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…"
