Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After exchanging some feelings, Qin Ming suddenly discovered that Yan Ziqiong seemed to be more feminine than before.

It was as if the iceberg in many people's previous cognition had loosened unknowingly.

"looking at what?"

Yan Ziqiong hugged Qin Ming from behind, her soft body emitting hot body temperature.

Qin Ming smiled and shook his head, then suddenly asked:

"I've heard that the Yan Dynasty's Giant Elephant Army is incredibly powerful. I wonder if you have any way to restrain them."

When Qin Ming attacked the Yan Dynasty, Ye Shoujiang's troops were caught off guard by the giant elephant army.

Even if a huge chariot was placed in front of the colossus, it would not have much effect.

Faced with this question, Yan Ziqiong suddenly raised a bright smile at the corner of her mouth.

"This...I'll tell you next time I come."

After she finished speaking, she walked to the mirror, fixed her makeup, put on her coat, and left with a smile.

Qin Ming shook his head helplessly. It was really hard to guess what a woman was thinking.

He was sticking to me just now, but now he suddenly changed his temper.

When Qin Ming returned to the palace, he saw Liu Yueli waiting for him there, holding several red files in her hands.

This is our most advanced intelligence.

I think it must be that during the time when Qin Ming was away from the capital, the secret guards investigated several important matters that needed to be reported.

He waved his hand and asked Liu Yueli to follow him into the imperial study.

After closing the door, Qin Ming asked Liu Yueli:

"Is there anything urgent recently?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to our research, the Shenmu Kingdom is also very advanced in mechanical engineering. They can even use it to create some transportation tools similar to bicycles."

Qin Ming had heard from Song Dingsheng a long time ago that the Shenmu Dynasty seemed to have profound attainments in the art of mechanical engineering.

"Where are the weapons of war?"

Compared with ordinary mechanical technology, Qin Ming is more curious about how they apply it in war?

"That's not very clear. Our people only followed those messengers and observed part of the situation."

"Are they almost here?"

Qin Ming quickly grasped the meaning of Liu Yueli's words.

"Yes, we have already arrived in the Central Plains. We can take the train for a day or two and then reach the capital."

Liu Yueli nodded and said respectfully.

"Prepare a banquet to celebrate the great victory in the north with them."

"Isn't this a bit too disrespectful to them? According to our investigation, the leader of the Shenmu Kingdom this time seems to be their second prince."

"The Second Prince? Why is it another Second Prince?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly, thinking of Yan Wujiang, the second prince of the Yan Dynasty.

This guy caused a lot of trouble to the Daqian army.

"Is the Shenmu Kingdom similar to the Yan Dynasty, or is it similar to the Daqian Dynasty?"

"It should be more similar to Daqian. Their eldest prince died young, and the second prince who came this time is their heir to the throne."

"Primogeniture system..."

Qin Ming was a little alert.

People of this status who come here are likely to have the idea of ​​gilding themselves.

Could it be that he wanted to use this mission to conquer Daqian and add to the achievements of the Second Prince?

The arrogance of the Shenmu Kingdom may be beyond Qin Ming's imagination.

I just wonder what expression the second prince of the Shenmu Kingdom had when he learned that Qin Ming had defeated the northern tribes and even captured their envoys?

time flies.

At noon that day, Qin Ming arrived at their Jincheng Railway Station.

Song Dingsheng and several officials from the Ministry of Rites had already gathered here.

They all came with Qin Ming to welcome the envoys from the Shenmu Dynasty.

The other party has arranged for the crown prince to visit in person, so Qin Ming naturally cannot lose face.

As the hum of the train arrived, everyone looked up.

I saw a locomotive emitting white smoke slowly approaching from the distance.

It finally stopped in front of them, and a dozen people in cheongsams walked down from it.

The leader was a man about the same age as Qin Ming, with an imposing bearing and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

Just standing in front of everyone is already very imposing.

Of course, when facing a leader of a country like Qin Ming, even such a person's momentum was slightly weakened.

I guess this must be the second prince of Shenmu Kingdom.

Qin Ming walked forward with a smile and said:

"Everyone in Shenmu Kingdom has traveled a long way, it must be very hard."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately looked at the second prince of the fallen Shenmu Kingdom.

Qin Ming's behavior clearly showed the enthusiasm of a host welcoming a visit from a small country.

This is naturally contrary to the message that the Shenmu Kingdom had previously sent to Qin Ming.

You must know that when the Shenmu Kingdom sent a letter to Qin Ming, it said that it wanted Daqian to submit to the Shenmu Kingdom.

Now that they had just met, it was unclear whether Qin Ming's behavior was intentional or unintentional.

This immediately made the second prince, who was in the lead, frown.

No one wants to lose face when they first meet someone.

So he snorted coldly and said in a haughty tone:

"Haha, I'm Hua Yunhong, the second prince of the Shenmu Kingdom. I've long heard of the great reputation of the Emperor of Daqian and have long wanted to come and see him. Now that I see him, I'm sure he's truly extraordinary."

He spoke even more casually.

I have heard of your reputation for a long time and want to come and take a look. It’s like Daqian is their back garden, they can come whenever they want.

His attitude towards Qin Ming was even more outrageous, as if he was just looking down on the king of a vassal state.

"Your Excellency should have come and taken a look long ago."

Song Dingsheng, who was standing by, sneered and spoke as soon as he heard this.

He came to Daqian's territory and dared to offend like this. I really don't know what kind of courage he has.

Or how confident they are in their Shenmu Kingdom.

Qin Ming was well prepared for Hua Yunhong's provocation.

He just smiled faintly, then drove out and pointed in the direction of the palace.

"It just so happens that the imperial court is holding a banquet recently and would like to invite you all to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition tomorrow."

"When I learned that you were coming, I specifically asked them to postpone their arrival for a few days to wait for you all to come together. This is also a way to welcome the envoys and give you a warm welcome."

"By the way, I wonder if the Second Prince has heard about Daqian's victory in the Northern Expedition?"

Being asked so close to the emperor, the Second Prince immediately felt embarrassed.

On the way here, he had already learned the news from the overwhelming number of newspapers in Daqian.

Hua Yunhong, who originally wanted to use the northern tribe to advance Qin Ming, became extremely embarrassed at this time.

Just as Qin Ming guessed.

He originally came to Daqian to gild himself.

They were discussing how to get some benefits from Daqian and return to the court as their own achievements to consolidate their position as crown prince.

Now, my advantage has turned into a disadvantage.

He was also ridiculed by Qin Ming in both open and covert ways.

The defeat of the northern tribes left the Shenmu Dynasty with no bargaining chips left.

It also made Daqian's request to become a vassal state a joke!
