Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The candlelight in the secret room on the top floor of Tongbao Pavilion flickered, and Qin Ming tapped on the secret report presented by the secret guard with his knuckles.

The above clearly outlines several prominent families of the Shenmu Kingdom.

The Sun family, the Liu family, and the Li family.

By disguising themselves as the remnants of the Red Blood Alliance in a caravan, they obtained the rare minerals that were unique to Shenmu, secretly cast mechanical parts, and even well-trained assassins.

A path that continuously feeds into the Western Desert.

These supplies are nourishing the poisonous snakes lurking in the shadow of the Qin and Ming Empires.

"Remove the firewood from under the cauldron and cut off the weeds at their roots."

Qin Ming's eyes swept over Elder Song who was standing beside him.

The voice was calm but with a metallic sound.

"They want to light a beacon fire in the heart of the Western Regions, but I will make them extinguish their own flames with their own hands. Three fronts, simultaneously."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, what they need to do is not just to deal with the Red Blood Alliance hidden in the Western Regions.

There is also the livelihood of the lower-class people in the Shenmu Kingdom.

And their war with Hua Yunhong.

All of these problems need to be solved by Chang Baishan and Liu Yueli leading the people of Daqian to take action personally.

Changbaishan’s target is the transfer point in the Ghost Canyon on the edge of the Western Regions.

The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is the last checkpoint for supplies to reach the hands of the rebels in the Western Regions.

Chang Baishan did not mobilize a large-scale army, but personally selected 300 of the most elite secret guards and the former Red Blood Alliance to surrender.

The assassins who were familiar with the other side's tactics all changed into colorful armor and broken mechanical weapons captured from the Red Blood Alliance, which had different emblems on them.

The moon was dark and the wind was strong, with bonfires dotting the canyon.

"Do it!"

Chang Baishan let out a low roar, like the cry of an owl at night.

There was no unified command, no orderly charge.

The three hundred rabble-rousers fought like real bandits.

They roared in various dialects, brandished a variety of weapons, and fiercely attacked the defenders of the stronghold and the handover team.

The secret guards perfectly played the role of greedy, vicious and disorganized gangsters.

The battle instantly fell into a chaotic stalemate.

Chang Baishan himself was like a ghost, holding a poisoned dagger in his hand and targeting the enemy leader.

The movements are as fast as lightning and as ruthless and deadly as hell.

"They're the scum from the Black Sand Gang! They want to rob their fellow gang members!"

"Bullshit! They're obviously Yin Jiu's men!"

These people have good insights.

Because he used to be the leader of the Wulin Alliance here, Chang Baishan had the assistance of many forces.

These martial arts sects randomly assigned some people to come over and train them for a few days under his guidance.

They had already formed a fighting force, and now this force was quickly engaging the enemy on the battlefield. However, because they were assembled from various sources, the Shenmu Kingdom troops could not even recognize where the enemy came from.

In addition, their weapons are varied, and sometimes normal formations are simply unable to withstand the enemy's invasion.

In the chaos, it was difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and suspicion and fear spread rapidly.

This is exactly the effect Changbaishan wants.

"Haha, all of you will die here today. This is the price you will pay for bringing dirty things into our Western Region."

After completely disrupting the situation, he blew a sharp whistle and his men retreated like the tide.

They set fire to the stockpiled supplies, leaving behind only a mess of corpses and blazing flames.

There were also several tattered waist badges engraved with the logos of different small forces in the Western Regions that were deliberately "left" at the scene.

The intelligence scroll presented by the leader of the secret guards looked particularly heavy under the dim oil lamp.

Qin Ming's fingers ran across the words that were soaked with sweat and stained with dust.

It records in detail several deeply rooted aristocratic families in the Shenmu Kingdom.

How to use his vast industries and personal networks across the kingdom to carry away the endless stream of treasures left behind by the Western Regions along the dangerous border trails.

Finally it disappeared into the vast Gobi Desert.

The delivery points are precisely the remnants of the Red Blood Alliance and the tribal forces with ulterior motives that are lurking like poisonous sores in various places in the Western Regions.

"Oh, I see. I didn't expect that in just a few days we could find out how their things were transported in, and how they transported the supplies and treasures away."

"It seems that those big families didn't lose much after joining the Red Blood Alliance."

Elder Song felt somewhat helpless.

They originally thought that these big families and forces had all invested real money to come and help.

But now it seems that they not only want to disrupt the Western Regions, but also want to get a piece of the pie from the chaos.

"Yes."

Qin Ming's voice became low, and the candlelight danced in his eyes, reflecting the coldness of a deep pool.

"I thought the Red Blood Alliance was just a pawn of the Shenmu Kingdom, using it to disrupt the Western Regions. I never imagined they were actually a symbiotic entity."

"These termites eat the food and drink the blood of the sacred tree, but secretly give their bones and muscles to the poisonous snakes that intend to subvert the foundation of my Daqian Western Region!"

He slammed the scroll shut, making a soft snap that was particularly clear in the silent tent.

Anger swirled in his heart, but Qin Ming quickly suppressed it.

Anger won't solve the problem; it will only expose flaws. He took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the map of the Western Regions spread out on the table.

Under the newly acquired intelligence, the marked secret camps of the Red Blood Alliance and the suspicious tribal strongholds now seemed to have become greedy mouthparts that were sucking nutrients through the umbilical cord of the Shenmu nobles.

"The instability in the Western Region stems from this!"

"If these termites are not eliminated, the civil unrest in Daqian will be difficult to quell, and the hidden dangers in the Western Regions will remain! We must cut this umbilical cord!"

He immediately summoned the commander of the secret guards who was responsible for integrating intelligence from the Western Regions.

"Pass on my secret order, everyone move out immediately! Target all major trade routes within the Shenmu Kingdom for the Northern Lin Clan, the South Sea Li Clan, and the Longxi Ancient Clan, especially the border trails and secret ferry crossings! No need to capture witnesses, no need to keep anyone alive for questioning."

"But Your Majesty, our people just raided them two days ago. If we go again now, won't we be exposed too quickly?"

"So what if I'm exposed?"

Qin Ming shook his head slowly. With their current strength, they were not afraid of being exposed.

"Your mission is to paralyze their transportation at all costs, while being as covert as possible!"

"Burn the supplies, destroy the roads, and kill the escort caravans!"

"We must prevent these supplies, not even a grain of rice or a piece of iron, from reaching the hands of those rebels in the Western Regions!"

"I will let the Red Blood Alliance and their mastermind starve to death in the cold wind of the Western Regions. I will also make those big families completely give up the idea of ​​going to the Western Regions. No matter how much they eat, they will vomit it out."

"As ordered!"

Elder Song's voice was as cold as a tempered blade.

He knew that this would be an unprecedented infiltration and sabotage mission deep into the heart of Shenmu.

Fighting against the entrenched aristocratic forces is fraught with danger.

But the order was given by the emperor himself, with a clear goal and great significance.

"in addition……"
