The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1258

"I thought you were someone important." Cheng Wubin suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

It hasn't been that long, I never expected him to find this place.

"You're quite clever, knowing that we have no intention of attacking them." Cheng Wubin smiled and gestured for them to proceed.

Since Xu Tian has come to ask, and it's just one person, it means that Xu Tian has no intention of taking action.

"I know someone must have ordered you to do this, so I want you to tell me who that person is. I don't want to know anything else," Xu Tian said without hesitation, though a hint of irritation lingered in his heart.

Cheng Wubin seemed like a smooth talker, which he didn't particularly like.

After asking all the questions, he will definitely leave immediately.

"Do you really think I'll tell you?" Cheng Wubin found it somewhat amusing.

Nodding, Xu Tian quickly took out a pile of silver: "I know very well what you want most. As long as you can tell me his identity, I am willing to give you what you want."

Xu Tian felt that relying solely on his investigation would not yield any clues.

Several days have passed, and the clues are likely almost gone. Now, questioning Cheng Wubin might be the best course of action.

"You seem to know me quite well; you must have had someone investigate me, right?" Cheng Wubin suddenly revealed a greedy smile, showing particular satisfaction with Xu Tian.

He likes straightforward people like that.

Immediately, Cheng Wubin suddenly remembered the Prince of Yinglan from a few days ago and shook his head.

Although King Yinglan eventually gave him the silver, he was rather stingy from the beginning, which made him feel uneasy.

"Otherwise, why do you think I would come here?" Xu Tian suddenly found it somewhat amusing and did not deny what Cheng Wubin had just said.

For a moment, Cheng Wubin didn't know what to say to Xu Tian.

“I can tell you who that person is, but my price is very high. If it's not enough, you can just give up.” Although Xu Tian spoke readily, Cheng Wubin still had some doubts.

Fearing that Cheng Wubin wouldn't tell, Xu Tianxie became a little anxious and said, "Just tell me a number now."

He extended his hand and immediately started raising the price on the spot.

Cheng Wubin asked for a large sum of money, and Xu Tian's brows furrowed instantly.

But in order to find out who it was, Xu Tian thought that nothing else mattered, so he directly spent a lot of money to get the person's identity.

“You’ve satisfied me greatly, so I’ll tell you now. The person who sent me was actually King Yinglan.” Cheng Wubin didn’t care what would happen next.

He's capable of anything as long as he can earn money.

As he had guessed, Xu Tian felt somewhat helpless.

After giving the silver to Cheng Wubin, Xu Tian quickly left Wagang Village.

"Since you want it this way, then I won't be polite." The more Xu Tian thought about it, the angrier he became, clenching his fists tightly.

I used to think that a minor punishment would serve as a warning, but now it seems that's impossible.

He had to get revenge.

With that thought in mind, Xu Tian returned to Wagang Village.

In retaliation, Xu Tian paid Cheng Wubin to burn down the residence of the Prince of Yinglan.
