The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1115

Li Zhi himself dealt with the reports submitted by minor officials, which he considered to be more authentic.

After lunch, Xu Tian entered the palace.

Inside the imperial study, he informed Li Zhi of the news.

Emperor Gaozong lamented, "We had enjoyed several years of prosperity, but now war has broken out again, and it is the common people who suffer."

"People on the border do not want to see war. If things can be resolved peacefully, there is no need to resort to violence."

"Although they have already raised an army against the Tang Dynasty, it is not certain that they can be defeated. As long as we can make them back down, we can spare the people from suffering."

Xu Tian nodded.

He knew what Li Zhi was worried about.

That's right, isn't it because they're afraid of harming the common people?

In any war, it is always the ordinary people who suffer.

Xu Tian directly said to Li Zhi:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! I will take full responsibility for this matter, and I can ensure that this battle will be fought without a single soldier."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Li Zhi was shocked.

"Master, can you really wipe them all out without losing a single soldier?"

Although he still couldn't quite believe it.

But because Xu Tian said it, he believed it without a doubt.

Xu Tian nodded and bowed.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured! As long as you entrust this matter to me, I will certainly be able to accomplish it."

Li Zhi was very grateful to Xu Tian for his contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

"Master, thank you for your hard work on this matter."

"However, nowadays, we probably still need some manpower."

They don't want war, so they need enough wise men.

Li Zhi knew that if Xu Tian could say it, he could definitely do it.

The following day, Li Zhi finally granted Xu Tian's request.

Xu Tian disguised himself and prepared to go to the foreign country. He only took Song Ren and a few guards with him.

Li Zhi was not at ease, so he secretly dispatched bodyguards to protect him.

Xu Tian was grateful, his heart still filled with thanks.

After leaving Chang'an, he spread the word everywhere he went that he was a wealthy merchant.

He was indeed dressed like a businessman.

She even deliberately put on a businessman's makeup, although it looked a bit strange.

Even when they stayed at the inn, although they seemed to be keeping a low profile, they had already revealed their ostentatious nature.

These people treated Xu Tian like a big shot, someone who was obviously rich!

Generous with money.

Upon arriving in the foreign country, the capital city appeared to have a simple and honest folk culture.

Outside the restaurant, Charlie had an even more unexpected encounter with him.

"Ouch!" Charlie's carriage nearly hit Xu Tian.

Charlie stepped out of the carriage, saw the merchant before him, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Xu Tian shook his head, "It's nothing! It's nothing! She's not some beautiful woman, so there's no need to make such a fuss."

Charlie liked straightforward people. He clapped his hands, shouted, asked the man's purpose, and took him directly to a restaurant for a banquet.

This can be considered Xu Tian's first "benefactor" here.

Xu Tian was naturally delighted.

Inside the restaurant.

"Where do you come from?"

Xu Tian bluntly stated, "Foreign merchants!"

Charlie pretended not to know and asked many questions.

Finally, the two of them entered the room together.
