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

Chapter 152 Secret Transaction

"What are you going to do?"

General Liao, the general guarding the gunpowder factory, was sleeping at night when a group of men in black broke into the factory, covered his mouth, and put a sharp knife to his neck.

Mr. Liao was originally a good-for-nothing. He paid for his position at the gunpowder factory. His martial arts skills were mediocre. How could he be a match for Han Bin and others?

He immediately handed over the gunpowder smelting tools and a large amount of raw materials, and watched the group of men in black disappear into the darkness. He could only run outside the palace immediately to report the matter.

After being reported through layers of authorities and spending countless amounts of money, the news finally reached the ears of Emperor Wu Zhou Wanjiang near dawn. Zhou Wanjiang sat up from the bed with a frown on his face.

Looking at the trembling eunuch below, Zhou Wanjiang's brows flashed with anger: "Go, dismiss the general guarding the gunpowder factory and investigate! Otherwise, behead him in public!"

"As a guard at a gunpowder factory with hundreds of men under him, how could someone just steal the raw materials?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the room quieted down again, Emperor Wu Zhou Wanjiang calmed down, slowly exhaled a breath of foul air from his mouth, his eyes gleaming with brilliance: "This is getting more and more interesting, Sixth Brother, I really don't know what your plan is!"

In fact, he couldn't be completely sure whether Zhou Chuxuan was dead or alive. The scouts he sent out reported that Zhou Chuxuan was indeed dead, but he definitely didn't see Zhou Chuxuan's body enter the museum with his own eyes!

"But fortunately, this doesn't matter! As long as you don't delay my pursuit of immortality, even if you come back from the dead, you will still be my good son, hehe!"

A slightly ferocious smile appeared at the corner of Zhou Wanjiang's mouth. At this time, Zhou Wanjiang was no longer sleepy. He slowly walked to the chair in the middle of the room, sat down, and gently knocked on the table.

A figure suddenly appeared outside the door: "Your Majesty, Canglang awaits your instructions!"

Canglang is the commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Guards and takes orders directly from Zhou Wanjiang. He has not been on any mission for many years and is only responsible for guarding Zhou Wanjiang and protecting his safety.

The commander-in-chief of the Black Armor Guards is hereditary and has been Emperor Wu's loyal warriors for generations. They have been instilled with the idea of ​​loyalty to Emperor Wu since they were in their cradles, so they will never betray him.

"Canglang, from now on, you will immediately mobilize two thousand Black Armored Guards and secretly head to Qingzhou to seal off Lotus Mountain. No living creatures will be allowed within a ten-mile radius!"

Canglang obeyed the order. This was not the first time that Zhou Wanjiang issued such an order. The meaning of this order was that all living people within a ten-mile radius around Lotus Mountain must be slaughtered, and even animals must not exist.

"What? This!"

Inside the palace, Zhou Chuxuan stood up in shock. Standing before him was the headmaster of the Tongfu Inn: "Within a ten-mile radius, not a single person was left alive?"

"No, to be more precise, not a single living thing was left alive!" The chief leader shook his head, his eyes full of calmness: "You still don't understand Zhou Wanjiang's ruthlessness!"

"As an emperor, you are naturally much more ruthless than an ordinary person. To achieve your goals, you can use any means necessary! The premise is, don't let others know!"

Zhou Chuxuan took a deep breath. No matter what, there were countless people living around him, and he must not let them get hurt. Although he was not a compassionate saint, he could not bear to see innocent people being implicated!

In particular, the villages and towns around Lotus Mountain are closely related to Su Hongye. If she knew that all this would implicate the people there, her hatred towards the court would probably deepen!

"Thank you, Chief, for telling me this secret!"

"Your Highness, we at Tongfu Inn are a place for business, as you know! A simple thank you cannot buy such news! You should know that I lost a top scout to get this information!"

The chief leader had a big smile on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was waiting for Zhou Chuxuan's conditions.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly. He had expected that this guy who would not do anything without profit would not rush to send him information. He must have taken a fancy to something of his.

"Master, just ask for what I have!"

"I want equality for all beings, Your Highness!"

The chief leader did not waste any time and spoke immediately. Since he learned about the power of equality of all beings, he was greatly shocked. For a moment, he could not believe that such a magical weapon actually came from Zhou Chuxuan's hands.

His martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, and his research on various weapons is beyond countless people. If the previous muskets and crossbows were still within the acceptable range, then the equality of all beings is simply subverting his cognition!

immortal!

No one except gods can do this!

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled: "Chief, wait a moment!"

As he spoke, Zhou Chuxuan walked to the side, took out the blueprint, and began to write and draw on it. In less than half an hour, Zhou Chuxuan handed the blueprint to the chief leader.

However, the AK above can only fire single shots and not continuous shots, and the number of bullets that can be loaded at one time is also limited.

Even if the leader finds out in the future, he can't say anything. After all, the value of such an AK is inestimable!

"Master, I have warned you not to use this weapon against unarmed civilians! After all, the Equality of All Living Things is extremely lethal. If it were to become widespread among the people, it would likely cause unrest and riots throughout the Wu Dynasty, making it difficult to control!"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at the chief with a serious face: "If the chief goes back on his word, even if it means both of us will suffer losses, I will ask for an explanation from the chief!"

The chief leader smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I've made a note of it!"

After the chief leader left, Zhou Chuxuan sat in a chair and began to ponder. If Zhou Wanjiang was so anxious to go to Lotus Mountain, he probably wouldn't have time to prepare too many things!

Zhou Chuxuan had no idea what was inside the Lotus Mountain, and he wasn't sure, but the only thing he was sure of was that it must be a conspiracy of the Liao Kingdom!

Otherwise, if the Liao Kingdom had first discovered such a shocking secret, how could they have allowed it to remain in the territory of the Wu Dynasty?

Since they were able to quietly infiltrate countless people into the Wu Dynasty court, they were fully capable of stealing the secrets on Lotus Mountain. How could they leave them for Zhou Wanjiang to explore?

"Your Highness, you got up quite early today?"

Nangong Yanling opened the tunnel entrance and looked at Zhou Chuxuan with resentment. Although her face was ruined and she didn't need to pay attention to facial skin care, she felt suffocated sleeping in this dark underground every day.

Zhou Chuxuan smiled slightly: "I forgot, Miss Nangong, I said I would treat some of the injuries on your face!"

"Really?"
