Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 729: News of the Rout, Fear in the Court

With every heavy sound, the city walls shook.

These vibrations will cause the cracks to spread rapidly.

Soon the city wall was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

boom!

Followed by a loud explosion.

The originally indestructible city wall suddenly collapsed at this moment.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

They didn't know what to do next.

Originally, with the help of this city wall, they could barely fight against Daqian's troops.

At least they can be prevented from entering the territory of the royal high-ranking officials.

But if the city wall collapses and there is nothing to rely on, what should they do?

Their individual combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Daqian troops.

Plus the impact of weapons.

It is hard to say whether they can defeat each other now.

"go!"

Zuo Hu made a prompt decision and waited for the people to leave before witnessing the enemy's true strength.

He no longer had the desire to fight.

If they continue fighting like this, the only consequence will be that all their troops will be lost here.

And that makes no sense, they should have more places and uses.

Thinking of this, Zuo Hu decided not to waste any more time and turned around to escape.

Seeing Zuo Hu running away in a flash, Liu Chuang was immediately furious and started yelling and cursing at him.

"Zuo Hu, you bastard, why did you run away? Come and fight me!"

Seeing that the other party was running farther and farther away, Liu Chuang was about to rush up, but at this time Ye Shoujiang, Chang Baishan and others had arrived beside him and pressed him in place.

"The overall situation is important. Don't act on impulse here."

"Yes, Lao Liu, we have defeated the enemy and regained our ground."

After hearing their advice, Liu Chuang finally stopped chasing.

They quickly gathered their troops and occupied the collapsed city.

"What should we do next? Should we return to His Majesty first?"

Liu Chuang, who had just settled down, started asking Ye Shoujiang questions.

Ye Shoujiang is the most senior person present, so everyone around him will listen to his advice when they encounter problems.

"Let's just charge in. We'll meet up with His Majesty in the territory of the royal high-ranking officials."

In the Yan Dynasty, the territories were interconnected.

Outside the area controlled by the royal family are the four major families.

Further in are the territories controlled by the nobles under the various royal families.

Further inwards is the fiefdom of the princes and princesses.

Finally, it was the turn of the royal family's high-ranking officials to obtain fiefs.

This is also the most core area of ​​the entire dynasty, and Qin Ming and his men had never been able to break in before.

But now they have every chance to get in!

It is more labor-saving to merge from the inner circle than from the outer circle, and the travel time will also be reduced.

"But His Majesty has too few people on his side, only a few tens of thousands of troops. Shouldn't we go and help?"

Hearing this, Wu Qingye on the side suddenly hesitated.

When he and Chang Baishan left, they took most of Qin Ming's troops with them.

If I don't go back now, Qin Ming will definitely have a hard time, and it would be bad if something dangerous happens.

"Then let me ask."

Chang Baishan was going to have his men send a message to Qin Ming.

See if he needs support.

If support is not needed, the army will not have to move unnecessarily.

Just as they were discussing, a voice came from outside.

"His Majesty has ordered that you all begin the attack today."

"Don't you have to go back?"

After hearing these words, he was stunned for a moment. It seems that Qin Ming is really good at predicting things.

It was already known, and they would probably ask about it after the battle.

When they heard these things, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately prepared to lead the troops forward.

On the other side, with Zuo Hu's defeat, Lu San died.

The news soon reached the court.

The hearts of Emperor Yan and all his officials were shrouded in a gloom.

Originally they thought they could drive Qin Ming out with their own strength.

Even if the territories of several other big families fell into Qin Ming's hands, they did not feel sorry at all.

But now it seems that things are much more serious than they imagined.

No one could stop him at all.

The other party can take down some of the big families around.

We can do the same thing and take down all the high-ranking royal officials in the imperial city.

So their struggles are of little use at this time.

"My dear ministers, Qin Ming is about to attack us. What should we do?"

When attending court that day, Emperor Yan told everyone the news directly without any hesitation.

After learning that the front lines had suffered successive defeats and even Zuo Hu couldn't stop them.

All the officials present looked very unhappy.

Some people are so angry that they have even started to seek medical help from all directions.

"This Yan Ziqiong is truly a traitor! Your Majesty, let's issue an imperial edict now. We must put this traitor Yan Ziqiong under control and let everyone in the world see her true face!"

"What's the point of issuing an imperial edict? I think it would be better to just strip Yan Ziqiong of her royal status!"

……

Everyone was talking at once, and although they were all offering advice, no one could hit the point, and the advice they offered was useless.

Listening to their words, Emperor Yan's expression became increasingly ugly.

Then he turned his attention to several senior royal officials, wanting to hear what they had to say.

But at this time, even several very active royal high-ranking officials did not know what to do.

"Your Majesty, why don't we contact Qin Ming first and see if we can negotiate?"

At this time, Yan Renshou, who was in charge of the General Affairs Department, suddenly spoke.

As he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became silent, and everyone looked at Emperor Yan with anticipation.

To be honest, they all want peace talks.

If they could negotiate, it would only sacrifice the interests of the entire dynasty, but their own interests would not be sacrificed.

Those who should be in high positions will still be in high positions.

Even though the entire dynasty encountered such great turmoil, they could still stand at the top.

Who wouldn’t want that?

Looking at their expressions, Emperor Yan knew that peace talks were inevitable.

After sighing, he slowly looked at Yan Renshou.

"Go ahead."

"I……?"

Yan Renshou hesitated for a moment.

This is a place for peace talks, and there is already a lot of hatred accumulated between the two sides. What should I do if my safety cannot be guaranteed after I go there?

You have to know that you are a high-ranking member of the royal family. It took countless years and generations of effort to finally reach this position...

Life is naturally more precious than anyone else.

But this peace talk is of great significance.

The Emperor of Yan couldn't go in person, so he could only arrange for someone of status to go.

Yan Renshou, who is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, is the best choice.

Before he could even explain.

Xue Taiping from the Land Administration immediately led his men to kneel down and shout.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Yan Renshou, who was being held up, suddenly felt his scalp tingling. He turned around angrily and glared at Xue Taiping.

The other party pretended not to see it, lowered his head and shouted "Long live".
