The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 193

After seeing that the woman had agreed, Xu Tian didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and left the room, leaving the woman alone to think it over.

The woman in the room, thinking that her family was still in Xu Tian's hands, naturally wouldn't leave. After much deliberation, she got up and struggled out of the room, intending to go directly to inform Prime Minister Liu's people.

After she came out, Xu Tian asked, "So, are you going to inform Prime Minister Liu now?"

The woman nodded and said to Xu Tian, ​​"Yes, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to accompany me."

Even without him saying so, Xu Tianshi would have sent someone to follow the woman to see who was acting as an informant in Ningcheng.

The woman's initiative to bring this up was simply because she wanted Xu Tian to stop doubting her and was afraid that he would harm her family. Everyone knew that Xu Tian was now a powerful and influential figure in Ningcheng, practically holding sway over everything.

“Go ahead,” Xu Tian said.

The woman nodded and left the post station in the dead of night.

It was getting late, and occasionally there was no one in the lobby of the inn. Many of the people staying at the inn had turned off their lights and were preparing to rest.

Therefore, no one would suspect anything if someone went out to inform others during this period.

After thinking it over, the woman left the post station and headed towards a small alley in Ningcheng!

Xu Tian then summoned all the people he had brought from the Tang Dynasty and secretly followed the woman there.

The woman knew every street in Ningcheng very well. She wandered around the city, turning this way and that, but she didn't know which alley she was going to.

Everyone could only follow, and they almost lost her.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the woman arrived at a small wooden cabin, its lights still shining brightly. Standing outside, she raised her hand and knocked three times, then three more times, and finally once, as if giving some kind of coded signal.

A moment later, the door of the wooden house opened, and a man in black stood in the doorway. After looking around and not finding Xu Tian and the others, he immediately asked the woman, "How did things go?"

The woman nodded and said frankly, "I have already seduced him and put on a good show. I'm sure it won't be long before the people in the post station start gossiping about Xu Tian, ​​and the news will quickly spread throughout Ningcheng. I estimate that by then Xu Tian will have already been ruined."

Upon hearing this, the man chuckled and said to the woman, "Well done."

Then Xu Tian's men saw the man return to the wooden house, and then a carrier pigeon flew out of the house, heading straight towards Chang'an.

Seeing that the person had already spread the message, Xu Tian felt that there was no need for the person to stay any longer, and immediately said, "Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people rushed out and surrounded the wooden house.

The man thought he had done a good job, but when he suddenly saw Xu Tian, ​​and the woman showed no surprise at all, it was clear that the two of them were in cahoots.

The man stared at the woman in disbelief, one hand trembling, clearly furious. "Damn it, you filthy bitch, you actually lied to me!"

Enraged, his face contorted with rage, and he was about to step forward and beat the woman when Xu Tian and the others stopped him. Xu Tian looked at the man in front of him and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. After a moment's thought, he finally remembered who the man was.

This man was originally a roadside vendor. Xu Tian had even bought things from him and heard countless kind words from him.

But nowadays... people's hearts are truly unpredictable.

His face was particularly cold and stern. The people behind him immediately surrounded him and took out ropes that they had prepared beforehand, binding him tightly.

"Just leave him here and let's see how he tries to escape. He'll starve and die of thirst in a few more days," Xu Tian said bluntly, his face expressionless.
