Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 374: Burning the Imperial Study and Retreating Calmly

There are eight thousand imperial guards inside the palace walls. Now, nearly 70% of them have been transferred to hunt down Qin Ming outside the palace.

But no one expected that Qin Ming would swagger into the palace at this time.

In the imperial study, there was no one beside Emperor Qian, and he was alone looking through the battle situation presented to him.

Although he was flipping through the pages of the book, his mind was not on it at all and his thoughts were in a mess.

Feeling upset, he pushed the file aside impatiently and looked out the door.

"Somebody come!"

If it were an ordinary time, following Emperor Qian's shouting, Wang Bao would soon come forward.

At the very least, a few guards would come and ask what was going on.

But today, after Emperor Qian shouted, he waited for a few breaths before a figure finally entered the imperial study.

"Could it be that Father wants to ask them if I've been captured?"

Qin Ming stood in front of the door, looking at Emperor Qian quietly.

After not seeing each other for many days, when I saw Emperor Qian again, he seemed like a different person.

He has a gloomy temperament, sunken eye sockets and a stiff look in his eyes.

If you see it in an ordinary busy city, many people would probably find it difficult to associate it with the identity of an emperor.

"you……!"

Emperor Qian was shocked and quickly stood up, drew the sword from his waist, and looked alert.

Qin Ming smiled and suddenly asked:

"Where's that demon concubine? I searched the palace for a while, but I didn't see her."

"Could it be that Father, because she has lost her beauty and mind, he has given up on her?"

Qin Ming's words were powerful. Just two simple sentences made Emperor Qian furious.

"Shut up! What does how I treat Concubine Xiao Shufei have to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter. The reason I came here today is simply to kill you."

Qin Ming spoke lightly, then pulled out the shotgun from behind him.

Many people believe that the many ills of the Northern Dynasties were caused by Concubine Xiao Shufei.

But if there was no support from Emperor Qian, how could Concubine Xiao Shu, a mere woman, stir up trouble for so many years without any consequences?

Emperor Qian snorted coldly, his tone revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"Just because you are such a rebellious son, you want to kill me?"

boom!

He smashed the wooden box in front of him with one slap.

As the contents inside were revealed, a negative line suddenly appeared in front of Qin Ming.

After it burned at an extremely fast speed, Qin Ming saw a wisp of smoke rising from above the imperial study.

This was a mechanism that Emperor Qian had set up in places where he often stayed in order to ensure his own safety.

As the fuse is lit, the beacon will attract all the soldiers in the palace to come to support.

Qin Ming shook his head slowly and pulled the trigger directly.

As long as Emperor Qian died, there would be no need for the Northern Dynasty to resist.

But Qin Ming still underestimated Emperor Qian.

The moment he released the beacon, the bookshelf beside him suddenly collapsed.

At the same time, several steel plates blocked his way directly, protecting every part of his body tightly.

"Is this something you prepared in advance to stop me?"

As the sound of clanging was heard, all the ammunition Qin Ming had fired fell to the ground.

Qin Ming spoke lightly to Emperor Qian behind the steel plate.

This guy is really scared to death, even arranging such thorough defense facilities in the imperial study.

"You can't get away today!"

Emperor Qian's resentful voice came from behind.

But he didn't dare show his head.

Qin Ming slowly shook his head and said:

"Most of the palace soldiers have been mobilized. Since I can't assassinate you today, I will personally lead the troops in a few days."

"But...are all these mechanisms of yours meant to protect me?"

The question Qin Ming suddenly asked made Emperor Qian unable to respond for a while.

He couldn't bring himself to do it.

Because these mechanisms were indeed used to defend against Qin Ming, ever since Qin Ming entered the capital and disciplined Concubine Xiao Shufei.

Emperor Qian discovered that Qin Ming could come and go freely in the capital.

Then an uncontrollable fear arose in his heart.

He was worried that one day, Qin Ming would treat Concubine Xiao the same way he did to her.

Suddenly broke into his own palace and started attacking.

Then how can I stop him?

Once this idea was born, it kept lingering in his mind.

In order to ensure his own safety, Emperor Qian specifically ordered craftsmen to install various mechanisms in every area where he frequently moved.

It's to protect your own safety.

But today he was almost caught by Qin Ming.

The assassination failed, Qin Ming turned around and left, but before leaving he set fire to the place.

"You bastard!"

Seeing Qin Ming being so ruthless and decisive, Emperor Qian immediately roared in anger.

But it was of no use, he could only watch Qin Ming leave.

Although the soldiers in the distance wanted to stop them, they had all heard of Qin Ming's bad reputation.

At this moment, no one dared to step forward...

In addition, Qin Ming's methods were extremely terrifying. Anyone who approached him would be killed with one shot from the shotgun.

Sometimes it will also affect the surrounding soldiers.

Zila Zila...

Soon the sound of burning flames attracted the attention of many people around to the situation in the imperial study.

"The fire is breaking! Save His Majesty!"

They had no time to deal with Qin Ming and hurried to find a source of water, pouring bucket after bucket of water into the imperial study.

The assassin of Emperor Qian was in a very miserable state, looking like a drowned rat.

On this day, Qin Ming entered the capital.

He burned down the imperial study, severely injured Yan Dynasty general Yan Guangshou, and left calmly.

Everyone in the capital was shocked.

The news quickly spread throughout the Northern Dynasties.

The people, who originally had little confidence in them, have now gathered in larger groups and are preparing to migrate towards the Southern Dynasty.

In a barren mountain outside the capital, Qin Ming looked at Chang Baishan, who was covered in wounds, and sighed helplessly.

"I told you not to fight with them, why did you have to?"

"I didn't like them very much. I thought killing a few of them wouldn't affect our retreat, but I didn't expect them to pester us."

Today, Chang Baishan violated Qin Ming's order and did not choose to escape directly after jumping from the restaurant.

He fought against the troops under Wang Bao.

In the end, they were entangled, and it was Liu Yueli, who had finished the battle with Yan Guangshou, who discovered him when she was retreating, and then she protected Chang Baishan and took him out together.

"How are you doing there?"

Qin Ming turned to look at Liu Yueli. Today they were facing Yan Guangshou's elite troops, so the pressure was quite high.

Liu Yueli took out a small porcelain bottle and said to Qin Mingxian with some pride:

"After I poisoned them, I killed all the guards. Yan Guangshou eventually abandoned them and escaped alone, but he was also poisoned. He will probably be in a coma for the next few days."

"If I had known earlier, I would have given them a stronger dose of medicine. This might have helped Your Majesty kill him directly."

During the battle, Liu Yueli used a poison produced in the workshop, called Special Effect Softening Powder.

It can make the opponent lose the ability to resist in a short period of time.

Hearing that both of them had completed their tasks, Qin Ming nodded and praised:

"You two did a great job, get ready to go back."

At this time Liu Yueli suddenly asked:

"Your Majesty, do you want me to go again?"
