Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"No way, this is absolutely impossible."

Linghu Yuan took a few steps back. In fact, he had already thought of a serious situation in his mind, but he didn't dare to say it.

If this is true, they will be under tremendous pressure in this battle.

"Everyone come back!"

"Stay here and don't move any further!"

"Quickly notify the other troops and be sure to pay attention to the mines on the ground!"

"I will go back now and report this news to the general."

Linghu Yuan did not dare to delay for a moment. He returned to the military camp just one night after leading his troops out.

Seeing him rushing to him in a hurry, Qian Wanli was a little surprised.

"what happened?"

Qian Wanli has been upset these days because Daqian's newspaper industry is very powerful and is not just sold within their territory.

Some newspapers even flowed into the Western Regions.

This also aroused discussions among many people in the Western Regions.

Some spiritual Daqian people, although living in the Western Regions, always feel that they are citizens of the powerful Daqian Kingdom.

Some people even believed what was written in the newspaper and felt that the countries in the Western Regions were not being honest.

After all, no one wants to invite a wolf into the house, especially if the Shenmu Kingdom is invited.

It would be better to negotiate with Daqian and ask them to help suppress the Datong sect.

This is also a problem of information asymmetry in their possession.

If these people had known earlier that Qin Ming was behind the Datong Sect, they probably would not have said these words.

Unfortunately, the newspaper industry in the entire Western Region Dynasty is not very developed.

Naturally, their means of influencing public opinion are no match for Qin Ming's.

It was precisely because of this that many courts of the Western Regions kingdoms were in turmoil.

This is mainly because the discussions among the people below are too loud.

The main task of every imperial court is actually to stabilize the people and allow the entire court to continue to exist safely. Therefore, if the people have too many objections, the officials of the court will naturally find a way to deal with it.

They are all people in the rear.

The butt determines the head. When a problem arises, they begin to report it to the front line.

The pressure of civil unrest naturally reached the front lines.

Recently, Qian Wanli has been dealing with issues in various kingdoms.

The high-ranking officials of the courts of the Western Regions hoped that Qian Wanli on the front line could show some performance so that they could appease the people.

But now the war has reached the moment of decisive battle, and no one has any intention to deal with their things.

These gossips have no weight at all in the face of war.

It was for this reason that Qian Wanli took upon himself all the problems caused by these gossips.

This will allow the generals under his command to let go and fight hard on the battlefield without being influenced by those guys in the court.

However, even so, after several days of negotiations, he and the high-ranking officials of the court had worn out their words, and the two sides were still arguing with each other.

When Linghu Yuan came back that night, he could clearly feel that Qian Wanli looked extremely haggard.

This also made him feel reluctant to tell Qian Wanli the truth.

"Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Qian Wanli knew his subordinate too well and quickly saw through his thoughts.

It seems that I can no longer hide it.

Linghu Yuan could only sigh, and then told Qian Wanli what he had seen and heard tonight.

"You mean... they didn't have any transportation at all, and they just took out a lot of top-notch weapons and equipment that only Daqian has?"

After learning about the situation, Qian Wanli's heart immediately became alarmed.

Seeing that he was getting anxious, Linghu Yuan quickly spoke to comfort him:

"Don't panic, General. Maybe this is just a coincidence. They might send things through secret channels sometimes, but the quantity they send won't be too large."

"It's not even close to the level you mentioned of sending a lot of top-level weapons and equipment over a large area."

His words made Qian Wanli feel a little relieved, but this possibility actually existed.

So he didn't dare to delay at all. After thinking about it, he quickly gave the order.

"Assign a group of death row prisoners to form a cleanup team to clear the swamp area where the mines were found."

"By the way, what's the situation with the other troops controlling Tianwuze?"

At this time, Qian Wanli suddenly asked about the situation of several other troops.

"If they had also encountered a landmine, they should have sent someone back to report by now, but I didn't encounter any soldiers from other units on the way back."

Qian Wanli arranged Linghu Yuan and several other troops to go to Tianwuze to explore and station there.

But only Linghu Yuan encountered a landmine and lost hundreds of soldiers.

This most likely means that the enemy's weapons and equipment are not sufficient.

Otherwise they would have placed a lot of mines on several other attack routes.

Just block all their paths forward.

"It seems we still have a chance. Let's hurry up, arrange the death row prisoners, clean up the area, and then prepare to set up camp."

After thinking about these possibilities, Qian Wanli felt relieved and quickly made arrangements.

After receiving the order, Linghu Yuan quickly came to the prisoner camp behind their military camp.

There are not only prisoners here, but also some death row prisoners who are specially used to explore the way for them.

Although the preparations were made in haste, Qian Wanli still managed to gather more than 300 people.

"Everyone, your mission has arrived. If you can complete the mission and come back alive today, all your countermeasures will be pardoned."

The lives of these death row prisoners in the military camp are no different from those of slaves.

Because the Western Regions coalition forces were in financial distress, they began to arrange them together with some captives to work for free day and night.

The heavy work every day may last for more than eight hours, but the meals are extremely difficult and you will never feel full all day.

Therefore, every death row prisoner desperately desires freedom.

Hearing what Linghu Yuan said.

The crowd began to get restless.

But soon, they showed hesitation.

After all, their status as death row prisoners has been confirmed.

Being able to pardon a death row inmate is a feat that is undoubtedly a life-or-death task.

"It sounds nice, but you bunch of dog soldiers just want us to fight to our death, don't you?"

"Damn it, I won't contribute to you guys."

"Just kill us if you dare!"

I thought this matter wouldn't have too many twists and turns.

However, Linghu Yuan's order soon encountered opposition from everyone.

These death row inmates are all extremely vicious criminals who have committed countless murders.

Once they were captured, they were forced to submit and work by force.

They usually cause quite a few problems in the military camp.

Originally, the number of death row prisoners in the cities surrounding the military camp was not just over 300, but thousands.
