The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 202

She was having breakfast in her tent when a soldier outside reported, "Princess, that man wants to see you."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

A short while later, the soldier lifted the curtain, and Xu Tian entered the tent. Upon seeing the princess, he asked directly, "Princess, when will you send someone to let me go back?"

Knowing that she couldn't let Xu Tian leave like this, the princess simply said, "My father sent a letter today with an order, so my army probably won't have time to send you back to the Tang Dynasty these next few days."

After thinking for a moment, the male protagonist said to the princess, "In that case, it's alright. I just don't know how much money I came from. I can go back by myself."

"Are you going back alone?" The princess frowned, shook her head, and advised Xu Tian, ​​"You must think this through carefully. There are enemies all the way to the border of the Tang Dynasty. What if you are trapped by them?"

"Thieves?" Xu Tian frowned slightly. "Is there really a kidnapper here?"

He had heard of these kidnappers before, but the Tang Dynasty had border troops, and there were troops here as well, so how could there still be thieves around?

Seeing that he didn't believe her, the princess explained, "What I said is true. There are often kidnappers along a long stretch of this road, and they always appear and disappear mysteriously. The armies of both countries have been trying to catch them for many years but have not been able to. If you want to return to the Tang Dynasty alone, you must be very careful."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian thought about it seriously.

He wasn't in a hurry to return to the Tang Dynasty, and besides, if there really were thieves, it would be truly frustrating to be caught.

Xu Tian then agreed, "Alright... I can return to the Tang Dynasty in a few days."

The princess smiled at this moment.

Everything she said was true. If Xu Tian didn't believe her and wanted to investigate, he would naturally find the same result.

Otherwise, how could she have kept Xu Tian?

During this time, she wanted to see how well Xu Tian had learned.

Three days passed in a flash. During this time, Xu Tian spent a long time in the farmland and helped them a lot.

It must be said that although the people of this country seem to be proficient in farming, their farming techniques are actually not very advanced.

Moreover, this country was clearly a country in the Central Plains, but it is unknown when it split apart, or perhaps it was too small and no one cared for it for thousands of years.

In short, Xu Tian racked his brains but couldn't find any information about this country.

But over the past few days, he has managed to find out some things.

This country was called Cang State, which originated roughly during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.

He couldn't get any answers from the rest, because he simply couldn't understand what the people in this country were saying.

During this period, Xu Tian's every move was under the princess's watchful eye.

Xu Tian found the princess that day and asked directly, "Princess, when will you let me return to the Tang Dynasty?"

The princess had anticipated that Xu Tian would not be able to remain seated. She put down the letter sent by the King of Cang and said to him, "Xu Tian, ​​I have heard that you are highly learned and hold a high position of power in the Tang Dynasty. Is that true?"

Xu Tian's heart skipped a beat. Seeing her certain expression, he knew that she had had someone investigate him again.

Having learned from his previous experience in the Western Regions, he lied without changing his expression: "I'm not particularly learned, I've just read a few more books than others. As for high position and power, that's a lie. I'm just an ordinary farmer, how could I have high position and power? If I were really as powerful as you say, I would have been taken back to Ningcheng by the Tang Dynasty's border army by today."

Upon hearing this, the princess nodded slightly.

What he said makes a lot of sense.

But her purpose was never to coerce the Tang Dynasty.

With bright, sparkling eyes, she smiled at Xu Tian and said, "Would you be willing to stay and serve as the Prime Minister of Da Cang Kingdom? Or perhaps in some other high-ranking position? If you are willing to stay, we will certainly reward you handsomely and treat you well."

Xu Tian was stunned when he heard this.
