Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 426: Chapter 185: The Spoils Shock the Court! Rewards! (Part 3)

After the emissaries of the three states entered the hall, they all bowed to Ying Zheng, who was seated high up.

"You may rise."

Ying Zheng raised his hand.

"Thank you, King of Qin." The three spoke in unison, then straightened up.

"Emissaries of the three states meet together, what is the matter?" Ying Zheng asked calmly.

Upon hearing this.

The emissaries of Qi and Yan cast sidelong glances at the emissary from Chu State.

Clearly.

At this moment, they had come primarily on behalf of Chu State.

Feeling the gaze, the Chu emissary was unfazed, but stepped forward slowly, clasping his hands in salute: "This humble one, by the order of Lord Chunshen, requests the King of Qin to cease military actions against Wei."

"Is that the purpose of your visit from Chu State? Or are Qi and Yan also here for the same reason?" Ying Zheng’s tone revealed no emotion, but suddenly a terrifying pressure filled the entire hall.

Faced with Ying Zheng’s words.

The emissaries from Qi and Yan lowered their heads, remaining silent, clearly unwilling to take the lead.

But the emissary from Chu State raised his head, completely unafraid.

"It is better to resolve enmity than to deepen it."

"Although Wei once waged war against Qin, they acknowledge their wrongdoings and have repeatedly requested to see the King of Qin to atone. I ask the King of Qin to forgive Wei this time." The Chu emissary spoke in a tone of moral coercion.

"And if I do not forgive, what will Chu State do?" Yu Liao coldly asked.

"Wei attacked Qin, killing our citizens, and you think just because Chu State asks, we should cease our actions? You think Qin’s million sharp warriors are made of clay?" Li Si also responded coldly.

"If this is your purpose for seeking an audience with the King, then leave at once."

"Get out."

"Qin does not welcome people like you from Chu State."

"Our troops are already deployed; what will you do?"

"If you have the capability, Chu State can send troops to aid Wei."

"Does Qin fear Chu State? Certainly not!"

...

One by one, the ministers glared and berated the emissary from Chu State.

Faced with this situation.

The emissaries from Qi and Yan kept their heads down, not daring to speak.

The face of the Chu emissary also showed a trace of anger, though mixed with some fear.

However.

He was here under orders, specifically from Lord Chunshen.

Thus, he naturally was unafraid.

"If the King of Qin is unwilling to withdraw the troops, perhaps Chu State will indeed send troops to aid Wei." The Chu emissary loudly declared.

"Then I shall wait and see."

Ying Zheng coldly replied.

With a wave of his hand: "See them out."

Ren Xiao was seen swiftly approaching with a band of the Imperial Guard Army, stopping before the emissaries of the three states.

"Emissaries, please."

Ren Xiao gestured with a hand.

"I hope the King of Qin will not regret this in the future." The Chu emissary waved his sleeves, leaving in a haughty manner.

"King of Qin, until we meet again."

"This matter is the wish of Chu State, unconnected to our Qi State." The emissary from Qi immediately stated.

"This matter also has nothing to do with our Yan; we are allies with Qin." The emissary from Yan also quickly added.

But Ying Zheng silently observed, with no intention of responding to them.

Seeing Ying Zheng’s attitude, the emissaries from the two states left with a sense of unease.

After the emissaries of the three states had left.

Wang Wan immediately stood up: "Great King."

"From Chu State’s attitude, it seems they have schemes against Qin; I firmly believe we must increase our defenses against Chu State."

"I second this proposal."

"Chu State, since its establishment, knows not of propriety and acts barbarously."

"We must be cautious with this state."

All the ministers and officials stood out to agree.

Ying Zheng raised his hand, and the hall fell silent.

"Chu State."

"Is nothing to worry about."

"Gentlemen, do not be overly concerned."

"The pressing issue now is the subjugation of Wei."

"Alright then."

"If you have no other business to present, then the court is dismissed."

Ying Zheng waved his hand, overlooking the court.

"We have nothing further to present."

All that needed discussing had been discussed; there was nothing more to add.

"Court dismissed." Ying Zheng waved his hand.

"We respectfully see the King off." The ministers called out.

Within Zhangtai Palace!

Only Dunruo stood before Ying Zheng.

"Why was Wei Wuji’s scorched earth strategy not detected?" Ying Zheng directly asked, his expression somewhat cold.

"I was incompetent."

"Wei Wuji kept this strategy extremely secret."

"Heibing Platform failed to detect it." Dunruo immediately bowed, visibly fearful.

"This cannot happen again."

"If Feng’er had not been alert, he might have been lost in the inferno of Yanggao City." Ying Zheng spoke with utmost seriousness, a hint of anger surfacing on his face.

If it were another situation, Ying Zheng might have been tolerant, but this time his son faced a city burnt to the ground. If it had gone unnoticed, Ying Zheng might have to endure an unbearable pain.

Thus.

He could not allow this to happen again.

"I take the decree."

"I will increase Heibing Platform’s monitoring of Wei State." Dunruo immediately bowed.

"Good." Ying Zheng nodded, his cold visage gradually easing.

"The emissary from Chu State has come."

"Presumably, Huang Xie is planning to take military action against Qin." Ying Zheng said solemnly.

"The King is correct."

"Chu State is already mobilizing troops." Dunruo immediately said.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"That old fox Huang Xie should have been dealt with long ago." Ying Zheng coldly remarked.

"I will immediately send the Dark Guard of Chu State to handle this."

"Huang Xie must die." Dunruo promptly replied.

"The Three Households of Chu, there are many who wish Huang Xie dead."

"This time, Huang Xie must die."

"If this task is not completed, you need not return to see me." Ying Zheng waved his hand, without saying more.

Dunruo bowed and respectfully withdrew.

"Huang Xie, Chu State."

"After dealing with Wei, you will be next, Chu State."

"How dare you come to Qin attempting to coerce me to withdraw troops."

Ying Zheng wore a cold expression, an air of might pervading.

Just then!

"Grandpa."

"We have come again."

"Grandpa, we want something delicious to eat."

The voices of two little ones came in from outside, and upon hearing them, the coldness disappeared from Ying Zheng’s face, replaced by a gentle smile.
