Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"I'll leave the peace talks to you."

Emperor Yan had already made up his mind about this matter.

Telling Yan Guangshou now is just to inform him.

Seeing that he was being set up, Yan Guangshou could only sigh and take on the task reluctantly.

However, having been in the court for many years, he would not suffer this loss in vain. He turned around and looked at Xue Taiping.

"Master Xue, I may need to discuss terms with Qin Ming this time. This will inevitably involve a lot of land division. I wonder if you can go with me?"

Yan Guangshou is a narrow-minded person and just lets it go when he suffers a loss.

But it is easy to lose your life on such a dangerous journey.

Whoever recommends you to go will go with him.

Even if I die, I will take someone with me!

"Master Yan, you can't drag me along. I'm so small... I'll lose half my life if I go!"

After hearing what the other person said.

Xue Taiping's expression suddenly hardened.

He didn't expect that the other party would even pull him over to negotiate with Qin Ming. He quickly looked at Emperor Yan on the throne for help.

What he didn't expect was that after Emperor Yan glanced at the two of them with his cloudy eyes, he unexpectedly said:

"Let's go together."

The entire hall was silent.

Everyone shrank their necks when they heard this and praised Your Majesty for his wisdom.

Then they fell silent, each looking elsewhere.

No one dared to look at Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping, for fear that such trouble would happen to them.

It wouldn't be a big deal if I lost my life by then.

If there is no family member to inherit his position in the court, his family will definitely fall into decline.

It is obvious that no one is willing to step forward and take part in this matter.

All the burdens fell on Yan Guangshou and Xue Taiping.

After seeing this scene, Xue Taiping suddenly felt like the sky was falling.

Both of his legs began to tremble. Both Xue Taiping and Yan Guangshou had enjoyed good fortune in the court for many years.

The position he occupies is second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

I've never really been to the front lines.

But the Yan Dynasty was about to be destroyed, and even they had to be pushed out to negotiate with Qin Ming.

The thought of the Daqian troops being rumored to be horrible, with green faces and fangs, and killing people without blinking an eye is terrifying.

The two men felt that the journey was extremely dangerous and cold sweats broke out on their backs.

Because of the ongoing war, Qin Ming has been portrayed as a murderous evil spirit throughout the Yan Dynasty.

Two civil servants ran up to him and asked him to stop fighting. This was totally unacceptable.

What if Qin Ming killed them in anger?

Then they have nowhere to seek justice.

boom!

Yan Guangshou pushed the door open angrily and returned to his study after retiring from court.

He is now in a state of confusion.

"These bastards pushed me out at a time like this. What can I say to Qin Ming? Should I give him half of the empire?"

"Even if you give him half of the kingdom, Qin Ming may not want it. What he wants is the entire Yan Dynasty!"

Taking a few deep breaths, he forced himself to suppress his thoughts and quickly came up with a new idea.

"Forget it, let it be what it is. It has nothing to do with me anyway."

After snorting coldly, he threw the imperial transfer order aside and never thought about it again.

This time, if I can negotiate successfully, I will do so.

If we can't reach an agreement, then forget it.

Anyway, if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up.

He returned to his room and asked the housekeeper to call his newly married 23rd concubine to accompany him.

Yan Guangshou gave up his preparations for peace talks.

On the other hand, letters from the court were quickly delivered to the front line.

Faced with the situation of defeat, many lords who owned vast territories chose to flee with their property and families.

Qin Ming's troops did not stop at all. With only a few tens of thousands of people, they fought all the way to the outskirts of the imperial city.

At this moment, Chang Baishan and others had arrived here and quickly reunited with Qin Ming.

In addition to them, Cao Chuan's troops also arrived with people from the Wu family.

"His Majesty!"

As Qin Ming's troops entered the military camp, Qin Ming came to their general's tent. As soon as he came in, he saw that it was full of people.

Chang Baishan, Ye Shoujiang, Cao Chuan, Heifu, Liu Chuang, Wu Qingye, Wu Tianxing, Yun Wenxun.

Almost everyone has arrived here, and besides them, there are many unfamiliar faces.

“Who are these people…?”

Seeing Qin Ming coming over, Ye Shoujiang immediately stood up and explained to Qin Ming:

"Your Majesty, they all want to join us. After much investigation, I allowed them to bring their troops into our military camp."

"Nobles from all over the world?"

With a quick glance, Qin Ming quickly guessed their origins.

Chang Baishan nodded slightly.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to continue discussing.

Everyone knows why these people came. In fact, they were originally a big and unstable force.

The reason why he was willing to come here now was purely because Qin Ming was unstoppable on the battlefield and the situation was clearly leaning towards Daqian.

If Qin Ming was defeated by the Yan Dynasty soldiers in the early stage, they would follow the Yan Dynasty troops to attack Qin Ming together and win credit.

Aristocratic families like these have various ways to survive no matter what dynasty they are in.

Defending the country is not their goal.

Ensuring their survival is their top priority.

As for patriotism, they have none at all.

Even knowing this, Chang Baishan still accepted them.

Because from the current situation, these people will not pose a threat to Qin Ming.

There is a saying that goes, a gentleman should go with the flow.

Since they are here, why not make good use of them?

Especially those who came here recently.

Everyone knows that they are not providing timely assistance, but just adding icing on the cake.

The difference between these two words is really huge.

But there are not many opportunities left, and all we can do now is to perform as well as possible.

Everyone brought enough supplies when they came.

They even had to pay Qin Ming several months' military salary.

They pooled together a large sum of money, hoping to demonstrate their role.

Faced with these, Ye Shoujiang and Chang Baishan did not refuse, but they did not show too much enthusiasm either.

This also made many people from big families feel surprised and uneasy.

In order to maintain a good relationship with Daqian, they have been working extremely hard in the past few days.

"How much silver did you give in total?"

After Qin Ming sat in the main seat, he whispered a question to Chang Baishan next to him.

Chang Baishan naturally understood the situation at this time.

He leaned close to Qin Ming's ear and whispered a number.

"They raised over seven million taels and voluntarily gave up 30% of their fiefdom."

I thought this number would scare Qin Ming, but when he heard these conditions, Qin Ming frowned slightly.

"What do you mean? Do they want to keep 70% of the fiefdom?"

"what?"

Qin Ming's words stumped Chang Baishan.
