In the imperial capital, the situation at this time, as Qin Tian expected, was treacherous.

The Nine Emperors, the Crown Prince, the Four Princes, and their three sons gave Emperor Debing an incomparable headache.

Originally, the open and secret battle between the Nine Emperor Princes and the Crown Prince had already made the Ice Emperor feel extremely headaches, but now that he suddenly joined a Four Princes, the Ice Emperor was a little stunned in an instant, especially, the power of the Four Princes was not small, and even many major events in the government and the opposition, the Ice Emperor himself was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and he couldn't be the master.

The open and secret battle between the three princes made Emperor Bing exhausted, and he didn't want any of his sons to be hurt, but the Nine Emperor Sons had been hurt by Qin Tian and had no cultivation, which meant that it would be difficult for the Nine Emperor Princes to convince the public and lead the Tianyuan Dynasty in the future.

Later, I cried several times with the Ice Emperor for this, and asked the Ice Emperor to kill Qin Tian and destroy Qin Tian.

However, under the current situation, the Ice Emperor had to think more, if he killed Qin Tian's women, the situation of the Tianyuan Dynasty might be even more chaotic.

In the imperial capital, the struggle between the crown prince and the four princes became more and more obvious.

Originally, the Ice Emperor tended to support the Nine Emperor Princes to inherit his throne, but after the Nine Emperor Princes had an accident, the Ice Emperor naturally hoped that the Prince would further control his strength.

But it backfired, and before that, he actually ignored the four princes.

This fourth prince, who has been planning for so many years and quietly cultivating his own strength, is now revealed, and most of the government and the opposition are his people, and many generals are also inclined to support the four princes, and instantly form a confrontation with the crown prince.

Ice Emperor, it's hard to do.

To help the crown prince suppress the four princes, in a short period of time, he couldn't find a way.

On the contrary, the four princes were a little aggressive, relying on their own conspiracy to force the prince to retreat, and many of the prince's henchmen held official positions were taken away by the four princes.

The Ice Emperor saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

And at this moment, in the imperial capital, a major event occurred that changed the pattern!

The Nine Emperor Princes really hated Qin Tian to the extreme, and privately took more than 5,000 elite soldiers to surround the Qin Mansion and forcibly attack! He wanted to kill Fan Bing and the others, and he wanted to make Qin Tian pay a terrible price!

But what he didn't expect was that the attack of the Nine Emperors was desperately resisted by the Four Princes and his guards.

Obviously, even if the Nine Emperors have no martial arts, but his subordinates have a large number of people and strong combat power, and the four princes can't resist them at all.

The Four Princes were tied up by the Nine Emperors, and his elite soldiers entered the Qin Mansion and began to massacre.

However, they met with resistance -

Fan Bing, Qiao Wenxuan, Liu Fei'er and Du Qiuniang rose up to resist!

Because Liu Fei'er and Du Qiuniang's cultivation was relatively high, the soldiers of the Nine Emperor Princes were unable to attack for a long time.

Of course, in the Qin Mansion, there are actually Duan Xiaodao and several of his henchmen and generals.

But because of their identity, they didn't dare to show up rashly, otherwise, they would be seen by the Nine Emperor Princes, grab the handle and say that Duan Xiaodao was a traitor, and he would have a legitimate reason to kill Duan Xiaodao.

Liu Fei'er and Du Qiuniang's joint resistance caused dozens of soldiers of the Nine Emperor Princes to die on the spot, and the Nine Emperor Princes lost their minds and decided to increase their manpower to carry out a strong attack.

However, before he had time to increase his troops, the four princes brought people here.

Not only the four princes, but also the imperial capital supervision history who is in charge of the law, and the commander of the imperial capital forbidden army who is responsible for the security of the imperial capital, all came and arrested the nine princes.

The Nine Emperors were forcibly taken away by the Four Princes, while Fan Bing and the others were surrounded by the Four Princes' people.

The four princes did not do anything to Fan Bing and the others, but sent someone to guard them in a small courtyard in the Qin Mansion, which was called "guards".

At the same time, the four princes made two preparations.

The first is to jointly supervise the history and the commander of the forbidden army, and write a joint letter with more than a dozen other ministers, accusing the Nine Emperor Princes of having no king's law, wantonly leading troops to kill people in the imperial capital, killing countless casualties, and demanding that the Ice Emperor deal with it strictly.

The second is that the fourth prince wrote a letter and asked his closest people to send it directly to Xizhou, which probably meant to explain to Qin Tian the situation of the Nine Emperors' attack on the Qin Mansion, and the most important thing was to explain that he appeared in time to protect Fan Bing and others. At the end of the letter, he also promised Qin Tian that he would send Fan Bing and the others to Xizhou as soon as possible, hoping that Qin Hou would maintain his trust in him and work together.

On the imperial capital's side, the matter of the Nine Emperor Princes made Emperor Bing angry, even if he pleaded for mercy in the future, he was in front of many of the Nine Emperor Princes' criminal evidence, and he couldn't show mercy, and sent the Nine Emperor Princes to his territory in northern Xinjiang, without the emperor's edict, he was not allowed to enter the imperial capital privately!

Although the Ice Emperor knew that it was possible that the crown prince or the fourth prince took the opportunity to eradicate the trap of the Nine Emperor Princes, but for the Nine Emperor Princes who had always been willful and reckless, the Ice Emperor still knew very well, and he used to often endure the willfulness of the Nine Emperor Princes, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, so he attacked the Nine Emperor Princes.

Although it is not fatal, the Nine Emperor Princes have never had a chance to turn over.

In the Tianyuan Dynasty, the only forces on the surface were the crown prince and the four princes.

On Qin Tian's side, after receiving the letter from the Four Princes, Qin Tian immediately replied with a letter, thanking the Four Princes for their "care" of Fan Bing and others, and at the same time stated that the previous trust had always been there, and he hoped to work together to contribute to the prosperity and strength of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

After receiving the reply, the fourth prince was very happy, and immediately negotiated with the fourteenth prince and sent someone to send Fan Bing and others to Xizhou.

The Fourteenth Prince originally disagreed, but after writing a letter to Qin Tian for verification, he was willing to send a hundred people and a fifty-man escort team of the Fourth Prince to jointly escort Fan Bing and more than 300 others back to Xizhou.

Of course, Duan Xiaodao was in the ranks.

When Fan Bing and the others set off in the imperial capital, another letter from the four princes was also delivered to Qin Tian at the same time-

On behalf of General Lin Yao under him, the fourth prince borrowed 30,000 troops from Qin Tian to suppress bandits in the southern mountain city.

Lin Yao was the city lord of Nanzhou Mountain City, and there was a serious bandit problem there, but he only had more than 10,000 troops, and he couldn't completely suppress the bandits, so he borrowed troops from Qin Tian.

However, the deep-seated meaning of the four princes, Qin Tian is also very clear-

I'll help you send your women back safe and sound, and in order to show your intention to cooperate, you have to show your heart more or less, right?

Therefore, the so-called borrowing of 30,000 soldiers from the four princes is actually thinking that Qin Tian wants 30,000 soldiers and horses.

If Qin Tian didn't agree, maybe Fan Bing and them would definitely come up with something.

After discussing with Zhou Yang and others, Qin Tian replied to the four princes, agreeing to lend 20,000 troops to Lin Yao to suppress the bandits, and the day Fan Bing and others arrived in the western capital was the day when 20,000 soldiers and horses went to the southern mountain city to join Lin Yao.

These 20,000 people are the old and weak remnants of Zhou Yang's weak combat strength after being screened, so Qin Tian is willing to use them to test the sincerity of the cooperation of the four princes.
