Chunshen Jun slowly opened his eyes.

The lobby scene is still in front of me.

Chen Xuan did not use any ruthless force. After all, if this person really died in Qin, died in Anyi, and died in front of envoys from various countries, then Qin could retreat to Hangu Pass.

Although Chunshen Jun did not have the same power as Xinling Jun and his status was lower than the other three princes, he should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that this person can be considered as a relative of Empress Dowager Huayang.

Just as Ying Zheng thought, he could not give face to anyone else, but he had to give face to Queen Dowager Huayang.

As for the Queen Mother Huayang's special favor for Ying Zheng.

If King Xiaowen of Qin had not particularly favored Ying Zheng, how could Queen Dowager Huayang have raised Ying Zheng as her own descendant?

Maybe he has developed feelings for her, but if he really takes action against Empress Dowager Huayang's family, it would be somewhat embarrassing.

Ying Zichu doesn't have much time left, and Ying Zheng is still young. Although almost all the forces in the army have turned to Ying Zheng, if the Queen Mother Huayang really makes a fuss, it will be a scandal, a huge scandal.

"Lord Chunshen, have you rested enough?" Ying Zheng's voice came. He had just been resting in the back, leaving the envoys in the room outside.

"If you haven't rested well, then find someone else to talk to. I'm afraid you might die here by accident. I can't afford that."

Chunshen Jun's dry face showed a half-smile, which looked particularly creepy.

Although he was not quite sure why he suddenly fainted, he was absolutely certain that his fainting was related to Ying Zheng.

Was it drugging, or was it the power of God?!

Chunshen Jun didn't know and didn't want to know.

The only thing he had to consider now was how to turn the tables. After all, the little initiative he had just had was gone because of Chunshen Jun's fainting.

"Thank you, Emperor Qin, for your concern. However, my body is still strong enough to hold on, so there is no need to change. Let's get started."

Chunshen Jun stood up and saluted, then looked up at Ying Zheng with a calm expression on his face.

Ying Zheng knew that this old man probably couldn't get down, and he would probably continue to argue for a while, but this time he was not targeting the State of Chu, so he naturally didn't care much.

He just said "hmm" and stopped looking at Chunshen Jun. Instead, he looked at Qu Zheng, the envoy of Zhao State who didn't dare to look up.

This person is a bit shrewd, so you need to be careful.

These were Chen Xuan's exact words, so Ying Zheng would naturally listen. However, this caution was just talk, and he wouldn't really be careful. At most, he would just be on the lookout.

"Emissary from Zhao, I asked Le Cheng yesterday about Zhao's compensation. Why is his statement different from what I knew? Could it be that Zhao still refuses to acknowledge the claim and wants to fight with Great Qin?"

Qu Zheng's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

When Le Cheng was carried back yesterday, he was half-breathing. He was lying there half-dead and couldn't say anything when asked.

No other attendants followed him in, and the envoys from other countries did not tell him what happened yesterday, so how could he know what Le Cheng said yesterday.

Now that Ying Zheng had asked, Qu Zheng had no choice but to answer. He stood up and greeted, putting on a smile and saying:

"Your Majesty, you are joking. The amount agreed upon by the foreign ministers and General Lu is what our State of Zhao will pay. It will not be less than a single cent. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Ying Zheng's expression remained calm, his right hand resting on the table to support his chin. He looked at Qu Zheng and said, "When will the Zhao envoy deliver the geomancy map covering five cities from Changping to Shangjun, as well as the 100,000 taels of gold? I can't wait any longer."

Qu Zhengyuan's smiling face suddenly froze. He looked up at Ying Zheng and asked in disbelief, "Did the Emperor of Qin misunderstand something? The foreign minister was..."

Before Qu Zheng could finish, Ying Zheng slammed Tai'a onto the table. He looked at Qu Zheng with a cold expression and said angrily, "What on earth did I misunderstand? Are you unwilling to honor the conditions Zhao promised you back then?"

The envoys from various countries in the hall all lowered their heads. They naturally knew that it was impossible for Zhao State to promise such generous conditions, but so what.

When the State of Zhao acted arrogantly yesterday, it was destined to be harassed today.

The smile on Qu Zheng's face froze completely. He really couldn't figure out what was wrong with Le Cheng yesterday that he actually increased the compensation by nearly double.

However, even so, Qu Zheng had to stretch his face forward and let Ying Zheng step on him. Only when Ying Zheng felt comfortable with the stepping could they talk again.

"Did General Lu fail to explain clearly to the Emperor of Qin? The foreign ministers originally agreed to five cities and thirty thousand taels of gold. How come the amount was doubled?"

Qu Zheng had already made concessions, paying one more city as compensation and losing 20,000 taels of gold.

Now we can only pray that Ying Zheng will no longer be greedy. If he takes one more step forward, I am afraid that Qu Zheng will commit suicide here and have no face to return to Zhao.

Although returning to Zhao would probably mean death, it was a way to vent King Zhao Daoxiang's anger.

Le Cheng alone might not be enough, adding him might be just right.

Ying Zheng naturally knew that Qu Zheng had given up a city, so he stopped pressing him and decided to stop while he was ahead.

After all, Chunshen Jun was ready to make a move. If he really quarreled with Zhao's envoy Qu Zheng again, Chunshen Jun would definitely find a chance to intervene and say something.

"Oh? That's because Prime Minister Lu didn't explain it clearly. It was also because the noise at the banquet was too loud, so I didn't hear it clearly."

Ying Zheng calmly put away the Tai'a sword.

"Now that we've made it clear, envoy from Zhao, when will you present the geomancy maps of the five cities? The gold can come later, but the geomancy maps can't be delayed any longer."
