Chapter 245: Firm Faith

In the courtyard, there were only Gongzi Wuji and Gongzi Jia.

These two people, the former is the best among the four great princes of the Warring States Period, and can turn the situation around the world with their own strength.

As for Zhao Jia, he was a latecomer, and his influence among the princes even surpassed Wei Wuji. He was even qualified to cede land and become king, so that the achievements of the young master, the special group of existence, would be enhanced again.

The two talked, feeling a sense of mutual appreciation.

In the past, after the Battle of Yan and Zhao broke out, and after the Zhao army defeated the Yan army, Zhao Jia met Wei Wuji in Zhenyi. At that time, he only felt that this person had an inexplicable charm and was not very touched.

It was not until now that Zhao Jia deeply felt what weight the four words "Prince Wuji" have.

"Young Master Wuji, Jia has something unknown. I wonder if you can solve my doubts for me?"

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "But it's okay."

Zhao Jia pondered for a while, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "I don't think that the young master is like a person who gives up on his own. Why has he been addicted to alcohol and sex every day since he was dismissed by the King of Wei?"

This question is not very polite. If it were a person with a narrow mind, he might even be angry.

However, although Zhao Jia didn't talk much with Wei Wuji, he could still feel that the withered old man in front of him was definitely not a petty person.

The two of them have many familiarities, and it is precisely this similarity that makes Zhao Jia confused.

Zhao Jia thought to himself that no matter what adversity he was in, he would not at least give up on himself, nor would he indulge in alcohol and sex, which would cause his body to be hollowed out.

With Zhao Jia like this, how could Wei Wuji be so easy to withstand the blow and give up on himself?

When Wei Wuji heard this, he became silent.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "If you are addicted to alcohol and sex, you can live at least a few more years. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have died suddenly for a long time."

Zhao Jia felt awe-inspiring in his heart and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"With the prestige of the young master in Wei State, how dare the King of Wei do this?"

Wei Wuji smiled helplessly and said, "He dares to take the blame for the world, deprive me of military power, and even put me under house arrest here in disguise. Even if he bears another life, what can he do?"

"What's more, everyone outside the manor is the king's brother. It's a simple matter to let a person die suddenly without leaving any trace."

Zhao Jia was silent.

It was not until this time that he realized that Wei Wuji's so-called addiction to alcohol and sex was not already like this, but that he had to do it in order to save his life.

With Wei Wuji's contribution to Wei State, he was so afraid of the King of Wei. When he fell to this point, Zhao Jia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

"I'm already a dying person, but you should think more about yourself."

Wei Wuji seemed to see Zhao Jia's thoughts. He first smiled casually, and then gave a serious warning.

Zhao Jia's pupils shrank slightly and he asked, "Why did the young master say this?"

Wei Wuji sighed: "I worked hard for the Wei State back then, and even the position of King of Wei was at my fingertips."

"However, I thought that as long as I had no inappropriate thoughts and my contribution to Wei State would be able to move Brother Wang, so that my brothers and I could join forces to resist Qin State and make Wei State more prosperous."

Speaking of this, Wei Wuji paused for a while, and then sighed: "It's a pity that even though I rejected the guest's further suggestions countless times, and even kept showing my loyalty to my brother, I still couldn't dispel his suspicion."

Speaking of this, Wei Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The King of Wei was Wei Wuji's brother. Wei Wuji's title of Xinlingjun was also the title of Wei Wuji. The purpose was to restrain Tian Wen, who was the prime minister of Wei at that time.

Wei Wuji was lucky enough to be humiliated and not only fulfilled his mission of restraining Tian Wen, but also allowed many Mengchangjun's disciples to join him.

Since then, Xinling Jun became more and more famous, and finally attracted the suspicion of the King of Wei.

"I joined forces with the troops of the five countries to not only relieve the danger of Wei for Brother Wang, but also led the troops to the Hangu Pass of Qin. I thought Brother Wang could remember my contribution to Wei."

"But unexpectedly, the so-called brotherhood and loyalty can ultimately resist the suspicion in his heart."

Speaking of this, Wei Wuji's face was full of loneliness and a little pain mixed with.

After defeating Qin, Wei Wuji was unrivaled and had no reputation, and with the military power, it would not be difficult to ascend the throne.

Unfortunately, for the sake of so-called friendship and loyalty, he did not choose to do that.

Even after Wei Wuji was removed from military power, he still had fantasies, believing that those who were clear of their own will be clear, and that his brothers would use him again sooner or later.

It was not until he was placed under house arrest in disguise, and Wei Wuji felt the murderous intent in the heart of King Wei that he completely gave up.

From then on, in order to survive, Wei Wuji had to pretend to be addicted to alcohol and abandon himself, so that even many Wei Wuji's disciples left because they could not see their lord so depressed.

After all the guests dispersed, Wei Wuji lost the threat to the King of Wei and became truly safe.

Unfortunately, Wei Wuji's body had collapsed at that time.

"You have made meritorious contributions. People in the world know that Zhao has a son Jia but not that Zhao has a king. In addition, you have seized the northern part of Shangdang as your fiefdom, and the fiefdom territory is even greater than that of the weakest South Korea."

"Now King Zhao is in his prime, how could he tolerate his son's reputation surpassing himself?"

"Either you hand over the military power and become the crown prince of Zhao in an open heart, or you will be afraid of the King of Zhao and end up like me."

Speaking of this, Wei Wuji pondered for a while and said, "Maybe, you can't go my way, choose to take King Zhao and replace him, and lead Zhao to prosperity!"

Zhao Jia left, and had never spoken along the way. She looked very calm on the outside, but her heart was overturned.

Zhao Jia, who used to be, did have a slight fantasy, thinking that he became Zhao Yan's only son and that the other party could accept him. The father and son joined forces to lead Zhao to prosperity.

In fact, the father and son of the previous generation joined forces to cheat Qin, seize Yan land, and take Shangdang, which even gave Zhao Jia an illusion that Zhao Yan could work together with him and would no longer suspect him.

Unfortunately, when Zhao Jia received the secret letter from Fan Zeng, he completely dispelled this fantasy.

Long before the end of the war, King Zhao secretly summoned his confidants to discuss how to take Shangdang as the Zhao State, instead of becoming Zhao Jia's fiefdom, and even wanted to transfer troops from Shenqi's land.

Obviously, Zhao Yan was still on guard against Zhao Jia.

It was precisely because of the secret letter that Zhao Jia secretly adopted the northern part of Shangdang as his own private fief without the permission of King Zhao.

Because Li Si solemnly warned Zhao Jia: If you don’t want to end up like Xinlingjun, you can only be brave and diligent and take advantage of the situation, rather than placing your hope on others’ mercy.

When visiting Wei Wuji, after hearing the other party’s heartfelt words, Zhao Jia finally became firm in his mind.
