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

After entering the No. 1 room, Xu Xiao immediately blocked the door, casually took out a sharp sword from under the bed, and looked at the proprietress vigilantly.

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched. It seemed that this woman's bad habit could not be changed in a short time!

The proprietress smiled slightly, not minding Xu Xiao's behavior. Instead, she slowly sat down on the chair, crossing her arms: "Sir, do you want to say something to me? I'm all ears!"

Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand to signal Xu Xiao to put down his weapon, then smiled apologetically: "Madam, actually, it would be better if you asked first, why are the people in the inn looking at me like that today?"

The proprietress pursed her delicate red lips slightly, with a strange light flashing in her eyes, and slowly said: "Sir, the soldiers are here today!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chuxuan and Xu Xiao suddenly tensed up. Xu Xiao even gripped his dagger tightly and quickly ran to the window to look outside carefully, trying to find any clues.

However, Zhou Chuxuan rolled his eyes slightly and relaxed: "My lady, don't panic. Don't forget, this is Tongfu Inn! It's impossible for the soldiers to come in and search!"

There is a rule in Tongfu Inn that it only accepts guests and anyone wearing military or official uniform is not allowed to enter.

The proprietress nodded slightly: "Young Master, you are extremely intelligent. I admire you!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Boss lady, it's already this late, stop making fun of me! Just tell me what happened!"

"A man who claims to be the Crown Prince of the current dynasty is escorting a man who looks exactly like you, saying that he wants to capture a criminal of the court! If it weren't for the vision of the soldiers next to him, the Crown Prince would have forced his way in!" The proprietress's voice was slightly resentful, and even had a numb taste that made people feel very numb.

But Zhou Chuxuan was in no mood to pay attention to this. He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought about what the proprietress had just said. Yang Li must have discovered his substitute and knew some inside information. It was just that he was not from the Wu Dynasty and did not know about the affairs of Tongfu Inn.

"Thank you so much, Madam! However, I still have a favor to ask!" Zhou Chuxuan's sly smile instantly made the Madam roll her eyes at him. "Sir, I run an inn. Tongfu Inn will never get involved in any actions in the imperial court. This is the rule set by our ancestors!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and said, "Madam, how could I not understand the rules of Tongfu Inn?"

As he spoke, Zhou Chuxuan took out a golden bar from his bosom and placed it on the table, his smile growing more intense.

The proprietress stared at Zhou Chuxuan for a long time. Finally, she sighed softly, "Sir, you're really going to make it very difficult for us to run the Tongfu Inn!"

"Well, I'll go ask the shopkeeper for instructions!"

Zhou Chuxuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. As he watched the proprietress walk out of the room, a hint of doubt flashed across his face. At this time, Xu Xiao drew out his dagger, walked in front of Zhou Chuxuan, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Will she..."

"Don't let your mind be filled with thoughts of killing. She is the proprietress of Tongfu Inn. Isn't it normal for her to have someone behind her?" Although Zhou Chuxuan said so, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the Tongfu Inn is more complicated than he imagined. The so-called proprietress is most likely a puppet in public.

Such a huge force lies across the territory of the Wu Dynasty. Although it coexists with the ancestors of the Wu Dynasty and has been recognized and protected by the emperors of the Wu Dynasty, Zhou Chuxuan always feels that there are hidden dangers.

A dynasty actually allowed a place where even soldiers and officers could not enter, and even criminals could run in and seek refuge. After accumulating for a long time, it was hard to imagine how much power was contained in the Tongfu Inn!

If this force really erupts, will the now devastated Wu Dynasty be able to withstand the explosion of this force?

Not long after, the proprietress returned to the guest room with a faint smile on her face: "Our shopkeeper has agreed, but you have to agree to one request!"

Zhou Chuxuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly, "Thank you very much. May I ask what your request is? As long as it's within my ability, I will do my best!"

The proprietress said in a deep voice, "The shopkeeper has instructed us that if the young master ever becomes the emperor, he will allow the Tongfu Inn to leave the Wu Dynasty's control and will also give the Tongfu Inn a thousand-mile radius in the south!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Zhou Chuxuan's face slowly became stiff. He looked at the proprietress with a frown, his brows full of shock.

However, he was not surprised that the owner of Tongfu Inn saw through his identity, but the subsequent requirements. They wanted to become independent from the Wu Dynasty openly and honestly, and also got the recognition of the Wu Dynasty!

Xu Xiao stood beside Zhou Chuxuan with a vigilant look on his face, his eyes emitting cold rays of light that shot towards the proprietress. His whole body was tense, and as long as Zhou Chuxuan gave the order, Xu Xiao would take action.

"Madam, do you know that the shopkeeper's request is to divide the territory of the Wu Dynasty? Besides, I'm not the crown prince, so how can I decide the future of the Wu Dynasty? You have to raise this matter with the emperor of the Wu Dynasty!"

The proprietress sneered, her delicate body trembling slightly. "Young Master, let's not mince words. It's come to this point, why bother playing dumb? This is what the shopkeeper wants. If you don't agree, then there's no need for us at Tongfu Inn to continue with your affairs..."

"Okay, I promise you!"

Before the proprietress could finish, Zhou Chuxuan interrupted her, his smile slowly faded, and he stood up and looked at her: "As long as Tongfu Inn helps, this little thing will be nothing if I really succeed in becoming the king of the world!"

"Well, young master is really a straightforward person!" The proprietress smiled and said, "Then, our cooperation will begin!"

......

On the other side, inside the Qinzhou City government office, there was a prison.

Song San was chained to a pillar, and on the other side were Murong Xue and Su Qiaoer, who were covered in wounds and unconscious.

"Cough cough!"

Accompanied by a slight cough, Yang Li covered his mouth with a handkerchief in his hand, slowly walked down from the entrance, and looked at the three people with squinted eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk! He's got real perseverance! He's not even saying anything about this? Someone, wake him up!"

Wow!

A basin of cold water was poured on Song San's head, which instantly sobered him up. When he saw the person coming, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Don't even think about getting any information from me!"

Yang Li sneered, and the two soldiers behind him waved their whips and were about to attack again.

"Well, since our fake prince is unwilling to speak, let's try another way!"

Yang Li then slowly walked towards Murong Xue and slapped her in the face, forcibly waking her up.

"General Murong, did you sleep well?"
