Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

The person behind the scenes that Chu Ying mentioned was Qin Ming.

However, Qi Yuanhuang did not understand what he meant and just thought that he was very loyal to the Datong sect.

After taking a deep breath, he said:

"Hua Yunhong is here. If you can survive three days, someone will come looking for you."

His words were considered as a promise to Chu Ying.

After hearing this, Chu Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Qin Ming's method of arranging things for him was extremely tough, he actually got things done in the end.

Ever since arriving in the Shenmu Kingdom, Chu Ying has been trying to impact their market. He has tens of millions of taels of silver in his hands, and with the support of Daqian, he continues to provide goods. After buying back and forth, he has already bought a small part of the military supplies of the entire Shenmu Kingdom. This has even caused a great impact on their market in the south. However, Hua Yunhong later discovered this problem, so he mobilized a batch of supplies from the central region and sent them to the market, forcibly curbing Chu Ying's actions.

The Shenmu Kingdom has a vast territory and profound heritage.

After actual teaching, Chu Ying also understood how huge their market was.

With their background, Chu Ying wanted to quickly leverage and disrupt their market. However, it was impossible to control the entire court, so he had to take it slowly.

After Chu Ying and Tongbao Pavilion ended their meeting.

In Shuilian County, Lu Fang was kneeling trembling in front of a general, this person was Changsun Huo.

He had already arrived at the front with his own 50,000 troops.

He originally planned to take over the entire battlefield after arriving at the location, but his subordinate Lu Fang brought him unexpected trouble.

"You mean the Thousand Machine Stick is lost and all your men are dead?"

Chang Sunhu narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Fang.

At this time, Lu Fang was so frightened that he couldn't control himself.

With a trembling voice, he reported the situation and explained:

"General, I really can't stop them. I suspect they've called in some foreign troops for assistance."

"It's very likely that they are from the Datong sect."

"Bullshit, if you have no ability, then you have no ability. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

The eldest grandson slapped him in the face.

After so many years in the military camp, he also knows the character of the people under him.

When you are not doing well, it is best to exaggerate the enemy's ability, so that at least you can appear not so incompetent.

Lu Fang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He didn't know how to explain for a moment, but he actually felt very aggrieved in his heart.

But this time, Changsun might have really wronged him.

The enemies Lu Fang faced were not only the remnants of Fang Yuanjian, but also Liu Chuang's Fire Camp.

It’s a pity that neither Lu Fang nor Changsun Huo had ever fought against Daqian’s troops.

Otherwise they would quickly realize that this was the support arranged by Daqian and that Qin Ming was interfering in their war.

"Why are you mute? Can't you speak anymore?"

The eldest grandson kicked Lu Fang so hard that he rolled several times on the ground.

Lu Fang didn't dare to say a word, and quickly got up and continued to kneel on the ground.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Chang Sun Huo had no choice but to kill him directly, and he would not be able to give an explanation to Hua Yunhong who was about to arrive.

After thinking about it, he snorted coldly and said:

"You lead the vanguard to kill some of Fang Yuanjian's troops and redeem yourself from your crimes. If you die, die outside. If you can come back alive, I will speak well of you in front of His Highness."

The vanguard army was the first group of troops to entangle Fang Yuanjian.

Now everyone knows that Fang Yuanjian is preparing to cross the border and find a new place to base himself.

Anyone who manages to tangle with him would be considered to have done a meritorious service, but the pressure he would have to endure would certainly be enormous.

Fang Yuanjian's troops numbered tens of thousands.

Chang Sun or the large force here must deal with the local smuggling problem first, after all, Hua Yunhong has already spoken.

Therefore, there are not many people who can be handed over to Lu Fang.

If he ran over there, it would be tantamount to seeking his own death.

But this is Lu Fang's only solution if he can't even do this kind of thing.

If he died outside, at least he would be buried on the battlefield, and his reputation would not be ruined if the news got out.

Being able to come back is a life-threatening situation.

Changsun might have a chance to save Lu Fang's life when Hua Yunhong punishes him.

After all, he has followed me for many years.

Although what he said was unpleasant, when the accident really happened, Changsun Huo still gave him a chance.

"Thank you, General. Thank you, General!"

Lu Fang was pardoned and looked at Changsun Huo with gratitude.

The eldest grandson might not even want to look at him again.

The mess Lu Fang made this time was really huge.

"Three thousand at most. Go lead the troops yourself."

He waved his hand impatiently and turned away.

Looking at his departing back, Lu Fang's eyes gradually became firm.

With three thousand men and his remnants, there should be less than four thousand troops available.

Regardless, it's an opportunity.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Fang got up from the ground, brushed off the mud on his body, and immediately went to lead the troops.

Soon, their troops, led by Lu Fang, rushed towards the border.

The departing Changsun Huo received an order from Hua Yunhong.

"General, His Highness sent a letter asking you to lead your men to seal off all local merchant warehouses, with a special focus on investigating Tongbao Pavilion!"

"Sure enough."

Changsun must naturally be aware of the situation within the court.

The people standing behind Tongbao Pavilion have begun to become docile in recent years as Hua Yunhong's power has gradually stabilized.

But no one knows what they really think in their hearts.

The reason why this smuggling incident caused such a sensation and had such a bad impact was because of it.

It is very likely that it is related to the Tongbao Pavilion spread throughout the Shenmu Kingdom.

"Each city will be assigned 300 elite soldiers. Blockade them simultaneously. Don't give them a chance to escape."

"Yes!"

That night, columns of troops took advantage of the cover of darkness and quietly sneaked into the major cities.

With the local governor Cao De giving advance notice, they did not alarm anyone. Instead, they pulled the defenders in the city and quickly blocked all the shops and streets.

"What are you doing? Who are you?!"

"Behave yourself! If you scream again, I'll chop you off!"

"Help!"

"Killed!"

All the wealthy businessmen and gentry in the city were controlled at the same time in the middle of the night.

Hua Yunhong's methods were extremely brutal.

Those who knew him thought he was investigating smuggling, while those who didn't thought he was raiding houses.

Judging from the situation, it seems that they are going to turn all the cities on the southern border upside down!

Tongbao Pavilions in various places were also searched.

But they are obviously more sophisticated.

Apart from a few warehouses that were found to have problems with the goods, not much evidence was found.

But apart from them, the ordinary landlords and wealthy businessmen who participated in smuggling were in trouble!
