The Second Prince's words were very straightforward.
Obviously, he was telling Ji Tianxing that this had nothing to do with him.
But Ji Tianxing did not know him well enough, so he could not be sure if he was telling the truth.
After all, it was normal for a scheming person like the Second Prince to not be able to tell the truth from the lies.
Yan Long cupped his hands and acknowledged the order. He quickly sent a message jade slip to convey the Second Prince's order.
At this moment, the group of experts and masters from the royal city also arrived at the battlefield.
The leader was actually the Third Prince, who was wearing a golden python robe.
Beside him were two upper-level Divine Lords wearing golden armor and the insignia of the Imperial Guard.
Judging from their strength, attire, and insignia, they should be the commanders of the Imperial Guard.
Behind the three of them in the night sky, there were more than 60 Imperial Guards wearing silver armor and holding long spears and halberds.
All of them were First or Second Level Divine Lords. If they were among the commoners, they would definitely be powerful.
Everyone knew that these dozens of Imperial Guards were the best of the best.
The Third Prince and the others hurriedly arrived at the battlefield. Their eyes were locked on Ji Tianxing as they flew over worriedly.
"I was wondering who was fighting outside the city and causing such a big commotion. So, it's Young Master Tianxing!"
The Third Prince recognized Ji Tianxing. Seeing him injured, the Third Prince was very surprised and shocked.
He turned his head and saw the Second Prince beside Ji Tianxing. He immediately frowned.
"Hmm? Why is Second Brother here too? "
The Third Prince was the commander of the Imperial Guard appointed by the king. He had full authority to command 20,000 Imperial Guards.
Although he was usually quite free and handed the matters of the Imperial Guard to the commanders, he was still in charge of the Imperial Guard.
But these two days were the Lantern Festival, and there were many people in the royal city. It was very easy for accidents to happen.
So, he could only personally lead the Imperial Guard to maintain order and safety in the royal city.
Just now, he heard from his subordinates that there was a big commotion outside the western suburbs.
After hearing the news, he was filled with anger and rushed over with his trusted generals.
He did not expect to see Ji Tianxing and the Second Prince here.
Hearing the Third Prince's question, the Second Prince smiled and took the initiative to explain, "Third Brother, there is something you don't know. Please listen to my explanation.
This Prince has long heard of Young Master Tianxing's deeds and has long been in awe of him.
Tonight, this prince will host a banquet in Chengyang Courtyard to entertain him. This can be considered as fulfilling the duties of a host.
Who would have thought that young master Tianxing would encounter an ambush right after he left the courtyard?
There were a total of three High Divine Lords on the other side, and they all wanted to kill Young Master Tianxing.
Fortunately, Young Master Tianxing was strong enough to hold on for seven or eight minutes under the siege of the other party and only suffered some minor injuries.
I heard from my subordinates that there was a big battle here, so I rushed over to check the situation … "
The Second Prince did not hide anything and simply told him what had happened.
After the Third Prince heard this, his expression did not change, but in his heart, he was muttering.
"Doesn't Second Brother have a deep grudge against Young Master Tianxing? Why would they host a banquet for him?
Moreover, Young Master Tianxing actually agreed?
He is not willing to be loyal to this Prince and is neither close nor distant to this Prince. Yet, he is in contact with Second Brother … What is he trying to do? "
At the thought of this, the Third Prince felt a little worried.
However, he did not show it and hurriedly asked Ji Tianxing in concern, "Young Master Tianxing, how are your injuries? Are they serious? "
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said, "They're just light injuries, nothing serious. Third Prince, you don't have to worry."
"That's good." The Third Prince nodded slightly and said in an indignant tone, "Which bastard actually ordered three High Divine Lords to attack Young Master Tianxing?
Killing people in public in the outskirts of the capital is simply disregarding the law. They must be caught and beheaded in public! "
With that, he ordered the golden-armored commander beside him, "Commander Mo, bring everyone to check the battlefield and investigate the clues and traces."
Commander Mo hurriedly cupped his fists and bowed, acknowledging the order.
Then, he brought more than sixty Imperial Guards with him to investigate the battlefield.
There was only one golden-armored commander left beside him.
At this time, he looked at the Second Prince and sneered, "Everyone knows that Second Brother and Young Master Tianxing have a long-standing grudge against each other.
I really don't understand why Second Brother would invite Young Master Tianxing to be his guest.
Moreover, the banquet was held in the western suburbs outside the capital.
Most importantly, right after the banquet ended, Young Master Tianxing was only 1,500 kilometers away, and the assassins could not wait to kill him.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world?
Second Brother, aren't you going to explain? "
The Third Prince's intention was obvious. He was making things difficult for the Second Prince.
Just now, the Second Prince had driven a wedge between him and Ji Tianxing. Now, he was also trying to drive a wedge between the Second Prince and Ji Tianxing.
This was especially true when he claimed that those three High Divine Lords were assassins.
This was already an obvious hint!
Everyone knew that the assassins of the Evil Blood Palace called themselves assassins.
The Second Prince had expected that the Third Prince would point the finger at him.
He was not angry. Instead, he spread his hands and looked at Ji Tianxing. He said with a wry smile, "Young Master Tianxing, did you see that?
Just now, I said that someone must have misunderstood and thought that it was me who did it.
You really didn't let me down! "
After that, he said to the Third Prince, "Third Brother, this is indeed a coincidence. It's normal for you to suspect me.
But this Prince can pat his chest and swear that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with this Prince.
Young Master Tianxing is so elegant and knowledgeable. I drank and talked with him for half the night. I felt like old friends with him at first sight. I regret that I didn't meet him sooner.
I can't wait to befriend him. Why would I order assassins to ambush him? "
The Second Prince said with certainty. He did not seem to be lying at all.
But everyone knew that it was difficult for a shrewd person like him to judge whether he was telling the truth or not.
The Third Prince stared at him expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "Second Brother, you should know that we won't believe you easily.
And I know that you're an expert in making what is false true and what is false false.
It's useless for us to argue here. Let's wait for the results of the investigation to come out. "
The Second Prince nodded slightly in agreement. He looked at Ji Tianxing and asked, "Young Master Tianxing, what do you think?"
Ji Tianxing also nodded and said calmly, "Guessing is useless. We can only confirm the answer with real evidence.
Before the truth comes out, you don't have to fight with each other to avoid letting the fisherman profit. "
The two princes were stunned when they heard the words' fisherman reaping the benefits from the fight '.
They immediately understood Ji Tianxing's meaning. Their eyes lit up and they quickly nodded in agreement.
"You've woken us up from our daze! Young Master Tianxing is right! "
"Young Master Tianxing has just experienced danger, but he can still maintain his rationality and calm. It's really admirable!
If the result is as Young Master guessed, then we have to be careful.
We underestimated that little brother before. His scheming and methods are not inferior to ours! "
The Second Prince and the Third Prince were smart people.
There was no need for Ji Tianxing to say it. They could guess the answer with just a little hint.
Moreover, they had reason to believe that this was very likely the doing of that person.
His goal was to drive a wedge between the two princes. He wanted to sow discord between Ji Tianxing and the Second Prince.
