"If you can't get it, I will give you a cup of poisoned wine and let you end your life."
Qi Peng took a step back. He didn't know how to play Go, and what he said made him feel very nervous and panicked.
Wait a minute.
"I am the Crown Prince of Dongwu. How can I be swayed by your words? What do you think I am, huh?"
Nowadays, I think Qi Peng is the only one who can speak so confidently in someone else's territory.
"Then I have to be good—"
Zhao Xin dragged out the words and deliberately didn't finish them, intending to let the man figure it out himself.
"Ahem, how about I send you some beautiful maids? Nowadays, what king doesn't love women? I'll send you thirty or fifty of them."
Zhao Xin couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
"I don't need it. Why are you trying to please me now? I just want to find someone who can be my rival. It's not a big problem, so how about..."
Zhao Xin's reputation as a chess player is well-deserved. His fame has been growing since he was a child. His current appearance makes people even more feared. He is commonly known as the god of chess. Now people actually ask him to play chess. Isn't this just asking for trouble?
"I am not stupid. I don't have so many people to entertain you."
However, when he turned around, he remembered a person who claimed to be an excellent chess player. Since he said that, he must have some ability.
"what?"
"Your Majesty, I can actually bring you one. As for winning or losing, I have no say in the matter. How about that?"
"Alright, it's a best-of-three game. Just win one game against me, and I won't punish you in any other way. But do you know that you gave me a lot of trouble half a month ago?"
"I just entered this Great Qin half a month ago and was still having fun outside. How did I provoke you?"
The two men argued endlessly.
Zhao Xin indeed discovered a problem. Whenever he met Qi Peng, he couldn't help but let down his guard. He didn't know whether it was a problem with his original body or Qi Peng's own aura.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you so stunned? The war is getting intense right now, and a group of soldiers in Eastern Wu have risen up and are causing unrest."
Zhao Xin chuckled, feeling that what he said was a bit inconsiderate.
"Why, what does your Dongwu have to do with my Great Qin if something happens to it? Besides, if your Dongwu can't even solve this kind of thing, you might as well surrender to my Great Qin."
Ruthless person.
The territory of Eastern Wu is not small, it is considered to be among the top five, and it is covered with many vassal states and territories. If these two were to merge, the Qin Dynasty would be the most powerful and would occupy nearly half of the territory.
"Stop it."
"I'm not making a fuss. If you really consider coming to my Great Qin, the Great Qin will definitely send troops to support you."
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you. If you don't want the female attendants, then I will take them all away. After all, I have worked so hard to find thirty stunning beauties from your Great Qin."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhao Xin finally understood. This Qi Peng was such a philanderer, he even collected thirty stunning beauties from his own Qin dynasty. Zhao Xin knew how picky he was, having previously said he looked down upon several of his concubines.
This time... I'm afraid I'll find someone who is extremely beautiful.
Zhao Xin nodded, then criticized him, then winked at Xiao Chenzi beside him. Xiao Chenzi understood and quickly set off to take a look at the so-called imprisonment of the thirty beauties.
When the door was opened, there were indeed thirty stunning beauties.
But the little face was tearful, and it looked like he had been crying.
"Can you please rescue us? A man suddenly kidnapped me and told me to go to Dongwu and become rich and powerful. Is he going to sell us out..."
The little Chenzi was slightly speechless.
"If the prince thought you were treating him as a human trafficker, he would probably faint on the spot."
Prince?!
Most of the women were excited. The crown prince of Wu had a territory second only to that of Qin, and the terrain was favorable. If he could really give birth to another child...
"Your Majesty specifically ordered me to come here to investigate. If you want to leave, I will..."
The group shook their heads in unison and sat down, their entire bodies behaving like they were in class, which made people feel pity for them. As expected of this prince, he was an expert at selecting people. Little Chenzi really couldn't resist.
The remaining few people also quietly peeked in and asked.
"Can you really let me go? My mother must be anxiously waiting at home. I'm afraid she'll go out looking for me. Her eyesight is not good, so I just make a living by collecting herbs every day."
Those who heard this moved to tears.
"If you want to leave, then come here and follow me..."
"Oh, what a trick! How come your Majesty said he didn't want this woman and then regretted it and wanted to take them all to the harem? There's no room for negotiation."
"You, you are robbing the people of my Great Qin. This is called seizure. This eunuch will arrest you and imprison you in Lin's prison to make you reflect on your actions!"
"Are you, a eunuch, worthy of this?"
Qi Peng had a cold expression outside. Although he was laughing and joking with Zhao Xin, no one dared to talk to him like that. Don't think that he would not care just because he was a eunuch.
After coughing twice, the two guards around Qi Peng shook their hands fiercely, looking very fierce. They looked more like the reckless Zhang Fei.
"Why don't you leave quickly? Besides, your Majesty didn't care about me, so why would he bother to care about me? I'm not someone who can be controlled so easily, am I?"
Xiao Chenzi narrated the whole story with a pale face.
"But are those people really from the Great Qin?"
"I'm not sure, but the accent is that of the Great Qin people, and the clothes are the same, just like what ordinary people wear."
Based on his understanding of Qi Peng, he wouldn't do something like this to just randomly snatch someone away. And subconsciously, Zhao Xin wouldn't think that way either.
"I have ordered them to investigate whether there are any cases of abduction and trafficking or missing persons. In particular, they should inquire with the various county governments. I want the results now and don't want to wait until these people leave."
The people under them had a miserable life, running around all day. Furthermore, the envoys and governors had to diligently check if any of their subordinates had lost anything, but most of them lied or even concealed the truth. After all, the stolen goods had to pass the scrutiny of the governors and others.
The best way is to give some gifts to these officials and offer them some sympathy, so that no one dares to say anything about the kidnapping. Moreover, the governor does not care, and the common people are even more helpless, so even though they have been kidnapped, they dare not say anything.
"Your Majesty, I haven't received any useful clues. Even if I submit them, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Those people simply don't know how to..."
"I understand."
"Your Majesty, what I am saying is—"
"I understand. You can leave first."
