Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

People in high positions are always very realistic.

This is more realistic than the saying that when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down that Chu Ying has heard.

Knowing that it was meaningless to give these troops, Fang Yuanjian gave the order early.

After bringing Chu Ying to a safe place, you can return to the city.

But if they leave, Chu Ying's life will probably be even more difficult in the future.

I guess I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear the news of his death in a few months.

Seeing Chu Ying's gloomy expression, he patted his shoulder and said:

"Boss Chu, think positively. At least you still have money. Running away and becoming a carefree rich man is also a good choice."

"I've come this far, how can I just be a local tycoon again?"

Chu Ying shook his head slightly, his tone full of unwillingness.

I have seen a bigger world and tasted the tempting taste of power.

Who would be willing to live in a corner and spend the rest of their life?

"Excuse me for being blunt, but Mr. Chu, your chances of winning aren't very high right now. Forget about anything else, just take the Datong Sect. Their power is already several times greater than yours at its peak."

"The merchant-run method of governing the country is no longer viable. You might as well go and see them."

What I just said makes

Chu Ying was startled when he heard this.

He naturally knew about the Datong Sect, which had been flourishing in the Western Regions in recent months, with believers spread all over the place.

Its influence is so extensive and intertwined that it has already penetrated into every aspect of the Western Regions.

They appear calm on the surface, but secretly control many key nodes.

Whether it is business dealings or military deployments, they are present.

"General Fang is absolutely right. How could I not know how powerful the Datong Sect is? But back then..."

Chu Ying hesitated to speak, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

At first, he was blinded by his temporary victory.

He thought that he could do it with the wealth and connections he had accumulated in business.

He could easily establish his own territory in the Western Regions, but he completely underestimated the strength of all the forces, especially the Datong sect hidden in the dark.

Seeing him like this just now, I sighed slightly and said:

"Boss Chu, don't be too discouraged. The world is unpredictable. Even if you fail today, who knows if you won't be able to make a comeback tomorrow? You still have some capital on hand. Find a safe place to lie low for a while and wait for the opportunity. Maybe there will be a turning point."

Chu Ying smiled bitterly and shook his head. He knew in his heart that it would not be easy to turn the situation around.

The morale of the Western Regions coalition forces was high after repelling the Western Shu army.

With the Datong sect constantly disrupting the situation behind the scenes, their next step must be to completely eliminate unstable factors like him.

His capable assistants died or scattered in these successive battles.

The rest were also in panic and had lost their fighting spirit.

"General Fang, if you leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle this alone."

Chu Ying's voice was somewhat sad.

He looked embarrassed just now, although he sympathized with Chu Ying's situation.

But he could still figure out who his master was.

"Boss Chu, I can't help myself. Please take care of yourself. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you as long as we can."

Although these words were polite, they were also sincere. After all, during this period of cooperation, Chu Ying had treated him and his soldiers well.

After everyone left, Chu Ying sat alone in the tent, looking at the flickering candlelight, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

He recalled his past when he started from scratch and the days when he traveled back and forth between various cities in the Western Regions.

It was easier then.

Chu Ying, who was able to get along with everyone, spent several years earning a huge amount of money. When he just established the Western Region Chamber of Commerce and was surrounded by people, he actually had the idea that this was the best the world could be.

But now, all this is like a dream and is about to disappear.

It turns out that even if you have money, you can’t defeat these powerful people.

Just as he was immersed in his memories, a confidant hurried into the tent and said in a panic:

"Boss, this is bad! The Western Region coalition forces are starting to gather towards us. It looks like they're about to launch a general attack!"

Chu Ying stood up suddenly, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes:

"Why are you panicking? How many people are here?"

"About seven or eight thousand."

"Gather the troops at hand, fight and retreat at the same time, there is no need to keep entangled with them."

"Yes!"

The confidant took the order and left, while Chu Ying quickly walked out of the tent and looked at the enemy torches faintly visible in the distance, feeling a chill in his heart.

After a while, the remaining troops of Chu Ying finished forming up in front of the camp.

Although the number is small and the morale is low.

But everyone knew that if a militia like theirs was caught, they would die.

Thinking of this, they all clenched their weapons, ready to fight to the death and escape.

On the other side, the Western Region coalition forces surged in like a tide, and the shouts and cries of killing shook the earth slightly.

Leading the charge was the Western Region Allied Forces.

There are some strange guys around.

Apart from the Western Region Allied Forces, Chu Ying, who was eager to survive, did not notice the guys who had sneaked in.

His remaining troops came into close combat with the Western Regions coalition forces, and fighting broke out instantly.

Relying on their large numbers, the coalition forces launched a fierce attack, rushing towards Chu Ying's team like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

Although Chu Ying's militia fought desperately, they were ultimately outnumbered and their defense line was quickly torn open.

The soldiers fell down screaming, and their blood dyed the ground beneath their feet red.

Seeing this, Chu Ying was filled with grief and anger. He waved his sword and rushed into the enemy camp himself, trying to stabilize the morale of the army.

"Who is that?"

At this moment, someone suddenly spoke loudly, his face full of fear.

Chu Ying also turned his head and looked into the distance. Suddenly, he was stunned.

He was horrified to find that among the coalition forces there was a group of people in gray robes with fanatical eyes.

They shouted the slogans of the Datong Sect, fearlessly charging forward.

The simple farm tools in their hands were used as weapons, and they madly attacked anyone who stood in their way.

These people have obviously been completely brainwashed by the Datong sect. They completely disregard their own safety and only want to realize the absurd ideal of so-called "return to farming."

While the two armies are fighting.

People from the Datong sect also sneaked in and attacked them indiscriminately.

The Western Region coalition forces were not afraid of the enemy's attack because they still had a lot of strength hidden in the dark, but Chu Ying could not bear it at all.

He didn't have many people to begin with, and he was hoping that they could take this opportunity to break out with him.

The emergence of the Datong Sect extinguished his last bit of hope.

Just as he was lamenting his rough fate and his life was about to end.

A voice suddenly came from a distance.

"You go quickly, I'll cover your rear!"

The person who came was Mao Huairen.

At this critical moment, he actually brought people to support.

"But if I leave, what will you do?"

Chu Ying looked at his friend of many years, his heart filled with panic.

Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Chu Ying waved his hand and said:

"As long as there is life, there's hope. I've already contacted the Datong sect. If you're willing to join forces with them, there might still be a chance. You go ahead. If I'm still alive in two days, I'll come find you."
