Chapter 498: Competition
Su Qin said this in order to take advantage of the alcohol to continue testing the attitude of Ji Fa, the King of Qi.
However, what he got in return was Jifa's indifference.
"I've had a few too many drinks recently and I'm a little tired. Please accompany me well."
"As for state affairs, we will discuss them later."
Even the real owner is gone.
Naturally, there was no need for Su Qin to stay here.
They also said goodbye one after another.
Wait until you return to your residence.
He used several large basins of cold water to get rid of some of his drunkenness and gradually calm his mind.
Afterwards, several envoys from the Feng Kingdom asked him expectantly:
"Lord Su, I wonder if the Lord of Qi has made up his mind to make peace with our Feng Kingdom?"
Hearing this, Su Qin shook his head and scoffed, "Talk about peace? From my perspective, the King of Qi doesn't want to make peace with us."
"Don't want to make peace with our Fengguo?" Someone blurted out with a frown:
"If that's the case, then why did Lord Qi go to so much trouble to invite you to the banquet?"
Su Qin said in a deep voice, "Inviting me to the banquet was a lie, but doing it for the Qin envoy was the real deal."
"If the Lord of Qi was interested in negotiating peace with us, it would be impossible for him not to mention the peace talks between the two countries at all during the entire banquet."
"They invited me to the banquet on purpose to let the Qin envoy Zhang Yi know so that they would be extremely anxious."
"Right now, the only thing we can do is to expand the influence of this banquet."
"It makes Zhang Yi really anxious... Only by exposing Qin's intended tactics will we have a chance of victory."
At this point, Su Qin finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started vomiting.
I almost vomited out my liver and gallbladder.
The next day.
Su Qin wrote about the banquet in great detail and spread it to the people.
It is said that when King Ji Fa of Qi heard that the two countries were making peace, he was very happy, and so on.
Soon, it reached Zhang Yi's ears.
When others heard this, they were like ants on a hot pan, extremely anxious.
However, Zhang Yi remained calm and said, "Everyone, please be patient. Let's not talk about who spread this news first."
"Just tell me, if the Lord of Qi really wants to negotiate peace, why hasn't he driven us away yet?"
"Why haven't you officially announced it to the world yet?"
"It seems that Lord Qi is also hesitant. We have plenty of time and can slowly waste time with them."
He was right, Qin could afford the delay.
After all, with Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu around, the Qin army would never be short of food or water.
Moreover, Heshen personally took charge of the Ministry of Revenue.
Even those people he had gathered to learn about the art of making fine grains from all over the world had made some progress.
Successfully cultivated high-yield rice.
It is no exaggeration to say that the millions of Qin troops can stay in Yan State as long as they want.
But what about Fengguo?
Even if they have enough food.
But can you ensure that you can stay in Yan State forever?
If the Qin-Qi alliance is indestructible and keeps dragging down Feng State, it will be enough for them to suffer.
What's more, the great defeat in which the Feixiang Army was completely annihilated has made Fei Lian and E Lai the target of public criticism in the Feng State government and the country.
And Su Qin was able to enter the officialdom thanks to Fei Lian.
Therefore, he must help Fei Lian to resolve the current crisis.
This is also why.
The reason why he was so impatient to let Lord Qi make up his mind.
Having said that, if Ying Yuan had not repeatedly reminded Zhang Yi before he came.
I'm afraid Zhang Yi will also be anxious.
But now, Zhang Yi has someone to support him, so he has nothing to fear.
But Su Qin didn't.
This is the difference between the two in reality.
Two more days in a row.
The King of Qi invited Su Qin to drink every day.
On the first day, after three rounds of drinking, Su Qin asked:
"If the Emperor of Qi has no intention of forming an alliance with Qin, please drive the Qin envoy away."
"Perhaps to make his intentions known to the world, he cooked the Qin envoy."
These words scared Jifa.
There was such a deep hatred and resentment between the Qin and Feng countries that they actually wanted to cook each other?
If someone didn’t know you, they would think you were an envoy from the State of Yan.
And Su Qin was not just bragging.
He asked that question just to confirm who Jifa really loved.
However, as an emperor who grew up in the royal family, what kind of conspiracy has he not seen?
Practicing Tai Chi is the most common and basic method used by every emperor.
Ji Fa laughed and said, "I heard that you and the Qin envoy Zhang Yi are brothers, both disciples of Guigu."
"Logically speaking, you two should be as close as brothers, so why do you want to cook him?"
Su Qin responded, "Your Majesty, you may not know that although we are brothers in the same school, we rarely see each other and are actually competitors."
"What's more, now we each serve our own masters, and I am only thinking about the country."
Ji Fa nodded and said, "There's no reason for so much hatred between brothers. Let's go have a drink with him someday, and all the past will be forgotten."
The dignified Emperor of Qi State has acted as a "lobbyist" for the two brothers.
If Guiguzi knew about this, he would also praise them for their ability.
When Su Qin wanted to bring up the serious matter again.
Ji Fa then inquired about their experiences studying under Guiguzi...
The second day.
Su Qin asked, "If Your Majesty is unwilling to make peace with our state, please state clearly that I have stayed here for a long time and it is time for me to return."
These words were meant to ask Ji Fa what his attitude towards Feng State was.
