Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

When the people of Shenmu Kingdom discovered his body, they all said that it might be a coincidence.

In order not to cause panic, they decided to strike first.

People took the initiative to discuss the news of Xu Dashan's death among the community.

Although Xu Dashan died at the hands of an unidentified master, no one, including some local martial artists, several martial arts schools, and two or three escort agencies, admitted it.

In order not to lose face in front of Tongbao Pavilion and Wulin Daily.

They tampered with the cause of Xu Dashan's death, saying that he drowned from drinking.

However, many villagers who passed by the scene saw that Xu Dashan did not die in this way.

He was shot through the heart by an arrow.

The opponent's methods were extremely cruel. Even before his death, Xu Dashan had a look of horror on his face.

After being pierced through the chest by an arrow, he fell to the ground and was unable to get up.

Everyone speculated that before he died, he tried hard to turn his head back, but he didn't even see who attacked him.

It was such a miserable death.

It stands to reason that a man of his caliber, who has been famous for many years, should be considered a second-rate master, at least, even if he is not a first-rate master.

But he was killed outside the city without any sound.

There wasn't even a chance to fight back.

As usual, Sun Jinshan came to the tavern the next day and listened to the diners' discussions.

"Have you heard? The man who revealed his identity in the tavern yesterday and said he was on the wanted list has died outside the city."

"The methods used by Tongbao Pavilion are quite astonishing."

"Bullshit, who said this was done by Tongbao Pavilion?"

"Even Old Chen from the Nine Blades Sect said it was Xu Dashan who got drunk and drowned in the river."

At this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly raised an objection.

Hearing this, everyone started talking.

"But there were eyewitnesses at the scene. They glanced at him as they passed by and said he was killed by an arrow through the chest."

"Which eyewitness? You're telling the story as if you saw it yourself."

"That's right, Old Chen from the Nine Blades Sect has spoken. If you believe those rumors, you'll be inexperienced."

"But……"

"But what but? Do you know more than Mr. Chen?"

The diner blushed after being refuted, but since this matter was related to the mysterious Mr. Chen, even though his face was flushed, he did not dare to comment on it anymore.

Hearing them mention the Nine Swords Sect, Chu Ying, who was sitting in the distance, became curious, so he turned to Sun Jinshan and asked:

"What kind of force is this Nine Blades Sect they're talking about? And who is that Old Chen?"

Chu Ying has been managing the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and has taken over Tongbao Pavilion in its entirety.

He doesn't care about the grassroots forces here.

Hearing what he said, Sun Jinshan, a local, began to explain:

"The Nine Blades Sect is considered a powerful sect in this area. They own a martial arts school and two escort agencies, making them quite powerful. I heard that many officials in various counties have connections with them."

"They often come forward to handle shady matters for officials. Over time, they have gained a backer, and with sufficient manpower and strong capabilities, they have become local bullies."

"As for that old man Chen, his name is Chen Changdao. He is a top-notch martial artist in the martial arts world. He founded the Nine Swords Sect a few years ago, and now he has nearly a thousand brothers under his command."

"I see. It seems he's the one manipulating public opinion in this area. By the way, has he ever attacked Brother Tongbao before? His name should be on our wanted list."

After learning about his situation, a murderous look flashed across Chu Ying's face.

"Of course they have. There are quite a few local forces disguised as Shanshui who robbed Tongbao Pavilion's goods. However, they did it very cleanly, without leaving many traces."

"But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was Chen Changdao who led the group."

Faced with such a group of evil forces, it would be difficult for Chu Ying and his men to suppress them even if they were powerful enough.

It would be better to ask the people from Feng Camp to kill them all.

Thinking of this, Chu Ying had actually made up his mind.

Sun Jinshan, who was standing by, also noticed Chu Ying's thoughts.

So he immediately knocked on the table and whispered to him:

"If you want to attack them, you may need more troops. These people in the martial arts world are very powerful. In terms of individual combat capabilities, they are even stronger than many elite troops."

"The people from the Feng Camp absolutely cannot reveal their identities right now, let alone bring their regular weapons and equipment. If they were to encounter these Jianghu people unarmed, things would likely go awry."

Sun Jinshan and Chu Ying are both on the same boat.

Naturally, he didn't want Chu Ying to lose his troops here.

You have to know that the number of Fengying troops Qin Ming left for them is actually not that large.

There are less than two thousand people.

With such a small number of people, if more and more people are lost in future bounties,

Neither Sun Jinshan nor Chu Ying had any way to go back and give an explanation to Qin Ming.

Thinking of this, Chu Ying slowly nodded.

"It doesn't matter. Your Majesty should have many experts around him. If things don't work out, I'll arrange for someone to invite them over. Anyway, as long as this Chen Changdao can be killed, things should be much easier."

The most important purpose of their bounty campaign in the south is to establish their authority.

If this first step is not done well, the bounty list in their Wulin Daily will become a joke.

I guess it won’t have any deterrent effect in the future.

In order for things to move forward better.

Chu Ying was ready to do things even more ruthlessly.

He stood up and prepared to go back and send a telegram to Qin Ming.

But just as he stood up, several shop assistants suddenly ran in hurriedly from outside.

They looked panicked and whispered to Sun Jinshan and Chu Ying:

"Boss, something's happened. Our Tongbao Pavilion store in a few counties down below was suddenly attacked by a group of masked men. They stole a lot of treasures in broad daylight."

"what?"

As soon as this news came out, Chu Ying's expression changed suddenly.

Qin Ming sent him to stabilize Tongbao Pavilion and gradually expand his influence to the entire Shenmu Kingdom.

However, we have just gained a foothold in the south, and other places are still in the stage of steady progress.

Such a big mess happened.

This wasn't a case of losing money in business, but someone simply came and robbed the property.

And in broad daylight.

The other party's actions no longer leave any room for negotiation.

It's just a slap in his face!

"You bastards! Come on, take me there."

Chu Ying's face was full of murderous intent. Having been in business for so many years, he had seen countless storms.

Now someone actually dares to bully him.

This is something he absolutely cannot tolerate, and he must make the other party pay the price.
