Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Liu Qin waved his hand and said:

"What the court said was just a statement to Daqian. We can discuss the real things behind closed doors."

"Although Daqian is powerful now, their attention is not entirely on Xishu. As long as we stabilize the situation and secretly accumulate strength, there may be a chance of a comeback."

"Your Majesty means..."

A gleam of light flashed in the eyes of several ministers.

I thought Liu Qin was a complete surrenderist, but I didn't expect him to be more reluctant than the previous Liu.

In fact, what Liu Qin did was forced by the situation. If they had not corrected their attitude at the beginning, they would never have escaped the siege.

It was for this reason that he specifically expressed his attitude in the court, in order to confuse Qin Ming.

But in private, his thoughts are very different from what he expresses in public.

Not only did he want to take back what he had lost, he even wanted Qin Ming to pay the price.

Although they are only a small country, they can pose a considerable threat to Qin Ming through various mediations.

We can even get back the cities they lost.

Facing everyone's questions.

Liu Qin nodded, his tone firm:

"Even the strongest army has weaknesses. The war in the Western Regions isn't over yet, and Daqian's energy is being tied up there. We can use this time to secretly contact other forces and look for opportunities to counterattack."

His words quickly aroused cheers from everyone present, as they had always hoped that Western Shu would become stronger.

Especially not under the control of Daqian.

But neither Zhuge Yuheng nor Liu Mian led them to successfully achieve this goal.

Unexpectedly, a powerful man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, who not only turned the tide but also began to deploy a counterattack against Daqian.

Several ministers nodded, with a hint of hope on their faces.

After being cowardly for so long, they need to come out and get some fresh air!

A few days later, Liu Qin announced a series of new policies in the court of Western Shu.

They hope to use these measures to appease the people and restore the economy.

When the news of such a wise emperor spread, even the ignorant people in the imperial capital gave him a thumbs up whenever they mentioned him.

He has already gained most of the public support.

At the same time, he secretly sent several trusted ministers to neighboring countries to try to contact allies to fight against Daqian together.

The actions of these people were all kept secret, and only Liu Qin knew about it.

Such a diligent and ambitious emperor is a good thing for Western Shu.

But Liu Qin didn't know that his every move had already been watched by Daqian's secret guards.

It seemed like these people he had arranged had already been thoroughly investigated by Qin Ming's secret guards.

"Your Majesty, Liu Qin of Western Shu seems restless. They are secretly contacting neighboring countries, attempting to form an anti-Qian alliance."

In less than a day, Elder Song obtained information about them and told Qin Ming about the situation.

"I didn't expect his death throes to come so soon."

"Since the armistice agreement has been signed, why can't we have some peace and stability?"

Qin Ming smiled, with a hint of disdain in his tone, and murderous intent revealed on his face.

"Liu Qin is a bit clever, but if he thinks he can turn the tables this way, he's naive."

Elder Song knew that Qin Ming was really angry now, so he could be nice to those people.

At least the two sides should keep their word. Qin Ming stopped the attack as they requested and withdrew all the soldiers.

But after they returned, they were so unconvinced that they even looked for opportunities to cause trouble for Qin Ming.

In this case, they will most likely face the most direct revenge from Qin Ming.

Thinking of this, Elder Song spoke directly to Qin Mingjian.

"Your Majesty, should we take action in advance and completely destroy Western Shu?"

Qin Ming shook his head, his tone calm, but it couldn't hide the anger hidden in it.

"Western Shu is already at the end of its rope and can't cause any major waves. However, we can take this opportunity to give those countries they have contacted a warning and let them know the consequences of opposing Daqian."

"Once we have completely defeated them and achieved a deterrent effect, that will be the time when Western Shu will be destroyed."

"When war is necessary, I will notify you directly. Now, let's get things done in the Western Regions."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Elder Song responded respectfully.

At night, Qin Ming climbed onto the city wall and overlooked the three cities below and in the distance.

These three cities are located at the junction of Western Shu and the Western Regions, and their geographical location is extremely important.

Liu Chuang and his Huoziying troops have been stationed here. The flag of Daqian is flying on the city wall, announcing the new owner of this land.

"Your Majesty, these three cities are firmly in our hands. If the Western Region coalition forces want to borrow a passage through Western Shu, it will be impossible."

Liu Chuang stood behind Qin Ming and whispered.

"It's impossible for them to borrow it. If the Western Regions coalition still wants to counterattack Liu Qin at this time, you are overestimating your own capabilities."

Qin Ming waved his hand and told him not to think like that.

"Your Majesty is wise. Should we go to the Datong Sect next? Chu Ying is a key figure."

At this time, Elder Song, who was following beside him, suddenly spoke.

According to Qin Ming's request, he has already reached an agreement with the Datong Sect in the Western Regions, and many elders there also know the news that Qin Ming is about to go there.

However, Qin Ming has been busy with trivial matters in recent days, which has delayed his trip there.

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Another important chess piece in the Western Regions is Chu Ying. During this period, Qin Ming has conducted many tests on Chu Ying, and this person is indeed capable.

It’s just that the relationship with the Datong Sect was not that close originally.

Now he is basically considered a member of the Datong sect.

Go over there to see how he is doing and make some new arrangements for him.

"Do you think I need to arrange some serious matters for Chu Ying?"

Qin Ming turned and looked at Elder Song.

"Your Majesty, do you mean... give him a chance?"

Elder Song's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Qin Ming meant.

Originally, Qin Ming was not planning to reuse this person, but now it seems that the other party's loyalty to the entire sect has met the requirements.

If he is assigned some specific tasks, or is allowed to hold some specific power within the sect.

Maybe it will have a better effect, and we can tie it to this warship.

You know, although Liu Qin made a lot of contributions to the entire Datong sect.

But up to now, he has not held any official position in this sect.

Qin Ming did not respond, but just looked into the distance and spoke softly.

"Let's arrange it and send it tomorrow. It's time to go."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Elder Song and Liu Chuang looked at each other and immediately began to arrange a secret route.

No one would have thought that when all parties were fighting, the emperor of Daqian would come to this chaotic place in person.
