The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 737

Xu Tian felt that Li Yu was quite vicious.

They actually thought they could catch them all in one fell swoop.

However, Xu Tian felt that this guy was completely brainless.

I wonder what the consequences will be for him after he has dealt with himself?

However, since he's prepared to fight Xu Tian to the death, let him do as he pleases.

Xu Tian didn't care. To him, having one more enemy was just having one more person.

What harm could it do to him?

He felt that these opponents were not worthy of being his opponents at all.

He ordered Song Ren.

"Tomorrow, the King will invite Prince Yu to dine at his residence and prepare some singing girls." Just as Songren was about to go out to run errands, Xu Tian called him back.

"The songstress doesn't need to prepare yet."

He thought Li Yu probably wouldn't dare to attend the banquet! Their relationship had already become quite strained.

Songren accepted the order and left.

next day

Xu Tian hosted a banquet just to invite Li Yu, and even sent Matt from his own residence to pick her up.

However, Li Yu was not brought back by his men.

"Your Highness, the guards at Prince Yu's residence say that Your Highness is not feeling well and cannot come."

Xu Tian waved his hand, ordering the guards to leave.

He knew Li Yu wouldn't agree readily; he had already sent assassins twice, but both attempts failed.

He must have known perfectly well that Xu Tian's invitation to dinner this time was definitely not for anything good.

Xu Tian smiled slightly.

"Do you know what illness Prince Yu has?"

He asked another guard who was waiting nearby.

The guard bowed and said, "Your Highness, the guard said that Prince Yu has caught a cold, and it is a chronic illness. If he catches another cold, it will definitely become more serious."

Even his subordinates believed that Prince Yu was deliberately rejecting their prince.

Xu Tian smiled.

"A cold? Perfect. I do know a few ways to treat a cold."

He stood up. "You may all come with me on this trip."

Having said that, he immediately took a carriage and went to Prince Yu's place.

Meanwhile, inside the Jade Prince's mansion.

Li Yu was sitting in his study, his expression solemn.

"Does Xu Tian really think I'm stupid? I've sent assassins to kill him several times, but they failed. That person must be very cunning, to invite me to dinner."

"They just want to poison me at this dinner party. Do they really think I'd actually go? Wouldn't that make me look like a fool?"

His subordinates also said, "Your Highness is indeed very thoughtful. If it weren't for Your Highness's concern that it might be a trap, we really don't know what might have happened if we had gone to their residence."

Li Yu snorted coldly, "I'm not stupid. Xu Tian thinks he's incredibly clever."

"You think I'm guaranteed to attend his banquet? Humph! Just because he's famous doesn't mean I'm stupid."

After he finished speaking, he let out another cold snort.

If it weren't for his feigned illness and refusal to go, we still wouldn't know what Xu Tian had done to him.

That Xu Tian is incredibly cunning; he might even kill him right here in the mansion.

He was able to speak eloquently before the emperor, and in the end, he would surely be able to pin the blame for the prince's death on himself.

So even if it meant going through fire and water, he would absolutely not go.

Just then, a guard outside came to report.

"Your Highness, the Prince requests an audience."

When you heard that Xu Tian had arrived, your expression immediately changed.

"Why is that scoundrel here at this hour? What does he want?"
