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

Chapter 292 Wei Yong's Troubles

The war between the Qin and Zhao states was raging, and the atmosphere in the neighboring Wei state was also gradually changing.

However, as the capital of the Wei Kingdom, the majestic city of Daliang remained peaceful and harmonious.

Aside from the royal palace, the largest building in Daliang City was undoubtedly the residence of Wei Yong, the powerful Grand Minister of Works in the Wei Kingdom.

Since the sudden death of King Wei years ago, and the deaths of both the Grand General and Lord Xinling overnight, Grand Minister of Works Wei Yong has become a pivotal figure in the state of Wei.

Over the years, thanks to his cooperation with Changxin Jun, Wei Yong has never lacked money, but he is not particularly fond of pleasure. Instead, he uses this to win people's hearts.

With the covert support of the Luo Wang organization, he was able to continuously eliminate political enemies who disagreed with him. Over time, most of the officials in the court had come under his command.

Even the most elite Wei infantry have been captured by them.

It can be said that Wei Yong's power was even greater than Ji Wuye's in the state of Han, and the state of Wei had almost become his personal fiefdom.

However, as power expands, ambition naturally grows as well.

At the height of his power, Wei Yong clashed with the Luo Wang organization multiple times, which aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the King of Wei, who began to support Lord Longyang in suppressing him.

"Aren't you the strongest Heavenly-Rank First-Class Assassin of the Luo Wang? Isn't the Luo Wang known for being all-pervasive? How come you can't deal with a mere Long Yang Jun?"

Inside the Grand Minister's residence, Wei Yong somewhat lost his composure and spoke to Hei Bai Xuan Jian.

Lord Longyang has now become a thorn in his side.

“Lord Longyang is a master himself, and he is also protected by disciples of the Armored Sect.”

"Moreover, this is Daliang, and it would be too risky for me to be alone."

As a top-tier assassin, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was not dissatisfied with Wei Yong's attitude; he simply responded calmly.

Of course this is not the case.

Lord Changxin granted him considerable autonomy in his orders, and helping Wei Yong at this time was not in Qin's interest.

Unlike the assassins trained by the Luo Wang organization, Hei Bai Xuan Jian was a notorious bandit before joining the Luo Wang organization. He was able to think independently, which was an important reason why Ying Jing would send him to carry out this mission.

"Humph!"

Wei Yong snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to break ties with the Luo Wang.

Wei Yong has been having a very difficult time lately.

Inside the court, Lord Longyang, who had disappeared on the night of the sudden change in Wei, reappeared and gained the support of the King of Wei.

Officials who were once dissatisfied with Wei Yong but dared not speak out have now gathered under Lord Longyang's command, forming a separate faction and constantly opposing him.

Outside, Changxin Jun's cooperation with him also encountered some problems, and the profits from the cooperation were getting lower and lower.

But what Wei Yong found most unacceptable was the issue of the Wei Wuzu (Wei elite infantry).

As the most elite army of the Wei state, the Wei Wuzu were a powerful weapon against the Qin army. To control the Wei Wuzu was to have a trump card that would make one invincible.

Over the years, Wei Yong's proudest achievement was taking over this powerful army after the death of the Grand General.

However, the commanders of the Wei Wu soldiers were mostly from the armored soldiers!

Even the training methods of the Wei Wuzu were simplified versions of the martial arts of the Pijiamen.

The members of the Armored Gate had always had some doubts about the death of the Great General. Lord Longyang had been secretly investigating this matter for many years, which was a perfect match for the Armored Gate.

In name, the Wei Wuzu were still under Wei Yong's command, but in reality, he could no longer command them at all.

Even the most incompetent ruler would not allow his most elite army to fall into the hands of a powerful minister.

Hei Bai Xuan Jian sneered: "Back when you went to great lengths to try and control the Wei Wu soldiers, Lord Changxin was not optimistic about it."

Although the King of Wei was not clever, he was not a fool either.

If they hadn't known the special nature of the Wei Wuzu, they would never have agreed to let Wei Yong take over this army.

Over the years, Wei Yong has spent a lot of his own money to make the Wei Wuzu stronger, but now it's all gone to waste.
