The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1089

After all the gunpowder materials had been delivered to the bearded merchant's room, Xu Tian simply made a light tap.

Upon receiving the instructions, the guards vanished instantly into the dark corner of the corridor.

Right after he finished giving his instructions, he led Songren and the others out of the inn.

"Your Highness, it seems that this matter has come to fruition. Shall we leave now?"

Songren believed that they were only stealing some gunpowder materials, which should be easy for them.

Xu Tian glanced inside the post station.

At this point, if they leave, they will easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, they must leave without realizing it.

So I just found a place to sit down.

He ordered his men to bring a large amount of wood and set up a campfire on the spot.

Wait a while, until they've finished stealing. Then they return to the post station.

Xu Tian had no intention of staying here.

He simply returned to the post station and removed his alibi.

They had only been out for a short while when they heard a shout from inside, "Thief!"

After the shout, Xu Tian and the others looked at each other in confusion, then looked inside. The post station was now in complete chaos.

After hearing the shouts, everyone scattered inside.

A subordinate stole gunpowder materials, and the other side sent guards to ambush him.

Just as that person was in danger, Songren was so anxious that he was almost jumping up and down.

Xu Tian quickly put on his coat and rushed inside.

He intervened in the matter by claiming that someone had reported it to the authorities.

Chang'an City is not far from this post station.

Even patrolling soldiers might pass by.

It seems quite reasonable for Xu Tian to play the role of an official catching thieves.

When the time was almost up, he went inside.

"So who sent you? How dare you steal things here?"

"Are you a bandit? Or something else?"

The businessman asked directly.

Xu Tian walked in from outside and immediately called out.

"Who reported this to the authorities?"

After hearing what he said, a man stepped out of the hall and said directly:

"I am a commoner."

"Sir, there has been a theft here."

Upon hearing those words, Xu Tian immediately sent people up.

"Thief! Tell me, which mountain stronghold are you from?"

The man remained silent.

Soon, Xu Tian gave that person a wink.

Until he had successfully stolen the gunpowder herbal materials.

Xu Tian was planning to use the pretext that the other party's subordinates were bandits to take them away under the pretext of imprisonment.

Charlie, the caravan leader, stepped forward from among their guards and expressed his hope that Xu Tian could send troops to protect them as they departed.

With the protection of government troops, they would no longer fear the reappearance of bandits.

Upon hearing their requests, Xu Tian readily agreed.

His most important task now is to protect his subordinates; he will go with the flow in everything else.

As long as he stole the gunpowder materials and manufactured gunpowder.

We might continue doing this kind of thing again and again.

Because he had to find the same material within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, we will need some very necessary things.

After he had thought this through, the leader of the merchants stepped forward.
