When the two countries are at war, the envoys will not be killed.
Even if the battle is like this, normal envoys should not be killed.
So Ying Zheng endured it.
He endured it until Li Shui came.
The reason why Ying Zheng ordered people to call Li Shui was not because Li Shui could help him deal with this person.
Ying Zheng has ten thousand ways to deal with this person.
But he didn't want to kill anyone today.
He wanted Li Shui to humiliate this person.
Kill to vent your anger, kill and it will be gone. But if you can make this person suffer humiliation and regret, that will be the greatest pleasure.
So Ying Zheng hurriedly asked the young eunuch to call Li Shui.
Finally, footsteps came from outside.
Ying Zheng squinted his eyes and saw a figure appearing in the distance.
Although he was still far away and couldn't see his face clearly, judging from his behavior, Ying Zheng knew that it was Li Shui who had arrived.
No one else can follow this arrogant pace.
Ying Zheng suddenly discovered that this Huaiguzi was really more approachable than before.
Soon, Li Shui had arrived at the main hall.
He first bowed respectfully to Ying Zheng, then pointed to a person next to him and said, "Your Majesty, is this person a barbarian from afar?"
Ying Zheng nodded.
When Li Shui was speaking, there was a barbarian beside the barbarian who had already translated Li Shui's words.
Li Shui chuckled and walked to this person.
He said to this person: "I am the banished immortal of Great Qin."
After hearing the foreigner's translation, the man nodded slightly, indicating that he already understood.
Unexpectedly, Li Shui raised his hand and slapped the man across the head.
The man screamed and immediately fell to the ground.
The little eunuch next to him was amazed when he saw it, and thought to himself: After all, the skill of banishing the immortal has not failed yet. This slap was... powerful.
After the man fell to the ground, Li Shui looked at the foreign interpreter.
The barbarian translator quickly said: "The villain is just a merchant. Because he understands the other party's language, he came to translate. The villain definitely has no liaison with the barbarians."
Li Shui said calmly: "What is the identity of this barbarian?"
The barbarian said: "His name is very strange. I don't know it very well. I only know that he is the envoy of Augustus."
Li Shui suddenly realized: "That's it."
At this time, the messenger had already gotten up in embarrassment.
Li Shui's attack just now was so severe that the messenger's face was already swollen.
He looked at Li Shui angrily and asked loudly: "What does this mean?"
Li Shui stretched out his hand and slapped the messenger again.
Ying Zheng sat far away and did not stop him, just silently admiring it.
It's really... very cool. Although I didn't do it myself, it feels... very comfortable.
The messenger roared wildly and rushed towards Li Shui. This time Li Shui kicked him directly.
The messenger was already dazed from being beaten, but when he was kicked again, he immediately wailed and fell to the ground.
He did not get up again, but looked up at Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
The foreign translator quickly translated the words.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui calmly and said, "Huai Guzi, what do you mean?"
Li Shui said: "Your Majesty, this barbarian is too rude. I have a high official position, but he is not polite."
messenger:"……"
What happened after a long time of fuss? Can't you just say that? Why do you take action when you come up?
The messenger was about to cry.
Seeing Li Shui approaching again, the envoy quickly saluted.
Li Shui originally wanted to find something wrong with him, such as not being thoughtful enough when saluting, or not being pious enough when saluting.
Then slap him twice.
But it seemed that he had used too much force just now. Li Shui's palms ached and he had to give up.
"Well, for things like slapping, if you use it, you will make progress, and if you don't use it, it will be useless." Li Shui thought secretly in his heart.
After the salute was over, Li Shui asked calmly: "Why did you come to Daqin?"
The messenger lightly touched his swollen face, then straightened his back and said proudly: "It's to warn you."
After Li Shui listened, his hands felt a little itchy again.
The envoy glanced at Li Shui and added: "This is what Augustus meant. If you just humiliate me, a small envoy, you will be cowardly. If you are really brave, you should ask Augustus All challenge.”
Li Shui nodded: "That makes sense. What are you going to warn us about?"
The messenger saw that Li Shui had no intention of hitting anyone, and his attitude became slightly arrogant.
He sneered and said: "The territory under Augustus is the kingdom of the gods. With the blessing of the gods, you will be invincible."
Li Shui: "..."
In what age are you still doing this?
Ying Zheng also looked disdainful, with a hint of ridicule on his face.
The messenger felt the ridicule of the people around him, and became even more angry.
However... people under the eaves have to bow their heads. Now is not the time to get angry.
So the envoy could only say proudly: "The west of the desert has always been the territory of Augustus. Now the Qin people have repeatedly violated the border and are extremely rude."
"Therefore, our country sent envoys to ask His Majesty the Emperor to restrain himself and withdraw from the desert countries. Otherwise, Xianyang City will be destroyed as soon as our army arrives."
Li Shui took a deep breath: "I will risk my life."
Then, he slapped the messenger on the face.
The messenger screamed and fell to the ground again.
Li Shui also hissed and waved his hands.
Ying Zheng asked in confusion: "Huai Guzi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shui coughed dryly and said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, this person is too thick-skinned. My hand... hurts a little."
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
The messenger got up from the ground angrily. He glanced at Li Shui secretly, and then lowered his head in anger.
The messenger secretly thought: The people here are all barbarians, and I am not familiar with them. After you return, you must report to Augustus and send troops to destroy this country. By then, everyone here will die...
Ying Zheng said calmly: "Come here, take this barbarian down and arrange it in the post house."
Two young eunuchs responded and took the envoy down.
Ying Zheng asked Li Shui: "How do you think I should reply to this messenger?"
Li Shui said: "I have heard about this envoy's country. It is said that it has a desire to expand. If we give in a little bit, they will be arrogant."
"It's better to send troops directly and beat them hard. You can even... destroy this country."
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "The idea of banishing immortals coincides with mine."
The little eunuch next to him heard all these words.
…………
The messenger covered his face and walked out of the palace.
I don't know whether the young eunuch was negligent or intentional. Instead of preparing a car for him, he had someone take him on foot to the post house.
Along the way, it was like a parade, and many Xianyang people came out to see the barbarians.
There were even reporters taking photos.
The little eunuch who escorted the messenger tried his best to pose in several poses, trying to show his handsome face in the newspaper.
As for the messenger, he lowered his head hard.
As a result, when he bows his head like this, he looks more like a criminal.
After the envoy went through all kinds of hardships, he finally reached the post house. Suddenly, he discovered that there was a tall man waiting there with a sword in his hand.
The sword burst out with a cold light, and the man's eyes were full of murderous indifference.
The messenger suddenly trembled.
The young eunuch introduced him enthusiastically: "This person is General Li of Great Qin."
Li Xinpi grinned with a smile.
The messenger suddenly felt a little weak in his legs.
Although he was humiliated when he was in the palace just now, at least he was not in danger of dying.
But now, he clearly felt the crisis, as if he was going to be killed by this man if he wasn't careful.
Li Xin looked at the envoy and said calmly: "I heard that you are very arrogant in the palace?"
After hearing what the translator said, the messenger shook his head repeatedly.
Then he said in a strong and powerful manner: "I... I am an envoy from another country. I am a country of etiquette. I cannot kill envoys."
Li Xin nodded: "That makes sense."
Then he put the sword back.
The envoy was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Xin in disbelief, thinking: Is this a passing test? Is it that easy? Is it too easy?
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly saw Li Xin giving orders to the people in the posthouse with a strange look on his face.
The messenger whispered to the interpreter: "What are they talking about?"
The translator hesitated for a while and then whispered: "General Li told me to be careful of fires at night, be careful of thieves and murderers, be careful of poisonous food, be careful of poisonous snakes in the house, be careful..."
The envoy was shocked: Is Da Qin so dangerous?
The translator laughed dryly: "To be honest, Da Qin is not that dangerous. But I don't know if it has been this dangerous recently."
The messenger somewhat understood the meaning of these words, and suddenly began to panic.
After Li Xin finished his instructions, he smiled at the envoy and strode away.
The more the messenger thought about this smile, the more strange it seemed, and he couldn't help but shudder.
It's getting dark soon.
The messenger sat on the low couch and could not fall asleep.
He hadn't had dinner and was now terribly hungry. Because he was worried that the dinner was poisonous.
Although the envoy had inquired before coming, he knew that Da Qin was a country of etiquette and would not easily kill the envoy.
In other words, the messenger will not be killed.
But after actually arriving here, the envoy realized that hearsay was not advisable.
The banished immortal in the palace and the general in the post house are not good people.
Neither of these two people seemed to understand etiquette. They might have killed themselves with just a raise of their hands.
Even if they didn't dare to kill openly, they could definitely do something like poisoning the food.
If he is poisoned to death, the people of Qin can say that he died of illness. This way, there will be no loss to their reputation.
After all, after traveling long distances and being unaccustomed to the climate, it is very common for people to suddenly fall ill or die suddenly.
For his own safety, the messenger refrained from eating.
Now my stomach is growling with hunger, but this meal is on the table.
The smell of rice keeps wafting over, making people hungry and thirsty.
I don’t know how the Qin people’s rice is made. Why is it so delicious?
Could it be that this fragrance is the smell of poison?
It must be like this, after all, in my hometown, food has never been like this.
The messenger sat patiently for a while, feeling that he was getting thirstier and thirstier. So he picked up the kettle on the table.
But when the water reached his mouth, the messenger put the kettle down again.
No, no, what if the water is also poisonous? Absolutely no risk.
The messenger swallowed, moistened his throat, and sat back down.
He was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep.
But at this time, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the window.
The messenger woke up with a start.
He looked out the window warily and saw that it was someone from the post house, hurriedly walking towards the toilet.
It turned out that someone was getting up at night, it turned out that it was just getting up at night.
However... the messenger did not relax his vigilance.
Who knows if the other person is really up late at night or fake?
What if he uses Qi Ye's name to let some venomous snakes into his room?
So, he lay on the window, his eyes following the people who got up at night.
After the man walked into the toilet, the messenger kept staring at the small door of the toilet.
A quarter of an hour has passed, half an hour has passed, an hour has passed...
The messenger's legs were a little sore from standing.
At this time, the people who got up from the night finally came out slowly.
The messenger thought to himself: There is indeed a problem. Fortunately, I was very vigilant and kept an eye on him without giving him a chance to make a move. Who can stay up at night for an hour?
The messenger didn't know that the man who got up at night was holding on to the wall and walking towards his room, thinking painfully: "It's time to go to Shang Jun's Hospital to see a doctor."
"Well, as I get older, it's getting more and more difficult to go to the toilet. Could it be that I've gotten angry again recently?"
Those who got up at night returned to their rooms and fell asleep comfortably.
The messenger stared at him on the low couch until dawn.
At the same time, Feng Quili was talking to a young eunuch.
The young eunuch came over and whispered: "My lord, I have found out clearly. This is what your majesty and the banished immortal said."
Feng Quili nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, very good."
Then he took out some gold and gave it to the young eunuch.
Feng Quli, the imperial censor of the dynasty, was Wang Wan's successor.
Originally, as long as he could win over Wang Wan, he could be promoted to prime minister. But Wang Wan has been spotless recently.
Moreover, Wang Wan still owed the banished immortal money, but the banished immortal didn't touch him much.
Feng Quli felt that his hope of becoming prime minister was getting slimmer, so he simply found another way and started elsewhere.
He bribed the little eunuchs around Ying Zheng, and then through the little eunuchs, he could figure out Ying Zheng's thoughts.
In this way, when Ying Zheng summons him, he can say something that echoes the emperor's thoughts.
If things go on like this, can they still be unfavored?
After seeing off the young eunuch, Feng Quli immediately started drafting.
Today is the court meeting, and we must say something wonderful above the court meeting.
His Majesty was impressed and the courtiers were shocked.
If the effect is good this time, I will buy more eunuchs in the future.
Perhaps before Wang Wan can be impeached, His Majesty will naturally reuse him...
Feng Quli couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.
