"Lord Wang, it only took one sentence for you to obtain the priceless Night-Luminescent Pearl.”
Noticing the greed in her eyes, Lu Buwei cursed her for pretending to be polite, but he was still smiling.
"That's right, Lord Wang. As long as you inform grandfather, the pearl will be yours.”
Seeing that there was a chance for him to stay, Ying Yiren couldn't help but feel happy and chimed in.
"It's not that I don't want to help Third Young Master, but the king's orders are hard to disobey, and I have my own difficulties.”
After much consideration, Wang Ji's greedy gaze moved away from the Nightless Pearl and continued to speak in a standard official tone.
The King was indeed old, but he would not hesitate when he made his move.
To be honest, it was not worth it to sacrifice his future for a non-living object, the Night Illumination Pearl.
"Lord Wang, why don't you think about it again? There's definitely more than one Night-Luminescent Pearl.”
Going to the State of Zhao as a hostage meant that there was no chance. This time, Lu Buwei, who had been cursing just now, became anxious.
He had spent a lot of money to accumulate his family assets and was still waiting for Ying Yiren's return. How could it end so quickly?
"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Wang. We can discuss this matter. What is a mere Night Illumination Pearl?”
The other party obviously didn't seem to be faking it. Ying Yiren's heart was in his throat, and he had to smile.
"How can there be any room for discussion regarding the king's orders? Please, Third Young Master.”
Wang Ji did not want to delay for too long, lest the King thought that he had been bribed.
"Lord Wang, anything can be discussed, right?”
Seeing this, Ying Yiren and the other two immediately panicked. Their hearts had already turned cold.
"Please…"
Witnessing the Third Young Master clinging onto him like a dog skin plaster, Wang Ji was glad that he was not too greedy just now.
There was an old saying that said, if there was a way to get money and treasures, one had to have the life to spend it.
"Hey!"
Seeing that he had no hope of staying in the State of Qin, Lu Buwei stopped his bribery and let out a long sigh.
He had chosen the Third Young Master to defeat the Yiren in order to maximize his benefits. It was also convenient for him to control the situation. Everything would still listen to him.
He did not expect that he would be shooting himself in the foot. He did not get anything, but he had to spend a lot of money and energy.
"Lord Wang, won't you reconsider?”
Ying Yiren couldn't help but tremble when he thought of the bitter days he was about to face. He still refused to let go of his last hope.
"Please, Third Young Master."
No matter how much the other party said, Wang Ji was still unmoved. He made an inviting gesture again.
"You!"
Seeing this, Ying Yiren's face quickly turned ashen. He was so angry that he could not speak.
One day, when the dynasty gained power, the first person to be dealt with would definitely be Wang Ji. Everything that happened today would be returned tenfold.
"Then I'll have to trouble Lord Wang."
If he completely fell out with Great Qin, his life in the State of Zhao would become many times more difficult, and he might even lose his status as the Third Young Master of the royal family.
Left with no choice, Ying Yiren could only go to the State of Zhao as a hostage and put on an expression that was uglier than crying.
"As for you, Merchant Lu, follow Third Young Master to Zhao.”
The Third Young Master was a member of the royal family. Wang Ji would still be polite, but he was looking down on a nameless merchant like Lu Buwei.
The descendants of the royal family had received a deep lesson, and Lu Buwei, who had participated in that incident, would not be able to escape easily.
"Lord Wang, I was instructed by the Third Young Master previously. It has nothing to do with me.”
If he followed Ying Yiren to the State of Zhao as a hostage in the name of a guest of his residence, Lu Buwei could easily imagine that he would also suffer.
"It's not up to you. Men, take him away.”
Wang Ji would not be polite to a nobody like Lu Buwei. He signaled for the armored soldiers to forcefully carry him away.
"Yes."
Then, a few burly soldiers stepped forward and lifted Lu Buwei up.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, we can discuss this.”
Going to the State of Zhao with Ying Yiren as a hostage, Lu Buwei could almost predict what would happen to him. His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly begged.
With the feud between Qin and Zhao, as a merchant, he would definitely be confiscated and his property would be confiscated into the national treasury. At that time, he would really become a commoner.
No, it should be said that he had nothing, which was even worse than the poor people.
"Take him away directly. This is an important guest of the third young master. We can't let him escape on the way.”
It was almost time. Wang Ji could not be bothered to continue talking nonsense and waved his hand.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, please stay a step…"
The price of going to the State of Zhao was too great. Lu Buwei didn't want to lose everything, so he struggled desperately.
"Merchant Wei, you really don't know what's good for you.”
It was impossible to participate in the whirlpool of the battle for the throne without paying a price. Wang Ji turned around and walked back to report to the king.
"Back then, I was really bewitched and blind. I didn't want Eldest Young Master Ying Rui to join me, but I went to find Ying Yiren, who had the least sense of existence.”
Knowing that he could no longer salvage everything, Lu Buwei hated himself for being too greedy and regretted his decision.
If he had joined the Eldest Young Master from the start, he would probably have become a confidant now and would be put in an important position in the future. It would not be a problem for him to soar.
He really regretted it, he regretted it, it was too late!
"Your Highness, that Third Young Master, along with the merchant Lu Buwei of the State of Wei, has come to the State of Zhao as a hostage.”
Wei Liao smiled when he heard about the two of them, just as the Crown Prince had expected.
"Their fate is within expectations. After all, they have to pay the price for doing something wrong.”
Ying Rui, who was walking along the passageway in the residence, didn't pay much attention to the two unremarkable characters.
What he was more concerned about now was how to quickly sweep through the six countries and complete the legacy of his ancestors.
"Your Highness is right. The main purpose is to provide a teaching material for the young master to gain a preliminary understanding of power and politics.”
The Crown Prince was the only one who used the fight for the crown prince as teaching material. There was no one else in the entire world who could do that.
Thinking of this, Wei Liao realized that he couldn't see through the Crown Prince's next move.
Perhaps, this was a wise ruler that was hard to come by in all eternity!
"Your Highness, should we move to the Eastern Palace now?”
At this moment, Meng Ao's son, Meng Wu, who was also the father of Meng Tian and his brother, came with the king's order to escort the Crown Prince to the Eastern Palace.
"A moment…"
After becoming the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, he naturally had to bring his wife and eldest son along.
"Yes, Your Highness."
As long as he entered the Eastern Palace today, there was no rule on when he could go. Meng Wu naturally had no objections.
Five thousand imperial guards, including the necessary carriages, were basically waiting outside the manor. They were only waiting for the Crown Prince to move to the Eastern Palace.
“………”
Ying Rui continued to walk into the manor, while Wei Liao followed behind him as an official of the Eastern Palace.
