The second prince's fiery voice silenced the entire Jingshui Tower. His Highness's temper was like the scorching sun, and few of those who got into his temper could be spared.
The most helpless thing is that His Highness has never had any scruples. He is a reckless man who hates evil and does things regardless of the consequences, so it is just to make himself uncomfortable to argue with him.
The second prince led his men and horses on a rampage in Jingshui Tower. Several stewards could only watch anxiously, but no one dared to step forward to stop him. After all, he was the prince.
"Third brother! You know how to do these sneaky tricks! Get out of here!"
The second prince rushed to the top floor first. When he saw the two guards of the third prince guarding the door, he punched them twice in anger, turning them into ground worms.
In fact, the second prince's martial arts is quite average. At best, it can only be called proficient in bow and horse, but that's it. The third prince's guards are all masters of boxing and kicking. How could they be knocked down by him in one blow? They are just worried about each other.
I'm just acting with him.
"stop!"
After one of his own was beaten, the third prince could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. He bravely came out of the room, followed by Tian Jun, who had a gray face.
The third prince glanced at the guard rolling on the ground, frowned and said, "Second brother has always disliked this place of fireworks. Why do you have time to come to my brother's banquet today?"
"snort!"
The second prince glanced at Tian Jun and said coldly: "Third brother, stop pretending! I didn't know that you, a dignified prince, would use such despicable means to kidnap someone. Do you think this is the case?"
Are the laws of the imperial court nothing?"
"What? Rape?"
The third prince was shocked and said angrily: "Second brother, what are you talking about? I admire Mr. Tian's literary talent, so I specially set up a banquet to invite him today. How can I talk about kidnapping!"
"Humph! Yes or no, you know it yourself."
The second prince obviously didn't believe the third prince's explanation. He signaled the guards beside him to come forward and "rescue" Tian Jun. The two strong guards understood and immediately rushed forward, but they were crawled from the ground.
The guards of the Third Prince who got up stopped him.
After all, they didn't dare to fight back against the second prince just now, but in front of the third prince, they could no longer let the other party do whatever he wanted.
Seeing a fight happening, there were many people in Jingshui Tower. Once chaos broke out, it would be inevitable what kind of news would spread tomorrow. Tian Jun saw it in front of his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He couldn't just watch the two buildings being damaged because of him.
The reputation of the prince.
So even though his heart was extremely difficult, Tian Jun still stood up and said: "Your Highnesses, please stop. This is a misunderstanding."
"Mr. Tian, the sword has no eyes, please get out of the way!"
"Tian Jun, step back!"
The two Highnesses spoke out one after another, and Tian Jun sighed in his heart, and said to His Highness the Second Prince: "Your Highness, what happened today is indeed a misunderstanding. It was indeed His Highness who invited me to attend the meeting, and there was no intention of intimidation.
"
As soon as these words came out, the third prince was naturally surprised. He thought this was Tian Jun's expression of his support for him. In contrast, the second prince's face became terrifyingly gloomy.
"Tian Jun! Do you know what you are talking about!" the second prince scolded sternly.
Tian Jun sighed in his heart, but he had to say: "Your Highness, today's misunderstanding originated from me. If I damage the brotherhood between the two Highnesses just because of me, I will never redeem myself!"
The third prince was inexplicably moved, and he also stepped forward and said: "Second brother, I have long admired Mr. Tian, but there is nothing wrong between me and him. I hope that second brother will not misunderstand."
Tian Jun smiled bitterly. No matter how the third prince explained this kind of thing, it was useless. In fact, considering the character of the second prince, the more he explained, the darker it became.
Sure enough, the second prince's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He glanced at the two of them coldly, and finally walked away. This scene showed that Tian Jun's face was as bright as gold.
The third prince hurriedly showed his courtesy at this time, but Tian Jun could no longer muster the energy to respond to him. Yang Zhiyuan, who was watching a fight between gods in the corner, was also quite embarrassed.
He was also involved in this matter. Because he felt a little sorry for Tian Jun, he bribed the manager of Jingshui Tower and planned to use Jin Chan to escape.
Although he was so drunk just now that he couldn't tell the difference between north and south, his plan should not go wrong. At least he expected that the second prince should not return to the city so soon. Something must have happened.
...
After a night of fermentation, the incident was thoroughly spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, but the content of the incident was strangely deviated from the facts.
Two highnesses fighting against a man, this kind of thing would have become a topic of conversation for the common people after dinner, but what is unexpected is that the story has changed from time to time.
At first, people only thought that the third prince wanted to poach him, but the second prince stopped him and failed.
However, as people spread the news, the dispute between the two princes was marginalized, and Tian Jun's speech became the center of the storm. Some people began to spread the news that what happened yesterday was that Mr. Tian himself planned to change the family, but was caught red-handed.
This kind of statement is still spread in a clear way. Yesterday's words of advice from Tian Jun, knowledgeable people will naturally understand that he is to avoid the fight between the two highnesses. However, in the ears of outsiders, those words become his.
A despicable face to please the new master.
These rumors spread more and more widely. It is impossible without someone behind the scenes. Facing such a powerful black hand, Tian Jun knew that he was powerless. He tried to explain to the second prince, but unfortunately the other prince did not even let him in.
This scene convinced everyone in the capital that the second prince, the wise man, must have completely fallen out of favor. Even if the two men could repair their relationship in the future, the second prince might not be able to trust him as before.
For others, especially for the other princes' forces, this is undoubtedly a good thing, because without Tian Jun's help, the second prince would be just a reckless man.
Among all the people, the sixth prince was undoubtedly the happiest. As the initiator of everything, he was the one who broke the news to the second prince in advance, which ultimately made Yang Zhiyuan's plan come to nothing and made Tian Jun become a "family slave with three surnames" in the eyes of others.
The sixth prince was not seeking malicious revenge. In his mind, Tian Jun, who had left the second prince, had nowhere to go. To seek refuge with the third prince was tantamount to self-confirming rumors, and he would not do it based on his character.
Among the remaining princes, the seventh prince and the fourth prince have long since lost power. The fifth prince is just a salted fish. He has been completely flat and is not worth mentioning at all. The only one the opponent can choose as his next family is the sixth prince.
So these days the Sixth Prince has been waiting every day. He is waiting for the opponent to be cornered and he will perform another good show of sweeping the bed to welcome him.
Unfortunately, he waited and waited but did not receive Tian Jun's allegiance. Instead, he waited for the news that he had been taken to the Lu Mansion by Yang Zhiyuan.
