The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 760

"Xu Tian has gone too far! What exactly is he trying to do?"

The people around him came up.

"General, I heard that Xu Tian and his men captured a woman at the hunting grounds."

Upon hearing this, the general's expression changed drastically.

"Have you found out who that woman is?"

His subordinates nodded.

"That woman wants to assassinate the emperor? And she keeps saying that her family was destroyed by the emperor."

The general's lips twitched slightly.

"Looks like it's those people, no doubt about it. Get a few men and kill that woman for me."

He must not allow himself to leave any leverage over others.

Chopping the grass does not remove the roots, but the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

If we hadn't been on the same path back then, that little fish...

Xu Tian wouldn't know about these things now.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot let this person live.

His subordinates immediately obeyed and carried out the order.

His adjutant said, "General, Xu Tian has come several times already. You should see him!"

"That Xu Tian is extremely intelligent; we mustn't let him become suspicious."

Now everyone knows that Xu Tian is the second most trusted confidant in the city.

Li Er would completely believe anything he said.

Dai Rongpei didn't dare to say anything.

He then sent his men out to invite Xu Tian in.

He did not meet Xu Tian in his study, but instead went into the main hall.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here so late at night? What brings you here?"

He completely disregarded Xu Tian.

Although Xu Tian is now a prince.

But he himself was also a general with many military achievements.

To him, Xu Tian had no function whatsoever.

He himself was a general with a distinguished military record.

Therefore, he considered himself superior to Xu Tian.

Xu Tianshang said bluntly, "Today at the hunting grounds, we captured a woman who said that her country had been massacred by us."

"I came here to ask the general what exactly happened back then? Didn't that country already hand over the surrender document? Why did they still massacre the city?"

Dai Rong glanced at Xu Tian coldly.

"Your Highness is unaware of what is happening on the battlefield. The so-called surrender document is nothing but a facade. It would be best if Your Highness did not interfere in this matter."

"Otherwise, it won't do you any good."

In the end, he even came across a hint of threat.

Xu Tian was not afraid of any powerful or influential people.

They will not be afraid of any threats.

He looked at the general in front of him.

Despite his numerous military achievements, he was arrogant and disdainful of others.

"I simply want an answer from the general. The emperor is already aware of this matter and has ordered me to investigate it thoroughly. Naturally, I must get to the bottom of it."

"If the general is unwilling to speak, that's fine. However, the truth will eventually come out."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Dai Rongpei snorted coldly.

"What other truth do you want? This is the truth: their king was unwilling to truly surrender to our Great Tang. That's why they suffered the fate of having their city massacred."

All Confucian scholars were unwilling to witness a massacre of a city.

Dai Rongpei also believed that Xu Tian, ​​being a civil official, had no right to concern himself with such matters.

Because they had never been on the battlefield, they knew absolutely nothing about what happened there.

Xu Tian could tell that Dai Rongpei wouldn't tell him anything at all.

Even if I stay here by myself, I shouldn't ask too many questions.

You won't get any answers.

Dai Rongpei said directly, "If you continue to interfere in this matter, don't blame me for being impolite. Perhaps in those people's eyes, you are a prince. In my eyes, you are nothing."
