Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Have you confirmed their location?"

Qin Ming spoke vigilantly, and Chang Baishan said:

"I found out, but I'm not sure I can kill all the people who came this time, so I came back to get help."

"A lot of people are coming?"

"Yes."

In a one-on-one fight, Chang Baishan can definitely kill the opponent's elite.

The fact that he was defeated only shows that the other side has a lot of people.

"It seems these guys have learned their lesson."

Qin Ming stood up, walked to the corridor, and waved to Song Dingsheng who was eating downstairs.

"what's up?"

Seeing that Qin Ming's face looked a little strange, Song Dingsheng quickly put down his chopsticks and trotted up.

He was shocked when he learned the details.

"They must have found out something, Your Highness, we must be careful!"

The remaining shadow guards dared to come out in full force and appear in front of Qin Ming at this time.

This means that they must have some specific information.

For example, Qin Ming falsified accounts to reduce the taxes paid to the court.

It is also possible that smuggling has been discovered. If smuggling is really discovered, the situation will be very bad.

"Gather the men and have them follow Lao Chang."

"Yes!"

Song Dingsheng did not dare to delay and hurried down to gather everyone.

Qin Ming quickly led Chang Baishan downstairs and onto his horse. Before leaving, he said to Song Dingsheng:

"Come here, I'll tell you a few things."

Song Dingsheng hurriedly approached Qin Ming and listened to what he said in his ear.

"Okay, okay... I understand."

The rain is getting heavier.

Qin Ming rushed in the direction Chang Baishan said.

On the way, I asked him:

"Did you fight with them?"

"We fought. They tried to kill me, but I escaped."

"These bastards."

Qin Ming frowned, the menacing look of the shadow guard set off alarm bells in his heart.

As an intelligence organization, they know a lot about Qin Ming.

He also knew that Chang Baishan was the best expert around Qin Ming.

If you want to deal with Qin Ming, you need to kill Chang Baishan and remove his left and right arms.

"Your Highness, being ambushed by them is nothing, but now you have to think clearly about how we should face them."

At this time, Chang Baishan reminded Qin Ming from the side.

"Of course we kill them. Are we going to negotiate?"

Qin Ming spoke as a matter of course.

Those who want to achieve great things cannot hold beautiful fantasies in their hearts all day long.

It is absolutely impossible to negotiate with them.

The person standing behind the shadow guard is Emperor Qian.

"I see."

Chang Baishan nodded slowly.

Soon, everyone walked through the pouring rain and arrived at a dilapidated temple at the end of the street in the south of the city.

"There are thirteen people here in total. The leader is very skilled in martial arts, probably even better than the two Shadow Guard captains who committed suicide in front of us."

Having said that, Chang Baishan continued:

"I suspect... this is the leader of the Lingnan Shadow Guard."

"understood."

Qin Ming, wearing a straw raincoat, jumped off his horse and walked straight to the door of the thatched hut.

"Now that you're here, why are you still so timid and afraid to confront the king directly?"

"We all know your Highness's methods. We dare not show up directly when we meet on your territory."

A man in a black robe with his face covered with a black cloth pushed open the door and slowly walked out of the dilapidated temple.

This should be the Shadow Guard Commander that Chang Baishan mentioned.

The position of commander is to be in charge of all the shadow guards in Lingnan.

"What do you want to do by monitoring me?"

Qin Ming didn't waste any words and looked at the other party coldly.

At the same time, Chang Baishan took a step forward and stood beside Qin Ming.

In the heavy rain, it is difficult to notice everything around you.

But Changbai Mountain can.

Just as the other party appeared, several figures appeared in the darkness, each occupying a favorable position and ready to attack Qin Ming and others at any time.

"Your Highness, you smuggled and made a lot of money."

The Shadow Guard Commander's voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that he was pretending.

Not afraid of the heavy rain, he slowly walked out from the eaves and walked in front of Qin Ming.

"We lost hundreds of our men, but it doesn't matter."

"Your methods of concealing the truth were truly impressive. They caused us to lose our focus for a while... until later, I heard about the dispute between you and the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce."

……

"If these things were reported to the court, His Majesty would certainly credit us with great merit, and you would suffer a terrible fate."

There was a hint of pride in his tone.

Shadow Guards are the best at gathering intelligence.

Even though Qin Ming had set up such a big plan, he still couldn't escape his sharp eyes in the end.

After finding out what Qin Ming had hidden, they were naturally very excited.

Qin Ming frowned and said:

"so what?"

"I don't want to report this directly to His Majesty, as that wouldn't be good for you either. Now, there's a way to have the best of both worlds. Would you like to hear about it?"

As he spoke, the shadow guard took out an account book.

"This represents the court's expenses for the past six months. If you are willing to disband the army and support the court's development, Shadow Guard can ask His Majesty to forgive you for this incident. How do you do that?"

The commander's words were beautiful.

Helping Qin Ming solve the problem was actually taking his life in disguise.

Without an army, Qin Ming would be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Even so, he was still required to donate all the money he earned to support the imperial court.

It was a strategy that killed two birds with one stone, but he made it sound as if Qin Ming had taken advantage!

"Do you think that's possible?"

Qin Ming raised his head and looked at the guy who was sure of victory.

Chang Baishan took a step forward, and the guards around him were all ready to take action.

But at this time, the commander smiled.

"Your Highness, this is not Linjiang City, nor is it your military camp!"

"A lot of our Shadow Guards have come here and they really want to kill us to silence us. Are you sure you can do it?"

"As long as one person escapes, your crime will still be reported to His Majesty!"

"Not only you, but also the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce and the Wuwei Camp will all be severely punished!"

The Shadow Guard Commander's voice became even more proud.

In his opinion, Qin Ming now has no choice.

If he dispersed his troops, at least he could still survive.

If the army is not disbanded, additional compensation will be given to the court.

It is possible that you will be demoted to a commoner within a month!

Faced with the other party's provocation, Chang Baishan also frowned slightly.

He whispered to Qin Ming:

"Your Highness, we really can't stop all of them."

The other party knows Qin Ming's methods.

Preparations must have been made before Chang Baishan brought Qin Ming here.

"Look at your condescending tone. The people in the court are really all cut from the same cloth."

Facing this group of shady rats, Qin Ming's expression remained calm.

This made the Shadow Guard Commander a little strange. At this moment, Qin Ming suddenly asked:

"You brought a lot of people with you to investigate this time, right?"

Since victory was already certain, the Shadow Guard Commander did not hesitate to hide and said in a condescending tone:

"Yes, this time the remaining Shadow Guards are here to check on you. This has never happened in decades, so your loss is well worth it!"

"All hands on deck?"

Qin Ming suddenly laughed.

"It's just right. I'll kill you all today, and Lingnan will be at peace!"
