The most important thing now is to avoid being destroyed by Qin. On this basis, ceding land and paying compensation are the least of our worries.
Hou Sheng immediately laughed, took out the tiger talisman from his arms, handed it to King Youmiu of Zhao, and said, "Your Majesty, hold it firmly. This is worth 100,000 soldiers from Qi."
King Youmiu of Zhao was stunned for a moment. After all, this was just a sudden idea, and it was actually guessed by the so-called Marquis of Qi.
At this time, King Youmiu of Zhao thought of something.
The current king of Qi should be King Jing of Qi. The rumor is absurd and he is supported entirely by the king and queen.
Now that the king and queen are gone, it stands to reason that such a plan would be impossible, nor would there be such foresight.
However, despite his doubts, King Zhao Youmiu took the tiger talisman and held it tightly in his hand. He did not try to verify its authenticity. He just straightened his face and asked:
"I have seen the King of Qi's sincerity, so I will not make things difficult for him. Let's arrange a date so I can make room for the 100,000 soldiers."
"It's the Marquis of Qi. Your Majesty, please don't exaggerate." Hou Sheng mentioned it again before continuing, "This kind of thing can't be explained clearly now. It won't be too late to decide it after the various countries have discussed it."
King Youmiu of Zhao nodded, but he couldn't help but wonder, "King of Qi... Why would the Marquis of Qi be willing to abdicate his title? Could it be that the Son of Heaven has already descended?"
Apart from the powerful oppression of Ying Zheng, who else could force the State of Qi to give up its title of king?
"Although the Son of Heaven has descended, he has yet to be found. As for why my Qi Hou abdicated his title, it was simply because the Great Zhou still existed, so how could he overstep his bounds?"
Hou Sheng was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke as if it was normal. But King Youmiu of Zhao would never believe it. After all, if he truly respected the emperor, he would not claim to be king, let alone usurp the throne.
He just frowned and said, "The King of Qi... Marquis of Qi actually has such awareness?"
Hou Sheng smiled and said, "After all, the power of our Qi Hou is known throughout history. The eight hundred years of Zhou Dynasty's prosperity depended entirely on our Qi Hou alone."
King Youmiu of Zhao was already somewhat confused to begin with, and now he understood even less. He could only sarcastically say, "I never thought that the king who replaced Qi could have such power."
Hou Sheng also knew that King Youmiao of Zhao was thinking of something, so he straightened his expression, glanced around, and whispered in King Youmiao's ear, "My family's Marquis of Qi is named Lü Shang."
Yeosang? Yeosang?!
He was still a little confused at first, but now King Zhao Youmiu understood everything completely. He looked at Hou Sheng in horror and saw that he did not seem to be lying.
He no longer dared to speak in a sinister tone, and simply said, "I understand. As for the title of king, as soon as the alliance is successful, I will give it up myself."
After saying this, he looked at Hou Sheng and said, "If there is nothing else, the envoy can go down and rest."
Hou Sheng did not stay any longer. He just apologized and followed the Zhao cavalry archers down.
King Youmiu of Zhao looked at Hou Sheng's departing back and his expression gradually became ugly.
After all, it's not a good thing for that person to be alive.
The whole of China can tell one or two stories about that legendary figure!
