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

Chapter 179 Persuasion

"Your Highness, the Qingzhou Army's defense line is ahead. Where should we go around it?"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at the majestic Qingzhou Army camp in the distance with a telescope and chuckled: "I changed my mind. No need to go around!"

"I'm going to meet those Qingzhou soldiers!"

Murong Xue immediately stopped Zhou Chuxuan: "Your Highness, it's dangerous, you can't go!"

Nangong Yanling also frowned: "Your Highness, even though we have extraordinary martial arts skills and powerful weapons, there are still thousands of people there. If we rush over rashly, I'm afraid they..."

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled: "Don't worry, as long as the leader of the Qingzhou Army is not a fool, I can explain the pros and cons to him, and in the end we will be able to get out safely!"

"But what if he is a fool?"

Murong Xue murmured.

Zhou Chuxuan's mouth twitched, and he wanted to go up and give her a big fight. Are you a professional saboteurs?

"General Murong, what do you think is the probability that someone who can become a leader of the army is actually a fool?"

"Well, we can't completely rule out this possibility. After all..."

Zhou Chuxuan waved his hand and interrupted Murong Xue. "Miss Nangong and General Murong, follow me. General Han, you lead the army to camp here. If we don't come out within an hour, charge in!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

......

Qingzhou Army Camp.

The military commander Sun Xin was so frightened when he saw the Fuling Army in the distance that his legs felt weak when he came down from the high platform.

He only became the commander of the army because of his wealth. In fact, he had no real ability. The Qingzhou troops under his command were not even equipped with crossbows. How could they resist the Fuling army?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has really arrived! He's really arrived!"

Sun Xin sat down on the ground and looked towards the direction of Lianhua Mountain: "My Lord, you only left me 3,000 soldiers and horses. How can I resist the Fuling Army?"

Of the 7,000 troops in Qingzhou today, 4,000 have gone to Lotus Mountain, and 3,000 are setting up defense lines here. There are only a few yamen runners stationed in the city, and they have no combat effectiveness at all.

"Commander, Commander, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and two women are heading towards our camp!"

Sun Xin was stunned by the report from his soldiers: "What? He only brought two women? He didn't bring anything else?"

"Yes, not even wearing armor, not a single soldier!"

Sun Xin finally mustered up the courage to stand up from the ground, brushed off the dirt on his body, and looked towards the entrance of the military camp. He gathered his composure and said, "Invite them to the central military tent!"

"Also, deploy three hundred swordsmen and axemen. If they make any unusual movements, capture them immediately!"

A hint of joy flashed in Sun Xin's eyes. As long as he could hold the prince firmly in his hands, the Fuling army on the opposite side would never dare to move, and his life would be preserved.

Zhou Chuxuan and the two women slowly walked into the central military tent. Looking at Sun Xin sitting there, they couldn't help laughing.

As we all know, smiles are contagious. Zhou Chuxuan's smile immediately made the two women unable to hold back. The three of them didn't say anything and just laughed in the central military tent.

Everyone was stunned. Sun Xin, who was sitting at the top, felt extremely insulted. "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?"

Zhou Chuxuan waved his hands repeatedly: "It's nothing interesting, I just think your appearance is really funny."

"you!"

Zhou Chuxuan's words were shocking, and Sun Xin was so angry that he drew the sword from his waist and was about to order the swordsmen and axemen to take action.

But Zhou Chuxuan got there first, pulling out a gun and pointing it at Sun Xin: "Don't move! If you dare, I'll make sure you see your own brains within a breath!"

"What is this?"

Although Sun Xin had never seen it before, he inexplicably felt that this thing was full of danger, as if the black hole could take his life at any time.

"Oh!"

The next moment, Zhou Chuxuan pulled the trigger directly, and the bullet flew past Sun Xin's ear and directly pierced the oil lamp behind him.

Sun Xin turned around and looked at the oil lamp in shock. The surface of the oil lamp was made of wrought copper and was very strong. How could it be pierced by this thing?

"Is this a musket?"

"Haha, it's much more powerful than a firearm. If I had thought about it just now, it would have been your head that was split open!" Zhou Chuxuan sneered: "Now, I tell the swordsmen ambushing on both sides to get out of here, otherwise, I will take your life now!"

Sun Xin hesitated for a long time. He didn't expect that the swordsmen and axemen he had arranged in advance were useless at the critical moment and were subdued by Zhou Chuxuan in one move.

With a wave of his hand, the swordsmen on both sides withdrew from the central army tent. Sun Xin also put down his sword and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I am also an official appointed by the court. I just make a living under the prefect. You, you don't have to kill me all, right?"

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled and sat on a chair beside him. Nangong Yanling and Murong Xue sat on both sides of him, staring at Sun Xin with cold eyes.

"General Sun, you are the commander of the Qingzhou Army, and above you is the Qingzhou Governor. However, the Qingzhou Governor is now with Zhou Wanjiang. If things get bad, you can still run away, but you, now there is no way to retreat!"

"Believe it or not, with just one order from me, your three thousand men will be reduced to ashes in an instant, in less than a meal's time!"

"Believe it, believe it!"

At this point, Sun Xin no longer dared to talk back to Zhou Chuxuan. Whatever he said was right!

"General Sun, sit down and think carefully. What's the point of following the Qingzhou governor and obeying Zhou Wanjiang's orders? It won't take me long to capture Lianhua Mountain, and Zhou Wanjiang will be my prisoner by then!"

"As an emperor, he doesn't care about the people. The people of the world are being harmed by foreign races from all directions, and he only cares about pursuing his dream of immortality. Do you still want to blindly follow the orders of such a king?"

"By then, you will be the ones abandoned!"

Zhou Chuxuan's words enlightened Sun Xin. He was stunned on the spot, and finally said with a wry smile: "Your Highness, but if the king orders the minister to die, it would be disloyal for the minister to refuse to die!"

The long-standing social ethics and etiquette have been a great constraint on these people. Just like Murong Xue at the beginning, she also went through a long period of psychological struggle before finally deciding to follow Zhou Chuxuan.

Zhou Chuxuan chuckled. "General Sun, do you know what blind loyalty means? You are being blindly loyal right now! Following a licentious and ruthless king, being cursed by the world, you think you are loyal, but will your loyalty be recorded in history books?"

"No, the history books will only record that Zhou Wanjiang was a licentious and ruthless king, and you are just a group of guys buried by history. At most, it is recorded that there was a group of equally vicious soldiers helping that tyrant!"

"Your Highness, stop talking!"
