The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1267

Upon seeing Cheng Wubin arrive, Xu Tian was no longer too worried.

He hadn't expected Cheng Wubin to come looking for him so soon. He hadn't anticipated it would take another two or three days.

Cheng Wubin noticed Xu Tian was in danger and coldly signaled to his men behind him. His men understood and quickly dealt with the servants.

"Have you thought it through?" Xu Tian approached Cheng Wubin.

With a cold snort, Cheng Wubin had not forgotten the scene just now: "It seems I arrived at the wrong time, just in time to witness the Marquis's predicament."

After saying that, Cheng Wubin's face was full of smugness.

Xu Tian didn't feel too embarrassed: "No matter what, I am a marquis, and I am going against the King of Yinglan. It is normal for many ministers to dislike me."

Fortunately, many ministers were on his side.

Cheng Wubin gently patted Xu Tian, ​​his heart filled with other emotions.

After a long while, Cheng Wubin decided to continue talking to Xu Tian, ​​"To be honest, when you talked to me like that the other day, I thought you had immense power."

He almost regretted coming here.

Unable to contain himself, Xu Tian burst into laughter, seemingly looking somewhere. "No matter what, I'm just a marquis. You're overthinking it."

The key issue is that there are many things he is currently unable to do.

If they act suddenly, King Yinglan will likely realize something is wrong immediately.

"Then is there any need for me to continue cooperating with you? I'm starting to get scared." Cheng Wubin is now genuinely considering leaving.

But since he's already here, let's ask Xu Tian what he thinks first.

If Xu Tian's conditions satisfy him, he is willing to lower his requirements.

"Back then, I actually promised you that I would definitely do as you asked. As long as you were willing to be subdued by me, I would do everything in my power to protect you." Xu Tian patted his chest and made a serious promise.

He doesn't make promises easily.

Seeing how serious Xu Tian was, Cheng Wubin instantly abandoned any thought of leaving.

Xu Tian extended his hand, his face still smiling. "You can still think it over carefully now. I can give you some more time."

He was afraid that Cheng Wubin would regret it later and then go to help King Yinglan.

"There's no need to think about it anymore. I already have my own ideas." Having made up his mind, Cheng Wubin quickly spoke to Xu Tian.

If he doesn't speak up soon, he might give up on the idea later.

Let's not let that happen.

"Really?" Xu Tian still wanted to confirm it.

Nodding, Cheng Wubin continued to approach, "I will never submit to you. I am only helping you now."

Before Xu Tian could speak, Cheng Wubin quickly added, "If I find out that you are not capable of protecting us, I will leave immediately. You must keep our promise."

Xu Tian found it somewhat amusing that Cheng Wubin spoke so seriously.

When Xu Tian first met Cheng Wubin, he just thought of him as a bandit and didn't have any particular thoughts about him. It was only later that he decided to subdue him.

Looking back now, Cheng Wubin's personality seems quite good.
