Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Let's go and take some people over to attack them."

There were hundreds of horse-drawn carriages for this transport, guarded by more than 3,000 military personnel.

After entering the territory of Western Shu, the soldiers in the entire army actually relaxed.

If they were in the wild, they might be a little more cautious.

But the people above discussed with the emperor of Western Shu and let them in.

It means that cooperation has been reached between the two parties.

The danger of the transport team is greatly reduced.

The long journey and continuous transportation made many of the transport team soldiers very tired.

Seizing this opportunity, many people fell into a deep sleep. No one would have thought that someone would actually attack the city at this time and directly touch their side.

Even when Fang Yuanjian led his Bookmark Troops into the houses where they lived, many people still thought they were just soldiers on night patrol.

But just when they were sleeping soundly, the sound of Fang Yuanjian and others drawing their swords from their sheaths quickly alerted them.

"What's going on? Who are you?"

"There's an attack!"

The panicked transport soldier immediately climbed out of bed, but the moment he got out of bed, a steel knife stabbed directly into his chest.

They wore no armor and carried no weapons.

In front of Fang Yuanjian's well-prepared and well-armed troops, the gap was like that between an eagle and a chick.

"How is this possible? Why is there such a large army attacking us in Western Shu?"

Before they died, they couldn't understand why someone came in?

After blocking the entire city in advance, Fang Yuanjian launched rounds of massacres in the city.

It took an extra six hours to ensure that no soldier in the transport team survived and that no one would spread the news.

They left the place the next afternoon.

When they left, there were no living members of Hua Yunhong's army in the entire city.

All the supplies in their hands were taken away by Fang Yuanjian.

On the other side, the action just now was also very quick.

He led his main force, nearly 15,000 men, and plundered transport convoys along both routes.

They made six trips to transport more than 800 horse-drawn carriages back to Yuanwangling.

All this happened within two days.

So much so that at this time Liu Qin and Hua Yunhong still thought that their deal had been reached.

Hua Yunhong even delivered the silver he had promised to Liu Qin early on.

The reason for giving things in advance is simple.

In his opinion, the Shenmu Kingdom is a top power.

Therefore, when doing business with these small countries, we must maintain the demeanor of a big country.

Don't be fussy about the order of these transactions. It won't sound good if it gets out, and it will also affect the newly established relationship between the two countries.

After Liu Qin received cartloads of silver from the other party, the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time finally relaxed a little.

When these convoys arrived in the capital, he even came to greet them in person, followed by dozens of ministers.

They are all his confidants.

Everyone was delighted to see so much silver, and everyone was so excited that they couldn't help but want to know.

This was the largest income they had made in recent times, and they were able to earn so much just by letting Hua Yunhong go.

"Your Majesty of Xishu, this is the silver we traded. Please take your men to count it."

The soldier arranged by Hua Yunhong walked up and spoke to Liu Qin.

Liu Qin nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take inventory."

"You have all come from afar and have taken so much trouble. I have already ordered some wine to welcome you all."

"If you all don't mind, and if you have time, I hope you will do me the honor of accompanying me into the palace to taste it."

Although they were well prepared, Hua Yunhong's troops became convinced along the way after entering Xishu that they were indeed a small country.

The situation in the entire Western Shu does not seem to be prosperous, and may even be somewhat poor.

This situation made them look down on Western Shu even more.

There's no point in staying in a place like this.

So, not wanting to eat their food, the leading soldier waved his hand and said:

"It's my duty, no need to be polite."

"Your Highness is still waiting for us to report back, so we won't stay here any longer. We will leave after you complete the inventory."

"That's fine."

Liu Qin didn't want to trouble them any more, so he quickly arranged for people to count the silver on the scene.

After receiving the amount of more than seven million taels, his eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, the soldier arranged by Hua Yunhong also walked to Liu Qin's side, clasped his fists and said:

"Our Highness is very much looking forward to having a deeper cooperation with you. If you are interested, why not write a letter and talk to our Highness?"

After confirming the silver, the other party finally revealed the theme of this time.

Liu Qin understood that what Hua Yunhong meant by in-depth cooperation was to let Xishu join their camp and work together to destroy the Datong sect.

This would not only support the countries in the Western Regions, but also allow the Shenmu Kingdom to gain a vast territory.

But they have just been punished by Daqian, and if they act rashly, they will most likely continue to be targeted.

He was still very cautious in making decisions, especially when joining the Shenmu Kingdom camp.

"I'll consider this."

"I hope you can think about it carefully. We will leave now."

The other party nodded and then left.

For the people of Shenmu Kingdom, Xishu is just an insignificant place. Like Daqian, they are too lazy to fight for such a resource-poor place.

Watching them leave, Liu Qin slowly relaxed. He took a deep breath, then quickly turned around and said to several of his officials:

"Put half of the silver into the treasury, and use the rest to allocate funds for various construction projects of the imperial court."

They have been very poor recently. The imperial court originally needed funds for construction in various places, but after running out of silver, construction in many places was stopped. With this silver, they can finally start again.

The salaries of officials that the court had been in arrears with for some time could finally be paid.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After receiving Liu Qin's order.

Everyone was as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

With money, they could make a living by taking advantage of others, and their good days finally recovered briefly.

Tight days can also be improved.

But what they didn't know was that just when the court of Western Shu was in jubilation.

An urgent military intelligence report quickly reached Hua Yunhong.

"Oh no, Your Highness!"

“Something big has happened!!”
