Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

After Hua Yunhong fell, the entire southern border of Shenmu Kingdom came to a standstill.

Even the dullest person could guess that something seemed to be wrong.

So the court arranged for someone to come and investigate.

And sent the message to Hua Yunhong.

The reason for arranging a special person to come here is, firstly, to find out Hua Yunhong's condition, and secondly, to stabilize Hua Yunhong as much as possible.

The old emperor passed away, and Hua Yunhong, who had always been eyeing the throne, is not in Shenmu City now.

He is likely to take some extreme actions to secure his throne.

In addition to him, many members of the royal family have also begun to make moves.

This is a bad sign.

Faced with the chaos that has occurred in the Shenmu Kingdom in recent days, Chu Ying, who is still in the territory of the Shenmu Kingdom, played a huge role at this time.

With the instigation of those with ulterior motives, news about the Western Regions quickly spread everywhere.

Within a few days, everyone knew that Hua Yunhong had made a very unprofitable deal.

Now the people's trust in him has dropped to freezing point.

When the neighbors mentioned Hua Yunhong's name in private, they all shook their heads.

There is no way to alleviate this situation in the short term.

Under such distrust, foreign wars should naturally stop.

Transfer orders from the Shenmu Kingdom were issued one after another, all sent to the front line.

They demanded that Hua Yunhong's two capable men, Mu Liuming and Changsun Huo, return to the imperial city for trial.

Not withdrawing troops, but coming back to stand trial.

Before they even came back, their actions had already been defined as mistakes.

Chu Ying seized the opportunity and quickly expanded his smuggling business.

At noon that day, the people in Tongbao Pavilion were even more anxious than him and contacted Chu Ying early.

"Can you deliver your goods in bulk soon?"

"This is an opportunity, we must seize it!"

Tongbao Pavilion is a business, and has recently been cooperating with Chu Ying, acting as a parasite in the Shenmu Kingdom, using smuggling methods to erode the kingdom.

"Why are you so anxious? You guys made quite a bit of money recently, didn't you?"

Facing their eagerness, Chu Ying always felt that something was wrong.

The informant from Tongbao Pavilion didn't explain too much, but just urged:

"Can you promise? To tell you the truth, after this trip, we will quit."

"Quitting?!"

Chu Ying was stunned.

He had never thought that the Tongbao Pavilion spread throughout the Shenmu Kingdom would stop operating.

Could it be that the death of their old emperor had stimulated Tongbao Pavilion?

"Why is this happening? Smuggling isn't regulated by anyone yet. They definitely won't be able to do anything in the short term. Even if they target us in the future, they can still take their time and do it slowly. What are you afraid of?"

Chu Ying frowned slightly and looked at the other party in confusion.

"Oh, I can't explain it to you. Do you want to do it? If not, let's just call it a day."

The informant's voice sounded a little anxious.

Seeing this, Chu Ying whispered:

"Yes, I can give you all the smuggled goods I have, but I'll need to contact you first for more things later."

"Okay, this is the deposit."

The other party took out a stack of banknotes without any hesitation.

It seems that it is really urgent.

"You guys...want to run away?"

Chu Ying spoke hesitantly.

When the Western Region Chamber of Commerce was in decline, many people could not hold on and prepared to flee.

Before leaving, there are absolutely no taboos. They will do anything as long as they can make a final profit.

Tongbao Pavilion's current behavior is no different from those wealthy businessmen who were about to run away before.

"It's none of your business, why are you asking so many questions?"

"Complete this cooperation, and what belongs to you will be yours, not a penny less."

After saying this, the informant left quickly.

Seeing this, Chu Ying frowned, got on the carriage, and quickly headed towards Yuanwang Ridge.

Before leaving, he sent a message to the secret guards in the Shenmu Kingdom, reporting the suspicious situation regarding Tongbao Pavilion to Qin Ming.

When the news reached the headquarters of the Datong sect, Xuanfeng had just arranged for a batch of smuggled goods to enter the Shenmu Kingdom.

When I saw this news, I immediately realized that something was wrong.

"broken!"

"Elder, what's going on?"

Several believers asked Elder Xuanfeng curiously.

Xuanfeng sighed.

"I don't know whether this Tongbao Pavilion was protected by the old emperor or established by the small countries in the Western Regions. Now it's going to collapse!"

"what?"

This news was so shocking that no one could react.

"How could this be controlled by the Western Regions?"

"It's hard to say..."

Elder Xuanfeng knew what Chu Ying meant by sending the message.

Now that Tongbao Pavilion is preparing to run away, there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that they were established under the protection of some officials under the old emperor. Now that the old emperor is dead, no matter who comes to the throne, the emperor will have his own ministers.

No one will be able to support Tongbao Pavilion anymore.

So they have to run.

Another possibility is that Tongbao Pavilion is not actually the property of Shenmu Kingdom.

The actual controllers should be some small countries in the Western Regions.

They have already smelled the smell of failure, and some leaders are even ready to pack up and run away.

Naturally, all the properties in hand must be exchanged.

Tongbao Pavilion is one of the most important industries in their hands.

"Hurry up and go to the military newspaper office and report this matter!"

Xuanfeng did not dare to hesitate and quickly arranged for someone to deliver the message to Qin Ming.

In Tianwu Lake, Qin Ming has been recuperating with his troops for some time.

During this period, he also heard about the turmoil in the countries of the Western Regions. Especially when he learned that disputes had begun to arise within their alliance over the division of territory, which had forced the rulers of several small countries to leave, he felt more relieved.

At this point, he already knew why Mu Liuming and Qian Wanli retreated.

There is nothing we can do unless they retreat.

The basic bases behind both sides have already run into big problems.

Just then, another telegram arrived.

Qin Ming picked up the information they sent and glanced at it, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

"Tell Chu Ying that from now on, the court's resources will be at his disposal."

"Goal: Take over the entire Tongbao Pavilion!"

"Your Majesty, how much silver will this cost?"

Elder Song was startled.

Qin Ming said:

"Those are chambers of commerce spread across the entire Shenmu Kingdom. Don't ask how much money it will cost to acquire them. Think first about how much money we can earn after acquiring them."

Unlike what they thought, Qin Ming didn't care who was standing behind them.

As long as Tongbao Pavilion wants to get out, only Daqian can take over this huge chain of interests.

Hua Yunhong is in a coma and the Shenmu Kingdom is in turmoil.

If they take advantage of this opportunity to capture Tongbao Pavilion, they will make a lot of money in this war.

As Qin Ming's order was issued, countless goods began to gather frantically in Yuanwangling.
