Zhao Tuo's eyes suddenly turned cold as he watched Xiang Qu grab the map in his hand.
Not only him, but everyone in the palace who had been watching this scene changed their expressions, and even Wang Li had already touched the hilt of the sword.
Fortunately, everyone has been in the officialdom for a long time and has excellent concentration. No one panicked or said anything before a big change occurred.
Qin Wangzheng also didn't speak, but Zhu Minhou's eyes became cold.
"Xiang Qu, what are you going to do? Don't mess around."
Jing Zhao was so frightened that his voice trembled, and he stared at Xiang Qu beside him, fearing that this Xiang man would go crazy and ruin the country's important affairs.
Xiang Qu turned a deaf ear to this, with a smile on his face.
"Don't misunderstand me, it's just that I heard that the Qin Kingdom has many strong men, so I wanted to personally present the map to show my respect."
With that said, Xiang Qu held the picture in both hands and handed it to Zhao Tuo.
This person is so brave!
Zhao Tuo was wary. This guy dared to cause such a scene in the Qin Palace Hall while presenting the picture. He was really audacious.
If King Qin gets angry, they will lose their heads on the spot.
To act like this is worthy of being a member of the Xiang family.
Zhao Tuo slowly reached out and took the map.
At this moment, a palm grasped Zhao Tuo's hand at an extremely fast speed.
Zhao Tuo saw it, but he couldn't hide.
If you withdraw your palm, the map will fall to the ground.
"Zhao Jun, please don't shake your hands, or you may lose the map."
Xiang Qu had a smile on his face. When Qin Wangzheng ordered Zhao Tuo just now, he remembered the name of this young soldier.
Huge power came from the palm of his hand. Xiang Qu's hand was like an iron hoop, holding Zhao Tuo's hand tightly, as if he wanted to crush it alive.
Zhao Tuo even heard a clicking sound coming from his metacarpal bones.
He endured it.
If Zhao Tuo screamed in pain at this time in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, perhaps Xiang Qu would be severely punished for his provocation.
It was even possible for Qin Wangzheng to kill the Chu envoy in anger.
But in this case, Zhao Tuo will also lose the face of Qin, and his gaffe will definitely make all the ministers look down on him, and even Qin Wangzheng will be disappointed.
The person I valued was so miserable.
Therefore, although Zhao Tuo was in pain and sweating, he still endured it.
Zhao Tuo smiled softly and said, "Thank you very much, deputy envoy, for your kindness."
Looking at the calm smiling face of the young man in front of him, Xiang Qu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and let go of his hand.
Xiang Qu knew very well how strong he was. With his own exertion, not many people could carry it. But the young man in front of him not only managed to carry it, but he could also smile and talk to himself.
This boy is unusual.
Zhao Tuo's hand was so numb that he lost consciousness, but he did not make a sound, but walked away holding the map in both hands.
But when he retreated, he looked at Xiang Qu and smiled again.
Don't let me meet you when I attack Chu, otherwise I will avenge you with this palm.
A gentleman of the Zhao family must avenge himself.
The map shows the bronze eucalyptus in front of the king.
Qin Wangzheng nodded slightly and opened the map presented by Chu State to examine it.
This is indeed the map west of Qingyang mentioned by the envoy of Chu.
Now that the map is in hand, as long as a covenant is made today, Qin Wangzheng can send people to take over and obtain a large area of land without any effort.
After examining the map, Qin Wangzheng's eyes fell on the upright young man standing in front of him.
Zhao Tuo can take the overall situation into consideration.
Qin Wangzheng nodded secretly in his heart. He knew exactly what happened just now. Although he didn't know how much force the vice-president of Chu used, but looking at Xiang Qu's burly and strong figure, he knew that it was definitely not light.
But Zhao Tuo endured all these and did not ruin the picture presentation ceremony, which made Qin Wangzheng very happy.
Although he had the intention to destroy Chu, and even discussed the plan to destroy Chu with his important ministers, it was still not made public at the moment and the time was not ripe.
Now that the Chu State has taken the initiative to offer its land to seek peace, it is a matter of great benefit and no harm to the Qin State.
As a result, a large amount of land can be obtained without spending a single soldier.
Secondly, Qin and Chu have peace talks. When Qin destroys Wei next year, Chu will have no reason to aid Wei.
The third is that after the peace talks, Chu State will not take the initiative to attack Qin State, giving Qin Wangzheng sufficient preparation time to calmly dispatch the army for deployment.
The fourth and most important point is to make everyone in the Chu state think that Qin has no intention of destroying Chu, so they relax their vigilance and even kill each other. When Qin officially attacks Chu, Chu will be caught off guard.
As for when the time comes, the State of Chu will use this peace talk as an excuse.
Haha, aren't covenants meant to be broken?
With both parties interested in peace talks, the Chu State Land Presentation Ceremony was successfully concluded. Except for a small interlude in the middle, both parties were in harmony and there were no problems.
evening.
Pedestrian station, inside the State Guesthouse.
Jing Zhao's face was full of anger, and he glared at Xiang Qu: "Xiang Qu, you almost ruined a big thing during the day. If King Qin gets angry on the spot, not only will your life and mine be at risk, but also my country of Chu will be harmed!"
Faced with Jing Zhao's accusation, Xiang Qu sneered and said, "Songyang Jun is serious. I have no intention of sabotaging the peace talks. I just don't want the King of Qin to underestimate me, the people of Chu. I want all the Qin officials in the palace to know that I, the Chu State,
Up and down, people like Lord Songyang are not the only ones who bend their knees to seek peace, there are also men of blood and spirit."
Jing Zhao's lips trembled angrily and he said, "You are quite spirited. What if you ruin this big event?"
Xiang Qu laughed and said: "As long as we have no intention of assassination, King Qin will never get angry and take the initiative to ruin this peace talk. The land west of Qingyang was given to him for free. With King Qin's greedy temper, how could he
reject?"
Having said this, the smile on Xiang Qu's face disappeared and turned into a look of reluctance.
If it weren't for the incompetence of the Chu army and the consecutive defeats, how could the majestic state of Chu be in the position where it is now offering its land to seek peace.
If I were a general, I would definitely defeat Qin in Chu.
Just when Xiang Qu secretly swore, Jing Zhao also dissipated his anger and nodded: "What you said makes sense. Fortunately, the peace talks have been completed and the covenant has been signed. If the Qin State takes over the land, there will be no more land within a few years."
They will attack my country of Chu again."
Hearing Jing Zhao's words, Xiang Qu raised his head and said coldly: "Songyang Lord, please don't rejoice prematurely. The people of Qin have always been treacherous. Can I still remember the time when Zhang Yi deceived me about conceiving the king?"
Jing Zhao frowned and said, "Then what do you think means that King Qin is not sincere in negotiating peace?"
A cold light flashed in Xiang Qu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know whether King Qin is sincere or not, but I have another mission when I enter Qin this time."
"There is a Cao Cao in the palace of Qin State named Fan Yi, who is also from Chu and has received favors from our ancestors. The reason why I came to Qin State this time is to contact him. Through Fan Yi, we may be able to find out whether King Qin
He has the intention of attacking Chu."
Jing Zhao suddenly realized and said: "I see, no wonder the king wants you to be the deputy envoy. However, this Fan Yi is quite capable. A Chu man can still become Cao Yu in Qin Guobang's Mansion."
Xiang Qu smiled and said, "I heard that he was originally just a minor official in the Hidden Palace. Later, he was recommended by others and entered the Bangwei Mansion."
