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

Tai Chi Hall.

All the ministers gathered in the hall, discussing the matter, waiting for the so-called Crown Prince of Baoxiang Kingdom to come to the court.

Zhou Chuxuan and Yang Li stood side by side, followed by Zhou Heguan and other princes, each with a different expression.

However, looking at the expressions of Zhou Heguan and others, they stood there calmly, and it was obvious that they had communicated again in the past few days.

Emperor Wu sat upright on the dragon throne above, looking at Urumu and others who came to the court with a calm expression.

"Why did the prince of Baoxiang Kingdom bring two girls with him to the court?"

"Yes, this is absolutely immoral! Our Wu Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Isn't the Crown Prince of Baoxiang Kingdom too disrespectful to us?"

"You don't know, a few days ago, the Prince of Baoxiang State brought these two girls and wandered around the inner courtyard of the palace, doing whatever they wanted. They simply didn't care about the rules of our Wu Dynasty. Your Majesty actually turned a blind eye and allowed them to do so!"

Urumu turned a deaf ear to the discussions of the court officials around him, stood straight, and just bowed slightly to Emperor Wu above.

"Baoxiang Kingdom, Urumu, greets Emperor Wu of Wu Dynasty!"

"Then Prince, since you have come to pay homage to His Majesty the Wu Dynasty, why don't you kneel down and bow?"

Urumu's behavior immediately aroused the angry condemnation of some court officials, and the second prince Zhou Heguan also immediately stood up to defend Emperor Wu.

"Then Prince, no matter what country you are from, when you come to our Wu Dynasty, you must follow the rules of our Wu Dynasty!"

Wulumu sneered and curled his lips: "Who are you? Your Wu Dynasty has already deployed 100,000 troops on the border. How dare you do anything bad to me?"

"you!"

Zhou Heguan's face turned red with anger. As the second prince of the Wu Dynasty, no one except Emperor Wu dared to speak to him like this.

"Ahem! The Crown Prince of Baoxiang Kingdom has come to the Wu Dynasty. I'm sorry for my poor reception and neglect!" Emperor Wu suddenly said, "My sixth son is here too! Don't you want to have a competition? Go ahead!"

"Father, he..." Zhou Heguan wanted to say something else, but when he met the cold eyes of Emperor Wu, he was so frightened that he dared not speak anymore.

Wulumu looked at Zhou Chuxuan who turned around and couldn't help but sneered: "Your Majesty, if your Crown Prince is only this kind of virtue, I think there is no need to compare!"

"It just so happens that I have two good-looking girls under my command. I brought them from the Western Regions. I tried them out these days and they seem pretty good!"

"If His Royal Highness likes it, I will give it to him! Of course, I hope His Royal Highness will not get involved with the Princess of Liang Country!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the court were immediately excited and they all shouted angrily.

"What exactly do you mean? Insulting our Crown Prince? You've even used this woman yourself, and yet you've got the audacity to say you're going to give her to His Royal Highness?"

"It was Wu Chao who first proposed the marriage with the Princess of Liang. How could you, a prince of a small country in the Western Regions, not seize it openly?"

"Such obscene language can actually be spoken in the court, in public. It is immoral, immoral!"

Just when all the civil and military officials were excited, a voice that no one expected appeared.

"In that case, thank you very much!"

Zhou Chuxuan's words immediately made everyone stunned and looked at him in disbelief.

After a long moment, the shock in Zhou Heguan's eyes turned to anger. "Sixth brother, how can you be so spineless? As the crown prince of the Wu Dynasty, don't you have any integrity at all?"

The other princes also shouted angrily, "That's right, Sixth Brother. As sons of our father, how can we accept such an insulting condition?"

"Sixth brother, tell me, are you secretly colluding with this guy and coming here specifically to humiliate Wu Chao and our father?"

Yang Li also looked at Zhou Chuxuan in shock, obviously not expecting Zhou Chuxuan to have this attitude.

"Your Highness, how can you say such despicable words in public? This is a humiliation to the Wu Dynasty!"

"Ah, the crown prince of our Wu Dynasty is such a man without integrity! What a tragedy for the Wu Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, you must not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do this! His Royal Highness took sick leave a few days ago. I guess his condition hasn't improved. Please ask His Royal Highness to return to the East Palace as soon as possible to recuperate!"

All the ministers spoke up one after another. Urumu stood in the center, looking at Zhou Chuxuan and Emperor Wu who were silent with an arrogant look on his face.

After a long pause, Emperor Wu finally spoke, "Prince of Baoxiang State, since you wish to compete with Old Six, I will not interfere with your contest, no matter what it is! Please proceed!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded slightly, took two steps towards Wulumu, and said with a smile: "I will accept the two girls sent by His Highness for now! But we still have to have this competition!"

"Haha, do you really want to humiliate yourself?" Wulumu looked Zhou Chuxuan up and down with disdain: "Okay, then I will grant your wish!"

"For the first item, how about we have a bow and arrow competition?"

On the school field.

Emperor Wu and all the civil and military officials sat on a high platform, gazing at Zhou Chuxuan and Urumu below. Both of them were riding on tall horses, holding bows and arrows in their hands.

However, upon closer inspection, Zhou Chuxuan also had a crossbow hanging around his waist.

"May I ask Your Highness Urumu, are there any rules for this fight?" Zhou Chuxuan said with a light laugh.

Urumu laughed out loud: "Hahahaha! As long as you can beat me on horseback and knock me off my horse, even if you throw a spear, it's fine!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded, waiting for his words!

He then threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, replaced it with the crossbow at his waist, and slowly crossed his legs on the horse.

"Huh? Are you looking down on me?" Urumu's smile suddenly faded, and anger flashed in his eyes: "Your Highness, Crown Prince of Wu Dynasty, think carefully, my archery and horsemanship are unmatched in Baoxiang Kingdom!"

"Later, if I knock you off your horse, don't cry out in pain!"

"It's natural!"

Zhou Chuxuan bowed slightly, with a strange smile on his lips.

The civil and military officials on the high platform watched Zhou Chuxuan take out the crossbow, and they all lowered their heads, trying hard to suppress the upward corners of their lips.

They had all seen the power of the repeating crossbow, which could fire ten crossbow arrows at a time and penetrate heavy armor within two hundred steps.

Yang Li frowned, confused: "What is that thing in your hand, His Royal Highness?"

He had only been in the Wu Dynasty for a short time and did not know much about this type of weapon with little equipment.

Zhou Heguan whispered in his ear, "Prince Consort, that's a repeating crossbow my sixth brother developed himself. It can fire ten arrows at a time, and it's incredibly powerful!"

"Ten crossbow arrows? And disposable?" Yang Li's mind trembled slightly. If this were used as equipment in the army.

Ten thousand people can easily stop an army of one hundred thousand on the opposite side!

As he spoke, Urumu was already riding his horse towards Zhou Chuxuan.

He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Zhou Chuxuan.

But Zhou Chuxuan dodged it and then raised his crossbow and took aim.

"Is it my turn?"
