The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 959

After learning his lesson, Cao Wang rested and recuperated at home.

He was beaten with a full 50 strokes of the cane, leaving him completely exhausted.

They simply couldn't attend to Ma Wenyu.

After being beaten 20 times, Ma Wenyu dared not return to the Cao family and was simply left on the street.

Xu Tian could see Ma Wenyu from the inn, but he completely ignored him.

Suddenly, the waiter outside rushed in.

"Boss, something bad has happened! Someone from the Ninth Prince's men just came to report that the Ninth Prince is injured."

Upon hearing the news, Xu Tian even forgot to take off his apron and went straight to Li Zhi's house.

"What exactly is going on?"

Before they even reached your room, Xu Tian asked the guards beside Li Zhi.

Xu Tian learned after asking around that someone had attempted to assassinate him in the middle of the night.

It's obvious that this is because of the current battle for the throne.

All the princes wanted to become the ultimate leader.

They didn't just want to become the crown prince; they wanted to ascend to the highest position.

Li Zhi had no interest in the throne at all.

But the princes would never let him go.

Because Cao Wang and his group spread rumors, the plan to carry out this matter was able to be implemented earlier.

Xu Tian stood by Li Zhi's bedside, his feelings quite complicated.

Just then, Li Er came incognito to visit his son.

Xu Tian was about to bow when Li Er stopped him.

"There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to be so polite."

He did not expect that Li Zhi would be injured repeatedly.

And every time he got injured, it was because of one thing.

Li Er was well aware of this as well.

Now, the princes are openly and secretly vying for the throne, and each of them has already harbored ambitions to seize it.

Li Er then stood with his hands behind his back and sighed, "Chang'an is in dire straits now, and it is not suitable for Li Zhi to live here at all. He has no cunning at all, and staying here will only cause him to get hurt."

"Perhaps those people won't even spare his life."

"If it weren't for the people I sent arriving a step earlier, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to save him this time."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tian quickly came up with a clever way to escape unscathed.

"If Your Majesty does not wish Li Zhi to stay here, that is acceptable. Li Zhi can travel the world under the pretext of completing his studies."

Li Er heard Xu Tian's words.

I immediately realized that this made sense.

Now is the time when they are fighting fiercely, and it would be a good time to send Li Zhi away.

This undoubtedly lowers those people's guard.

Li Zhi suddenly made a slight movement.

Xu Tian quickly stepped forward to check.

"This time, the injury is not serious, just some external wounds. However, the Ninth Prince has always been delicate and not very strong, unlike others who are so robust."

"If we can really take him away from Chang'an, he can focus on physical training."

Li Er agreed without hesitation, because he knew that this was the best outcome for Li Zhi. If Li Zhi continued to stay by his side in Chang'an, he would eventually be killed by those people.

He couldn't selfishly keep Li Zhi by his side any longer.

"Xu Tian, ​​listen to my command."

Xu Tian immediately knelt down.

"Xu Tian, ​​obey my command."

"Since you are the Ninth Prince's teacher, I hereby grant you permission to accompany the Ninth Prince on his journey through the martial world, to teach him everything under heaven. Set off immediately, and do not fail to do so!"

Xu Tian immediately accepted the order.

He was perfectly aware that if Li Zhi continued to stay in Chang'an, his life would be in danger.

Those princes had long been itching to make their move.
