Emperor Jing Xuan was furious that such an accident had happened during the riding and archery competition.

Qin Jiang was unconscious and no testimony could be retrieved from him.

According to Su Cheng, the traitor of the imperial guards had killed Qin Jiang’s horse, snatched Qin Jiang’s bow and arrow, and shot Qin Jiang while he was escaping.

Then, after killing the traitor, Imperial Bodyguard Cheng took back his bow and arrow and shot the group of assassins in black.

“Lord Protector, these are all your one-sided words,” an official from Xiao Duye’s camp said.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows. “So you think I injured Qin Jiang and killed two imperial guards and so many assassins? You don’t really think I have this ability, do you? Although I’m indeed very powerful, look carefully. Two imperial guards died from sword wounds. My weapon is a saber! Also, my archery skills aren’t that accurate… Otherwise, why would I capture my prey

alive…”

When Emperor Jing Xuan heard this, his eyes were so cold that they could freeze a hundred fish.

If he had known that Su Cheng’s weakness was archery, would he have let Qin Jiang win through a simple contest instead of doing such complicated things?

“Maybe you know how to use a sword…” the official said.

Xiao Zhonghua said unhurriedly, “Assistant Minister Zhao, killing the imperial guards is a capital offense. There’s no enmity between the Protector Duke and the imperial guards. If he really did it, what’s his motive? Was he asking to be dragged back to be beheaded? If he really wanted to kill, he should have killed Qin Jiang, right? After all, the person who occupied his identity all these years was Qin Jiang. Since he killed two imperial guards, why did he let Qin Jiang

The Assistant Minister of Revenue, Official Zhao, successfully choked.

Su Cheng had no reason to attack the imperial guards. Of course, it could also be said that he wanted to attack Qin Jiang, and the imperial guards stopped him from being killed.

And after the imperial guards died?

Why did he keep Qin Jiang alive?

Moreover, they had all seen how powerful Su Cheng’s martial arts were. He was indeed above Qin Jiang, but to say that he could seriously injure Qin Jiang alone, kill two imperial guards, and shoot ten assassins to death…

They would not believe it.

Emperor Jing Xuan did not believe it either.

If he believed it, wouldn’t he be admitting that Su Cheng’s talent was more powerful than Qin Canglan’s?

It was not clear if they could find evidence to convict Su Cheng in the end, but the military power was probably Su Cheng’s.

“Father, it’s time to announce the results,” Princess Jingning reminded softly.

From the beginning, Emperor Jing Xuan had been playing dumb. He was unwilling to face the results of the investigation.
