that they have no hope of stealing such a sword, and they do not have the courage to plot against it.

However, they still have the courage to take advantage of this opportunity and fish in troubled waters, and they are very bold.

These people did not dare to provoke the nobles, so naturally they could only bully ordinary people.

For top forces, no one would mind having one more peerless sword in their possession. It's not just an increase in hard power.

For a school, clan or family, it increases their reputation, especially for a sword like the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss which is legendary in itself.

Even the princes and royal families sent people to participate, vowing to seize the sword.

It is said that Xinling Jun was also full of confidence and vowed to obtain this sword.

Xinling Jun is naturally not short of precious swords, but there is no sword more precious than the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss. The Seven-Star Dragon Abyss is the sword of honesty and integrity. This sword is perfect for me!
The Iron Blood Alliance started building momentum for this auction half a year in advance, and later revealed that the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss would be the finale contestant.

Moreover, the Iron Blood Alliance is sincere in guaranteeing the safety of outsiders who bid for the treasures in Daliang City.

After all, there are always some people who want to do business without any capital investment. After buying the treasure, at least their safety in Daliang City must be guaranteed.

All treasures auctioned this time will only be accepted in gold, which has also led to a surge in demand for gold during this period.

This was also Ying Zheng's plan. He took this opportunity to use gold crazily to exchange for food, and took this opportunity to exchange for more food than usual.

After all, no one except him knew that there would be a major disaster in Daqin and the Three Jins next year.

And if you take this opportunity to exchange for more food, you can get back the money you earned from selling the sword.

And when there was a surplus of grain, it could be sold back to Shanxi during a disaster, and the price of the grain would not be the same as it is now.

Although everyone is suffering from famine, Daqin has food while you have none. Daqin can still take advantage of the opportunity to capture a few more cities.

It’s a win-win situation with huge profits both inside and outside.

Win four times!
Let’s not talk about what will happen next year, the situation in Daliang is already chaotic enough right now.

This forced King Anxi of Wei to ask Lord Xinling to send all his followers to help maintain public order in Daliang.

Xinling Jun is still willing to do something.

For such men, wine and sex are never as important as career.

With the intervention of Lord Xinling and the rare unity of the Wei nobles, the public security in Daliang City improved a little.

As for Wei Yong, the King of Wei kept his word. After agreeing to peace talks and marriage with the State of Qin, he prepared a lot of dowry.

Wei Yong also prepared more, and he spent all his money. Wei Yong used the generous gift to silence the people of the world.

On the day he sent his daughter away, Wei Yong announced in front of countless people that he had severed his father-daughter relationship with Wei Xianxian, and declared that he would not have a daughter who became the King of Qin's concubine.

This move is really brilliant. The character of the pro-war faction must be established to the end.

Moreover, I used generous gifts to silence the mouths of everyone in the world. I have mortgaged my mansion and given my daughter everything I can. Doesn’t that mean I love my daughter?

I am helpless, it’s all for the State of Wei.

Likewise, I am doing this so that my daughter won't be bullied or humiliated in Qin. Without a father like me who advocates war against Qin, she might have a better life in Qin.

Wei Yong's move shocked the King of Wei, who couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had misjudged the person?

Is Wei Yong really a loyal minister? Is he just too power-hungry?

Many people sympathize with him. It has to be said that Wei Yong has really boosted his reputation with a series of operations since he started in the court.

Even the peace faction had to praise Wei Yong, saying that although his methods were wrong, he was still absolutely loyal to the Wei Dynasty and was indeed willing to give everything for the Wei Dynasty.

It is said that Lord Xinling had a new respect for Wei Yong.

In this incident, Wei Yong has gained both the inside and the outside. In the short term, he, Wei Yong, is the biggest winner.

After Ying Zheng knew about this, he couldn't help but praise it.

You’re quite a tough guy, Wei Yong. That’s fine.

A ruthless character like you, don’t blame me for leaving you behind after I destroy Wei.

As for the poor Miss Wei Xianxian, she cried like a tearful person on her wedding day.

She wasn't crying just because her father had disowned her.

Instead, she cried because of her miserable life. In this big world, there was no one who loved and protected her anymore.

I can only live in the deep palace for the rest of my life, and I don’t know when I will die quietly, and no one will even collect my body.

After all, she knew very well that she was just a pawn.

Parents understand their children, and children will understand their parents.

Even though Wei Yong privately always emphasized that he did not really sever the father-daughter relationship, he just wanted her to have a better life in Qin.

But Wei Yong could deceive others but not his own daughter.

Father, what was the situation with the Qin people who came secretly to our house a few days ago? Doesn’t your daughter really know?

You have already made a deal with the Qin State, and my daughter is just a pawn in your deal.

You are comforting your daughter in this way only because you think she might be useful in the future, and you are leaving a foreshadowing in advance. Anyway, you can say anything, but it's just a few more false words.

Wei Xianxian understands her father deeply. He seems to be loyal, but in fact he is a power monster, cold-blooded, ruthless, insidious and cunning.

It’s not that he doesn’t have feelings for his daughter, he does, but not much.

The most important thing is whether it can contribute to his future.

I have been beautiful since I was young. This is my greatest value and a precious commodity.

My father had always wanted to sell himself for a good price, and now he finally got his wish. He was sold to the King of Qin, the largest buyer in the world, and he really got a good price.

But, father.

How do you expect your daughter to survive in Qin?

The deal is done, so what’s the point of the chess pieces?
What's left of my own meaning?
It can be said that at this moment Wei Xianxian was already disheartened.

In this vast world, there is no one left to love and protect her. She can only go with the flow until she disappears.

The wedding procession was grand, with wedding gifts and carriages connected to each other, but Wei Xianxian only felt sadness.

In this endless sadness, Wei Xianxian embarked on the road to Qin State.
