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

Zhou Chuxuan did not stay at home for too long. He quickly reorganized the Fuling Army and prepared to march towards Lianhua Mountain again.

You know, now on Lotus Mountain, Zhou Wanjiang and Zhou Wuhen are his biggest concerns.

Just as they were getting ready to leave, Murong Xue ran over and handed Zhou Chuxuan a letter: "Your Highness, this is what the head of Tongfu Inn asked me to give you!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Chuxuan was very confused and immediately got off the carriage. After taking the letter, he found two big words: "Come quickly!"

Moreover, these two big words were obviously written in blood.

Murong Xue, who was standing by, was startled. "Your Highness, has the leader encountered any danger?"

"Quick, notify General Hu Yongwei to seal off all four city gates and not allow anyone in or out! Follow me!"

When Zhou Chuxuan and Murong Xue quickly rushed to Tongfu Inn, they found that everything was normal here. Even the shopkeeper behind the counter greeted them with a smile.

However, there was no waiter or customer in the store, which seemed very strange.

Zhou Chuxuan glanced at the shopkeeper twice without saying anything. He slowly walked into the backyard and saw the leader covered in blood. There were many bullet holes on his body, one of which was close to the heart, and he was dying.

"Chief Helmsman!"

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan's arrival, the chief's eyes flashed with relief. He smiled and took out a token from his arms. There was the word "Jin" written on it.

"Prince Jin's badge?"

Murong Xue had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the origin of the badge.

"Which prince is this?"

Zhou Chuxuan took the badge with suspicion, and read it over and over again, somewhat puzzled by its meaning: "Chief, what on earth happened?"

The chief leader was already exhausted at this point, and he only used up his last bit of strength to say, "Prince Jin, yes, it's Zhou Wuhen's people!"

After saying this, the chief no longer had any strength left. The chief of Tongfu Inn died quietly.

Zhou Chuxuan tightly grasped the blood-stained waist badge in his hand: "Prince Jin, which vassal king is it?"

He also read a lot of history books of the Wu Dynasty, but he never remembered that there was a vassal king named King of Jin?

Murong Xue sighed, "This King of Jin was the King of One Word and One Shoulder back then! However, he later led the troops of his fiefdom on a sea tour and has never been seen since!"

"Prince Jin's territory was also restricted to a small area in the southwest, with only his mansion and the surrounding land of dozens of miles remaining. This is why few people in the Wu Dynasty today still remember this former king who stood shoulder to shoulder with him!"

"only......"

Murong Xue's eyes flickered with a hint of reminiscence. "I once heard someone say that the title of King of Side by Side was left by Emperor Taizu Wu. It's hereditary, so no one can move into the Prince of Jin's mansion!"

"Later, I heard that the King of Jin found a piece of land overseas and built a dynasty that truly belonged to him! He never returned to the Wu Dynasty!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhou Chuxuan's eyes. He slowly stood up from the ground and walked into the lobby with Murong Xue. The shopkeeper was still looking at the two of them with a bright smile, without any fear in his eyes.

"Tell me, what does King Jin mean?"

The fact that this shopkeeper is still standing here and still performing like this can only mean one thing, he is also a subordinate of King Jin!

Murong Xue became alert instantly. She didn't expect that this old shopkeeper, who had always been following the chief, was actually King Jin's man.

The shopkeeper chuckled and slowly put down the abacus in his hand: "Prince Jin means that Your Highness should stop interfering in this matter and give up!"

"Give me a reasonable reason!" Zhou Chuxuan said in a deep voice.

"The Thousand-Faced Young Master Zhou Wuhen is a friend of my King Jin. Just think of it as giving a friend a favor! Therefore, my King Jin must protect the Thousand-Faced Young Master and Zhou Wanjiang!"

"What if I don't?"

There was a murderous look in Zhou Chuxuan's eyes. He had not expected that the Wu Dynasty had become so riddled with holes, with countless forces frantically infiltrating the Wu Dynasty.

I thought that after I got rid of Zhou Wanjiang and Zhou Wuhen and defeated the Liao Kingdom and the Western Regions, the world would be peaceful, but there are always countless forces hidden in the dark that jump out.

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Then, Your Highness may have to bear the wrath of King Jin!"

"Is this a threat?"

"Even if it is!"

Looking at the shopkeeper's fearless eyes, Zhou Chuxuan became angry and pulled out a pistol from his waist.

Bang!

The shopkeeper fell down with shock and unwillingness in his eyes, and blood splattered on the counter.

Murong Xue looked at Zhou Chuxuan with a little shock: "Your Highness, you killed him just like that? Aren't you afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

Zhou Chuxuan said coldly, "What I hate most in my life is someone threatening me. If someone threatens me, then he's dead! He's just a dog, and he dares to bark in front of me!"

"A king who is on par with the Wu Dynasty now has his own power overseas. Doesn't that mean he wants to break away from the control of the Wu Dynasty?"

"It would be fine if they stayed outside the Wu Dynasty, but if they insist on coming to the Wu Dynasty to cause trouble, then I don't mind destroying them!"

When he returned to the city gate, Zhou Chuxuan found Qimuge sitting in his carriage, with his legs crossed, holding an orange and eating it leisurely.

"Princess Qimuge, we are going out to fight. Are you sure you want to follow us?"

Qimuge raised his head and smiled, then jumped off the carriage and came to Zhou Chuxuan, saying with a smile: "Wherever you go, I will go!"

"Ugh!"

The rest of the soldiers lowered their heads and tried to suppress their laughter, fearing that they would laugh out loud.

"You are the princess of Liang. Now that the crisis of Wu Dynasty has been resolved, why do you still insist on staying here?"

Zhou Chuxuan frowned slightly.

"I don't care. The marriage between us hasn't been resolved yet. You can't go anywhere. Otherwise, I will follow you!"

Qimuge's tricky look made Zhou Chuxuan rub his brows with a headache. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something: "If you can promise me one thing, I will allow you to follow!"

"what's up?"

"Come up and talk!"

In the carriage, Zhou Chuxuan said solemnly, "I need you to help me find out the whereabouts of a person, or more precisely, a force!"

Qimuge curled his lips and asked, "What kind of power could make our Crown Prince look so solemn?"

Zhou Chuxuan took out the Prince of Jin's waist badge and handed it to Qimuge. "Princess Qimuge, as the princess of Liang State and the next empress, I believe investigating this should be no problem, right?"

Qimuge looked at the badge over and over again, his expression becoming serious. "I remembered a legend!"
