Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming had long seen through his timidity.

So she stared into his eyes quietly and said:

"Have you ever killed anyone?"

Qin Yue gritted his teeth and did not answer.

But his reaction said it all.

Qin Ming continued:

"Since you and the Xiao family have always been a thorn in my side, and I feel that I am the biggest obstacle to your taking over the position of crown prince, then I will give you a chance."

"Without the protection of our father and the support of the Demon Concubine, let's have a fair fight."

"Compared to what?"

Qin Yue took a deep breath, forced himself to hold down his shaking legs and asked.

"Comparing courage."

Qin Ming walked forward and took out a crossbow from the waist of a court soldier.

Then he took out six crossbow arrows and broke off the arrowheads of five of them.

There was only one crossbow bolt and the arrowhead left.

After throwing six crossbow arrows into the crossbow, Qin Ming shook the crossbow arrows casually and said with a smile:

"There's only one crossbow bolt in there that can kill. How about we each take one shot and fight until we die?"

"You...you're crazy!"

Qin Yue was startled and quickly took a few steps back.

Qin Ming still looked calm.

"Scared?"

"Haven't you and your son always wanted to kill me?"

"This is your best chance to kill me, but the price is only your own life."

As he spoke, he handed the crossbow to Qin Yue.

"The chances of dying are much lower if you do it for the first time. As your brother, I won't take advantage of you."

Qin Yue looked at the crossbow so close to him and his face turned pale with fright.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement.

Yu Zhengqing and others in the distance clenched their fists.

To be honest, they hoped that Qin Yue would fight Qin Ming.

But they are not Qin Yue, so naturally they can't force him to make a decision.

As for Qin Yue, after a long time, he still did not move.

"If you don't dare to do it even once, how can you compare with me?"

Qin Ming looked at him coldly, then suddenly placed the crossbow on his chest and pressed it gently.

Click.

"Your Highness!"

The crossbow arrow hit Qin Ming's chest heavily, leaving only a white mark on his clothes.

"I'm lucky, it's your turn."

Qin Ming continued to stretch out his hand and aimed the crossbow at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue's face flushed red.

Yu Zhengqing and others also frowned slightly.

They all say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is far inferior to the King of Qin, and today they have finally witnessed it.

"Not even once?"

Qin Ming frowned. Qin Yue's performance was really unexpected.

Snapped.

He threw the crossbow to the ground helplessly.

"It seems that your biggest enemy is not me."

Turning around, Qin Ming prepared to leave.

But at this time, Qin Yue was suddenly overwhelmed by anger.

He picked up the crossbow on the ground!

Just when everyone thought he was going to continue with Qin Ming.

Click, click, click!

Qin Yue actually aimed the crossbow at Qin Ming and pulled the trigger repeatedly!

"I want you to die!!"

Qin Ming waved his sleeves and swept away the crossbow arrows that were shot one after another.

He did not kill Qin Yue, but said disdainfully:

"Shameful wretch."

Even Yu Zhengqing spat at this moment.

"Let's go, brothers!"

Qian Cai, who was far away, saw this and yelled at Qin Yue:

"You don't dare to gamble, and you still cheat after losing. Is this how the Demon Concubine taught you?!"

The soldiers watching the battle also booed again and again.

A man wouldn't do such a thing.

But Qin Yue did it.

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Qin Yue shouted angrily:

"I am the Crown Prince of Daqian. Why should I gamble my life with a traitor?"

"He's not worthy of gambling his life with me! I want him dead, I want him dead!!"

Snapped!

A slap hit him in the face, and Qin Yue's face swelled up visibly.

The person who took action was Qin Ming.

Qin Yue widened his eyes in disbelief.

"You dare to hit me! I am..."

Snapped!

Qin Ming slapped him to the ground.

"What a shame, Yu Zhengqing, take him back!"

"it is good……"

Yu Zhengqing sighed, picked up Qin Yue, who was seeing stars, carried him on his horse and quickly took him away.

On the warhorse, Qin Yue heard Qin Ming's voice coming faintly.

"I could have killed you today, but after seeing you, I realized I was wrong."

"Just the two of you are not worthy enough to be my opponent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ming walked through the crowd and left.

"Your Highness, how is the battle going?"

Sitting in the car, Chen Shimao took the initiative to ask Qin Ming.

Qin Ming told him about the recent relatively peaceful situation.

Hearing this, Chen Shimao suddenly frowned.

"I think the two princes probably don't want to lose their troops at your hands, but they won't give up so easily. His Majesty is pressing very hard."

"If the imperial court's support slows down and they still force a fight against you, what will they do..."

Chen Shimao fell into deep thought.

Soon, he thought of a problem.

"Your Highness, how is your relationship with the Western Regions?"

"There are many countries in the Western Regions, and they are a mixed bag. My relationship with them is neither good nor bad."

Qin Ming heard Chen Shimao keep mentioning the two princes, so he asked curiously:

"What's the matter, teacher?"

"That's the Nanman."

Chen Shimao's voice dropped. If it were the current Emperor Qian, he was absolutely certain that the other party would do such a thing.

"You mean... the Nanman will attack Lingnan?"

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows, feeling something was wrong.

Cao Chuan and Chang Baishan had told him before that in order to resist the imperial army, they summoned all the personnel in the rear at once.

But this will inevitably create gaps in defense.

In the past two years, Qin Ming has been purchasing rubber from the Nanman people and has also traded with them in numerous industries.

The exchange of silk, cloth, grain, livestock and other materials brought about great changes in the lives of the southern barbarians.

Chen Shimao knew all these things when he went to Lingnan.

Nanman has received so many benefits from Qin Ming. If they still attack him, they will be digging their own graves.

Apart from Qin Ming, they could not find so many resources to allow them to develop steadily.

"Yes."

"Teacher, I don't think so."

Qin Ming frowned and shook his head. He didn't believe these people would take action.

But Chen Shimao said:

"The imperial court has money and food, and can negotiate countless benefits with the southern barbarians. If Lingnan is conquered by them, they can also seize endless wealth."

"People are short-sighted, and the Southern Barbarians are even more so. If a single wave of wealth could allow them to accumulate wealth that would take decades to accumulate, they would definitely take the risk."

"Let me ask you, the two princes have been in the Changhe River Basin for some time. Have you ever seen them?"

Hearing this, Qin Ming immediately became alert.

Since these two princes are not here, they may have gone to the Southern Barbarians to negotiate with them.

Only their identities are enough to bring the Nanman to the negotiation table.

"I understand. I hope the teacher can help me."

Since the Southern Barbarians might pose a threat, Qin Ming had to minimize the threat in advance.

"What's the deal?"

"I want to abolish all court organizations in Lingnan and Huxi and put you in charge!"
