Dressed as the prince's substitute? I took the throne

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a moment and nodded.

The masked woman bit her lip tightly, her eyes blazing with anger as memories from many years ago resurfaced. "My name is Nangong Yanling. After that incident, Jiulong Mountain fell apart. It was I who reunited the remaining troops and saved the village!"

"However, Emperor Wu issued an edict to recruit us, saying that if I could go and negotiate terms with the people in their court, they would agree not to kill us all. At that time, Jiulong Mountain was severely weakened. In order to avoid harming innocent people and let more people survive, I went alone!"

"Emperor Wu was not present at the banquet. Instead, his personal eunuchs were present. They gave me poisoned wine, and I passed out. Then they set the house on fire!"

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes trembled slightly. He didn't expect that Nangong Yanling had such a tragic past and was repeatedly manipulated by the imperial court.

"I guess Miss Nangong must have had a bad experience after returning."

Nangong Yanling took a deep breath and said, "Although I didn't die in the fire, my appearance was burned and I became like this, half-human, half-ghost!"

"When I rushed back to Jiulong Mountain, I discovered that they had taken advantage of my departure to attack the stronghold. There were thousands of families of the bandits living there, and they were all ruthlessly slaughtered by those soldiers!"

Nangong Yanling clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth. "They were just a group of ordinary people, why did he kill them? As the ruler of the entire Wu Dynasty, shouldn't he protect the people of the Wu Dynasty? What does our business have to do with the people?"

"Your Majesty, shouldn't I kill this heartless court and this bloodthirsty monarch?"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Nangong Yanling quietly, listening to her venting her emotions, and remained silent for a long time. If Emperor Wu was really such a person, then it would be understandable for him to overthrow Emperor Wu's rule and seize his position.

But the time is definitely not now!

Now I am not yet fully grown, and I don’t have many loyal soldiers under my command. Most importantly, I don’t have the right words and cannot win the support of the people!

"Miss Nangong, I understand your feelings, but I can't help you now!" Zhou Chuxuan shook his head. He also wanted to recruit these elite men from Jiulong Mountain to his own side to strengthen his own strength, but he had just escaped from the chaotic situation in the court and wanted to hide behind the scenes and not make too much noise.

Nangong Yanling's eyes flashed with disappointment. She pursed her lips and finally stood up: "Your Highness, if that's the case, then we have a long way to go. We will meet again later!"

"Wait!"

Just as Nangong Yanling was about to open the door and leave, Zhou Chuxuan stopped her and threw her a token: "Miss Nangong, as long as you survive, you will never run out of firewood. Only by surviving can you have hope of revenge!"

"Don't be impulsive! Take this token. I'll be waiting for you anytime if you need me!"

"You are a smart man!"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan's deep dark eyes, which seemed to contain thousands of words, Nangong Yanling's eyes narrowed slightly, and finally she grasped the token in her palm and nodded slightly.

Bang!

After Nangong Yanling left, Zhou Chuxuan couldn't calm down for a long time. Looking at the night sky outside the window, he began to have some doubts about his future.

Before, he was more inclined to wait for Emperor Wu to inherit the Wu Dynasty a hundred years later, and then reorganize the broken and corrupt Wu Dynasty, but now, he began to vaguely prefer the second option!

Create the world!

At some point, Su Qiao'er got out of bed and came to Zhou Chuxuan with a glass of water. "Your Highness, you've been sighing for so long. Why don't you have a drink of water?"

Zhou Chuxuan was slightly startled, then smiled embarrassedly: "Really? I'm sorry to disturb your sleep!"

Zhou Chuxuan took the water and drank it all in one gulp. "Qiao'er, do you think bandits and robbers are hateful?"

Su Qiao'er was pulled by Zhou Chuxuan to sit on the edge of the bed, her cheeks slightly red. After hearing Zhou Chuxuan's words, she lowered her head and pondered for a long time, then said softly: "Qiao'er doesn't have as deep knowledge as the prince, I just know some superficial principles!"

"tell me the story!"

"Not all bandits in this world are hateful. There are also some heroes who live in the mountains. They are truly forced to live in poverty by the government, and eventually they take over the mountains and become kings. Such people will never oppress the good, but instead rob the rich to help the poor!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "Qiao'er, have you ever encountered something like this?"

"Yeah!" Su Qiao'er nodded. "Back when Qiao'er was still in Northern Xinjiang, there was a group of people who ruled the nearby hills. However, they only robbed the rich and gave to the poor. I've never heard of them robbing ordinary people!"

"When Qiao'er was little, she once passed by that mountain and was given a handful of silver by a handsome brother there!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded and smiled, "So, what happened next? What happened to this group of people? Were they recruited by the border troops?"

"No!" A trace of sadness flashed across Su Qiao'er's face. "Not only were they not incorporated, but they were wiped out by the government troops. It's said that there was a traitor in the mountain stronghold, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. Some of the leaders were captured and taken to the northern border, where they had their heads chopped off and hung up for public display!"

"Qiao'er feels that they are very pitiful and they shouldn't die like this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuxuan gently patted Qiao'er's head and said with a smile, "Okay, Qiao'er, I get it! Go to sleep! We'll probably be leaving tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

The next morning, Erhu was standing at the door with a man who looked exactly like Zhou Chuxuan.

Zhou Chuxuan put on his clothes and went out. He looked it up and down and praised it: "Not bad, not bad!"

"Knowing the prince! My name is Song San, I am Lao Yang's brother, and I am willing to die for the prince!" The fake Zhou Chuxuan knelt on one knee on the ground and said in a deep voice.

Zhou Chuxuan helped him up and said with a smile, "Brother Song, don't be nervous. Just follow the team, pretend to have a cold, and sleep in the carriage. If anything happens, I will let General Murong and Qiao'er help you cover it up!"

Song San nodded: "Just follow the prince's orders!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Chuxuan called Murong Xue out of the room and said, "General Murong, I've caught a cold and will be sleeping in the carriage from today. If anyone harasses the carriage with a tough attitude, please help!"

Murong Xue looked Song San up and down in surprise. She didn't expect that there was someone in the world who had this kind of skill!

From the body to the appearance, it is almost exactly the same.

"it is good!"

"Your Highness, it's time for us to get going! Are you still not awake?"
