Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 523: Chapter 220: Your Brother-in-Law Is the Eldest Imperial Son! Do Something for Your Brother-in-Law! (Part 2)

“And then there is Shaofu Yu Liao, whom the Great King values highly.”

“He is a Disciple of Guiguzi, his wisdom beyond the reach of ordinary people.”

“Ever since entering Qin, he has remained aloof, never forming factions or associating with others; no one can win him over, but towards his brother-in-law, his view is different, and it is evident in court.”

“As for the two brothers Feng Quji and Feng Jie, they can be put aside for now; currently, they seem uninvolved in factional disputes.”

“Regarding the Meng Family.”

“They have already chosen Fusu.”

Though Wang Ben was straightforward, he was very clever, having quickly sorted out the current situation in the court.

“You are truly smart when you put your mind to it.”

“Indeed.” Wang Jian praised Wang Ben.

“Father.”

“Actually, although the voices at court may have some influence on the Great King, he holds the king’s power, and the future Crown Prince position is ultimately determined by the Great King.”

“After all.”

“Despite civil officials stirring up some waves at court, once the world is unified, no matter how turbulent they make it, as long as the Great King decrees, everything can be suppressed by soldiers.”

“So…” Wang Ben said with a touch of seriousness.

“So, you want to know if the Great King truly intends to establish your brother-in-law as Crown Prince, or if it is just a remark.” Wang Jian laughed.

Wang Ben nodded: “Exactly.”

“From the day I had a long conversation with the Great King, the expectations he holds for Zhao Feng surpass any other prince.”

“The future heir of Qin, if a wastrel, cannot hold power.”

“Among the Great King’s sons, who can surpass Zhao Feng?”

“Or among the people of the world, who can surpass Zhao Feng?” Wang Jian said deeply, affirming Ying Zheng’s stance.

“This matter.”

“Should this be let known to my sister?”

Wang Ben asked tentatively.

“No.” Wang Jian shook his head.

“The Great King said.”

“Someday when the world is unified, there will be a surprise for Zhao Feng, and even more so for Zhao Feng’s mother.”

“If Yan’er finds out, she will surely tell Zhao Feng.”

“If that spoils the Great King’s plans, it would be a grievous sin.”

“The reason I told you is to make you aware and avoid rashly supporting any prince; our Wang Family is exceptionally privileged, having received the best opportunity now. If it’s ruined by you, boy, I won’t be lenient.” Wang Jian warned deeply.

“Father.”

“I have always followed your teachings and never participated in factional disputes.”

“You think too much of me.” Wang Ben said, feeling somewhat wronged.

“Alright.”

“Let’s not discuss this matter; keep it buried deep in your heart.”

“Today in court, I have already broken with Wang Wan, and even threatened him.”

“Knowing him, he will surely find ways to deal with our Wang Family, while paying closer attention to military power.”

“Currently, there is no war in Lantian Camp.”

“Monitor Wang Wan’s moves closely, and note all Imperial Guard Army leaders and Prefecture Soldiers leaders in connection with them around Xianyang.” Wang Jian said heavily.

He was not like Wang Wan, merely a warrior on paper.

With abundant battle experience, Wang Jian anticipated Wang Wan’s next moves after their falling out in court.

Concerning these, Wang Jian had no worries.

Overall.

Right now, the Great King gives him confidence; the king’s power is unshakable.

“Please rest assured, father.”

“I will handle this matter properly.”

“As for Wang Wan, that old fool, and Chunyu Yue, they will face consequences.” Wang Ben sneered coldly.

—————–

Yan, Yuyang District!

Before the city.

Over two hundred thousand Qin Soldiers lined up, seemingly ready to invade Yuyang City at any moment.

Even though the Qin Army hadn’t moved.

The terrifying military presence felt oppressive over Yuyang City, as if shrouded by evil qi.

“Senior General.”

“Everything is ready.”

Tu Sui rode his horse forward, reporting to Zhao Feng atop the war chariot.

“Is everything written with ’Yan’?” Zhao Feng asked Tu Sui.

“Exactly.”

“They are all attached to the arrows.” Tu Sui immediately responded.

“Today, the feathered arrows will fly ceaselessly.”

“Tomorrow, we will again suppress with arrows to attack.” Zhao Feng deeply said.

“I shall obey.” Tu Sui instantly obliged.

And then.

Thud, thud, thud.

A series of drumbeats resonated through the void.

Soon after.

Tens of thousands of well-prepared archers advanced boldly towards the front of the city.

On Yuyang City wall.

Qing Qin’s expression turned extremely grave.

“The Qin Army is here at the foot of the city, prepared to attack today.”

“Zhao Feng.”

“Am I truly his match?”

Looking at the impending black clouds of killing intent in front of the city, Qing Qin felt a sense of apprehension.

In the current world.

The name Zhao Feng has already gained great renown.

Especially for Various Countries, Zhao Feng commanding troops is akin to a nightmare.

Since his command, he has never been defeated.

Lian Po, Pang Xuan, and Wei Wuji, mighty generals like them, have all died by Zhao Feng’s hands.

Compared to them, Qing Qin knew his own capabilities well.

Hence, before the battle had truly begun, Qing Qin already felt a bit fearful.

“Senior General.”

“Intelligence has arrived.”

“This time Qin only dispatched Wu’an Military Camp, not additional camps.”

“With our troops simply defending, we should withstand the assault.” Deputy General Yue Cheng reported to Qing Qin.

Although in rank the same as Senior General, Yue Cheng obviously was not trusted by King of Yan, given his history of surrender.

“Yuyang City contains thirty thousand troops.”

“The Qin Army has nearly thirty thousand as well.”

“How long until reinforcements from Ji City arrive?” Qing Qin inquired.
