The Prodigal Son

Shengzhou.

Unfortunately, Qin Yu's negotiations with the Northern Qi side failed.

Bei Qi rejected his "friendly" offer and refused to exchange food for the bodies of the Bei Qi soldiers who had died in battle.

This greatly displeased Qin Yu, who kept cursing the people of Bei Qi for being inhumane.

Fortunately, Du Fan and his men delivered several thousand wounded warhorses.

For the time being, Qin Yu and his group's lives have improved.

If they only had four or five thousand men in Shengzhou Prefecture, they could eat meat every meal for a long time.

Unfortunately, they still had to provide relief to the disaster victims.

After much deliberation, Qin Yu still added a very small amount of minced meat to the porridge for the starving people, and he even slaughtered the warhorses in front of countless starving people.

Because a tiny amount of minced meat was added to the thin porridge given to the starving people, the starving people of Shengzhou now regard Qin Yu as a god.

Qin Yu felt that even if he were to take up a sword and chop down the Jade Emperor, these people would still follow him.

For the time being, they do not need to worry about food.

However, the long-standing food crisis has not disappeared.

He has plenty of manpower now, but those starving people are surviving on thin porridge, so he can't let them do any heavy physical labor.

For Qin Yu, the best thing is for them to move less and eat less.

Just as Qin Yu had ordered someone to investigate the passage through which Yelü Xing and his men had launched their flanking attack, Qi Dachui led a messenger in.

"Greetings, Commander Qin!"

"No need for formalities!"

Qin Yu looked up at the messenger. "What is it?"

"Beiqi sent someone to Xiazhou to deliver a letter to Commander Qin."

As the messenger spoke, he immediately took out a letter from his pocket and presented it to Qin Yu.

A letter from Bei Qi?

Could it be that the people of Beiqi have come to a realization and decided to exchange grain for the bodies of their fallen soldiers?

If that's the case, then they'll be able to earn some more supplies.

Qin Yu took the letter with anticipation and opened it.

However, Qin Yu was surprised when he read the contents of the letter.

Nan Que'er, out of curiosity, also came over to take a look.

Upon seeing this, Nan Que'er was also surprised.

"Empress Murong would like to have a chat with you on the banks of the Panjiang River in Huya?"

Nan Que'er looked like she'd seen a ghost. "This woman is probably trying to take this opportunity to get rid of you, isn't she?"

Without a doubt, Empress Murong definitely wanted to get rid of Qin Yu.

Moreover, Xue Chengdao was the Grand Marshal who led the campaign against Yan.

Even if she wanted to discuss something serious, she should have talked to Xue Chengdao!

But she set her sights on Qin Yu.

This woman is definitely up to no good!

"I think so too!"

Qin Yu nodded in agreement, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "However, I also want to take this opportunity to get rid of her!"

Rong Jiu!

Not to mention that he thwarted Bei Qi's plans this time, given his past grievances with Empress Murong in the capital, Empress Murong would definitely want to get rid of him as well.

However, for him, wasn't this also an opportunity to get rid of Empress Murong?

"You didn't actually go, did you?"

Nan Que'er looked at Qin Yu with concern.

"Of course I'm going!"

Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile. "Since Empress Murong has extended such a warm invitation, how could I possibly refuse?"

Want to get rid of yourself?

Then let's see if Empress Murong has the ability!

He was, after all, a ninth-level expert.

The key issue is that Empress Murong is unaware of her own strength!

If you arrange a private meeting with Empress Murong, with neither of you bringing any protection, and then suddenly attack during the meeting, there is a good chance of killing Empress Murong!

With Empress Murong dead, Northern Qi will inevitably descend into internal strife over the throne.

When we attack Beiqi then, it will be much easier.

You'd better be careful.

Nan Que'er remained worried, "Empress Murong doesn't know your strength, and you don't know hers! What will we do if something happens to you?"

Besides, there is also Tuoba Liuyun in Beiqi, who is known as the number one master in the world!

Who knows if Tuoba Liuyun might lay in ambush beforehand and suddenly attack during their negotiations?

Hearing Nan Que'er's worries, Qin Yu couldn't help but smile calmly, "It's alright! Let's find an open space, and both sides will send people to keep watch beforehand. They won't be able to hide so easily."

Moreover, including Suhe Baoyin, they have four Grandmasters on their side!

With four grandmasters following him, if he were to be killed by the grandmasters of Beiqi, he wouldn't be safe no matter where he hid if they met on the battlefield in the future.

Seeing that Qin Yu was determined, Nan Que'er could no longer persuade him.

never mind!

Let the old man talk to him!

Anyway, isn't he going to Humao?

The old man isn't as gentle as I am.

He won't listen to his father, let's see how his father beats him!

Having made up her mind, Nan Que'er immediately stopped talking.

Qin Yu quickly calculated the time, wrote a letter, and had it delivered to Bei Qi.

Afterwards, Qin Yu summoned Yue Hanshan and gave him some instructions. He then immediately called Ning Huang and the others, intending to take them with him to Huyao.

He values ​​his life quite a bit.

Ning Huang, the number one expert in Great Ning, definitely needs to be brought along!

Upon learning that Qin Yu was going to meet with Empress Murong, Ning Huang, ever eager to stir up trouble, urged, "Talk! What's there to be afraid of? Even Murong Wujiang dared to go alone, what do the men of Ning have to fear?"

"We need to be careful about this!"

Gui San earnestly warned, "Murong Wujiang definitely has ill intentions!"

"As if we have ulterior motives?"

Ning Huang curled his lip and slapped Qin Yu on the shoulder again. "Find a chance to kill Murong Wujiang! If you have the ability to capture her and make her your servant, you'll be remembered for all time! Haha..."

Seeing Ning Huang, who seemed to enjoy the spectacle, Gui San and Gui Si were speechless.

He's really not afraid that something might happen to Qin Yu!

This one is now Zhao Luan's precious darling.

If anything happens to him, none of them will be able to explain it to Zhao Luan.

"I wouldn't dare use that maid! The best course of action is to take this opportunity to get rid of her!"

Qin Yu smiled and glanced at Ning Huang, "Then let's set off now! We'll go through Xiazhou to Huyao!"

Perfect timing, let's also take a look at the area around that mountain path.

If possible, use explosives to cut a passage from that side!

"Anywhere is fine!"

Ning Huanghun didn't care; all he could think about now was killing Murong Wujiang.

Having made up his mind, Qin Yu ordered Qin Xiong to ride a fast horse to inform the old man and the others, and then quickly led his men to set off.

Because they had to travel along mountain paths, the more people they brought, the slower they would be, so Qin Yu brought five people with him.

Besides Ning Huang and the other two, there were only Qi Dachui and Nan Que'er.

Shengzhou is not far from Xiazhou.

They arrived in Xiazhou when it got dark.

That evening, Qin Yu met with Yuan Dingguo and his men who were stationed in Xiazhou.

Upon learning the purpose of Qin Yu's trip, Yuan Dingguo and the others tried to persuade him to leave.

Any normal person would think that Murong Wujiang had ill intentions.

"Alright, that's settled. Stop trying to persuade me!"

Qin Yu raised his hand to stop them. "Tomorrow, send a few men to lead us to the mountain path that connects Xia Prefecture and Huyao!"

"Commander Qin, think it over!"

Liang Hongqiao tried to persuade her again.

Don't worry!

Qin Yu smiled, "I'm terrified of death! I won't do something like this unless I'm absolutely sure!"
