Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

the other side.

Duan Siming, King of Nanzhao.

They were sitting in the tent at this time. Compared with Beimang, there were quite a few people coming.

But at this moment, there were few people in the tent, and it was quite deserted.

The autumn wind blew up countless fallen leaves on the ground, making people feel cold.

It is already past the beginning of autumn, and the autumn wind is lonesome now. In a while, winter will come and all trade routes will be cut off.

Therefore, during this season, many merchants take out their goods in advance and sell them as quickly as possible on the trade routes.

Therefore, during these few days, although there was war, the trade routes were not disturbed by the troops of Shenmu and Daqian.

On the contrary, it is becoming increasingly prosperous.

This was also due to the restraint of the generals in the troops on both sides.

They also understood that these places were their own foundations as well as the foundations of the other party, and no one was willing to move.

Just when desolation and bustle alternate.

Duan Siming, who was in the tent, was listening to his subordinates' reports with a smug look on his face, his heart pounding with emotion.

"Your Majesty, we have arranged ambushes along many trade routes."

"We have now controlled dozens of major trade routes, and no one in Daqian and Shenmu cares about us."

"The daily output of each trade route is over a thousand taels of toll money, and it has been over a month!"

Through his relationship with Daqian and Shenmu Dynasty, Duan Siming took advantage of the power of others and charged exorbitant tolls and taxes to merchants.

Such behavior is actually extremely despicable in the eyes of everyone.

If it were a big country, it would not do this.

This not only makes you lose face, but also gives you something to talk about.

Only because Nanzhao was a small country could it gain many benefits without being afraid of losing face.

In just this one month, they had already gained the golden medal of immunity from death from both Daqian and Shenmu.

As a result, they obtained hundreds of thousands or even millions of silver.

Such a profit made him give up the idea of ​​taking sides.

Take sides?

There is no such pleasure as having the best of both worlds and making profits from it.

"Humph."

Duan Siming snorted disdainfully and said sarcastically:

"I don't know what we're fighting for, and no one's profiting so far. How can we not make anything out of this good war?"

"A bunch of idiots, no matter how big a dynasty they control or how many troops they have, they still benefit from it!"

Speaking of this, Duan Siming's square face suddenly wrinkled and ripples appeared.

He is laughing.

"With these millions of taels of silver, Nanzhao's weapons, armor, and military supplies will all be able to move forward."

"No matter who wins or loses, after this battle, Nanzhao will be able to expand its territory, and no one will raise any objections!"

When he mentioned the words "expanding territory", Duan Siming's heart began to pound wildly.

This is an honor and fame that will go down in history.

The emperor of a small country like Nanzhao does not have such an opportunity.

"Report!"

Just when Duan Siming was feeling proud.

A voice suddenly came.

The person who came was a military messenger, responsible for transmitting intelligence.

"Is there something urgent? You look so flustered."

Duan Siming looked at his men in surprise.

Logically speaking, what they are doing now is neither big nor small, and can basically be ignored compared with the other two major powers.

But these negligible areas can make them earn huge amounts of money, while both sides are busy with war.

No one will pursue it too much. It is very likely that after the war, they will make a big deal out of a small matter.

Even if someone is dissatisfied, Duan Siming will show some sincerity and make a special visit.

As long as he gave some gifts and expressed his loyalty, neither Daqian nor Shenmu Kingdom would lower themselves to pursue his faults. That was why he thought he was invincible at this time.

Even if there is something urgent, it is definitely not about me.

As expected, after he asked these questions, his men immediately said to him:

"It's Beimang. Their king... is dead."

"What!?"

When hearing these words, even Duan Siming couldn't help but take a breath. Whether they were on the Daqian side or the Shenmu Kingdom side, they all participated as assistants.

No matter what, they will definitely not take action against those countries that provide assistance.

Who would dare to help them in the future?

It was precisely because of this restraint that Duan Siming was able to travel unimpeded and intercept many important roads.

Collect tolls.

But now the situation seems to have changed, and those who are not reckless don’t know what’s going on.

He had actually provoked the other party and even got killed, which made him feel a deep sense of crisis.

Could it be that the war between them has entered a white-hot stage and there is no chance to take care of these small countries?

Just as he was thinking about this, the person next to him suddenly said:

"Beimang... plundered them."

"What? Who did you rob?"

In Duan Siming's eyes, even if the other party was extremely daring, it was impossible for them to attack the people of Daqian and Shenmu Kingdom at the same time. However, the fact was just as he thought. After hearing his question, his men immediately spoke up:

"They were all robbed."

"what?"

Duan Siming could hardly believe his ears. He thought he was very brave, but in fact his level was still a little worse than others.

You know, the three kingdoms have indeed provided assistance, but who are they helping?

Not sure.

At this time, someone actually dared to commit a crime against the wind, and even took this opportunity to rob two countries, both of which were major powers. This was truly brave, and even Duan Siming felt that he had to admire him.

But it was this situation that caused a huge rift between them.

"What a mistake!"

Duan Siming soon figured out the key to this and quickly beat his chest in anger.

"By doing this, our alliance becomes nothing but empty talk. If the other side takes the opportunity to suppress us, we won't be able to do any business. This is really stupid."

To be honest, up to now, Duan Siming felt that he had been a bystander and had gained huge benefits from it. If this situation could continue, it would definitely be the best for him.

But now a fool has disrupted the situation. Wouldn't they also be held accountable for kidnapping Shanglu?

If the enemy takes this opportunity to wipe out the Nanzhao Kingdom, Duan Siming will have no place to cry.

It is precisely for this reason that Duan Siming felt that he had met a group of stupid teammates.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

At this time, the subordinates were also a little panicked. They quickly started to ask Duan Siming. Duan Siming didn't understand at this time because he really didn't want to give up the advantage he had worked so hard to build up.

After thinking for a moment, he whispered:

"How about this, you guys continue to collect tolls first, and as for the matter of the two big countries, I will handle it myself."
