The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 160

There was a tunnel inside the cave, which was extremely dark. Fortunately, the adjutant led the way, and by daybreak they were far from the Western Regions.

Everyone turned to look at the faint outline of the city gate of the Western Regions Kingdom in the distance, and a smile appeared on their faces.

The robber collapsed to the ground, shouting, "Finally, we're out of that hellhole!"

"By the way, adjutant, have you made arrangements for the rest of the Tang people to leave the Western Regions? How is A-Jie doing now?" Xu Tian asked at this moment.

The adjutant nodded. "Grand Tutor, rest assured, I have made all the arrangements. They left in disguise the day before yesterday. Ah Jie was seriously injured, but if nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to arrive at the military base for treatment tomorrow."

"That's good." Xu Tian was relieved.

The second prince frowned slightly. "Just how many Tang Dynasty people are imprisoned in this Western Regions kingdom?"

“The entire prison was basically full of people from the Tang Dynasty,” Xu Tian replied. “Moreover, they were beaten and tortured, and many of them came out barely alive.”

The second prince was startled upon hearing this.

He originally thought that the Western Regions Kingdom had a bad relationship with the Tang Dynasty, but that was all. Even if there were rumors that the Western Regions Kingdom imprisoned Tang people without cause, he thought it must be because his own people were doing something improper abroad. He never expected that they would imprison so many Han people and even abuse them!

The Great Tang Dynasty did not treat the people of the Western Regions who acted as accomplices to evil within its borders in this way!

"I never imagined that the ruler of this Western Regions kingdom would actually be so determined to provoke my Great Tang!" the Second Prince roared.

"Let's go back first," Xu Tian said.

The group then set off and returned to the military camp.

In the military camp, there were already many Tang Dynasty people dressed in ordinary civilian clothes receiving medical treatment.

Ah Jie's injury has not healed yet; he walks with a limp and his face is extremely pale.

He originally intended to just take a stroll outside, but he spotted Xu Tianyi and his group from afar.

His face lit up with joy, and he quickly shouted to those around him, "They're back!"

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound and, sure enough, saw a group of people who looked travel-worn.

Thus, they are about to reunite. However, some problems have arisen on Yan Ji's side.

Although Yan Ji and the King of the Western Regions had already been married, she disliked the King of the Western Regions very much. On the day she helped Xu Tian, ​​she was almost forced to take advantage of the King of the Western Regions. If the King of the Western Regions hadn't gotten drunk in the end, she probably would have collapsed long ago.

Early in the morning, soldiers came to see him.

Upon hearing the sound, the King of the Western Regions opened his eyes, put on his outer robe, and walked outside.

When he reached the door, he was already dressed in his outer robe. Upon seeing the soldiers, he asked them directly, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry so early in the morning?"

The soldier trembled all over when he saw the King of the Western Regions, fearing that the king might accidentally draw his sword and kill him.

He stammered to the King of the Western Regions, "Your...Your Majesty, the...the Second Prince of the Tang Dynasty has been kidnapped from the prison..."

The King of the Western Regions, still feeling drowsy from drinking too much the day before, suddenly sharpened his gaze upon hearing the soldier's words. He stared intently at the soldier and roared, "What kind of work are these jailers doing? How could they allow another prison break?!"

Upon seeing that the King of the Western Regions was angry, the soldier dared not continue speaking and immediately kowtowed to the ground.
