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

Unexpectedly, facing Zhou Chuxuan's respectful attitude, Liu Ji didn't buy it at all. Instead, he sneered: "Sir, let me tell you, everyone who comes here claims to be sincere!"

"But now, my Qingtian Academy has a rule that we don't do business with people from the imperial court!"

Zhou Chuxuan was slightly startled, then looked at the group of young men practicing martial arts and said with a smile, "But, Qingtian Academy is secretly hoarding armor and training martial slaves. What is their intention? Could it be that Qingtian Academy wants to establish itself as a kingdom within a kingdom?"

"What did you say?"

Liu Ji immediately glared, with a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, completely different from the kind-hearted look just now. Those young men who were practicing martial arts also stopped, and a murderous intent instantly filled the dense forest.

Zhou Chuxuan immediately understood that the reason why the Qingtian Academy was able to gain a foothold in the Wu Dynasty was not only because it trained a large number of talented people to enter the court, but also because they clearly had the ability to protect themselves.

Who knows how many mechanisms and martial slaves are hidden in this majestic and magnificent academy. These people are not afraid of any other forces except the imperial army.

"Old sir, I just want to meet the three sages from your Qingtian Academy. Is this a small request? It's said that Qingtian Academy is well-known and practices Confucianism and Taoism, but I didn't expect it to be so exclusive to outsiders!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head and said this deliberately. Logically speaking, although people who practice Confucianism and Taoism are indifferent, once someone insults Confucianism and Taoism, they will definitely stand up to defend it.

But Liu Ji just chuckled softly, then took out a pipe from behind him, lit it, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "Zhou Chuxuan, do you feel that there is no place in this world that you cannot go?"

Zhou Chuxuan was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that this old guy actually knew him. But then he changed his mind and realized that they had some relationship with Zhou Shaxuan, so it was normal for him to recognize this face.

"Mr. Liu, I came here for the stability of the entire Wu Dynasty!"

Zhou Chuxuan said solemnly.

However, Liu Ji looked at Zhou Chuxuan with contempt and blew out another puff of smoke from his mouth: "Zhou Chuxuan, remember, fake will always be fake, it can never become real! Go back and wait, it won't be long before the real Crown Prince will take charge of the Wu Dynasty again, and your fate will be, tut tut tut!"

"Do you consider this a threat?"

Liu Ji nodded: "So be it!"

"Don't think you can rest easy just because you've captured Zhou Shaxuan. I'm actually a little surprised that you thought of Qingtian Academy!"

"Young people are young people. How dare you barge into my Qingtian Academy all by yourself?"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled gently: "Mr. Liu, you study Confucianism, so you should at least learn some mathematics, right? Take a good look, we are clearly two people!"

"Really?"

Liu Ji glanced at Nangong Yanling, who had been silent the entire time, with a strange look, then laughed: "Why don't you look back?"

However, before Zhou Chuxuan could turn around, the hard barrel of a gun was already pressing against the back of his head, followed by a cold voice: "Your Highness, don't move!"

Soon, a delicate hand reached into his clothes and took the pistol from his waist.

"Zhou Chuxuan, you don't look surprised at all?" Liu Ji asked puzzledly while smoking his pipe and looking at Zhou Chuxuan who was controlled by Nangong Yanling.

"Strange? Why should I be surprised?"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled indifferently: "She is the King of Jin's person, you are also the King of Jin's person, including Zhou Shaxuan, but I can't tell who is the side branch and who is the main branch!"

"Miss Nangong, I wonder if you could clear up my confusion. Are you a member of the Jin King's side branch or a direct descendant?"

Nangong Yanling behind him took a deep breath, swallowed back the tears in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you are now in a desperate situation. As long as you agree to serve King Jin and follow me, I will definitely guarantee your safety!"

"hehe!"

Zhou Chuxuan had a relieved smile on his face. Under everyone's shocked gaze, he slowly sat down on the ground: "Miss Nangong, do you know what? I've been waiting for you to be exposed!"

"Oh?"

Nangong Yanling whispered, "Since you already knew, why didn't you take action last night?"

"It's not too late today! Because, in your Equality of All Beings, there are no bullets!"

Zhou Chuxuan turned around and smiled confidently.

"Haha, are you so sure?"

Nangong Yanling looked at Zhou Chuxuan's confident look. For a moment, her hands trembled slightly: "Your Highness, don't force me! I really don't want you to die!"

"Follow me, come back with me! Meet the King of Jin, and you will definitely be given an important position!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head: "You won't!"

"The lineage of the King of Jin is skilled in divination. If I'm not mistaken, if I follow you back, I'll be imprisoned for life in a place without sunlight, or I'll die at your hands! Reuse me? Haha, if you were the King of Jin, would you dare to use me?"

The pistol in Nangong Yanling's hand began to tremble slightly: "But Your Highness, if you don't come with me, you will die now!"

"I don't want you to die!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! That's really touching!"

Liu Ji tapped his pipe lightly on the stone, then stood up and jumped down from the stone. "Nangong Yanling, I hope you can face your own identity squarely. In the lineage of Prince Jin, you cannot have personal feelings. Otherwise, all you face is death!"

Nangong Yanling lowered his head, took a few deep breaths, and said in a deep voice, "I understand! But, Mr. Liu, can I talk to him alone for a few words?"

Liu Ji walked away with his hands behind his back: "Of course, I'm not in a hurry to let him die!"

Nangong Yanling then turned and walked in front of Zhou Chuxuan, biting her lips tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, come with me! You can't defeat Zhou Shaxuan, let alone the King of Jin!"

"They are not trying to destroy the Wu Dynasty, they are just trying to slowly replace the royal family! Under their rule, the Wu Dynasty will definitely get better and better. Your Highness, isn't this what you want to see?"

"Your Highness, please follow me!"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Nangong Yanling and said in an extremely calm voice, "Miss Nangong, you have followed me for such a long time. Was there a moment, even just a moment, when you felt that you were not King Jin's person, but mine?"

"Do you have?"
