Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Qin Ming's guess was correct after the news that Hua Yunhong was going to the southern border of Shenmu Kingdom came out.

Chu Ying sent someone back to the Datong Sect.

"Elder Xuanfeng, Boss Chu hopes you can increase the smuggled goods."

"How much?"

Xuan Feng, who was specifically responsible for connecting with Chu Ying, frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled.

Some time ago, Tongbao Pavilion sent people to negotiate with Chu Ying and started cooperation.

After hearing the news, Xuanfeng couldn't help but sigh that this group of people were really bold.

Just when he didn't know what this group of people were thinking, Qin Ming told them the answer.

In fact, the person behind Tongbao Pavilion as rumored by the outside world was not Hua Yunhong.

But those nobles who were against Hua Yunhong.

Over the years, Hua Yunhong has taken action against many political opponents in order to consolidate his position.

Although a stable situation appeared on the surface, the forces opposing him within the Shenmu Kingdom were gradually brewing, stirring up a violent storm.

This also explains why when Fang Yuanjian chose to rebel against the court, even though the situation was clearly one-sided, many people were willing to support him.

It’s not that they don’t understand the situation, they just want to use Fang Yuanjian’s hand to help them take revenge on Hua Yunhong.

Of course, all this happened in secret and not many people knew about it.

On the surface, they just need to continue to push forward smuggling.

In order to supply them with materials, Xuanfeng opened several special smuggling routes in several cities at the border between the Western Regions and Western Shu.

The Western Region Allied Forces have been dragged on the battlefield and don't know much information.

Liu Qin in Western Shu discovered the abnormality early on.

Combined with the news of a smuggling case in the Shenmu Kingdom, Liu Qin easily understood the truth of the matter.

But he didn't show any action.

Instead, he continued to play dead and pretend not to see.

After all, they had just experienced Qin Ming's expedition and the killing of high-level craftsmen, so they did not dare to cause trouble again.

"Ten times more than before. Tongbao Pavilion's intention is... to finish the job before Hua Yunhong gets here."

Faced with Xuanfeng's numerous inquiries, several people quickly reported the situation to him.

Xuanfeng frowned.

"What happens after that?"

With Daqian behind them and several cities serving as warehouses, they can provide ten times the amount.

After giving it, Tongbao Pavilion took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.

After eating and drinking enough in one go, will you still support their smuggling in the future?

Hearing Xuanfeng's question, several people hesitated and said:

"Well... they said that after this trip is over and Hua Yunhong comes over, Tongbao Pavilion will not show up to cooperate with us."

"Hate him so much, yet be so afraid of him?"

Xuanfeng was speechless for a while.

Tongbao Pavilion has no shame at all, but wants to take all the benefits.

He asked them to increase the supply tenfold without taking any risk himself, and retreated before Hua Yunhong arrived.

This means that Chu Ying has to take the blame for them and bear the responsibility for the crazy smuggling alone.

Even if Hua Yunhong discovered the smuggling, he could not involve Tongbao Pavilion.

How could such a good thing happen in the world?

"This matter is a bit unreasonable. I can't make a decision. I need to seek the opinion of His Majesty first."

Xuanfeng asked them to wait here for a while.

He quickly mounted his horse and galloped towards Qin Ming's headquarters.

Their battle has come to an end in the past few days.

For some unknown reason, after the Shenmu Kingdom's troops crossed the mountains and entered the Western Regions, they actually began to stay in place to recuperate.

This hesitant way of marching seemed to be related to the problems that had arisen within their territory.

Although Mu Liuming was repeatedly urged by the Western Regions Allied Forces, the Allied Forces' general Qian Wanli kept writing letters to him asking him to send troops.

But he always just fought on the periphery.

In addition, Qin Ming's command locked the Western Region coalition forces in place, leaving them no chance to connect with Mu Liuming's forces.

This gradually weakened the momentum of the dying Western Region coalition forces.

In the fierce multi-line battle, Qin Ming finally had time to breathe.

"Your Majesty, Tongbao Pavilion has come up with a new plan."

Xuanfeng found Qin Ming and reported the current situation to him.

Qin Ming sneered and said:

"If Fang Yuanjian's problem isn't resolved, I might consider it again."

"Now... have Chu Ying tell them that the supply of goods will not change. If they are willing to cooperate in smuggling, then we can cooperate. If not, the Datong Sect will not beg them."

Hearing this, Xuan Feng on the side immediately said with full support:

"Okay, I'll go tell them right away!"

He had previously felt that when he was smuggling with Tongbao Pavilion, the other party made too much money.

In contrast, Chu Ying also earned some money during his sheltering process.

But the gap between what they expected was too big.

Many sect members in the transport team felt that this was unfair, and some even complained to Xuanfeng.

But they were all suppressed by Xuanfeng.

He is not a meddlesome person and generally he just needs to deal with small matters internally.

So he did not report these problems to Qin Ming.

In other words, this time the other party made even more excessive demands, which he felt was a bit excessive.

Only then would they specifically find Qin Ming and report the situation.

A few days later, Chu Ying and the people from Tongbao Pavilion met in the wild.

The person in charge of the other party was a middle-aged man named Qi Yuanhuang.

"Boss Chu, have you guys agreed? Hua Yunhong will be here in less than half a month. If you can't deliver the goods within half a month, we may not be able to help you make money."

Although Qi Yuanhuang said that he could help Chu Ying make money, his words were full of threats.

"After discussion among the higher-ups of our sect, we have decided to reject your request. Their condition is to continue the cooperation based on the original supply volume. If you are willing to accept it, we can continue the cooperation. If you really cannot accept it, there is nothing we can do."

Chu Ying shook his head and spoke calmly, telling them Qin Ming's decision.

After learning that the other party had such a reaction, Qi Yuanhuang's eyes widened and he looked at Chu Ying in disbelief.

"Are you crazy? Boss Chu."

"Without the power of Tongbao Pavilion, it would be a foolish dream for you to spread your goods throughout the Shenmu Kingdom."

"Maybe, but it doesn't matter."

Chu Ying nodded, his tone still calm.

There was no point in Qi Yuanhuang being angry with himself. The decision was not made by him, but by Qin Ming behind the scenes.

Although he didn't know why Qin Ming did this, after so many interactions with Qin Ming, Chu Ying understood that the other party's perspective was different from his own.

His considerations would definitely be more comprehensive than his own, so at this time he also firmly rejected Qi Yuanhuang.
