The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 869

"Your Highness, the Tenth Prince has arrived! And he has brought a large number of troops with him."

Before long, a guard came to report.

Li Shen has arrived.

Xu Tianxin said, "You came in quite a hurry!"

Li Shen led another raid, but Xu Tian didn't take it seriously.

They simply cleared the road for them to pass freely.

Li Shen missed his target again.

They found nothing in their room.

He was instantly furious.

"Has the Tenth Prince found any evidence?" Xu Tian asked.

Li Shen's brows were filled with a strong killing intent.

He wished he could kill the butler right now.

But this would attract Xu Tian's attention.

He swallowed his anger and left the Prince's mansion.

"Damn it! Absolutely, that Xu Tian is far too cunning."

Li Shen wished he could kill Xu Tian.

Originally, if his plan had succeeded this time, he could have acted first and informed the authorities later.

But to his surprise, the steward of Xu Tianfu's mansion actually played a trick on him.

If it weren't for that old geezer?

How could he be insulted like this time and time again?

"Guards, bring that steward from the Prince's residence to me. I want to see just how capable he is."

Say it!

Li Shen clenched his fist and slammed it onto the table.

He refused to believe that he couldn't kill the butler this time.

With the arrival of the steward from the Prince's mansion.

Li Shen drew his broadsword directly.

The butler was so frightened that he knelt down on one knee.

"Your Highness, spare my life! Please spare this servant this once!"

Li Shen was about to kill the steward to vent his anger, but the steward knelt on the ground, begging for forgiveness.

Li Shen wanted to vent all his anger on him, so how could he let him off so easily?

However, he cannot kill him easily now, otherwise it will arouse Xu Tian's suspicion.

He hasn't completely turned against Xu Tian yet.

If at this point, kill his steward.

Xu Tian then had a reason to seek revenge against him.

So he can't do that right now.

He immediately ordered his men to "drag him out, beat him severely, and then throw him out."

The butler was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.

He was brutally beaten by Li Shen's men.

He lay on the ground, unable to even get up.

Finally, Li Shen's guards simply threw him out.

The butler was beaten so badly that he was covered in injuries and could barely walk.

He dragged his battered body back to the mansion.

Just then, Xu Tian came out of the room.

Seeing the battered and bruised butler, Xu Tian asked in a calm tone, "What happened? How did you get like this?"

The butler attempted to evade the issue, changing the subject.

"Your Highness, I just encountered a rogue in the market. Without asking any questions, he beat me up."

Xu Tian knew perfectly well what was going on.

He had been sending people to follow the housekeeper.

They naturally knew perfectly well what was going on.

He only came out after he knew the housekeeper had returned.

That's why we met by such a coincidence.

The butler wanted to lie, but he couldn't escape.

"Was the steward really beaten by thugs? Then I'll have to ask tomorrow if the Tenth Prince is truly a thug."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the butler was instantly stunned and froze on the spot.

"Your Majesty!"

He looked utterly incredulous.
