I transmigrated to ancient times and became a king with a title equal to mine.

The Emperor on the dragon throne smiled gently: "My beloved ministers, I have been in seclusion for two years to cultivate myself. I have made you all work hard for two years."

Long Yingkun, who was seated to the side, smiled and said, "Father has something to say. My dear ministers, please take your seats."

The king, who had not appeared in public for two years, suddenly summoned some of his ministers.

When the court officials were in a state of great excitement, Right Chancellor Wei Zhong suddenly realized something was amiss. He involuntarily looked at the eldest prince, Long Yingshen, who remained silent.

At this moment, Lung Ying-shen frowned deeply and made no comment.

The second prince, Long Yingkun, asked with concern, "Brother, are you feeling unwell?"

Lung Ying-shen then added, "I've had a stomachache for three days now."

"Father, my eldest brother has a stomachache, what should I do?"

Long Yunfu looked at his eldest son with concern and said with great kindness, "You're not feeling well, have someone ask for sick leave. Go back quickly, and I'll have the imperial physician treat you."

Long Yingshen's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

After the ceremony, he left the Imperial Study with the help of the chief eunuch, Su'er'er.

After the two left the palace, Long Yingshen asked in a deep voice, "Did you notice anything amiss?"

Suer whispered in his ear, "I've noticed that the king seems to have changed."

Lung Ying-shen walked to his sedan chair and whispered, "Don't talk too much, just go with the flow."

Inside the royal study, the king and his ministers discussed their experiences of two years of seclusion and self-cultivation, becoming increasingly excited as they spoke.

The more excited the king became, the more Wei Zhong's heart pounded.

As time went on, nearly half of the twenty-odd ministers who had been summoned discovered that the king's seclusion had changed his personality and habits.

Just then, Guo Huai-ren, the prefect of Kyoto, rushed in from outside and said in a panic, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Regent, a group of people has come to the city gate. They claim that His Majesty the King has returned to the capital."

"Ah...?" Wei Zhong and Left Chancellor Wang Zongbao exchanged a glance, their faces both ashen. The hearts of these two veterans of three dynasties sank.

Upon hearing the report, the king, who was chatting and laughing on his throne, immediately asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

Guo Huai-ren had no choice but to repeat the report again.

"What nonsense! Aren't I right here? How come I'm standing outside the city gate? Do I have some kind of clone technique?"

Long Yingkun coughed a few times and asked, "General Guo, how could such a thing happen? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Your Majesty, even if I had a thousand lives, I wouldn't dare to make a mistake in this matter." Guo Huai-ren shook his head and said, "The king outside the city gate was sitting on his horse and personally told me, 'Send the second prince, the regent, to come and greet me.'"

"this?"

"..."

The civil and military officials were all stunned. How could there suddenly be two kings?

At this moment, the Eighth Prince Long Yinghong spoke up: "Father, this matter is of utmost importance. You should go to the city wall yourself to find out what is going on."

“Hong’er is right, I’ll go.” Long Yunfu got up and walked down the steps with a cheerful air.

The ministers hurriedly reminded the king not to get involved.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Long Yunfu said firmly, "The people outside are definitely taking advantage of my seclusion to impersonate me and try to fish in troubled waters for something. I must expose their tricks on the spot!"

Minister of Personnel Fang Donglin knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to rush. Let us inspect the site first before making any decisions."

The king glared at him and said, "I've been openly impersonated, and you expect me not to be worried?"

Long Yinghong sighed, "Lord Fang, the truth cannot be hidden, and falsehood cannot be made true. Let Father King personally come to the city gate!" Long Yunfu waved his hand and strode towards the palace gate, his imposing manner seemingly capable of crushing all obstacles. The officials hurriedly followed, their hearts pounding with anxiety, as if they were on a rollercoaster.

On the city wall, the wind howled, making everyone tremble with fear. Long Yunfu looked down and saw another "self" sitting on a tall horse outside the city gate, wearing golden armor and a crown, looking majestic and awe-inspiring, as if a true dragon emperor had descended to earth.

"This...how is this possible?" Long Yunfu's eyes widened, he could hardly believe what he was seeing.

When the king outside the city gate saw Long Yunfu appear, he trembled and said, "So Long Yingkun's conspiracy was to use you to impersonate me?"

Upon hearing this, Long Yunfu's expression tightened, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips. He shouted loudly, "You dare impersonate me? Come down here and face your death!"

The king outside the city said coldly, "You are truly shameless. If I had known you were like this, thirty years ago, I..."

Long Yunfu wouldn't let him continue, roaring, "You audacious madman, how dare you come to the capital and impersonate me! I'll chop you into mincemeat!"

He was about to rush down when he was stopped by his ministers.

"Your Majesty, do not act rashly! What if this is an enemy's trick?" Minister of Personnel Guo Huai-ren shouted anxiously.

Long Yunfu roared, "What trickery? I am who I am! How dare anyone impersonate me? Get out of my way!"

The ministers had no choice but to make way for him.

Long Yunfu strode down the city wall and headed straight for the king.

Upon seeing this, the king outside the door burst into laughter and said, "Perfect timing! Take this!"

As he spoke, he leaped from his horse, his broadsword gleaming coldly, and slashed straight at Long Yunfu.

Long Yunfu was not to be outdone and drew his sword to meet the attack.

"Clang!" The two swords clashed, sparks flying.

Long Yunfu felt a tremendous force surge through him, and his arm went numb and sore. He was secretly shocked; this guy's martial arts skills were incredibly high!

The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was hard to resolve.

The two looked exactly alike, even their voices were the same, and their martial arts styles were also exactly the same. The officials on the city wall were dumbfounded. It was simply a battle of gods!

Just then, Long Yingkun suddenly shouted, "Father, be careful!"

The man accused of being a fake king feinted with his sword, then retreated rapidly, a hidden weapon appearing in his hand, which he aimed directly at Long Yunfu's vitals.

Long Yunfu was unable to dodge in time and was struck in the shoulder by a hidden weapon, causing blood to gush out immediately.

"Ah!" Long Yunfu screamed and staggered.

The officials were greatly alarmed and cried out, "Your Majesty!"

Upon seeing this, the fake king burst into laughter and said, "You are doomed to die today!"

As he spoke, the fake king was about to swing his sword again.

Just then, a figure flashed by and blocked the fake king's path.

Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that it was the Eighth Prince, Long Yinghong, who was holding a long sword and had piercing eyes, as if he could see right through the fake king.

"You audacious madman, how dare you harm my father! Take this!" Long Yinghong shouted, swinging his sword to stab at the fake king.

The fake king snorted coldly and drew his sword to meet the attack. The two immediately clashed. Although young, Lung Ying-hung was highly skilled in martial arts and fought the fake king to a standstill.

Seeing his son take action, Long Yunfu felt somewhat relieved. He suppressed his pain and called out, "Hong'er, be careful!"

Lung Ying-hung responded and intensified his attacks. The fake king was gradually losing ground, and in a moment of panic, he shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!"
