The group entered the core hall without any obstruction. It was already dusk and the hall was brightly lit.
What made Li Xuan's eyelids jump was that all the contestants from the inner and outer areas whom he had never seen before were here.
They surrounded the hall with three inner and three outer layers. As long as they were there, not even a mosquito could fly in.
If they force their way in, even if all the people in the core area rush together, it will still not be enough.
Depend on!
This is the benefit of gaining the emperor's trust. We can actually deploy troops directly outside the hall. I just don't know if there is anyone else in the hall.
At this moment, after seeing this scene, Prince Jing's eyes changed silently, although he had heard before that there were many powerful people here.
But when you see it with your own eyes, the impact it brings is still different.
"Eunuch Wu, why do we have so many outsiders guarding here?" Prince Jing said with a somewhat displeased look on his face.
He has always been responsible for the security inside the palace, but now such a big change has suddenly occurred, which is a violation of his power.
Naturally he would show his displeasure.
Eunuch Wu had anticipated this and quickly said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. These powerful warriors have just stopped the assassination attempt by the rebels and saved Your Majesty. They are still trustworthy!"
"Humph, I'm afraid he has other intentions!"
Prince Jing snorted coldly and said no more.
He naturally knew that this was what the old emperor meant, and if he said more, it would probably make him unhappy.
Eunuch Wu, still smiling, led him outside the hall, then turned to Li Xuan and the others and said, "You don't have to go in!"
Li Xuan and the other three turned their gaze towards Prince Jing.
"Wait here."
After Prince Jing left his words, he went in with Eunuch Wu.
Li Xuan and his three companions turned around and stood guard outside very competently. They looked down on the contestants around them, and they themselves did not pay much attention to Li Xuan and the others.
After all, they could not see the tasks of the contestants in the core area in their mission, so they did not know that the trusted Prince Jing was actually a rebel.
Soon after Prince Jing entered the hall, bursts of hearty laughter were heard from inside, and it was obvious that the two of them had a close relationship.
Moreover, they are brothers and grew up together.
Not long after, Eunuch Wu came out, followed by several masters from the inner palace, and several peak seventh-level masters from the inner area also came out.
Li Xuan and the other two looked at each other. They knew that the critical moment had come. If Prince Jing could succeed, the old emperor would die immediately and their mission would be successful.
However, the three of them knew very well that the mission could not be so simple, so the time when Prince Jing took action was also the time for them to take action.
At that time, they will rush into the hall and kill the old emperor at all costs.
Prince Jing said something that Li Xuan agreed with, which was that assassination does not rely on overall strength, but on being unexpected enough.
Bang!
At this moment, a noise was heard in the hall.
"you!"
Prince Jing let out a loud roar.
The old emperor, slumped on the dragon throne, showed a meaningful smile on his face: "Second brother, second brother, look at you, you are still so anxious!"
"Didn't I tell you, after I die, the throne will be yours!"
At this moment, an extraordinary aura suddenly burst out from the old emperor's body, and his strength was even above that of Prince Jing.
In a one-on-one situation, it would be extremely difficult for Prince Jing to kill him.
"Hmph! But you are too long-lived!" A sinister look appeared on Prince Jing's face.
A long time ago, there were rumors in the palace that the old emperor was in poor health and was addicted to alcohol and sex all day long. His health had long been failing, but this news spread for several years.
He was still alive, but Prince Jing had to wait for several years.
"Haha, second brother, if my health wasn't so bad, you wouldn't see any hope at all, right?" The old emperor laughed.
Then, a man dressed in the uniform of the commander of the imperial guards was brought up. He was covered in wounds and his limbs were disabled.
"Did you promise him that you would make him a king of a different surname?"
The old emperor asked.
Then, one by one, Prince Jing's followers in the court were brought up. These were all secretly cultivated by him, and he thought that no one knew about what he was doing.
But after seeing this scene, his face became even gloomier.
"So, you knew this all along?"
Prince Jing raised his head, and at this moment his eyes became calm.
"Not only do I know this, I also know that you secretly supported the Tiandihui. The person I trusted the most has always been my enemy!"
The old emperor raised his eyes and looked into his eyes.
Prince Jing suddenly sneered: "Then you are doing this because you want me to hand over the military power in my hands, right?"
The old emperor's eyes suddenly turned stern. "Song Jing! Are you still so stubborn? My Great Qin is about to be swallowed up by foreign races, and you are keeping your troops stationary within our territory!"
"Do you want to watch the Qin Dynasty being devoured bit by bit by foreign races?"
From the beginning to the end, Prince Jing controlled a large number of troops on the border, so all along, the Qin State was swallowed up by foreign races because of Prince Jing.
The troops on the border all obey him, which is why he is confident that he can sweep away everything and seize the throne after the old emperor dies.
"Ha ha!"
Prince Jing laughed heartily. "Even if Great Qin is swallowed up by foreign races, I don't want to watch you keep stepping on my head. I also don't want to see Great Qin in your hands!"
Then, he said calmly, "I have already ordered the border troops. As long as I don't leave the palace today, they will immediately march into the capital!"
"Do you think my imperial guards are really afraid of you?" said the old emperor with his hands behind his back.
Prince Jing smiled indifferently: "Perhaps my troops are not enough to capture the capital, but it will also be a situation where both sides suffer losses. Can you stop the invasion of foreign races at that time?"
The old emperor stared at him intently, then sighed and said, "It seems that you must take this throne?"
