Chapter 99: Conversation between Two People

Chapter 99: Conversation between Two People
Wei Wuji's face darkened, and soon he became dejected.

The prince's actions have shown that he has no ambition and is only interested in pleasure.

At this moment, Wei Wuji finally understood why Wei Liao chose to leave. Could he really display his talents by assisting such a person?
The two were silent. Seeing that Lord Xinling Wei Wuji seemed to have aged even more, Wei Liao said, "Your Majesty, the fate of the world now depends on this future battle of alliance."

"If the coalition wins, Qin will be driven back to Hexi. That will be the opportunity for change for the six states in Shandong."

"If the alliance wins a small victory or even draws, Qin can hide for ten years at most, and then it can still march eastward."

"If the alliance fails, the world situation will be controlled by Qin."

At this point, Wei Liao sighed and continued: "I am a Wei person. If I don't see the opportunity for Wei to reform, I can't help Wei."

Wei Wuji opened his mouth, not knowing how to persuade Wei Liao. When the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them.

The courage and will of the king are one of the decisive factors that determine whether the State of Wei can become stronger. However, the will and talent shown by the crown prince, the future king of Wei, are obviously far from enough.

He looked at Wei Liao, and finally said: "Wei Liao, with your talent, if you join the coalition plan and win a great victory for the coalition, it will also be an opportunity to break the deadlock."

Wei Liao shook his head and said to Wei Wuji: "Your Majesty, do you know how much grain and wealth flows into Qin from my Wei Kingdom every month?"

Wei Wuji was stunned, and now his face was gloomy as he asked: "Didn't the border guards stop us?"

"Block?" Wei Liao shook his head and sneered: "This has formed a net, a net that will hinder even the slightest movement of the king."

"The huge profits have already aroused their greed. I'm afraid the border guards are also caught in this trap."

Wei Wuji subconsciously clenched his fists, and Wei Liao said again: "The six states in Shandong have many caravans coming and going, and have formed a certain community of interests."

"That guy Ying Zifei was very generous. He took out most of the profits and shared them with this community of interests."

"So there are a lot of people helping to cover it up. Now it's impossible to cut off this network."

As he spoke, Wei Liao showed admiration, and said: "Your Majesty, now all the forces know that the Black Ice Platform is becoming more and more powerful, and has continuously infiltrated their forces, but there is no way to eliminate it."

"Ying Zifei is constantly weaving this web by means of interests. Once the various forces take action to cleanse the inside, it means that they will also be in turmoil and chaos."

"Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, Ying Zifei and Heibingtai must be controlling and storing a large amount of food and fodder inside Qin, and that food is continuously transported to Qin from the six countries."

"Although I cannot predict how the war of alliance will turn out, there is one thing I cannot be sure of. The Qin State may have been planning and preparing for this war long before the paper was released."

Wei Liao's eyes sparkled, and he said confidently: "Your Majesty, Ying Zifei stirred up the war between Yan and Zhao in order to buy more time for Qin."

"The Qin State may also be trying to achieve some goals through this stop."

Wei Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly. He heard some of the meaning behind Wei Liao's words and asked, "So you are not optimistic about this coalition war, right?"

Wei Liao nodded and shook his head, saying: "Your Majesty, the victory or failure of this alliance is nothing more than the preparations of both sides."

"Although the powerful families in the six countries hate Qin for launching paper and other things to destroy the foundation of their rule, these people are also the ones who are most likely to compromise."

"As for Qin, if they really took the initiative to plan this war, with Qin's current stable internal system, they can only defend and not attack, which will cause headaches for the six countries." "I don't know whether we will win or lose. We can only analyze it after the war starts."

Wei Wuji frowned at Wei Liao's words. After thinking about it, he said, "If I ask you to do this again for the sake of Wei, will you agree?"

"No," Wei Liao shook his head and said to Wei Wuji, "The trend of the coalition is already there, no matter how the coalition war is fought, I can't play a role."

He looked at Xinling Jun Wei Wuji with deep eyes, and said slowly: "Unless Your Majesty is the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, I, Wei Liao, will be able to make plans."

"Otherwise, how can others trust me, Wei Liao?"

Wei Wuji was speechless, then smiled bitterly. What Wei Liao said was the truth. The intrigues within the coalition were difficult to eliminate. A person like Wei Liao would only have some say in the alliance unless he became a general of Wei.

"What if I recommend you to Pang Nuan?" Wei Wuji did not give up. Now that the turmoil in Wei State has been settled, he has recognized that Wei Liao is a talented person who can stabilize the country.

"Your Majesty, Pang Nuan's decision to come out again proves that he has made some plans." Wei Liao shook his head slightly and sighed: "Your Majesty, the counselor is the one who can stabilize the situation. After the battle between Yan and Zhao, Pang Nuan's name is common."

"I have to say that the war between Yan and Zhao that Ying Zifei stirred up really caused a lot of trouble for Pang Nuan."

"Your Majesty recommended me to come here at this time. Even if Pang Nuan is a close friend of Your Majesty, this attitude of not trusting her ability will only backfire."

Wei Wuji was speechless, then shook his head and sighed helplessly, saying: "Well, it's up to you."

Seeing that Lord Xinling Wei Wuji no longer had the intention to kill him, Wei Liao felt relieved.

The two talked for a while before Wei Liao left. Looking at his back, Wei Wuji sighed and said, "If such a person does not have the courage and ambition to convince him, he will probably choose to die of old age."

The person next to him said: "Your Majesty, if this person surrenders to Qin in the future, I'm afraid..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear. Qin's King Ying Zheng now looked more and more like a heroic ruler.

"Forget it." Wei Wuji did have the intention to kill just now, but when Wei Liao told him about the prince's choice, Wei Wuji lost interest.

It's really sad for a person with great talent to not meet a wise master.

"Let's go, and return to Xinling secretly. After talking to some old friends, it's time for me to end my life."

Wei Wuji spoke very calmly. If it weren't for Wei Liao's help, he, Wei Wuji, would have died a very miserable death this time. That bastard Ying Zifei really didn't give him, Lord Xinling, any face at all.

It's just a pity that Wei Wuji was scheming everywhere, but in the end his death became a scar that the people of Wei did not want to open.

With this incident, even if Wei Wuji designed a drama of being "assassinated" by the Qin people as the ending, who would believe it?

"Zhu Hai, oh Zhu Hai, if I had known your current situation, I would never have let you die in such a sad and helpless way."

With a murmur, Wei Wuji smiled bitterly, got on the carriage, and ordered people to go to Xinling's fiefdom.
