Qin Shi: Beginning as the first emperor's younger brother

Chapter 44
Three days later.

Chi Dan, the legal heir of the Quanrong family, came to Xianyang.

He didn't go to see Ying Zheng immediately, but was taken to Champion Hou's mansion by the beater.

At this moment, Ying Yuan is quietly waiting for him in the mansion.

Chi Dan was dressed in rags, his face was slightly dirty, and his figure was thin. It can be seen that he had suffered a lot during this journey.

Although it was said that he came to Xianyang with the watchman, Ying Yuan specifically told his subordinates not to treat him with any special treatment.

As a "king of subjugation", he has no qualifications to receive the courtesy of Qin.

Even if Qin State wanted to indirectly calm the frontier for decades through him.

Chi Dan went to see Ying Yuan nervously.

Back then, he had led the army of Quan Rong to harass the border of Longxi.

He also dealt with Ying Yuan.

if I remember correctly
It seemed that he had scolded Ying Yuan while standing under the Longxi border city.

But then he also shot himself an arrow!

Hope you don't hold grudges?
In order to escape from the Rong tribe to Qin, Chi Dan even pulled out his own beard.

He also changed Qin's clothes and kept Qin's hairstyle.

Anyway, he completely disguised himself as a Qin person.

Ying Yuan was lying next to the big pagoda tree in the yard with his eyes closed and rested.

Suzaku stood aside obediently and waited silently.

At this time, Xuanwu personally brought Chi Dan to Ying Yuan, and said humbly: "Young Champion, I brought you here."

After hearing his voice, Ying Yuan didn't open his eyes, but nodded silently.

Xuanwu has followed him for many years, so he naturally knows some rules.

"Your Majesty!"

He scolded Chi Dan.

Chi Dan frowned.

He is a prince of a family. It is fine to kneel down to the king of Qin, but it is not appropriate to kneel down to a marquis, right?

While he was hesitating, Xuanwu had already acted preemptively.

A kick hit his right leg, causing him to suddenly feel pain, and he half-kneeled on the ground.

"If you let me help you with the other leg, then maybe you will have to live on crutches for the rest of your life."

Xuanwu's voice was extremely cold.

He himself is a man of evil spirits.

The figure is very burly, and the weapon is a sledgehammer weighing more than two hundred catties.

It can also be regarded as divine power.

It's just that it's not as good as Ying Yuan.

With a beard, he looks like a foreigner, but in fact, he is an out-and-out Qin person.

Chi Dan was startled, he didn't dare to continue to be stubborn, gradually let go of his dignity, gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation, and slowly knelt down in front of Ying Yuan.

"He who understands current affairs is a master, Chi Dan, you should be very clear about how complicated the situation you are facing now."

Ying Yuan spoke lightly.

Chi Dan lowered his head and remained silent.

"What the Marquis wants is not only your knees, but also your head. From now on, for tens of thousands of years, this Marquis wants to let Quan Rong, always be inferior to the descendants of Yan and Huang. Can you do it?"

Ying Yuan's tone became more and more cold.

Chi Dan took a deep breath, and slowly said the word 'can'.

As the eldest son of the old leader, when did he suffer such humiliation?

However, he had to do this, otherwise, how could he win the throne from Chi Rong?

What's more, his father, at this moment, is facing the danger of his life.

It was also thanks to Chi Rong that he didn't act out of conscience to kill his father, otherwise, at this moment, the old King Rong would have died long ago.

He wants to seek all the strength he can ask for, to rescue his father and king.

How about a little humiliation?
Endure it!

"Why don't you kowtow three times to the champion?" Suzaku said coldly.

Chi Dan clenched his fists tightly, struggling with his thoughts for a long time, and finally kowtowed to him.

Three crisp sounds startled the courtyard inside and outside.

The guards in the mansion looked this way one after another.

The prince of a foreign race knelt and kowtowed to Lord Hou, this is a scene that will be recorded in the annals of history!

Ying Yuan slowly opened his eyes, got up from the rocking chair, and looked in the direction of Longxi County. It seemed that those deep eyes could see through countless high mountains, flowing water, towering city walls, and condense on the desolate Gobi.
"These three bangs of your head are not to kowtow to this Marquis, but to respect you and my clan, those soldiers who died in battle."

Some people say that the means of war is a game of thrones.

On this point, Ying Yuan agrees very much.

Foreign races have repeatedly invaded the border, and how many times is it not because they want to ease conflicts within the clan?
But what consequences brewed in the end?
Bodies are everywhere on the border, and blood flows like rivers.

Those are young people!
"Tell me, what kind of favorable conditions do you want to be worthy of our Qin State's assistance in winning the position of leader of the Rong clan?" Ying Yuan asked indifferently.

Chi Dan knelt down on the ground, cupped his fists and said, "Champion Marquis, Shan knows very well that in recent years, our Rong people have frequently invaded the border of Great Qin, causing countless casualties to both you and us, and the people's food and clothing are in dire straits. For all the losses caused by Qin, The Rong people are willing to pay full compensation, as long as you are the champion, you can kill Chi Rong and make Shan ascend to the throne, you must personally warn the descendants of the family to live forever and never invade the Great Qin!"

"Is this your sincerity?"

Hearing the sound, Ying Yuan snorted coldly: "Did you say something wrong, or did Benhou's ears hear it wrong? Don't you have to do these things?"

What he meant right now was that these conditions were not considered favorable conditions.

It's not worth the risk for Daqin's army.

But if he helps Chi Rong to stabilize the situation, I am afraid that at most he will only give Daqin some supplies.

However, does Qin lack those supplies?

Therefore, it is obviously more cost-effective to assist Chi Dan than to assist Chi Rong.

"My family will always regard Qin as our superior country! Pay tribute every year!" Chi Dan said hastily.

Ying Yuan shook his head, "You didn't come to Luoyang with sincerity, it seems that we can only hand you over to the trap."

Lu Buwei has accepted Chi Rong's favor and wants to kill Chi Dan.

But he was escorted all the way by Xuanwu, plus many masters who beat people, so he came to Xianyang safe and sound.

If he was handed over to Lu Buwei, then the only situation he would face would be death.

How could Chi Dan not know this?

After seeing Ying Yuan's serious expression, his face immediately changed drastically, his expression was in a trance, and his face was bloodless: "Champion Marquis, please tell me what you want, Shan will do it!"

Qin is his only chance.

He dare not give up.

There were two main reasons why they did not seek refuge with those generals who intended to attack Chi Rong.

First, everyone has their own ulterior motives, and no one wants to be the first to stand out, otherwise, they will encounter Chi Rong's crazy revenge.

Second, can a prince who has no power or power still be a prince?
Even if he is the first legal heir to the Rong clan's throne, so what?
After Ying Yuan heard his voice, with one hand in front and the other behind, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "If Benhou's predictions are correct, there is a fertile prairie in the northeast of Longxi, thousands of miles away. And that piece of grassland is usually used as a horse farm for your Rong people, right?"

Hearing the sound, Chi Dan's heart was trembling.

That horse farm is the treasure land of their Rong clan!

How can I give up?
Absolutely impossible!

"I can't decide on this matter."

He looked troubled.

"Can't be the master? What's the point of this Hou's subordinates paying dozens of lives to bring you to Xianyang?"

Ying Yuan shook his sleeves, ready to leave the room.

And Xuanwu cooperated very well, grabbing Chi Dan's sleeve.

At this moment, Chi Dan, who was frightened and panicked, quickly called Ying Yuan to stop, "Champion Marquis, wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

He was really afraid that the other party would hand him over to the trap.

Ying Yuan turned his head back lightly and stared at him.

Chi Dan shook his head and smiled wryly, in his eyes, there seemed to be tears circling unwilling to be humiliated.

Feeling lost, he said powerlessly: "After the matter is completed, that piece of grassland will belong to your country of Qin."

"Thirty thousand horses." Ying Yuan took advantage of the situation and said.

In fact, he felt that this figure was understated.

But he couldn't give it if he said too much.

After all, the horses of the Rong people are raised by various tribes.

It's not that he alone has the final say.

"Champion Hou...the number is too huge!" Chi Dan was dissatisfied.

"Take it away." Ying Yuan pretended to be impatient.

"Wait. Wait! I'll give it! Whatever the champion wants, I'll give it!"

Seeing the burly man next to him, he was about to carry him out of the Marquis's mansion, so he didn't care too much, so he directly agreed to Ying Yuan.

After all, even the grassland that the clansmen regard as their own life is given, what else can he not give?
"After the matter is completed, since you Rong people all regard me as the state of Qin, then you can no longer call yourself the King of Rong."

Ying Yuan sat down on the recliner again.

"Then how should it be called?"

Chi Dan said subconsciously.

"The Qin State Council declares to the world that you, Chi Dan, will be named Marquis of Rong! Moreover, it will be recorded in the annals of history for future generations to know!" Ying Yuan said resolutely.

Chi Dan was dumbfounded.

He knew that the glory of King Yiqurong would cease to exist from today onwards.
