My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 974: No true god worships the boy, the skinny rat in the toilet makes people laugh! When indecisive, let it go!
Inside the palace, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao raised their glasses to celebrate.

His Majesty Qilin had already turned into a sea of ​​joy.

"Come on! Drink to win!"

"You and I have already been drinking before the king arrives. Is this disrespectful to the king?"

"Captain Xue, don't worry too much. This is what happens every time we destroy a country and return to a banquet!"

"Every time a country is destroyed... for the words of Commander Su, we should drink to victory!"

Xue Liang, Lu Shao and other former Qi generals were originally waiting for Ying Zheng trembling with fear, stiffness and respect, but Su Jiao drank three cups of wine without any explanation, and Xue Liang and other former Qi generals had no choice but to drink with him carefully.

When they saw that all the Qin army generals looked relaxed and casual as if they were back home, Xue Liang and others let go of their tension and even took the initiative to take jars of wine and go to the Qin army generals to drink and chat. They only glanced at the stairs of the Qilin Hall from time to time, ready to sit down obediently if they noticed any movement.

But the ministers and generals sitting in the Qilin Hall had no intention of paying attention to the soldiers below the stage.

"To be honest with you, Zheng Xian, I have been searching for Zheng Xian for several years. Whenever I heard of Zheng Xian's whereabouts, I would set out, but I never got to see him. Now that I finally get to see Zheng Xian, it is truly a blessing from heaven! This title is for Zheng Xian!"

"I'm sorry to ask Immortal Zheng to give me a fairy date. My son is seriously ill and it's hard to cure. I'm heartbroken!"

"Doctor Sun, what you said is indeed presumptuous. It is a great honor for Daqin to have the help of Zheng Xian. It is even more so for us. How can we not be satisfied? May I ask if Zheng Xian is free tomorrow? I will hold a grand banquet to entertain Zheng Xian!"

A high-ranking and highly respected official surrounded Zheng Anqi and other twelve immortals to curry their favor, hoping to get closer to the immortals and even ask for a chance to become an immortal.

Facing the eager gazes, Zheng Anqi responded with a gentle, loving, distant and somewhat condescending gaze, and nodded gently, saying: "The word 'fate' is wonderful beyond words."

"If our destiny had not yet come, it would have been difficult for you and I to meet."

Zheng Anqi turned to look at Gan Qiong and Xu Min and said with a smile: "We are already close now. I will have more opportunities to chat with you, Gan and Xu, in the future."

Gan Qiong was very surprised: "Gan and Zheng Xian have a strong bond?!"

"Can you please speak frankly, Zheng Xian?!"

Xu Min's eyes lit up as well, and he bowed respectfully and said, "This is really my honor!"

"I wonder if Zheng Xian will be free tomorrow? Xu will prepare a bed for you!"

Zheng Anqi smiled inwardly.

Gan Qiong is the Taicang Order of the Qin Dynasty's Grain Administration, in charge of the transportation and storage of Qin's grain and fodder. Xu Min is the Ji Tian Order and Agricultural Research Officer of Qin Dynasty, in charge of the promotion of Qin's golden juice method of treating manure and the verification of new farming methods. Won't there be plenty of opportunities for them to meet Zheng Anqi more often in the future?

But Zheng Anqi habitually did not want to speak out, he just smiled faintly, took out an ancient gourd from his sleeve, poured the water in the gourd into the wine cup, and then raised the cup and said: "Zheng has not eaten the five grains of the world for a long time, so as to avoid the foul air entering the body and damaging the practice."

"Today, I will use nectar instead of wine to celebrate with you, my friends!"

Not accepting food or drinks handed to you by strangers when you are out is a basic skill that you must remember when traveling in the world.

Not getting drunk in front of outsiders and keeping a clear mind at all times are necessary self-discipline to avoid a house collapse.

When it comes to acting, Zheng Anqi is professional!

Facing the immortal, the ministers did not dare to force him, but instead raised their cups together in honor of him: "Toast to victory!"

A large group of courtiers gathered around each immortal, and every courtier's face was filled with enthusiasm and flattery.

Only Lu Buwei, Wei Liao, Wei Zhuang, Wang Jian and other three dukes, nine ministers and generals who sat at the top of the stairs stood still like a mountain.

Li Si gently sipped the warm wine and said with a faint smile: "Today I finally understand what it means to not see the true God."

"The Lord Chang'an who can win the respect of all the immortals is in my Great Qin, but you colleagues don't try to get close to him. Instead, you pay extra attention to the twelve boys under Lord Chang'an's seat."

"Isn't this a skinny rat in the toilet?"

The reason why the Three Dukes, Nine Ministers and Generals stood still was not because they were not interested in immortality and gods, but because they knew better who the true God was, and they were also qualified to meet and chat with the true God.

If that’s the case, why should they try to please the boy under the throne of the true God!

Wei Zhuang smiled and shook his head: "The reason why the skinny rat in the toilet lives in the toilet is just because the granary is far away."

"When Lord Chang'an takes his seat, Li Shangqing will watch again!"

"Speaking of which, the king and Chang'an Jun have been in the palace for a long time. I don't know how the king and Chang'an Jun talked."

Wei Liao was also worried when he heard this: "In this battle, Chang'an Jun only forced the old Qi to surrender, but did not defeat the old Qi, so the old Qi dignitaries and powerful people still have considerable power."

"The powerful and wealthy people in Qi have always despised our Great Qin. Once the powerful and wealthy people in Qi gather together, Qi will surely be in chaos!"

"Even if the Qi nobles are not in chaos, they will still hinder the government orders of our Great Qin, pretend to obey our Great Qin but secretly disobey it, and even secretly harbor the power to cause chaos."

"But if we can get Lord Chang'an to guard Guqi, then our Great Qin won't have to worry about any changes in Guqi."

"Moreover, Lord Chang'an enjoys a very high reputation among the people of Qi. If Lord Chang'an can lead Qi to submit, the people of Qi will surely be more willing to be loyal to Great Qin and be used by Great Qin as soon as possible."

"However, this matter still requires the approval of Lord Chang'an!"

As he spoke, Wei Liao couldn't help but curse in his heart: Why couldn't Qi fight two tough battles with my Great Qin before dying!

This directly made the former Qi territory a hotter potato than the former Han, former Chu, and former Zhao.

At a time when officials are scarce, this piece of treasury is even hotter than it was in the past for the old Chu state!
Fortunately, the Qin Dynasty still has a trump card.

When indecisive, let it go!

Of course, even if Ying Chengjiao was thrown to the ancient Qi land, there would still be a possibility of chaos in the ancient Qi land, but so what? Just kill a bunch of them! Let the world see what it means to have a river of blood!
It is true that Ying Chengjiao might act without orders as he had lived outside the Great Qin for a long time, and demolish other people's houses before the Qin Dynasty could react, but so what?
Anyway, the emperor and his ministers of the Great Qin can’t sleep anymore, so how can the emperors and ministers of Dai, Yan and Zhao sleep?

Only Lu Buwei said with a stern face: "I still think this strategy is inappropriate."

"And I think Lord Chang'an will not agree to this plan!"

By imprisoning Ying Chengjiao in Guanzhong, he would give the Qin Dynasty a huge surprise (scare) every year or two.

How dare you exile Ying Chengjiao to the land of Qi for two full years?
You are really crazy!
Wei Liao wanted to argue with Lu Buwei, but Li Si spoke first: "Your Majesty, the Lord of Chang'an is here!"

Following Li Si, the eunuchs' proud voices suppressed the noise in the courtyard.

"The king is here!"

All the ministers and soldiers stopped talking, put down their wine cups, bowed and shouted in the direction of Qilin Hall:

"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Ying Zheng strode out of the Qilin Hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and walked towards the end of the stairs in high spirits.

At Ying Zheng's side, Ying Chengjiao, who had taken off his heavy armor and put on a crown, walked side by side with Ying Zheng. There was no longer the cold murderous intent on his face, but instead a hint of... grievance?
Seeing this, Lu Buwei, Wei Liao and other ministers exchanged glances, and quickly thought about the result of the discussion between Ying Zheng and Ying Chengjiao. They were even more worried that Ying Chengjiao felt harshly treated and resentful because of their advice!
Ying Zheng did not give his ministers a chance to think. He sat down at the table at the top of the stairs and spoke loudly, "My dear ministers, there is no need to be polite."

"sit!"

The eunuchs shouted again: "Sit!"

After all the ministers were seated, Ying Zheng spoke in a deep voice: "In this battle, our Great Qin sent out 900,000 troops, and the enemy sent out 1.2 million troops! A total of more than 2.1 million men fought on the battlefield!"

"This battle is the most magnificent battle since the founding of the Qin Empire. It is also a rare battle in ancient and modern times!"

"If we win this battle, there will be no more obstacles in the future of our Great Qin, and the road to our great cause will be smooth!"

"If we lose this battle, all the hard work done by our ministers and generals will be wiped out in an instant. At best, we will have to retreat to Hangu Pass, or at worst, our country will be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng looked around at his ministers and generals, and said in a clear and powerful voice: "Thanks to the efforts of my ministers and the desperate fighting of my soldiers, my Great Qin not only won a great victory, but also enhanced my Great Qin's national prestige, intimidated Qi to surrender, and forced Dai and Yan to ask for peace."

"The credit for this battle goes to all the officials and generals!"

"Congratulations to all the officials of the Great Qin!"

"Congratulations to our Great Qin warriors!"

Ying Zheng's voice became louder and louder, and finally he stood up and raised the wine cup high.

The blood of the ministers and generals boiled in their hearts, and they stood up unconsciously along with Ying Zheng, shouting in unison:

"Congratulations to Great Qin!"

After drinking the wine from the cup, Ying Zheng pressed down with his right hand: "Sit down!"

All the ministers and generals took their seats, but Ying Zheng did not sit down. Instead, he said in a gentle voice: "This victory makes me very happy."

"But what makes me most happy is that many heroes have emerged in my Great Qin, and some talented people have taken the initiative to join my Great Qin!"

"Where is Lanling Gaoshuang?"

Gao Shuang, hiding in the corner, was stunned. He looked around with envy, wanting to see which fellow villager with the same name and surname as him could be summoned by the King of Qin.

However, Ying Bu, who was more than ten feet away, had already greeted Gao Shuang with a smile: "Captain Gao, come forward quickly!"

Gao Shuang subconsciously wanted to avoid Ying Bu's gaze.

In fact, the reason why Gao Shuang hid in the corner was to avoid Ying Bu, his former subordinate and today's senior leader.

But Gao Shuang was stunned when he heard Ying Bu's words. He pointed at himself in disbelief and asked, "I? Come forward?"

"Master Ying Erwubai, please do not treat such a big event as a joke!"

Ying Bu trotted to Gao Shuang's side, pushed Gao Shuang hard, and said with a low laugh: "Don't worry, Captain Gao!"

"It must be that Lord Chang'an told the king about Captain Gao's bravery, which led to the king summoning Captain Gao."

"It was also like this when Ying first entered Daqin."

"Don't keep the king waiting for too long!"

With the help of Ying Bu's push, Gao Shuang took two steps forward in confusion, and then was pushed forward by pairs of hands of his comrades.

As they moved forward uncontrollably, Gao Shuang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his heart became more and more excited.

Was it also like this when Ying Bu first entered Daqin? Yes! It was indeed like this when Ying Bu first entered Daqin!

Could it be that I can also rise to higher positions like Ying Bu?

After stumbling all the way to the bottom of the stairs, Gao Shuang, trembling all over, bowed and shouted, "Lanling Gao Shuang, I pay my respects to the king!"

Looking down at Gao Shuang, Ying Zheng smiled and said, "When I was young, I found the name of Lanling Gao Shuang familiar to me."

"If I remember correctly, the credit for being the first to reach Yanling County went to Master Gao!"
