Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 87

Zhou Chong continued to pretend, and said, "Excuse me, my lord, what kind of answer do you need?"

Mi Lingchu wanted Zhou Chong to say that you let go and we support you, but he changed again when he said the words, "Of course Qin and Chu are in harmony."

"We Qin and Chu have been in-laws for generations, and we have always been in harmony." Zhou Chong played sloppy.

Mi Negchu was really confused by Zhou Chong, so he simply said: "Your Excellency Zhou doesn't know something, and I want to shake things up. Will Daqin support me then? Even if you send Master Zhou, you can be outstanding." It is also good for the emissary to prophesy a few words, and it would be best if the Shang Kingdom can send out a large army to support it."

Zhou Chong suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, so it's this, Mr. Zhou Chong is so stupid that he doesn't understand what you mean. Daqin will send envoys or troops, it depends on what you can do. "

The meaning of these words is very clear, it is not impossible to support you, it depends on how much you can play, Mi Negchu cheered up, and said anxiously: "If the king's Shangshan Mausoleum collapses, how will Shangguo deal with it?"

The words sound nice, his murderous intent has been revealed, that is to kill the king of Chu, Zhou Chong said: "It will be a misfortune, Da Qin will definitely send envoys to express condolences."

Sending envoys to mourn national mourning is the most basic diplomatic etiquette between countries. Da Chu has something to do, can we get the support of the army of the upper country?"

Qin's army is famous far and wide. Once he kills the king and stands on his own, Qin doesn't need to send out too many troops. Only one brigade of divisions is enough to frighten Chu. This is really a good idea.

Zhou Chong said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, my son. Our Daqin army has always been invincible and invincible. It is the most elite army in the world. If you don't plunder the land, you won't return it."

On the surface, Zhou Chong was praising Qin Jun, but in fact he was asking Mi Negchu for a price. Mi Negchu was overjoyed and said, "Five Cities."

Zhou Chong remained calm and said, "Our Daqin army is the most elite army in the world. One can stand up to ten, and ten thousand is enough to equal one hundred thousand people from the six kingdoms. How can such an army be easily dispatched? Once dispatched, how can it be easily withdrawn? If they don’t fill their stomachs, even if the king orders the troops to withdraw, the soldiers may not listen.”

This is a typical blackmail, Mi Lingchu thought for a while, and stretched out his right index finger, but Zhou Chong pretended not to see it.He stretched out his middle finger again, but Zhou Chong still didn't speak.Mi Lingchu stretched out her ring finger, but Zhou Chong ignored it.Mi Lingchu stretched out her little finger, and Zhou Chong looked at the roof.Mi Lingchu gritted her teeth and did not speak, her complexion changed erratically, finally bit her lips tightly, and stretched out her thumb. Zhou Chong turned his eyes from the roof to his right hand, and asked, "My lord, what are you doing?" mean?"

"Fifty cities!" Mi Lingchu was so distressed that she almost spurted blood.

Zhou Chong said indifferently: "Cities are far and near, good and bad, some are useless, it's better to have none."

Mi Lingchu didn't know how many countries scolded the hateful Zhou Chong, and said: "The fifty cities in the land of Jingxiang are up to the country to choose."

The land of Jingxiang is the most important place in the state of Chu, he is so generous, it can be seen that he is crazy to want to be king, Zhou Chong said: "There is no proof, there must be a written proof."

Zhou Chong is really too good, Mi Lingchu has seen it, and said: "I also ask Mr. Zhou to send someone to study ink."

Shaking his head, Zhou Chong said: "That's not good. For the sake of my son's sincerity, I think it's better to use the blood book." The effect of the blood book and the agreement written with pen and ink must be different. Zhou Chong wants him to do it with determination. Write a blood book.

Mi Negchu said in astonishment: "Master Zhou, isn't this too much?"

"Not too much!" Zhou Chong categorically vetoed it, saying, "Young Master is a person who is going to do great things, and he is passionate about being a great Chu. If you don't do this, you will not show your determination."

Mi Lingchu stood up and sat down, sat down and stood up, repeated several times, and finally said: "Okay!" She tore off a piece of her robe, bit her right index finger, wrote a bloody book, and handed it to Zhou Chong for reading.Zhou Chong looked at it once, nodded and said: "That's great! However, once our Daqin army is dispatched, we need food, grass, supplies, and rewards for the soldiers who have made meritorious service. The cost is not small."

"Master Zhou, don't push yourself any further. I have already made the biggest concession." Mi Lingchu gritted her teeth and growled in a low voice.

Zhou Chong shook his head and said: "You're wrong, it's not the son, but the king." Standing up, he saluted and said, "Zhou Chong has met the king of Chu!"

Mi Lingchu pointed at Zhou Chong and said after a long time: "You are amazing, you are amazing. Tell me, how much do you want?"

Zhou Chong stretched out all five fingers of his right hand, and said, "50 taels of silver."

"So many? No." Mi Lingchu flatly refused. Seeing the five fingers of Zhou Chong's left hand sticking out, she really wanted to chop off both of Zhou Chong's hands with one knife, and immediately changed her words: "Okay, 50 taels .”

Zhou Chong nodded in satisfaction, and said: "These are what the Great Qin Kingdom deserves. I will definitely convey the sincerity of the King of Chu to the King, saying that the King of Chu is willing to be friendly and in-law with the Great Qin from generation to generation."

"Thank you, Master Zhou, thank you, Master Zhou." Although Mi Lingchu felt sorry for the high price, he could still accept it, and said, "Please tell the King of Qin, Lord Zhou, that Chu State wishes to be a vassal from generation to generation and pay tribute from generation to generation."

Zhou Chong pointed at the maze and said, "Your Majesty, the foreign minister has something to say and doesn't know whether to say it or not."

"Master Zhou, please tell me." Mi Lingchu blurted out.

"The foreign minister came to Chu State this time to marry the princess for the king. If the king can choose a beautiful princess to go back with the foreign minister, wouldn't it be a step closer?" Zhou Chong tempted him.

Mi Lingchu slapped her palms lightly, and said, "Thank you Master Zhou for reminding me, I will do it now, I will do it now. The girl is eighteen years old, and she is not good enough in singing and dancing. I hope Master Zhou will not give up and bring her back to the Qin Palace."

Zhou Chong sat down, pretending to be lazy, and said, "I'm so tired from running errands, my legs are sore, and my waist is almost broken."

This is asking for bribes, not Zhou Chong's corruption, but having to ask for bribes at this time.Zhou Chong knew a reason well, asking for bribes at this time can calm Mi's heart and let him do it.

Mi Lingchu understood, and took out ten pairs of white biscuits and twenty pearls from her bosom, and said with a smile, "It's a small thing, please don't make fun of it, Mr. Zhou, and save it for buying some wine on the way."

Zhou Chong is very familiar with bribery and accepting bribes. He said with a smile, "Your Majesty, how can you be ashamed of this? To be loyal to your Majesty and to make good relations between Qin and Chu, foreign ministers should be exhausted even if they are exhausted. I dare not accept it." , I dare not accept it!" He said no to accept it, and looked at the gift with his eyes, smiling so much that there was only a small crack left.It's not that Zhou Chong is greedy, it's that accepting bribes at this time can reassure him, so he has to accept it.
Mi Lingchu's face darkened on purpose, and he said softly, "If Mr. Zhou doesn't accept it, he thinks that I, Da Chu, can't even take out any Bo Yi."

"Since this is the case, then the foreign minister has thanked the king." Zhou Chong said in a mysterious voice in Mi Lingchu's voice: "The foreign minister has a big news and wants to sell it, but he has never known his family. stay home."

Mi Lingchu didn't understand Zhou Chong's meaning, and thought he was dissatisfied and was blackmailing him. His heart skipped a beat, and he forced himself to ask, "May I ask Mr. Zhou, what is the news?"

"The news about the state of Chu." Zhou Chong reminded: "This news is very useful to the king, but the price is quite high. I will sell it to whoever offers the highest price."

Mi Lingchu frowned, stretched out her right index finger, and said, "This king will pay 1 taels of silver to buy the news of Mr. Zhou next."

Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "No way. Those who get news of me will get the state of Chu."

Mi Lingchu looked at Zhou Chong suspiciously, and asked, "Really?"

Zhou Chong didn't answer the question, looked at Mi Lingchu and said indifferently: "My lord, the current king of Chu is not the flesh and blood of the former king of Chu. Is this news worth 100 million taels of silver?"
