Chen Xuan woke up one day to suddenly find himself transformed into a black dragon, a black dragon coiled above a certain child's head...
The atmosphere in the lobby relaxed a lot.
At least that's what it looks like on the surface.
The envoys from various countries all sat quietly, occasionally fiddling with the wine and food on the table, and did not make any other movements.
Ying Zheng stopped talking and just sat there, looking at the feng shui map presented by the State of Zhao on the table in front of him, and did not pay attention to the small movements of the people below.
After all, now we have everything we deserve, and everything else has been agreed upon privately.
There was no other purpose for this alliance except to gain benefits for the State of Zhao.
As for the three cities of Yan State, if they give it to you, then take it. If they don’t, then it’s no big deal.
After all, there is Zhao State between Qin and Yan, so the fewer enclaves there are, the better.
Too much will become a disaster.
When Ying Zheng asked for the three cities of Yan State, it was just to use it to threaten Zhao State, and he had no intention of taking them.
But no one expected that Le Cheng would be so stupid as to want to deny the agreement reached between Qin and Zhao.
It was a blessing in disguise, as it helped Qin gain another city.
After this alliance, Ying Zheng’s prestige is probably not limited to the Qin State, and the upper echelons of other countries will have to pay some attention to him.
After all, this Qin Emperor will be the enemy that they and their descendants will have to deal with in the future.
Back then, King Zhaoxiang of Qin had already beaten the State of Chu even though he did not have a full army. If it were not for Mengchangjun who happened to besiege Hangu Pass and almost entered Xianyang, the area of Chu would have been much smaller.
Now the Qin State has another Ying Zheng, and this Ying Zheng is much more outstanding than King Zhaoxiang of Qin when he was young.
The coalition of all these countries was almost beaten to the point of being disoriented. Now that a stronger force has come up, I'm afraid they will be destroyed.
But this is not what they are considering now.
Although the alliance has failed, it has been formed after all. At least there will be no war within three years, which is a good thing.
The envoys from various countries in the lobby were all relaxed and no longer as depressed as before, except for the envoy from Yan State, Gongzi Dan.
The Yan envoy, Prince Dan, was kneeling there alone. The Zhao envoy, Qu Zheng, had already come forward and collected Lian Po's body and Le Cheng's arm.
Now, only Master Dan is in this corner.
From morning till this afternoon, he had not eaten a single meal or drank a sip of water.
He didn't dare to ask for it, nor did he dare to rush out and question Ying Zheng like he did yesterday.
The youthful arrogance in his heart had been completely shattered by Ying Zheng, leaving not a trace left.
Now he only prayed that Ying Zheng would not remember the three cities of Yan State, otherwise he would not know how to go back and explain to his father, King Xi of Yan.
Chen Xuan has been watching the fortune in the entire lobby.
It was boring and there was no movement from Beast Armor, and the other countries did not take any other actions. Even the tasks previously issued by Beast Armor had disappeared and were still in an unfinished state.
As for Li Si and Han Fei, they were not introduced because Ying Zheng had been busy with the alliance for the past two days.
But it's almost over.
Time passed slowly, and Ying Zheng no longer felt embarrassed. He looked up at the envoys below and said, "I think it is getting late. The envoys of various countries and the Zhou emperor have prepared generous gifts!"
The envoys from various countries naturally understood what Ying Zheng meant and stopped procrastinating.
Chunshen Jun rose slightly, bowed, and said, "The Chu State offers a gift of ten thousand ounces of gold and three thousand cattle and sheep to congratulate the Emperor on his long life."
Ying Zheng returned the greeting slightly and said, "On behalf of the Emperor, I thank the King of Chu for his kindness."
But no one knows who the Son of Heaven here refers to.
The envoys from other countries did not waste time and presented their gifts one after another. Although their gifts were not as good as the one from Chu, they were not shabby either.
The State of Zhao also added an extra 20,000 taels of gold as a gift, but no cattle or sheep. The gold and silver that had been saved were spent again.
Except for Prince Dan of Yan, all the envoys paid their respects, returned to their seats, and waited for Ying Zheng to announce the end.
However, looking at Ying Zheng's appearance, it seemed as if he was still waiting for something.
"Emissary from the State of Yan, are you, the State of Yan, disrespecting the Emperor? All the nations have sent their congratulatory gifts, but only the State of Yan has not. Do you think you look down on Great Qin, on all the nations, and on the Emperor?"
Wang He knew what Ying Zheng meant and had given him the same instructions later, so he was just waiting for him to speak.
As for Ying Zheng, he naturally looked at Gongzi Dan coldly. Chen Xuan also knew it, so he stuck his head out and looked at the luck on Gongzi Dan's head - a deer, a blue little deer.
The deer was frightened by Chen Xuan and dared not move, just like Gongzi Dan was frightened by Wang He and Ying Zheng and dared not move.
"If Yan State truly despises Great Qin, other states, and the Emperor, then I wouldn't mind raising an army again, marching to Yan's capital, Ji, to personally ask the King of Yan if he truly despises me."
Ying Zheng looked at Prince Dan who dared not move, and Tai'a in his hand seemed to be raised up and facing him.
"Do any of you nations have any objections? Or are the gifts you offer merely an attempt to pressure the Qin army, rather than a true tribute to the Emperor?"
The envoys from various countries had never expected this to happen. They all seemed to be speechless and had no words to say.
Chunshen Jun naturally understood what Ying Zheng meant and did not mind giving up the State of Yan.
After all, a character who stabs his own allies doesn't mind being sold out.
"The Emperor of Qin is right." Chunshen Jun stood up and turned to look at Prince Dan. "Your State of Yan has no gifts to offer. Do you really look down on Qin, other states, and even the Emperor?"
Seeing that Prince Dan remained silent, Lord Chunshen continued, "If this is indeed the case, then my Chu State wouldn't mind joining forces with Qin to march to the capital of Yan to demand an explanation."
