Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

”Great King, which princess do you plan to marry off to Zhao Feng?” Qing Qin tentatively asked.

”Alas, among those of suitable age, only Wuyang remains.” The King of Yan sighed.

”Princess Wuyang?”

”She is the Great King’s most cherished princess, and she has good relations with the Crown Prince, marrying her off now might stir up waves.” Qing Qin frowned.

”My edict is not something that traitorous son can comment on.”

”Besides.”

”Wuyang...”

The King of Yan’s eyes glinted with a chilly light.

Then.

”Someone, summon Wuyang to the hall for me.”

The King of Yan spoke to a temple official nearby.

”This servant obeys.” The temple official immediately left in haste.

”General Qing Qin, go make the preparations.”

”Tomorrow you will personally escort the princess to her marriage.” The King of Yan said again to Qing Qin.

”I accept the decree.” Qing Qin bowed and then retreated.

Shortly after.

A girl of tender age, adorned in palace attire, entered the King of Yan’s grand hall.

”This child greets father king.”

Upon arrival, Princess Wuyang curtsied and bowed to the King of Yan.

”Wuyang, sit.”

The King of Yan’s gaze softened as he looked at his daughter before him.

”Thank you, father king.” Wuyang sat to the side, gazing at the King of Yan respectfully.

But then.

Wuyang took the initiative to speak: ”Father, you have chosen me to marry, haven’t you?”

Upon hearing this.

The King of Yan sighed: ”Wuyang, your father has wronged you.”

”Now my Yan faces internal and external strife, our national power is greatly diminished.”

”If it hadn’t been for the intervention of Qin back then, perhaps my Yan would have been destroyed by Zhao state. Now, although the state survives, the treasury is empty, military power weakened, Zhao state is no more, yet Qin occupies the Zhao state’s territory, becoming even stronger.”
