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

Chapter 244 Calling for Talents from All Over the World

Zhou Wuhen looked at Zhou Chuxuan deeply, his eyes flashing with a different look: "This is the problem. Zhou Shaxuan is not a direct descendant of King Jin's lineage. How can he have their map?"

"Furthermore, I've looked at the map, and it's almost identical to what I've experienced myself. Even the most confidential areas are correct. Later, I personally went to King Jin's island to verify the authenticity of the map!"

"So, the only explanation is that Zhou Shaxuan holds a direct descendant of the King of Jin in his hands!"

Zhou Chuxuan frowned as he looked at Zhou Wuhen, his knuckles tapping lightly on the table. He pondered for a long time before saying, "Are you saying that one of the direct descendants of the King of Jin was captured by Zhou Shaxuan, and then forced to confess all this?"

"At present, this is the most reasonable explanation!"

"How did you help him later?"

This is the question Zhou Chuxuan is more concerned about: "I want to know where he is now, and what has he been preparing for all these years?"

Zhou Wuhen smiled and said, "The throne! It's very simple, it's the throne of the Wu Dynasty! This person's mind is actually very simple, he just wants the real throne. The Zhou Shaxuan sent to the capital is a fake. You have already thought of this, so there is no need to verify anything with me!"

"His real body was observing all this from outside the capital. When he realized his substitute had failed, he left the capital and even left the Wu Dynasty!"

"Left the Wu Dynasty?"

Zhou Chuxuan looked at Zhou Wuhen in surprise: "Didn't he want the throne of the Wu Dynasty? Why did he leave like this?"

"It's true that he wants the throne! But, that requires him to survive first! He smelled a trace of terror from you. Perhaps, he felt that he was no match for you, so he chose to temporarily avoid the edge and leave the Wu Dynasty!"

"Before leaving Wu Dynasty, he contacted me again and said that he hoped I could lend him a helping hand when he returned!"

"You didn't agree?"

Zhou Chuxuan laughed and said, this guy is a guy who will not do anything without profit. If there are no sufficient conditions in exchange, it is basically a pipe dream to ask Zhou Wuhen to do something for you.

Zhou Wuhen nodded. "Your Highness has been getting to know me better and better! I didn't explicitly agree to his request, and at the time, he was just a young boy, not a threat to me! I even looked down on him a little, even though he had a direct descendant of the Prince of Jin and might have access to resources that others couldn't grasp!"

"But, one day later, I really changed my perception of him! He is terrifying!"

Zhou Chuxuan's mind trembled slightly, and he looked at Nangong Yanling and Murong Xue unconsciously. Anyone who was described as very scary by Zhou Wuhen meant that they really needed to be wary of.

"Your Highness, I'm a little thirsty. You three can't let me not drink a single sip of wine, right? Come, Miss Nangong, help me move that wine jar over here!"

However, at the most critical moment, Zhou Wuhen lost the desire to continue speaking. He pointed to the wine jar behind him and smiled.

Zhou Chuxuan took out a wine gourd from his waist and placed it on the table: "Drink this!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Good wine!"

Zhou Wuhen unscrewed the lid, his eyes suddenly brightening as he gulped down two large gulps, "How delicious! Your Highness, I've never seen this kind of wine in all my years of wandering the world. Where did you get it from?"

"Make your own wine!"

Zhou Chuxuan smiled and said, "Now, can we continue talking?"

"That's it!"

Zhou Wuhen nodded, then narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Later, I discovered that no matter where I was, Zhou Shaxuan could easily find me! If it happened once or twice, it was just a coincidence because I didn't hide carefully enough, but when it happened so many times, it was hard not to wonder what extraordinary methods this kid had."

"To verify my suspicions, I used all my skills to hide in a cave in the Western Regions. However, when I emerged, I found his letter at the entrance. I was horrified!"

Zhou Wuhen's expression became extremely solemn, as if this was the most terrifying thing he had ever experienced in his life.

"I simply couldn't imagine how he tracked me! It wasn't until later, when someone from Prince Jin's lineage demonstrated the same method to me, that I finally believed how terrifying their divination techniques were!"

"You mean, Zhou Shaxuan not only captured the direct descendants of King Jin, but also learned divination techniques from him?"

Zhou Chuxuan hesitated and said, "If that's really the case, then Zhou Shaxuan is no less threatening than the lineage of King Jin!"

"That's right!"

Zhou Wuhen nodded, then gave a wry smile and stood up: "Alright, Your Highness, I've said enough today! The rest, you need to explore it yourself!"

"As for the manufacturing technology that ensures equality for all beings, I believe that His Highness is a man who keeps his promises! He will definitely not let me return empty-handed!"

After saying that, Zhou Wuhen climbed up the ladder.

The light in the cellar was extremely dim. Zhou Chuxuan and the other two looked at each other for a long time, followed by a period of silence.

In the end, it was Nangong Yanling who broke the silence first: "Your Highness, I think we should take the initiative! We will stay in the capital, but secretly send elite troops to search for the whereabouts of Prince Jin and Zhou Shaxuan!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded, his eyes gradually brightening: "That's right, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we must take the initiative! Moreover, it's not just them who can network with the world's talents, we can do it too!"

"Tomorrow, I will issue an order in the name of the Crown Prince, summoning all the sorcerers in the world to come to the capital!"

"Your Highness, are you going to..."

Nangong Yanling blinked her beautiful eyes, as if she had understood what Zhou Chuxuan meant.

"Correct!"

Zhou Chuxuan nodded: "I admit that there are indeed some talented people in this world who are proficient in Qimen Dunjia and can assist in governance to a certain extent!"

"Actually, Your Highness, the Wu Dynasty also has it!"

Suddenly, Murong Xue said in a deep voice.

"Ok?"

Zhou Chuxuan and Nangong Yanling immediately turned around and looked at her with burning eyes: "What did you say?"

"That's right. Back in the Wu Dynasty, there were indeed a group of talented people. However, the previous emperors basically expelled them all, saying that they were harming the country!"

"Do you think these talented people really have any abilities?"

Nangong Yanling smoothed her long hair.

Murong Xue nodded. "When I was a child, my father told me stories about these sorcerers. They were proficient in Qimen Dunjia and could calculate the fate of the dynasty very well. However, their outspokenness completely offended the emperor at that time!"

"Straightforward?"
