Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"But if the war is delayed because of you, Daqian will be finished."

Emperor Qian spoke in a serious tone. If he had known that Yan Dynasty would turn against them so easily, he would never have cooperated with them no matter what.

"This is not what I want, and it's normal for you to be dissatisfied."

Yan Guangshou spoke in a low voice, but did not give in at all.

Seeing that things were at an impasse, he suddenly said:

"But your majesty, don't you find it strange that these two assassins were able to escape from the vast enemy force and even used their martial arts skills to shake off the large group pursuing them?"

"What's so strange?"

Emperor Qian asked back coldly. He only knew that Han Hai was killed, but he didn't think much about it.

Yan Guangshou said meaningfully:

"I happened to have investigated some of the Southern Dynasty's situations. As far as I know, there are only a handful of powerful individuals in the world who can escape so easily."

"But most of these people are old monsters who have hidden themselves away from the world. It is impossible for them to participate in the world's competition!"

"This is enough for us to narrow down the scope. Throughout the Southern Dynasty, there are only two such strong men."

As he spoke more and more clearly, Emperor Qian seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly widened his eyes and his voice was filled with unconcealable surprise.

"Chang Baishan and... Qin Ming!?"

He couldn't believe that Qin Ming, who had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in the Southern Dynasty, would come in person.

"Only these two could kill so many people in front of tens of thousands of Yan Dynasty soldiers and still retreat calmly."

"Then, Your Majesty, are you still interested in tracking down the murderer?"

Knowing that it was Qin Ming who came to the Northern Dynasty in person, Emperor Qian could no longer suppress his desire to kill him!

One of the focuses of this war is the battlefield, but another focus is to kill Qin Ming, the core figure of the Southern Dynasty.

If Qin Ming died, the Southern Dynasty would be in chaos.

By then, the unification of the Daqian Empire will be a foregone conclusion.

"I will order the troops within Xishan to withdraw and block all official roads."

Emperor Qian made a prompt decision.

Seeing this, Yan Guangshou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This matter not only concerns Emperor Qian, but also the life and death of Yan Guangshou.

If I can't even catch the murderer, being demoted on this trip back would be a small matter. I might even have to be buried with the army for the Han family's eldest son!

Having worked so hard to climb to this position, Yan Guangshou would never allow this to happen.

After walking out of the palace and getting into the carriage, Yan Guangshou had just arrived when his men handed him several secret reports.

"General, dozens of nobles in our army have died in the past few days."

Upon hearing this, Yan Guangshou's face suddenly became even uglier.

Qin Ming's reaction was faster than he could imagine!

He had actually figured out the method of killing the nobles and causing unrest in the Yan army so early.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Guangshou whispered:

"Is there anyone from the third grade or above?"

"No, they are all lower-class nobles."

"That's good. Recently, all nobles above the third rank in each camp will be asked to return to the capital and not participate in the battlefield."

Yan Guangshou breathed a sigh of relief.

A lower-class noble who traveled across the ocean to fight in Daqian. It was obvious that he came from a poor background and had no backing.

The death of such a person is just a death, and it won't cause much stir.

But it’s different from the third grade and above, and certain protection is needed.

After receiving the order, several men immediately prepared to leave and bring the person back.

But Yan Guangshou seemed to suddenly remember something and hurriedly called them.

"Wait a minute, you guys all have to keep this to yourself and don't tell anyone!"

The reason so many soldiers from the Yan Dynasty were dispatched here was all thanks to the nobles.

They have money, food, and a large population.

Just like the nobles of the third rank and above who came to Daqian this time, they were strong supporters of this war.

More than 60% of the supplies and weapons came from their support.

If too many people die here, it will cause them panic.

These nobles are likely to withdraw and no longer interfere in this war.

In that case, Yan Guangshou would become a commander without troops and would be unable to continue fighting.

"Understood, General!"

Several people looked at each other and nodded firmly.

After arranging everything, Yan Guangshou pulled up the curtains and sat in the slightly bumpy carriage, his face full of fatigue.

During this period, he not only had to arrange the soldiers to deploy troops on the front line, but also had to deal with these trivial matters. This made him feel haggard. Whenever he had free time, he would close his eyes to rest and recover his strength.

Just then, bang!

From the distant city wall, a loud explosion was heard from far away.

The next moment, Yan Guangshou's carriage was suddenly hit by a huge force.

Wood chips flew around, and a hole as big as a bowl appeared on it.

Yan Guangshou's left shoulder was covered in blood.

"There is an enemy attack!"

Thousands of guards around the palace responded!

The severe pain made Yan Guangshou's lips turn pale and his whole body tremble.

But he gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, and stared deeply at the direction where the bullet came from in the distance.

"Sniper rifle, northwest high-rise building!"

As he finished speaking, dozens of guards around him immediately looked towards the teahouse in the distance.

I saw a handsome young man in a gray robe holding a sniper rifle standing in front of the fourth-floor window of a restaurant.

“Qin Ming…!”

Some people can be identified at a glance.

People like Qin Ming are the kind of characters whose extraordinary demeanor can be sensed just by looking at them.

Yan Guangshou endured the severe pain and said to his men:

"Don't worry about me! Go catch him, don't let him get away!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of guards immediately rushed towards the teahouse.

The sound of the sniper rifle could be heard from far away, and even Emperor Qian, who was in the palace, could vaguely hear it.

Just as he was wondering, Wang Bao had already rushed into the hall in a hurry.

"Your Majesty! The traitor Qin Ming has entered the capital!"

"What! How is this possible!"

Emperor Qian was so frightened that he trembled all over, but suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He found that the moment he heard the news that Qin Ming had arrived in Beijing, he subconsciously felt fear, instead of killing him as his first thought!

This made him extremely ashamed and angry!

When did I, the great emperor of Daqian, end up in such a situation?

Emperor Qian clenched his fists, and then a surge of anger surged in his heart.

"Seal off the capital and kill him! Kill him for sure!!"

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, Wang Bao immediately led all the guards in the imperial city out.

Soon, the teahouse where Qin Ming was was surrounded by people.

Because they were in a busy city, they were holding cold weapons in their hands. At this moment, everyone was holding knives and weapons, staring at the teahouse with a fierce look.

At this time, a figure emerged from the window on the fourth floor of the restaurant.

"Everyone, when will this prince return to the capital to have such a grand ceremony?"

Seeing the gray robe, Wang Bao shouted:

"You traitor, you still have the guts to come back? You can't escape today!"

"Even if I cut you into pieces, it would not be enough to appease His Majesty's wrath. You, the villain who is trying to split the Great Qian, will be forever nailed to the Great Qian's pillar of shame!"

The person upstairs smiled and asked:

"That person in the palace doesn't dare to speak out himself, but only dares to let a scoundrel like you come and make trouble?"

"Your Majesty is worth a ton of gold, why would I bother arguing with you? Who do you think you are!?"

"No problem. If you don't dare come, my Majesty will go find him himself."

The voice upstairs seemed to be suppressing a laugh.

Hearing his voice, Wang Bao suddenly realized something was wrong.

"You are... Changbaishan?!"
