Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

He acted as if his crime had really been exposed.

This made the two shadow guard captains even more certain that something was wrong with Qin Ming.

"You killed quite a few of us, you need to give us an explanation."

"What do you mean by killing your people? All I encountered along the way were bandits."

Qin Ming shook his head seriously.

"Among them are Shadow Guards."

The Shadow Guard Captain frowned, but finally spoke.

Qin Ming was obviously pretending to be ignorant.

But they had no intention of arguing; stopping him from smuggling was the most important thing.

"You're spying on me?"

With his eyes wide open, Qin Ming pointed at them and yelled angrily.

"The Shadow Guards need to control a lot of Daqian's intelligence, so they will inevitably come into contact with you. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

The two shadow guard captains were feeling helpless at this moment.

As they spoke, it seemed as if they were in the wrong.

It was obviously Qin Ming who killed so many of their men.

"Get out of the way. I'm not smuggling, and I don't have time to waste on you."

Qin Ming spoke coldly and waved at Chang Baishan.

Chang Baishan immediately led his men to prepare to break in by force.

But at this time, a voice came from a distance.

"Your Highness, the soldiers on the border between Daqian and Xishu are not something you can just bring with you."

As everyone turned their eyes, they suddenly saw a burly figure walking slowly towards them from a distance.

This is the border guard, Chenpi.

Last time, he was defeated by Liu Chuang and returned home in disappointment.

"Chenpi, do you also want to join forces with them to stop me from doing things?"

Qin Ming frowned and spoke in a cold tone.

Chenpi shook his head.

"Your Highness, smuggling is a serious crime. Please let them take a look. If it's not, I will let you go myself."

"But if you don't even dare to let others see it, I'm afraid that's unacceptable, and I won't be able to report to you."

Chen Pi didn't have any resentment towards Qin Ming.

What he said makes a lot of sense.

However, Qin Ming was procrastinating today, and it was obvious that there was something wrong.

The atmosphere at the scene reached a freezing point.

There were already many soldiers stationed at the border in the rear, and they began to reinforce here, fearing that Qin Ming would break through.

"You keep calling me smugglers, but what if I'm not smuggling?"

Qin Ming looked at the two shadow guard captains angrily.

These two people have relatively high status and are definitely people who have a say.

"After investigation, if Your Highness is not guilty, then we have delayed your important task. We are willing to commit suicide to ashamed of our sins."

Qin Ming didn't react much after listening to what the two said.

The shadow guards were considered the emperor's death squads. In their eyes, committing suicide was not a big deal.

He turned and looked at Chenpi.

"General Chen, you've delayed this important matter for me. What if I hadn't smuggled anything?"

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with me. I can't die as an apology, can I?"

Chen Pi gave Qin Ming a strange look on his face.

We were talking fine, why are you still thinking about your own life?

"How about this, if you're not smuggling, please give my trade a little more leeway in the future, how about that?"

"understood."

Chenpi nodded helplessly.

At this time, Qin Ming took the initiative to jump off the horse.

He drew out the sword in his hand and made a hissing sound!

He split the black cloth covering the cargo.

The lime was scattered and the sunlight shone on it, revealing traces of light from top to bottom.

"I'm going to use it to build a road, but you're blocking my way here. Just tell me if it's going to delay things or not."

“Is this… lime!?”

The expressions of the two shadow guards suddenly changed!

They didn't expect that Qin Ming would make such a big fuss that it attracted almost all the Lingnan Shadow Guards.

The last thing delivered was lime.

It is also lime used for road construction.

"But, my lord, what do you want with the lime?"

Chenpi looked confused.

"It's just a road to facilitate trade."

Qin Ming replied casually.

With a bang, the sword was thrown to the ground.

"Let's do it."

The two shadow guard captains were also unambiguous.

He raised his sword and committed suicide here.

"Why make such a fuss..."

Chenpi covered his face and looked at Qin Ming helplessly.

Looking at the two people lying on the ground, their vitality was gradually draining away.

Qin Ming walked forward and whispered in their ears:

"I lied to you. Actually, I did smuggle. Guess when it started?"

"Well……!"

The two of them widened their eyes and looked up in disbelief.

But by this time they were speechless.

He could only take his last breath with his eyes wide open.

"General Chen, the shadow guard is dead. Please report the situation. I will come to do business in a few days. Please be accommodating."

Turning around, Qin Ming looked at Chenpi with a smile.

Chen Pi was originally a general at the frontier and never cared about the struggles within the court.

As long as the responsibility does not fall on your head, you can do whatever you want.

"Got it. Your Highness, please don't come to me so often. My temple is too small to accommodate your golden statue."

"Don't be too confident. Maybe you'll be glad I chose you first."

"It would be an honor."

Chenpi turned around and waved goodbye.

Qin Ming led his soldiers back.

As for cement and road construction, that was just a casual remark.

At least this time, Qin Ming has killed most of the shadow guards in Lingnan.

"Your Highness, you are so cruel."

While riding in the carriage, Chang Baishan stuck his head into the carriage and praised Qin Ming excitedly.

"When you get back, you'll find something even more brutal."

Qin Ming spoke with a smile, which made Chang Baishan immediately unhappy.

"Why don't you just say it directly? Why do you have to keep it a secret?"

"No."

Qin Ming shook his head lightly.

Chang Baishan is good in every way except that he loves gossip too much.

Take this opportunity to temper his temper.

"Ugh."

Chang Baishan sighed and had to speed up.

The journey back was smooth. After killing some scattered shadow guards who surrounded them at the end, they returned to the military camp in seven days.

Wan Shu is here too.

Seeing Qin Ming, she came forward excitedly.

"It's done."

"Is everything done?"

"Ah."

Wan Shu nodded heavily.

Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's continue building the road. We'll use this method from now on."

Only at this time did Qin Ming tell Chang Baishan about his arrangements.

In fact, his smuggling was fake, and Wan Shu was the real one.

After Qin Ming confronted the shadow guard with great fanfare, he began to use the method of interweaving the cement convoy and the smuggling convoy.

For example, this time, he was transporting cement, while Wan Shu was controlling some cement and freight fleets, and started smuggling half-truthfully.

Even the understaffed shadow guards couldn't find any trace of them!

After this trip, they made a lot of money.

We haven't paid any of the 60% tax to the court, but we've already made a fortune!

"Where's the account book?"

Thinking of this, Qin Ming couldn't help but feel excited.

He couldn't wait to look at Wan Shu.

Wan Shu looked around, personally pulled Qin Ming, and quickly came to the accounting office of the military camp.

“It’s all here.”
