Chapter 1520
The central position was originally where King Samprati sat.
But today, King Samprati did not sit up there either.
Instead, he sat below with the Great Qin generals.
"Commander Han, generals, this cup of wine is to toast you."
"Thank you for the help of the Great Qin Empire!"
"The Mauryan Empire will keep it in mind and never forget it!"
"In the future, we will also pay tribute to Great Qin every year, and will never delay!"
King Samprati on the side picked up a wine cup and drank it all in one gulp toward General Han Xin.
"King, you are too polite."
"I hope the King will do as he says!"
General Han Xin saw King Samprati drink the wine in the cup so boldly.
He also picked up the wine cup on the table and drank the turbid wine inside into his mouth.
Uh, uh, uh...
This mouthful of wine almost made General Han Xin spit it out.
But in the end, he resisted this impulse.
After all, as a great country, some basic etiquette still had to be maintained.
He just drank the wine in the cup hard, his face flushed red, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
But the rest of the generals didn't think so much.
The wine that had just entered their mouths was sprayed out directly.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"This is too hard to drink, right?"
"How could Commander Han drink such hard-to-drink wine?"
The generals wiped their mouths one after another, not daring to touch these wines again.
These wines were far worse than Great Qin's, simply incomparable.
These were not wine at all; they were even harder to drink than plain water.
"This..."
King Samprati and the officials of the Mauryan Empire looked at all this awkwardly.
They had taken out the best wine to entertain the guests.
Originally, they also wanted to build a good relationship.
After all, they would be a vassal state of Great Qin in the future, so this relationship had to be managed well.
Great Qin was too strong; they couldn't resist, so they could only accept this fact.
But who knew that the best wine they had here was worthless in the eyes of these Great Qin generals.
They were reluctant to drink these wines themselves usually.
Only on important days would they take some out to drink.
The best things they had were worthless in the eyes of others.
This couldn't help but make them somewhat doubt life.
At this time, they were all thinking about a question in their hearts.
Is the Great Qin Empire really that powerful?
Is the life of the Great Qin Empire that good?
The best things in their eyes were not even looked upon in the eyes of others.
This made them awkward.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
General Han Xin coughed a few times.
The muttering generals then closed their mouths.
They then realized that there were so many people present.
It was not very good to speak out like this.
"That... King, I am truly sorry."
"They have never drunk such hard-to-drink wine before; I hope the King will forgive them."
General Han Xin was helpless; it was enough to know it was hard to drink; there was no need to say it out.
After all, the Mauryan Empire in the future would be a vassal state of Great Qin.
It was better not to make the relationship between the two sides too stiff.
This was conducive to future cooperation.
Although force could make the people of the Mauryan Empire not dare to mess around.
But many times, one still had to convince people with virtue; that was the best policy.
"It's fine; I didn't know you weren't used to drinking it."
"This is the best wine in our Mauryan Empire."
"Specially taken out to entertain you."
King Samprati was somewhat awkward.
But there was nothing he could do.
General Han Xin nodded upon hearing this.
As long as it was the best, it was fine.
Because the intention had arrived; a small gift is a token of deep affection.
The country's strength was limited, and they couldn't bring out such good things.
This point could also be considered understandable.
"Shanu."
"Do we still have the sweet potato wine and rice wine we brought?"
General Han Xin looked at Shanu on the side.
He remembered bringing a batch of wine before.
He didn't know if those little rabbits had finished drinking it.
Originally, this was forbidden; drinking was forbidden in the army.
However, because General Han Xin's merit was relatively great recently.
Privately storing some wine was not a big deal.
As long as no big problems occurred, everything was a small matter.
He wanted to take some for these people to try, letting them see the strength of Great Qin.
"Commander, there is still some left."
"But not much."
Shanu was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Commander Han wanted to do.
But he still answered this question honestly.
Upon hearing that there was still some, General Han Xin couldn't help but reveal a trace of a smile.
It was time to show the alternative strength of Great Qin.
"Very good, go get some."
"To use the Prince's words, we are partners."
"Let our partners also taste the fine wine of Great Qin!"
General Han Xin looked at King Samprati; it was time to show the strength of Great Qin.
Otherwise, this group of people wouldn't know how strong Great Qin was.
"Yes!"
Shanu stood up and quickly left.
King Samprati and those officials, upon hearing that there was fine wine to share, were expectant and somewhat embarrassed.
After all, they were entertaining guests, but the guests had to bring their own wine.
After all, they were hosting guests, yet the guests insisted on bringing their own drinks.
