On the day when Zhang Fei led his army to defeat the 20,000 guard troops west of Li Muqing, Wu Tong, who was in Maruntu, received a letter from Fei Ge sent by Zhang Fei. However, the letter from Fei Ge sent by him was not Zhang Fei's intention, but Chen Chu's order forwarded by Zhang Fei.

After reading the letter, Wu Tong stood up excitedly. "Come!" Wu Tong called out loudly. A follower came in immediately, clasped his fists and said, "Sir, what are you asking?"

"Prepare the car immediately, I'm going to the palace!"

"Yes." The follower agreed with his fists.

At the same time, a middle-aged man in casual clothes left the main palace hall, with an expression of anxiety hidden in his expression. This person was no one else, but the envoy sent to Maruto a few days ago. At this moment, in the main hall, Li Yuantuozheng looked in a dilemma. The national teacher and the old minister were all there, and the two had their own opinions. The national teacher advocated abiding by the alliance with the Qin Dynasty, while the old minister believed that the battle with Li Muqing should be stopped and the two sides reached an understanding. The national teacher and the old minister each had their own reasons. Although the two were fighting fiercely, they were both reasonable and did not attack them personally.

Just as the national teacher and the old minister were arguing endlessly, the guards came to report, "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Great Qin Dynasty asked for a visit!"

The three people present were stunned, and Li Yuantuo immediately said, "Please come in!" The guard Yingnuo said, "Let me leave the hall."

Li Yuantuo looked at the national master and the old minister and asked with confusion: "What did the envoy of the Great Qin come here at this time?"

The national teacher clasped his fists and said, "I think they have noticed the contact between us and Li Muqing."

Li Yuantuo couldn't help but be surprised, "What should I do?"

The old minister said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty, it's good that you find it, so that we can make up our minds to quit the war with Li Muqing!"

Hearing this, Li Yuantuo couldn't help but feel a little amused. "Old minister, although what you said is reasonable, if Qing'er refuses to give up his power, we will not be able to negotiate with her at all!" Li Yuantuo said with some emotion.

"Your Majesty, it's best not to make any clear decisions first. After the other party explains the purpose of the visit, we will adapt to the situation!" the national teacher suggested.

"Yes." Li Yuantuo nodded.

A moment later, the guard led Wu Tong, the envoy of the Qin Dynasty to Goguryeo, to the main hall.

"King." Wu Tong said with his fists.

"The noble man doesn't have to be too polite!" Li Yuantuo said with a smile. "What's the matter with this?"

Wu Tong looked at the separated national teacher and old minister, clasped his fists at Li Yuantuo and said, "I heard that the king had had some contact with Li Muqing's envoy recently."

Li Yuantuo was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would clarify the purpose of the trip as soon as he came. "This is indeed something! However, it is definitely different from what the messenger imagined!"

Wu Tong smiled indifferently and clasped his fists and said, "It doesn't matter how you think below, what matters is how your Majesty thinks!"

"What does this mean by the nobles"

Wu Tong took out the letter he had just received from his arms and showed it to Li Yuantuo, "King, this is the flying pigeon letter sent to me by His Majesty of the Great Qin just now! My chariot and cavalry general of the Great Qin have defeated the 20,000 troops placed in the west by Li Muqing today, and the army is advancing into Hengren City!"

The three people present were immediately surprised. "General Zhang's action is so fast!" Li Yuantuo said in disbelief.

"My Great Qin army has always traveled quickly! It abides by the alliance more!" Wu Tong's words were criticized. "King, my Great Qin Majesty has something to me to pass it on your behalf!"

Li Yuantuo was stunned and asked, "I don't know what His Majesty the Great Qin Dynasty meant?"

Wu Tong smiled calmly, clasped his fists to the north, and said solemnly: "My Great Qin Majesty must say, 'If Goguryeo is willing to abide by the covenant, the army will continue to advance eastward to attack the rebels; if Goguryeo is unwilling to abide by the covenant, the army will withdraw immediately and the covenant between the two countries will be invalidated!"

All the people were surprised when they were present. Even the old minister did not expect Chen Chu to be so decisive.

"Encourt, I have no intention of destroying the alliance!" Li Yuantuo hurriedly came to Wutong and said with a fist, with a faint sense of panic in his tone.

Wu Tong looked at Li Yuantuo without saying anything. Li Yuantuo couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"King, what you said is sincere," Wu Tong asked.

Li Yuantuo hurriedly said, "Of course! Although I am just the monarch of a small country, I also abide by my faith! Since I have signed an alliance with the Qin Dynasty, I will never betray my faith!"

Wu Tong nodded and clasped his fists solemnly, "I hope the words the king said today! Since that's the case, I will repay my Majesty of the Great Qin!"

"I am very grateful for your help! Please explain your sincerity in submitting to Your Majesty the Great Qin!" Li Yuantuo asked.

"Don't worry, lord! I'll say it!"

"Thank you, your envoy!"

Wu Tong left the main hall of the palace. Li Yuantuo sighed with a complicated expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, why do you promise Qin so much?" the old minister asked with some dissatisfaction.

Li Yuantuo glanced at Lao Chenxiang and said earnestly: "I know Lao Chenxiang's idea! However, we have no choice at all! We and Qing'er can only maintain a short-term peace, and our strength is far inferior to Qing'er. Without the help of the Qin army, we will have to end up with the defeat!"

The old minister suddenly became silent. "Your Majesty, what if His Highness the Princess is willing to give up his power?" the old minister asked.

Li Yuantuo was stunned, "If this is the case, we can act without looking at Qin's face!"

"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the princess's camp in person to convince her!" The old minister begged with a sincere face.

Li Yuantuo was surprised, "How can this work?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry! I guess His Highness will not make things difficult for the old minister!"

"This..." Li Yuantuo showed a hint of embarrassment and turned his head to look inquiring at the national master. The national master clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, you can let the old minister give it a try! The old minister has a great reputation in our country. No matter what His Royal Highness's plan is, he will not make things difficult for the old minister!"

Li Yuantuo nodded, clenched the old minister's fist and said solemnly: "Old minister, success or failure is the second most important thing. I only hope that the old minister will be safe all the way!"

When the old minister met Li Yuan Tuoyan with sincerity, he couldn't help but feel moved, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wu Tong returned to the inn and immediately sent a letter to Zhang Fei to Fei. However, he didn't know that while he sent a letter to Zhang Fei, the old minister came out of Maruntu from the south gate. There were only two people accompanying him, one of whom was the envoy sent by Li Muqing to Maruntu.

The sky gradually darkened, and the old minister's carriage drove into Li Muqing's military camp outside the city in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The old minister stayed in Li Muqing's military camp for two whole hours. Then the old minister climbed the carriage with a happy look on his face and returned to Wandu. Li Muqing's envoy did not stay, but returned with the old minister, holding a few things in his hand.

He hurried back to the palace. Although it was already late at this moment, Li Yuantuo was still paced back and forth in the hall with anxiety on his face, while the national master stood beside him, looking thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, good news, good news!" The old minister ran into the hall and shouted as he ran.

Li Yuantuo, the national teacher was immediately excited. "Old minister, you will be back!" Li Yuantuo quickly came to the old minister and said in surprise and joy.

The old minister was moved and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your care!" Then he said with excitement: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has agreed to give up all powers and only asks Your Majesty to relieve her of her previous sins!"

Li Yuantuo, the national teacher was stunned. Li Yuantuo asked in confusion: "Qing'er has all the advantages, how can she be willing to give up everything easily?"

The old minister said, "The reason why His Highness the Princess was eager to negotiate with His Majesty before was because he saw that the Qin people would pose a huge threat to my Goguryeo's survival. His Highness was unwilling to Goguryeo to repeat the mistakes of the Xianbei and Wuwan!"

Li Yuantuo nodded and said, "Qing'er's consideration is not unreasonable!" Then he frowned and asked, "With that being said, how can I trust her?"

The old minister immediately asked Li Muqing's envoy to come forward, pointed at the few objects in his hand and said to Li Yuantuo: "I believe these things can make Your Majesty believe in the sincerity of Your Highness!"
