The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 778

"The child who has come to our residence now is the young son of Dai Rongpei."

Li Zhi was initially taken aback, but quickly came to terms with it.

"Although Dai Rong deserves to die, the child is innocent. He doesn't understand anything, and Master did nothing wrong."

Xu Tian glanced at Li Zhi, his heart filled with goodwill.

Although such a mindset cannot survive in this imperial city.

But if one day he becomes a monarch.

He must be a wise ruler.

Xu Tian nodded and didn't say anything more.

After a long while, he inquired about Li Zhi's studies.

And all the things that happened at home during the days you were gone.

Li Zhi told him everything, big and small, without missing a single detail.

Xu Tian also had to rush to approve official documents, and Li Zhi couldn't help him either.

He bid farewell to Xu Tian and went out of the mansion to see the suffering of the people on the street.

He would always record what happened on the street.

She planned to tell Li Er when she returned to the palace.

"Boss, look! That's the Ninth Prince."

In a corner of the market, several men poked their heads out.

Then, they all nodded.

They followed Li Zhi.

No one knew that these people were all remnants of Dai Rongpei's faction.

They followed Li Zhi to a less crowded area.

They knocked him unconscious and took him away.

A guard outside brought in a letter.

Xu Tian frowned first, because there was a character "Dai" written on it.

There aren't many people with the surname Dai here.

He couldn't think of anyone else besides Dai Rongpei.

He was in his study reviewing official documents and had no idea what was happening outside.

He paused for a moment, then opened the letter.

Upon seeing the contents of the letter, he was horrified.

Upon learning that Li Zhi had been taken away by Dai Rongpei, he immediately summoned his guards.

"Has the Ninth Prince returned after going out?"

The guards were unaware.

Xu Tian quickly ordered someone to inquire.

The person who inquired returned and reported that the person had not come back since leaving.

Xu Tian sat down in the chair immediately.

Dai Rongpei's letter clearly stated that he requested a child exchange.

He offered his ninth son in exchange for his own.

Xu Tian immediately entered the palace.

He reported this matter to Li Er.

Moreover, Xu Tian immediately took on the task.

“The Ninth Prince had an accident in my residence, and I also bear responsibility for this matter. I beg Your Majesty to grant me permission to bring the Ninth Prince back.”

Xu Tian knew that Dai Rongpei was shameless.

Even if they bring their children with them to the exchange.

Dai Rongpei may not actually release the Ninth Prince.

Therefore, he had to be prepared in advance.

Li Zhi was unharmed.

Li Er agreed immediately.

Although he was worried about Li Zhi, he showed no sign of concern on his face.

After all, he was the ruler of a country, and he had many sons, whom he loved, but they were different from ordinary people.

Xu Tian immediately accepted the order and went out with the men Li Er had given him.

Take Dai Xiang'an with you to the meeting.

But once they arrived at their destination, Xu Tian left everyone there.

Dai Rongpei had already sent him alone long ago.

It is said that if he had any guards with him, Dai Rongpei would have killed Li Zhi.

Xu Tian had no choice but to leave everyone outside for Li Zhi's safety.

He carried it alone and went to An.
