Chapter 1899: Counterfeit meets genuine goods
The Mansion of Marquis Pingyang is not a mere few hundred square meters of a rich man's house. Although the Mansion of Marquis Pingyang in Chang'an City is not as exaggerated as that in Yangxin County where one needs to take a horse-drawn carriage to get around, it is also surprisingly large.

The new emperor ran in front, and Zhang Xuezhou and others chased him desperately from behind.

After running a long circle, Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun couldn't help but shudder in their hearts.

The new emperor's running route was so accurate that it could not be more accurate, but he could not withstand the attack from his opponent who was running with his legs.

Running continuously in Pingyang Marquis's mansion was no match for flying straight ahead.

Zhang Xuezhou's shouting scared Gongsun Gui, but Gongsun Gui's voice gradually got closer, obviously eliminating the risk.

"Where is the agency?"

Even Li Shaojun had to ask hurriedly while running away frantically.

"We have to run to Xianghou Palace!"

The new emperor replied breathlessly.

People travel outside the Pingyang Marquis Mansion by horse-drawn carriage, while people use sheep carts inside the mansion. Sheep carts are smaller and can travel leisurely everywhere.

But when escaping, he could only rely on his legs and could not walk leisurely, so the huge size of the marquis's mansion became a burden.

Not to mention that Li Shaojun was running out of breath, the new emperor was also running very hard as a warrior. Gongsun Gui, who was chasing him from behind, no longer tried to intimidate people, but snorted coldly from time to time, and it was obvious that the chase was not easy either.

Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, was still calm and composed.

Zhang Xuezhou has been running for his life for so many years that he has gotten used to it. Although he is not that strong, he is the best at running errands. An occasional gust of wind and waves will make his body feel extremely light.

"It's useless for you to brag about Xianghou Palace!"

Gongsun Gui, who was chasing him from behind, was also extremely annoyed after being frightened by Zhang Xuezhou's Three Talents Formation.

There is indeed a Three Elements Formation in the formation, and the concave or convex positions formed by heaven, earth and man can just give a head-on blow to anyone who enters the house.

Those who are good at tracking and killing rely most on their physical agility and difficulty in being detected, thus making conventional attacks look extraordinary. The emphasis is on using surprise, intimidation, and shock to weaken the opponent's strength.

What this kind of cultivator fears most is not encountering a strong enemy, but being trapped in a place and unable to leave. Formations, traps, etc. are all unexpected factors that they need to avoid.

Zhang Xuezhou's shout really hit Gongsun Gui's weak spot, causing him to miss the pursuit for a while.

"Prepare to die!"

Gongsun Gui muttered to himself.

The body moves forward in the dark shadow like flowing water.

Occasionally, a shadow of surging waves would appear, then quickly disappear.

But the Xianghou Palace mentioned by the new emperor had indeed arrived.

After running for half a quarter of an hour, these people entered a side hall.

There were sounds of "clicking, clicking", and the doors, windows and other places were all locked by metal.

"Light up!"

There were whispers in the side hall, and the light in the palace became bright.

This is a bright environment that ordinary lurkers hate, but Gongsun Gui felt that these people had made a mistake, that is, he was not an ordinary lurker.

If it weren't for the bright sunlight at noon, it would be difficult for him to be restricted in casting spells due to the light.

Any shadow would provide him with a place to hide.

The most important thing is that his cultivation level surpasses these people. If Li Guang and others had not restrained him, it would not be too difficult for him to kill cultivators of lower levels with his higher level, and he would not need to hide his killing moves.

"hey-hey!"

"Gongsun Gui, what on earth do you want to do with your treason? Aren't you afraid of having your entire clan exterminated?"

When Gongsun Gui was mumbling, he heard a loud shout from the hall. This immediately brought back many of his old hatreds.

The revelation of his identity made Gongsun Gui frown, as he couldn't figure out how he had revealed his identity.

He hid in the operation for a long time, and only appeared for a few seconds to check when the carriage overturned.

If his identity was exposed in just a few seconds, Gongsun Gui would find it hard to believe such a thing.

"Did Uncle Liang instruct you to assassinate Chao Cuo and pin the crime on my father, so that he would be labeled as a master killer and alienate himself from many ministers?"

"Are you looking for Sima Xiangru because you want to learn from him why the five sons of Liang Wangshu were targeted one after another?"

Perhaps it was the mechanism of Xianghou Palace that gave him confidence, and the light dispelled the darkness in his heart. The new emperor in Xianghou Palace shouted repeatedly, without fleeing in panic as before, but with more imperial majesty.

"You didn't respond, which proves that you were thinking. It even acknowledges who you are and what you have done!"

Gongsun Gui's threatening voice only paused for a short moment, and then the new emperor caught his attention.

Of course, Gongsun Gui must say that those in high positions are very good at doing this kind of thing, and they have done too many cases of blaming and convicting people. No one is more familiar with this routine than the emperor.

He laughed coldly. If he wanted to ask questions, he would not use this method of talking to the emperor from across the hall. Instead, he would make the new emperor beg for mercy and tell him everything under his torture.

He did not respond to the new emperor's words and began to look for a way to enter Xianghou Palace.

Those who are good at shadow arts have bodies as smooth as breeze and flowing water, and can drill into any gaps they encounter.

It is impossible for a large hall to be sealed completely without any gaps, and the presence of light proves the existence of gaps.

Gongsun Gui walked slowly around the hall. He stretched out his hand and chanted a spell. A piece of white silk was put on a palm-sized wooden figure, which immediately turned into a half-human-high figure, swaying and floating in the light of the hall.

After casually setting a trap to attract the attention of the new emperor and others, Gongsun Gui shrank his body and entered the shadow again, rolling in the shadow towards the dark crevice like running water.

There was even a window in this palace that was not closed tightly, perhaps because it was stuck or for some other reason, leaving a gap as thick as a finger.

The light from the hall came in, and Gongsun Gui, who was hiding in the shadows, raised his head, and saw that the three people in the hall were indeed looking at the small trap he had set, and they were all staring at the floating wooden man outside the window.

His body 'flowed' in through the gap in the window.

Before Gongsun Hong could let out a sinister laugh to scare the three men, Gongsun Gui saw the new emperor, who was looking at the shadows floating in the window, raise his hand, and a heavy wind hit his head.

At the same time, the old man holding a lamp beside the new emperor suddenly turned around, and the light immediately illuminated the dark place.

"It's really here!"

A heavy log as thick as a waist fell from the Xianghou Palace, and the sudden reversal of light revealed a gray figure in the shadows.

"Humph!"

A dull and painful sound was heard.

The heavy wood and the figure collided almost instantly.

The new emperor waved his hand, and the fake Chixiao sword flew out with a cold light.

When the sword fell, there was a pool of blood on the ground.

"The fake product touched the genuine product, you deserve to be beaten!"

Li Shaojun shouted with joy, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou's judgment was too accurate. He held the lantern in his left hand and grabbed a handful of soul-calling powder in his right hand and scattered it towards the figure that was pressed under the heavy wood.

This soul-calling powder is of little use to Gongsun Gui, but if it gets on the opponent's eyes or wounds, it can exert the power of lime powder.

Zhang Xuezhou is used to running away, and the fighting method used by Li Shaojun is not up to standard.

But it must be said that the two of them can often deal with the enemy in the simplest way.

The dull pain before quickly turned into an angry roar, and the gray figure rushed towards the window, leaving behind a gray robe and went out.
