The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 899

"Father..."

Li Shen wanted to explain himself further.

He was immediately interrupted by Li Er's words.

Li Er, in his political discourse, said, "You two should return to my palace and reflect on your actions. If you cause any more trouble and disgrace the imperial family, I will not let you off lightly."

Li Shen was stunned. He never expected that Li Er would handle the matter in this way.

He didn't know what he had said or done wrong.

After saying this, Li Er told the couple to go back immediately.

Li Shen left the palace, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Unexpectedly, the emperor ruled in this way. The two were dissatisfied and bribed the jailer to poison Xu Tian's food.

The jailer was still somewhat afraid, after all, this person was a prince.

But he still needs this money to pay off his gambling debts.

Otherwise, his wife and children would be taken away by others.

Therefore, he had no choice but to take drastic measures.

"Dinner's ready, dinner's ready." The jailer brought in the food and placed it directly at Xu Tian's cell door.

Xu Tian looked at the bowl of rice.

Although he is already being treated well here.

Unlike others who eat spoiled food, they have meat in their meals every day.

Xu Tian believes he has been wronged.

My desire to get out of here only intensified.

He had to come up with a solution.

He picked up his bowl, ready to eat, when he heard the inmate in the next ward coughing incessantly.

He looked at his bowl of rice, then at the prisoner next to him.

He got up and walked to the boundary.

That person kept staring in his direction.

Xu Tian couldn't bear it, and in the end, out of kindness, he gave it to that person to eat.

That person hadn't eaten such a delicious meal in a long time; before, all they had eaten were swill.

As a result, the person succumbed to the poison on the spot.

Xu Tian was stunned for a second.

He roared directly at the jailer, "How dare you! You actually dare to kill me!"

The jailer just walked in from outside. He originally wanted to check whether Xu Tian was really dead.

But to everyone's surprise, it was the prisoner next to Xu Tian who was not dead.

The jailer received a death order: he had to kill Xu Tian.

"I never expected you to be so lucky."

After he finished speaking, he drew his large knife.

He slashed directly at Xu Tian.

Because of Li Er's special order, he was not handcuffed or shackled.

He simply leaned back and easily dodged the jailer's knife.

Bang!

The jailer simply chopped down the wooden pillar next to him with a single stroke.

His eyes had turned murderous.

His face was also distorted due to his ferocity.

He never expected that someone would want to kill him here.

If that bowl of rice hadn't been given to the person next door, I would have died on the spot if I had eaten it.

He really is incredibly lucky.

The jailer gave him no chance to live.

He missed with his first strike, so he struck a second time.

Xu Tian finally reached his breaking point.

He kicked it.

He then grabbed the knife from the jailer's hand.

Well!

The jailer let out a muffled groan, his head lolled to the side, and he collapsed.

Xu Tian didn't even frown.

Then, the jailers outside, hearing the commotion inside, all rushed in.

"This..." The prison warden was instantly terrified when he saw this scene.

That jailer died by your sword.
