Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

On the second day after the two sides had agreed, the Wu family openly arranged a group of troops to come and hand over the territory to Qin Ming.

The two sides took the opportunity to exchange a batch of goods.

Qin Ming got 5,000 kilograms of seeds from the Wu family.

These are all grown locally.

After the planting is completed, the grain obtained will be sent to Daqian and some countries that are short of grain in exchange for resources.

Now money no longer means much to Qin Ming.

What is important is how to use technological advantages and their money to exchange for more resources.

This will make the construction and development of Daqian more convenient.

"That's about all, Your Majesty."

Wu Tianxing came to Qin Ming and prepared to leave with thousands of people and tens of thousands of carts full of things.

"By the way, I wonder if Master Wu can hand over Qin Yue?"

At this time, Qin Ming suddenly spoke up and stopped Wu Tianxing who was about to leave.

After hearing about Qin Yue's situation, Wu Tianxing was stunned for a moment.

Then he smiled bitterly.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, Qin Yue has actually been taken away by the Yan royal family."

"Ok?"

Qin Ming frowned immediately.

The Yun family had told him before that Qin Yue was in the hands of the Wu family.

Qin Ming had seen Qin Yue on the battlefield during the last war with the Wu family.

"You don't want to give it to me, do you? Don't forget that we are all in this together!"

Chang Baishan's face darkened, and he immediately followed up and questioned Wu Tianxing.

Wu Tianxing quickly shook his head and said:

"That's absolutely not the case. If you two don't believe me, you can go and ask."

“Ever since Qin Yue came here, he has been a hot potato wherever he goes, and no one wants to take it.”

"Even after he came to our Wu family, we found several positions for him, but he was not qualified for any of them. Even the concrete he promised to provide us was fake."

"We had no choice but to plant poison in him. We wanted to counterattack Daqian, but the vanguard troops were wiped out. In the end, we could only negotiate with His Majesty. Qin Yue is naturally of no use to us anymore."

"It just so happened that the royal family seemed very interested in the map of Daqian, so they arranged for someone to pick up Qin Yue."

The Yan royal family actually wanted to know the internal map of Daqian.

This move made Qin Ming and Chang Baishan a little worried.

“Since you knew you wanted to negotiate or even cooperate, why did you send Qin Yue over?”

"Isn't this laying a mine for Daqian?"

Chang Baishan was very angry.

Qin Yue is like a rat shit, which has no effect at all but can ruin countless good things.

His words made Wu Tianxing feel a little ashamed, and he said:

"I'm truly sorry, but you all know the situation in Yan Dynasty. The Wu family is already being watched by the royal family. We can't just turn against them just because of a little Qin Yue."

Qin Yue's existence is useless to the Wu family.

Since they can maintain superficial calm with the royal family, they won't say anything.

It's a good idea to throw this hot potato away, which will be good for everyone.

"Damn it, this is really unlucky."

Chang Baishan was still cursing.

Qin Ming pulled him from behind and said:

"Alright, now that it has happened, there's no need to blame the Wu family anymore."

"We'll handle this matter ourselves."

"It is true that the Wu family is sorry for you. We can give you an extra piece of information."

At this time, Wu Tianxing took the initiative to speak.

Qin Ming was surprised:

"Is there any other information that we don't know?"

"Of course there are. The Hong family may join forces with the Yan royal family. They are currently planning to contact the scattered tribes in the north of Daqian."

"The Snow Mountain Cavalry in the hands of the Hong family is extremely powerful in combat in cold regions."

Wu Tianxing's few words contained a huge amount of information.

Qin Ming and Chang Baishan were both dazed for a moment.

"Hasn't the northern tribe already left?"

Qin Ming clearly remembered that Daqian had stolen the method of making firearms from him when the previous emperor was still in power.

Then they defeated the northern tribes that had been entangled with them in one breath.

The other side suffered heavy losses and even left the area in order to survive.

This is how we started to build our own business outside the Great Wall.

"That's not the case. They just fled to a very cold place."

"Besides, Your Majesty cannot guarantee that the previous emperor could expel them all."

"From what I know, during the reign of the previous Emperor Daqian, the government was not well governed. Although they had many advanced weapons during the war, they often dealt with war missions in a hasty manner."

After Wu Tianxing's reminder, Qin Ming's heart sank.

If the generals of the previous dynasty had not wiped out those northern tribes, it is really possible!

"After the battle in which 300,000 vanguard troops were annihilated, even the royal family concluded that they could not defeat you in a frontal battle."

"So they set their sights on the extremely cold northern lands, landing from the side and equipping the northern tribes with firearms, relying on the cold climate and flexible mobility. Does Your Majesty still have the confidence to destroy them?"

After Wu finished speaking, he sighed.

When it comes to understanding Daqian, I'm afraid the Four Pillars of State are not enough.

The people who know Daqian best should be the royal family of the Yan Dynasty and Qin Yue under their command.

Just like the news that these northern tribes had not been completely wiped out, Qin Ming, who was in the south at the time, had absolutely no way of knowing it.

But even if it was not cleaned up, the late emperor still created an appearance of prosperity and peace.

Now the only one who knows this news is Qin Yue.

"Your Majesty, notify the court and have Wu Qingye, who is in charge of the northern construction corps, go to the harbor to secure its defenses now!"

Chang Baishan was a little anxious.

He was well aware of the strength of the northern tribes.

In his early years, he followed Qin Ming to suppress tribal invasions.

They are not very powerful, but they are extremely tough opponents.

Even Qin Ming failed to wipe them out completely back then.

"No, we don't have enough manpower and the area is too large."

Qin Ming slowly shook his head and rejected the proposal.

Even in the inland sea of ​​Daqian, there are places that Qin Ming's troops cannot explore.

Not to mention the offshore areas and even the Far North.

If the Yan Dynasty royal family arranged for the troops to land at any random location, Qin Ming and his men would need to spend several times or even dozens of times more manpower to find them.

This is such a waste of manpower and resources.

Therefore, they now have only one solution, which is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

If the northern tribes unite with the Yan Dynasty, coupled with the cold climate, the pressure on Daqian will be extremely enormous.

"This information should be enough to make up for my debt to you. I'll be leaving now."

Wu Tianxing said nothing more and turned to leave.

Faced with such a big thing, Qin Ming and Chang Baishan had no intention of calling for people to sow seeds.

He quickly returned to the camp and reported the news to the court.

Let Guan Yue and Chen Shimao start sending reinforcements to support the north now.
