The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 669

The news of Xu Tian's return after being injured quickly reached Wang Haiyang's ears.

He was very worried and even went out of the mountain village gate to greet Xu Tian.

"Brother, are you okay?"

He looked worried.

"Brother, I'm so sorry! I've let you down; I've lost the money."

He looked haggard.

The wound on my arm is bleeding continuously.

"If I find Xu De, that utterly depraved bastard, I will tear him to pieces!"

Wang Haiyang was furious.

Even before Xu Tian and the others returned, news of Xu De absconding with the funds and stabbing Xu Tian had already reached Wang Haiyang's ears.

Moreover, all the brothers who guarded the cave had been killed by Xu De.

Because those people all saw him.

"Brother, we found this inside the cave."

Each slip of paper looks like a letter.

Wang Haiyang took it and glanced at it.

"Xu De..."

Then he began to grit his teeth and shout Xu De's name.

I've never experienced being betrayed by the person I trust most.

What does it taste like?

"Brother, it seems that Brother Xu De was sent by the imperial court."

"Their main objective was to wipe out all the mountain bandits."

Wang Haiyang had no choice but to believe Xu Tian's explanation.

In addition, there is this written evidence.

He eventually came to believe it.

Xu De has already betrayed him.

No, he did not betray him.

It is something even more heinous than betrayal.

"I never imagined he was a spy sent by the imperial court. I trusted him so much all along!"

Wang Haiyang tore the paper into pieces in an instant.

His eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"I must find him and get to the bottom of why he did this."

Xu Tian hadn't expected that this scheme to sow discord would go so smoothly!

Wang Haiyang mistook Xu De for a spy, and he needed to make Xu De misunderstand that Wang Haiyang wanted to kill him as soon as he woke up.

Wang Haiyang now harbors deep hatred for Xu De.

He clearly seemed intent on killing Xu De to vent his anger.

However, Xu Tian wouldn't let them get together so easily.

This would be a threat to him.

Therefore, he could only add fuel to the fire in front of Wang Haiyang.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

"If Xu De comes with his men, we might not be able to handle it easily."

"Furthermore, Xu De has been here for so many years and must have accumulated a lot of influence. Perhaps if you join forces with us from the outside, we will be in an even more dangerous situation."

Xu Tian had a cold expression on his face.

Wang Haiyang also thought of this.

However, he still held a sliver of hope for Xu De.

"She's been with me for so many years, and she's one of the people I trust most, but I never imagined she would do something like this today,"

Wang Haiyang still felt some resistance.

He didn't believe Xu De would really betray him, but now all the evidence pointed to Xu De.

He appears to be a complete spy.

Wang Haiyang then thought about the project payment.

Because only a few people know about this.

Although Xu Tian now knows.

But look at the injuries on his body.

It's obviously made by Xu De.

Xu De was placed in a cave by Zhang Yao. When he woke up, he had a splitting headache.

He knocked several times before standing up.

When he came out of the cave, he found that everyone inside had disappeared.

Moreover, the project funds inside have also disappeared.
