Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Just follow me."

Mr. Bai turned sideways, raised his right hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

Qin Ming took Zhao San through the hall and entered a magnificent inner hall.

The place has long been filled with the best wine and food.

Sitting in the front row was an old man in a purple robe, and on the passenger seat to his right sat a guy Qin Ming was very familiar with.

"I see."

The person sitting here is Xiao Tianzhu.

No wonder Ji Yunfang was reluctant to meet me, it turned out that Xiao Tianzhu was also here.

It is indeed inappropriate for people from the Qin Dynasty and the Yan Dynasty to sit at the same table.

"Greetings, Your Majesty of Daqian. I am Ji Yunfang."

Seeing Qin Ming coming, the old man in purple robe immediately stood up and walked forward to greet him with great respect.

As a powerful force in the underworld, Tongtian Pavilion has been able to survive to this day, so naturally it has paid attention to many aspects.

For example, the etiquette in treating guests.

“Qin Ming…!”

The moment Xiao Tianzhu saw Qin Ming, hatred burst out from his chest, and even his voice became a little colder.

Although they are guests, there is a distinction between the main and the secondary among guests.

The guest seats in the Yan Dynasty were first on the left and then on the right.

Although they are all distinguished guests sitting next to the host, there are differences in their status.

For example, Xiao Tianzhu today, after arriving, thought that even if he could not sit on the same level as the other party, he could at least sit in the guest seat on the left.

But what he didn't expect was that Ji Yunfang only arranged him on the right side.

This made Xiao Tianzhu surprised.

When he saw Qin Ming coming, he knew the reason.

Qin Ming, the emperor... actually came in person!

This is enough to show the importance of Tsutenkaku!

In comparison, Yan Zheng was just a prince, but he was unwilling to come in person.

Only a small person, Xiao Tianzhu, was arranged to come and negotiate with Tongtian Pavilion.

If it were any other day, someone of Xiao Tianzhu's rank coming would already be enough of a courtesy.

But today is a major event that will determine the war between Yan Dynasty and China!

Qin Ming is standing here.

There is no need to say more about who is more sincere!

"General Xiao, His Majesty is also our honored guest. I hope you will give me some face and at least not take action within the Tongtian River."

Noticing Xiao Tianzhu's attitude, Ji Yunfang immediately reminded him.

This is also a preventive measure for him.

Since we are here to negotiate, please be calm and don't make a fuss.

If they really offend Tsutenkaku, they might surrender to the enemy.

Xiao Tianzhu was very cunning, and immediately said seriously:

"Of course. Our Highness said that Tsutenkaku is our most steadfast ally, and we must have a good talk with you."

Xiao Tianzhu smiled and said nothing.

The word "firmness" itself is nonsense.

Over the years, even if there has been some contact between the two sides, it has only been a matter of etiquette.

Xiao Tianzhu, on the other hand, wanted to tie him to Yan Zheng's chariot as soon as he opened his mouth.

This was so true that it was almost like throwing abacus beads at his face.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Mr. Bai saw that the atmosphere was so tense before the negotiations even started, so he immediately stepped out to smooth things over.

Qin Ming and Zhao San sat in the guest seat together and looked at Ji Yunfang.

"Pavilion Master Ji, we are not here to embarrass you."

"Why did your Majesty say this?"

Hearing this, Ji Yunfang suddenly felt a little strange.

Qin Ming said slowly:

"It's very simple. I hope that Tsutenkaku won't intervene this time, and neither side will need to help each other."

"Um!?"

Such a simple request left Ji Yunfang stunned.

Xiao Tianzhu's face suddenly turned ugly.

Qin Ming's move of retreating to advance almost put Yan Zheng's men on the fire!

They all thought that Qin Ming and Yan Zheng arranged the negotiations this time in order to win over Tongtian Pavilion.

Regardless of which side it joins, Tsutenkaku has already taken sides.

The end result may be being dragged into the war between two huge forces and becoming a victim.

Although their importance in the Battle of Huangpo Mountain is self-evident, their power is nothing compared to Qin Mingyan Zheng.

So Ji Yunfang made his choice very cautiously.

Originally, he was supposed to bear this heavy pressure.

Qin Ming suddenly jumped out and said that he didn't need to participate, and even watching from the sidelines and retaining his strength was completely acceptable.

What reason does Ji Yunfang have to continue?

"Pavilion Master Ji, don't listen to his words. He is a tyrant who has murdered countless soldiers of the Yan Dynasty!"

Xiao Tianzhu became a little anxious and even started personal attacks.

Qin Ming can choose not to accept the other party's help.

But Xiao Tianzhu couldn't.

They have always hoped that Tsutenkaku could help them.

However, Qin Ming directly withdrew from this round of competition.

It even put Yan Zheng and others into an unkind and unjust situation.

After sighing, he frowned and continued:

"No matter what, everything we do is for the Yan Dynasty. Pavilion Master, please don't forget your origins."

"Oh? Your Excellency, are you threatening me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Yunfang's face immediately became a little ugly.

He is not an easy person to talk to.

What’s more, he was threatening me face to face at the negotiating table.

They are the ones who ask for their own help first.

As the conversation went on, it turned into fulfilling one's obligations to the Yan Dynasty?

Are you really not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the strong wind?

"That was not what I meant."

Xiao Tianzhu seemed to realize the mistake in his words.

He was really anxious at this moment.

Unfortunately, Qin Ming and Ji Yun didn't give him a chance to speak.

Qin Ming said:

"As far as I know, the underworld forces in Yan Dynasty don't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, right?"

Ji Yunfang also slowly said:

"Your Majesty is right. We do not belong to the imperial court, and no one is qualified to dispatch us."

It has to be said that since Qin Ming revealed his attitude, Xiao Tianzhu no longer has much advantage.

Even Ji Yunfang didn't say much and went straight to Qin Ming's side.

This made Xiao Tianzhu feel that the situation seemed to be beyond his control.

Thinking of this, he could only increase the stakes again, hoping to win back Ji Yunfang's heart.

"Master Ji, you know I don't mean to offend you. I just think it's best for us to fight the foreign enemy together. There's a saying that goes, 'Those who are not of my kind must have different hearts.'"

There is nothing wrong with what he said.

But Ji Yunfang's mind was already on the conditions Qin Ming had just proposed.

"General Xiao, I will consider what you say."

At this time, Ji Yunfang gave a very official answer.

This answer made Xiao Tianzhu stunned.

The other party's behavior almost puts himself in the candidate list.

And his first choice, without a doubt, is Qin Ming!

"Alright, there's no need to discuss this matter. Just give Pavilion Master Ji some time to make his choice."

"I think we don't need to interfere. Let's all be fair and square, okay?"

Seeing that Xiao Tianzhu was at a disadvantage, Qin Ming immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued him.

After just a few words, Xiao Tianzhu's retreat was completely blocked.

This made Xiao Tianzhu extremely uncomfortable.

But there was nothing we could do.

At this moment, Mr. Bai, who had been watching the fire from the other side of the river, also spoke.

"Master, I think what His Majesty said makes a lot of sense!"
