Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming and Cao Chuan looked at each other. This name surprised them a little.

Cao Chuan remembered the friendship between Guan Yue's father and Ye Shoujiang, so he said:

"If they are General Ye's subordinates, then we should call Xiaoyue over. She has more face."

"I think so."

After Qin Ming came back, he has been dealing with the affairs of the military camp.

I just happen to miss my little beauty.

"Then leave it to you?"

Song Dingsheng and Cao Chuan definitely couldn't invite Guan Yue.

"Ah."

Qin Ming actually did not impose any actual punishment on Wei Guangxun and the other man.

The reason why he placed them in his own military camp was to make Wang Shouyan in Qiantang City afraid to act rashly.

With Wei Guangxun in Qin Ming's hands, he can exaggerate Fang Wenliang's crimes at any time.

Wang Shouyan must know this.

In order to avoid this possibility, he would honestly hand over those prosperous shops to Qin Ming.

Song Dingsheng arranged for Guan Yue to live in a small courtyard in Linjiang City.

Three rooms plus a yard are considered very luxurious here.

This was also what Song Dingsheng prepared specifically for Guan Yue after he knew the relationship between Guan Yue and Qin Ming, in order to express his attitude and bring them closer.

Guan Yue wanted to stay in the military camp to help deal with specific matters.

But living in the military camp was not very convenient after all, so she was finally arranged here.

After entering Linjiang City, Qin Ming discovered that it was really different from the capital.

Even at night, the capital city is brightly lit day and night.

But the people in Linjiang City all go to bed when the sun sets.

Before late at night, the streets were already quiet, with only the candlelight of the night watchman swaying in the evening breeze.

The sound of the candles was long and faded away in the night.

"have you slept?"

Qin Ming took the key from Song Dingsheng, tiptoed to open the door, squatted in front of the bed and asked softly.

The room was silent, and Guan Yue didn't say anything.

Qin Ming smiled and bravely reached into the quilt and pinched it.

"what!"

The girl's crisp cry was heard immediately.

Guan Yue climbed up from the bed, her little face flushed.

Qin Ming lit a candle on the bedside and sat next to Guan Yue shamelessly.

The girl pouted and asked proudly:

"Sir, do we know each other well? You came to my bedroom in the middle of the night. Aren't you afraid that I will report you to the police?"

Qin Ming saw through her thoughts at a glance.

I guess Guan Yue felt that Qin Ming was too busy recently and neglected her.

Thinking of this, he chuckled and said:

"I won't touch someone I know. It's best if I'm not familiar with them. It's more exciting that way."

Qin Ming hugged Guan Yue in his arms and the two started playing around.

After a while, Guan Yue bit Qin Ming and then broke free and said:

"You just run away. The three guards are always at the border, and you don't care?"

"These are the imperial army, not mine alone. Just let them stay at the border."

Qin Ming has never interfered with the defense of the three guards.

They seemed to understand Qin Ming's thoughts and took good care of themselves.

Even after arriving in Lingnan, they still quietly went to the border to be stationed.

"But they are your army too."

Guan Yue was very surprised. Logically, Qin Ming should have started to attach importance to military power.

It is impossible not to respond to the border garrisons under his command.

"Well, let's wait for this."

Qin Ming had seen too many princes and emperors who had reduced their power.

This is the reason why we did not move the troops at the border and even drew a clear line with them.

If a huge amount of effort had been spent in the early stages to arm this army to the teeth.

Finally, the imperial court issued a document, which said, "Okay, the feudal lords will be reduced!"

Then I won’t even have a place to cry.

"Are you worried about Prince Jin or His Majesty?"

Guan Yue guessed Qin Ming's thoughts, and lay on Qin Ming's chest like a spoiled child, and asked curiously.

"Everyone is worried. There are few good people in the court."

"Are you a good bird then?"

"This...when there's a chance in the future, I'll let you try it."

Qin Ming's old face turned red and he muttered.

Guan Yue is a pure girl, so naturally she doesn't understand these dirty jokes.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally."

"Oh."

After chatting for a while, Qin Ming told Guan Yue about Han Mingrui's arrival in the past two days.

Guan Yue seemed to know Han Mingrui very well. When they mentioned him together, the girl's face was full of disgust.

"Han Mingrui? He's a gambler. Don't learn from him."

"Gambling addict?"

Guan Yue nodded and continued to introduce:

"Yes, he followed Uncle Ye on his campaigns. His annual salary, plus the rewards he received during the campaigns, earned him a thousand acres of fertile land, several mansions, and he married six wives...never mind, he lived a good life anyway."

"Later, he became addicted to gambling. He went out to gamble all day and lost everything at home. His wife also ran away. He also borrowed a lot of money from the military camp, but he couldn't pay it back in the end."

"Uncle Ye couldn't bear to see this, so after helping him pay back the debt, he expelled him from the army and sent him here."

I learned about Han Mingrui's beastly experience.

Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Ye is a decent man. He even helped him pay off his gambling debts."

Guan Yue quickly shook her head and corrected:

"What? At that time, when we were about to go to war, the generals under Uncle Ye were making a fuss. If they didn't pay him, they couldn't even take the soldiers out. Uncle Ye had no choice but to help him pay back the money."

This matter almost became a big deal at that time.

Thanks to Ye Shoujiang's intervention, giving money and appeasing the people, the matter was contained within the military camp and did not spread out.

Qin Ming didn't expect that in the end Ye Shoujiang would silently bear everything.

The thought of Ye Shoujiang with a dark face helping Han Mingrui pay back the debt made me feel a pang of anger.

Qin Ming couldn't help laughing.

Guan Yue saw his gloating look, climbed up, pinched him, and said with her hands on her hips:

"Don't laugh, Uncle Ye is a good man!"

"I know, but if Han Mingrui has such a strong personality, I'll know how to deal with him when he comes tomorrow."

Qin Ming originally thought that Han Mingrui had been following Ye Shoujiang for many years, so he must be an upright person.

Let's all talk things out together and keep our distance.

Now it seems that this guy's weakness is obvious.

Since the other party is not a decent person, Qin Ming has to take advantage of him.

The next morning, Qin Ming strolled to the outside of Song Dingsheng's house.

Song Dingsheng was having breakfast with his wife and children.

Seeing Qin Ming coming over, he quickly stood up and said:

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"I'm here to ask, is there a casino in Linjiang City?"

"casino?"

Song Dingsheng's body stiffened.

"Your Highness...are you okay with this?"

He was a little hesitant. He could take Qin Ming to any brothel or tavern to have a look.

But this casino is not a good place.

The key is that Qin Ming seems very interested.

Could it be that His Highness has picked up some bad habits...

"Of course not, my king. I came to you today to set a trap."

Qin Ming spoke lightly and had already begun planning the first step to control Han Mingrui.
