"Humph, these geniuses in the core area are just like that. We chased them away like rats crossing the street!"
"Haha, this is so refreshing! If it were in the real world, we wouldn't be able to catch up with their fighting power, but here we can beat them and make them flee in panic!"
"Did you see that? Among those three people just now, there was also the arrogant Gu Linfeng, but he was still beaten away by us!"
These geniuses were all so excited that they completely forgot that this round of tests was about wisdom and strategy.
Instead of suppressing their strength, they defeated the opponent with more numbers and allowed three core area geniuses to escape unscathed.
The genius with the holy light on his head didn't show any joy on his face. Instead, he said calmly, "Divide into four groups and search the palace with the surrounding imperial guards!"
"Although they left this place, they didn't necessarily leave the palace!"
They dared not disobey the words of this genius, not only because he had the strongest strength and talent, but also because he came from the Fuguang Holy Land, which was also a top force in the world of seclusion.
Inside the main hall.
The old emperor was still confronting Prince Jing. Since the formation was activated in the hall, people outside could not get in even if they wanted to.
"Did you hear that? All the assassins you brought with you have fled!" said the old emperor.
Prince Jing snorted coldly: "When you summoned me to the palace, you had already thought of this moment."
"Your situation is hopeless. Don't risk your life again. The right thing to do now is to rally the border troops and resist the alien invasion!"
The old emperor stood up, looking righteous and awe-inspiring. At this moment, he didn't look seriously ill at all.
"I can promise you that as long as you mobilize your troops to resist the foreigners, I will forgive your previous actions. You can continue to lead the army on the border and share the Qin Empire with me!"
At this moment, he undoubtedly showed the demeanor of a king.
Prince Jing raised his head and said, "Shared? There is only one emperor in the Great Qin! Even if you don't kill me now, you will definitely find a way to kill me later. I have no way out!"
"Don't you have any tricks left to use? Now I just need to deploy the formation. Once the Imperial Guards charge in, you won't be able to escape even if you have wings!"
"As for those frontier armies you mentioned, are you sure they will go to great lengths to avenge you after you die?"
The old emperor asked. The reason why he had not taken action and had not given up the formation was that he hoped to discuss a win-win solution with Prince Jing.
This was also the reason why he summoned Prince Jing into the palace, so that he would willingly mobilize the army to resist the foreign invaders.
"Hmph, you can give it a try by releasing the formation!" Until this moment, Prince Jing did not feel that he had lost.
Looking at his confident look, the old emperor pondered for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Wu Qian, this slave!"
After thinking about it, he could only think of this old eunuch who had always been very close to Prince Jing, although he had followed him since he entered the palace.
However, after long-term contact with Prince Jing, no one can guarantee whether he has been instigated to rebel.
Moreover, his combat power is also very strong, and all the masters of the Forbidden City obey his orders. If the formation is released at this time, those masters of the Forbidden City will rush in.
And with Prince Jing's dying counterattack, he was indeed in great danger.
It would be better to get rid of Prince Jing in the hall first, but the combat power of both sides is very close, although he is stronger than Prince Jing in attributes.
But Prince Jing comes from a military background, and his best skill is combat experience.
No wonder he can still remain calm and still thinks he can turn the situation around.
"That's good now. The odds of winning are about even. No one is absolutely sure. Why can't we just shake hands and make peace?"
The old emperor continued to negotiate, "How about this, I will open the formation, you go out, take Wu Qian and the men you assigned with you and leave the palace."
"You can go to your own territory and continue to command the army. I will no longer interfere with any of your decisions!"
This is already a huge concession.
Prince Jing, who originally held military power, could not leave the imperial city, and his life was always in his own hands.
However, the two never fell out. After all, the old emperor only had the imperial guards, and all the troops on the border obeyed Prince Jing.
Because in order to prevent his children and grandchildren from rebelling, the previous emperor dispersed the power and sent Prince Jing to the frontier for training.
He did demonstrate his great talent in unifying the entire frontier army, and after so many years of getting along, the soldiers there only knew Prince Jing, not the emperor.
He already had absolute ambitions at that time, but unfortunately, the current old emperor was still better than him.
"Huh? Shake hands and make peace? Are you dreaming?" Prince Jing sneered.
As he walked around the hall, he said, "Fifty-fifty odds of winning! For me, this is an odds that I never dared to think about before!"
"How many people would want to take a chance and ascend directly to the Great Treasure!"
The old emperor's face immediately darkened. He had even stated that as long as Prince Jing retreated, he would ignore him.
At present, the combat power of the border army and the imperial guards should be evenly matched. It will depend on which side the alien race will attack first.
But such conditions were rejected.
"Didn't you just ask me if the position of emperor is really that important? Well, I'd like to ask you that!"
Prince Jing raised his head and looked the old emperor in the eye. "If this position is unimportant, then why are you unwilling to abdicate? I can spare your life and let you and your imperial guards get out of the imperial city!"
"I can prevent the army from attacking you and the Imperial Guards. We can just exchange territories and titles."
The old emperor suddenly sneered at this moment: "So, there is no room for negotiation!"
Wow!
He suddenly stretched out his palm, and his originally white fingers suddenly became covered with blood.
The battle between the two sides is about to break out.
Outside the hall.
Eunuch Wu's eyes kept turning. In fact, he was not completely persuaded to rebel. He was just betting on both sides. He would help whichever side had the advantage.
No matter who wins in the end, they will be able to have a good ending and will not die directly in the bloody changes.
The others were searching for Li Xuan and the other two in the palace.
After performing the remaining two space flashes, Li Xuan did not leave the palace directly, but hid in a side hall.
He was just thinking about waiting for an opportunity to assassinate the old emperor, when he turned around and saw a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a concubine's costume.
