The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 79 Please, Your Highness, declare yourself Emperor! (Seeking monthly votes and continued reading)
Yunzhou City, the governor's residence.

In the hall, Yunzhou Governor Mei Yinxiang looked at Liang King Qin Changge with a panicked expression.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!" Mei Yinxiang exclaimed, "Jingzhou has fallen!"

Witness the fall of Jingzhou, Witness Points +10!

Both Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan were somewhat taken aback.

“Jingzhou is a strategic location. As long as we hold Jingzhou, we can control Qingzhou, Taizhou, and Haizhou. It is a vital place. And then… it was lost?” Qin Changge looked at Mei Yinxiang in disbelief.

Mei Yinxiang nodded, also feeling a bit scared.

"It is said that the Prince of Jin bribed Yan Xianshuang, the registrar of Jingzhou, and together they wiped out Jingzhou in one fell swoop." Mei Yinxiang's voice trembled.

It should be noted that if the Prince of Jin could subdue Jingzhou in this way, he might not be unable to subdue Yunzhou in the same way.

"What did His Majesty say?" Qin Changge asked.

After all, the fourth brother, Qin Chang'an, possessed a brilliant mind and was the smartest person in the world. There was no way he couldn't find a way.

Mei Yinxiang shook her head. "I don't know. Half of the country has fallen, and the teleportation arrays have all been shut down."

"What do you mean?" Qin Changge asked.

Mei Yinxiang explained, "Our teleportation arrays have all been shut down by the capital, so they're unusable now."

"Depend on!"

Qin Changge was somewhat taken aback.

In that case, if Qin Changqing sets up a trap outside Yunzhou City, then Qin Changge won't be able to escape even if he wants to.

"No, I have to run away." Qin Changge made a quick decision. "I'll find a secluded mountain valley to hide in for a few months and come out again when things are peaceful."

"No, Your Highness!" Mei Yinxiang stopped Qin Changge.

"Why not?" Qin Changge asked hesitantly.

“If you run away, we’re doomed,” Mei Yinxiang said.

"Whether you finish or not is none of my business," Qin Changge said mercilessly.

Mei Yinxiang: “…”

Mei Yinxiang quickly said, "Your Highness, the situation hasn't reached that point yet. Please wait a few more days and see how His Majesty deals with Prince Jin!"

Qin Changge thought about it and realized that it made sense.

If he leaves now, he will lose all his shops and businesses.

Even if we're going to run away, we need to sell these things first to cover our travel expenses!

"Alright, let's wait another day or two." Qin Changge nodded.

The main reason is that Yunzhou is located in a very remote area. The Prince of Jin could have just attacked the capital directly, so why bother coming to Yunzhou?

This riot is very likely to have no impact on Yunzhou at all; if Qin Changge runs around recklessly, he might actually suffer the consequences.

……

Jingzhou City, the Governor's Mansion.

Qin Changqing was working in the governor's mansion. He had already planned the attack route: first take Yunzhou to cut off Qin Chang'an's retreat, and then head to the capital.

In this way, the entire world fell into Qin Changqing's hands.

Taking Yunzhou should be relatively easy. Lao Liu is such a coward, he might surrender the city as soon as Qin Changqing arrives.

Of course, they could also simply run away, leaving behind an empty city.

Qin Changqing shook his head and smiled nonchalantly.

The reason he was in such a good mood was, of course, because they had captured Jingzhou. Once Jingzhou was captured, the initiative on the entire battlefield shifted from the imperial court to Qin Changqing's side.

Qin Changqing knew that even if the fourth brother, Qin Chang'an, had a brilliant mind, he wouldn't be able to solve this problem.

Just then, Qin Changqing suddenly sensed a powerful battle fluctuation, indicating that at least second-rank or higher experts were clashing.

Qin Changqing's expression hardened, and then he flew out of the governor's mansion and into the sky.

Two figures were seen facing each other high in the sky.

"Yan Guzhou, how dare you interfere in the affairs of the royal family?" Qin Canglan's voice rang out.

Yan Guzhou didn't say anything, but stood directly next to Qin Changqing.

"I only accepted a mission to protect Prince Jin."

Qin Changqing looked at Qin Canglan and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Ancestor."

In theory, Qin Canglan should be Qin Changqing's grandfather's brother, and they have a very close relationship.

Qin Canglan snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

Qin Changqing said, "I don't believe my father would ask you to take action."

"Your father did indeed instruct that he should not interfere in your affairs," Qin Canglan nodded.

Qin Changqing asked, "Then why have you come?"

Qin Canglan said unhappily, "The new emperor is using the ancestral system of Qin as an excuse, how can I not come?" Qin Changqing said, "But you can't do anything to me now, so why don't we just give up?"

Qin Canglan fell silent. "You little brats are all so clever!"

Qin Changqing smiled slightly and said, "My grandson is only trying to protect the foundation of the Great Qin, while the fourth son wants to gamble the foundation of the Great Qin with his naive idea."

“Indeed, the new emperor likes to take risks,” Qin Canglan nodded in agreement, his impression of Qin Chang’an was indeed not as good as that of Qin Changqing.

"I'm leaving. I don't want to get involved in your affairs." Qin Canglan turned and left.

"Respectfully seeing off the Ancestor!" Qin Changqing said with utmost respect.

After Qin Canglan left, Qin Changqing clasped his hands in thanks to Yan Guzhou and said, "Thank you, Elder Yan."

"No need for formalities," Yan Guzhou nodded.

Yan Guzhou was the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sword Sect. With Qin Changjian's connection, the Qingyun Sword Sect naturally sided with Qin Changqing.

Qin Chang'an is too "wishful thinking". If Qin Chang'an were to gain power, the Qingyun Sword Sect would probably be in trouble.

Therefore, the Qingyun Sword Sect still prefers Qin Changqing to be emperor.

"I'll leave the rest of the trip to Yunzhou to Elder Yan's continued protection."

"Easy to say."

……

……

Yunzhou, the governor's office.

In the hall, Governor Mei Yinxiang looked at Prince Liang, Qin Changge, with a trembling expression.

Qin Changge asked, "What is it now?"

Qin Changge has already sold the shop and is ready to leave at any time, but he is not sure where he will go.

After all, Yunzhou itself is a relatively safe place, but we absolutely cannot stay in Yunzhou City.

“The imperial army of 100,000 has surrendered.” Mei Yinxiang’s voice trembled.

[Witness the surrender of 100,000 imperial troops, Witness Points +10!]

Qin Changge was somewhat taken aback, "You surrendered so readily?"

Mei Yinxiang explained, "The Prince of Jin sent people to impersonate the supply train of Jingzhou and poison the imperial army. After being poisoned, they were like meat on a chopping board, so the imperial army surrendered."

"That's too childish," Qin Changge rolled her eyes.

It's understandable, though, since no matter how many battles they fought, it was always the son of the Holy Martial Emperor Qin Tianlai who became emperor.

“The rebels now number 400,000 and have already assembled.” Mei Yinxiang swallowed hard, her face pale.

Qin Changge said, "They'll definitely head straight for the capital, striking at the heart of the enemy!"

Mei Yinxiang shook her head. "An army of 400,000 is heading straight for Yunzhou!"

"???"

Qin Changge was completely stunned.

[Witness the 400,000-strong army marching towards Yunzhou, Witness Points +10!]

"Are you kidding me?" Qin Changge asked.

Mei Yinxiang shook her head. "Your Highness, Prince Jin's plan is to cut off His Majesty's retreat first. That way, when the capital is surrounded, His Majesty will have no choice but to wait for his death."

Qin Changge realized what was happening and asked, "Then what should we do? Should we just vote?"

It should be noted that Qin Changge had specifically researched the situation and found that after Jingzhou was occupied, King Qin Changhe of Shu was still living a very comfortable life.

However, Qin Changge dared not gamble. What if Qin Changqing let Qin Changhe go but was unwilling to let Qin Changge go?
“Your Highness, we have a better idea,” Mei Yinxiang suddenly said.

"Hmm?" Qin Changge raised an eyebrow.

At this moment, Xiao Dashan, who was standing behind Qin Changge, suddenly took out a dragon robe and draped it over Qin Changge's shoulders.

"What?" Qin Changge was completely stunned.

Mei Yinxiang explained, "The Prince of Jin sent troops to Yunzhou because he was worried that Yunzhou would become His Majesty's escape route. We just need to cut off His Majesty's thoughts."

"Your Highness, Prince Liang, please declare yourself emperor!"

Just then, officials of all ranks from Yunzhou suddenly emerged from the backyard of the governor's mansion.

"Your Highness, Prince Liang, please declare yourself emperor!"

"Your Highness, Prince Liang, please declare yourself emperor!"

Qin Changge stared in disbelief at the scene.

"You, you all, you have truly brought me great suffering!"

[Witness King Liang's ascension to the throne, Witness Points +100!]
