Chapter 92 Zhongliying
"Why is he here?!" Dong Yi stood up in a hurry and wiped away his tears.
Ziying sneered and said, "Of course that old guy Fan Zeng is worried about you. If he doesn't come forward for such a big thing, Zhongli Mei can only come."
Zhongli Mei stopped the carriage behind Dong Yi, and out of courtesy, gave a symbolic salute to Ziying.
"Forget it, I'm no longer the King of Qin." Ziying said with a smile, "Is Commander Zhongli's leg feeling better today?"
Zhongli Mei had no expression on his face and turned to Dong Yi and asked, "Did Captain Dong accept the peace request from King Qin?"
"I accepted it together with the Jade Seal of the State of Qin." Dong Yi whispered.
Zhongli Mei caught a glimpse of Dong Yi's red eyes and couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"Bring the peace letter." Zhongli Mei stretched out his hand towards Dong Yi.
Dong Yi did not dare to disobey. He lowered his head and slowly presented the peace proposal with both hands.
After Zhongli Mei read it, his eyes widened, "The peace petition was clearly written by the defeated country, how could it be in the name of Commander Xiang? Who did this?!"
"Dong Yi, it was you who wrote it, right?!" Zhongli Mei noticed Dong Yi's bloody index finger.
"It's not me, it's...it was written by the King of Qin who grabbed my finger." Dong Yi hurriedly explained.
"Zi Ying! Are you still unclear about Qin's situation today?" Zhong Lizhen tore up the peace treaty with both hands, "I also ask the King of Qin to rewrite it until I am satisfied."
Ziying put away his smile and looked directly into Zhongli Mei's angry eyes, "Zhongli Mei, you should also know Xiang Yu's situation. If I didn't write it, he wouldn't dare to fight. Three hundred thousand people would have to go back to Pengcheng in despair.
Xiang Yu cannot afford to lose face like this."
"Is the King of Qin so sure that Commander Xiang will not start a war? If the King of Qin does not rewrite today, the people of Xianyang will be implicated to death by you, and the loss of life is all caused by you." Zhongli Mei threatened.
Ziying stretched out his hand and snatched the fake jade seal from Dong Yi's arms, "Then let him fight. At that time, the Chu army lost soldiers and generals but could not attack for a long time. The reputation Xiang Yu won in Julu will be completely dissipated in Xianyang!"
"I see that the leader of the Chu army has no sincerity in negotiating peace. Your Majesty will return to the palace first, and you should meet with the soldiers of the Chu army someday." Lingfen helped Ziying make gestures.
"What Aiqing said makes sense." Ziying nodded playfully, not wanting to reveal Lingfen's identity in front of others, "That's it, let's go back to the palace!"
Zhongli Mei didn't know how Ziying was sure that Xiang Yu wanted to make peace. He just wanted to intimidate Ziying in order to retaliate against Ziying for causing trouble in the Chu camp.
Now it seems that the fraud is impossible. If Ziying really refuses to negotiate for peace, the dignified Xiang Yu will be the one who suffers the most.
Seeing Ziying half-body entering the six-carriage carriage, Zhongli Mei rushed over and blocked the front of the carriage.
"If Commander Zhongli doesn't go back to inform Xiang Yu about preparing for war, why are you stopping here?" Ziying mocked.
"For King Qin to know Commander Xiang's thoughts so clearly, he must have an expert in Xianyang City. In this case, it would be better to make some things clear," Zhongli Mei said in a low voice.
"What are you talking about?" Ziying sat on the carriage and looked down.
"Didn't King Qin also want to seek peace? Why bother to play hard to get?!" Zhongli Mei frowned.
"Hmph!" Ziying sneered, "Because I can drag him down, but Xiang Yu can't. Everything will be at my mercy here, unless Xiang Yu is willing to abandon Sima Longju who is fighting hard in Hebei."
Zhongli Mei suppressed his anger and said, "Commander Xiang is already tolerant of King Qin. He just wants to strip him of his royal title and hand over his jade seal. What else does King Qin want?"
"The one who just tore up the peace agreement was Commander Zhongli. Why did he ask about me instead?" Ziying said disdainfully.
"But the contract can't be written like this!"
"Commander Zhongli can learn from my handwriting and forge a letter. He wants me to rewrite it and let you check it. Are you worthy?!" Ziying said sarcastically.
Zhong Lizhen closed his eyes and gathered his breath, and completely compromised, "It's good that the King of Qin will stop beating around the bush. I can also write the peace agreement for you. In addition, Mr. Fan Zeng has one more request - hang the totem flag of Chu State on the tower of Xianyang."
"Is the old man dreaming? Why doesn't he let me replace the guards in the city with people from the Chu camp?" Ziying said angrily.
"I know that King Qin will definitely not agree. If King Qin doesn't want to do this, he can just accept the totem flag. Mr. Fan Zeng will not send anyone to check." Zhong Lizhen said.
Ziying's left leg was on the edge of the car, and his right leg was dangling in the air, looking at Zhongli Mei with interest.
Yesterday there were still grievances, but today, he could give in to such a big deal for a big matter. Among Xiang Yu's five tiger generals, only Zhongli Mei, the calmest one, could do it.
Zhongli Mei was no less loyal to Xiang Yu than Sima Longju. Sima Longju died in the Battle of Weishui. Zhongli Mei did not surrender to Liu Bang after Xiang Yu's death. Instead, he surrendered to Han Xin's army and persuaded Han Xin to become independent.
In order to express his gratitude to Liu Bang for being a general, Han Xin took the initiative to kill Zhongli Mei. Soon after, Han Xin was also eliminated by Liu Bang.
In terms of combat capability, during the Chu-Han War, Zhongli Mei could defeat Liu Bang with his own troops. This is why Liu Bang must eradicate Zhongli Mei.
Ziying felt a little regretful that such talents could not be used by him.
"So what's in the carriage is the Phoenix totem flag of Chu?" Ziying's attitude softened slightly.
"Not only the Phoenix Totem Flag, but also a beauty from Wei." Zhongli Mei replied.
Ziying secretly laughed at Fan Zeng. This old man was really scheming. He was going back to Pengcheng soon, so he didn't forget to keep an eyeliner by his side.
"I don't want to be under surveillance, so send me back." Ziying said bluntly.
"Someone once saw this woman's face. She must be pregnant with a dragon son. Are you sure King Qin won't keep her?" Zhongli Mei asked.
"Do not stay."
Zhong Lizhen sighed and walked back into the carriage with murderous intent.
"Commander Zhongli, spare your life!" The woman's beautiful and panicked voice came from the car.
Ziying jumped out of the six-carriage carriage, ran over and grabbed Zhongli Mei's arm, "What are you going to do?!"
"Since the King of Qin has guessed the purpose of this woman, there is no need for me to hide it." Zhong Lizhen explained, "Mr. Fan Zeng specially sent people to find this woman from Wei. Although there are rumors about this woman, she has a humble background. Since the King of Qin
If we don’t accept it, there will be no need for her to live.”
Forced buying and selling plus moral kidnapping?
Ziying was speechless, Zhongli Mei was clearly forcing him to keep someone.
