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

“Your Highness, Yale Leng is polite!”

Yale Leng bowed slightly with a warm smile on his face, looking extremely gentle, but Zhou Chuxuan still keenly caught the murderous intent in his eyes.

However, Zhou Chuxuan did not expose him, but smiled and said: "Brother Yale, can I be friends with you?"

Yale Leng muttered inwardly, "The Wu Dynasty actually made a fool out of itself the crown prince!"

But on the surface, he was still extremely enthusiastic, even handing his sword to Zhou Chuxuan: "It is my honor to be friends with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. This sword is given to His Royal Highness as a greeting gift!"

Zhou Chuxuan pouted slightly, frowning, as if he was in a dilemma: "Brother Yale, you gave me such a valuable gift, but I don't have anything good to give you!"

The bait is taken!

Yale Leng felt a little excited. What a fool he was. He took the bait so easily!

Outwardly calm, Yale Leng helped Zhou Chuxuan sit on a chair and poured him a cup of tea with a smile: "Your Highness, I heard that you invented a good thing called a repeating crossbow. It's quite good. I wonder if I can get one?"

"A crossbow!" Zhou Chuxuan's eyes lit up, and he slammed the table and said, "Brother Yale, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Yale Leng's eyes. It's not too late, it's not too late now!

"Then may I ask, Your Highness, whether you have the crossbow with you?"

"No, my second brother just told me to go out in a hurry, so I didn't bring it with me. But can Brother Yale go with me to get it?" Zhou Chuxuan licked his fingers and said with a smile.

"Of course, I'm willing to go!" Yale stood up coldly and hid a short sharp blade in his sleeve.

"Okay, let's go now!" When Zhou Chuxuan turned around, a strange arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The night was getting darker and darker, and it was pitch dark without any candlelight on the road.

Although it was Yale Leng's first time in the capital, he had a good sense of himself and quickly discovered something was wrong: "Your Highness, where are you going to get the crossbow?"

"Of course it's the palace. I live in the palace!" Zhou Chuxuan saw that Yale Leng was a little hesitant, and slowly turned around and smiled.

That simple and foolish look gradually let Yale Leng down his guard, but he was still a little worried: "Your Majesty asked me to enter the Taiji Hall tomorrow, and I entered the palace today. Will His Majesty blame me?"

"Brother Yale, don't worry. You are going to get the crossbow, not the Taiji Hall. Our father won't find out!" Zhou Chuxuan assured, patting his chest.

"That's good, that's good!" Yale rolled his eyes coldly, holding the sharp blade tightly in his hand in case of emergency.

"By the way, Brother Yale, this is my token. With this, you can enter and exit the palace freely. You can come and play with me often in the future!"

As Zhou Chuxuan spoke, he took out a jade token from his waist and handed it to Yale Leng.

Yale Leng held it in his hand, but the cold touch could not calm his increasingly restless heart, and he was extremely excited.

Maybe this time he could use this foolish prince to find out more news about the Wu Dynasty, and then bring this magical crossbow back to the Liao Kingdom. One day he would be able to defeat the Wu Dynasty in one fell swoop and become the new ruler of the Central Plains!

"Then, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No, no, it's too late. I won't escort you out. Just take the jade token and leave the palace by yourself!"

As he was speaking, Zhou Chuxuan brought Yale Leng into the East Palace. When he opened the door, he saw Xu Hanyan with a look of surprise on her face.

"Sister Hanyan, this is Brother Yale, a new friend I made!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hanyan blinked her beautiful eyes and whispered, "Master Yale is not an envoy from Liao, so why is he so close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Yale Leng bowed slightly: "I have met the Crown Princess. I felt like I had known His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time, and I even gave him my sword as a gift!"

"Yes, Brother Yale and I are friends now! Sister Hanyan, bring me one of my crossbows. I want to give it to Brother Yale!"

Zhou Chuxuan tugged at Xu Hanyan's sleeve with a smile, and the excitement in Yale's cold eyes became increasingly unconcealable.

"Repeating crossbow? You want to give it to Lord Yale?" Xu Hanyan's pupils trembled slightly. That was something that even Emperor Wu valued. It was said to be of great use to the army. How could it be given to a foreigner so easily?

"Yes, I have already made an agreement with Lord Yale. He gave me his sword. As a friend, how can I not reciprocate?"

Zhou Chuxuan acted as if it was a matter of course, then loosened Xu Hanyan's sleeve, ran quickly to under the bed, took out a crossbow, and handed it to Yale Leng.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yale Leng took the crossbow with a smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Brother Yale, do you like this repeating crossbow very much?" Zhou Chuxuan sat on the ground, looking up at Yale Leng.

"Very good, I really like the gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Yale Leng slowly walked to the window and blew out the candle. Darkness instantly enveloped the entire room.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Hanyan's hair stood on end as she nervously looked at the cold light that appeared in the darkness.

That is Yale Leng's dagger.

"Your Highness, we used to be very good friends, but unfortunately, someone wants to kill you!"

Yale Leng slowly approached Zhou Chuxuan and Xu Hanyan, and slowly unsheathed the sharp blade in his hand.

Although Zhou Chuxuan's smile faded slightly, he still looked cheerful: "Brother Yale, aren't we good friends?"

"Of course we're good friends!" Yale coldly bared his snow-white teeth, looking even more terrifying in the dark. "Someone wants to buy your life, and they're willing to pay for it!"

"Yale Leng, this is the East Palace. Are you sure you can still get out?" Xu Hanyan said coldly, while pulling Zhou Chuxuan's hand and slowly backing away.

"I have to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for giving me the token, which allows me to enter and exit the palace freely!" Yale Leng took out the token, shook it gently a few times, and chuckled.

Xu Hanyan's breathing stagnated, and she couldn't help but look at Zhou Chuxuan.

Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

"Your Highness, how about we be friends in the next life?" Yale Leng raised the sharp blade in his hand and stabbed at the two men.

call out!

However, a crossbow arrow pierced through the darkness and shot directly at Yale Leng's body. A bloody hole appeared instantly, and blood oozed out.

"what!"

Yale Leng screamed and took several steps back. In the darkness, he saw a crossbow appear in Zhou Chuxuan's hand.

"Your Highness, you're so prepared! Are you not stupid?"

Zhou Chuxuan let go of Xu Hanyan's hand and took two steps forward with a smile: "Brother Yale, the crossbow can be big or small. The one I gave you is big, and the one in my hand is small. Didn't you notice?"

"Surround this place!"
