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

Zhou Chuxuan stared at Zhang Wu in shock, and after a long pause he finally uttered, "Old Taoist Priest, aren't you being too modest? 1,800 Taoist children? That's enough to travel all over the country, to every mountain and river, and bring you intelligence from all over the world!"

Zhang Wu smiled softly, but in Zhou Chuxuan's opinion, there was a hint of cunning in that smile. "Your Highness, let's not talk about this for now. What are your plans for Zhang Baitian and the others?"

"I......"

Zhou Chuxuan was about to say something, but suddenly seemed to remember something, frowned and looked at Zhang Wu: "Old Taoist priest, you are proficient in Qimen Bagua, I think you know what I want to do?"

Zhang Wu's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard this, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, although I am proficient in these things, I have to say that I can't predict your affairs!"

"what?"

Zhou Chuxuan was slightly startled, his face full of confusion: "What does this mean?"

"To be honest, I can't even calculate your existence!"

Zhang Wu shook his head, staring straight at the darkness in the distance, his eyes shrouded in confusion. "I don't know why, but every time I read your fortune, it's as if you've vanished into thin air, as if you don't even exist in this world!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded when he heard this. In fact, he already had the answer in his heart. Perhaps it was because he was a time traveler and did not belong to this world.

However, this is my biggest secret and I will never reveal it to anyone.

Even to Zhang Wu.

"Old Taoist priest, should I say that I am blessed, or should I say that I am a person abandoned by God?"

Faced with Zhou Chuxuan's teasing tone, Zhang Wu did not respond to the teasing as usual, but shook his head: "Your Highness, it may be a good thing for the overall situation, but it is not the case for you!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Chuxuan was stunned: "What do you mean, old Taoist priest?"

"Your Highness's current state makes it impossible for the Jin prince's lineage to understand your motives. They also cannot predict what you will do through divination. Therefore, Your Highness can use this advantage to win the battle against the Jin prince!"

"But this situation is clearly not right. I have studied divination all my life and have inherited the teachings of the old Taoist priest, but now I cannot figure out the location of His Highness!"

"This... I can't explain it either. I just feel something is wrong! After all, God will never favor someone without a reason!"

Zhou Chuxuan was silent for a while. He had to admit that this Taoist priest Zhang Wu was indeed very meticulous.

This also made Zhou Chuxuan secretly alert. Even if such a person independently created a gang, and then slowly expanded it, it was possible that he would eventually compete for the court.

But why would such a capable group of people choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and choose to help the emperor of the time?

If they said that this was the inheritance of their lineage, Zhou Chuxuan was half believing and half doubting.

For example, the lineage of Prince Jin is also the descendant of the old Heavenly Master, but now they are also secretly fighting for power and status in the court.

"Your Highness, it's late! Go back!"

Taoist Zhang Wu sighed, looked at Zhou Chuxuan deeply, and stood up and left first.

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Zhang Wu's back, a hint of sadness flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Although Taoist Zhang Wu kept saying that he supported him, Zhou Chuxuan was no longer a child. As the crown prince of the Wu Dynasty, he could ascend the throne and become Emperor Wu as long as he cleared the obstacles.

In this situation, he had to be on guard against someone as capable as Zhang Wu.

For example, the lineage of Prince Jin is the best example. The lineage of Prince Jin is a real blood relative of the royal family, but in the end they still left their homeland and are now beginning to seek the throne of the Wu Dynasty.

Who knows if Zhang Wu will become the next King of Jin?

You have to know that Zhang Wu's methods are even more terrifying than those of King Jin. With the help of 1,800 Taoist children, he can control the affairs of the world without leaving his house. This is even more terrifying than Emperor Wu who sits on the throne.

Zhou Chuxuan also slowly stood up and walked back to his tent, leaving tomorrow's worries for tomorrow.

The next morning, Zhou Chuxuan had just come out of the tent when he suddenly realized that there was an uneasy atmosphere surrounding the camp. Murong Xue was still standing in the distance with a frown on her face.

Zhou Chuxuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately had an ominous premonition. He quickly stepped forward and asked, "General Murong, what happened?"

Murong Xue glanced at Zhou Chuxuan, pointed at the local soldier and said, "This soldier is dead!"

"what?"

Zhou Chuxuan hurried forward and looked at the soldiers on the ground. Although their eyes were still open, there was a hint of fear in their eyes, as if they had witnessed something horrible before they died.

The soldier was still holding an AK in his hand and obviously had no time to shoot.

Zhou Chuxuan suddenly took a breath of cold air. Who on earth was this person who could prevent a soldier from firing in time?

"its not right!"

Suddenly, Zhou Chuxuan noticed something was wrong. He looked at the soldier sitting on the ground and suddenly turned to Murong Xue: "Why doesn't he have any wounds on his body?"

Murong Xue's brows were filled with solemnity. "I don't know. We just checked the soldier's body and found no wounds on his body. However, he simply died of suffocation. There was not even a sign of strangulation."

Zhou Chuxuan looked at the soldiers around him and asked, "Who was on guard last night?"

The soldiers looked at each other, and finally one of them stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, this is the brother on guard duty! But, we saw him walking around the camp around midnight!"

"But, when he woke up early, he already..."

Zhou Chuxuan snorted coldly: "Everyone, camp here, load your guns, General Murong, old Taoist priest, the three of us will go take a look around!"

"Yes!"

As he spoke, Zhou Chuxuan took the two of them to wander around the dense forest and discovered that there was a village not far away.

At this time, when we were getting up early, there was wisp of smoke rising, which must be someone making breakfast.

Murong Xue pointed to the village in the distance and said, "Your Highness, why don't we go to the village ahead and ask? Perhaps there are any bandits around here!"

Zhou Chuxuan took a deep breath: "Let's go and take a look!"

Even so, Zhou Chuxuan did not think that the soldier died at the hands of bandits.

There wasn't even a single wound on his body, but he was dead!

This was extremely strange, and Zhou Chuxuan couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

"Wait!"
