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

Feeling the murderous intent from Salem Meng, the shopkeeper immediately trembled all over. He knew very well the strength of his master.

I'm afraid that this time, the capital of the Wu Dynasty will be plunged into another bloody storm.

"Take this and throw it into the well in the capital!"

Salem Meng took out a bottle from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper: "If someone finds out, you know what to do."

The coldness of his voice made the shopkeeper look incredible: "Sir, I, I am still useful!"

"Hmph, shut up!"

Killing intent flashed in Salem Meng's eyes. He kicked the shopkeeper to the ground, then sat on the bed, looking at him coldly: "The Liao army of 600,000 was defeated by the Wu Dynasty. The Liao army lost almost all its elite troops. Now the Liao army can't even organize 20,000 troops. Therefore, I can only come here alone."

The shopkeeper's throat tightened. What he cared about was not this, but his own life or death.

The meaning of Salem's dream just now was that if the poisoning was discovered, he must commit suicide and not let anyone know any information from his mouth.

In other words, from the moment Salem Meng handed him the poison, he had actually given up this chess piece.

"it works?"

"What use are you to?"

Salem Meng clenched her fists, no longer as calm as before. At that time, she was lurking in the dark, watching the corpses of the Liao army's 600,000 soldiers piled up inside and outside the city walls, her heart broken.

This was the power that the Liao Dynasty had accumulated for hundreds of years, but it was completely lost in a great war. Salem Yuan was such a fool!

It's simply arrogant and conceited to the extreme.

This completely cut off the Liao Dynasty's national destiny!

It would be difficult for the Liao Dynasty to recover within at least a hundred years. She has now chosen a new monarch from the Liao Dynasty to lead the Liao Kingdom, and she herself wants to fight Zhou Chuxuan alone.

"But, sir..."

The shopkeeper wanted to defend himself again, hoping to gain a chance of survival. It was true that he was a pawn of the Liao Dynasty, but he had lived in the Wu Dynasty for decades. Now he was old and just wanted to enjoy his old age.

"Have you lost your loyalty to the Liao Dynasty?"

Salem Yuan slowly stood up, pulled out a sharp blade from his waist, and pressed it directly against the shopkeeper's neck: "Wang Bo, I still remember your name. This is your name as a person of the Wu Dynasty. From the moment you came to the Liao Dynasty, this is your real name. Now tell me, what is your name?"

"Reporting to the Lord, I am Wang Bo!"

Wang Bo knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He slowly closed his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate. "I will do my best to complete the task assigned by the adults!"

“It will definitely be done!”

"Very good, you can get out now!"

Salem Meng looked at the sound of Wang Bo leaving, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Disloyalty once, disloyalty a hundred times!

Since you no longer have the same reverence for the Liao Dynasty as you did in the past, and now even your sense of belonging is very indifferent, then what is the point of keeping you?

At the same time, Mingtai, who was enjoying the service of two women in the inn, suddenly felt a strange noise coming from the roof.

Bang!

Before he could react, a man in black had already broken through the roof and dropped from the sky. The flashing cold light made him instantly terrified: "There's an assassin!"

After a loud shout, Mingtai pushed the two women out, and then he rolled out of the room, shouting loudly.

Dozens of soldiers rushed out of the house in an instant, gathered in the yard, and looked vigilantly at the men in black on the roof.

The man in black who had just broken into the house obviously had no intention of attacking the two women. He jumped onto the roof again, holding a spherical object in his hand, and gently pulled open the safety ring.

Although he didn't know what this thing was, the veteran subconsciously pushed Mingtai out.

"Master Mingtai, get out of the way!"

boom!

In an instant, the post station was shaken violently. More than a dozen of the dozens of soldiers in the yard were killed on the spot, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. The rest were injured to varying degrees.

Mingtai, who was pushed away, was also affected by the shockwave. His face turned pale, and he covered his chest and gasped for breath: "Quick, quick, catch the assassin!"

The men in black on the roof succeeded in their attack and did not pursue the enemy. Instead, they quickly shuttled across the roof, left the post station, and disappeared into the night.

Mingtai stared at the dust in the courtyard in shock. He grabbed the old soldier and angrily shouted, "How could there be an assassin in the capital of the Wu Dynasty? How could there be an assassin? Who is it? Who is it?"

Before the old soldier could reply, Mingtai nodded as if suddenly enlightened, and stood up. "I know, I know. It must be Zhou Chuxuan! It must be Zhou Chuxuan! He actually wanted to kill me in order to break his promise to me in the Western Regions!"

"I'm going to the palace tomorrow! Bring everyone with me, and we're going to the palace tomorrow!"

"Sir, calm down. Maybe it's not the Crown Prince of Wu Dynasty!"

The old soldier frowned. Although he also felt that Zhou Chuxuan was suspicious, he could not guess what he was thinking. Why did he try to assassinate Mingtai?

Moreover, judging by the weapon the killer just used, he was clearly capable of killing Mingtai and the others, but the killer clearly held back.

"No, sir, think about it carefully. The group of killers just now were obviously capable of killing us, but after they attacked us, they didn't continue to pursue us. Instead, they left. Don't you think it's suspicious?"

Mingtai gradually calmed down and began to think for a moment with his limited intelligence. "Yes, you have a point, but Zhou Chuxuan is also involved in this matter!"

"This is in the capital of the Wu Dynasty, his territory, and it's also the best post station in the capital. There are also imperial guards patrolling the capital. How could I be assassinated?"

"Raise the stakes. They must compensate the Western Region for its losses!"

Looking at Mingtai shouting and yelling in the yard, the old soldier wanted to draw his sword and chop him.

How could such a person be sent as an envoy?

At this time, the two women in the room looked at each other without a smile on their faces, and saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.

"Hongyue, we will take action tomorrow!"

"Well, even if we can't kill Zhou Chuxuan, we have to capture Xu Hanyan. That way, we have the leverage to control them. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the delegation to leave the capital."

"Canxue, you should comfort this idiot later!"

"Hmph, I really don't know why Lord Yang Li insisted on having him come. Any replacement with someone with brains would be fine!"

"Canxue, these are not our concerns!"
