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

Chapter 165 Falling out

Zhou Wanjiang frowned as he looked at Yang Li who had barged in. "I didn't ask you to enter the palace, so why are you here?"

Yang Li bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am honored to meet you. I have come here specifically to quell the rebellion in the Wu Dynasty! Moreover, I have a huge secret to tell you!"

"What secret?"

With a look from Zhou Wanjiang, Canglang killed the young eunuch who had just come to report the news on the spot, and then closed the door. Only the three of them were left in the room.

"Zhou Chuxuan is not dead!"

When Yang Li said this, Zhou Wanjiang froze in place. He looked at Yang Li with a frown, then glanced at Canglang: "No, that's impossible! This mission was carried out by Canglang himself, there is no way he could have made a mistake!"

Yang Li snorted coldly and looked at Canglang beside him: "Why, Lord Canglang, at this time, you still have the guts to stay here instead of returning to your master?"

Canglang bowed and said, "Your Highness, I don't know what you are talking about! I am utterly loyal to Your Majesty and would never make a mistake. That night, I personally killed Zhou Chuxuan!"

Zhou Wanjiang's gaze kept moving between the two men, and a dagger appeared in his sleeve.

Being extremely suspicious, he had no way of judging who was telling the truth and who was lying, and could only watch the two continue to confront each other.

"You killed Zhou Chuxuan? But now Zhou Chuxuan is on the street outside, leading his troops to attack the Heavenly Prison. How do you explain it?" Yang Li said coldly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Wanjiang suddenly became nervous, his whole body tensed up, and the hand holding the dagger was trembling slightly.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Canglang's eyes. He knew that he had to stabilize Zhou Wanjiang at this time. Once Zhou Wanjiang knew that Zhou Chuxuan was really not dead, he would immediately escape through the secret passage.

There were many black-armored guards lying in ambush in the secret passage. With their protection, Canglang could not kill Zhou Wanjiang directly.

Once Zhou Wanjiang goes into the dark and escapes their sight, with his strength, he will come back for revenge sooner or later. This is an extremely unstable factor.

Canglang calmed himself down and knew that he must not over-explain now, otherwise, given Zhou Wanjiang's personality, he would definitely doubt him.

Then, Canglang knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Canglang is loyal to you with all my heart and soul. If Your Majesty doesn't trust Canglang, just kill him with a single blow!"

Zhou Wanjiang was silent for a while, and finally waved his hand: "Canglang, you get up first!"

After all, Yang Li is a foreigner, and the authenticity of what he said needs to be verified. Canglang has been a member of the Black Armor Guard since he was a child. He has followed him and carried out countless missions without any mistakes. Therefore, Zhou Wanjiang still trusts Canglang more.

Seeing this, Yang Li sneered, "No wonder the Wu Dynasty is declining. With a tyrant like you around, things won't be much better!"

"What did you say?" Zhou Wanjiang looked at Yang Li in disbelief. This prince consort who usually obeyed him and even flattered him to the extreme actually dared to speak to him like this.

"I say, you are a complete tyrant, not worthy of being an emperor at all. The Wu Dynasty will perish sooner or later in your hands!"

Yang Li repeated word by word, he was ready to show his hand now, the insiders in various parts of Wu Dynasty had been activated, and they would definitely turn the Wu Dynasty into a mess.

When the time comes, I will leave the capital and join forces with the army from the Western Regions to defeat the Wu Dynasty.

As for the 600,000-strong army in the Western Regions, Yang Li had already inquired about it and could enter through a narrow pass and bypass the garrison of the 600,000-strong army.

As long as the Wu Dynasty is in chaos, even a million-strong army will be of no avail.

Little did he know that Yang Li's actions had convinced Zhou Wanjiang of his inner thoughts, and he believed Canglang without a doubt: "You are so good, Yang Li, you bastard from the Western Regions. You really are harboring evil intentions. I was so disappointed that I wanted to entrust you with an important task before, and this is how you repay me?"

"Haha, stop flattering yourself!" Yang Li sneered disdainfully. "You entrusted me with such an important task? You just wanted to use me to balance the power in the court. You wanted to use me to balance the power of Zhou Chuxuan, who was at the peak of his power at the time!"

"And you, you don't even have the idea of ​​a martial dynasty in your heart. You only pursue a vague legend! Do you really believe that there is something in this world that can prolong human life? Idiot!"

"How could a fool like you become emperor? That's really a misfortune for your Wu Dynasty!"

"presumptuous!"

Canglang immediately stood in front of Zhou Wanjiang, looking at Yang Li with stern eyes: "Who gave you the courage to speak to His Majesty like that?"

"Haha, you really are a vicious dog!" Yang Li sighed. "Zhou Wanjiang, I have a piece of advice for you. Stay away from this loyal wolf beside you. Otherwise, you never know when he might bite you!"

After saying that, Yang Li rushed out directly.

"Canglang, catch him!"

Zhou Wanjiang gave the order, but Canglang shook his head: "Your Majesty, this person is not from our Wu Dynasty. He actually dared to confront you in the palace this time. He must have made preparations."

Zhou Wanjiang pondered for a long moment, then said in a deep voice, "Well, let's let him go for now! He's just a clown from a small country in the Western Regions. When I have time, I'll deal with them one by one!"

At the same time, the Fuling Army had already broken into the Tianlao and killed all the Liao spies.

It was not until he saw Zhou Heng that Zhou Chuxuan took off his bamboo hat and said with a smile, "Fifth brother, we meet again!"

Zhou Heng gritted his teeth and looked at Zhou Chuxuan: "You are not dead... You really are not dead!"

"Okay, so this is all your plan, right? Just to wipe us out in one fell swoop?"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "You Liao Kingdom spies are really hiding quite deep. It is really not easy to find you."

Zhou Heng sneered, "Zhou Chuxuan, do you think you've got a sure win? I'm telling you, it's impossible! The Liao Dynasty's inner circle has penetrated every pore, riddling the Wu Dynasty with holes. Just relying on these people you've captured, you think you can shake the Liao Dynasty's centuries-long strategy against the Wu Dynasty?"

Zhou Chuxuan shook his head helplessly: "Fifth brother, you are also a Wu Dynasty person, blood is thicker than water, how can you bear to help the enemy country to harm the people of Wu Dynasty?"

Zhou Heng laughed disdainfully and said, "Zhou Chuxuan, you think you can influence me with so-called family affection? Don't be delusional. My mother was killed by Zhou Wanjiang. I have hated him my whole life. If I can kill him and overthrow his Wu Dynasty, my life will not be lived in vain!"

"Did the person behind you tell you?"

"Hmph, so what if there is one? You will never be able to eradicate the Liao's spies, and you can only watch the Wu Dynasty fall!"

Zhou Chuxuan raised his eyebrows: "That's not necessarily true!"
