The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1253

Lowering his head slightly, King Yinglan made serious plans in his heart.

With no other choice, King Yinglan could only grit his teeth and agree, "As long as you can kill Shen Qing, I will give you everything without missing a single ounce."

Satisfied with King Yinglan's attitude, Cheng Wubin gave him a few simple instructions and quickly left.

Watching Cheng Wubin's retreating figure, King Yinglan clenched his fists tightly.

It was because of Xu Tian that he lowered himself to come here, and his resentment towards Xu Tian deepened, hoping to get rid of Xu Tian immediately.

Of course, there are very few opportunities to deal with Xu Tian now, so he has to be patient.

night.

Shen Qing and his companions had just spent the night at an inn when they were attacked by bandits.

In a moment of crisis, Shen Qing was able to escape by jumping into the river under the protection of his guards.

Before long, the news reached Xu Tian's ears.

After hearing this, Xu Tian's brows furrowed in dismay. "Immediately send someone to investigate what's going on and where Shen Qing is."

As luck would have it, they suddenly ran into trouble right now.

Xu Tian felt a headache coming on and didn't really want to say a word.

Because of this incident, Xu Tian didn't get a good night's sleep.

The next day!

Patting his head, Xu Tian coldly summoned several of his men.

After changing into his court robes, Xu Tian's mind was filled with yesterday's events. He felt somewhat uncomfortable and didn't particularly want to attend the morning court session.

But if he didn't go, he believed that King Yinglan would definitely take the opportunity to do something.

He absolutely had to prevent the King of England from taking any action.

"We must make thorough preparations today. We absolutely cannot let King Yinglan..." Xu Tian clenched his fists, but didn't say much more.

With preparations nearly complete, Xu Tian quickly left the Marquis's residence.

On the way, Xu Tian was constantly worried about Shen Qing's situation. Although he felt that Shen Qing would be alright, he was still somewhat afraid.

"I believe in you, so you must come back alive." Xu Tian slowly closed his eyes, his voice slightly softer.

Just as Xu Tian was about to take a rest, he heard his subordinates' voices outside the carriage. They informed him that they had arrived at the palace and hoped he would disembark immediately.

Nodding, Xu Tian quickly lifted the curtain and got off the carriage unhurriedly.

The anxiety on his face vanished instantly. Xu Tian casually walked up to a civil official and exchanged a few words with him while smiling.

"The Marquis seems to be in a good mood today. Has something good happened?" The civil official didn't notice anything amiss.

Hearing the civil official's words, Xu Tian was particularly satisfied. "No, it's probably because I've been resting well recently, that's why."

The two continued chatting as they walked, and the atmosphere gradually improved.

As soon as Xu Tian entered the court, he spotted the figure of Prince Yinglan.

King Yinglan was talking to several civil officials and seemed to be in a good mood.

Xu Tian didn't particularly care and simply walked to his seat. This was a crucial moment, and Xu Tian knew he absolutely couldn't afford to think of Shen Qing.
