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

Murong Xue stood beside Zhou Chuxuan, her heart trembling slightly. She had just heard the murderous intent in Zhou Chuxuan's words.

"Your Highness, let's go into the city first and see what's going on!"

Murong Xue whispered, "Perhaps the lord of this city has some unavoidable difficulties, or perhaps there is some reason why he is flying Zhang Baitian's flag."

"it is good!"

Although Zhou Chuxuan agreed verbally, he was actually filled with murderous intent in his heart. He already had a vague idea why Zhang Baitian refused to see him. He was afraid that Zhang Baitian had no intention of being loyal to the Wu Dynasty anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chuxuan looked at Zhang Wu: "Old Taoist priest, is Zhang Baitian's lineage really always loyal to the royal family?"

Zhang Wu nodded without hesitation. "Every commander, Zhang Baitian, has been instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and serving the country since the moment they were born. Therefore, they would never commit the slightest blasphemy against the royal family! However, Your Highness, you must think carefully about your identity!"

Zhou Chuxuan was startled and suddenly seemed to remember something. A shocked expression appeared on his face, and Zhou Shaxuan's voice gradually sounded in his mind.

What is fake is fake and can never become real!

Yes, with Zhang Baitian’s methods, if Zhou Wanjiang was really not dead, then who would Zhang Baitian be loyal to?

Without a doubt, it must be Zhou Wanjiang!

If that's the case, then everything can be explained!

They are all a bunch of old foxes, it’s really hard to kill one or two of them!

Zhou Chuxuan felt inexplicably tired. These damn old foxes were simply too cowardly!

Entering the city, there were many people coming and going on the streets, but they were all in a hurry and seemed to pay no attention to the people around them. They were all heading towards the center of the city.

"Ok?"

Zhou Chuxuan noticed this and winked at Murong Xue beside him. Murong Xue immediately understood and stepped forward to grab a passerby and asked, "Old man, you look so hurried, where are you going?"

The old man glanced at Zhou Chuxuan and the other two, and pointed ahead in a low voice: "Right up ahead, the county magistrate is beheading the rebels! Let's go and take a look!"

"Rebel?"

Zhou Chuxuan was slightly startled, then followed the old man and headed towards the center of the city.

Not long after, in the time it took to burn an incense stick, they arrived at the vegetable market entrance and saw a dozen people tied up on the platform in the middle, both men and women, but all of them had unyielding expressions on their faces.

The executioner stood beside him, while the county magistrate with a goatee sat on the high platform, with his eyes closed and said nothing, as if he was biding his time.

Zhou Chuxuan looked at the tied-up people in confusion, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Xueyue Tower!"

Murong Xue was shocked: "Your Highness, what did you say? They are all from Xueyue Tower?"

"Correct!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded and whispered, "Look, there's a slight blood mark on their necks. It was tattooed there. It's the unique symbol of Xueyue Tower."

"But why were the people from Xueyue Tower arrested by them?"

At the beginning, Canglang once told himself that the owner of Xueyue Tower, Miss Xueyao, had gone to Liao Kingdom to look for the former owner, and her subordinates had indeed gone their separate ways, but why were they arrested here?

"These traitors deserve to die! They killed so many of us civilians that we can't even sleep peacefully!"

"Yes, it is said that these people are colluding with a certain important figure in the court, but we don't know who it is yet!"

"Our county magistrate is truly dedicated to serving the people. He arrested these people just a few days after they started the riot!"

"..."

Zhou Chuxuan listened to the people's discussions and rolled his eyes. He felt that it was not true. Although there were many people in Xueyue Tower, Xueyue Tower had its own rules and at least would not do such a thing as killing innocent people.

These people have industries throughout the Wu Dynasty. Even if the headquarters of Xueyue Tower announced its dissolution, these people can still turn to various industries and will never fall to this level.

As he spoke, the goateed magistrate opened his eyes and threw down the token in his hand: "The time has come. Execute!"

The executioners immediately swung their swords and chopped down the dozen or so people below.

chap!

In a flash, blood splattered all over the ground, but Zhou Chuxuan did not say a word, which surprised Murong Xue next to him.

"Your Highness, why didn't you stop it just now?"

You know, Zhou Chuxuan has a close relationship with Miss Xueyao from Xueyue Tower. Xueyao even sent Canglang to follow Zhou Chuxuan, but this time, Zhou Chuxuan did not come to his rescue.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and followed the people around him to disperse: "General Murong, there are so many things going on in this world. Even if I became the emperor, I can't take care of them all!"

"If I have to take care of everything, won't I be exhausted to death?"

"Besides, we're on a secret visit this time, so we can't reveal our identities. We can't lose sight of the big picture over a small one! I always feel like there's something in Thunder City worth exploring!"

After everyone in the center of the city had dispersed, Zhou Chuxuan brought the two of them to an inn, found an ordinary guest room, and the three of them lived in the same room.

Murong Xue looked at Zhou Chuxuan with shock: "Your Highness, there are differences between men and women. No matter what, we can't live in the same room, right?"

Zhou Chuxuan coughed lightly. "General Murong, you know I don't have much money left, so of course I have to be frugal! Don't worry, I won't peek at you!"

"But there's only one bed here, how can I sleep?"

"This is such a big floor. It should be easy for you to sleep on the floor, right?"

Zhou Chuxuan scratched his head, and Murong Xue was so angry that she was fuming.

She sleeps on the floor?

good good!

Zhang Wu, who was standing by, didn't care at all. He said with a smile, "It's no big deal for me! When I was living in seclusion in the mountains, I often slept on the ground, even on tree branches!"

"Besides, don't worry, little girl Murong. I'm a monk, pure and simple. Even if you take off your clothes, I won't have any inappropriate thoughts. Of course, I won't look at you. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

Looking at Zhang Wu's cunning appearance, Murong Xue put her hands on her chest and shouted angrily, "You old man, you have no shame! I don't believe you!"

"Pooh!"

Looking at the two of them playing and fighting, Zhou Chuxuan chuckled: "Okay, I'll go out and take a look, you guys stay here!"
