Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

This is indeed a very big problem.

Deep down, they wanted to have the best of both worlds, with the help of Daqian and then using Daqian as a springboard to negotiate with the Shenmu Kingdom.

But this would result in Daqian working hard all the time, only to end up like a clown and be abandoned by both sides.

Liu Qin took all the benefits.

Everyone began to think about how to deceive Daqian.

"How about we tell them that we've ended this crisis, and then give them some military funds so they can leave?"

"How is this possible? Can the people of Daqian be summoned and dismissed at will?"

"I think it's better to act first and report later. Let's negotiate with the Shenmu Kingdom first. By then, whether Daqian is willing or not, the matter has already been done. At most, we can give them some compensation and send them off in a friendly manner."

"This is our own war. They can't keep putting us in a difficult fight."

Liu Qin became more and more worried as he listened to what everyone said.

Although they proposed various solutions, he felt that these solutions were not feasible as soon as he heard them.

He knew very well who Qin Ming was.

If they really dared to do this and made Daqian and Qin Ming unhappy, they would be in big trouble.

"Is it possible to refuse the peace talks, let Daqian defend its territory, and force the Shenmu Kingdom to withdraw its troops?"

Soon Liu Qin put forward his own ideas.

This is the best solution, but it will leave hidden dangers for the entire dynasty.

The relationship between them and the Shenmu Kingdom will naturally become irreconcilable.

This will also make the entire Western Shu firmly join Qin Ming's team, and there will be no chance to cooperate with the Shenmu Kingdom again.

Compared to meeting with them and discussing how to cease fire, this option will make them sacrifice some of their interests and cannot have the best of both worlds.

However, it allowed Liu Qin to show his closeness to Daqian and improved the relationship between them and Daqian.

But his words quickly aroused opposition from the public.

"Your Majesty, this is a matter of national importance. How can we consider outsiders?"

A minister quickly jumped out and questioned Liu Qin.

As surrenderists, they were actually unwilling to continue the war.

Even if this war can bring them some benefits in the end.

But the continuation of the war will affect the good lives of many people.

The sooner it ends, the sooner they can enjoy a peaceful life.

Hearing that what they said was becoming more and more outrageous, Liu Qin's face suddenly turned ugly.

He glanced at the officials who were making a fuss.

He slowly said:

"The Shenmu Kingdom has already attacked several of our cities and is still looting them. Are you suggesting I go to negotiate peace?"

"What do you take me for?"

His harsh words quickly silenced everyone present.

Taking this opportunity, Liu Qin continued:

"There's no need to discuss what happened each time. I won't go. Let them continue fighting."

After hearing his decision, everyone's faces suddenly became serious, and they all wanted to say something more.

But Liu Qin simply waved his hand and asked them to leave the hall.

"Let's all go back."

Liu Qin's decision soon caused considerable controversy within and outside the government.

Although many people wanted Liu Qin to go and meet the people from the Shenmu Kingdom, he decided to refuse them.

Some people speculate that Liu Qin's performance is probably to wait for a higher price, hoping that the Shenmu Kingdom will raise the price.

Some people think that this is not the case, and he may very well want to stand on the side of Daqian.

But no matter what, Liu Qin's decision was still made public.

After receiving the news, Chang Sunhu reported it to Hua Yunhong.

Hua Yunhong, who was far away on the southern border, became furious when he learned about the current situation.

"We've really been too kind to this bastard. We personally asked to meet, but he flatly refused. We didn't even exchange letters."

"Your Highness, is this man mentally ill? Or has he been bribed by Daqian?"

Du Zi was also confused.

He had never seen a small country make such a big deal, unless they had the support of other forces behind them.

And the existence of Qin Ming and others.

It is very likely that he is the backer that Liu Qin relies on, but is the relationship between Liu Qin and Daqian really so close?

"Did Qin Ming reply?"

"Not yet. Our message has been sent out for a long time and should have reached their court by now. Given their speed of transmission, if there is no reply yet, it means they have ignored us."

When Qin Ming decided to let Daqian arrange troops to support Liu Qin.

Hua Yunhong received the news and wrote a letter directly to Qin Ming, hoping to talk to him.

After all, this is a grudge between them and Western Shu.

If Qin Ming could withdraw, the relationship between the two sides could be stabilized.

But Qin Ming has not given any response so far.

He forcefully arranged for troops to be stationed in the territory of Western Shu and stopped all of Changsun Huo's troops.

Determined to maintain this war.

They really think that Western Shu is their back garden and don't give the Shenmu Kingdom any chance at all.

Hua Yunhong was very angry.

He was an extremely arrogant person and could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

Qin Ming is even more arrogant than him, and there is no room for turning back from what he has done.

This made Hua Yunhong feel that he was very dangerous.

"These bastards are teaming up to mess with us. He's been acting strangely since we were in the Western Regions. Now there are rumors that he's the mastermind behind the Datong Sect."

"No wonder he kept obstructing us when we entered the Western Regions. It seems they have been preparing for this game for a long time."

Things have developed to this point. Even if Hua Yunhong does not know complete information, he can guess that Daqian is likely to want to get involved in the Western Regions.

He even wanted to take this territory under his control.

What they did was to start a war throughout the Western Regions and ignite all the conflicts in the Western Regions.

Originally, they had the situation under their control very well, but with the participation of Shenmu Kingdom and Xishu, the situation gradually became chaotic.

Fortunately, Qin Ming took charge personally and things progressed steadily.

If we work backwards, a lot of the logic is actually very clear.

"Let the eldest grandson return."

After a moment's silence, Hua Yunhong suddenly gave an order.

Upon hearing this, Du Zi's eyes widened and he quickly asked:

"Your Highness, why are we retreating? This would have a huge impact. We haven't made any progress there. How are we going to explain this to the court?"

This decision has a huge impact.
