The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 148

The subordinate immediately realized what was happening. Taking advantage of the chaos, he pretended to be pushed and fell down, quickly stuffed the wad of cloth into his clothes, and then left gracefully.

Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief after he left.

The jailer then took out a long knife and stabbed the mad dog to death with one blow. In the end, the mad dog could only howl a few times on the ground before finally lying still.

Xu Tian thought to himself: Heaven is helping people. Fortunately, this Western Regions country does not have a secret passage for escorting prisoners to the palace, and its system is not as perfect as that of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have encountered such a scene.

At this moment, the jailer pulled Xu Tian along and continued towards the palace.

Inside the palace, the King of the Western Regions, who had heard the news, had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Empress Xu, he immediately asked, "What military secrets about the Tang Dynasty do you have to tell me?"

"We need to withdraw our defenses in the southwest region," Xu Tian said.

The southwest region is close to the Western Regions, and in recent years, the deployment of troops in the southwest has become increasingly important.

Xu Tian suddenly uttered these words, which the King of the Western Regions initially did not believe.

He sat in his chair, his face cold, and waved his hand, saying, "Take him away and keep him locked up!"

The jailer had been hoping to earn merit, but Xu Tian's words came out like a joke.

He glared at Xu Tian with resentment, feeling agitated.

Xu Tian, ​​however, spoke calmly: "I am Grand Tutor Xu of the Great Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty, you need not doubt the authenticity of this information. I can assure you that the southwestern region is indeed being withdrawn. The Great Tang's military strength is gradually becoming insufficient, and all of them have been transferred to the border of the Great Tang Dynasty near the Western Regions."

"Really?" the King of the Western Regions asked.

"Your Majesty may go and investigate," Xu Tian said without changing his expression.

Actually, it's all fake.

How could he possibly tell him real military secrets?

During that period of teaching, Xu Tian heard the eldest prince say that the southwest region was about to change its defenses and troops. It was only a few days away. If the King of the Western Regions sent people to investigate, they would only see the original troops retreating.

During this period, the new general will lead his troops to the garrison.

As for the general, he was none other than the second prince, who was skilled in military strategy.

Meanwhile, the King of the Western Regions had already decided to send someone to the southwest to take a look.

If he were to withdraw most of his troops, he would immediately invade the Tang Dynasty on that day. But if not... the Western Regions King's eyes revealed a murderous intent.

Then he would tear Xu Tian apart with five horses!

"Do you know the crime of deceiving the emperor?" the King of the Western Regions asked, his eyes narrowed.

Xu Tian nodded. "If the situation is not true, then it is up to Your Majesty to decide. However... Your Majesty, I have been extremely hungry these past few days. Could you please provide me with a sumptuous meal? After that, I can say more."

When he said his last words, Xu Tian gave a wry smile that was both unmistakable and perfectly timed.

After pondering for a long time, the King of the Western Regions nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Tian became certain that the King of the Western Regions would not kill him again.

This is because the King of the Western Regions is eager to annex the Tang Dynasty and will certainly not let Xu Tian, ​​who is carrying important information about the Tang Dynasty, go.

If the King of the Western Regions had realized he had been deceived sooner, Xu Tian would probably have been released from prison long ago!
