Although Emperor Tianxiang looked sad and angry, his eyes were blinded by hatred and turned blood-red.
However, Ji Tianxing didn't know him!
When the two met for the first time, the other party angrily called him crazy, which would have made anyone else confused.
He ignored Emperor Tianxiang, looked at Lu Ming expressionlessly, and asked, "Lu Ming, what do you mean?"
Lu Ming looked solemn and said in a low tone: "This is the emperor of the Tianxiang Empire. You have stayed in the Tianxiang Emperor for a few days before, and you have also been to the palace, right?"
"That's right." Ji Tianxing did not deny it.
Lu Ming continued: "I heard that you ruined the little princess Tianxiang's competition to recruit a bride, and you were favored and entangled by the little princess.
The little princess took you back to the palace for two days. You couldn't stand her entanglement and pursuit, so you killed her... right?"
"What?" Ji Tianxing was startled for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face: "The little princess Tianxiang was killed?"
"Yes!" Lu Ming nodded expressionlessly and said, "You were the last person she saw. Shortly after you left, the maid found that she had been killed, and her death was miserable."
"This is impossible!" Ji Tianxing finally understood. No wonder Emperor Tianxiang's expression was so sad and angry.
But this matter had nothing to do with him and he flatly denied it.
Seeing that he refused to admit it, Emperor Tianxiang suddenly shouted with a sneer on his face: "Long Tian! Stop acting, this is the palace, who dares to kill my daughter except you?
I admit that Xiang Yu was young and ignorant, and he did have the idea of keeping you and marrying you.
But I told Xiang Yu that she would never force you arbitrarily.
She was just expressing her affection for you. Even if you don't agree to her, you shouldn't kill her cruelly!!"
Ji Tianxing frowned and thought silently, but couldn't find a clue.
This incident was too sudden and completely beyond his expectation.
Although when he left the Tianxiang Palace, he knocked Xiang Yu unconscious with the power of his soul.
But Xiangyu was not actually harmed and would wake up after sleeping for an hour at most.
He really couldn't imagine that someone in the palace would take the opportunity to kill Xiang Yu?
Seeing Ji Tianxing's silence, Lu Ming frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Long Tian, did you do this?
If you really killed Xiang Yu, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation and apologize to Emperor Tianxiang..."
Before Lu Ming could finish speaking, Ji Tianxing shook his head, with a firm expression and a sonorous tone: "This matter has nothing to do with me, I didn't kill the person!
Xiang Yu did express his affection for me and repeatedly tried to persuade me to stay, but I refused.
In order to thank her for comforting the Marshal's Mansion for me, I left her a king-level battle ax as a thank you gift, and then got up and left.
What happens after that has nothing to do with me, and I don’t know anything about it.”
"Is this true?" Lu Ming frowned in confusion and asked.
Ji Tianxing nodded and said solemnly: "It's absolutely true."
Lu Ming was silent, staring at him for a long time, and had an answer in his heart.
Emperor Tianxiang refused to believe it, pointed at Ji Tianxing and sneered: "Long Tian, even if you lie, you have to have a limit, how can you make it up so blatantly?
You take the king-level battle ax as a thank you gift to thank Xiang Yu for helping you out?
Hahaha... When the maid in the palace entered the living room and saw Xiang Yu's body, there was no battle ax at all!"
After saying that, Emperor Tianxiang bowed to Lu Ming and said sadly: "Please be aware, Lord Territory Lord, that Long Tian is lying!
After Xiang Yu was killed, the space ring was intact on his hand, and there was no king-level battle ax in it."
"Huh?" Ji Tianxing frowned, a glint flashing in his eyes.
He suddenly found a breakthrough and vaguely understood something.
Lu Ming also noticed this, and asked in a deep voice with a majestic look: "Did you give me a king-level battle ax?"
"have!"
"No!"
Ji Tianxing and Emperor Tianxiang answered in unison, but their answers were completely different.
Lu Ming frowned fiercely and said in a majestic tone: "Since the two of you insist on different opinions, it seems that this should be the breakthrough point in investigating the truth."
Ji Tianxing nodded in agreement.
However, Emperor Tianxiang was full of anger, raised his hands and saluted: "Lord Territory Lord, this is obviously a lie compiled by Long Tian!
He was the murderer of Xiang Yu..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Ming looked at him sharply and shouted coldly: "Xiang Jiuge! Don't forget your identity!
I will help you uphold justice and investigate the truth of the matter, of course, in a fair and impartial manner.
Do you still want to instruct me to help you judge and punish Long Tian?"
Emperor Tianxiang's face froze, and he quickly bowed and apologized, "Lord of the Territory, please calm down, I don't dare!"
Lu Ming retracted his cold gaze and ordered in a majestic tone: "Since there is doubt about the matter, we might as well go to the Astronomical Capital in person and investigate it carefully.
Long Tian, Xiang Jiu Ge, do you have any objections?"
Ji Tianxing naturally agreed. Emperor Tianxiang wanted to object, but in the end he failed to muster the courage and could only acquiesce.
So, Lu Ming stood up and walked out of the palace, and told the Moon Eagle God King: "You stay at the Domain Lord's Mansion and wait for my orders at any time. I will go to the Celestial Empire Capital."
"As ordered." Moon Eagle God King nodded and quickly sent everyone away.
Soon, Lu Ming left the Territory Lord's Mansion with Ji Tianxing, Emperor Tianxiang and two guards.
Lu Ming sacrificed a divine ship, led everyone on board the divine ship, and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Pengfei followed everyone into the divine ship.
Lu Ming frowned and tried to dissuade him, but he insisted on going along.
Lu Ming didn't want to waste time, so he had no choice but to let him go.
"Whoosh!"
The divine ship closed the hatch, flew into the sky, and rushed to the Celestial Empire at lightning speed.
…
Lu Ming's divine ship is a king-level mid-level artifact and travels extremely fast.
Just two days later, the divine ship arrived at the imperial capital of the Tianxiang Empire and landed in the palace.
As the divine light flashed, the divine ship was put away by Lu Ming.
Everyone landed one after another and appeared in the palace.
Time was tight, and Emperor Tianxiang did not hold any ceremony to welcome Lu Ming's arrival.
Furthermore, Lu Ming acts in a low-key manner and does not want to be public.
Therefore, Emperor Tianxiang and the two commanders of the imperial guards took everyone directly to the scene of the incident.
On the way, Ji Tianxing looked at the palaces around him and sighed silently in his heart: "I thought that after passing by this place, I would never come back again in this life.
Unexpectedly, I have only been away for a few days and returned here again.
It was probably that low-grade king-level divine ax that killed Xiang Yu, right?"
Although, he doesn't have any feelings about Xiangyu.
I can't say I like it, nor can I say I hate it.
It was just a passer-by in his long life, and it would not have caused any waves.
But now that Xiang Yu has been killed, it will definitely delay him for a while, and will also add a twist to the ordinary journey to the dragon world.
Of course, even if time goes back, he will still decisively reject Xiang Yu and not stay in the Tianxiang Imperial Capital.
The difference is that he will never give a king-level battle ax as a thank you gift.
