Chapter 361
He couldn't help but swallow hard!
Sigh!
Before, not eating them, he didn't know how delicious these things were, so naturally he wasn't that craving!
But... he has already tasted them!
The door to a new world has been opened, and now they want him to go back?
Sigh!
Unwilling!
Really unwilling!
But... it's fine, as long as Zheng He is in hand, asking him to get two sweet potatoes or potatoes for him, isn't that a small matter?
Moreover, even if he can't get them, it doesn't matter!
Anyway, these things are for planting!
If we can't eat them this year, when the autumn harvest comes next year, can't we eat them then?
By that time, we'll eat red potatoes until we vomit!
As he thought this, at that moment, he held Zheng He's hand even tighter!
Extremely happy, and extremely expectant!
Inside Outside Xianyanggong, he even made Zheng He sit beside him, let him eat at the same table, personally poured wine for him, and personally praised his achievements!
Even... he wanted to grant him a marquis title!
"How about granting you the title of Great Qin Food Marquis?"
Seeing Ying Zheng asked, and the moment these words left his mouth, Zhuge Liang, Zuo Zuo Zongtang, and all of them were shocked!
At this moment, they even wanted to stop it!
It wasn't that they didn't want Zheng He to be granted a marquis title!
It's just that Zheng He's role is really too big!
And if Seeing Ying Zheng grants him a marquis title, wouldn't that clearly mean he is being wooed over by Seeing Ying Zheng?
Such an important person, how can he be let go?
They were very anxious!
But... Zheng He bowed to Seeing Ying Zheng: "Thank you, Retired Emperor, but regarding the matter of granting a marquis title, I have little interest, and moreover, even if a title is granted, it should be personally conferred by the Emperor!"
"What?"
What does this Zheng He mean?
Does it mean he is unwilling to accept my wooing?
At this moment, Seeing Ying Zheng was simply furious!
Zhuge Liang then bowed to Seeing Ying Zheng: "Retired Emperor, granting a marquis title is done personally by the Emperor; no one else has this right!"
"You... you..."
Seeing Ying Zheng pointed at Zhuge Liang; he was so angry he ground his teeth!
Finally, he downed a cup of wine fiercely, and even... wanted to leave this place!
He was really very angry!
Wooing Dai Xin, wooing failed!
Wooing Zheng He, wooing also failed!
These important people, not one can be wooed over; how can I seize power from Facing Ying Su's hands!
Could it be... that I am destined to be suppressed by nature?
Suppressed by Lu Buwei when young, and suppressed by a rebellious son when old?
Seeing Ying Zheng was furious!
But at the same time, he couldn't help but be curious, really wanting to ask Dai Xin or Zheng He one question!
The rebellious son Facing Ying Su, what exactly is so good about him that they are so loyal to him?
And Xiao He, Li Si, and the others!
Really... each one is like a damn fool, only knowing how to be loyal to that rebellious son!
What?
Am I, the First Emperor Seeing Ying Zheng, so worthless?
Not even worthy of your loyalty?
The more Seeing Ying Zheng thought about it, the angrier he got!
However... just as the anger in his chest was surging wildly!
Suddenly, a message flew into Outside Xianyanggong!
"Great Victory!"
"Great Victory!"
"Congratulations, First Emperor, a great victory!"
"General Meng Wu, stationed at Yan Sect Pass, has sent a swift horse with a frontline victory report!"
"The Sixth Young Master Facing Ying Su fought a battle against the Xiongnu on the snow mountain, killing three million Xiongnu; six million Xiongnu were killed, leaving only three hundred thousand to flee in panic!"
"The only regret is... Li Yuanba and Li Cunxiao both died in battle!"
"Also died in battle were Han Xin's eighty thousand men!"
"But even so, it is still a victory report!"
"Your Majesty, the Xiongnu have been annihilated!"
"Congratulations to the First Emperor! Congratulations to the First Emperor!"
159. Catastrophe, the peril of national extinction!
Great Qin!
Xianyang City!
Inside Outside Xianyanggong!
At the welcome banquet for Zheng He's return!
Soldiers arriving from Yan Sect Pass were shouting, delivering a report of victory!
Moreover, they handed over the victory report sent by Tell Meng Wu!
But... at this Changyan Society, those who heard these words showed no reaction whatsoever!
Yes!
Not the slightest reaction!
Indeed... many even began to doubt this soldier's identity!
Who is this?
Why deliver such a false victory report?
What is the purpose?
And what is the point?
At this very moment, almost everyone doubted all of this!
But... this cannot be blamed on them!
Mainly because the news he brought back was simply too outrageous, too astonishing!
Listen first to what he is saying!
The Xiongnu have been annihilated!
Of the three million people, only three hundred thousand remain, fleeing in panic!
Listen, is this human speech?
Three million people!
That is three million people!
Have you ever seen three million people?
Do you even know what three million people means?
Xianyang City, the most populous city of Great Qin, including the army and others, has only eight hundred thousand people!
The total population of the Xia Dynasty was only two million seven hundred thousand!
