"Your Majesty, we don't have time now. I'll give you some time to think about it. We can only send people to fight first!"
The king frowned. "Cang Lie's men are here, how far can Xian Chang's troops be? Now, who is willing to be an envoy? Let's go and negotiate peace!"
None of the ministers below dared to speak.
Canglie's troops were attacking the city gates. A general hurried to King Canglie and said, "Your Majesty, Tufan has sent an envoy, saying he wants to negotiate peace. Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"My real goal is not to start a war, but to divert the attention of the Tufan people so that the capital city will no longer be strictly guarded and Gou Qiong can come out!"
"But Your Majesty, if we negotiate peace, there's no reason for them to continue to embarrass the princess and Prince Xian Changchen! Then they can come out easily!"
The king fell silent, then demanded, "If we negotiate peace, will Gou Qiong's revenge be unrequited? I will not allow Gou Qiong to suffer in vain, unless the condition for peace is the surrender of Prince Tufan. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation!"
Afterwards, the Tufan envoys heard that King Canglie insisted that they hand over the eldest prince as a condition for peace talks, so the negotiations naturally failed.
King Canglie was not surprised at all when he learned the result of the negotiations. Since Gou Qiong was unwilling to hand over the prince who had made the mistake, he naturally could not let go of his anger. So how could he easily compromise?
"Your Majesty, a general from Xianchang has arrived on horseback, requesting an audience outside the tent. He says... Emperor Xianchang has dispatched a large number of troops, ready to join forces with us to attack Tufan and capture him! We must avenge the princess and Crown Prince Xianchang!"
"Then send the person over quickly. I am willing to join forces with Xian Chang!"

Although the Tufan Imperial City was very far away from the battlefield, the people naturally became panic-stricken when the war broke out.
Ni Yueshan and the other two were still living in the inn. Once the war broke out, naturally all the soldiers who were still searching and guarding the imperial city would be transferred away.
Their chance to leave the city has come!
"Gou Qiong, if King Tufan is finally willing to hand over his son, will you persuade your father to withdraw his troops?" Ni Yueshan sat next to Duan Gou Qiong and asked.
There were only two people in the room of the inn at this time. Jing Yuchen went to the city gate to inquire about the situation, and the two of them stayed in the inn.
"It wasn't Tufan who offended me, but Tufan's eldest prince. If the eldest prince falls into my hands, I will naturally not continue to cause trouble!"
Ni Yueshan's eyes flickered, and then he suggested, "Well, why don't I go see Yi Wenxuan and ask him to persuade King Tufan to hand over the eldest prince. This will avoid war and maintain peace."
Duan Gouqiong looked at Ni Yueshan in surprise, "Do you trust Yi Wenxuan that much?"
"If it weren't for him, Yu Chen and I would have to slowly investigate you and Shao Lecheng's whereabouts. How would we have had the chance to find you so quickly?"
Duan Gouqiong was silent. Ni Yueshan continued, "When I went looking for him, he had the chance to capture me and hand me over to the King of Tufan for a reward, but he didn't. He didn't do it last time, and he shouldn't do it this time either. I thought he could persuade him, maybe it would be effective."
Duan Gouqiong didn't say anything. Since Ni Yueshan said so, she agreed.
When Jing Yuchen came back, Ni Yueshan told him her idea. Jing Yuchen looked serious and said, "Why don't you let me handle this matter? Or, after I send you two out of the city, I'll go alone to prevent him from suddenly changing sides!"
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen with a troubled expression, "But, I'm worried about leaving you alone!"
Jing Yuchen looked at Ni Yueshan helplessly: "You are pregnant now. You should take good care of yourself and give birth to a child for me. I don't want you to have any more accidents."
Jing Yuchen looked at her seriously, not allowing her to be rejected.
Ni Yueshan lowered her eyes and leaned into Jing Yuchen's arms.
"But I'm worried about leaving you alone."
"Fool, I can only escape alone!"
In the end, Jing Yuchen went to Yi Mansion alone, while Ni Yueshan and Duan Gouqiong went out of the city gate and left Tufan at the same time.
However, Jing Yuchen did not ask his servants to report to Yi Wenxuan when he went to his house, but went there himself.
Yi Wenxuan in the study heard a knock on the door. He stopped writing and looked at the door. Before he could say anything, the door was pushed open. The person who walked in surprised Yi Wenxuan.
Although Jing Yuchen had changed his appearance, his deep and cold eyes made him feel very familiar for a moment. Then he looked at his temperament without any disguise, which was indeed familiar!
"You, you are the King of Chen, why are you also in Tufan?"
He stood up and looked at Jing Yuchen with a dazed look. Jing Yuchen just looked at him indifferently without much reaction. He said calmly: "I came here just to ask you to persuade King Tufan to hand over the eldest prince as soon as possible. Perhaps we can avoid war. Otherwise, in the end, only lives will be lost!"
Yi Wenxuan's expression grew serious, and he sighed deeply, "I'm just a nobody. In front of the king, I'm nothing. You're asking me to dissuade you. Isn't that too much of an honor for me?"
Then he asked in surprise, "Are you going out of the city? Take me with you? I also want to leave Tufan and stay here. What if the imperial city is breached? Wouldn't I be buried in the imperial city?"
He quickly walked to Jing Yuchen and grabbed his arm: "Take me with you, I will go with you."
Jing Yuchen said solemnly, "I'm here to ask you to persuade the king!"
"I wouldn't dare. You know, the minister who persuaded the king to hand over the eldest prince was dragged out and beheaded on the spot. One moment he was Tufan's minister, and the next he was a dead body! You're making things difficult for me!"
