Li Chen's words actually moved Huangji Tian a little.
He felt that Li Chen's words were sincere and genuine.
After all, everyone can see how powerful this thing is. If something goes wrong, I'll be the one sent back home in a box.
If there were a second generation that was better performing and more secure, that would be ideal.
After all, the prince of Qin has promised that as long as there is a second generation, he will definitely give himself a batch of...
That promise is enough.
"Your Highness is thoughtful."
The Emperor, seated high upon his throne, greeted everyone with a graceful bow.
Li Chen said with a smile, "It's almost time for dinner now. Why don't you stay here, Thirteenth Brother, and have dinner with this palace before going back"
Huangji Tian Congshan, with a smile, said: "I've long heard that the Central Plains region is vast and abundant in resources, with talented people and fertile land. The cuisine is even more diverse and endless. I've been eager to experience the delicacies of the Central Plains. So, it would be disrespectful not to follow your lead. Therefore, I shall follow your arrangements."
Li Chen laughed and turned to say, "Tell the kitchen to prepare a feast."
Hosting a prince from the Jin Kingdom is certainly no ordinary affair.
A grand banquet, at the very least a state dinner level affair, was set upon the table. The chefs from the Eastern Palace had practically pulled out all the stops, offering a lavish spread of dishes in every color imaginable. Not only was Huang Ji Tian astonished by the culinary artistry, but even his two attendants couldn't help themselves, their chopsticks flying as they feasted heartily.
Song Yingxing wasn't originally qualified to stay for the meal, but at Li Chen's command, he also tasted a genuine state banquet.
Until the meal ended, Huangji Tianxin, satisfied, took his leave with two attendants. Li Chen did not try to stop them, letting them go.
As the highest-level representative that the Jin State could send, Huangji Tian would not leave the capital city before the cooperation between the two countries officially began or formally collapsed.
All he had to do now was get the news of Li Chen’s plan to devour Liaoning's 600,000 cavalry and send it back to the Jin capital. Then, the Jin Emperor could make a decision. And Li Chen believed that Huangji Tian would certainly give a detailed account of the specifics regarding the Qin Divine Thunder.
After the Jin Dynasty reached a decision internally, then Emperor Xuanzong would come forward to discuss it.
Li Chen didn't mind Jin Guo taking more time to consider, this was reasonable after all. After all, this cooperation concerned the national fortunes of both countries. The emperor of Jin Guo wouldn't act rashly and would definitely have to think things through carefully.
And Li Chen wasn't in a hurry either.
If we cooperate and open the Yueya Pass, we can defeat 600,000 iron cavalry of Liao and the benefits for Qin will be even greater.
If we cannot cooperate, then close the Yuyue Pass and deal with internal conflicts before turning our attention to the Liao Kingdom. Proceeding step by step will not result in significant losses.
After Huangji Tian took people away, Li Chen was still being served by Wan Jiaojiao as he wiped his mouth, Song Yingxing knelt down in front of Li Chen with a thump.
"What are you doing" Li Chen asked Song Yingxing in surprise.
Song Yingxing, with a somber face, said to the prince, "Your Highness, there are only two Qin Divine Thunderbolts in total. One was used just now, and the other is kept as a spare at the residence of an artisan in the Ministry of Works. This thing is extremely difficult to manufacture; ordinary craftsmen simply cannot make it. Even if they manage to produce one, it will be defective if their skills are insufficient. It may not explode properly or be too weak. There's also a risk of it exploding during the manufacturing process."
And the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, besides manufacturing large Qin thunderbolts, also built firearms and ammunition. It takes several years of experience to accumulate enough for a major battle.Chapter 1115: Newcomers Returning Home
