Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After Qin Ming temporarily solved the problem of the Qintiansi at a heavy price.

Prince Taiping in the princess's mansion was still looking forward to it.

He has been waiting for a long time.

Someone from the court finally arrived.

Ever since he heard the sounds of fighting outside, he felt that it was time for him to go out today.

But for some reason, after waiting for a long time.

The sounds of fighting outside suddenly disappeared.

Not only did they disappear, but none of his men from the Imperial Astronomical Bureau came in.

A bad premonition came to mind.

King Taiping couldn't believe it.

Could it be that the Imperial Astronomical Office failed?

how can that be!

With the abilities of Tianshu and Xuanxiao alone, they can protect themselves among thousands of troops.

It's hard to imagine what kind of threats they faced outside.

Did Qin Ming use large-scale lethal firearms in the capital?

No, this is absolutely impossible.

There was a squeak.

Just when King Taiping was daydreaming.

Qin Ming brought Prince Taiping and Ning Shuang back to the yard and opened his door.

“Is this Tianshu?”

Qin Ming pulled the tied-up Tianshu in and called for King Taiping to come over and identify him.

"you you……"

King Taiping fantasized about many scenarios, but none of them included Tianshu being captured alive.

"You only have one chief missing."

"Now I give you a choice. Write a letter and I will send you back after the war is over."

"Or if I don't write, I don't know when I can go back."

Qin Ming spoke calmly and put forward his request.

King Taiping's greatest reliance is now almost non-existent.

If he was willing to write that letter and identify his nephew.

Yan Zheng’s position will be lost.

What King Taiping said before was very correct.

He always stands on the side of the court.

Therefore, they will make the best choice on behalf of the court.

If he wrote back, he would not give Yan Zheng a choice.

That means telling the court that there will be no need to give Yan Zheng any more opportunities in the future.

The attitude of King Taiping, who is also at the front line, is now fatal to the Yan army.

"..."

Qin Ming's request silenced King Taiping.

He knew what would greet King Taiping after he wrote this letter.

In the future, even if he captured cities and territories on the front line, he wanted to redeem himself by gaining merit and getting closer to the court.

There is absolutely no way the top royal family would give him a chance.

But the situation was stronger than the person, and Qin Ming had already crippled the Qintiansi.

If I continue to insist, I will most likely die here.

He lost the Tiger Roar Guards and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"I'll write it, but the events on the battlefield need to be embellished. I wonder if you're okay with that?"

"That's your uncle and nephew's business. I don't care."

Qin Ming smiled and nodded as a matter of course.

In the Battle of Huangpo Mountain, King Taiping also made many mistakes.

As Yan Zheng's monitor, he was derelict in his duty.

But if you write a letter in advance and send it to the court.

He could then whitewash himself and put all the blame on Yan Zheng, the abandoned son.

Just now he was not thinking about whether to agree to Qin Ming, but about how he should shirk responsibility.

Now that you have thought it through, you can agree and start writing.

"Get a pen and paper."

As Qin Ming's order was issued.

After getting paper and pen, Prince Taiping began to write a letter to his elder brother in a very eloquent manner.

The literary talent he had accumulated over many years of reading helped him to portray Yan Zheng in the letter as a treacherous and profit-driven villain.

All the blame for the crimes on the battlefield was placed on Yan Zheng.

Including the losses of the Imperial Astronomical Office.

All of this was seen by Tianshu who was tied up next to him.

King Taiping, who was in charge of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, had already surrendered, and Tianshu's mentality had also been affected to a certain extent.

Fortunately, King Taiping knew what his base was.

After writing the letter, he turned his attention to Tianshu.

"Your Majesty, I have done a lot for you. Can you please let her go? I can guarantee that the Imperial Astronomical Department will not take action again."

Whenever he met Qin Ming in the past, he would call him by his name.

Only after you have lost all your cards do you start using names.

"can."

Unexpectedly, Qin Ming agreed to his request very quickly.

But then he changed the subject and said:

"But not yet. If you can promise me on her behalf and answer three questions, I will grant you preferential treatment."

"Three... questions?"

Prince Taiping's expression turned somewhat ugly.

No matter what I did for Qin Ming.

His position towards the Yan Dynasty has always remained unchanged, and he has always stood on the side of the Yan Dynasty.

Tianshu knows too many secrets of this dynasty.

If he answered Qin Ming's three questions casually, he would probably reveal many secrets of the court.

Qin Ming had expected them to do this.

However, it was impossible for him to pry open the mouth of Tianshu, who had received professional training.

Therefore, the only one who could speak was Prince Taiping, who was in charge of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

Only then will Tianshu tell himself.

"How about this, I'll tell you all three of my questions, and you can decide whether you can answer them. If you can't, we can move on to other questions."

Qin Ming spoke with a smile.

But what he said made King Taiping feel even more confused.

He exchanged glances with Tianshu who was lying on the ground.

Tianshu nodded imperceptibly.

"If it doesn't embarrass me, I can tell you."

"Okay, my first question is, how did Xuan Xiao escape?"

Qin Ming nodded and asked.

He can still deal with Tianshu.

But people like Xuan Xiao who hide in the dark are very dangerous.

The key is that he is still very close to me.

Once he has recovered his injuries and regained his strength, he can disguise himself and sneak into the army, and Qin Ming is likely to be captured by him.

"What did you do to escape?"

Prince Taiping spoke in surprise.

Qin Ming recounted the scene at that time.

After hearing this, King Taiping came to Tianshu.

"what are you doing?"

Several guards around him immediately stopped him at the outermost edge to prevent him from doing anything threatening.

"I need to discuss this with her."

King Taiping looked at Qin Ming.

"Just don't untie it."

Qin Ming nodded.

Soon, King Taiping exchanged a few words with Tianshu in a low voice.

Tianshu said to Qin Ming:

"In addition to disguise, Xuan Xiao also has another skill, which is earth escape. You should have seen his hands."

"I suspect he hid under the soil and avoided your attack."

Qin Ming frowned.

"Earth escape... is it just digging a hole and burying yourself in it?"

"You can understand it this way. The area where he was must have soft soil. Mixed in with the crowd, he only needed a few breaths to dig a hole with his bare hands."

"By blending in with your shell craters and using a specific breathing technique to remain motionless, it's possible to evade your detection."

"Such a miraculous method actually exists in this world."

Qin Ming nodded with satisfaction.

He asked Ning Shuang to stay here to watch over Tianshu, and then ordered Chang Baishan to go again.

Fortunately, they did not give up and chose to block off the entire area.

It is estimated that Xuan Xiao, who was seriously injured, has not left yet.

"If you can catch him, I will take care of all your problems."

Qin Ming promised the two of them.
