The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 399

Moreover, Hou Wen merely gritted his teeth, pulled on the reins, and said nothing. When the group reached the Yuezhi tribe, a sudden heavy snowfall occurred.

The north wind swept across the ground, and the withered grass clinging to the ground was suddenly blown about by the wind, causing everyone to lose their way for a moment.

Hou Wen knew that someone was coming to assassinate them, so he immediately said, "Everyone, get off your horses and lie down on the ground to wait for this gust of wind. Once the snow passes, it doesn't matter if you lose your horses. The county government office is not far from here. Someone will definitely come to meet us."

Soon Hou Wen's men were all leaving the border, and Duan Lun felt his body stiffen and he couldn't move at all. He immediately realized that he had been poisoned.

Duan Hong pointed at Hou Wen ahead and said, "You actually sent people to ambush here. Aren't you afraid something will happen to your sister in the Duan family?"

Hou Wen ignored him and lay motionless on the ground, while the men Duan brought were all poisoned by the needles and soon collapsed to the ground with thuds.

At that moment, the Ban Yi Sect members rushed up and in the blink of an eye, Duan Hong's mount was killed with a single slash, its head falling to the ground. Hou Wen saw a black figure flash by, and when he turned to look, he saw that all the members of the Duan family had been drugged and knocked unconscious, and even the horse was dead.

They were shocked. It seemed that they should never offend Xu Tian again, as he actually had such a mysterious team under his command.

However, what he was worried about now was not that, but that after this batch of silver was lost in Duan Hong's hands, the kid would definitely be severely punished.

When Hou Wen thought of this, he felt that he had vented his anger for his sister.

Meanwhile, Dieyi followed the previous treasure route back into the cave. There she saw a boy emerge from the cave, carrying a large bear head.

Dieyi was taken aback when she saw the young man, then said with a delighted expression, "Left Protector, you've come too."

The Left Protector, whose face was originally frosty, nodded politely upon seeing Dieyi and said, "I have already killed the brown bear in this cave. As for the mechanism, I have destroyed it. You can take the silver and leave."

Dieyi nodded and, like a little bird, happily flew into the cave. Behind him, his brothers from Banyi School quickly moved the silver to an oxcart waiting outside the cave entrance.

Seeing that Dieyi had actually boarded the oxcart, the left protector's lips twitched, and he said, "Miss Dieyi, when I left the sect, the right protector specifically asked me to tell you to go back soon, because the young sect leader is waiting for you."

The young master is currently cultivating the highest level of inner power in the ice pool. But he can't do without Miss Dieyi!

The day before yesterday, after the young sect leader's internal energy went astray, he was still calling out the girl's name.

Dieyi immediately became somewhat displeased, stomped her foot and said, "It's just a broken mental cultivation technique, is he so dependent on me? He still wants me to perform acupuncture to disperse his true energy."

Honestly, we haven't seen each other for over ten years, and there wasn't even a romantic proposal ceremony.

The princess herself said that nowadays girls don't distinguish between wives and concubines anymore; as long as the man is sincere, that's enough. Besides, the wedding must include a wedding dress, ring, and flowers.

The Left Protector is responsible for the martial arts; if anyone comes to attack, the Left Protector will be the first to meet the enemy, while the Right Protector is like the Minister of Rites in the Tang Dynasty.

Most of them are responsible for hosting events related to etiquette and daily life.

For a moment, the Left Protector was taken aback by the words of the girl in butterfly clothes, and asked, "What is a diamond ring?"

Dieyi immediately said, "A diamond ring is made of a type of acrylic glass called diamond, cut into a small piece and set in the ring. Moreover, Princess Jinyang said that diamonds are forever, and a diamond can last forever. It symbolizes the young master's love for me."

After saying this, Dieyi felt a little embarrassed. She then waved her hand and said, "I'll take this silver back first and tell the young master that I'll be back soon."
