You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!

"Your Highness, the men we sent out have found Li Rou's whereabouts. We request that Your Highness accompany us."

Just then, news of Deng Mei arrived from outside.

Chen Xuan was overjoyed, not expecting to receive news of Li Rou so soon.

He looked at Li Muwan and said, "Did you hear that? We've found it. As for what to do next, that's entirely up to you."

With this, he could exploit Li Muwan's weakness.

Li Muwan's expression was solemn, but a look of resignation had already appeared on her face.

"I'll discuss my affairs with you when I return tonight," Chen Xuan said, a meaningful smile on his face.

Immediately afterwards, he stepped out of the secret chamber and looked at Deng Mei, saying, "Come, follow me to take a look."

Inside the main hall, two attendants were waiting quietly. Upon seeing Chen Xuan approach, they quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"No need for formalities. Let's get straight to the point about Li Rou," Chen Xuan said.

One of the attendants said, "There is a woman in Ling County who looks very much like Princess Li. I cannot identify her, so I ask Your Highness to make a decision."

Chen Xuan looked at Deng Mei and said, "Quickly prepare a fast horse; I will go there myself to identify it."

Deng Mei cupped her hands in greeting and then went to prepare the horses.

Chen Xuan sped along, never stopping, heading towards Ling County.

At that moment, two burly men were closing in on a pretty woman dressed in red.

"This girl is pretty good; no wonder the young master has taken a liking to her."

"Stop talking nonsense, take him back, collect your reward, and leave. If it weren't for the young master's favor, I would have liked to have my way with him before selling him."

Hearing their words, the woman turned pale with fright and curled up in fear. "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill myself."

"Quite the spirit, little girl. Don't be naive. Follow my young master, and you'll enjoy a life of luxury and wealth from now on," the burly man grinned, revealing his yellow teeth.

The woman said in a panic, "Who doesn't know that your young master Zhou Xudong is ruthless? How could a woman who falls into his hands possibly have a good end?"

"Why waste words with her? Let's take a look first. As long as we don't do anything, the young master won't be able to tell. This woman is truly beautiful. We servants have no idea what a woman like this feels like," said the burly man with yellow teeth.

Upon hearing this, the other burly man couldn't help but glance at the woman's astonishing cleavage and the glimpses of her snow-white skin. He swallowed hard and said, "Brother Ya is right. Let's take a look. I can't wait any longer."

As they spoke, the two men pounced on the woman. When she saw that the two men were going to pull her away, she turned pale with fright.

"Get out of here."

Just then, Chen Xuan led a group of guards from the Prince's Palace into the room.

Because of Li Rou's special identity, Chen Xuan investigated her in secret.

On this trip, all the guards, including him, were dressed in civilian clothes.

"Damn it, you dare ruin my plans? Believe me or not..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Xuan gave Deng Mei a wink, and Deng Mei drew her sword and chopped off the hand of one of the burly men.

"Ah, we're from the county magistrate's office, you're finished."

Faced with the burly man's threat, Chen Xuan smiled coldly, looked at the woman, and asked with feigned concern, "Miss, are you called Li Rou?"

"Does the young master know me?" Li Rou asked in surprise.

"I'm taking you back this time. From now on, no one will dare to bully you!" Chen Xuan said.

This time, because Li Muwan was ordered to investigate Chen Xuan's identity, all her energy was focused on Chen Xuan, and she had no time to care about Li Rou.

This is why Zhou Xudong, the son of the county magistrate, took a liking to Li Rou and wanted to possess her.

"Boy, this girl belongs to my young master. If you touch her, don't regret it!" Even though Chen Xuan and his group came in a menacing manner, staring at the background of the county magistrate's mansion, the two burly men were not intimidated at all.

At this moment, a guard approached Chen Xuan and said, "Your Highness, you may not know this, but this Zhou Xudong bullies men and women in the county town. He once wrote obscene poems about Princess Li, but because of the power behind him, nothing came of it! He's targeting Miss Li probably because she looks exactly like Princess Li!"

Chen Xuan's face immediately darkened. How could the son of a county magistrate be so arrogant?

Even if Li Muwan is not good enough, she is still the white moonlight of the previous life. How can he be allowed to desecrate her?

The most terrifying thing is that he committed blasphemy, yet nothing happened to him?

This made Chen Xuan wary, mainly because he knew that Li Rou and Li Muwan looked alike.

For Chen Xuan, this is someone who must be eliminated!

Even the entire county magistrate's office must be found guilty and eliminated!

"Take Miss Li back to the manor first!" Chen Xuanchong's guards ordered, then looked at Deng Mei and said, "Go and summon five hundred ancient Qiang cavalry to accompany me to the magistrate's residence!"

The king?

As soon as he finished speaking, the two burly men's faces darkened.

"Your Highness, please forgive me! I didn't know it was you. I offended you just now. I beg Your Highness to spare my life!"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Take them to the magistrate's office!"

Inside the magistrate's residence, inside the sleeping quarters.

A sinister smile crept across Zhou Xudong's face as he looked at the rows of abducted women and smacked his lips, saying:

"Excellent! Once Erhu and Dalong kidnap that woman who looks exactly like Princess Li, I, this young master, will indirectly get a taste of the princess's life!"

After saying that, she made the young women kneel down and stick their little bottoms up.

Then he whipped her until she was red and swollen, and ordered the servants in the mansion to watch.

These servants, who were initially uncomfortable, gradually turned to becoming accomplices to the tyrant.

They even came up with some unusual ways to play to satisfy Zhou Xudong's quirks.

"Haha, in this Ling County, whichever woman the young master takes a fancy to, that woman has to obediently come to the young master's bed."

"That's right, with my father backing me up, who dares to touch me? Besides, my father has the old prince backing him up. Behind the old prince is the entire royal family. Even the Prince of Qin would have to show me some respect with that kind of power! However, I've heard that Princess Wang Qingyi and Madam Zhen Mi are absolutely stunning beauties..."

As he spoke, he licked his lips and revealed an evil smile.

Little did they know, Chen Xuan had already led his men in and stormed in.

The servants inside chimed in, and Zhou Xudong was so engrossed in his play that he was completely unaware that hundreds of ancient Qiang cavalrymen had stormed into his residence.

"Is that so? Even I, the King, have to show you respect?"

Chen Xuan's face turned cold, his face filled with murderous intent. This bastard dared to fantasize about Wang Qingyi and Zhen Mi.

Looking around, the women had been tortured beyond recognition.

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes, having found a plausible reason to kill him.

"Take them away and have someone treat their wounds."

Chen Xuan looked at the women and gave instructions to the ancient Qiang cavalry behind him.

Then, Zhou Xudong saw Chen Xuan appear before him, rubbed his eyes, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

Zhou Xudong was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"I'm considering how to make you, this lecherous thief, die a painful death?" A wicked smile appeared on Chen Xuan's face.
