The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 330

Xu Tian cursed inwardly. Li Er had lost his own daughter, and now he was being asked to act as a temporary wet nurse. He couldn't believe it and was about to slam his fist on the table.

The other two nannies exchanged a glance.

“Oh dear, Princess, don’t forget that you ran away. Even if Grand Tutor Xu is not good-looking, he is still a man. If Master Xu cooks at night, and this gets to the ears of the Emperor and Empress, I’m afraid Master Xu won’t live past tomorrow.”

Jin Yang was still struggling when she was taken away by four old women who looked like demons.

After seeing Jin Yang leave, Xu Tian simply stood up.

"I am also tired. Let's end the banquet here today."

Everyone immediately knelt on the ground.

"Your subject respectfully sees Your Highness off."

The next morning, everyone had already ridden camels and entered the city of Anxi Protectorate. They saw several carts loaded with large and small packages at the entrance, and the most outrageous thing was that there were even washing basins.

After a day of rest, everyone felt much better, especially Dongfang Tingyun. She remembered that the General's wife had pulled her aside yesterday and shared some tips on dressing up, and she suddenly felt a little awkward.

Jin Yang's eyes widened, and finally he walked to a camel and looked at the handsome young man in blue robes riding on it.

"Are you Master Dongfang?"

Dongfang Tingyun nodded and explained from the side.

"I changed into men's clothing for easier travel and to avoid attracting too much attention."

Soon, the group arrived at the Northern Protectorate. The general of the Northern Protectorate was the former second-rank general Niu Wei, the son of a high-ranking official of the imperial court.

Xu Tian, ​​a Grand Tutor with no real power, was somewhat displeased to be appointed.

General Niu Wei's deputy said from the side, "General, some people have come in outside the gate. Should we let them in?"

Zhang Zhenjie chuckled.

"Let them go outside in the cold wind first, give this Xu guy a taste of his own medicine. Otherwise, he'll really think that the Northern Protectorate is as comfortable as he was in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. Here, we're really fighting."

These people might have their heads chopped off by the Turks' swords at any moment. A scholar coming here to promote education in the west? Isn't that a joke?

The words had barely been spoken for a second when he was punched into the door.

Qin Xian stared at Xu Tian and said, "Master Xu, should we go in and take a look? A sandstorm is about to break out. If we can't get into the Protectorate, we might be in danger."

The words may be rough, but the principle is sound. Xu Tian nodded in agreement, and the group entered the Protectorate together.

The men themselves were fine, but since they had brought Dongfang Tingyun and the princess with them, they had no choice but to come in.

Xu Tian sat down in the chair without a care, and Zhang Zhen's eyes immediately flashed with killing intent.

"Don't you understand the importance of politeness before force, and knocking on the door before entering the host's home?"

Xu Tianzhi sneered and said, "It seems that the military quality of the Protectorate is not very good. I believe that the reason why the Tang Dynasty is so powerful is because it relies on the Anxi Protectorate and the Northern Protectorate to guard the border."

The soldiers here must be the bravest and most skilled warriors, with the highest military prowess. I never imagined that General Zhang Zhen's Protectorate would become your personal territory. Is it because the court has given you too much silver, not enough to satisfy your appetite, that you've turned away this Grand Tutor?"
