Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After the palace of Shenmu Kingdom finally quieted down.

Mu Liuming's troops also began to gather towards Shenmu City.

Hua Yunhong took the opportunity at this time when everything was in ruins and issued a number of decrees.

Without exception, all of them were targeting the former mechanical workshops.

Those that should be abolished will be abolished, and those that have not been abolished will have their spending reduced.

Because it was a national event, Tongbao Pavilion's newspaper quickly wrote about all these measures.

People on the streets began to discuss these decrees.

"Do you know that our court is about to change!"

"This is definitely the right choice. Those diehards have already been executed. Your Majesty truly has divine help!"

The people were very excited.

Some people even started to have heated discussions about national affairs in the tavern.

This appearance seemed to be a result of a very in-depth study of the future path of the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

But most people, when discussing this, just speculate based on what’s in the newspaper.

There aren't many real insights.

This is what many people like to do after reading the newspaper or after dinner.

Compared to the heated discussions among ordinary people.

There were much fewer discussions in the court of Shenmu Kingdom.

The reason is that there have been too many changes in the court recently.

At this critical juncture, whoever controls the military power will have the power to speak.

This is also why Hua Yunhong gave up external suppression at the first opportunity and allowed Mu Liuming, who was on the edge of the border, to return with a large army.

With military power in hand, no one dared to force Hua Yunhong at this time.

It is foreseeable that there will likely be another bloody storm in their court in the near future.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Qin Ming.

Qin Ming, Chang Baishan and Ning Shuang's carriages left Shenmu City.

Continuously approaching the south.

This time their journey was not very smooth.

There were some obstacles during the return process.

Some martial artists who still wanted to earn the bounty formed some small groups.

Keep hunting them down.

He attempted to kill Qin Ming with his own strength and take Qin Ming's tens of millions of taels of silver into his own hands.

Because the Shenmu Kingdom kept silent about the deaths of Duanmu Jiang and others.

This matter is so sensitive that Tongbao Pavilion has limited its reporting scope to the area around Shenmu City in recent days.

They wanted to wait until Hua Yunhong stabilized the situation before reporting on the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

This led to the fact that all the martial artists who came one after another thought that the bounty was still there.

Fortunately, they did not cause too much trouble to Qin Ming.

These people's methods are far inferior to those of the court of Shenmu Kingdom.

Qin Ming didn't even bother with them.

Just let the secret guards take action and they can be quickly dealt with.

Qin Ming did so, and they spent several days cleaning up these scoundrels.

It didn't even delay the journey.

Because too many people were killed.

The news that Qin Ming killed a group of so-called chivalrous men of the martial arts world spread far and wide.

There were some fearless people who wanted to test the waters.

After all, people in the martial arts world have nothing but courage.

But after so many days, no one has been able to successfully deal with Qin Ming.

There was also some hesitation in their hearts.

In addition, there are constant rumors about Qin Ming.

Some people even described Qin Ming as a man-eating yaksha.

The more you travel, the more mysterious it becomes.

Considering the battle record, it sounds scary. Who would dare to come?

When Qin Ming was halfway there, he found peace.

That day, he and Chang Baishan Ning Shuang came to a county town with a group of guards.

After several days of running around, they finally had time to rest.

As soon as they sat down, Chang Baishan and Ning Shuang ordered some food casually.

After a few drinks.

Chang Baishan, who was sitting next to Qin Ming, asked a question that he had always been curious about.

"Your Majesty, the recent situation in the Western Regions has been almost resolved. Apart from those remaining small forces that are still recruiting troops and trying to disrupt the Western Regions again, there haven't been many major events. Why do you suddenly want me to go back?"

Hearing his question, Qin Ming put down his chopsticks.

"Your assessment of the situation in the Western Regions is correct. It's already stable and doesn't require too many people stationed there to maintain it. However, I have a small goal that has yet to be achieved."

"What goal?"

"Cut off the roots of these scattered forces!"

Qin Ming's words stunned Chang Baishan.

Without giving him time to ask, Qin Ming explained on his own:

"Recently, many major forces have chosen to join us, but there are still some who are unwilling to join us, and are unwilling to leave this land. They can only be enemies of Daqian."

"But they are extremely weak. Their own strength alone is not enough to overthrow the entire Western Region."

"Then what else is there to say? I don't think it's anything worth paying attention to."

Chang Baishan had been staying in the Western Regions with Liu Chuang and others before.

I've also gotten to know these people.

Most of them are small-scale forces composed of local gentry.

There is definitely no ability to attack Daqian.

The reason they gathered together was simply because they wanted to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits.

This will allow you to gain some capital to survive in troubled times.

Qin Ming and others had originally not intended to care about this group of petty parasites who just wanted to gain benefits.

There is a saying that goes, "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

There is no need to get rid of all these things that don't make any waves.

But after living in the north for a while.

This group of people were not suppressed, and logically speaking, the case should have been brought to light if they had earned some benefits.

But on the contrary, these people have formed an omnipresent force.

It constantly obstructs some of Daqian's infrastructure construction here.

This made Qin Ming very angry.

"Just them?"

After listening to Qin Ming's explanation of the whole story, Chang Baishan was suddenly shocked.

How could such a thing be possible?

The personnel and armed forces of Daqian here are at the dynasty level.

A strong dragon crushes a local snake.

But that's exactly what happened.

"Although this group of people are weak on their own, when their forces come together, they have brought enormous trouble to the entire Western Region."

Qin Ming spoke lightly, and Chang Baishan immediately grasped the key point.

"You mean someone can bring them together? That's impossible. Who would dare to recruit these forces to fight against Daqian under your nose?"

Chang Baishan remembered that Qin Ming had started to recruit them a long time ago.

If these people were willing to turn from darkness to light, why did they choose the enemy instead of the powerful Daqian?

Logically speaking, Daqian is the most worthy of reliance among the many dynasties at present.
