Jiang City.
South Town palace.
At this moment, the palace was still in a state of silence.
Outside the mourning hall, many ministers knelt and saluted.
At this moment.
A young man wearing mourning clothes with a white silk ribbon on his forehead looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.
At this moment, she was anxiously walking towards a noblewoman with tears under her eyes. From her anxious appearance, it seemed that something big had happened.
The young man approached the woman and was about to speak.
The woman glared at him without batting an eyelid, and then handed him the incense that she had just lit up.
The young man's words that were about to reach his mouth could not help but pause.
He hurriedly took the incense from the woman and respectfully kowtowed a few times before inserting the incense into the incense burner in front of him.
After a series of procedures, the noblewoman vaguely brought the young man to the side hall behind the mourning hall.
In the side hall.
"What's the matter? How could the dignified Second Young Master of King Zhennan behave like this!”
The noble lady's brows narrowed as she immediately reprimanded.
It could be seen that he was extremely dissatisfied with his child's cultivation.
"Mother! The assassination failed!"
Jiang Tianhai was scolded, but he was still disturbed by the panic in his heart.
He did not explain anything for a moment and immediately told her the reason.
"What? This is impossible!"
"Didn't the Green Mountain Sword Sect promise us that they would send six top-notch experts to make Jiang Tianming disappear?”
When the beautiful woman heard this, she was also shocked and frowned.
Apparently, she had been waiting for news from Yan City these past two days.
Unfortunately, in the end, he heard such a result.
"The people of the Green Mountain Sword Sect promised that they would send us a message the next day once they succeeded.
Later on, when the plan started, the six first-rate experts suddenly lost contact after the assassination.
The people of the Green Mountain Sword Sect were suspicious of the spies in Yan City, so they started to investigate. But…"
" How would I know?!"
Seeing Jiang Tianhai stammering, the beautiful woman's heart was suddenly filled with an unknown fire.
"Who knew that the next day, big brother would lead three thousand troops out of the city.
In the rear of the army, the six assassins of the Sword Sect of Green Mountain were all arrested and paraded in public.
I'm afraid they're heading straight for Jiang City..."
The more he spoke, the weaker Jiang Tianhai's voice became.
He had lived under Jiang Tianming's halo since he was young, and he had a sense of reverence for Jiang Tianming from the bottom of his heart.
If it wasn't for the fact that his aunt, Jiang Tianming's biological mother, had passed away and his mother had taken charge of the rear court, Jiang Tianming's mother wouldn't have died.
It was likely that there was no such thing as the mother and son now.
Not to mention snatching the right to inherit the throne from the other party.
What was done was done. What should be done and what should not be done had been done.
There was no room for negotiation between him and Jiang Tianming.
It would have been fine if the other party had died in the assassination attempt, but the assassination attempt had failed.
Not only did the other party not die, but he also brought 3,000 elites to Jiang City. It was impossible to say that he was not panicking.
"They came so quickly!"
The second wife of the Jiang Kingdom, Zhao Ji, was shocked.
How long has it been since King Jiang died? Yan City had sent troops back to Jiang City so quickly!
It seemed that Jiang Tianming couldn't be underestimated.
There must be a spy in Jiang City.
"Six first-rate experts were subdued…
Had he fallen into a trap?
It was the housekeeper and Xiao Lin who attacked…"
Zhao Ji's eyes settled, and she kept thinking. She didn't say anything for a while.
The side hall fell into a strange silence.
"Mother! Mother…"
Jiang Tianhai could not help but call out to his mother when he saw that she was stunned.
He was currently at a loss, and this silence really made him uneasy.
"What are you arguing about!"
The shouts in her ears interrupted her thoughts. Zhao Ji rubbed her temples lightly.
He looked at Jiang Tianhai, who had silently lowered his head because of his reprimand.
For a moment, a figure who had been extraordinary since he was young and appeared extremely steady flashed across Lady Zhao's mind.
" Sigh…When will Hai 'er be as calm as him…"
He shook his head and threw away the emotions that shouldn't have appeared in his mind.
To her, even if Jiang Tianhai's current performance was inferior to Jiang Tianming's, he was still her son.
Helping her son ascend to the throne was the greatest love that a mother could give him!
"Don't worry."
"The guard general of the Yaogu Pass is Mother's man. With him here, he definitely won't let Jiang Tianming enter the pass!
At that time, as long as you stall Jiang Tianming, I will work with some ministers to think of a way to let you inherit the throne.”
Seeing that Jiang Tianhai was a little depressed, Mistress Zhao could not help but feel sorry for him, so she comforted him.
"Really? Mother…"
"That's good, that's good. This way, I won't have to see big brother anymore…"
Jiang Tianhai's eyes lit up.
As he spoke, it was as if he was not as happy as Jiang Tianming when he inherited the throne.
As she watched Jiang Tianhai finally leave in peace, Mistress Zhao sighed deeply in her heart.
His gaze traced back to the time when King Jiang died.
He didn't expect King Jiang, who was a little ridiculous in his later years, to not let go of Jiang Tianming and change the crown prince even at the last moment.
He didn't change the crown prince's edict, nor did he set up the succession edict, he just died suddenly.
This made some of her ideas useless, and she couldn't get the support of her subjects.
Some things had also reached a stalemate.
He recalled that four years ago, Jiang Tianming went to Yan City obediently.
At that time, she had thought that Jiang Tianming was a person who would submit to adversity.
However, he did not expect that after King Jiang's death, the other party did not hesitate at all, nor did he wait for any orders.
He directly led his army here, as if he was the future ruler of the Jiang Kingdom…
A storm is coming!
It seemed that some things had to be decided early. Otherwise, once the opportunity passed, it would be too late!
Zhao Ji's gaze was faint, but it gradually became firm.
