In the palace hall of Xianyang City of Qin State, the lights were shining brightly. Countless people were already waiting in the hall, gathered in groups of three to five, and talking in low voices.
They were all nobles, ministers, and meritorious generals of Qin who had been invited to attend King Zhaoxiang's banquet.
However, the main characters of the banquet, Baiqi and King Zhaoxiang, had yet to appear.
On the surface, the atmosphere in the hall seemed very harmonious, but if one looked closely, one would find that the civil officials and generals in the hall were clearly separated.
Civil officials gathered together, while generals gathered together, chatting and laughing.
It could be seen that the relationship between the civil officials and generals of the State of Qin did not seem too harmonious.
"The king has arrived!"
"Lord Wu An has arrived!"
While everyone in the hall was chatting happily, two loud voices came from outside the hall.
Following this, King Zhaoxiang brought Baiqi, Meng Ao, Wang He, Sima Geng, and the other generals to the entrance of the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Everyone in the hall hurriedly returned to their seats and tidied up their clothes. Then, they bowed and cupped their fists at King Qin Zhaoxiang.
"Greetings, Lord Wu An!" At the same time, many people in the hall bowed to King Zhaoxiang and cupped their fists at Bai Qi.
Everyone in the hall knew that Bai Qi's contributions were outstanding, and after he was rewarded, he would be able to advance further. Naturally, they wanted to curry favor with him.
"Everyone, you're welcome. Sit!" King Qin Zhaoxiang was in a very good mood as he spoke to everyone in the hall with a smile.
Then, he personally pulled Bai Qi to the first seat on the left of the main hall.
In ancient times, the left was respected.
When the people in the hall saw this, they were all extremely envious. In the entire State of Qin, only Fan Ju and Baiqi would be able to receive such treatment from the King of Qin.
It could be seen how much the King of Qin favored Baiqi.
Of course, they could only be envious. After all, not everyone had the ability of Baiqi.
"Let's start the banquet!" King Zhaoxiang waited for everyone to sit down before speaking again.
With King Qin Zhaoxiang's order, the banquet officially began. Delicious food and wine were served.
"Come, this first cup is for our great hero, Lord Wu An!”King Qin Zhaoxiang raised the wine cup in his hand and stood up. He spoke to everyone in the hall in a clear voice and then drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp.
"To Lord Wu An!" Everyone in the hall also raised their wine cups and drank it in one gulp.
The fact that they were able to destroy Zhao this time was naturally due to Baiqi being the commander.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. All the soldiers fought with their lives to get this back. I don't dare to take credit!”Bai Qi said humbly. However, seeing that everyone had finished their wine, he also raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
"Then this second toast is to all the meritorious generals present!”King Zhaoxiang then raised the wine cup in his hand and looked at Wang He, Meng Ao, Sima Geng, and the other generals before downing it in one gulp.
"To all the meritorious generals present!”Everyone in the hall also raised their wine cups and said, then drank it all in one gulp.
"This third cup is for all of Great Qin's soldiers who have participated in this battle!”King Zhaoxiang raised the wine cup in his hand again and spoke to everyone. As he spoke, he drank it in one gulp.
"To all of Great Qin's soldiers who have participated in this battle!”Everyone followed suit and raised their wine cups to drink.
"This fourth cup is for our Qin country. May our Qin country become more and more prosperous and stronger!”King Zhaoxiang of Qin said loudly once again, raising his wine cup and drinking.
"May the Qin country become more and more prosperous and stronger!”The people in the hall also cheered and drank the wine in one gulp.
……
Just like that, King Zhaoxiang drank bottle after bottle. Ever since King Zhaoxiang ascended the throne, he had never been so happy.
Clearly, King Zhaoxiang was very happy that the Qin State had destroyed the Zhao State.
At this moment, everyone was also very tactful. They did not disturb King Zhaoxiang's elegant mood and only followed suit to drink non-stop.
In the end, many people with poor alcohol tolerance did not know how they went back.
Even after drinking so many cups of wine, Bai Qi still acted as if nothing had happened. Even after the banquet ended, Bai Qi was still very clear-headed.
Bai Qi felt that it had something to do with his twenty years of cultivation. Ever since he ate the two Ten Year Cultivation Pills, he felt that his strength, agility, and speed had all made huge breakthroughs. All aspects of his body had also improved greatly.
When Baiqi left the palace, King Zhaoxiang was already drunk.
By the time Baiqi returned to his residence, it was already late at night.
"The Great General is back!" As soon as Bai Qi returned to his residence, Wei Lan, Bai Zhong, and Bai Fu came up to him. Clearly, they were all waiting for him.
"Yes, it's getting late. Everyone should rest early.”Baiqi said to Wei Lan and Bai Zhong.
"Bai Fu, prepare some hot water. This general will take a bath and then rest. I still have to attend the morning assembly tomorrow.”Bai Qi instructed Bai Fu.
Although today's banquet was calm and peaceful, it was because they did not want to dampen the mood of the King of Qin. Tomorrow's morning court session would not be so calm.
Baiqi did not believe that Fan Ju would allow him to ride on his head, so Fan Ju would definitely make things difficult for him in the morning court.
However, Bai Qi already had a plan in his mind. He would never fight a battle he was not confident in.
Even if Fan Ju was now a favored person by King Zhaoxiang's side, he would not allow Fan Ju to manipulate him.
For a villain like Fan Ju, he had to be killed in one go, or else there would only be endless trouble in the future.
Therefore, tomorrow, another battle would begin in the court.
As for war, he had never been afraid of it. However, the stronger the opponent, the more excited he was.
He was looking forward to the battle with Fan Ju in the court tomorrow.
