"Hahaha!"

Seeing Zhao Yong's eager and pleading eyes, Jiang Ming laughed without saying a word.

Zhao Yong swallowed awkwardly and continued, "Once our Zhao family has established itself, we will definitely assist the Prime Minister in returning to the country to ascend the throne. My lord, you wouldn't only want the Yan Kingdom, would you? Don't you want the Qin Kingdom too?"

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "I'll help you, no problem! After all, we made a promise back then... However, I want all of Zhongshan!"

"What? You want all of Zhongshan?" Zhao Yong looked at Jiang Ming in surprise.

"Indeed!"

Jiang Ming laughed and said, "As compensation, I'll help you get a bigger slice of the pie from the other three doctors' territories. How about it? I know you've always coveted Handan, Changping, and Sucheng, brother... Of course, the other three have the same idea, especially Handan..."

"Uh... this?" Zhao Yong smacked his lips, lost in thought.

"I know......"

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "You think that if I occupy this strategic location of Zhongshan, I can attack or defend at will, and you can't do anything to me, right?"

"Oh dear! My friend, you're being too polite... I didn't mean it that way. It was just that this was the agreement I made with the king... It would be difficult to explain if I suddenly changed my mind."

"No need for pretense!"

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Just tell me whatever you want! Don't worry, nobody can predict how things will develop in the future, but I guarantee that I will absolutely not launch an attack on your Zhao family! I swear to God! As for going back on your word? That's nonsense. This is a negotiation, and bargaining is normal!"

"Hiss~! Hey bro!"

Zhao Yong kept clicking his tongue, then slapped his thigh and said, "Alright! It's settled then! But, my friend! When we divide up Jin, you must send troops to support us!"

"Don't worry about that!"

Jiang Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Our friendship will last forever. Even if your Zhao state goes to war with the Qin state in the future, I will still help you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yong trembled with excitement and quickly stood up to bow to Jiang Ming.

Just then, a servant came to report: "Your Excellency, the Qin envoy requests an audience!"
