The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 641

No matter how Xu Tian threatened or bribed him, the man in black remained unmoved.

He gave Xu Tian a cold glance.

His body was already trembling uncontrollably.

"Kill me!"

Xu Tian didn't get angry; instead, he laughed.

He walked back to the magistrate's side.

He shook his head, looking slightly helpless.

"These assassins these days are really stubborn."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to be smiling in a half-smile.

The county magistrate had always been the one who kept assassins, so he could see through it at a glance.

Xu Tian's demeanor was nothing like that of an assassin; he didn't seem to be confessing at all.

It was more like the assassin had already been recruited, and Xu Tian just wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

The county magistrate frowned deeply.

He turned to look at the assassin.

Just then, Xu Tian suddenly said, "Didn't the magistrate want to invite a doctor? Why don't you hurry up and invite him?"

He growled at the guards under his command.

Then, Songren quickly went down to fetch a doctor.

The magistrate's brow furrowed even more.

He couldn't bear to watch any longer and wanted to call a doctor.

But now I see Xu Tian is so enthusiastic.

He began to have doubts, suspecting that the man in black had already confessed, and that Xu Tian had been acting all along.

The doctor came soon.

The doctor was exhausted and out of breath. He had just arrived when he discovered that the person he was to treat was a criminal, and he immediately became unwilling.

"Hmph! Who do you take me for? Since you've invited me to treat a criminal, I might as well not take the case."

After saying that, he was ready to leave.

Songren stopped him.

Xu Tian slowly walked over. "Doctors are like parents. Aren't all people doctors? How come patients are divided into different levels in the eyes of doctors?"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the doctor was instantly shaken.

But then he added in a political tone, "Although I am a doctor, I also have my principles."

Xu Tian snorted coldly! "Whether you have principles or not, since you are a doctor, you have to treat everyone, no matter who they are!"

The county magistrate looked over.

Xu Tian actually challenged a doctor over a prisoner.

His suspicions grew even stronger.

Suspecting that the man in black had betrayed him, and that Xu Tian already knew everything.

In the end, the doctor couldn't persuade Xu Tian otherwise.

Treat the man in black's injuries.

After examining the man in black, he reported, "Sir, it's just some superficial wounds. A little medicine and some rest will do the trick!"

He looked extremely reluctant, but in the end he handed the medicine to Songren, flicked his sleeves, and left in a huff.

Watching the doctor's departing figure, Xu Tian couldn't help but find it amusing.

Afterwards, Xu Tian deliberately became close to the man in black.

"If you hadn't been so stubborn earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."

"These medications can instantly relieve the pain in your hands when applied, and most importantly, they won't leave any scars."

"I've heard that your mother, though her eyesight isn't very good, is very nimble. If he finds out that you have an injury on your hand, things could get really bad."

When Xu Tian mentioned the black-clad man's elderly mother, the black man's body trembled.

Even the toughest man can't resist a tender side.

He only has himself and his elderly mother at home.

Because he took this job, he always had his life hanging by a thread.

Before each mission, he would visit his mother.

And his mother seemed to know this, as she would always see him off with reluctance.

The thought of his mother made his heart bleed.

He didn't know if he would make it back alive this time.

Thinking of his mother, who was standing at the door, looking on longingly.

But he will never come back.
