……
The next day, at dawn.
Zhangtai Palace was already packed with civil and military officials.
Ying Xia followed the etiquette and quietly stood behind his big brother, Fu Su.
His expression was naturally flawless.
The atmosphere in the royal court seemed to be a little heavy today.
Ying Xia, who was in the middle of the battle, could clearly feel this.
After Ying Zheng entered the hall and bowed, the morning court session officially began.
After some formalities, they got straight to the point.
"Your Majesty, the State of Zhao has just been destroyed, and the Xiongnu sent an envoy. I'm afraid they don't have good intentions.”
The first to step forward and speak was the current Left Prime Minister of the State of Qin, Li Si.
His expression was mature as he pointed out the main focus of this court meeting.
Sitting on a high place, Ying Zheng, who was still dressed in the Black Water Golden Dragon Robe, had a calm expression on his face.
"My dear minister, why do you say that?"
He knew the answer!
This word rose in Ying Xia's heart.
Ying Zheng was probably very clear about this.
This was most likely for them to hear.
Li Si nodded and explained.
"Your Majesty, in the past, Zhao and the Xiongnu were enemies for generations. Now, our Great Qin has destroyed Zhao and taken all its land.”
"In other words, our Great Qin will have to face the pressure of the Xiongnu coming south to herd horses.”
"Now, the Xiongnu have sent an envoy. They must be here to investigate the situation of our Great Qin.”
Ying Xia, who had heard everything, sighed inwardly.
Although Li Si was jealous of talent, he still had some things.
With just a few words, he clearly explained the purpose of the Xiongnu messenger.
"My dear ministers, you must have heard clearly.”
"This Xiongnu emissary is here to investigate the situation of Great Qin!”
Ying Zheng spoke again, but the domineering tone in his words made everyone understand his determination.
The tone of this morning court session had already been set!
The might of the Great Qin Empire was something that no one could see through!
No matter what the Xiongnu messenger said or what kind of strength he had, he would probably return in defeat.
"Announce!"
"Summon the Xiongnu emissary for an audience!"
Following the distant singing and harmony, a group of Xiongnu emissaries wearing fur clothes and felt hats also arrogantly stepped into Xianyang Palace.
The Xiongnu had always respected the strong.
In the Central Plains, only Li Mu, who used to make them afraid to herd horses in the south, was considered a figure.
Now that the State of Zhao was finished, the grass on Li Mu's grave was probably three feet tall.
The Xiongnu felt that they could do it again.
Thus, they sent messengers to investigate the situation in Qin Country.
If the Qin country was a pushover, they would absolutely not miss the opportunity to once again herd horses in the south.
This was also the general nature of the nomadic people!
After a round of salutations.
Ying Zheng, who was standing on the high platform, was exuding an intimidating aura from head to toe as he asked with a cold expression.
"Why have you come?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it made people feel that he was intimidating.
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, the two Xiongnu emissaries exchanged a glance.
The envoy on the left also stepped forward and cupped his hands in response.
"In the name of the Great Chanyu, the envoy of the Grassland Cang Lang Family, Te Zha Gufeng, has come to present a gift to the King of Qin!”
"Oh, a gift? What gifts do you have for me?"
"The Ash Wolf Clan is famous for their nomadic nature. Of course, we have to present a divine chariot beyond the Great Wall to the King of Qin today!”
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth curled up slightly, as if he was a little interested.
He gestured for the Xiongnu envoy Te Zhagu to continue.
"However, there's something that I need to inform the King of Qin in advance.”
"This horse comes from the grasslands and has a fierce personality.”
"Such a divine chariot cannot be tamed without a brave warrior!”
As soon as he said this, the provocation was obvious.
The generals on both sides saw the Xiongnu envoy act like this.
He was also furious.
Some of the older generals like Wang Jian could still restrain themselves at this moment.
Meng Tian, a general of Wang Ben's generation, was enraged and was about to explode.
You little Xiongnu emissary, who do you think you are!
"What arrogant words. Do you really think that Great Qin has no one?”
Several powerful presences approached the Xiongnu envoy, Tiete Guzha.
Yet, this Te Zha Gu was not afraid at all. When their gazes met, he also turned these oppressive auras into nothingness.
On the stage, after Zhao Gao, who had a gentle gaze, was slightly surprised, a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
This Xiongnu man was actually an expert at the peak of the grandmaster realm. He was only one step away from becoming a great grandmaster.
Such an expert was definitely not a nobody.
He was actually sent by the Xiongnu as an envoy?
However, this was Xianyang Palace.
It was the core of the Great Qin Empire, and the experts hidden within it could not be described as simple as clouds.
If a half-step great grandmaster wanted to behave atrociously in Xianyang Palace, he was still far from it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gao cast a questioning look at Ying Zheng.
As long as Ying Zheng nodded his head, not even a great grandmaster would be able to walk out of this hall, let alone a half-step great grandmaster like Te Zhagu.
However, Ying Zheng's expression remained the same, his eyes hinting Zhao Gao not to act rashly.
Then, his cold gaze swept toward the Xiongnu envoy in front of him.
"Do you think that no one in Great Qin can tame this horse?”
It was a light sentence, but its power was as heavy as a thousand catties.
Seeing this, Te Zhagu avoided the main point and did not admit or deny it.
"You've misunderstood, Qin Wang."
"When my clan's Great Chief sent us here, he specially instructed that the Qin Country's cavalry swept the world and was not inferior to my Cang Lang clan.”
"If anyone can tame it, they will be Great Qin's warriors, and our Ash Wolf Race will respect them…"
"If you can't tame it, so what?"
Li Si, the Left Minister, immediately asked.
"That's simple. Our Xiongnu will naturally go south and find a master for this horse in the territory of the former Zhao State. At that time, I hope everyone won't blame us.”
This Xiongnu envoy probably didn't even want his face anymore!
Could this be used as an excuse?
Clang!
Ying Zheng slapped his hand heavily on the document.
A clear voice echoed throughout Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Zheng was so angry that he started laughing, displaying the imposing manner of an ancient emperor.
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
"If you can't tame this horse, I will personally send the elite Qin soldiers to escort the Xiongnu south to train the horses.”
"However, if you can tame it, I want the Xiongnu royal family to personally send a thousand good horses into the Great Qin and lead them north to congratulate the Great Qin's elite soldiers.”
