I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

After hearing what Huangfu Qi said, Cao Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had done a lot of things, far more than just corruption and bribery.

He has done all these things, including kidnapping women, trafficking people, and forcing women of good character into prostitution, so that's why he is so scared.

"In that case, I wonder what General Huangfu wants to do by coming to Minjiang Pass?" Cao Chun asked with a smile.

Now he is not afraid at all. As long as his dirty deeds are not investigated, they are still friends. So no matter what Huangfu Qi wants to do, he will definitely cooperate with him fully.

Huangfu Qi looked at Cao Chun, his expression did not change at all, but his expression was a little serious.

"If I tell you that Minjiang Pass is about to be lost, would you believe it?" Huangfu Qi said very seriously.

After hearing Huangfu Qi's words, Cao Chun was obviously stunned. He really didn't expect that his Minjiang Pass would be lost. Moreover, Minjiang Pass was surrounded by many cities. How could anyone bypass these cities and reach Minjiang Pass?

Therefore, Cao Chun did not believe that his Minjiang Pass would be lost.

But the fact is, Lin Fan is now in Minjiang Pass, but they don’t know it.

"General Huangfu, what do you mean? Do you want to seize Minjiang Pass?" Cao Chun asked coldly.

Cao Chun could think of only one possibility for the loss of Minjiang Pass, and that was that Huangfu Qi seized Minjiang Pass. Apart from this, he could not think of even the slightest possibility.

But Huangfu Qi just smiled coldly and said: "If I want Minjiang Pass, why do I need to rob it? I just need to write a letter to the court. I believe that Minjiang Pass will naturally become my territory soon, so I don't need to rob it at all."

Cao Chun was stunned after hearing this. It was indeed true. If Huangfu Qi wanted Minjiang Pass, he only needed to write a letter to the court. With the power of the Huangfu family, Minjiang Pass could be merged into Sanguan County. At that time, Huangfu Qi would be his superior.

However, Huangfu Qi's words also dispelled Cao Chun's idea. If Huangfu Qi had no interest in Minjiang Pass, then how could Minjiang Pass be lost?

Cao Chun couldn't figure it out, but if possible, he didn't want to let Minjiang Pass be lost. After all, if Minjiang Pass was lost, not only would he be punished, but his source of income would also be cut off. Where would he get the money then?

Is he looking for a wealthy city? There are many richer places, but what does this have to do with him? He finally arrived at Minjiang Pass.

He originally planned to make some money, but now if Minjiang Pass is lost, he can't find another place like Minjiang Pass where he can make money.

Cao Chun was a little scared, but of course, he was more afraid of losing his source of income.

"General Huangfu, why do you say that Minjiang Pass will be lost? Please, General Huangfu, save me and the people of this city." Cao Chun said earnestly.

Huangfu Qi didn't have time to joke with Cao Chun, so he stated his guess simply and clearly.

"I guessed that Lin Fan would come to attack Minjiang Pass, so I brought troops to support him." Huangfu Qi said.

"Lin Fan? Didn't he go to attack Yangcheng? How come he came to my Minjiang Pass? Could it be that the imperial general guessed wrong?" Cao Chun asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The intelligence Cao Chun received said that Lin Fan was going to attack Yangcheng, and now the army had already arrived under the city wall of Yangcheng, so he was completely unprepared. If Lin Fan really wanted to attack Minjiang Pass, he would have attacked Luocheng first. Now that Luocheng has not been lost, how could he possibly bypass Luocheng to attack Minjiang Pass?

If he really knew that Lin Fan was going to attack Minjiang Pass, he would not have opened the city gates to make money now. He would definitely have taken sufficient precautions to prevent Lin Fan from attacking the city.

After all, he made a lot of money from Minjiang Pass. Up to now, the money he had was enough for him to live for the rest of his life, but Cao Chun still felt it was not enough.

For Cao Chun, money is something that will never be enough. Only by making money all the time can he experience the joy of life and feel that his life is valuable.

If he lost even this hobby, then he wouldn't know what to do with his life. He would feel that his life would lose hope and would be worse than death.

Huangfu Qi sneered. Everyone thought that Lin Fan was attacking Yangcheng, but she didn't think so. She always felt that Lin Fan did this to attack Minjiang Pass.

"This is just my guess, but I will be stationed at Minjiang Pass these days. I hope that Governor Cao can cooperate. If Governor Cao does not cooperate, I will naturally use some means, but I believe Governor Cao will cooperate." Huangfu Qi said coldly.

At this point, Cao Chun had no choice but to agree. There was no other way, as Huangfu Qi's family was powerful and Huangfu Qi himself was also very capable.

Huangfu Qi moved his chopsticks, finished talking to Cao Chun, and left with his men.

Cao Chun naturally arranged a place for Huangfu Qi's troops to be stationed, and very considerately provided them with food and fodder. Of course, this was just to flatter him, not because Cao Chun was so kind-hearted.

Huangfu Qi naturally accepted it. Although Sanguan County had a lot of food and grass, they still had to save as much as possible. This was also the foundation of Sanguan County. Now he came to help, so why should he consume his own foundation?

The Minjiang Pass became very strict after Huangfu Qi came. The soldiers guarding the city were replaced by Huangfu Qi's soldiers. Huangfu Qi usually had strict military discipline and would never allow his subordinates to embezzle or accept bribes, nor would he allow his subordinates to plunder the people's wealth.

So Huangfu Qi's army took over Minjiang Pass, and the tired people of Minjiang Pass were all overjoyed. Although the rules were much stricter than usual, no one exploited their property.

However, in comparison, the gray industry in the city is a little difficult because Huangfu Qi has strict control, so the brothels and other industrial chains in the city are all closed. If you dare to commit a crime against the wind, Huangfu Qi has only one word for you, and that is kill.

This series of changes also attracted Zhao Feng's attention. In order to avoid being exposed, Zhao Feng had been lurking in the city. Because he was afraid of being recognized, Zhao Feng never showed up in public.

"What's going on recently? Why is the city so strict? Could it be that Cao Chun has discovered it?"

"General Zhao, I don't think we should have been discovered. If we were discovered, Cao Chun would definitely search the entire city for us."

Zhao Feng nodded. Although they had not started a city-wide search, it was still difficult for them to open the city gates due to the strict search. Moreover, this behavior was designed to prevent anyone from attacking the city. This made people wonder if they were exposed, or if someone had leaked the information that they were going to attack the city.
