Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

He muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously stroking the edge of the invitation.

"This isn't an invitation... This is clearly an attempt to expose Tongbao Pavilion to the wrath of all the forces in the capital! He's using his face to silence us and tie our feet..."

He immediately looked at the secret guard beside him with a serious expression.

"Quick! Send a most urgent secret report to Boss Chu! Tell him that the bait has backfired. Your Majesty, please give your urgent instructions!"

At this time, only Qin Ming, the Emperor of Daqian, could make the decision.

The secret letter was transmitted through the fastest channel, transformed into invisible lightning, penetrated the darkness of night, and flew to the border of Shenmu Kingdom.

In an inn in the border area of ​​Shenmu Kingdom.

The flickering candlelight illuminated Qin Ming's young yet unfathomable face.

He unfolded Sun Jinshan's secret report, his eyes swept over those shocking lines, but a cold arc slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Hua Yunhong... is a tough guy who can endure humiliation."

Qin Ming's fingers tapped lightly on the imperial desk, making a soft sound that was particularly clear in the quiet study.

"You're planning to use the banquet personally to lock down my chess piece, stabilize Fang Yuanjian, and demonstrate to me at the same time? You've made a good calculation."

He pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing.

He saw Hua Yunhong's intention clearly.

Show goodwill to Tongbao Pavilion to appease Chu Ying and Qin Ming.

This is a feint.

In fact, it was an open control over Sun Jinshan and restriction of Tongbao Pavilion's freedom of movement.

He also sent a signal to Fang Yuanjian that the relationship between Shenmu and Tongbao Pavilion was still good, and that he should think twice before taking any action, thus buying himself time to deal with the silver crisis.

"You want to use my people as your shield and amulet? Hua Yunhong, you have quite a big appetite."

Qin Ming whispered.

"Your Majesty, this guy seems to have made this decision after careful consideration. We did not succeed in angering him."

At this time, Chu Ying on the side also slowly spoke out his thoughts. They originally wanted to make the other party fall into emotional fluctuations and even make some mistakes.

But in fact, Hua Yunhong did not have these problems, and he even made some good judgments calmly.

This also made many people around feel very worried.

If the other party's realm is so high, it means they still have a long way to go in the future.

The fight will last a long time.

"It doesn't matter. If he was defeated so easily, he wouldn't be such a powerful person and he wouldn't have climbed to this position."

Qin Ming spoke lightly.

He then picked up a pen, dipped it in cinnabar, and wrote a few lines of sharp comments below the secret letter.

Qin Ming's purpose was very simple. He ordered Sun Jinshan to go directly to the banquet.

At least he couldn't lose in terms of momentum. As for attending the banquet, he should also prepare a generous gift, which at least could not be weaker than Hua Yunhong's.

Finally, Shang Fangyuan was called to join the banquet.

In this way, it would not just be Tongbao Pavilion standing in front of Hua Yunhong.

And there is Fang Yuanjian.

After experiencing war for a period of time, Fang Yuanjian actually no longer had much desire to continue fighting.

Therefore, he would definitely agree to go with him and mediate the dispute.

As for their silver, it will continue to be transported at this time as long as they delay enough time.

By then, it wouldn’t matter even if Fang Yuanjian and Sun Jinshan were under control, as these triggers could still be used to intimidate Hua Yunhong.

Sun Jinshan, who received the secret order from the carrier pigeon, carefully read Qin Ming's comments.

The tense nerves finally relaxed a little, replaced by a cold excitement.

His Majesty's response was more sharp than he had imagined!

"What a great way to break the lock with movement, the silver stream never stops!"

A cold light flashed in Sun Jinshan's eyes, and his previous solemnity turned into sharpness.

In fact, he originally thought so, but this decision certainly could not be made by someone of his level.

What Qin Ming said happened to hit the nail on the head.

Just take this opportunity to try something.

After thinking of this, he immediately called his men over and started making arrangements.

"Hua Yunhong wanted to cage the bird in a golden cage, but His Majesty wanted the bird to flutter in the cage, overturning his banquet, and letting the hungry wolf outside the cage think that the master wanted to eat the bird's food alone!"

"Boss Sun, what should we do?"

After rushing over, several secret guards looked at Sun Jinshan curiously. Sun Jinshan then slowly said:

"Continue with the mission."

"The treasury silver from the three southern counties will immediately begin to be secretly transferred, with the target being Mobei. Follow His Majesty's instructions, leaving a trace, but not a large one."

"Then you...?"

They all looked at Sun Jinshan, because Sun Jinshan had another important thing to do, which was to go to Shenmu City for a banquet.

"go."

Sun Jinshan prepared to attend the banquet, found the most luxurious dress, and prepared a speech that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

But before that, he had to contact Fang Yuanjian.

After doing all this, Sun Jinshan walked to the window and looked towards the direction of the palace.

It was as if he could penetrate thousands of miles and see Hua Yunhongzhi's smug look as if he was about to lock him down.

He took a deep breath.

"Your Majesty has bestowed upon me a generous gift. I shall return the favor at tomorrow's banquet."

"I never thought that after following Daqian for so many years, I would be able to influence the entire dynasty one day. It's really exciting."

Sun Jinshan was originally just an ordinary local shop manager, but since he started working for Daqian together with Chu Ying, he has been trained in many of the affairs on their side.

There is a saying that goes, "True gold fears no fire." Just like at this time, he received very good training.

And now it is finally time for him to take charge. In fact, this matter could not be left to him originally because Chu Ying is usually here.

But this time, Chu Ying followed Qin Ming to explore the border area.

So this extremely heavy task fell into the hands of Sun Jinshan.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be very worried.

However, Sun Jinshan had been waiting for this opportunity, because he had previously applied to Chu Ying and wanted to go to the east to manage Tongbao Pavilion.

However, Chu Ying never let him go.

The reason for this is not because Chu Ying is jealous of the other party's ability or status catching up with his own.

On the contrary, he really hoped that he could have some people come to help him, but he didn't know how to talk to Qin Ming.

This time, I followed Qin Ming out to investigate.

He left it to Sun Jinshan to do because he wanted to record some of Sun Jinshan's achievements.

At that time, it will be convenient to propose to Qin Ming to transfer Sun Jinshan to the east to manage the entire Eastern Tongbao Pavilion.

On the other side, after Hua Yunhong sent the message.

Undercurrents surged beneath the royal capital.

All the nobles were paying attention to this banquet and were also paying attention to whether they had been invited to it.

Whether or not they could participate in this Hongmen Banquet, which appeared to be a feast for the eyes but was actually filled with swords and spears, also represented their status.
