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

"Clap clap clap!"

A series of slapping sounds came from the darkness, getting closer and closer.

Xu Qinglong used his crutches to support himself and sat up. He looked at the black-robed woman in front of him and asked, "Did you do this?"

He tried his best to recall, but found that he had no idea who the person in front of him was.

"Which faction do you belong to? What hatred do you have with my Xu family? How could you be so cruel?"

Facing Xu Qinglong's questioning, Salem Meng simply held out his hand: "Six hundred thousand! A real six hundred thousand!"

When this number appeared, Xu Qinglong's pupils suddenly shrank, and it was obvious that he understood everything: "You, you are from Liao!"

Previously, the Liao Kingdom had its 600,000-strong army destroyed by their Wu Dynasty. If they had taken action, it would have been reasonable.

Salem Meng nodded, a sneer playing on his lips. "Xu Qinglong, Lord Xu, you are only Zhou Chuxuan's trusted confidant. Now, seeing your entire family being wiped out, how do you feel? Do you regret not siding with the Liao Dynasty?"

Xu Qinglong snorted coldly, his face full of disdain: "Although I don't know where you, woman, come from, but I hope you remember that in the Wu Dynasty, not everyone can come and go as they please!"

"As a minister of the Wu Dynasty, I am loyal to the Wu Dynasty. Even if the emperor changes again and again, I am loyal to the Wu Dynasty only! You want to overthrow the Wu Dynasty, that is wishful thinking."

"Master Xu, at this point, if you still want to stay alive, answer my questions honestly!"

Salem Meng's eyes flashed with a cold look. He raised his sword and shook it gently between his fingers. "I just want to know if Zhou Chuxuan is really dead. You only need to answer yes or no. Say one more word and I will chop you down right now!"

Unexpectedly, Xu Qinglong was not afraid at all. He directly stood up from the ground with his crutches and said, "You bitch, are you worthy? Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is dead, the Wu Dynasty is not something you can shake..."

Salem Meng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Humph, if you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"

......

"What? My dad's dead?"

Xu Hanyan looked at Hu Yongwei in disbelief, her eyes filled with shock. "When did this happen?"

Hu Yongwei lowered his head with a hint of guilt. "Crown Princess, just this morning, the Imperial Guards discovered Lord Xu's severed head hanging high in front of the Xu family's residence. They rushed in to search and discovered that all the Xu family members were dead. Even a three-year-old child was not spared. It's a complete annihilation of the entire family!"

Snapped!

The bowl in Xu Hanyan's hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Her vision went dark and she fainted. Fortunately, Murong Xue caught her in time.

The hot-tempered Ma Sandao shouted angrily, "Damn it! Who dared to commit such a murder in secret? Order the troops and follow me to search the city for the murderer!"

Han Bin immediately stopped him: "Second brother, be careful and don't speak too loudly!"

"Brother, the Crown Prince was just poisoned to death by thieves, and now the Crown Princess's family has been wiped out. Isn't this a provocation to us?"

Ma Sandao's eyes were filled with grief and indignation, his eyeballs bloodshot. "Your Highness saved our lives, and the Crown Princess is also kind. They are being hurt, and we are just standing here and doing nothing?"

"Brother, please stop talking. I will lead my troops to the Crown Princess's residence and check it out to see if we can find any clues!"

Seeing Ma Sandao rushing out the door, Han Bin sighed helplessly: "Miss Nangong, I'll go over and take a look! I'll trouble you to take care of the Crown Princess here!"

Nangong Yanling nodded. She had never expected that such a tragedy would happen overnight.

Being wiped out of an entire family, being wiped out in the capital, how terrible is that?

At this moment, Canglang jumped down from the roof with a gloomy face: "I saw what happened last night!"

"what?"

Hearing this, Nangong Yanling was shocked, and a cold look flashed in his eyes: "Who killed the Xu family?"

Canglang said in a deep voice: "A woman!"

"woman?"

Nangong Yanling frowned and stared at Canglang, as if he had thought of something: "Since you have already seen it, why didn't you stop it?"

With Canglang's skills, even Nangong Yanling would be slightly inferior to him. How could he not be able to stop the other party alone?

Canglang's eyes were gloomy, but his expression was extremely calm. His voice was flat, as if he was explaining a trivial matter: "I only obey orders from Your Highness. Without Your Highness's orders, I will not take action."

"you!"

Nangong Yanling's eyes flashed with coldness: "Then you will watch helplessly as the Crown Princess's family is slaughtered?"

Even though she knew that Xu Hanyan did not have a good relationship with the people in her family, they were still her direct blood relatives. Moreover, even her father had his head chopped off and hung outside the mansion.

Canglang felt Nangong Yanling's anger, but being aloof by nature, he did not offer any further explanation: "I only obey His Highness's orders!"

At the beginning, Miss Xueyao asked him to obey Zhou Chuxuan's orders from now on, so he would only do so. Not to mention the Xu family being slaughtered, even if the entire Wu Dynasty was destroyed, it would have no effect on Canglang.

"good very good!"

Nangong Yanling was helpless and could only shake Xu Hanyan in her arms a few times: "Crown Princess, Crown Princess, wake up!"

After a long time, Xu Hanyan finally woke up from her coma, but she still couldn't believe what had happened: "My father, is my father really dead?"

Murong Xue, Han Bin and others had returned and were standing not far away, their faces filled with heaviness and sadness. They didn't even dare to look up at Xu Hanyan's eyes.

They were Zhou Chuxuan's most capable subordinates, and this happened in the capital, yet they allowed the villain to commit such evil and kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now the Crown Princess's family has also been killed!

Nangong Yanling waved his hand and said, "Seal off the Xu family. I'll go check on them tonight. Also, spread the word that the murderer who massacred the Xu family has been brought to justice. Don't cause panic in the capital!"

"Yes!"

Unconsciously, Han Bin and others have regarded Nangong Yanling as their backbone. When Zhou Chuxuan is not around, they will naturally obey Nangong Yanling's orders.

"Crown Princess, you take a rest first. I'll go talk to His Highness!"

Following the secret passage underground, Nangong Yanling looked at Zhou Chuxuan, who was facing the wall in deep thought, and whispered, "Your Highness, something has happened."

"Ok?"

Zhou Chuxuan, who was observing the map, felt a sudden throbbing in his heart when he heard the words. He dropped the brush in his hand and turned to look at Nangong Yanling: "What happened?"
