Chapter 683: Chapter 680: Emerging Prominently_1

Qin Shangzhi stood up and bowed deeply to the Crown Prince. "Please, Your Highness, do not hesitate. This battle is inevitable!"

Fang Lao glared at Qin Shangzhi again, stroking his goatee with a smile, and played his trump card. "Mr. Qin’s words are not without reason. Your Highness should enter the palace and ask for the Emperor’s opinion before making a decision."

The Crown Prince nodded in agreement. "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to seek guidance from my father!"

Bai Jinzhi sighed in his heart. It was over... there was no hope!

The old Emperor had become muddle-headed. Now, he only wished for immortality. If there was money, he would definitely build a Nine-Floored Tower. What war could there be?!

Qin Shangzhi silently prayed, hoping the Emperor would understand that seizing Daliang was crucial for the Jin Kingdom.

When Qin Shangzhi left the Crown Prince’s study, he inexplicably thought of the Yan Kingdom. Actually, until now... Qin Shangzhi still did not know the strength of the Yan Kingdom.

As the Princess of Zhen mentioned through Commandery Princess Gaoyi... if the Yan Kingdom were weak, they wouldn’t dare send troops to assist Beirong against Nanrong.

If Yan were a strong country, how could the encirclement by Liang and Wei terrify Emperor Yan to death?

He lowered his eyes and walked down the high steps shimmering with lantern light. Suddenly, he halted, and looking up at the starry sky, he had a thought...

Could it be that Yan used the excuse of Emperor Yan’s imminent death just to summon back Prince Murong Li?

But why did the Yan Kingdom need to summon the Prince back?

Qin Shangzhi stopped in his tracks.

"Brother Qin, why are you stopping here? Do you still have something to say to the Crown Prince?" Ren Shijie came from behind, seeing that Qin Shangzhi had halted, and asked with a smile.

Qin Shangzhi’s eyes suddenly widened, his thoughts clear as crystal. But... could it be possible?

The Yan Kingdom summoned back the Prince held hostage in Jin to show their strength to the world. They intended to inform everyone that the Yan Kingdom had risen. They feared the Jin Kingdom would leverage the Prince to restrain the Yan. So... Emperor Yan staged a performance of critical illness to summon his son back!

Qin Shangzhi understood the key and hurriedly returned to the Crown Prince’s study. Ren Shijie also lifted his long robe and hurriedly followed.

Seeing Qin Shangzhi return, the Crown Prince looked up, speaking gently. "Mr. Qin, rest assured... tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace and try to persuade my father to send troops to Daliang!"

Qin Shangzhi bowed deeply to the Crown Prince. "Your Highness, what I wish to say is not this. It concerns Prince Murong Li, held in Jin, of the Yan Kingdom! Your Highness... that Emperor Yan has experienced great ups and downs in life. How could he be near death because of Liang and Wei’s encirclement? This is just an excuse for Yan to summon back Prince Li!"

The Crown Prince seemed puzzled. "If they wanted to summon the Prince, they could say so directly or send someone else. Why pretend to be near death? It doesn’t make sense..."
