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

"No, no!"

Zhou Wanjiang retreated in panic. Facing Zhou Chuxuan holding the Emperor's Sword, he really felt panic and fear. Zhou Chuxuan really wanted to kill him.

Zhou Chuxuan, holding the Emperor's Sword, stepped forward: "Father, this may be the last time I call you Father!"

"No, no, you can't kill me now!" Zhou Wanjiang seemed to have thought of something: "I have hidden the imperial seal. Without it, you will never be the ruler of the Wu Dynasty, nor the Emperor Wu!"

"Hahaha!"

Then, Zhou Wanjiang burst into laughter in front of everyone like a madman: "Zhou Chuxuan, you didn't expect it, did you? You went to great lengths to force me into a desperate situation, but you didn't expect to take the step of passing on the imperial seal?"

"Hahahaha! You can't kill me. Not only can you not kill me, but you also have to watch me find the art of immortality and achieve true immortality? What do you think, Zhou Chuxuan?"

Nangong Yanling and Murong Xue exchanged a glance, anger in their eyes: "Your Highness, we will help you find the Imperial Seal. You cannot keep it here!"

Zhou Wanjiang glared at the two women and shouted, "You are just a remnant of Jiulong Mountain. I really hate myself for not killing you all. And there is only a young general who can't speak. These are just a rabble, people who are not up to par. I didn't expect that you, Zhou Chuxuan, would actually use them!"

There was a cold flash in Zhou Chuxuan's eyes. He took a step forward and cut off Zhou Wanjiang's leg with a sword. Blood spurted out. Zhou Wanjiang wailed in pain. The soldiers next to him trembled, fearing that the next sword would hit them.

"Zhou Wanjiang, remember, your imperial seal is worthless in my eyes!"

"If you want, why not start anew and create a new world? Why do you have to continue with your corrupt dynasty?"

"What did you say?"

Zhou Wanjiang's laughter suddenly stopped, like a duck that was suddenly grabbed by the neck. He suddenly looked at Zhou Chuxuan with wide eyes: "You, what are you going to do? Are you going to overthrow the Wu Dynasty?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha......"

Zhou Wanjiang shook his head and laughed wildly: "Zhou Chuxuan, I thought you were a smart man, but I didn't expect that you are a complete idiot, idiot! The Wu Dynasty is not doomed yet, and you are dreaming of overthrowing the Wu Dynasty now, that is simply wishful thinking!"

Zhou Chuxuan turned the Emperor's Sword in his hand over, looked at Zhou Wanjiang, and stabbed him fiercely with the sword. In the cave, Zhou Wanjiang's arrogant laughter suddenly stopped.

Blood splattered on the Emperor's Sword, Zhou Chuxuan's body, and face, but his eyes remained as deep and calm as ever, without any ripples.

Nangong Yanling behind gently loosened her tightly clenched hand, a look of relief flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Zhou Wanjiang is really dead!

The great revenge of Jiulong Mountain has finally been taken!

Tears gleamed in Su Hongye's eyes. She slowly knelt on the ground and muttered to herself, "Sister, did you see that? Zhou Wanjiang is dead. The evil Zhou Wanjiang is finally dead!"

The Qingzhou soldiers kneeling nearby were terrified upon seeing this scene. Their eyes were filled with fear as they kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness, please spare our lives! We are willing to follow Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, please spare your life!"

Zhou Chuxuan even dared to kill Zhou Wanjiang without blinking an eye, let alone these unknown soldiers?

Fortunately, Zhou Chuxuan did not intend to kill them all. He did not kill these ordinary soldiers who followed orders. He just waved his hand and said, "Go back to Qingzhou and wait for the next Qingzhou governor to take office!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

......

"Your Highness, I may have to say goodbye to you."

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Nangong Yanling with a little surprise: "Miss Nangong, are you going to..."

He already had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud. He just looked at Nangong Yanling, waiting for her to speak out.

Nangong Yanling looked at Zhou Chuxuan deeply, while Murong Xue and others beside him walked away consciously. After being with Zhou Chuxuan and Nangong Yanling for such a long time, they still had some basic tacit understanding.

There are some things that the two of them definitely don't want others to hear.

"Your Highness, in fact, I did cooperate with you from the beginning with the intention of using you. During the time we were together, I was always cautious and wary, fearing that you would completely destroy me like those court officials did back then."

Nangong Yanling and Zhou Chuxuan slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the scenery below the mountain, took a long breath, and slowly spoke out what was in their hearts.

"However, your actions later completely overturned my perception of you, Your Highness, and I gradually let down my guard. Therefore, I am leaving here to better arrange for the resettlement of my family members on Jiulong Mountain. My brothers' families are still on the mountain, and I can't leave them without protection, right?"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and nodded: "Of course I understand, just go ahead! I can handle things here myself!"

Nangong Yanling glanced at Zhou Chuxuan and said softly, "Your Highness, after so many days, don't you think I still don't understand what you are thinking? You must have something more important to entrust to me, right?"

"Oh?"

Zhou Chuxuan uttered a soft "oh" and looked at Nangong Yanling in surprise, teasing, "I didn't realize that Miss Nangong has become a worm in my stomach! She actually knows what I'm thinking right now!"

"Well, there is indeed an important task for you to complete!"

"Tell me, although I have left Your Highness, I have no choice but to work for Your Highness!" Nangong Yanling nodded. She was just used to being idle and was not suitable to be an official in the court.

Moreover, she could not accept the intrigues in the court. If she really wanted, she could go back now, follow Zhou Chuxuan, and become a high-ranking official.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled: "Liang Country!"

Nangong Yanling was extremely intelligent and quickly understood Zhou Chuxuan's meaning: "Your Highness, do you want me to place spies in the Southern Region to monitor the people of Liang Kingdom?"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "Haven't you noticed yet? The Wu Dynasty's intelligence network is too poor. As a result, the entire Wu Dynasty has been infiltrated by outside forces, and we simply don't have any effective way to deal with it!"

Zhou Chuxuan was not used to and did not like living under the surveillance of others every day, especially when facing the Liang Kingdom Princess Qimugege, who knew him very well but he knew very little about her.

He didn't want it to happen again.

"If you have any requests or difficulties, please tell me in time and I will fully support you!"

"Your Highness, there is indeed one thing!"
