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

Suddenly, a somewhat arrogant voice came from outside the door. Zhou Chuxuan's face changed, and he quickly pushed Song San into the room: "Hide for a while and then come out!"

Soon, Yang Li walked into the courtyard with a few guards, chin held high. "Why, Your Highness, have you forgotten that we are leaving for the coastal areas? Or is Your Highness feeling a little guilty?"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly and said slowly, "Why should I feel guilty? I just need to pack some things. Your Highness, please go ahead. I will be there soon!"

"Haha, okay! The army is waiting outside the city, Your Majesty, please don't be too late!" Yang Li glanced at Zhou Chuxuan, smiled lightly, and turned to leave.

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Murong Xue and Su Qiao'er: "General Murong, Qiao'er, I'll trouble you to provide more cover for the next few days!"

Murong Xue suddenly asked, "What if we reach Qinzhou? Why don't you come out? If this stand-in opens his mouth, he'll definitely be exposed!"

Zhou Chuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Let's wait and see. Don't worry, no matter how you disguise yourself, Yang Li will definitely see through the flaws. At this time, he will stabilize you and then look for me in secret!"

Murong Xue and Su Qiao'er exchanged a glance, both of them confused: "Since you know you will be seen through, why do you still..."

"There's no time to explain now. You guys better go first. I'll be there soon!" After Zhou Chuxuan asked everyone to leave, he put the musket and crossbow on his waist, and also made two homemade grenades, just in case.

Zhou Chuxuan got a horse from the Xu family, disguised himself, left the capital that night, and followed the trail of the large group of people.

The large group of people walked and stopped for a full ten days before they finally approached the border of Qinzhou.

One day, Zhou Chuxuan saw the cavalry team under Xu Qinglong in a valley beside the official road. The leading general was named Xu Xiao, a heroic female general.

He is just young, with a vicious and tough look in his eyes, with nothing but murderous intent. Xu Qinglong said that this is a death warrior he secretly trained, and he is loyal to him.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan appear, Xu Xiao's icy expression finally eased a little, and he bowed to Zhou Chuxuan on his warhorse. Before coming, Xu Qinglong's order was to treat Zhou Chuxuan as him!

Zhou Chuxuan nodded slightly. "More than five thousand cavalrymen are more than enough! From now on, you will break up into small groups and enter Qinzhou. I don't care what identities you use, but do not reveal yourselves. Search everywhere for the whereabouts of the Fuling Army!"

"If you have any news, come find me at Tongfu Inn in Qinzhou City!"

"Yes!"

After dismissing these cavalrymen, Zhou Chuxuan and Xu Xiao disguised themselves as a pair of knights and rode two horses into Qinzhou City.

Tongfu Inn.

It is said that this inn has existed since the founding of the Wu Dynasty. The ancestors of the inn and the ancestors of the Wu Dynasty were once brothers in arms, but the ancestor of this inn was unwilling to be an official, so he opened inns all over the country.

The founding emperor of the Wu Dynasty also gave this inn enough courtesy, granting it the right to be immune from death with a red-lettered iron certificate. The emperors of later generations were not allowed to enter the Tongfu Inn for search for any reason.

Therefore, Tongfu Inn became a refuge for many criminals, where only money was traded, regardless of the interests and backgrounds of the parties involved.

Here, as long as you pay enough money, even if it means buying Emperor Wu's life, there will be people who will take your order!

"Boss lady, a room in the top floor of the Tianzi Building. Here's the deposit!" Zhou Chuxuan placed a package of gold bars on the table and pushed it in front of the still charming boss lady.

The proprietress simply opened it and took a look, a smile curling her lips: "This young man is really generous. It just so happens that we only have one top-grade room left!"

"Please come with me!"

The guest rooms are not in the same building as the dining area, but in a separate attic. The environment here is quiet, the sound insulation is very good, and it is extremely elegant.

The Tianzi No. room is very spacious. You can take a shower without going out. There are two comfortable and soft large beds. When you open the window, you can overlook almost half of Qinzhou City.

"If you two need food delivered to your room, we will deliver it. If you want to eat outside, you can also go to the lobby!"

The proprietress was always very respectful to the top-notch customers and explained everything with a smile.

Zhou Chuxuan nodded in satisfaction. After the boss left, Xu Xiao whispered, "Your Majesty, why are we..."

"Shh!"

Zhou Chuxuan immediately made a gesture to silence, opened the door and looked around, then closed it and said softly, "Be careful, walls have ears. Now you want to call me husband, and I want to call you wife!"

Xu Xiao's face twitched slightly, but she didn't show much expression: "Husband!"

"That's right, my lady, please sit here for a while. I'll go to the lobby to get some food!" Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly, opened the door and walked out.

"Madam, please bring two of your signature dishes and a jar of good wine!"

"Okay, sir, I'll be right there!"

Sitting in the lobby, Zhou Chuxuan leaned against the window, but his ears were constantly paying attention to the conversations of the other diners.

After the food and wine arrived, Zhou Chuxuan began to enjoy it alone.

Not long after, a group of soldiers came in from outside and said in a carefree manner: "Brother, can we share a table?"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded slightly and moved his wine and food inside.

"This Fuling Army is truly mysterious! We've been searching for them for so many days, but we can't find any trace of them!"

Suddenly, the conversation between this group of soldiers attracted Zhou Chuxuan's attention.

"Who says it's not? The Fuling Army is truly powerful. Back then, our Qinzhou army of 30,000 was sent to suppress overseas bandits, but they were defeated by only 2,000 or 3,000 of them, resulting in over 10,000 casualties!"

"As a result, once the Fuling Army took action, they wiped out nearly seven or eight bandit dens in just ten days, wiping out thousands of people! Now, bandits in Qinzhou are almost extinct!"

Zhou Chuxuan's heart moved, and he pushed the wine pot in front of him over: "Try it, my lords! This is the Qingzhu wine from Tongfu Inn. It's good stuff!"

When several soldiers smelled the aroma of wine, their eyes suddenly lit up. They each poured a bowl and said, "Brother, I didn't realize you could actually afford Qingzhu Brewing? This Qingzhu Brewing is really expensive. We have saved up half a year's salary to only afford one pot!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled gently: "If you like it, I will give you each a pot before you leave! But I have something I want to ask you!"

"Oh? Just say it, little brother!"

The soldiers naturally couldn't refuse the shortest meal.

"I'm a foreigner and just arrived in Qinzhou. I don't know what the Fuling Army you are talking about is? Is it very powerful?" Zhou Chuxuan pretended to be curious.

When this was mentioned, several soldiers immediately made a hushed gesture: "Shh! Little brother, let's just talk about this for now, and don't spread it around outside!"

"Oh? How do you say this?"
