I, the prince, only want to be deposed.

Chapter 154: The prince actually sawed himself in public?
Amid the excitement caused by the people tasting the "immortal wine" in the audience, the curtain was drawn again.

Some people have noticed this situation and have turned their attention back to the stage:

"Does the prince still have magical powers?"

"He flew on clouds and mist before, and just now he took out the magical wine. What magical skill is the prince going to show this time?"

"It will only get more powerful, right?"

"..."

At this moment, the expectations of everyone present had reached a peak, and they were staring eagerly at the curtain on the stage.

The previous two magic arts were already amazing enough, and most people had already believed Liu Ju's lies, so they had reason to believe that Liu Ju's next magic arts would only be even more exciting.

Otherwise, how can you hold down the axis when there are pearls and jades in front of you...

While talking.

The curtain has slowly opened.

Liu Ju was still standing on the stage. The barrel and wooden table from which the immortal wine was taken out had been removed. What was now in front of him was a wooden Hu bed.

But what's strange is that this Hu bed seems to be split in half from the middle.

In the center of this Hu bed, there is a flat wooden box about one foot high.

The wooden box was consistent with the Hu bed and was split in half from the middle, revealing a tiny black gap from top to bottom.

"My fellow countrymen, now is the moment to truly witness a miracle!"

"Don't blink, or you will miss the most unforgettable scene and will regret it for the rest of your life!"

This time, Li Guangli did not introduce the magic in detail. Instead, after a very high-profile opening, he moved to the side of the Hu bed and reached out to open the flat wooden box on the Hu bed.

The boards that make up the wooden box are all movable, and the side panels can be completely lowered.

By just pulling a few bolts, the interior of the wooden box was completely revealed. It was empty inside, with only the flat bed board, and no clues could be seen.

"My fellow villagers, please take a closer look. This is just an ordinary bed."

"The reason why this wooden box is set up is because... the scene that follows might be a little scary. If it is not blocked, it might scare the children present!"

"Don't say I didn't warn you!"

"From now on, fellow villagers who bring their children to the ceremony must hold their children tightly!"

"Fellow villagers who bring their elderly to the ceremony must take good care of their elderly."

"For those elders who are not strong enough... please leave early, so as to avoid any problems and blame the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince will not be responsible!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate burst of laughter at the scene.

It has to be admitted that Li Guangli has grown very fast in this event. These are no longer contents of the script. He is now completely free to play and mobilize the emotions of the scene as he pleases.

Li Guangli really enjoyed this feeling.

When designing the script, Liu Ju taught him some techniques to mobilize the audience's emotions and create program effects. Not only did he use them all, but he also learned all of them by heart.

Now he feels that he was born to do this job.

It’s just that in the past twenty years or so, I have always been focused on improving my skills, so much so that I have neglected my talent in this area.

It was Liu Ju who gave him this opportunity and guidance, allowing him to see his own talents and understand the path he would take in the future!

"Your Highness the Crown Prince...has given me a new life!"

With such emotion in his heart, Li Guangli finally raised his hand and waved to stop the laughter from the audience.

Now the audience in the audience have already integrated into his rhythm. They don't even need to remind them loudly. With just such a small movement, they can control the situation.

"Next, please allow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show you the last magic of the day. Please come and witness it together!"

Accompanied by Li Guangli's high-pitched but not noisy voice.

Immediately, several assistants came onto the stage and assisted Liu Juping to lie down on the bed.

Then several assistants stood up the boards of the wooden box one by one and plugged in the bolts to restore it to its original state.

Soon, most of Liu Ju's body was inside the wooden box, with only the upper part above his armpits exposed and the lower part below his calves exposed.

"What on earth is this doing?"

"I can't see through it at all..."

"It's nonsense. If it's a magic, how can you see through it so easily?"

"..."

Amid the discussion, everything was ready.

Then two muscular men with bare upper bodies came out from behind the stage. One of them was holding a three-foot-long carpenter's saw, and the other was carrying a log as thick as a bowl.

This kind of saw can still be occasionally seen in some rural areas in later generations.

It consists of an "I"-shaped wooden frame. On one side of the "I" is an iron saw blade, and on the other side is a hemp rope, which is used to tighten the thin iron saw blade so that it will not deform during operation.

Wait until two muscular men come to the stage.

The man carrying the log finally put it down, and then the two men grabbed a large carpentry saw, one at each end, and started working on the log with a "squeaky" sound.

It only took a short while for sawdust to fly everywhere.

With a loud bang, the log as thick as a bowl was sawed into two pieces by the two men.

"???"

"This is……"

"Why are you sawing wood all of a sudden?"

The people in the audience were increasingly unable to understand what was happening on stage.

They were supposed to show off their magical powers, but how come these two strong men are doing carpentry work in public? What's so good about this? What's so magical about this?

"..."

Huo Guang frowned at this moment. Looking at the log that was sawed into two pieces, and then looking at Liu Ju lying flat on the bed, he suddenly had a very bad premonition...

"I believe you can see clearly, elders. Is this saw sharp enough?"

"Then next... the real magic is about to begin!"

Accompanied by Li Guangli's loud shout.

Upon hearing this, the two strong men immediately picked up the large carpenter's saw and walked towards the bed where Liu Ju was...

"not good!"

Huo Guang was horrified and instantly jumped up from the VIP seat, pushing aside several people and running desperately towards the stage.

"Could it be...?"

After Huo Guang called out like this, Sima Qian also reacted, his expression changed instantly, and he hurriedly ran out after Huo Guang.

"?"

Gongsun Qing and a group of local officials and alchemists also looked suspicious.

Soon they realized something and looks of fear appeared on their faces, especially the local officials. If something went wrong with the prince here, none of them would be able to escape.

The commotion in the VIP seats naturally attracted the attention of the people below the stage.

Especially when they saw the two strong men standing on both sides of the Huchuang, placing the large carpentry saw on the gap between the Huchuang and the wooden box.

"Wow——!"

A greater commotion ensued.

Before this, no one dared to imagine that Liu Ju's last magic was to saw himself in half in public?!
The performance of the officials and alchemists in the VIP seats was enough to show that even they had not expected such a situation to occur. They did not know that Liu Ju would actually display such terrifying magic in public!

Moreover, can a person survive if he is sawed in half?
If he could still live, wouldn't that mean he already possessed an immortal body, and no one in the world could kill him? !

However, when Huo Guang rushed to the edge of the stage.

The two Qimen warriors who were guarding nearby actually reached out to stop him:

"Captain Huo, His Highness has specifically instructed that your performance at this moment is also an important part of this event."

"His Highness also said that he knows what he is doing and he will never hurt a hair on his head. He asked you to watch honestly from the audience. If you dare to go on stage and interfere with his display of magic, the brotherhood will turn into hatred. Don't say I didn't warn you."

"Tsk!"

As he spoke, the Qimen warrior blinked at him and clicked his tongue:

"His Highness also ordered me to make this expression for you to see. He said you will understand once you see it."

"Understand? Understand what?"

Huo Guang was stunned. He understood nothing. He understood nothing.

This expression was not an agreed-upon code. Not to mention him, even if Wei Qing was called over, he probably wouldn't understand!

However, the words of the Qimen warrior still gave him enough warnings, especially the sentence "Brotherhood is about to turn into hatred, don't say I didn't warn you."

He clearly remembered that these were almost the exact words Liu Ju had said to Shi Wanjun!

And now, historians have...

Now that these words were said to him again, how could he not understand Liu Ju’s meaning? This was the real code and warning!
While talking.

"Captain Huo, under no circumstances can you let His Highness take risks!"

Sima Qian had also caught up and spoke to Huo Guang with a nervous expression while looking at the stage.

"..."

Huo Guang was in a state of hesitation at this moment. If it weren't for the words conveyed by the two Qimen warriors, he would have drawn his sword and killed the two of them and rushed onto the stage.

But now, he didn't know what to do.

at the same time.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak… squeak, squeak…”

A creepy sound was already heard on the stage.

“Wow——?!”

There was a burst of screams from the audience, because they clearly saw that as the carpenter sawed back and forth between the wooden boxes and wooden mats on the Hu bed, bright red blood was already flowing out from under the Hu bed, instantly dyeing the ground red.

"This, this, this...Captain Huo?"

Sima Qian only felt his scalp tingling, a chill rushed to the top of his head, and his brain completely lost the ability to think.

"Captain Huo..."

A group of local officials also ran over and gathered behind Huo Guang, not knowing what to do.

"Get out of my way!"

Huo Guang got so excited that the sharp blade at his waist was half unsheathed.

If these two Qimen warriors continue to block him, then don't blame him for being ruthless, because he has no time to think at this moment!
Just now.

"Tsk!"

Huo Guang heard the sound of clicking tongues again.

He looked up and saw Li Guangli on the stage also leaning over to look at him, and then winked at him like the two Qimen warriors.

"Could it be..."

Huo Guang was stunned again for a moment.

If these two Qimen warriors were unaware of the inside story, then Li Guangli, who had been following Liu Ju recently, must have known the inside story, and he acted so at this moment.

Am I really overthinking it?
　Thanks to Mr. [Wuyin Guke] for his reward and support.
