"Impossible!" Jiang Tian said coldly, "Our Jiang family is a top business family in the Eagle Kingdom, and the Eagle Kingdom royalty would not abandon us so easily!"
"Besides, how could you, an insignificant person, know about the affairs of the Eagle Kingdom royalty? I will not believe your words, nor are they worth believing!"
"Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant, because your life will be gone tonight!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows.
"You are the one who will lose your life!"
Jiang Tian glared at Jiang Yi and said fiercely, then said to the surrounding assassins, "Attack, kill Jiang Yi for me. Whoever kills him, I'll give him ten million!"
Upon hearing this, the assassins' eyes turned red with excitement, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They rushed straight towards Jiang Yi.
Just then, several cars drove towards them, followed by many armored soldiers, as many as one to two thousand people!
Such a large formation quickly attracted the attention of Jiang Tian and the assassins.
Jiang Tian was stunned on the spot, not understanding what was happening.
Soon, the cars and the armored soldiers arrived outside the castle, surrounding it completely. Not even a mouse could escape.
The leading car stopped, and as the door opened, Grand Duke Barre and Cuixi stepped out.
Upon seeing these two, Jiang Tian's face changed immediately!
Jiang Tian was a smart man; he had already guessed it.
It must be that his sending assassins to assassinate Prince Matthew had been exposed, and Prince Matthew had sent Grand Duke Barre and Cuixi to eliminate him!
"Mr. Jiang, I didn't expect you to be here too!" Grand Duke Barre said to Jiang Yi with a smile.
In fact, Grand Duke Barre already knew that Jiang Yi would definitely go to Jiang Tian's castle. The reason he said this was for Cuixi to hear, to prevent her from having any doubts!
"I'm here to settle the score with Jiang Tian!" Jiang Yi said, then deliberately asked in confusion, "Did something happen? Why have you and Miss Cuixi brought so many people?"
"Don't mention it. Someone sent assassins to assassinate Prince Matthew, and they also rescued a very important prisoner. We captured a few assassins, and from them, we learned that the mastermind behind this incident is Jiang Tian!" Grand Duke Barre said.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yi pretended to be ignorant.
"We have thoroughly investigated, and there is absolutely no mistake about this matter!"
"Jiang Tian is a member of the royal family. In the entire Ximeng Prefecture, only he would do such a thing! After all, the Jiang family is a running dog of the Eagle Kingdom royalty, and it's not strange for them to do things for the Eagle Kingdom royalty!" Cuixi also spoke up.
"Jiang Tian is truly audacious!" Jiang Yi said with a slight smile.
"Actually, one of the reasons Prince Matthew sent us to eliminate Jiang Tian today is also to help you. Prince Matthew values you very highly, so if you want to deal with the Jiang father and son, Prince Matthew will naturally lend you a hand!" Cuixi said, smiling at Jiang Yi.
"Then I must thank Prince Matthew properly," Jiang Yi said quickly.
Jiang Yi was pretending. He was not a fool, and he naturally knew that Cuixi was just saying pleasantries.
Clearly, Jiang Tian had sent assassins to assassinate Prince Matthew, and Prince Matthew himself wanted to kill Jiang Tian.
At this moment, hearing the conversation between Jiang Yi, Grand Duke Barre, and Cuixi from not far away, Jiang Tian's face turned pale.
Jiang Tian knew very well that he was facing a disaster of annihilation.
"Jiang Tian, hand over the Guard Captain immediately, otherwise we will flatten your castle. It doesn't matter how many assassins are in your castle; they are useless, and you cannot escape!" Cuixi stared at Jiang Tian with sharp eyes.
"I did send people to assassinate Prince Matthew, but I don't know anything about any Guard Captain!" Jiang Tian said, frowning.
Jiang Tian was telling the truth; he really didn't know anything about a Guard Captain. He had only sent some assassins to assassinate Prince Matthew earlier.
"Jiang Tian, you are truly adept at sophistry. Even now, you are still playing coy!"
"Just two hours ago, everyone clearly saw that the assassins you sent rescued the Guard Captain from the Grand Duke's Mansion. You are too cunning. On the surface, you were going to assassinate Prince Matthew, but in reality, you were going to rescue the Guard Captain!"
"Your sophistry is useless. If we didn't have absolute certainty, we wouldn't have brought so many people to your castle!" Grand Duke Barre said.
"This is clearly framing!" Jiang Tian said to Grand Duke Barre, then spoke to Cuixi, "Grand Duke Barre and Jiang Yi are in league. They must have colluded to frame me. Don't fall for it!"
Jiang Tian knew that Cuixi was Prince Matthew's adopted daughter, and Cuixi was in charge. Cuixi's influence was far greater than Grand Duke Barre's.
Cuixi frowned and said nothing.
"Miss Cuixi, you have just arrived in Ximeng Prefecture and are unaware of many things. Jiang Yi and Grand Duke Barre have long been allied."
"As far as I know, even Grand Duke Barre's most beloved daughter, Natasha, is Jiang Yi's student, and Natasha has always been helping Jiang Yi with his affairs!" Jiang Tian said to Cuixi.
"I don't need you to tell me these things; I know them myself. I am giving you one last chance. If you hand over the Guard Captain, I can intercede with my adoptive father on your behalf and ask him to spare your life!" Cuixi stared at Jiang Tian.
What Cuixi said was completely untrustworthy. Even if Jiang Tian handed over the Guard Captain, she would not let him go.
She knew that Jiang Tian and his son were both members of the royal family, and the royal family was Prince Matthew's sworn enemy. How could Cuixi let Jiang Tian go?
No matter what, Cuixi would not let Jiang Tian go today.
Simply based on Jiang Tian's act of sending people to assassinate Prince Matthew, Cuixi had already resolved to kill Jiang Tian.
"I have been framed; I did not rescue any Guard Captain!" Jiang Tian said, frowning.
Jiang Tian was filled with anger at this moment. He suspected that this matter was definitely Jiang Yi's scheme.
Jiang Yi had said earlier that he would surely die tonight.
However, no matter how Jiang Tian explained, Cuixi did not believe him.
"It seems you are unwilling to hand over the Guard Captain. In that case, we can only kill you and then flatten your castle!" A hint of killing intent flashed in Cuixi's eyes.
The armored soldiers had already begun to advance rapidly towards Jiang Tian's assassins, preparing to engage.
"Hahaha!" Jiang Tian suddenly burst into laughter.
"It seems you all want to put me to death, but you can't kill me. Let me tell you the truth! The King has sent a special envoy to Ximeng Prefecture, and he is residing in my castle!"
"With the special envoy here, let's see who dares to touch me. Even if Prince Matthew came, he wouldn't dare to kill me on sight!"
Hearing this, Cuixi paused.
She had not expected that the King would send a special envoy to Ximeng Prefecture.
Jiang Yi and Grand Duke Barre looked calm, as they already knew about Mensa's arrival in Ximeng Prefecture.
