Chapter 198: Chapter 115: Wang Jian Astounded! Reporting to the Great King, a Major Victory at Wei City!_4

After the state of Zhao is vanquished this time, the marriage between Yan’er and Zhao Feng must be secured. I just wonder if Yan’er will bear me a grandson or a granddaughter.

Regaining his senses, Wang Jian handed a family letter to the Personal Guard Commander before him. ”Find someone to deliver this to Zhao Feng.”

”Understood.”

The Personal Guard Commander immediately took it and swiftly retreated.

Meanwhile, Yang Duanhe looked on with an astonished expression. ”That is the Senior General’s family letter. Why give it to General Zhao Feng? Could it be that General Zhao is...?”

Seeing Yang Duanhe’s astonishment and peculiar gaze, Wang Jian immediately understood what he was thinking. He simply thought Zhao Feng was his illegitimate son.

”He is my future son-in-law,” Wang Jian said straightforwardly.

”What?” Yang Duanhe’s face was a mask of shock. ”General... General Zhao is the Senior General’s son-in-law? I... I have never heard of this before.”

Perhaps Yang Duanhe truly didn’t know. On that day in court, the betrothal of Zhao Feng to the Wang Family’s daughter had involved the Eldest Imperial Son of the Royal Family, Fusu. His marriage proposal had failed, and subsequently, Deputy General Zhao Feng won the favor of the Wang Family’s daughter. This was a humiliating affair for Fusu. Naturally, the ministers at court dared not discuss it excessively; matters involving the Royal Family must be handled with the utmost discretion.

Therefore, the news of Wang Jian’s daughter and Zhao Feng didn’t spread widely beyond the court ministers.

”Soon, the whole world will know,” Wang Jian said with a very pleased smile. ”The King once said that as long as Zhao Feng could hold Wei City, he would issue a royal edict for the marriage between Zhao Feng and my daughter. Now that Zhao Feng has accomplished this, a royal edict for the marriage will naturally follow once Zhao is vanquished.”

Yang Duanhe immediately cupped his fist in salute. ”Congratulations to the Senior General! A marriage by royal edict is a great honor indeed. Moreover, I’ve heard that the King has even granted a princess to General Wang in marriage. If another marriage is granted by royal edict, the Senior General’s family will be truly blessed by royal favor.”

Wang Jian smiled, feeling very happy as well. A marriage granted by the dynasty was the highest honor for matrimony; to receive it was more than enough.

”Zhao Feng has already crushed the Wei army, and the difficulty he faced was even greater than ours. He was up against an enemy several times his number! Our two main camps cannot fall behind,” Wang Jian said very seriously.

”I understand,” Yang Duanhe immediately responded.

”Go and make the arrangements. We must be ready to commence the real attack at any time,” Wang Jian said with a wave of his hand.

”Understood.” Yang Duanhe bowed and exited the tent.

Once he had left, Wang Jian’s serious expression instantly melted into a smile again as he picked up the battle report from Wei City.

This young man truly has not disappointed me. That old fool Wei Wuji actually lost to him. With such military merit, if he keeps this up, he’ll likely become Qin’s youngest Senior General one day. Yan’er’s judgment was spot-on. It was worth the risk of offending the Eldest Imperial Son to see this marriage through. Hahaha.

Wang Jian held the battle report in his hands, unable to stop himself from laughing again.

「Time gradually passed.」

「Xianyang.」

Compared to the states of Zhao and Yan, which were now ablaze with war, Qin’s capital city was peaceful. Many merchants from Zhao and Yan had come here, some seeking to escape the chaos of war, which made Xianyang prosper like never before. Across the Land of the Divine Continent, war was erupting everywhere. Qin, as a powerful state, was able to protect its citizens from its ravages.

「In the Qin Royal Palace, within the Morning Discussion Hall.」

Since Qin had commenced hostilities against Zhao, the court meetings, once held every three days, had been changed to every two days.

”Reporting to the Great King,” Yu Liao announced loudly. ”This minister has received General Li Teng’s report from Yingchuan. Within a month, the chaos within Yingchuan County will be completely pacified.”

”It seems the chaos within Yingchuan County isn’t too severe,” Ying Zheng praised. ”The instigations by Zhao and Wei did not have a major impact. Li Teng has done well.”
