The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 679 Liu Ji Enters Xianyang

As the young man spoke, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, feeling that everything now was just a dream. Then he looked up at the sky, his eyes full of shock and surprise, his body trembling slightly with excitement and shock.

But he quickly came to his senses and looked at his friends. Everyone was looking at the dragon in shock, and they were relieved when they found that no one was injured.

After seeing everyone prostrating themselves, he immediately followed the crowd and bowed down to pray. Although he didn't know if it would be helpful or not, it did no harm to pray for such an auspicious sign. He asked the dragon god to bless him to have a smooth journey!

Also, may my parents back home be healthy and safe.

At the same time, Ying Zheng, who was buried in documents, suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance.

He felt Ying Li's movements.

Moreover, he soon felt that his black dragon soul had grown three times stronger out of thin air.

This change instantly cheered up Ying Zheng. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and his figure flashed. At a speed that ordinary people could not detect, he was outside the hall in an instant.

At a speed unobservable by ordinary people, it transformed into a black stream of light, flew into the high clouds, and headed straight for the Wei River.

Ying Li circled in the air for several weeks, his huge dragon eyes flashing with golden light. He stared quietly at the people kneeling below until he saw Ying Zheng flying towards him from afar. He lowered his head slightly and nodded at Ying Zheng. After Ying Zheng nodded in response, he rushed into the river again to rest.

Ying Zheng was hanging thousands of feet in the sky, looking indifferently at the people below who were kneeling like ants, his eyes were deep and his face was calm.

After Ying Li returned to the Wei River, the dragon disappeared and everyone stood up one after another, with awe and excitement still on their faces, and they whispered to each other.

Ying Zheng scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, and then he found a young man with extraordinary bearing. This man had a dignified appearance and a noble look between his brows.

The young man stood up and looked around to make sure that the dragon had entered the water. Then he straightened his clothes and finally pulled the horse up.

He then ordered the convoy behind him, which was loaded with wealth and goods, to pack up and pacify the livestock, and then set off again after a while. Everything was arranged in an orderly and calm manner.

After making the arrangements, he started chatting with a few people around him, and it was obvious that he was quite excited.

He was also very friendly and chatted with other passers-by who were resting about what had just happened. He was gesticulating and talking excitedly, and was quite enthusiastic. He was very friendly and soon chatted with several passers-by. The group was chatting enthusiastically.

Ying Zheng looked at those young people who were in high spirits and excited, smiled inexplicably, turned around and flew back to the Zhangfa Hall.

All this happened in a flash. In fact, it didn't take long since Ying Zheng left and came back. Sang Ruoyu only saw the king suddenly disappear and come back from outside the palace after a while.

He was quite surprised, as this situation was extremely rare for him.

But he didn't say anything nonsense, nor asked anything. He just quickly poured a cup of tea for Ying Zheng, his movements skillful and cautious.

"Xuan Yanjin."

Ying Zheng gave the order calmly, and Sang Ruoyu quickly responded and ordered someone to summon him.

Ying Zheng ordered Yan Jin to send out the most elite spies to keep an eye on the young man quietly.

This young man was undoubtedly Liu Ji.

He shouldn't have come to Xianyang at this time.

Especially, he bowed once.

He came to Xianyang to seek refuge with the Zhu family.

After the fall of Daliang City, Zhang Er used his relationship with the Zhu family to successfully and actively defect to the Qin Dynasty. With his research ability, his reputation for virtue, and his familiarity with and connections in the Wei State, he was soon highly valued by Meng Wu.

After arriving at Zhongcang, he was highly valued by Zhongcang and had the honor to work as a clerk beside Zhongcang.

People like Zhang Er will definitely be able to achieve great success as long as they have the opportunity.

After becoming a celebrity in front of Zhong Cang, his development in Liangdi became even smoother. This was also beneficial to Zhong Cang's management of Weidi.

People like Zhang Er are well aware of the principle that a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Zhang Er, Chen Yu and Liu Ji had already become sworn brothers in Daliang, and they were inseparable.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu both had their roots in Wei, and Chen Yu had extraordinary connections in Daliang. Both of them also had some reputation in Wei.

They both knew that only under Zhong Cang could they play the greatest role in Wei.

When brothers work together, it is true that there is strength in numbers, but it is even more taboo to put all eggs in one basket. If you are not careful, all eggs will be ruined, and it is not conducive to real long-term development in many aspects.

In addition, now that he has already pledged his allegiance to the Qin Dynasty, he is valued by the Left Prime Minister, and he also has connections with the farming family. He must delve deeper into the central government!

An official who doesn’t want to enter the central government will never be a good official!
In addition, the court factions are complicated, and they must also know the general situation of the court factions so as not to be ruined by accident.

Now that they have been branded as Zhong Cang, they need to be aware of many taboos.

These things will not be told to them until they become Zhong Cang's true confidants.

This is also a test. If someone is in the officialdom and doesn't understand the factions, there is no need to train such a person. He is not a new official.

Then someone needs to go to Xianyang to develop.

It would definitely be most appropriate for Zhang Er and Chen Yu to stay in Wei, so the best candidate to go to Xianyang would be Liu Ji.

After all, Liu Ji has the closest relationship with the farmers.

Moreover, the better these two do in Wei, the more face Liu Ji will have among the farmers.

Things are different now. They have all become subjects of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhang Er has climbed up the ladder of Zhong Cang, so the Nong family will definitely pay attention to this group of people.

As for whether the farmers will get along with Zhong Cang?
That's impossible. Not to mention whether the Nong family dares to do it, if the Nong family is really not close enough to Zhongcang, Zhang Er will have no chance to become Zhongcang's chief clerk.

Daliang doesn’t need people like Zhang Er now!

There are many people who want to show off, and there are also many people who have nobler births and more powerful families than him.

Zhong Cang appointed a Wei man who was on good terms with the Nong family as his chief clerk. This was meaningful in itself, in addition to Zhang Er's own value.

Zhang Er sighed again, it's all fate, just less than a year's difference, but it made all the difference.

I have achieved what I have today only because I firmly grasped the opportunities and connections. As long as I keep working hard, my future will be limitless.

What is a small county magistrate in front of the prime minister of Qin? To be the chief clerk of the prime minister, even the county governors in the whole Wei area have to give him some respect.

No, not just in Wei, but all over the world.

Zhang Er was sincerely grateful to King Jingmin of Wei for his strenuous resistance. If he had surrendered peacefully, he would have had no chance, at least his life would not have been better than it is now.

After careful discussion among the three brothers, the matter of going to Xianyang for development was handed over to Liu Ji.

Zhang Er and Chen Yu naturally knew that life in the capital was not easy, and going to Xianyang to do business was not an easy task either. Although they also knew Liu Ji's abilities and had confidence in him.

But he still gritted his teeth and prepared two thousand gold for Liu Ji. He went to Xianyang not for fighting, but for the human relationships and worldly wisdom. This gold was the best stepping stone.

Is there anything more useful in the world than knocking on the door with gold?

A man with money is a real man, a man without money is a difficult man, a penny can make a hero fall.

In addition to money, there are also some specialties of Wei and some valuable gifts, which are things that cannot be bought on the market.

In addition, he was provided with a dozen trusted servants and two expert guards. It could be said that the preparations were extremely thorough.

Together with the brothers Liu Ji brought from his hometown, Liu Ji came to Xianyang in high spirits.

Thanks to the note written by the Left Prime Minister and the farmer's token in his hand, the journey to Xianyang was extremely smooth.

Perhaps, God didn't want to stop him from coming to Xianyang.

From then on, his life would never be the same again.

However, given the current situation, this may not be a bad thing.

After Liu Ji arrived in Xianyang, he had no idea that he was being targeted and even his daily eating, drinking, defecating and urinating were being watched.

The most elite spies of Xuanyu Guard cannot be discovered by a group of small characters like them.

Liu Ji had just settled down in the guesthouse and invited several good friends who had followed him to have dinner together. He was still praising: "Xianyang is worthy of being Xianyang. It is really amazing. I have never seen such a big and prosperous city in my life." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, chewing it carefully.

A young man who was about the same age as Liu Ji nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Brother Ji, I used to think that Daliang was the largest and most magnificent city in the world, but compared with Xianyang, it is really far behind."

"Indeed, indeed. Moreover, Xianyang doesn't even have any city walls for defense. It only has a few archways to welcome guests. This confidence is truly unparalleled in the world. This city should be the only one in the world without city walls." The person who said this was a young man with a firm and tough face, with a square and generous face, and a bright smile at this moment.

Another young man, who was about the same age as Liu Bang and had an elegant and handsome face, sighed and praised: "The emperor today is a holy ruler sent by heaven, and he has received the mandate of heaven. Just looking at the situation in Xianyang, it is clear that no one can stop the Qin Dynasty."

Another young man who looked honest said, "Brother He is right. Since entering Qin territory, every family has left their doors unlocked at night, no one has picked up lost items on the road, and the people are honest and kind, and are willing to help others."

"What's even more rare is that everyone values ​​both literature and martial arts, and in Guanzhong, every county has a county school and every village has a clinic. Every family is rich. Under the rule of the emperor, the strength of Qin can be seen. With such a strong national strength, how can other countries compete with it?"

"The fall of Wei was not unjust."

Liu Ji laughed loudly: "That's true. Just looking at the situation in Guanzhong, we know that Chu will never be able to stop Qin. It won't take long for the world to be unified."

"Now the whole world is full of vitality, and everything is flourishing. It is a good time for us brothers to do something."

"Although there won't be many opportunities to gain military merit nowadays, just looking at the Rejuvenating Sage, Marquis Guangqu, Marquis Chengdu and others, we can see that the Qin Dynasty has gradually shifted its focus to governing the world. As long as you work hard, you may be able to be granted a title of nobility or appointed as a prime minister even if you don't have military merit."
