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

Chapter 205 Divination

Half a day later, Zhou Chuxuan arrived at the foot of Lotus Mountain and looked at Zhou Wuhen who was sleeping soundly. He couldn't help but look surprised. Was he really here to leave a way out for himself, or was there some conspiracy?

Nangong Yanling shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. "He has been sleeping since he came here and has done nothing. I sent out countless scouts in all directions, but there was nothing unusual. The mountain remained calm."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuxuan looked around, then walked over to the sleeping Zhou Wuhen and gently pushed him: "Even the dignified Thousand Faces Young Master would take the initiative to leave a way out for himself?"

Zhou Wuhen muttered twice, as if he had just been woken from a dream. He rubbed his eyes, opened them reluctantly, and looked at Zhou Chuxuan: "Your Highness, even if we are enemies now, it is really not a good thing to disturb others' sleep!"

Zhou Chuxuan sat on a chair not far away, his mouth twitching slightly: "So you were really sleeping just now?"

"Yeah, what else am I doing?"

Zhou Wuhen yawned, then sat up and looked at Zhou Chuxuan with a smile: "Your Highness, I believe you have heard about the Prince of Jin in the capital, right?"

When King Jin was mentioned, Zhou Chuxuan nodded, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes: "He is a very rude guy. He dared to threaten me with just one of his men."

"Hahahaha!"

Zhou Wuhen seemed to have anticipated this: "I think that subordinate has died at your hands?"

"Of course, do I really want to keep him for the New Year?"

"Threatening you is definitely not a good choice!"

Zhou Wuhen stood up from the bed, slowly walked to the teapot, and poured himself a pot of tea: "Actually, I don't have much intention of becoming your enemy!"

"You know, I'm known as the Thousand Faces Young Master, and I have no interest in the throne, let alone the fight between you two. If he wasn't my brother, I wouldn't even get involved in this mess!"

Zhou Chuxuan and Nangong Yanling exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their eyes. "I do believe this! But, I want to know more about your purpose in coming here. You're all alone, without even a single guard. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to return?"

This guy is really brave, but it also makes Zhou Chuxuan feel extremely wary. Such an opponent is the most terrifying!

If the other party just hides in the dark and launches sneak attacks from time to time, then he will still be on guard, at least he knows that this is his enemy.

But Zhou Wuhen's performance today completely broke Zhou Chuxuan's previous perception of him. This is a guy who doesn't follow the rules of the game at all. You can never guess what he is thinking.

Although he is Zhou Wanjiang's biological brother, he is not interested in the throne and wanders around the world. Now, when they are on the verge of a war, he runs into the enemy camp to leave a way out for himself.

Zhou Chuxuan observed Zhou Wuhen, but could not detect any murderous intent in his eyes.

Such people are either truly selfless and have no interest in fighting or they are truly perfect and hide their inner selves.

If it's the latter, that's simply terrible.

Zhou Chuxuan thought he couldn't do it.

Zhou Wuhen lazily blew on the hot tea and drank it slowly. "If His Royal Highness really wants to take action, then I can't do anything about it. Of course, the premise is that the Wu Dynasty controlled by His Royal Highness will be able to deal with the harassment from all forces!"

Zhou Chuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Another threat?"

"Threat? No no no!"

Zhou Wuhen waved his hands repeatedly: "This is not a threat!"

As he spoke, Zhou Wuhen looked at Nangong Yanling with a smile: "Your Highness, I have already given you half of Zhang Baitian's military tokens in the Western Regions. You can contact him at any time. Isn't this enough?"

Nangong Yanling took out the military token from his bosom and handed it to Zhou Chuxuan. Zhou Chuxuan took it in his hand and rubbed it gently: "But how do I know it's not fake?"

Zhou Wuhen said without hesitation: "With my status and reputation, would I give you a fake one? I guarantee it with my character!"

"Haha, it seems that your personality is not worth much!" Zhou Chuxuan stroked the military token, still not completely believing him in his heart.

People who can stand in a high position will not care about these little tricks. As long as they can succeed in the end, they will use any means necessary. Even if the means are not very glorious, they will use them without hesitation.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is truly eloquent. I admire you so much!"

Zhou Wuhen clasped his fists lightly and stood up: "Alright, Your Highness, I'm leaving now. By the way, I didn't touch Miss Xueyao from Xueyue Tower."

Before Zhou Chuxuan could catch his breath, he heard Zhou Wuhen say, "But I don't know whether Prince Jin has touched her. After all, he's a guy who never plays by the rules!"

Zhou Chuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly. This King of Jin who suddenly appeared might not have a powerful army, but his pervasive infiltration ability was undoubtedly even more terrifying.

"Can you tell me more about King Jin?"

Zhou Wuhen sighed softly: "Your Highness, that's my friend. In other words, it's not an exaggeration to say that he's a friend who has been through thick and thin with me! How could you let me..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Chuxuan took off a jade ring from his hand and handed it to Zhou Wuhen.

"Ahem, that's all fleeting, just listen to me!"

The smile on Zhou Wuhen's face suddenly changed 180 degrees. He quickly took the jade ring from Zhou Chuxuan's hand and put it in his arms with a smile: "This King Jin, there's nothing special about him. Those scouts and spies under him, in fact, you can do the same with just a little training!"

"This isn't the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that Prince Jin's family possesses the art of divination."

"Divination?"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Nangong Yanling in surprise. He knew this technique in his previous life, but most of the people who knew it were street scammers, and there were very few people who really understood it.

"Correct!"

Zhou Wuhen's eyes flashed with deep fear when he mentioned this: "I didn't believe it at first, but they can actually predict good or bad luck, the direction of an event, whether it will succeed, and even the approximate location of a person!"

"It is said that miscalculations are rare!"

"This is why, even though the King of Jin was on an isolated island very close to the Kingdom of Liang, he had never been discovered."

Zhou Wuhen took a deep breath, then slowly walked from the door to the teapot and poured himself a pot of tea: "It's terrible!"
