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

After returning to his mansion, Zhou Chuxuan's face was solemn and sad. He sat at the stone table in the yard, frowning and tapping the table with his knuckles.

"Oh, what else in this world can make King Xiaoyao worried?" Murong Xue finally saw Zhou Chuxuan like this, so naturally she had to mock him.

"Tsk tsk tsk! It's really not easy. What could possibly be so difficult for King Xiaoyao?"

The corners of Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched wildly. What happened to this woman today?

She is usually taciturn and has an icy face, but why does it seem like this woman has been talking more and more recently?

"General Murong, please go to the Tongfu Inn in the capital, find their owner, and tell him I want to see him!"

Murong Xue shook her head and sneered, "Your Highness, are you crazy? Do you really think that the owner of Tongfu Inn can be seen whenever you want? No matter how rich you are, you can't act recklessly in Tongfu Inn!"

"Forget it. I've already prepared these muskets and new weapons for you, but you're unwilling to even do this for me. Forget it! I'll go give them to General He Jian or General Han!"

"Oh, of course, it's not impossible to give it to Miss Nangong some other day!"

"You, you, you really have it? Oh my god, I'll go!"

Murong Xue looked at the brand new musket that Zhou Chuxuan took out from his waist, and her eyes immediately lit up. She ran out of the yard, leaving Su Qiaoer, who had just left the house, looking confused.

"Your Highness, what is General Murong doing? Why does she look so flustered?"

"Don't worry about her! Haha!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled lightly, then picked up a brush, dipped it in the water in the bowl, and began to write and draw on the stone table.

In fact, given the conditions of that era, and his understanding of the precision of firearms, it would not be a problem to manufacture an AK. It's just that there are too many small parts required, so he has to find a craftsman who knows how to cast iron to produce it in large quantities.

After Zhou Chuxuan finished drawing, he leaned back in his chair, and an army of 5,000 people emerged in his mind. If everyone had an AK, it wouldn't be a big problem to sweep away an army of 100,000, right?

But I don’t know whether the existing gunpowder in Wu Dynasty can support him to produce so many bullets!

In his previous life, he was a special forces soldier who had undergone special training and possessed all kinds of qualities. Not to mention making guns, if he was given enough time, he could even make some simple armored vehicles in this era!

By that time, with the addition of his own Fuling Army, he would truly have the capital to dominate a region and the confidence to fight against others.

Around sunset, Murong Xue walked in from the courtyard gate with a man in a black robe: "Your Highness, this is the person sent by Tongfu Inn!"

Zhou Chuxuan looked him up and down and said with a smile, "Are you not the owner of the Tongfu Inn?"

The black-robed man raised his head, a visible scar on his face. "Of course not! But I'm close to the chief, so I can represent him!"

"Is this what your chief leader meant?" Zhou Chuxuan pointed angrily at the courtyard gate. Murong Xue understood and stood outside the door to keep watch for them in case anyone could eavesdrop.

The black-robed man nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please state your request. If it is within the acceptable range of our leader, he will cooperate!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded. "I want to know what happened in Lotus Village on Lotus Mountain! Ideally, everything about that place! Not only their origins, but also the entire process of how they were framed! Of course, it would be even better if there was evidence!"

"It's not a big deal, I can agree to it on behalf of our leader! However, Tongfu Inn is a place for business, and our leader wants two things as a balance for these two transactions!" There was no emotion in the eyes of the man in black robe, as if he was just a puppet who obeyed orders, and it was even impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"What is it?" Zhou Chuxuan was not surprised. In Tongfu Inn, as long as one can afford the price, nothing is impossible to trade!

"How to make fire guns and crossbows!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Chuxuan agreed without hesitation. He was going to gradually phase out these two weapons anyway. As long as he could mass-produce AKs and grenades and apply them to his army, muskets and crossbows would be useless.

He had anticipated this day long ago, so he entered the house and handed the two booklets he had prepared in advance to the man in black robe.

The black-robed man was somewhat surprised by this: "Your Highness, you handed the things to me so quickly. Aren't you afraid that we won't keep our promise?"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled. "Tongfu Inn is a centuries-old establishment. How could something like this happen? And I believe your leader wouldn't do that! We have common interests!"

"No wonder the chief praised you as a smart person, it's true!"

The man in black robe sighed, then put the two booklets in his arms and left the mansion.

He had just left when Murong Xue, who was standing guard outside the door, walked in and frowned at Zhou Chuxuan: "Prince, do you trust them so much? The manufacturing method of this fire gun and crossbow is just... "

"What do you think of that person just now?"

Zhou Chuxuan did not directly answer Murong Xue's words, but said this.

Murong Xue frowned slightly: "Isn't he someone close to the headmaster of the Tongfu Inn?"

"Haha, how is that possible? If the people around a chief are so powerful, then this Tongfu Inn is too terrifying!" Zhou Chuxuan smiled and shook his head: "He is the chief!"

"What? Him? How could he be the chief leader? He looks so, so ugly! Moreover, his breathing is not very even. I can even feel that his martial arts skills are not as good as mine!" Murong Xue frowned slightly, looking extremely unbelievable.

"General Murong, when did you start judging people by their appearance?" Zhou Chuxuan sneered, "Don't worry, General Murong, I will give you what I promised you!"

"Here! Your musket!"

Zhou Chuxuan pulled out a musket from his waist and handed it to Murong Xue.

"Then, what about the new weapon you promised to make for me?" Murong Xue held the musket and couldn't let it go. In her mind, she kept imagining the scene of herself riding on a horse with a musket in her hand and blowing open the head of an enemy a hundred steps away with one shot.

"Don't be impatient!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and said, "That will take some time, but it will definitely be done within a month!"

"You, you obviously didn't make it well, you lied to me!" Murong Xue's eyes widened immediately. She didn't look like a mature woman in her thirties at all, but rather like a young girl in her twenties.

"Ahem, this is a white lie, otherwise why would you help me go to Tongfu Inn?"

"You, stop!"
