No one expected that such a ridiculous welcoming banquet would come to an abrupt end so quickly.
"Your Majesty, these two armies fought without killing the envoys. This..."
Li Si said hesitantly.
"I did kill them, but they just stayed in the prison for a few days."
At this point, Ying Zheng had no intention of attending the banquet and quickly asked everyone else to go back.
But Zhao Jun and Fusu followed Ying Zheng back to his front hall.
"That old man, the Duke of Chu, really has wishful thinking."
"It seems that we need to ask Wang Jian to speed up the progress."
Ying Zheng returned to his room and sat down.
"Father, the Chu State's actions are indeed too extreme."
Fusu followed behind him and echoed.
Before, his mother always told him how great the State of Chu was, but now it seems that may not be the case.
His friendship towards the State of Chu was probably one-sided.
Zhao Jun followed behind and quietly found a place to sit down without saying a word.
"The incident with your mother was instigated by those people over there. Now that she's useless, they want to send someone new in."
"I wonder what Mrs. Chu would think if she knew her parents' attitude."
Ying Zheng said this with contempt. He looked down on people who sold their daughters for fame and fortune from the bottom of his heart.
"well."
Fusu didn't know how to answer. He didn't want to slander his mother, but it seemed that the moral character of the Chu royal family was indeed questionable.
"Alright, the Chu royal family is indeed confused, but there's no need to worry too much. In the end, they will all be wiped out by us."
Zhao Jun spoke in an extremely domineering manner.
"The Duke of Chu is the same. If you have this time, you'd better recruit troops and think of countermeasures. Going to Qin to flatter is useless."
She said it bluntly, but that was exactly what she meant.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with these envoys? It's not good to kill them all, or keep them locked up in the prison forever?"
Originally, Zhao Jun didn't want to get involved in the battlefield affairs between the two countries.
But now that the person had danced in front of her, she had no choice but to ask.
"Let's lock them up in the Heavenly Prison for a few days, and then send people to drive them all out of Xianyang."
Ying Zheng disdained to kill the envoy, but a small punishment was still necessary.
Especially since they dared to target Fusu.
"Are the two girls going back together?"
Zhao Jun asked again.
"Why, do you still want to stay with Fusu?"
Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows.
Fusu was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly at the King of Zhao.
"How is that possible? I'm that kind of person. I was just asking casually."
"Really? I thought you wanted to stay by yourself. Just now I saw that you were very interested in those two girls."
Ying Zheng said in a deep voice, glancing at her lightly.
"No, I didn't. I showed it to you, Your Majesty. I thought he was definitely going to give it to you, so I took a look at it for you."
"Look for me? Not just anyone can be put into my harem."
Ying Zheng said this and glared at her silently again.
"Really? But I see there are many beautiful girls in the harem. Aren't they all presented by other vassal states?"
Mr. Zhao retorted.
Ying Zheng choked.
"That was all a few years ago. They were all sent by the vassal states when they wanted to curry favor with me."
"Aren't these two now?"
Isn't this also Chu's way of flattering? What's the difference from before?
"Now, humph, I still need their flattery."
What Ying Zheng said was true. Many people in his palace were accepted by his mother when he was young.
Since he came to power, he rarely accepted people sent by other countries.
Even if there are most of them, I don’t know where they are now.
"Yes, yes, the king is amazing."
Zhao Jun flattered her very half-heartedly and rolled his eyes several times in his heart.
Let’s end this topic quickly.
Fusu just sat opposite them and watched the two of them bickering.
He turned his head to look at his father and then glanced at Zhao Jun, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I wish you were my mother."
He spoke softly, but the two people opposite him finally heard it.
Fusu felt something was wrong when he said this.
Although his mother did have some shortcomings, she was the one who gave birth to him after all.
Besides, it’s already great that Mr. Zhao can be my husband.
When he thought about this and looked up at Zhao Jun again, he found that the two people opposite him were looking at him.
Zhao Jun glared at him, which was rare.
"That's impossible!"
She spoke loudly to Fusu.
Ying Zheng turned to look at her again and retorted.
"Why not?"
"Why else could it be? If I were Fusu's mother, wouldn't I have to be your wife? How can that be possible?"
"I am a high-ranking official with an important mission. How could I possibly be your wife in the palace?"
Zhao Jun rolled his eyes again and spoke as a matter of course.
When Ying Zheng heard her say this, it seemed to be true.
Although Zhao Jun is beautiful and intelligent, she still wins his heart.
But if she really became his wife, he would not be able to continue building the empire.
Between being a wife and building an empire, Ying Zheng had to bear the pain and choose to build an empire.
He didn't think of it at this time.
In fact, Zhao Jun can fully perform both being a wife and building an empire.
The conversation between the few of them ended here hastily.
In the next few days, the Chu State was still anxiously waiting for news from this side.
However, they found that Wang Jian's army on the border of Chu not only had no signs of retreating, but instead set up camp very close to Chu.
It seems that they are prepared for a long battle.
More than a month passed.
When Mi Yuan and his entourage returned to the State of Chu in tatters, the Duke of Chu was so frightened when he heard Ying Zheng's declaration of war that he almost fainted.
"So, in the end, the king really did keep them in the prison for seven days, then took away most of their money and let them walk back on their own?"
Several people gathered in the workshop and told the story of the Chu envoy as a joke.
"Yeah, it's good enough that I left them some money to go back."
Meng Yi sat aside and laughed.
You should know that Meng Yi was also present at the banquet that day.
He almost thought that the king was going to kill these people.
Sparing their lives is already a generosity.
"The demise of the Chu State is inevitable."
Fusu also sighed, but it was no longer a sigh of worry but a sigh of regret.
"Who in this world can stop the king now?"
Xiao He sat on the other side and spoke leisurely, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over the others and landing on Zhao Jun.
Noticing Xiao He's gaze, Zhao Jun looked back and smiled faintly.
“No one can stop the pace of great unification.”
"Within five years, the world will be united."
Her tone was flat and calm, yet convincing.
It was as if she had predicted that future.
When the others heard her say this, they felt a sense of heroism rising from the bottom of their hearts.
With the world united, is this century-long struggle really going to end?
And Qin will become the only winner.
