Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"You are indeed here."

Compared with Qian Cai and others, Chen Shimao was not too surprised.

"This is not the place to talk, come with me."

Ye Shoujiang turned around and looked at the surrounding environment. Although he came here alone, he was prepared to keep it secret.

However, the court had many lackeys, and he was still not sure whether anyone was following him secretly.

"Okay, let's go first."

Chen Shimao nodded slowly, then took Qian Cai and several guards and followed Ye Shoujiang to a village outside the capital.

"All the people living here are my veterans. After they could no longer go to the battlefield, I placed them here."

Ye Shoujiang pointed to the village and introduced it to several people.

Then he pointed to a small courtyard next to it.

"I also have a place to stay here. I originally wanted to come and live with my brothers when I was too old to fight. But now it seems that there will be no chance."

Chen Shimao empathized with the situation:

"If there's a chance, as long as His Highness can return to the court, it won't be difficult for you to spend your old age in peace."

"Come on, follow me in."

Ye Shoujiang pushed open the fence of the courtyard and several people entered.

After taking his seat, Chen Shimao went straight to the point and said:

"General Ye, we are here to incite you and several generals from the Ministry of War to rebel."

"It would be best to bring the soldiers and generals you have. You should also have seen that the Daqian is on the decline under Your Majesty's rule."

Many of Daqian's original soldiers were indirectly under Qin Ming's command.

At that time, he would even lead his troops himself and fight on various battlefields.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qin Ming's existence frightened the villains from all directions and they dared not invade.

Especially on the northern battlefield, the reason why they were able to fight in the past few years was because they learned the news that Qin Ming had left Beijing.

The northern tribes knew that there were few people who could restrain them.

Facts proved that their judgment was correct. After Qin Ming left, the northern battlefield fell into a stalemate, which consumed countless manpower and material resources of Daqian.

"Prime Minister Chen is right."

Ye Shoujiang sighed slowly.

Ever since Qin Ming left, there have been voices in the court questioning Emperor Qian's decision.

As time went on, even Emperor Qian became suspicious.

Now he makes decisions not based on right or wrong, but on his stance.

As long as he can stand against Qin Ming and publicize his own correctness, Emperor Qian will do it without hesitation.

"I have only one request."

"Just say it straight. If it's within our capabilities, we will definitely agree to it."

Chen Shimao is the second most important person in the entire Lingnan region, second only to Qin Ming.

When he comes out to negotiate, he can make corresponding promises and fulfill them.

"I don't want to see so much suffering. If I had joined the King of Qin, I might not have fought so hastily, nor would I have killed so many people."

"Similarly, I also hope that the King of Qin will not kill too many people."

Ye Shoujiang has the people of the world in his heart.

He knew that once the war broke out, it would inevitably lead to the devastation of all the people in Daqian, and the damage would take decades to recover.

Qian Cai and Chang Baishan looked at each other and both felt relieved.

I thought Ye Shoujiang would make some difficult requests.

Now it seems that it is not too troublesome.

Chen Shimao nodded slowly and said to Ye Shoujiang in a gentle tone:

"Don't worry, General Ye. I have already informed the King of Qin of what you said."

When gathering people from all over the place, Chen Shimao had told Qin Ming to kill as few people as possible.

This not only protects people's livelihood, but also ensures that Daqian remains healthy when he takes over the empire in the future.

"That's fine. I can take 30,000 people away. As for the generals in the army, you don't have to worry about them. Just leave it to me."

Ye Shoujiang has a high prestige in Daqian's army.

If he came forward, he could quickly incite many senior generals to rebel.

In this way, Qin Ming's offensive path will be smoother.

"Okay, remember, we only have seven days."

Chen Shimao confirmed the time with him again.

When they agreed with Qin Ming, they only had half a month left.

Adding the time spent on the journey, there are only seven days left.

Within seven days, Chen Shimao will hollow out the entire court.

By then, Emperor Qian will be defeated!

Qian Cai rubbed his hands, he couldn't help it anymore.

"Prime Minister Chen, now that General Ye's matter has been resolved, can I enter the city as well?"

Qian Cai came back this time to persuade his old friends to join the King of Qin.

He had been looking forward to communicating with them along the way and was already a little impatient at this time.

"Let's go."

Chen Shimao nodded slowly, and they separated from Ye Shoujiang and entered the capital separately.

……

Outside the Changhe military camp.

Qin Ming arrived here by crossing the long river in a small boat. The soldiers who got off the boat behind him carried their supplies off the boat little by little, and then transported them to the military camp using carts.

Liu Chuang stood by the river and said to Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, why did you send another batch of hot air balloons?"

Liu Chuang had ridden in a hot air balloon before, and when he saw the various materials that could be spliced ​​together that Qin Ming sent, he knew what this was.

Qin Ming glanced at him and whispered:

"Let's put the previous batch of hot air balloons on both sides of the river. Let's get new ones."

"Um!?"

Liu Chuang sensed something was wrong and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Can you control the direction?"

The hot air balloon they made before was just the most basic version.

Floating high in the air, you can't move freely.

After absorbing craftsmen from the Central Plains, Qin Ming selected a group of top craftsmen and worked overtime to make improvements.

Finally, a hot air balloon with simple direction control was made.

In this way, they can cross the walls of some major cities in the Central Plains and launch precise strikes on the enemies inside.

"Old Liu, you are so smart?"

Hearing his words, Qin Ming raised his eyebrows and was a little surprised.

Liu Chuang said indignantly:

"What do you mean by clever? I just don't bother showing off my intelligence to the people around me."

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to give it a try and have it done within three days."

Qin Ming patted Liu Chuang on the shoulder and spoke slowly.

"Why three days? We can use it today."

Liu Chuang immediately shook his head and corrected Qin Ming.

“It takes time to adapt.”

Qin Ming was a little confused.

But Liu Chuang walked forward and whispered a few words in Qin Ming's ear.

"good idea!"

"Lao Liu, you are really talented. Just do it."

That night, Qin Ming and Liu Chuang boarded the hot air balloon directly, ignited it, and prepared to leave.

Chen Pi and Cao Chuan below looked at them in surprise and shouted to the sky:

"Your Highness, Lao Liu, where are you going?"

"To scare people."

Liu Chuang was quite excited and manipulated their thing, which was similar to the sail on a ship, to adjust the direction little by little.

"Scary!?"

This news surprised the two people standing by.
