The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 201

He had just breathed a sigh of relief, but then he heard the princess coldly order to others, "Guards, take him away and keep him locked up! Don't stop until he tells the truth!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian was stunned for a moment.

"Wait!" Xu Tian asked hurriedly, "What's the reason this time?"

"You're lying," the princess said in a deep voice.

Having said that, she shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Take them away!"

Seeing that the princess was somewhat angry, the others quickly stepped forward and took Xu Tian away to be imprisoned.

Seeing this, Xu Tian had no choice but to ask loudly again, "How can you be so sure I'm a spy from the Tang Dynasty? I just want to work in the fields. The people in the cities near the border of the Tang Dynasty are starving. I have a good reputation there; you can find out with a simple investigation."

At this moment, a man quickly came forward, bowed to the princess, and hurriedly whispered in her ear, "Princess, this man is indeed a farmer in the Tang Dynasty."

Upon hearing this, the princess's expression changed.

She shouted again, "Stop!"

Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she finally believed him.

The princess trusted their intelligence implicitly, after all, there were indeed their people on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Furthermore, their people have been lying low for years without ever being exposed, so their information is incredibly accurate.

This has enabled them to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune for many years.

The princess then stepped forward and said to the others who were holding Xu Tian captive, "Let go and release him."

After everyone let go, the princess said to Xu Tian, ​​"I am truly sorry for what happened earlier. Please forgive me."

"It's alright," Xu Tian said with a headache. "As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, that's all that matters."

“Then we’ll meet tomorrow,” the princess said with a slight nod.

"Then thank you very much, Princess." Xu Tian bowed.

If he guessed correctly, the person who had just whispered in the princess's ear must have been one of their spies in the Tang Dynasty.

In fact, it is normal for there to be border spies between countries.

As long as it's not during a time of war when military intelligence is being stolen, that's fine.

At night, the princess was in her room.

After much deliberation, she still didn't want to let Xu Tian go like that.

Today, in the fields, Xu Tian can speak so much without even saying a word. Moreover, Xu Tian seems to be very learned and has read countless books.

It is also said that he holds a powerful position in the Tang Dynasty, has provided much assistance to the Tang Dynasty, and is very popular among the people.

Based on just these few points, the princess began to consider keeping Xu Tian.

So, she wrote down the matter in a letter, resting her chin on her hand, and prepared to send it to the king's palace.

The next day, Xu Tian woke up early, preparing to return to the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, people came and went around him, but no one gave him a second glance.

Xu Tian simply grabbed one of the people and asked, "Excuse me, sir, where is the princess?"

“She’s in the camp over there. Just go find her,” the man said.

Xu Tian was confused and couldn't understand, but he saw him raise his finger and point to the tent, so he nodded slightly and went straight there.

At this moment, the princess had just gotten up.
