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

Chapter 162 Help

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Nangong Yanling: "Miss Nangong, you should explain it to me!"

As he spoke, Zhou Chuxuan dipped his finger into the medicinal soup and carefully smeared it on Nangong Yanling's face. His fingers ran across the burned face, leaving uneven marks.

Nangong Yanling nodded slightly and said softly, "In fact, Your Highness also wants to protect Su Hongye and the people of Lianhua Mountain!"

"what?"

Murong Xue blinked her beautiful eyes, completely not understanding what was going on.

"If Su Hongye and her men were to side with Your Highness now, and there were secrets on Lotus Mountain that Zhou Wanjiang wanted, once exposed, it would be like putting Su Hongye on the line. In that case, Your Highness would have no time to split himself to protect them."

"Only when Your Highness completely eliminates the Liao Kingdom's spies can the people of Lotus Mountain be cleared of all charges. Your Highness's reputation will also rise significantly. Most civil and military officials will support Your Highness, and Your Highness will be fully empowered. Only then will Zhou Wanjiang be hesitant to act against Su Hongye!"

Nangong Yanling was meticulous and quickly guessed Zhou Chuxuan's thoughts.

Murong Xue finally nodded, understanding: "Your Highness, are you planning to come out soon and catch all the Liao spies in one fell swoop?"

Zhou Chuxuan carefully applied the medicine to Nangong Yanling: "Well, within seven days, all these Liao spies must be killed, and the person behind Zhou Heng must be found out."

"Come to think of it, the man behind Zhou Heng can actually sit still. Zhou Heng has been locked up in jail, and there's not even a whiff of movement!" Nangong Yanling felt a cool sensation on his cheeks.

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled: "That's the real person behind the scenes. I guess Zhou Heng has become a dispensable pawn. Another possibility is that he is not in a hurry."

"Moreover, I can sense that the people behind Zhou Heng and Yang Li don't seem to belong to the same faction. They are not all from Liao!"

"What? Doesn't this mean that there is a third hidden force in the court of the Wu Dynasty?" Murong Xue scratched her hair in pain. She was a military general, and asking her to think about such things was more painful than killing her.

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "It's like this, don't look for General Murong, as the water in Wu Dynasty becomes turbid, the fish below will naturally float to the surface."

"None of those people can escape!"

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, there was another knock on the door. Through the shadows, Zhou Chuxuan could see that it was a thin man: "Who is it?"

"Your Highness, I am the chief's man!"

"Tongfu Inn?"

Zhou Chuxuan hesitated for a moment, but still let the man in.

"Why did your chief leader send you here?"

"Your Highness, our chief leader has sent me to bring you a piece of news. The people behind Yang Li are from the Western Regions, while the people behind Zhou Heng are from the Liao Kingdom. It seems that the two sides should reach a cooperation."

"At present, they are mobilizing troops and generals within the Wu Dynasty, and mobilizing all insiders to make moves. It seems that they are going to launch a major operation against the Wu Dynasty, and the area around the capital is the most obvious."

Zhou Chuxuan's face darkened. The people from the Western Regions and the Liao people were cooperating with each other, and now they had actually started to take action and were about to attack the Wu Dynasty.

"Around the capital?"

Zhou Chuxuan pinched his chin and pondered secretly. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Lotus Mountain! They must have known that Zhou Wanjiang was going to Lotus Mountain, so they wanted to attack him!"

Murong Xue was shocked: "Your Highness, are you saying that they are going to kill Zhou Wanjiang?"

"That should be the case! Otherwise, they wouldn't have mobilized all their insiders to take action. The cooperation between the two sides can only be for this purpose!"

Zhou Chuxuan said in a deep voice, "The Black Armor Guards around Zhou Wanjiang are no pushovers. They will definitely be mobilized to protect us when we go to Lotus Mountain this time. Even if the other two sides join forces, it will take a huge price to kill Zhou Wanjiang."

"Your Highness, should we take action?"

Murong Xue looked at Zhou Chuxuan with burning eyes.

Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand gently: "Let's wait a while before talking!"

"I won't let Zhou Wanjiang go to Lotus Mountain so easily!" Zhou Chuxuan's eyes flashed with solemnity: "General Murong, you go to the military camp and make preparations with General Han and the others."

"it is good!"

Soon, Zhou Chuxuan had finished applying the medicine to Nangong Yanling.

Nangong Yanling felt a cool sensation on her face, which was very comfortable. "Your Highness, this...how long will this last?"

"It should be much better by the next day. Clean it once tomorrow morning, and I'll do it again tomorrow night. It should be almost healed in about seven days."

Nangong Yanling pursed her lips slightly, wanting to say something but didn't say it.

After Nangong Yanling left, the person from Tongfu Inn still did not leave: "Your Highness, there is one more thing that the chief leader asked me to inform you of!"

"Say!"

Zhou Chuxuan frowned, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Xu Hanyan was captured by Yang Li and imprisoned in the lowest level of the Sky Prison, with a group of death row prisoners. It seems that her situation is not good!"

"what!"

Zhou Chuxuan stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Damn it Yang Li, you're courting death! I didn't want to attack you so soon, you forced me to do it!"

"Go back and tell your chief leader that I hope he can send someone to help me monitor the situation in the prison. Don't let Han Yan get hurt. Protect her if necessary!"

The man was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Your Highness, our Tongfu Inn is a place for business. This move is tantamount to provoking the royal family. Things like this in our inn have always been..."

"If you have any conditions, have your chief come to discuss them in person afterwards!" Zhou Chuxuan said coldly, "Don't mention any business places to me. If you can't do it, I will go to Xueyue Tower!"

"Your Highness, I will go back and report!"

The room fell silent. Zhou Chuxuan blew out the candle and lay alone on the bed, watching the moon gradually rise outside, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

At the beginning, he really had no feelings for Xu Hanyan, and the other party was just using him to achieve her own goals. The two sides were just in a relationship of mutual cooperation and mutual benefit.

But as time went by, Zhou Chuxuan had to admit the feelings in his heart.

"Han Yan, wait for me, I won't let anything happen to you!"

Zhou Chuxuan clenched his fists. He was sure that the chief of Tongfu Inn was a smart man. If he wanted to continue cooperating with him, he would definitely help this time.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a slight sound on the roof caught Zhou Chuxuan's attention.

somebody is coming!
