Thunder Ancient City!

The royal team led by the overlord Tang Tianque and Marshal Huwei have been waiting here for eight days. During this period, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect and the sect leader of Xinghe Sect came here one after another, but they didn't wait for Qin Ming and didn't even have any news.

The atmosphere in the cunning house was very tense, even more tense than when the two princesses came.

Li Lingdai and the others had never seen such a big man, and they didn't know how to entertain him. Even the knowledgeable head of Huyan's family seemed cramped.

The prince and the marshal came in person, and the unique majesty of the superiors made many people breathless. Qin Ming did not come back for a long time, which made the royal team secretly dissatisfied and gradually became strict, and the entire cunning was shrouded in depression.

If it weren't for the two Shengwu, the Sect Master of Qingyun Sect and the Sect Master of Xinghe Sect, Li Lingdai and the others might have been panicked.

Tuwei went outside to greet him three times a day, but he couldn't wait for the news. He was so anxious that he began to worry about whether Qin Ming had an accident on the way.

"Let's say it clearly! Where is Qin Ming?" The armrests of the wooden chair held by Marshal Huwei creaked, cracks spread clearly, and powerful pressure filled the room.

Li Lingdai and the others couldn't stand the atmosphere in the room and had already left, with only two sect leaders accompanying them here.

"We just have something to say to Qin Ming, and there is no other intention." Tang Tianque didn't understand why Qin Ming wanted to hide. Was he preparing for some countermeasures? He left Wanjie Mountain on the same day as Qin Ming. Even if there was a small situation on Qin Ming's road, it would not have been delayed for so long, at least half a month later than him.

"Your Highness, Marshal, don't get me wrong. There is nothing to do in our Northern Region, and we dare not neglect it. Qin Ming has not come back for a long time, and he has really encountered a special situation."

"What special situation? Let me tell you. Why are you two sect masters here? What about the sect leader of the Blood Evil Sect? Where is the sect leader of the Tu Ling Sect? Where is the sect leader of the Baihua Sect?!" Marshal Huwei was not angry and powerful, his tone was filled with oppression.

The leader of Xinghe Sect retorted in a deep voice: "So what are we trying to do according to the Marshal's meaning? You didn't say hello before you came here. Qin Ming didn't know you would come. It's not normal to deal with something on the way? Besides, Qin Ming did not stay in the Heavenly King Hall to practice for a few months, and left directly after the end. This has already shown his attitude. What else do you want?"

The already depressing atmosphere became even more tense.

The head of Huyan's family laughed twice, trying to reconcile the atmosphere. But he was usually smart, but now he really didn't know what to say.

An old man from the royal family looked gloomy: "No matter whether Qin Ming is hiding or not, we will wait for two days at most."

Master Li of Qingyun Sect said: "What kind of person is Qin Ming? You have seen him at the palace banquet. He can't deliberately not come out and leave you here. Everyone understands each other. Qin Ming either has an accident or has important things to deal with. So, I contact Master Qiu Lin and the others to see what happened."

At this time, a rushing footsteps came from outside: "Qin Ming is back! He has entered the city!"

Master Li and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Where did this brat go? And Qiu Lin asked us to come early, but he did not show up.

Tang Tianque and others looked a little slow. After all, they came here to negotiate conditions and did not want to make things a mess.

Not long after, Qin Ming, Yao'er, and three sect masters entered the temple, comforted the Qin family, and went straight to the place.

"Hmph!" Seeing Qin Ming and Yao'er coming together, Tang Yushuang snorted coldly on the spot. It turned out that he had gone to the Blood Evil Sect to meet his lover in private?

Qin Ming glanced at the people in the room, came in with a smile, saluted and greeted him one by one. "Let you wait for a long time."

"A sentence that I waited for a long time and sent us away? Your Highness the Immortal King won't give you an explanation?" Tang Yushuang bit the three words "Immortal King" seriously, with cold eyes. We have been waiting for you for eight days, and when we come in, we don't even give you an explanation?

"A little private matter. I didn't expect you to come so urgently, and I've been waiting for a long time." Qin Ming sat on the rattan chair on the head, ignored Tang Yushuang's stern eyes, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness, what I said to you before leaving the Heavenly King Hall, are you not sure what I have said to you? What is the attitude of the royal family?"

Marshal Huwei said with a blank expression: "We want to hear your attitude first."

They could not just listen to Tang Tianque and make decisions about the future stability and face of the dynasty. So this time, he, the old marshal, and three respected clan elders of the royal family, were sent. They wanted to listen to what Qin Ming said and see his attitude and meaning.

Now Qin Ming is no longer as simple as a hero of the Phantom Spirit and Dharma Heaven, but attracts the attention of the whole world. If they have a quarrel with Qin Ming, they will only cause ridicule from the outside world, and the ridicule is more directed towards their Jinpeng royal family.

"First of all, the royal family must re-defined the status of the five sects of Thunder Ancient City and the Northern Region. We do not want to provoke the royal family, nor do we want to do things that harm the dynasty. We only hope to be more independent and free. Secondly, we will also assist the royal family in managing the Northern Region, protecting the Phantom Spirit Heaven, and resisting foreign enemies. Third, the five sects of Thunder Ancient City and the Northern Region pay tribute to the royal family every year. As for the value of the tribute, it needs to be agreed upon by both parties."

Qin Ming's third line came out, and the expressions of the royal family immediately eased.

What does the royal family want? What they want is attitude, and what they want is face!

It doesn’t matter how much tribute is paid. The royal family doesn’t have that little resource, even a few spiritual herbs can be given. However, the tribute shows an attitude, a respect for the royal family, and is for the various families of the dynasty and major foreign regions to see.

Before they came, they were considering whether Qin Ming could pay tribute to the royal family, but Qin Ming actually took the initiative to propose it. This was really great.

Qin Ming glanced at the sect leader of Qingyun Sect and the sect leader of Xinghe Sect. He had discussed it with the three sect masters of Qiu Lin on the way here, and had not had time to discuss it with these two sect masters.

Master Li and his team understood the interests and did not object, and signaled that Qin Ming would make the decision in full.

Qin Ming continued: "We have always emphasized that the Northern Region will never be independent, and there are no other intentions. Whether it is before or now, the attitude will not change. As long as the royal family gives us enough respect, we will also give the royal family absolute support. If the dynasty encounters threats in the future and needs the support of the Northern Region, we will do our best. These can be written in the treaty."

Qin Ming had signed an agreement with the royal family before, but with his title of king, the status of Thunder Ancient City has completely changed. It can basically be said that it no longer belongs to the Jinpeng Dynasty, so some agreements have to be readjusted. Even if it is a structure that does not require modification, it is a different meaning to re-propose it now.

Marshal Huwei and others listened patiently, at least in terms of Qin Ming's current attitude, it was still very good. He was not aggressive or arrogant and forced anything. Everything was reasonable and much better than what they expected.

The three royal families were ready for negotiation before they came to the old age. If they really didn't work, they closed the door and quarreled, and fought with each other. In short, they had to protect the interests of the royal family. But now, Qin Ming's attitude made them feel weaker and weaker in enthusiasm. How can we talk about this? There is no need to talk about it directly! Not bad, not bad, and has a very good attitude.

The resentment that has been around for eight days has slowly dissipated.

"Is there anything else?" Tang Tianque was very satisfied with Qin Ming's attitude and did not become arrogant and arrogant because of his title of king. But he was still waiting for Qin Ming to mention one of the conditions mentioned before, which was that he had to leave the dynasty!

Qin Ming was in the dynasty for one day, and the threat was only one day. Only by leaving could the royal family feel at ease.

Qin Ming himself has a strong talent and is the direct controller of the Eighteen Kings. Now there are figures of the kings of the Heavenly King Hall behind him, and they may appear by his side at any time. Qin Ming is young now and doesn't have so many ideas. What if he suddenly changes his mind one day in the future? Only when Qin Ming leaves can the royal family be stable.

But this condition is a bit harsh, such as "exit", it depends on how Qin Ming understands it.

"In one year, I will leave the Northern Region and travel around the world. In this life, I will never harm the Jinpeng Dynasty. The premise is that the Jinpeng Dynasty protects the ancient city of Thunder and treats the five sects of the Northern Region well."

Tang Tianque and the others exchanged their eyes. It was almost done. Since Qin Ming put his posture very low, there was no need for us to bargain, we could discuss the specific details.

Tang Yushuang glanced at the silent Tang Yuzhen, how about it? He had you in his eyes? Where did the marriage mention the whole process?

Tang Tianque and the others did not have the energy to pay attention to the thoughts of the two princesses, and would not mention marriage anymore. Qin Ming sternly refused to marry, but now he has been crowned as the king and takes the initiative. It is really hard for the royal family to force anything.

"I feel uncomfortable, so I'll leave first." Tang Yuzhen smiled and stood up, silently leaving the reception hall.

An old royal family said, "Let's talk about our opinions. First, we respect the title of King Qin City, and this time we came here to bring some gifts to express our feelings."

"Wait first, I have a condition."
