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

"Oh?"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled, and the two of them walked down the mountain along the path: "Tell me, you really know how to pick the time!"

"Your Highness, please leave the Black Armor Guards to me!" Nangong Yanling looked at Zhou Chuxuan with burning eyes, a solemn look in his eyes.

Zhou Chuxuan was also stunned. He looked at Nangong Yanling and confirmed that he had heard correctly. He smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Nangong, it's a small thing for me to give it to you, but you should know that this is a double-edged sword, and it's very sharp. Even I am not very willing to use it now."

This is the truth. Zhou Chuxuan learned from Canglang that once these black-armored guards took off their masks, they would not recognize each other and would only recognize the tokens.

But now, Zhou Wanjiang is dead. Logically, they should be loyal to the royal family. For so many years, since they were born, they have been indoctrinated with the instruction to serve the emperor.

Do they really only obey tokens?

Nangong Yanling pondered for a moment: "But right now, there really is no one who can replace the Black Armor Guards better, not even Su Hongye and her men!"

"We have all witnessed the Black Armor Guard's strong ability to get things done. Moreover, their strong execution ability is like a sharp blade in the darkness, able to quickly tear through the fog and reach the enemy!"

"If we want to quickly establish a secret intelligence network to monitor the Southern Region and Liang Country, this is essential!"

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a long time, and finally handed the token to Nangong Yanling: "Be careful in everything. If things are impossible, I hope you can come back alive!"

Nangong Yanling was slightly startled, then chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will!"

Looking at Nangong Yanling's gradually disappearing back, Zhou Chuxuan sighed deeply. He felt a little uneasy as if he had lost something.

"Never mind. Maybe it's because she saved me a lot of trouble when she was here. She's my right-hand man, I guess!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head and gave himself a pretty good hint in his mind.

"Your Highness, why did I see Miss Nangong taking everyone from Jiulong Mountain away? She is..."

The carefree Ma Sandao started yelling as soon as he saw Zhou Chuxuan, but was interrupted by his eldest brother Han Bin who was standing next to him and said, "Shut up and listen to His Highness!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded gently: "There are indeed some things. I will tell you about them later! So, are there any casualties among our people?"

Han Bin smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Your Highness. Don't you have standards in mind for the weapons you developed? That would be a nightmare for the enemy. We pushed all the way up the mountain, and other than one of our brothers spraining his ankle, there were no other problems!"

Ma Sandao cursed and said, "I'll go beat that brat up later. He's been walking on mountain roads for so many years, and he still sprained his ankle? Otherwise, our Fuling Army would be intact this time."

Everyone: "..."

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Zhou Chuxuan and the others walked towards the camp, observing the surrounding situation. He said, "Send soldiers to comfort the people of Qingzhou, distribute food and gold and silver, and appease the people!"

Han Bin nodded: "Don't worry, Your Highness! I have asked my brothers to prepare."

"Well, let's get ready and return to the capital!"

......

In the capital, the Xu family mansion.

Xu Qinglong looked at the man in black in front of him in shock, his eyes filled with panic: "You, how dare you appear here?"

"Haha, Lord Xu, you used to make deals with us, so why don't you do it now? The revitalization of countless tribes on our grasslands depends on you!"

The man in black wore a fox mask on his face, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"Silver Fox, how many people are there in your grassland tribe right now, including the elderly, the weak, women, children, and the few remaining strong men? No more than 20,000 or 30,000, right?"

"What's the point of having so much military equipment? Can you attack the northern border of the Wu Dynasty again?"

Xu Qinglong frowned. Ever since Zhou Chuxuan hinted to him last time, he had never done business with the grassland tribes again. He didn't expect that this group of people would dare to enter the capital.

The Wu Dynasty is indeed in a precarious situation today, but with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here, everything is getting better. How dare they blatantly enter the capital and come to his own mansion?

Zhou Chuxuan's current methods have made Xu Qinglong feel extremely wary. Last time, for some reason, his secret deal was exposed. Xu Qinglong still hasn't figured out how he was exposed.

Silver Fox smiled softly, then sat down in front of Xu Qinglong leisurely, pouring himself a bowl of tea. "Master Xu, you're asking too much. Money and goods are exchanged. Even if we pay the money and take the goods to visit our ancestors' graves, it doesn't seem to be Master Xu's business, right?"

Xu Qinglong heard a different meaning from Silver Fox's words. He narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted coldly: "Silver Fox, you seem to be in a bit of a bad state today."

In fact, he had never had a real face-to-face transaction with Silver Fox. He always arranged for his subordinates to do it, but he and Silver Fox were old acquaintances, and had known each other for at least more than ten years.

Back then, they met in the northern border. Although Xu Qinglong knew that this guy was an alien, Silver Fox was a businessman. He could not only bring him a lot of income, but also help him expand his intelligence network.

Over the years, Silver Fox had met with him before to exchange information, but each time, Silver Fox's attitude was not as arrogant as today.

Today's Silver Fox gave him the feeling that he had a backer and was not afraid of him at all.

Silver Fox sneered, "Master Xu, just tell me whether you want to continue the deal or not. If you do, I'll give you the latest information. If not, we'll go our separate ways from now on!"

Xu Qinglong slowly stood up from his chair and stared at Silver Fox coldly: "No, that's not right! Silver Fox, you seem a little fearless today, don't you?"

"Haha, Lord Xu, I was giving you face before, so naturally I had to be more humble to you. But now our grassland tribe no longer needs to live under the whims of your Wu Dynasty!"

Silver Fox slammed the table, stood up, and placed a roll of papers on the table: "From now on, the friendship between Master Xu and Silver Fox is severed!"

"And I also advise Lord Xu not to be self-righteous, and not to take risks. The Grassland Tribe has not yet been completely defeated. Perhaps it won't be long before the Wu Dynasty and the Grassland Tribe will switch places!"

"What do you mean?"
