The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 801

Li Er looked somewhat helpless. He frowned and held his forehead with his hand.

After seeing Li Er again, Xu Tian returned to his residence.

He prepared everything, only taking pine nuts with him.

They didn't make this matter public.

Instead, Xu Tian directly switched places with Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian only revealed the matter when the ministers went to court the next day.

Moreover, he needed to use the momentum that Xu Tian had taught him.

Li Chengqian was indeed somewhat weak and incompetent, but when it came to matters of principle, he was indeed someone who could shoulder heavy responsibilities.

At least, he wasn't as cunning and treacherous as Li You.

Xu Tian quickly packed his belongings and left the city with Song Ren.

They didn't even bring any guards.

After entering the post station, the two of them used the identities of ordinary people.

"Are you two staying at the inn or just stopping by for a meal?"

The innkeeper was a middle-aged woman. When she saw Xu Tian, ​​she couldn't help but take a second look.

"Oh! Such handsome young men! Where are you headed?"

The woman raised her eyebrows, and she still looked quite charming.

Song Ren said directly, "We're going to Jingbei!"

The woman was stunned for a moment after hearing that.

"Isn't that area experiencing flooding right now? What are you doing going there? Those people are fleeing, they can't even escape in time, and you're actually heading towards a place like that?"

Isn't that just asking for death?

However, she didn't say the last sentence.

Looking at the two people in front of him, he had no idea who they were.

He didn't know them, and he couldn't say things like that before.

If that person is a high-ranking official, then you absolutely cannot afford to offend them.

into the night.

Xu Tian was awakened by a strange noise.

When he woke up, he found that there were rats in their room.

Xu Tian frowned slightly.

Song Ren had already stood up, drawn his long sword, and stood protectively in front of Xu Tian.

"Your Highness, do not be afraid. They are just a few rats. I will kill them all now."

But just as his sword was about to fall, Xu Tian stopped him.

"Don't kill them yet. These rats are strange. And haven't you noticed? The color of these rats is wrong."

"All mice are black, but these mice are white. Why?"

He knew that only the mice used for poison testing were white; otherwise, why would they be white mice?

Moreover, the rats in front of them looked full of energy.

However, Xu Tian found it very strange that rats would appear in such an inn.

Songren caught one alive.

As for the others, Song Ren kicked them all out directly.

“Once we go out, we will surely die!” Xu Tian asked.

Song Ren nodded, and said confidently, "I've been serving Your Highness for so long, don't you believe in my martial prowess?"

In the end, Xu Tian chose to believe.

He believed that if the rat poison was truly toxic, and Song Ren kicked it out, but the local people caught it, then things would be very bad.

Xu Tian caught the rat, just about to check if it was poisonous.

Several men in black flew in through their window in an instant.

"Kill!" the man in black at the front roared, and the other men in black rushed forward as well.
