The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 889

If it weren't for the murderous aura that flashed in the Tenth Prince's wife's eyes just now, perhaps no one would ever have known that she was such a ruthless person.

In order to protect his family, Cheng Nianhua ultimately had to compromise and agree to let Li Shen's wife poison Xu Tian's food.

His hand trembled as he took the bottle, and even the corners of his mouth were shaking.

What kind of person is Xu Tian? He is the smartest person in the hearts of all Tang people.

Even their own servants were perfectly aware of this.

Asking him to kill Xu Tian now would be like sending an egg to its death.

But he had no choice; if he didn't agree to this wicked woman's demands, his family would be killed by her.

He couldn't abandon his family.

Waiting for Cheng Nianhua to return.

Xu Tian discussed with Song Ren, "You go back and keep an eye on him, I'll stay here."

Songren was worried. "It's too dangerous for the prince to stay here alone."

Xu Tian finally couldn't refuse Song Ren and had to agree.

"Okay, then we'll both stay here."

Afterwards, the two of them went outside and walked around.

There are many guards in the prince's residence.

Even the patrolling soldiers came and went in several waves.

Xu Tian and his group couldn't easily get in.

Moreover, if the search continues without any leads, Cheng Nianhua's family will be impossible to find.

By the time they find the person, their identities may already be exposed.

If we alert them, it will only put Cheng Nianhua's family in greater danger.

While lamenting how many people wanted to kill him, Xu Tian was also thinking of ways to get into the Tenth Prince's residence to find out where Cheng Nianhua's family was being held.

"How about I go in and investigate?" Songren volunteered.

His martial arts skills are in no way inferior to Xu Tian's.

If you can get in and overcome all the difficulties, it won't be a problem.

Xu Tian finally agreed, "Ah, be careful."

Song Ren nodded.

He then leaped up and went inside.

Xu Tian was always on a big tree outside the courtyard wall.

Even with people coming and going, no one can see him.

This place is perfect for concealing his figure.

The pine nuts came out quickly.

The whole thing took less than an hour.

"Your Highness, your subordinates have discovered that Cheng Nianhua's family members are being held in the woodshed."

Songren bowed and reported.

After receiving the news, Xu Tian circled around the area.

The prince's residence was heavily guarded, making it impossible to enter.

They waited until late into the night.

I haven't found a good opportunity either.

Even they could go in and rescue people.

The target is too large, and it's impossible to bring the people inside out.

Therefore, he could only think of one best solution.

They easily sent the people inside out.

Just as dawn was breaking, they heard someone whispering nearby.

You are two people, and you both walked over.

"Why are there still so many people here at this hour?"

The market was bustling with people, and Xu Tian and his companion mingled in as well.

It was discovered that Li Shen's wife was recruiting a large number of people at night.

Moreover, they only recruit men who are physically strong.

Xu Tian suspected that they wanted to recruit soldiers.

So, the two of them mingled among them.

It was taken into the prince's residence.

"Tonight, you will all stay here. Remember, no one is allowed to wander off without permission."
