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

Xu Qinglong looked at everyone in disbelief, his throat rolling slightly as he asked the question he dared not say.

However, everyone fell silent again, and Su Qiaoer was still crying, as if Zhou Chuxuan was really gone.

Instantly, Xu Qinglong felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes wide open, and said word by word: "His Highness, he really..."

This is impossible?

What kind of person is His Highness? Even the ruthless Zhou Shaxuan fell at his hands. How could he die in such an unclear way in a small Qingzhou?

Moreover, if His Highness died, what would be the purpose of his alliance with Yang Liming? It seemed like he had lost his greatest support!

In the end, Xu Qinglong walked out of the palace in a daze and started his journey home alone. In the howling cold wind, Xu Qinglong's figure looked very thin.

After seeing Xu Qinglong like this, the spies lurking in the dark gradually became convinced that Zhou Chuxuan was really dead, and they all went back to report to their masters.

In the palace, when only Murong Xue was left in the room, Nangong Yanling and Zhou Chuxuan lifted the lid from underground and crawled out.

"What should we do next? Will the emperor really kill Zhou Heng?" There was doubt in Murong Xue's eyes. Although Emperor Wu had arrested Zhou Heng, there was no conclusive evidence after all.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled lightly: "Don't worry, before that old fox Zhou Wanjiang sees the evidence with his own eyes, he will never make a move on Zhou Heng. I am doing this only to force out the black hand behind Zhou Heng!"

"General Murong, starting tomorrow, you will select an elite team from the Fuling Army and train them to master the weapons I give you! Zhou Wanjiang may take action soon!"

"Yes!"

The room became quiet again. Nangong Yanling sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, staring at her masked face in the mirror in a daze.

Zhou Chuxuan paced back and forth in the room, his eyes flashing with thought. Zhou Wanjiang absolutely could not bear this kind of temptation, as this was his lifelong pursuit.

Therefore, he will definitely mobilize the elite forces at his disposal, and he may even go to Qingzhou Lotus Mountain in person to investigate the truth!

Zhou Chuxuan clenched his fists lightly. Although he really wanted to kill this old fox, he knew that it was not the right time yet. If he killed Emperor Wu now, it would be unjustifiable and unpopular!

"Perhaps, this pool of water needs to be stirred up even more!"

"Your Highness, what did you say?" Nangong Yanling, who was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, was slightly startled. She turned around and looked at Zhou Chuxuan in confusion: "What do you mean by muddying the water?"

"That's right. You must go to the Fuling Army camp now and find General Han. No! You can't go there!"

Zhou Chuxuan suddenly stopped talking midway, lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying softly, "Miss Nangong, perhaps, I need to ask you for a favor now!"

Nangong Yanling smiled slightly: "Your Highness, please feel free to speak. I am now in a cooperative relationship with Your Highness. We have the same goals, so there is naturally no question of whether to ask for a favor or not!"

"In that case, Miss Nangong, please mobilize an elite force from your command, sneak into the capital, and write down the contents of those cloths on pieces of paper. Then, post them in the streets and alleys of the capital, so that everyone will know that Emperor Wu Zhou Wanjiang's lifelong pursuit is this illusory legend, not ruling the country!"

Nangong Yanling frowned slightly. "But, nowadays, it's not just us who know these secrets. Zhou Heng and the others are also involved! If we do this, won't we be exposing ourselves?"

"Not necessarily!" Zhou Chuxuan shook his head gently: "Don't forget, I'm dead now. If Zhou Wanjiang wants to suspect something, he'll start by suspecting others! Besides, isn't it better to arouse their suspicion? I said, I want to completely stir up trouble in this pool of water!"

"By then, everything will become confusing and no one will dare to act rashly! I will expose all these Liao spies and let everyone see that it is the Liao people who are instigating internal strife in the Wu Dynasty!"

"At this time, the people will panic and place their hopes on Emperor Wu. However, Emperor Wu does not focus on saving the people of the world. Instead, he pursues an illusory legend!"

"Do you think the people will be disappointed?"

Nangong Yanling thought for a moment, then nodded: "By doing this, we will expose Zhou Wanjiang's true face to the public for everyone to see and know!"

"That's right! Then, you and the Fuling Army can take action! Break into the Heavenly Prison directly, bring out all those Liao spies, and behead them all in the busiest place in the capital!"

"If any Liao people come to rescue us at this time, we will kill them all! We must let the people know that even though King Xiaoyao is dead, he still cares about the people and the world! This is much better than Zhou Wanjiang, who only cares about his own immortality!"

Nangong Yanling nodded: "It's indeed a good idea, but the prison is heavily guarded. Can we break in?"

"Haha, tight security?" Zhou Chuxuan sneered. "It won't be long before Zhou Wanjiang transfers most of the Imperial Guards and the Royal Guards. He's going to Qingzhou to pursue that elusive truth!"

"Besides, how much do you not believe that all living beings are equal in your hands?"

Zhou Chuxuan seemed to have remembered something: "Oh, I really forgot to ask Han Dangjia, how many of the Equality of All Beings have been built now?"

"General Han mentioned to me before that he needed more than fifty equal weapons and dozens of boxes of grenades! But we don't have enough materials now!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded and frowned slightly. This was indeed a big problem. Gunpowder in this era was really not sufficient. It was not that there was not enough raw materials, but that their smelting technology was too poor!

"Perhaps, you should go find General Murong!"

"Ok?"

......

"What? I've already left the gunpowder factory!"

Murong Xue looked at Nangong Yanling in disbelief: "Miss Nangong, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Is it really..."

Suddenly, Murong Xue realized she had spoken too loudly. She quickly glanced outside the tent and lowered her voice, "Miss Nangong, I don't even know who the general currently guarding the gunpowder factory is! Besides, even if I knew, I can't guarantee they would give us the smelting tools and raw materials, right?"

"In that case, we can only use Your Highness's method!"

"any solution?"
