Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chu Ying nodded.

The brother he was talking about was Mao Huairen.

He had thought about calling Mao Huairen back before.

But at that time, he was not considered a core member of the Datong sect.

In addition, there is always a fog shrouding this place.

He didn't dare to call all his confidants from outside.

Now that Qin Ming has explained everything to him, he should gather all these trusted members.

After reorganizing with the Datong Sect, we will seek revenge against the Western Regions Allied Forces!

Although this force is not under his control.

But with their strength, they can still help me seek revenge on the Western Region Allied Forces.

A few days later, Chu Ying brought a few confidants and quietly came to Mao Huairen's hiding place.

There are no more than a handful of people in the entire Western Regions who know about this place.

This is a remote valley surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

After helping Chu Ying find the Datong Sect as a retreat, Mao Huairen did not come.

Instead, he took his men and hid in the valley, intending to come out after the war was over.

But he didn't expect that his peace and quiet would be disturbed like this.

When they come over.

I found that a small village had been formed here, and people coming and going went into the mountains to hunt and dig medicinal herbs.

Some people are cultivating the land at the foot of the mountain, preparing to farm here.

It seems that they are preparing for a protracted war here.

"Boss Chu, Mao Huairen's camp is ahead."

A confidant whispered.

Chu Ying nodded and looked at the camp in the distance with complicated eyes.

Originally, he thought that he could easily call out Mao Huairen with his face, but when he saw the other party's situation, he suddenly felt a little worried.

"You guys wait here, I'll go in alone."

Chu Ying said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, the confidants all hesitated.

"But my lord, if you go in alone, it may be dangerous."

"I will naturally inform you if there is any danger. You can retreat first."

"Yes……"

This kind of person looked at me and I looked at him, but in the end I couldn't beat Chu Ying, so I had to hide in the woods and vigilantly observe the movements around me.

Chu Ying walked towards the camp alone and was soon stopped by several guards.

"Stop! Who is it?"

The guard shouted sharply.

They all felt as if they were facing a great enemy. After all, they had been living here for about a month and no outsider had ever found this place.

Mao Huairen told them a long time ago.

If an outsider finds this place, it means that their current life, which is still barely maintainable, will be disrupted.

Chu Ying smiled, his tone calm.

"I'm Chu Ying, here to see Mao Huairen."

The guard's face changed when he heard this, and he obviously recognized Chu Ying's identity.

They looked at each other, their hearts trembling.

"You...wait a moment."

After saying this, a man hurried into the camp to report.

A moment later, Mao Huairen came out with several of his men.

He was of burly build, with a weathered look on his face, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Chu Ying, why are you here?"

Mao Huairen asked with a frown, a hint of caution in his tone.

Chu Ying stepped forward and said gently:

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"It doesn't matter whether it's hard or not, it's all about living for yourself."

With just one sentence, Mao Huairen almost drew a line between himself and Chu Ying.

Especially what he said, for himself.

It means that he will no longer continue to follow Chu Ying as before.

Chu Ying's heart sank when he heard this.

Mao Huairen looked around the surrounding mountains and forests cautiously. After confirming that no large army was approaching, he turned to Chu Ying and asked:

"Is there anything important that brings you here today?"

"I came here this time to talk to you."

Mao Huairen narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"Chat? You are now a member of the Datong Sect, what else can we talk about?"

"I've heard that you gave them all the silver you had. I'm curious what kind of magic these people have that allowed you to give them all your wealth."

"Now I even regret introducing you to them."

"Do you know that that silver is our last hope for a comeback?"

Although he was in the deep mountains and forests, Mao Huairen seemed to be very aware of the news outside, especially what Chu Ying had done.

Dozens of carts of silver were transported from outside to the Datong sect every day.

This matter could not be concealed by either the Western Region Allied Forces or Mao Huairen.

Chu Ying didn't want to hide it from him.

He sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Huairen, the Western Region Chamber of Commerce is finished. There's no need for us to fight for that empty shell anymore. You and I should have a better way out."

"Shut up!"

Mao Huairen clenched his fists and glared at Chu Ying with anger on his face.

"Is this your answer? You've changed. If you came here today just to lobby for the Datong Sect, you can leave now!"

He ordered Chu Ying to leave without any explanation.

A group of militiamen around them immediately surrounded them with unfriendly expressions.

Chu Ying did not leave, and said sincerely:

"Huairen, we are brothers. I don't want to see you die in vain. As long as you are willing to submit to the Datong Sect, we will definitely have a place in the future of the Western Regions."

Mao Huairen sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Chu Ying, when did you become so spineless? The Western Region Chamber of Commerce is finished, but I'm still alive. Is it your turn to persuade me to surrender? Now that you're here today, I look down on you!"

Chu Ying felt a pain in his heart and didn't say anything for a long time.

He knew that Mao Huairen was dissatisfied with his choice.

But he couldn't possibly tell Qin Ming's affairs in front of so many people.

"Could you please come with me so I can talk to you in private?"

"No need. They are all my brothers now. If you have anything to say, just speak in front of all of us."

Mao Huairen simply waved his hand and stood where he was, not following Chu Ying.

Seeing this, Chu Ying no longer concealed it.

"Huairen, the trend of the times is irreversible. There's no need for us to go against it. The Emperor of Daqian has already stepped forward personally. The situation in the Western Regions is irreversible. If we continue to resist, we will only die in vain."

Mao Huairen was silent for a moment, then said coldly.

"You mean to say that Qin Ming is behind the Datong Sect?"

“No wonder, no wonder…!”

At this moment, Mao Huairen figured out a lot of things.

But he did not soften because of Qin Ming's appearance.

On the contrary, he waved his hand and said to Chu Ying in a decisive tone:

"Chu Ying, you don't need to say anything more. Our brotherhood ends here. If you dare to persuade me to surrender again, don't blame me for being rude!"

It seems that things are beyond redemption.

Chu Ying was silent for a moment, then slowly turned around and left the camp.

He did not leave, but returned to their camp outside the mountain.

Sitting by the fire, Chu Ying couldn't calm down for a long time.

Chu Ying knew very well what Mao Huairen's choice meant.

He still wants to fight for it.
