The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 776

Dai Rongpei now shows no respect whatsoever even when looking at Li Er.

Upon hearing Dai Rongpei's words, Claire immediately took a few steps forward.

Pointing at Dai Rongpei, he cursed, "Dai Rongpei, you're nothing but a beast, you don't deserve to be human. How could you be so cruel?"

"What did my family do to offend you? Why are you so determined to kill them?"

"You even slaughtered all my people, you didn't even spare a single living creature in my country. Dai Rongpei, are you even human? We already handed over the surrender document back then!"

Despite hearing Claire's accusations, Dai Rongpei showed no remorse whatsoever.

He simply said, "So what if it is me? What can you do to me? It's just killing a few people. I am a general. Killing is simply my duty."

He's just given up now, because knowing these things could land him in jail for life, or even get him beheaded.

So he could only make one last desperate attempt.

He can't be arrested; he has to fight for himself.

With so many Dai family soldiers, how could he be afraid of these guards? This isn't Chang'an City.

When Claire heard what Dai Rongpei said, she became excited.

They already knew it was this person who did it.

I never expected him to become so arrogant.

Even in front of Li Er, he showed no remorse whatsoever.

Claire immediately drew her sword and charged forward, wanting to avenge her family.

“Dai Rongpei, you traitorous villain, I will kill you to avenge my people.”

She yelled as she charged toward Dai Rongpei.

Dai Rongpei snorted coldly, not taking Claire seriously at all.

He slapped her across the face.

Claire was instantly sent flying a great distance.

Xu Tian immediately ordered the guards, "Arrest Dai Rongpei."

Dai Rongpei resisted arrest and shouted loudly.

"You think you can capture me? Don't even think about it. I have devoted myself to the court and the people. I never expected to end up like this. Hahahaha."

"This general is not convinced."

Having said that, he grabbed his broadsword and led the Dai family army out of the enemy lines.

Xu Tian did not expect that Dai Rongpei would dare to run away.

He could be wanted for doing this.

At that time, even a celestial being wouldn't be able to save him.

Xu Tian led his men in pursuit, pushing them out of the camp.

But as soon as they chased after her, Dai Rongpei disappeared from sight.

Xu Tian frowned.

Songren brought people back.

"Your Highness, it seems that Dai Rongpei was well-prepared, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to escape so quickly. Moreover, their route seems to have been planned in advance."

Xu Tian had already figured it out.

He said nothing and led his men back to report.

Li Er was furious. He never expected that his general would dare to rebel.

And after all these years, he still doesn't know anything about this.

If it weren't for that one hunting trip, he probably would have remained completely in the dark.

"Dai Rongpei, Dai Rongpei, you really are incredibly audacious. I will certainly not tolerate this."

He will absolutely not let Dai Rongpei off the hook.

If that's the case, how will he rule the world in the future?

Xu Tian was unaware that Dai Rongpei dared to arrest him on the spot.

What he feared was that Dai Rongpei might turn the tables and kill him.

Because they are not currently in Chang'an.

If they were to face a counterattack from Dai Rongpei, they would likely be too preoccupied to care about anything else.
