Clash of Kings

Faced with this situation, Zhou Wuji could only dispatch a large number of troops to patrol and guard the entire Zhenbei to prevent such gang fights from happening again.

Fortunately, there were only a dozen days left in the three-month period. Ma Feifei felt that as long as no one died, once the "Walking Books" mission was completed, everyone could go home, and he wouldn't care what happened to them.

But in fact, Ma Feifei underestimated the Revenge capabilities of these monarchs, and even underestimated their cunning.

The night was cool and still.

At the bottom of the No. 30 residence, as usual, Crown Prince Yan, Yan Xun, King Qi Wen, King Zhao Kang, and Qiu Yunzi, the only one who was not a king, sat together to prepare for dinner.

Qin Shi Huang did not come out; he had servants who would personally deliver food to his room, and even if he didn't eat, he wouldn't starve.

"Your King Yan, why don't we just let this matter go? Today's incident has caused quite a stir, and I'm afraid the shopkeeper will be unhappy if he finds out, which could cause you unnecessary trouble." King Zhao Kang, still appearing as a good-natured person, smiled and acted as a peacemaker.

Crown Prince Yan remained silent. He was not a Competitive person; all of this was simply due to being bullied by Qin Shi Huang, coupled with Yan Xun's instigation, so Crown Prince Yan naturally rose up in resistance.

Of course, by now he's become addicted to it and doesn't need anyone to tempt him anymore.

Yan Xun, holding the luminous cup and staring at the wine inside, replied, "King Zhao, this matter was caused by Qin Shi Huang himself; it has nothing to do with us brothers. If you want to mediate, you should go to Qin Shi Huang first."

"Yes, the three-month period is about to end. If Qin Shi Huang is willing to coexist peacefully with us, we naturally won't Taunt him," Crown Prince Yan chimed in. Everyone's cultivation has been sealed by the Mysterious Bookstore, meaning they can't use any Spiritual Power for the next three months and must rely entirely on their physical strength. Under these circumstances, Crown Prince Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun felt more confident, no longer acting like mice before a cat when they saw Qin Shi Huang.

Moreover, this kind of thing is addictive. Even if Qin Shi Huang took the initiative to reconcile with them and asked them to be patient for a while to calm things down, the two of them might not agree.

Since we're destined never to be friends, I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to bully you. If I accidentally kill you, I'll actually win, right?

"The First Emperor seems to have the intention to make peace. Why don't I go in and talk to him?" For some reason, King Zhao Kang was very concerned about this matter today, and was actually willing to go in and talk to the Qin Shi Huang.

Even King Qi Wen, who was reading a book, glanced at King Zhao Kang with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

"If King Zhao is willing, then my brother and I naturally have nothing to say." Yan Xun gestured for him to proceed and said with a playful smile. He also wanted to know what King Zhao Kang was really up to.

King Zhao Kang chuckled, got up and walked towards Qin Shi Huang's room, leaving the four people with puzzled expressions.

"King Zhao's true intention is not what it seems!" King Qi Wen suddenly quipped in a refined manner.

Crown Prince Yan also said with doubt, "Although he always seems like a nice guy, he gives me an uncomfortable feeling."

"Ha!" Yan Xun sneered, watching King Zhao Kang's retreating figure, and said, "He's no better; a smiling tiger."

Only Qiu Yunzi remained indifferent, focusing intently on the food on the table.

However, the others lost their appetite, each lost in their own thoughts, sitting listlessly in their seats, waiting for King Zhao Kang to appear.

Before long, King Zhao Kang indeed brought out Qin Shi Huang, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to have reached an agreement.

Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun felt a chill in their hearts upon seeing this scene.

"You see, after my persuasion, the First Emperor has agreed to reconcile with you two. Now it's up to you to decide," King Zhao Kang said, sitting back down in his seat and looking at Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan.

Qin Shi Huang sat beside him, silent.

Crown Prince Yan and Yan Xun exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt.

"Since the King Zhao has mediated, my brother and I are naturally happy to reconcile." Yan Xun raised his wine cup, waving it at Qin Shi Huang, and said, "Your First Emperor, I toast you."

"That's good, that's good. It would be so much better if everyone could get along well and have a pleasant time. Why fight all the time? It's so discordant," King Zhao Kang chuckled and muttered to himself.

But everyone's attention was focused on Qin Shi Huang, wanting to see Qin Shi Huang next move.

Without hesitation, Qin Shi Huang picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Good!" Yan Xun shouted, then downed the wine in his hand in one gulp.

The Crown Prince Yan, standing to the side, felt the same way. Although they were natural adversaries of Qin Shi Huang, they still admired Qin Shi Huang greatly. He was a man of great talent and ambition, and in all the years of the Azure Dragon Continent, he was the only one who dared to speak of unifying the continent. He was an object of respect for all the monarchs.

"Come, come, let's drink too. Let me tell you, this wine is different today. It's a precious nectar specially brought from the netherworld of Zhao State, Last Resort for thousands of years. It's incredibly fragrant and strong." King Zhao Kang urged everyone to drink while explaining the wines on the table.

At first, no one thought anything of it. The food and Alto Mare all tested for poison by the people from Wantong Trading Market. If they were not safe, they would never appear at the banquet. They just felt that this wine was indeed extraordinary. It was more fragrant and concentrated than ordinary wines and was more invigorating to drink.

But as I drank more, something felt off; why was this wine so potent?

Although Yan Xun and the others had their cultivation sealed, their physical constitutions remained intact. Ordinary alcohol would not make them drunk no matter how much they drank. But today was different. After only a few rounds of drinks, their minds were already a little hazy, and they could hardly see people clearly.

"I am a little too drunk to drink, so I will go back to my room to rest first. Please enjoy your drinks." King Qi Wen had also been persuaded to drink quite a bit, and now his face was flushed and he was in a daze. He stood up unsteadily, and only the support of the maidservant beside him helped him to steady himself.

"Take care, King Qi." King Zhao Kang, his face also flushed, patted King Qi Wen's hand as a greeting.

As for Yan Xun and Crown Prince Yan, they were already quite weak, in a daze, unable to distinguish who was talking to whom, let alone greet each other.

"I'm not feeling well either, I need to go back to my room to rest. Please enjoy your drinks, gentlemen." Qiu Yunzi also got up and left, feeling dizzy.

Another one has left.
