Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 443 Pairing Up the Alliance (4)

Emperor Qin and King Chu came down from the altar, returned to the long table and sat down.At the same time, Kuai Che, who always pays attention to the overall situation, once again shouted: "The signature of the covenant and the seal—"

As for the etiquette of the Huimeng, Kuai Che had discussed with Heng Chu and others, and everything was carried out according to the ancient etiquette.

Only in this way can the alliance this time have a strong binding force and convince all countries in the world.

Hu Hai and Xiang Yu basically had the same idea, that is to use this alliance to end the war between Qin and Chu, and turn their attention to the rest of the countries.

It is human nature to pick persimmons softly.

……

Hearing Kuai Che's voice fall, Heng Chu and Dun Ruo spread out the parchment covenant on two long tables respectively, and placed them in front of Hu Hai and Xiang Yu.

At the same time, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu looked at each other, picked up the pen on the long case, and wrote their names on the bottom left of the covenant.

Putting down the long pen in his hand, Qin Emperor Hu Hai waved his hand at Dun Ruo, and said, "Dian Ke, Yong Yin—" At this time, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, also shouted: "Yong Yin—"

"Yes/No!"

Nodding in agreement, Heng Chu and Dun Ruo bowed to the printing box respectively, took out the jade seal, and pressed it on the parchment covenant.

"Exchange the covenant, and use the seal to sign the name again—"

As Kuai Che's voice sounded again, and the name of the printing tool was crossed again, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu knew in their hearts that there was only one last link left before the end of the hall.

But it has also come to the most critical time, because the documents for this meeting are still blank until now.

Whether it is Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, or Hu Hai, the Emperor of Qin, they are subconsciously avoiding this question, and they all want to leave this question for the end.

Therefore, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu nodded slightly to each other, reaching an agreement.At the same time, Kuai Che, who received the signal, said loudly again.

"Everyone will enforce the covenant, the emperor of Qin and the king of Chu will pay homage to—"

Hu Hai and Xiang Yu, who were in agreement, each held up the covenant, bowed to each other, and then both sat down.

It was all over, and it was almost noon at this moment, Kuai Che bowed deeply to Hu Hai and Xiang Yu, and said loudly again: "The alliance is complete! The banquet begins—"

At the same time, the Tianzi Yale, which had already been arranged, sounded again, and in the melodious Yale, a grand banquet began.

The two long cases are juxtaposed in the north and south, with Hu Hai in the south and Xiang Yu in the north.After Hu Hai, it was Wei Liao, Dunwei, Kuai Che, and after Xiang Yu, it was Fan Zeng, Zhong Limei, Heng Chu, Xiang Zhuang...

Everyone sat down one after another, Qin and Chu looked at each other with piercing eyes.After half a ring, Xiang Yu cupped his hands to Hu Hai: "Toll the bell and open the cauldron—"

"Dangdangdang..."

Three bells rang loudly, and with the lingering sound of the bell, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu hooked copper hooks on the hole of the tripod cover at the same time.With the sound of "dang", the cauldron cover was raised, and the smell of meat filled the big tent.

Hu Hai's eyes flickered for a moment, and he stood up holding the wine bar: "At the beginning of the banquet, as the host, I would like to respect all of you first, please—"

Everyone on the side of the Great Qin Empire raised their titles one after another, but the people on the side of Western Chu did not move at all, and all looked at Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu who remained motionless, looked at Qin Emperor Hu Hai with a teasing smile, and said, "Host, it seems that Qin still thinks it was the first emperor. Now it's just an alliance of the same position. When did Qin become the host?"

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the officials of the Great Qin Empire immediately flushed, and for a while, they were embarrassed and at a loss.

The civil and military officials of the Qin State knew that this was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, humiliating Hu Hai and the Great Qin Empire, but it was too sudden, and he couldn't speak for a while, so his face turned red.

At this time, Qin Emperor Hu Hai, who had been sitting without moving a bit, smiled faintly, and said: "I form an alliance with the king of Chu, and also serve as the host of the ceremony. Sanchuan County belongs to Qin, and I am the host."

"The king of Chu is in his prime, yet he is so forgetful. The king of Chu is the king of a country. Could it be that many years of war have caused the king of Chu to lose his etiquette?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yu, the Overlord of Western Chu, was furious.Just seeing the stubborn Qin Emperor Hu Hai come forward in person, although I feel a little unhappy, it's not easy to make trouble for a while.

Xiang Yu knew that he could bully the Great Qin Empire here, but he could only take advantage of what he said, and it was really not good to have a sudden attack.

This alliance must continue.At this thought, Xiang Yu laughed loudly and said: "This is just a joke, Emperor Qin really takes it?"

Then Xiang Yu picked up the wine lord, shook it at Hu Hai, and said loudly: "Come on, Emperor Qin, Yafu, do this lord!"

At this time, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, wanted to resolve the embarrassment this time with the help of drinking, and brought the topic out directly. Seeing that Xiang Yu was embarrassed and unable to get off the stage, Fan Zeng laughed and said: "Your Majesty's words are not bad, it's just a joke. Emperor Qin doesn't have to take it seriously."

Fan Zeng swung the prince in his hand: "Emperor Qin, Your Majesty, I will do it first—"

In an instant, the very stiff atmosphere was suddenly pulled back by Fan Zeng's words.

Qin Emperor Hu Hai's eyes flickered for a moment, and he sincerely admired the Chu army teacher Fan Zeng: "Do it!"

As Emperor Qin Yingfei raised the Grand Duke in his hand and drank it all in one gulp, the banquet immediately became more relaxed.The atmosphere of this alliance has returned to the right track.

It's just that everyone knew that the time when this alliance was really dangerous began when the Overlord of Western Chu took the lead in attacking.

Thinking of this, whether it is the Daqin Empire or the civil and military officials of Western Chu, they all look vigilant.

Because at this time, it is often the best time for a violent attack, and it is also a test period for the success or failure of an alliance.And it is clear that both Xiang Yu and Hu Hai are not very good-tempered.

These two people are violent, and if they disagree, they will draw swords.

For a while, everyone at the banquet had their own thoughts, and they didn't say a word about the business. They just talked about some unnutritious things like the weather, wine and meat while drinking and watching the music and dancing.

At this time, almost everyone is stalling for time, waiting for the end of Tianzi Yale.Even if Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, was choked by Hu Hai once, he didn't think about regaining this face immediately.

Just watching the music and dancing, and then drinking with Hu Hai.For a while, the atmosphere was harmonious, which made people feel caught off guard.

In this way, Hu Hai and Xiang Yu drank for half an hour until the end of the gala music.Only then did Hu Hai smile faintly, and said: "The Qin-Chu alliance is related to the land of the Central Plains. I don't know the king of Chu, what do you think?"

Hu Hai knew in his heart that Xiang Yu was powerful, and at this moment, only Xiang Yu expressed his intention.Only in these intentions can the Great Qin Empire grasp Xiang Yu's bottom line.

Therefore, at this time, Hu Hai took the lead to speak and handed over the sovereignty of the words to Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu.

At this time, when Xiang Yu was drunk and excited, he waved his sleeve when he heard Hu Hai's words: "Qin will return to Hangu Pass, and it will never go east for the rest of its life!"
