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

Silver Fox did not explain, but turned and walked out the door. Xu Qinglong did not call him, but just looked at Silver Fox's back deeply, and an ominous premonition quickly came to his mind.

He quickly opened the paper Silver Fox had left on the table, only to see the scribbled words on it: "The grassland tribes are colluding with the Southern Liang Kingdom and are about to launch an action against the Wu Dynasty!"

"Evacuate immediately, there is an insider in the capital!"

Xu Qinglong's hair stood on end. At this point, how could he not understand what Silver Fox had just said? Silver Fox had never intended to harm him from the beginning to the end.

I just want him to evacuate the capital as soon as possible to prevent him from being persecuted.

Thinking of this, Xu Qinglong desperately chased after him on crutches.

However, when he arrived at the inn where he had traded with Silver Fox in the past, he pushed open the door and suddenly found Silver Fox's body with his eyes wide open and a slight smile on his lips.

It seems to be a kind of relief after being liberated.

Xu Qinglong's pupils suddenly shrank. He slowly stepped forward, squatted down, and closed Silver Fox's eyes with trembling hands: "Silver Fox, don't worry, I won't leave. Together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will find the person behind this and crush him to pieces!"

Xu Qinglong staggered back to the mansion and suddenly his eyes went dark and he fainted. When he opened his eyes again, Zhou Chuxuan was sitting in front of the bed with a smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness?"

Xu Qinglong was about to stand up and salute, but Zhou Chuxuan held him down: "Father-in-law, you are not feeling well right now, so don't get up yet!"

"Tell me, what happened to make our usually steady father-in-law so angry?"

Looking at Zhou Chuxuan's deep eyes and the Emperor's Sword at his waist, Xu Qinglong instantly understood everything. He lay back on the bed and sighed, "Your Highness, I want to rest for a while. I'll go find Your Highness after I've rested enough!"

Zhou Chuxuan naturally understood what Xu Qinglong was thinking. He smiled slightly, stood up and left the room: "Father-in-law, just have a good rest. When you feel better, come find me in the courtyard."

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Zhou Wanjiang has not reached the point of being licentious and immoral, he has just trapped himself in a dead end. As a minister, Xu Qinglong knows that the master he has served for many years is gone, so it is normal for him to feel a little lonely.

"Let's go, General Murong!"

Murong Xue had said before that she wanted to go to the gunpowder factory to visit the old housekeeper who had always followed her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she left Xu Qinglong's mansion, she saw Murong Xue standing in front of the door blankly with lifeless eyes.

"Your Highness, the old butler has passed away!"

Murong Xue's voice was filled with endless sorrow, and her beautiful eyes were filled with sadness: "He was the one who brought me up. Without him, I might not be alive today!"

"Every time I was beaten with a military stick, he was the one who applied medicine to me and took care of me so I could rest..."

Murong Xue was obviously much older than Zhou Chuxuan, but now her eyes were red and she squatted on the ground like a child, crying.

The autumn wind was blowing fiercely on the street. Passersby did not know who Zhou Chuxuan and Murong Xue were. They just thought they were the son and daughter of some wealthy family.

"General Murong, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences!"

Zhou Chuxuan pondered for a while, then walked forward and gently put his coat on Murong Xue, feeling helpless.

When faced with this kind of love between a man and a woman, I am the least able to speak, but it is him who has to face it every time.

"Your Highness, I, I want to send the old butler back to his hometown, bury him, and then return to the capital after some time!" Murong Xue lowered her head, not even daring to look up.

Zhou Chuxuan nodded gently, took out a five-hundred-liang silver note from his pocket and handed it over: "Bury him properly, and I'll get a share of this too!"

The Wu Dynasty is now in turmoil. He must stay in charge of the Wu Dynasty and cannot leave with Murong Xue.

Murong Xue knew this, of course. She took the banknote and, before Zhou Chuxuan could stop her, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to him: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Ugh!"

He returned to his mansion alone, and was greeted by Su Qiaoer: "Your Highness, why did you come back at this time? Sister Qimuge has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"What?"

Zhou Chuxuan walked into the yard and saw Qimuge sitting in the middle of the courtyard. The corner of his mouth twitched. This woman really seemed to be haunting.

"Princess Qimuge, now that the war in the Wu Dynasty is over and the Liao Kingdom has been defeated, why are you still staying here?"

Xu Hanyan did not come out, perhaps because she did not want to see Qimugege.

Qimuge smiled and twisted her charming figure to come before Zhou Chuxuan: "Your Highness, why are you so heartless? Don't you miss me at all?"

"I am the princess of Liang Country, and I came here specifically to arrange a marriage with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Marriage?"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head slightly, untied the Emperor's Sword from his waist and set it aside. He grabbed half of the steamed bun on the table and stuffed it into his mouth. "Princess Qimuge, if you didn't have poison on you, and if the guards around you didn't constantly collect maps of the Wu Dynasty, maybe I would still believe what you said."

During this period, Zhou Chuxuan discovered more than once that Qimugege wanted to drug him, but in the end she did not do so.

But the female guards around her were always observing the terrain of the capital and its surroundings and secretly recording it. This was what Han Bin told her and what Nangong Yanling observed.

Qimuge's pupils shrank slightly, but he didn't look scared at all. He still looked at Zhou Chuxuan with a bright smile: "So, what does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to do with me?"

Compared to Qimugege's calmness, the two female guards behind her looked at Zhou Chuxuan nervously, and even touched the sharp blades at their waists.

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled and swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth. "You two, I advise you not to take action. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your princess. You have seen my methods!"

The two female guards looked at each other, and their minds unconsciously recalled the scene of the tragic death of 600,000 Liao soldiers on the city wall, as well as the scene of Zhou Chuxuan killing someone with one strike from two hundred steps away.

The two of them couldn't help but shiver all over.

"Princess Qimuge, you are a princess of Liang Country. I can't say I will punish you, but I can tell you clearly now that you should forget about the marriage!"

Zhou Chuxuan said in a deep voice: "Return to Liang State, and from now on, do not harbor any evil thoughts towards our Wu Dynasty. We can still live in harmony and not invade each other!"

"hehe!"

Seeing Zhou Chuxuan's serious expression, Qimuge couldn't help but laugh: "Your Highness, do you think it's possible?"
