Chapter 5: The Golden Horde proposed peace talks, and the princess was shocked!

The defeat in Dingzhou City soon spread to the Golden Horde, and the Western Hu Chanyu was shocked!

He simply couldn't believe that his invincible cavalry was defeated so easily!
What is even more unbelievable is that there is actually a weapon comparable to the power of heaven that is mastered by the people of Qing!

"Could it be that even Changshengtian is on the side of Qingren? I won't accept this!"

The Chanyu's eyes were full of ferocity.

He was only in his thirties, in the prime of his life, but he was able to control the Golden Horde and command the major tribes on the grassland.

He has countless cavalrymen under his command, and the people of Qing will suffer humiliation if they encounter them!
So he was not satisfied with just staying on the grassland. He was very eager for the rich resources and wanted to conquer the Central Plains!

To this end, he did not hesitate to launch wars against the Kingdom of Qing year after year, trying to break through the city built by the Qing people!

Although it seemed like repeated defeats over the years, it also greatly consumed the military strength of the Qing Kingdom.

As long as he waits for the right opportunity, he may be able to truly step into the Central Plains!

And this opportunity does not seem to be far away, the decisive battle between Qing and Qi is just around the corner!
But at this moment, someone told him that Changshengtian helped the Qing people to bring down divine punishment on the royal court!

How could he possibly accept this?!
"Calm down! These are just rumors!"

There is no doubt that the defeat of Hu Bing in Dingzhou City was true.

But for a weapon that is comparable to the power of heaven, Shanyu would rather believe that it came from a temple!
For thousands of years, the temple has been indirectly affecting the entire world's pattern!

This time is probably no exception!

"A spy from Dingzhou City sent back a message saying that these mysterious weapons came from the Fourth Prince of Qing State... Could it be that he is the Chosen One?!"

There is no trace of the temple to be found, and there are only two channels for people to communicate with the temple: the temple messenger and the Heavenly Vein!
The former comes from the temple, while the latter is chosen by the temple messenger!

The fourth prince of Qing was chosen by the temple... Doesn't that mean the temple tacitly approved Qing's unification of the world? !
Shanyu's pupils trembled, he was frightened by his own guess!

If this is the case, then the chances of Wang Ting taking control of the Central Plains will be even smaller...

No, it should be said that it almost does not exist!
Thinking of this, Chanyu's heart sank.

And at this moment, a notification sounded, allowing Shanyu to instantly hide his inner fear.

"Chanyu, the leaders of all the tribes want to see you!"

"Xuan!"

More than a dozen tribal leaders walked into the king's tent.

The moment he saw them, Chanyu's heart suddenly tightened and he immediately had a bad premonition.

"Khan, have you heard about the mysterious weapon that appeared in Dingzhou? This is what we are here for."

"That weapon is extremely vicious. Not only is it extremely powerful, but even if you survive by chance, you will basically be disabled!"

"And this will greatly reduce our tribe!"

After hearing the words of these tribal leaders, Chanyu already understood their purpose today.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his sharp hawk-like gaze was cast at the tribal leader.

"Are you planning to force the emperor to abdicate?" But the other party was not afraid at all. Instead, he stared into his eyes.

"Shan Yu, I'll be frank."

"The Qing people intend to buy wool at a high price, and this will happen every year from now on!"

"So we discussed it and decided to change the way we do it, instead of letting the men in the tribe die and letting you enjoy yourself in the royal court."

After hearing this, the Chanyu was furious and shouted, "You are betraying the Eternal Heaven!"

The tribal leader also raised his voice, "We just don't want the men in our tribe to die inexplicably. What's wrong with that?!"

The Chanyu had no intention of arguing with these tribal leaders.

On the grassland, strength is king.

The reason why he was able to integrate the major tribes and secure his seat in the king’s tent was not because of his big talk, but because of the cavalry under his command!
But then, a scene appeared that was even more difficult for him to accept. The barbarian leader actually stood up!

"Khan of the grassland, we believe that the opinions of the leaders of the major tribes should be respected!"

At this moment, Chanyu was completely desperate!
When he first succeeded to the throne of Khan, the barbarians in the north gave him a lot of help!
Now even his allies have come out to accuse him, so he actually has no choice!

Closing his eyes in pain, the Chanyu announced helplessly, "Inform the Qing envoy that I agree to peace talks!"

The leaders of the major tribes were very satisfied with this result!
After witnessing the terrible lethality of those pottery jars with their own eyes, they would rather put down their scimitars!

Just using wool to exchange for silk and porcelain from the Central Plains, this deal couldn’t be better!
As for the rampant goats, they are likely to cause unimaginable disasters to the pastures.

That is not within their consideration!
The Golden Horde's letter of surrender was soon transmitted back to the capital of Qing Kingdom, and everyone was excited!
It's incredible that the Golden Horde, which has been harassing the border of Qing Kingdom for many years, actually agreed to unconditional peace talks!
And when they found out that the person who brought about this result was actually the Fourth Prince who had just established his own palace!
For a time, Li Chengde's reputation reached its peak!

Countless people took to the streets and expressed their admiration for His Majesty the Fourth Prince in various ways!
The news was known to the whole city, and Guangxin Palace certainly couldn't be unaware of it.

"Your Highness, news has come from Dingzhou City that the little gadget made by the Fourth Prince has frightened the Hu people so much that they dare not move eastward, and now they have officially announced their surrender to our Daqing!"

"Oh?" The eldest princess looked surprised. The Golden Horde's actions were very fast, completely beyond her imagination!
However, if you think about it carefully, it is quite normal.

The pottery jar explosion experiment in front of the palace not only successfully frightened all the civil and military officials in the court.

Even those in the palace who knew the situation could not help but recall some not-so-good memories.

In the face of such a shocking weapon, it was only natural that the Golden Horde surrendered quickly!
What the princess couldn't figure out was where did Li Chengde get this ability from? !
According to her memory, Li Chengde grew up in the palace and had never been in contact with a temple!
But it is really shocking that they can produce explosives of such power!

But seeing Li Chengde's performance in offering suggestions this time, the princess admired him very much!
Unlike others, she was not attracted by Li Chengde because he brought huge benefits to Qing Kingdom, but because of Li Chengde's cruelty!

This made the eldest princess see her own shadow.

She made the decision almost instantly. She was ready to help Li Chengde in the fight for the throne!
"Since the Fourth Prince has made great contributions, I believe His Majesty will not be stingy with his rewards."

"Then our Guangxin Palace is of course no exception. Pass on my order and give this jade hairpin to the Fourth Prince."

As she spoke, the princess casually took off the jade hairpin she was wearing and handed it to the palace maid serving beside her.

But then she paused for a moment and changed her mind, "Wait, I'll go there myself!"
