Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Because the countries along the outside shipping routes have a huge demand gap for all kinds of goods provided by Qin Ming.

When Qin Ming came this time, he also brought dozens of large ships with him.

Let them load up their goods and trade along the routes.

This caused his progress to slow down, and he had not yet reached Yan Dynasty after almost ten days.

"Then I will send the message to General Cao right now."

Cao Chuan and his men would definitely not rashly contact the Yun family without Qin Ming's order.

Soon, Qin Ming's information was delivered to the military camp on the west coast.

Cao Chuan found Ye Shoujiang.

"General Ye, His Majesty said to wait until he finishes delivering the goods before we talk. What do you think?"

"No problem. Your Majesty probably wants to see how stable he is during trade."

Ye Shoujiang quickly guessed Qin Ming's intention.

After all, this was the first time to trade, passing through Yan Dynasty and some chaotic sea areas.

This was an experience they had never had before.

To be on the safe side, we need to take this opportunity to travel the route a few more times.

After ascertaining the danger, relying on his familiarity with this sea area, he went to negotiate with the big families of the Yan Dynasty.

"I see. Then I'll delay the Yun family for a few days."

After Cao Chuan knew Qin Ming's intention, he began to play along with the Yun family.

At the point where negotiations were about to begin, neither side had any intention of starting another war.

The Yun family even began to transfer all the injuries on the front battlefield to the rear.

This also left some gaps in their front line.

But the Yun family is not worried.

They still have several key shipping routes that have not been completely plundered, and they still have the capital to negotiate with Qin Ming.

I am confident that Qin Ming will not touch them in the short term.

Similar to them, the Wu family on the east coast is in the same situation.

Chenpi and Changbaishan, who had already arrived, finally had some leisure time to cultivate the local land.

With the blessing of the Yan Dynasty's powerful land, the crops in these cultivated lands grew well.

At this rate, it is estimated that a large number of crops will be harvested within a few months.

Of course, while doing all this, the Wu family and the Yun family remained silent.

They still claimed to the outside world that they were confronting Qin Ming's Daqian troops from a distance!

But the Ouyang family, which was sandwiched between them, had already sensed the unusual movement.

Therefore, they sent envoys to visit Guiyun Villa and Tianwu City one after another.

But visiting at this time is really a bit deliberate.

The Wu and Yun families didn't even need to guess to know what they meant.

"You didn't send troops before, but now you come here to plead for information?"

"Do you really think we will tell the Ouyang family?!"

"Let them go!"

After receiving this news, Wu Wenzhou angrily scolded them and told them all to leave.

Seeing this, the Wu family found an excuse and quickly sent the Ouyang family's envoy away.

As for the Yun family, although they have not received a response since they made the decision to join Daqian, they are very confident in their own resources.

He has already considered himself an ally of half of Daqian.

In response to the Ouyang family's visit, the head of the family, Yun Yuanhai, called the third son, Yun Wenxun, to his side.

"Go entertain the Ouyang family and tell them that the Yun family is gathering troops and vowing to resist the Daqian invasion!"

"Brother, this..."

Yun Wenxun's heart sank.

It seems that the eldest brother still remembers clearly the loss he suffered last time.

This time, they even want to push the Ouyang family into the fire pit.

After releasing this news, if the Ouyang family takes it seriously, they will really make special deployments against the Daqian troops.

When Qin Ming arrives, the first family he will deal with will be the Ouyang family!

This can be regarded as revenge for the fact that the Ouyang family did not contribute in the bloody battle against Daqian!

It seemed that he noticed Yun Wenxun's hesitation.

Yun Yuanhai whispered:

"Third brother, I won't discuss anything else for now. Just think about this: if Qin Ming and I join forces, who will be the first to pose a threat to us?"

"I don't think it's the Yan royal family, right?"

Yun Yuanhai's meaning was very direct.

As long as the Ouyang family does not agree to make peace with Qin Ming, they will become the enemy of the Yun family and Daqian.

It would be better to just throw this conflict to Qin Ming at this time.

Let Qin Ming deal with it, killing two birds with one stone.

"I see."

In this way, the envoy of the Ouyang family was turned away, and then received wrong information from the Yun family.

Then he returned to the Ouyang family and told the head of the family, Ouyang Lie, about the matter.

"Did the Yun family really say that?"

"Those bastards of the Wu family deserve to be beaten to death by Daqian! Destroyed!"

Ouyang Lie has a headache now.

Ever since the double-front defeat, he has been feeling very uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

The nobles at all levels below would report to him from time to time, saying that they were harassed by Qin Ming's troops.

But Ouyang Lie didn't know what the two neighboring families were thinking.

I didn't dare to do it myself.

In this dilemma, Ouyang Lie tossed and turned and couldn't sleep all night.

Just when I was feeling anxious, the Wu family acted like I owed them a lot of money.

Ouyang Lie couldn't bear it anymore.

"Let the Wu family's despicable, shameless, and petty-minded father and son enjoy their little piece of land!"

"Order the three armies to form a front line and defend with all their might."

He decided to make the same choice as the Yun family.

Resist Qin Ming!

This way, at least I can give an explanation to the Yan royal family, and I won't be embarrassed when facing them in the future if I do things this way.

"Yes!"

Soon, the Ouyang family's troops began to attack on all fronts and guarded some important positions along the southern coast.

But they behaved very restrainedly.

When the merchant ships of Daqian passed by, no attack was launched.

Ouyang Lie’s idea was very clear: defend rather than attack.

It is enough to neither cause trouble nor be afraid of trouble.

As for the trade disputes outside the Yan Dynasty, the Yan royal family in the central part of the country has not said a word so far.

If you stick your head in and try to take charge of other people's affairs, you will only make things difficult for yourself.

As a result, the entire Yan Dynasty, from east to west including the southern coastal areas, fell into a delicate balance.

After the Wu family learned that the Ouyang family had mobilized troops.

Wu Wenzhou, who was woken up in the middle of the night, smashed the teacup in his hand in anger.

"Are these bastards from the Ouyang family crazy?"

"At a time like this, they actually sent troops to obstruct and block his territory from trade. It's one thing to say, but isn't he dragging the Wu family on the west coast into this mess again?"

The Daqian caravan wants to pass by.

According to the existing route, it is necessary to enter from the east coast first, then cross the southern open sea, and finally pass through the Wu family's territory.

But the Ouyang family blocked the way, which made it very likely that the caravan would have no chance to reach Wu Wenzhou.

Originally, he wanted to negotiate with Qin Ming, and he had made up his mind to keep silent when Qin Ming came over.

Just let it go and leave a good impression on the other person.

But now there is no chance to show goodwill!
