The war progressed so quickly that it was far beyond everyone's expectations.

On May 25th, shortly after Li Xuandu and Qin Qing met in Yuqingyuan, Qin Xiang defeated the governor of Jingchu Zhao Bingyu in Zhending Prefecture. Zhao Bingyu committed suicide by defeating his troops. Qin Xiang continued to lead his army north and met with Qin Qing. Wherever he was located along the way, the generals and eunuchs of the army surrendered without fighting. On May 27th, Liaodong troops gathered outside the imperial capital.

The three armies of the kings were killed, and two of them were wiped out. The remaining governor of Qin, who was afraid of the war.

The Imperial Capital City became an isolated city, leaving only three camps in the city.

Qin Qing did not attack the city immediately, but ordered people to bombard several city gates and destroy all the gate towers above the city, shocking the people in the city.

That night, Princess Xuanzhen entered the city through a hanging basket, met King Yan, and presented Qin Qing’s handwritten letter on the six conditions for peace talks.

Article 1: Punish the person who is in charge of war headed by the Seven Hermits, regardless of the division between Confucian and court officials. Article 2: The Emperor of the Great Wei announced his abdication and was treated as a duke. Article 3: The officers and soldiers of the three major camps immediately surrendered and were incorporated. Article 4: Depose all royal families and special treatments of the royal family. Except for those who have made meritorious people, all property, including the palace, imperial village, palace, inner treasury, and major royal palaces, manors, and leave an ordinary house.

For family members, ordinary royal families are treated as common people. Article 5. The Wei court transferred all powers to the yamen at all levels. After the officials at all levels have been identified, except for the traitors and evil people, the rest will stay and leave at will. Article 6. Inspecting the national treasury, every minute and every cent are the people's wealth and the national treasury is at this point. It can be seen that it is swallowed by the mouths of the worms. If such a corrupt person does not make up for the deficit, I want to tolerate it. The heavens can tolerate it!?

After reading Qin Qing's handwritten letter, King Yan looked at Princess Xuanzhen deeply and said slowly: "This extremely harsh peace negotiation conditions are more urged to surrender than a peace talks."

At this time, there were only two people in the study of King Yan. In terms of generation, King Yan was the uncle of Princess Xuanzhen. He was the same brother as King Xu Wugui and Emperor Shizong. He is now the oldest person in the royal family, and he also truly possessed the military power of the three camps.

Princess Xuanzhen sat opposite King Yan and said, "It's still a little different. If the Liaodong army attacked the city, there were probably few people in the city who could survive. If they took the initiative to negotiate, although they lost their wealth, it would be not difficult to save their lives. Moreover, Duke Qin made it clear in his letter that ordinary royal families were treated as common people, and those who had meritorious people should be different."

King Yan narrowed his dizzy old eyes, looked at the niece, and said, "You are the one who has made meritorious people as Qin Qing said?"

Princess Xuanzhen said, "I dare not, I just live a life in troubled times."

The King of Yan said with some advice: "If one day, I saw the two late emperors of Shimiao and Mumiao under the nine springs, how should you, the princess of the Xu family, face them?"

Princess Xuanzhen remained silent.

King Yan sighed: "If 'Qin Li' really won the world, how will they treat you? Continue to let you be a princess? Or just be a happy rich man?"

Princess Xuanzhen hesitated for a moment and said, "I have become a monk and serve the truth."

The King of Yan suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the Taoist sect."

King Yan picked up the handwritten letter with only one page, held a reading glass in his other hand, and looked at it one by one in the light that was not bright, with a heavy face as deep as water.

Although this was Qin Qing's handwritten letter, the King of Yan was very sure that Li Xuandu's meaning was included in these six conditions, otherwise Qin Qing would not leave room for nothing.

After Li Daoxu passed away, the son-in-law and son-in-law were called "Qin Li". Qin was in front and Li was in the back, with Qin as the main and Li as the auxiliary. However, the King of Yan learned some interesting things from some secret channels, such as Qin Qing and Li Xuan both had differences, and always ended with Qin Qing giving in. It can be said that Li Xuan convinced Qin Qing, or it can be said that Li Xuandu's strength and stubbornness made Qin Qing helpless and could only choose to compromise.

At this point, it cannot be said that Qin Qing is weak. Li Xuandu was still very weak. Even Xu Wugui and Li Daoxu could not change Li Xuan. Poverty and humbleness could not be moved, and mighty and mighty cannot be betrayed. What's more, Li Xuandu, who is now in charge of the power of the Taoist sect? However, Qin Qing and Li Xuan both tacitly concealed Qin Su and prevented the young lady from falling into a dilemma between her father and husband.

After a long time, the King of Yan slowly said, "Since there is a peace talk, there must be a negotiation. Let's not talk about the other five points for now. This first point will be implemented omnipotent. The hermits will not agree to punish the people who are in charge of the war headed by the Seven Hermits. Whoever dares to agree to it is afraid that there will be a disaster for the death immediately."

Princess Xuanzhen said: "Duke Qin said that these six conditions are actually the minimum prerequisites for solving the problem of imperial capital. If you cannot agree, it will be difficult to continue to discuss it. However, I will still convey Uncle Wang's opinion, and there may be a turning point."

King Yan nodded, reached out to take the paper and pen, and gave his own reply to the six peace terms proposed in Qin Qing's handwritten letter. Then he put the letter into the envelope, pasted the envelope with a lacquer and covered it with his own private seal, indicating that the second Duke Li of Qin and Li personally opened it.

Princess Xuanzhen took the letter from King Yan and said goodbye and left.

A long time ago, the Confucian Sect was prepared for peace talks. This was a necessary move in case something was not done at the right time. The Confucian Sect chose the peace talks by Sikong Daxuan. The court agreed that the King of Yan would come forward to contact Princess Xuanzhen, who represented Qin and Li, to leave a way out for herself.

In this regard, the Confucian Sect just turned a blind eye.

Princess Xuanzhen left the imperial capital without any obstacles and returned to Yuying Temple. She met Qin Buer who was waiting here, and handed over the letter from King Yan to Qin Buer.

Qin Buer immediately took the letter to meet Qin Qing.

After Qin Buer left, Princess Xuanzhen remained silently and independent in her room for a long time. It was not until Yao Xianglian walked in that she came to her senses.

Princess Xuanzhen is not a fool. She has long known that this nominal disciple has a great background, but she never points it out. Yao Xianglian rarely comes to see Princess Xuanzhen on his own initiative.

Princess Xuanzhen couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything wrong?"

Yao Xianglian whispered: "Say goodbye to Master."

Princess Xuanzhen was stunned: "Where are you... going?"

Yao Xianglian said: "If the peace talks fail, the city will be attacked soon, and the Taoist and Confucian sects will also have a final battle. At the request of Mr. Qingping, I cannot stay out of the matter."

Although Princess Xuanzhen had expected it, she was still a little shocked at this time.

After a long time, Princess Xuanzhen gently uttered two words: "Take care."

Yao Xianglian bowed and turned around and left.

A night wind blew, and it was already early summer, Princess Xuanzhen still felt a little chill and subconsciously hugged her shoulders with both hands.

Qin Qing was sincere in this peace talks. As long as the Great Wei court followed suit, Qin Qing could guarantee that he would not kill. However, if the Great Wei court was unwilling to do it or could not do it, then Qin Qing would not make too much concessions.

No matter what was written in the King of Yan’s reply, the negotiations were almost broken.

At this time, the lights were brightly lit in the Yuqing Garden.

Countless people from Daomen and inns gathered here, ready to go, many of whom had the dual identities of Daomen and inns, such as Ning Yi, Shangguan Wan, Murong Hua, and Lu Yanbing. Except for Li Feiyan who was kept in Xiangqizhou by Li Xuan, Mrs. Lu and Li Rushi were responsible for logistics, and all the people from the inns, including the guests of the King of Qi, arrived.

They are all waiting.

Waiting for the final decision of "Qin Li".

Yuying Temple was not far from Yuqing Garden, and Qin Buer quickly handed the letter to Qin Qing. After Qin Qing and Li Xuan both read the letter, they discussed it for a long time and then summoned everyone.

A moment later, Li Xuandu and Qin Qing arrived at the main hall one after another, and Qin Qing spoke, "I was going to focus on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch. Since Wei Ting was obsessed with it and was unwilling to negotiate, Zifu and I decided to formally attack the city tomorrow."

Everyone's faces were solemn, and they said in unison.

Qin Qing left first and returned to the army.
