He turned his head slightly, glanced at the armor in the sky, muttered something, and saw a suit of armor blocking King Zhao Youmiu.
"What does the envoy mean?" King Youmiu of Zhao was also a little angry. Now that he had calmed down a little, he regained some temper. "Do you think that because Qi is so powerful, you can bully Zhao at will?"
What is said here is naturally an irony, not that Qi is powerful, but just a reminder to Hou Sheng not to forget why he came.
Hou Sheng also humbled himself, his smiling face looking a little strange. He said, "How could a minister like me have such thoughts? However, the matter of the alliance is of great importance, so it is better for me to discuss it with the king personally."
Li Mu and Qu Zheng remained silent. Firstly, King Youmiu of Zhao was still present, so it was not their turn to interrupt. Secondly, Hou Sheng's presence was ill-intentioned and his presence was considerable.
This kind of game is not something that mortals like them can interfere with.
"Don't you think the envoys look down on our Zhao State? Qi State even sent a prime minister to discuss the matter, but I asked the prime minister and the general to meet them together. Is that not acceptable? Are you unworthy?!"
After all, I was born with destiny, so how could I let others manipulate me like this? He narrowed his eyes and shouted angrily.
Seeing the situation, the surrounding Zhao cavalry archers gathered around, looking at Hou Sheng and the one hundred and two suits of armor floating in the sky.
Hou Sheng was not flustered. Instead, he laughed strangely and said, "Has the King of Zhao forgotten the power of the Emperor of Qin in Qi?"
King Youmiu of Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and laughed angrily. He was about to scold, but he suddenly remembered something and his face instantly became ugly.
Under the powerful situation of Emperor Ying Zheng of Qin, Qi State was able to survive and send this group of people to discuss the issue of forming an alliance, which means that Qi State was not weak at all.
At this time, King Youmiu of Zhao took a serious look at the group of armors floating in the air. He saw that although they were restrained, they were still extremely powerful.
"You two go back. I will discuss the issue of the alliance with the envoy in detail." King Youmiu of Zhao finally compromised and sent Li Mu and Qu Zheng away with a stern face.
The two of them had no objections, but they felt a little uncomfortable, so they apologized and left.
After Hou Sheng and the other two had completely disappeared, he continued to speak to King Youmiu of Zhao, "Your Majesty, please do not blame the foreign ministers for their arrogance. It is just that the words they said later were shocking and far beyond their ability to listen."
King Youmiu of Zhao simply waved his hand, frowning and saying, "Messenger, just speak your mind. As long as it's not excessive, I will agree to it."
"Since the king has said so, then I will not hide it any more."
Hou Sheng chuckled and continued, "My Qi Hou hopes that Your Majesty will give up the title of king. This will also facilitate future alliances."
King Youmiu of Zhao's expression was already ugly, and now it became even more ferocious.
Hou Sheng had been saying that the King of Qi was the Marquis of Qi since the beginning, and King Youmiu of Zhao thought it was a mistake and didn't take it too seriously. Now, when he heard it again, how could he not understand what he meant?
But he couldn't tear his face apart, so Shan sneered and said, "If Qi is so sincere, then there's no need to mention the alliance anymore. I can't afford it."
Hou Sheng also knew how shocking his words were. After all, for this group of people, they still had to maintain some superficial decency.
"Your Majesty, please agree. The Marquis of Qi has only failed to find the King of Zhou. If he does, Your Majesty will also be considered to have made a contribution."
Hou Sheng was afraid that King Youmiu of Zhao might not understand, so he emphasized the word "Son of Heaven" a little more.
King Youmiu of Zhao originally wanted to make a sarcastic remark, after all, the Emperor of Zhou was not comparable to the Emperor of Qin, but seeing Hou Sheng's serious expression and listening carefully, he instantly understood.
"How does this emperor compare to the Qin emperor?"
Although he had the answer in his mind, King Youmiu of Zhao still asked another question without giving up.
Hou Sheng also knew what answer King Zhao Youmiao wanted. Although he knew he couldn't win, in order to reassure King Zhao Youmiao, he said it: "What is the difference between the emperors?"
King Youmiu of Zhao's expression instantly turned colorful. Hou Sheng's answer didn't mean that if it was an affirmative answer, nor did it mean that if it was a negative answer.
If it is ambiguous and people can't understand it, they will be more cautious and avoid making mistakes.
"I understand." King Zhao Youmiu rubbed the fingers of his right hand together, "We'll talk about this later."
Hou Sheng knew that King Youmiu of Zhao had already started to worry, so he stopped pressing him so hard. He simply changed the subject and continued, "My Qi Hou said that if Qin wanted to move eastward, it would have to pass through Han and Zhao, and he wanted to gather the talents of all the countries in these two places. Therefore..."
"So you want to borrow the land to station troops and defend yourself against the might of Qin, right?"
King Youmiu of Zhao interrupted Hou Sheng and sarcastically said what he wanted to say in advance.
Hou Sheng would not be angry either. He knew every detail of the matter and did not expect to be able to hide it.
"Your Majesty is wise."
Hou Sheng only gave a compliment, but the compliment sounded particularly harsh, at least that's how it sounded to King Youmiao of Zhao.
"Oh!"
King Youmiu of Zhao sneered and did not rush to answer. He just thought about it, looking at the jade pendant he had taken out from somewhere, rubbing and playing with it.
There is no need to rush to win later. After all, the Qin army has not arrived yet. At most, it is just on the verge of Han. There is no need to be too anxious.
In addition, the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Zhao have the same origin and are not far away from each other, so it doesn't take much time to travel back and forth.
I don't know how much time passed, but I felt it grow darker outside before King Youmiao of Zhao finally spoke: "I can allow Qi to station troops there, but the tiger talisman must be returned to me, otherwise, there is no discussion."
Although King Youmiu of Zhao knew the purpose of the tiger talisman, he could only hope that the State of Qi would be reasonable.
