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

The next morning, a letter was delivered to the gunpowder factory. Murong Xue's face changed after reading it. She gritted her teeth and paced around the room, muttering to herself, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually wants me to serve under him?"

The old servant who had always been accompanying Murong Xue hurriedly bowed and whispered, "The general is still young. What future can he have in a place as filthy as a gunpowder factory? Now that he has the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the general will surely return to his peak position!"

Murong Xue still frowned: "Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't want to find a good future for myself, but to be honest, I don't like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Uncle Wang was horrified. He quickly glanced outside the door, walked over quickly, closed it, and said softly, "General, be careful with your words! If these words are heard by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid you will suffer again!"

Murong Xue looked at Uncle Wang and sighed. He was the old housekeeper of the family back then, but later the family fell into poverty, so he followed her all the way to the capital.

Her parents had passed away a long time ago, and it was Uncle Wang who raised her little by little, so Murong Xue could only show a rare smile to Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang looked at Murong Xue, who had a cold temperament, and shook his head helplessly. His eldest daughter was good in every way except that her way of speaking was really unpleasant. It was fine at home, but she would easily offend people when she went out.

"Uncle Wang, you and I both know what the court is like nowadays. I really don't want to re-enter the officialdom and be caught up in their intrigues!"

"And..." Murong Xue pondered for a moment, then continued, "The current emperor is moody. Although he is willing to rectify the Wu Dynasty, he lacks an iron fist, which has led to the corruption of military discipline..."

"General, stop talking!" Uncle Wang gritted his teeth and interrupted Murong Xue: "I think it's best for you to serve under His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, rather than continue to linger in this small gunpowder factory and waste the rest of your life!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue's eyes gradually calmed down and looked into the distance.

At noon, Murong Xue, dressed in military uniform with a sword slung around her waist and a spear in her hand, stood in front of the gate of the East Palace, staring inside. No matter how the guards asked questions, she did not answer.

"Tsk tsk tsk! General Murong is really a cold-faced iceberg. How are you going to get along with my personal soldiers in the future?" Zhou Chuxuan walked out of the East Palace slowly, holding a monocular telescope in his hand, which he made in his spare time.

Upon seeing Zhou Chuxuan, Murong Xue knelt on one knee: "General Murong Xue, I have been ordered to come to the East Palace! I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Good, very good! Having General Murong serving under my command will surely make things much easier for me in the future!" Zhou Chuxuan smiled and stepped forward to help Murong Xue up. "That side hall is quite suitable for you. You can live there from now on!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

Murong Xue nodded slightly, then looked at Zhou Chuxuan: "Your Highness, I was stationed at the gunpowder factory before, and now I am under your command. I wonder if the gunpowder factory..."

"Don't worry, I've already consulted my father!" Zhou Chuxuan led Murong Xue into the East Palace and pointed to the one hundred personal soldiers in the backyard. "Although they may look old, they are all veterans who have fought on many battlefields. I need you to train them uniformly!"

"It's not just battlefield skills, but also some special methods! You know!" Zhou Chuxuan placed two fingers on Murong Xue's wrist and took them away before she could react: "Don't be secretive! General Murong, you will follow me to Liang Kingdom in the future!"

Watching Zhou Chuxuan's receding figure, Murong Xue's brows flickered with resentment. This fellow, as the crown prince, had no sense of etiquette and repeatedly took advantage of him!

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhou Chuxuan, who was taking a nap, was awakened by a violent knock on the door. He immediately sat up from the bed with the corners of his mouth twitching wildly.

Mudd!

Not letting people sleep well?

Upon opening the door, Zhou Chuxuan's anger erupted: "Who is it? You're not sleeping in the middle of the day? If you wake me up like this again, I'll have my personal guards outside the door next time!"

"Also, let me tell you something. I love killing people in my dreams!"

After being scolded by Zhou Chuxuan, Wulumu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Highness, I'm ready to return to the Western Regions at any time, but are you sure you want me to do this?"

Zhou Chuxuan glanced at Wulumu, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course! As long as that old guy is alive, I will always be the crown prince! Don't worry, when the situation in the Wu Dynasty stabilizes, I will help you!"

"In that case, thank you very much, Your Highness the Crown Prince!" A hint of cunning flashed in the depths of Urumu's eyes.

"Let's go!" Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand: "Old Sheep knows what to do!"

"it is good!"

After bidding farewell to Zhou Chuxuan, Wulumu left the Eastern Palace with murderous intent in his eyes. He sneered and muttered to himself, "Haha, the Crown Prince of the Wu Dynasty? Nothing more! Do you think I'll really believe what you said about the narrow pass? I have to tell my father that if we attack from a key border town, even if you call it a key town, there won't be many soldiers left, right?"

"..."

Xu Hanyan sat on the bed, quietly watching Zhou Chuxuan return: "My father said that he has officially formed an alliance with Yang Li and is discussing the next plan to deal with you! My father asked if he should tell you!"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head: "No need! There is no impenetrable wall in this world. Once he has the intention of being a double agent, he will reveal his flaws in his relationship with Yang Li!"

"Are you so afraid of Yang Li?" Xu Hanyan whispered, "Even with His Majesty's support, he has no foundation in the Wu Dynasty and no strength to fight against us!"

"I'm not afraid of him!" Zhou Chuxuan shook his head, a solemn look in his eyes. "I just think this guy is a little weird! He's so well-informed, so well-informed, I can't believe it!"

"Furthermore, this person's purpose is completely inconsistent with his style! He gives me the impression of being arrogant and ostentatious, but every step he takes is steady and purposeful!"

Xu Hanyan frowned slightly, as if she had heard something different between Zhou Chuxuan's words. "What exactly do you mean? I'm a little confused!"

Zhou Chuxuan was silent for a while, then he walked to the table and sat down, sighing slowly: "I hope I'm wrong! This Yang Li doesn't seem like a human at all!"

"He seems like a puppet being controlled by someone!"

"what?"

Hearing Zhou Chuxuan's words, Xu Hanyan was horrified: "Being controlled? By whom?"
