Accepting Ying Zheng's invitation meant that the envoys would have to stay in the official post for five more days.
During this period, it was not that they couldn't go out, but as soon as they went out, Da Qin's soldiers would follow them. It would be impossible to smash, smash, and rob like they did when they first entered the city!
You can only exchange money or things for whatever you like!
For men like them who are accustomed to galloping on the grassland, such days are almost like going to jail!
"Damn it, five days have finally passed. After attending today's banquet, if the Emperor of the Central Plains still doesn't agree to our request, then hurry back to the grassland. I can't bear it anymore!"
On the way into the palace, General Gus said angrily.
"Well, today, regardless of success or failure, I have to say goodbye to the Emperor of the Central Plains!"
Harry nodded in agreement.
…
The banquet was held in the open space in the imperial garden of the palace, and all ministers were present.
It's spring now, the flowers and plants have begun to sprout, and the Imperial Garden is full of life!
"Today is my son's birthday, thank you so much for hosting the banquet!"
As soon as the banquet started, the young lady bowed her hand.
The envoy glanced at Xiao Shota with a very disdainful look.
It's this kid who insults them in the court, saying that the Huns are a place where birds can't shit!
This is complete nonsense!
Their Xiongnu grass grows and warblers fly, and the ground is covered with bird droppings!
"Father, just drinking and eating meat is extremely boring. The Huns envoy is here today. How about we have a small entertainment activity?"
Xiao Zhengtai stood up and bowed to where Ying Zheng was again.
"Entertainment? What entertainment?"
Ying Zheng asked doubtfully.
This kid didn't say what kind of activities he was going to do before he came, so why did he suddenly do it on the spur of the moment?
"I heard that the Huns often drink wine to warm themselves up due to the cold climate, so they have developed a good drinking capacity. Why don't we give it a try and see who wins compared with me, a man from Da Qin?"
Koshota said with a grin.
"Better than drinking? Haha...!"
The six envoys suddenly laughed.
Just now when the young lady mentioned that she wanted to engage in entertainment activities, the Hun envoy Harry was still worried about whether he would recite poems and paint.
The men on the grasslands are not good at these formal things, and they might be embarrassed if they don't do it well.
But I didn’t expect this kid to want to drink?
This is just like deliberately sticking your face out for them to hit!
"What's wrong with drinking?"
"If any of you can drink three bowls of the wine brewed by me without getting drunk, then even if I lose, no matter what request you make, our Daqin will agree to it!"
"But if you lose, then you have to stay in Daqin for an extra half month, how about that?"
Xiaoshota explained the rules of the game clearly in one breath.
However, several Hun envoys laughed even more after hearing this and kept making eye contact.
Before coming, they had gathered together to study how to get Ying Zheng to agree to their request. Should they use coercion while drunk, or should they induce him during the banquet?
They even rehearsed Ying Zheng's possible reaction after hearing their request again!
Unexpectedly, before they could ask for it again, this young master who didn’t know the heights of heaven and earth would come to their doorstep!
Men from their grasslands, if nothing else, can kill all the men in the Central Plains instantly when they drink!
Pull out any one, drinking is the same as drinking water. Let alone three bowls, even if it is thirty bowls, they will not be drunk!
What's more, General Gus among the envoys was the best among their grasslands.
Not only is he superb in martial arts, but he is also top notch in drinking!
It is said that you will never get drunk after a thousand cups!
In their grassland, no one has ever seen him drunk!
"Is this what the young master calls entertainment? This is simply a gift to the Huns!"
"Yes, the Huns have always been good at drinking. How can they get drunk after three bowls?"
"My young master is too confident in the Wuliangye he brewed. We Daqin people can't do three bowls in a row, but that doesn't mean the Huns can't do it either!"
"At the court, the young master directly rejected the Xiongnu's request for marriage. In this case, wouldn't he have sent the princess away with his own hands?"
"Who says otherwise? Even if we win, we can only keep those envoys in Xianyang for half a month longer. What's the use of this? It will only increase the expenses of Great Qin!"
"Alas! Who knows what the young master is thinking today? I just hope that your majesty will not agree!"
…
After hearing this, all the ministers present were speechless. They felt that Mrs. Xiaozheng was too arrogant and hoped that Ying Zheng would not nod.
These requests made the Huns envoy extremely happy.
Just like those ministers said, even if they lose, they will only stay a few more days, so there is no need to discuss it. After a few eye contact and nods to each other, Gus stood up with a smile on his face, "Little Master, can you keep your word?"
"I always keep my word!"
Little Shota raised her little head proudly.
"Young Master is young and may not be able to make the decision on such a big matter. I'd better ask His Majesty for his opinion!"
Harry couldn't trust this kid, so he looked directly at Ying Zheng.
"this……?"
Ying Zheng has been wondering since he was young when Mr. Zheng asked for a drink.
What this kid said before was very clear, but this sudden incident really confused him!
But when his eyes fell on Xiao Zhengtai's familiar smile, he suddenly nodded, "Everything will be done according to what the young master said. If you win, no matter what conditions are proposed, I agree, but if you lose, Stay with me in Xianyang for a few more days!"
The smile on Xiao Zhengtai's face was very familiar to Ying Zheng. Every time he would show such a smile before scheming against others!
Even he himself has been tricked by this kid several times, so he is very familiar with it!
"What? Your Majesty agreed? Your Majesty actually agreed?"
"Your Majesty is so confused, how can you agree to such a ridiculous request?"
"Even if Your Majesty dotes on the young master, he is still a child after all. Once he gets too playful, he will do stupid things. How can Your Majesty still agree...?"
The ministers once again looked disappointed and shook their heads helplessly.
"Okay! Xianyang has beautiful scenery. We are thinking of staying a few more days!"
Gus laughed heartily.
He said he wanted to stay a few more days, but what he was thinking in his heart was that he was determined to win. This time he would definitely get Ying Zheng to agree to their conditions!
"The general wants to come and drink these three bowls of wine in person?"
Xiao Zhengtai looked at him provocatively.
"Yes, this general once drank twenty bowls of wine, then mounted his horse and led his troops to repel Donghu's invaders!"
Ying Zheng had already nodded, and the matter was a foregone conclusion. Gus was not afraid of revealing his drinking level and told his past glorious deeds.
Upon hearing this, the ministers became even more panicked, whispering to each other and mumbling with sad faces.
