Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 551: The peerless beauty comes to visit

Cao Chuan suddenly understood.

The Yan Dynasty’s final action is likely to be to negotiate with Qin Ming. After all, Qin Ming has already strangled Yanjiang’s throat.

"Then you mean..."

"I will contact them. A group of them may arrive soon. We can see their attitude first, whether to fight or negotiate."

Outside the northern pass of Daqian, there was also an invasion from the coalition forces of the Yan Dynasty and the northern tribes.

If he could negotiate and get the other side to withdraw its troops, Qin Ming would not have to spend so much effort to suppress the war in the north after he returned.

"Okay, I'll wait for your arrangements."

Cao Chuan understood Qin Ming's meaning. As long as Yan Dynasty and Qin Ming negotiated, he would stay here for a period of time to stabilize the situation and help merchant ships traveling upstream and downstream to trade.

This was not difficult for him.

"As for Heifu, I have already sent Liu Chuang to cross the Ouyang family and go to support him. You don't have to worry."

Qin Ming mentioned another thing at this time.

Liu Chuang was the reinforcement he had originally arranged for himself.

However, the Tiger Roar Guards on the battlefield between the Ouyang and Yun families reacted very violently, causing Liu Chuang to be slowed down when crossing the Ouyang family's territory.

Neither Yan Ziqiong nor Ouyang Lie are good at fighting generals, nor are they keen on head-on confrontation on the battlefield.

It can be said that it is frighteningly stable.

The two of them realized that the Fire Camp led by Liu Chuang was good at conquering but lacked follow-up troops.

He immediately started a war of attrition with Liu Chuang, and both sides wore down each other.

This made the aggressive Fire Camp very uncomfortable.

He took the initiative to initiate the battle and charged dozens of times. After half a month, Liu Chuang finally managed to break through the Ouyang family's defense line.

But considering the time he had spent on the journey, it was no longer suitable for him to come to Qin Ming's side to support him.

Therefore, Qin Ming arranged for him to find Heifu first to prevent the collapse of the Yun family battlefield where Heifu was.

A few days later.

A group of troops arrived from afar and lined up outside Xingjia Pass.

After receiving the news, Chen Pi found Qin Ming immediately.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army has arrived with hundreds of thousands of troops. It looks like they're going to continue the fight!"

"Ok?"

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment.

From any perspective, there was no need for the Yan army to continue fighting.

The natural barrier of Yanjiang River, plus the barrier of Lian'an City.

If they want to fight back, the troops they will consume will be several times more than before.

"What kind of troops are coming?"

"The Yan army's regular troops, and... the Tiger Roar Guards!"

When Chenpi said this, he himself didn't believe it.

Yan Zheng’s departure before made them think that the Yan Dynasty would not arrange for the Tiger Roar Guard to continue coming.

During this period, the secret guards did not receive much news about the Tiger Roar Guards.

And at this time, they came again.

"Go and have a look."

Qin Ming stood up and prepared to see what these people were going to do.

Just as they were leaving the barracks, a group of troops suddenly arrived from a distance.

The leader was wearing the armor of a Yan army general, and was followed by a dozen Daqian soldiers.

"What do they do?"

Qin Ming and Chen Pi stopped the man and asked.

When they saw Qin Ming, they immediately showed a look of relief on their faces and hurried forward to explain:

"Your Majesty, we encountered them while on patrol. This man claimed to be a general of the Tiger Roar Guard. He came here today to see you, so we brought him here."

"What brings you here, sir?"

Qin Ming looked at the other party in confusion. He arrived with troops and also came to ask for a meeting.

Even Qin Ming couldn't guess whether they wanted to fight or not.

Just as Qin Ming was puzzled, the leading general dismounted from his horse, walked up to the two men, and bowed, saying:

"Greetings, Your Majesty of Daqian. I am Xiahou Lian, Commander of the Left Route of the Tiger Roar Guard."

"Our princess may come to visit soon, and today she asked me to deliver a message."

"If you're willing, you can talk to me."

"Princess...Yan Ziqiong?"

Chenpi was also a little confused at this time.

Shouldn’t Princess Tiance Yan Ziqiong be on the Yun family battlefield?

Why did you suddenly appear here again?

"The thing is like this..."

Xiahou Lian told Qin Ming the news of the change of defense.

After learning about what Yan Wujiang had done before, Qin Ming and Chen Pi suddenly realized.

Unexpectedly, the instigator of the incident was Yan Wujiang.

If Yan Wujiang had not found a way to force Yan Zheng away at that time, Qin Ming's attack on Xingjia Pass might have really run into problems.

As for why Qin Ming's troops had not found out about their change of guard, it was because they were moving within the territory of the Yan royal family.

At that time, Liu Chuang and the secret guards had not yet broken through the Ouyang family's defense line, so naturally they could not know what was happening inside the other side.

"In other words, the Yun family's battlefield is now handed over to Yan Zheng?"

"Yes, that was originally within his fiefdom."

Xiahou Lian nodded slowly.

He came here today with sincerity.

That's why so much information was revealed to Qin Ming.

"I understand. If you have time in three days, Princess, please come and have a chat."

Qin Ming spoke slowly and agreed to this request.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Now that the matter has been settled, I will return to report."

Xiahou Lian clasped his fists again and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

Qin Ming smiled and nodded, then sent the man out of the barracks.

Because of the previous battle between the Tiger Roar Guards and Lian'an City, Qin Ming has had a good impression of them until now.

"Your Majesty, what did they say? Do they want to negotiate?"

At this time, Chenpi walked forward and asked curiously.

Qin Ming thought for a moment and said:

"Go and inform the Wu family to send the prisoners of war to Xingjiaguan one after another. Yan Ziqiong will come to visit in three days."

As the most powerful princess in the entire dynasty, Yan Ziqiong's name carries a lot of weight.

After Qin Ming used a telegraph to transmit the message to the troops in Lian'an City.

Wu Tianxing soon learned the news.

"This……"

"Hurry up and inform father that Qin Ming will negotiate peace with Princess Tiance tomorrow!"

"I'm going to go to Jiaguan!"

Qin Ming still took the interests of the Wu family into consideration.

Telling them the news in advance is so that they can come as soon as possible.

If he could participate in the peace talks with Qin Ming, he could also gain more benefits for the Wu family.

However, what Qin Ming didn't expect was that Wu Tianxing and Wu Wenzhou arrived together at full speed the next day.

When Wu Wenzhou arrived, he could not even stand steadily due to the long-distance horseback riding.

"Your Majesty, I'm not late!"

"No, there's still one day left for you two to rest."

Qin Ming waved to Chang Baishan and asked him to arrange accommodation for the father and son.

Wu Wenzhou is the kind of person who would argue with Qin Ming for a long time over even the slightest bit of interest.

Now that we have such a great opportunity, we must take the lead.

With his appearance, Qin Ming felt much more relaxed.

He believes that Wu Wenzhou will gain more benefits for this alliance of interests.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and on that morning, a luxurious carriage arrived at Xingjia Pass.

Chenpi, Caochuan, Chang Baishan, Wu Tianxing and others were waiting here early.

After the city gates were opened.

A fragrant breeze blew by, and the carriage slowly headed towards Qin Ming's residence following Chang Baishan's guidance.

At this time, Wu Tianxing clenched his fists and sighed with some regret.

Chen Pi on the side asked curiously:

"Xiao Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Wu Tianxing sighed:

"It is said that this gentleman is extremely beautiful, but unfortunately, I was unable to see her beauty today after a brief glimpse."

Cao Chuan:
