Chapter 1901 Hijacking
"The mechanisms in Xianghou Palace are not enough!"

"What a pity that all of them are spring-loaded crossbows. If there were a bell jar and boiling oil, they would have suffocated him and burned him to death!"

"Only those conditions are needed to defend the city walls!"

Gongsun Gui's technique is not unbreakable. As long as you determine the position and cover it with something, then seal it with grease, and then light a fire, the opponent will be suffocated to death.

This mechanism is not complicated. What is complicated is how to lure the other party into the trap.

There is indeed an opportunity tonight to defeat the strong with the weak and kill Gongsun Gui, but the mechanism in Xianghou Palace is of a different type.

Listening to the whispered conversation between Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun, the new emperor took a deep breath, only to feel that the way these two people fought was completely different from the philosophy he currently accepted.

In the education that the new emperor received, he must be strong and have the power to crush all repressive forces and tear the enemy to pieces.

Even when Emperor Jing was still alive and taught him, he only mentioned looking for an opportunity to strike a fatal blow, and there was little discussion of using the weak to defeat the strong.

Zhang Xuezhou was only in the fake supernatural power realm, and his cultivation was still in the body transformation realm, but he was extremely calm no matter he was being chased or counterattacking Gongsun Gui.

Li Shaojun's cultivation level and magic skills are unknown, but it is expected that his cultivation level is inferior to Gongsun Gui's, and his magic skills are difficult to resist, otherwise there would be no need for him to follow in a panic and flee.

In other words, both of them are using the weak to defeat the strong.

Moreover, the two men advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, and never attacked rashly or greedily.

"When you are strong, you will naturally use the methods taught by Wei Wan and Wang Zang, but when you are weak, how can you be so domineering and show off the majesty of an emperor!"

If you take one wrong step in your education, all of it will be wrong.

When the new emperor came to the throne, he was extremely powerful and placed Zhao Wan, Wang Zang and others in the court to take over power. However, he was later beaten down by a series of punches from the Empress Dowager and almost lost his throne.

If his queen had not been from the lineage of the Empress Dowager, he would have lost his throne by now.

Even so, his throne was in jeopardy. It was not until the real and fake Scarlet Sky Swords were properly arranged that he got a chance to catch his breath.

If he had spent more time with Zhang Xuezhou, Li Shaojun and others when he was young, the new emperor felt that he would never have lived such a miserable life during those years. Even without the fake Scarlet Sky Sword, he would have been able to advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

"Pity!"

It had been several years since the incident, and he was now living in peace with the Empress Dowager, so there was no need to repeat many of the incidents.

At this time, he was quietly lying in wait to become stronger, or waiting for the Empress Dowager to completely give up her power.

"Speaking of which, Uncle Liang was able to gain the favor of the Grand Empress Dowager, but his sons were not. If Uncle Liang cannot ascend to the throne of the Han Dynasty, the five sons of Prince Liang will be the source of trouble for the court in the future and will most likely be targeted by the Grand Empress Dowager!"

King Liang was qualified to inherit the Han Dynasty, so naturally his five sons were well-trained.

If these people are given another ten or twenty years of development, they will definitely become extremely outstanding and may even compete for power with the imperial court.

These people did nothing wrong. The only mistake was that King Liang did not become the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

If the situation were reversed, with Prince Liang ascending the throne and the new emperor out, his fate would not be much better than that of Prince Liang's five sons.

The winner in this royal feud takes all, while the loser is left with little or no burial.

The new emperor did not do anything, but someone was constantly paving the way for him and eliminating threatening factors within his ability.

The continued targeting also led Gongsun Gui to sneak into Chang'an City to investigate.

If he has a low IQ and is very suspicious, he might suspect that Li Shaojun and others were involved in the assassination.

After continuous analysis, the new emperor gradually understood the ins and outs of many things and knew why a sudden disaster was about to happen tonight.

"Oh no, the assassin has captured Bing'er!"

When Wei Shao'er outside the side hall of Xianghou Palace shouted, the new emperor suddenly woke up.

"Gongsun Gui, you are so despicable!" The new emperor cursed and shouted, not caring about the burning grey robe or the puppet fighting with Chen Zhang and others outside the hall.

He ran a few steps quickly and pulled open the iron bolt of the hall door with both hands.

"Oops!"

Zhang Xuezhou let out a low cry, and Li Shaojun's heart skipped a beat.

Gongsun Gui would be in a very bad situation if he was reduced to holding a young child hostage.

If the situation had not been extremely bad, Gongsun Gui would have forcefully taken back his magic weapon instead of resorting to such despicable means.

If they were to break the magic weapon used by Gongsun Gui, Gongsun Gui would most likely become a cripple. Even if the opponent had the cultivation level of the Self-Only Realm, he would still be killed by the long-range attack.

Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun instantly understood Gongsun Gui's physical condition. Their behavior was still a bit conservative after all. However, facing a great cultivator who was good at lurking and assassinating and had a higher level of cultivation, they could not be too cautious. Otherwise, the slightest negligence would lead to failure.

Gongsun Gui's poor health is a good thing, but it is a bad thing that the new emperor and others have lost their sense of proportion.

"Send my magic weapon back!"

The door to the side hall of Xianghou Palace opened, and everyone saw a naked, gray-haired old man holding a young child coming over a hundred meters away.

He grabbed the child and gestured to Wei Shaoer and Chen Zhang.

Wei Shaoer stopped attacking with his dagger, but the fight between Chen Zhang and the wooden puppet did not stop. They continued to entangle, making it difficult for the wooden puppet to get rid of Chen Zhang.

"Stop the sword fight, I can return the child to you!"

Gongsun Gui glanced at Wei Shaoer and Chen Zhang, then fixed his gaze on the new emperor who opened the door to the hall.

"Could this be the illegitimate child you and this woman had outside?"

In the Xianghou Palace area, Chen Zhang was still fighting fiercely. Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun in the side hall acted indifferent. Only the new emperor and Wei Shaoer were anxious.

This made Gongsun Gui's eyes constantly scan between Wei Shaoer and the new emperor, and he kept comparing the child's appearance with the two.

"Put down the sick child and I will allow you to go!" the new emperor shouted.

"Sick child, are you sick?"

Gongsun Gui glanced at the child in his arms.

When he grabbed the child, it started crying loudly, but when he held it in his hand, it became very obedient and stopped crying. Now it was looking at him with wide eyes.

Gongsun Gui touched it and felt relieved.

If the child is sick, even if he is the emperor's illegitimate son, it will be of no use. Instead of letting him live a few more years, it is better to use him to exchange for his life.

But the child in his hands was very healthy, so it was possible to use him as hostage in exchange.

As long as he gets the magic weapon, not to mention escaping from here, it is possible for him to quickly kill all the people present.

Gongsun Gui grabbed the child and lifted him into the air.

"I only give you three counts. Stop attacking my treasure and let me go, or I will throw him to death!"

Gongsun Gui pointed at Chen Zhang who was struggling with the treasure, and then pointed at the child in his hand.

"three!"

He shouted loudly, without giving anyone any time to discuss, or the chance to take action.

Compared to other areas, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion is simply a dead mansion. After such a long fight, only two masters of the palace guards came, and there was no one else.

If he could quickly win this exchange, Gongsun Gui felt that he might even have a chance to quickly counterattack.
