Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming saw the description of himself in the newspaper, which was full of all kinds of adjectives.

And they are all positive.

The entire article is a eulogy for Qin Ming.

Such newspapers would praise Qin Ming from time to time.

No wonder many people began to admire Qin Ming.

Song Dingsheng said to Qin Ming confidently:

"Your Majesty, what I wrote is also true."

Thinking of this, Qin Ming also sighed slowly.

"You don't have to report on me all day. Instead, promote some emerging technologies."

There are many craftsmen in the workshop researching new technologies all day long.

But many people are not aware of these technologies.

If these technologies are promoted through newspapers.

By then, the people will definitely be able to get a lot of information from it and try to get in touch with some new technologies.

This is a good thing.

"Okay then. By the way, Your Majesty, I recently received news that people from the Shenmu Kingdom are almost here, probably in a few days."

"There are also ships coming from overseas and entering our port again, and the Yan Dynasty princess has also come with her."

"Oh?"

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows.

Yan Chao had just made a move from behind when he didn't expect Yan Ziqiong to come.

"You deal with them. I need to go to the port."

Qin Ming waved his hand and simply gave up the welcome ceremony.

He was not a person who liked big scenes, and the situation in Yan Dynasty made him even more concerned.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming quickly left this place and came to the canal port in the capital.

Yan Ziqiong has been importing goods here for two days. She stayed here these days just to allow the port workers to load all kinds of items onto the ship.

"You're here? Congratulations on defeating the northern tribes."

Yan Ziqiong was a little surprised to see Qin Ming coming back, but she quickly reacted and congratulated him.

"I am busy."

Qin Ming frowned and stared at Yan Ziqiong carefully, as if trying to find some clues from her face.

Yan Ziqiong was a little confused.

"What could be so great that the first thing you would do after returning from your army's victory would be to look for me?

"...Is it about the Yan Dynasty?"

Qin Ming nodded slowly.

"bring it on."

Yan Ziqiong pointed to the cabin.

There is the room where Yan Ziqiong lived on the boat when she came here.

Qin Ming followed Yan Ziqiong into the room, and suddenly a faint fragrance lingered around his nose.

This is the fragrance on Yan Ziqiong's body.

"Please sit down. You are the first man in the entire Yan Dynasty to enter my room."

Yan Ziqiong personally poured a cup of tea for Qin Ming, and then sat opposite Qin Ming.

Qin Ming was not vague and directly told Yan Ziqiong about Yan Dynasty's assistance to the northern tribes.

Yan Ziqiong was slightly stunned when she learned what had happened, but she quickly thought of a possibility.

"It could be Yan Zheng. He's currently at the peak of his powers, and with the support of the royal family, he's constantly recruiting troops. There's a huge gap between us now, and the only one I can rely on is you, Daqian."

"Even with Daqian's support, the gap between you is still so big?"

If this is true, Qin Ming will doubt Yan Ziqiong's ability.

As if she understood the meaning of Qin Ming's words, Yan Ziqiong immediately explained:

"The royal family has built several arsenals within his territory."

"If I wanted to build an arsenal in the territory with my own abilities, it would probably take several years. That's why I said the gap between him and me would only grow larger."

"You don't need to build it. Daqian will provide it. But I need you to confirm whether it was Yan Zheng who gathered the remnants of the northern tribes."

Qin Ming's productivity is enough to take care of Yan Ziqiong.

Even if she wants to build an arsenal, it doesn't matter.

But the traces of the northern tribes must always be determined.

"By the way, are Xiao Tianzhu and Wanyan Tielu also under Yan Zheng's command?"

Qin Ming remembered that his two old acquaintances disappeared in the middle and late stages of the Yan Dynasty War.

According to the information obtained by the secret guards at the time, they seemed to have followed the third prince.

"Yes."

"Kill them if you have the chance."

"This may be difficult. They are now popular figures around the Third Prince, and even the top members of the royal family value them very much."

Yan Ziqiong's face showed a somewhat embarrassed look.

"What are their achievements?"

"Xiao Tianzhu provided all of the Xiao family's gunpowder technology to the royal family."

The Xiao family developed gunpowder technology very early. They had started paying attention to this technology since they were forced to retreat by Qin Ming and left Jiangnan.

After the entire clan moved to Yan Dynasty, they were the first to learn the firearms technology.

Since the end of the war with Qin Ming, the top leaders of the Yan Dynasty have understood the importance of technology.

Therefore, they attached great importance to the technology left by the Xiao family, and even wanted Xiao Tianzhu to try to conduct in-depth research.

This also indirectly increased the status of the third prince Yan Zheng.

"Just show weakness. If they really dare to touch you, you'll rebel."

"Inverted?"

"Well, I will help you ascend to the throne. After all, the Yan Dynasty is not a monolithic entity. After you ascend to the throne, you can control the royal territory with peace of mind. It would not be a bad idea to become an empress. What do you think?"

Qin Ming suddenly changed the subject and began to ask Yan Ziqiong questions.

"This one……"

Yan Ziqiong was a little hesitant.

She didn't want this to happen. If she really rebelled, the Four Pillars of the State would lose contact with her.

By then, she will be confined to a corner, only able to control the royal territory in the central part of the continent, and may even become a puppet.

"You want to divide us."

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Ziqiong suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Ming, with a hint of anger in her cold eyes.

Qin Ming nodded as a matter of course.

"As the saying goes, in the world, things that are long separated will eventually come together, and things that are long together will eventually separate."

"The Yan Dynasty is not a monolithic entity, so how can we talk about division? However, if you can occupy your own territory, I can help you become the empress for a long time."

"Hmph, let's talk about it later."

Yan Ziqiong didn't want to go into this issue too deeply.

"I'll help you find the whereabouts of the northern tribes. You can handle the Xiao family's affairs yourself. You can let the Wu family or the Yun family do it."

"can."

Qin Ming nodded slowly, agreeing to Yan Ziqiong's proposal.

However, after the two of them had agreed on everything, neither of them left.

Although it was noon, the sun outside did not shine much into the cabin.

This made the environment they were in seem a little dim.

Yan Ziqiong's icy gaze gradually melted, and she suddenly said:

"I'm coming to Daqian this time, but I might not come again in the next few months. The royal family is keeping a close eye on me."

"Well, it's not easy to come here once."

Qin Ming nodded seriously, then placed his hand on Yan Ziqiong's little hand.

Cool, soft, delicate and smooth.

Qin Ming turned around, closed the door, and gently picked up the girl by the waist.

Amidst the clamor outside, the two men drew the silk curtain on the door and sat on either side of the bed tacitly.
