The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 960

Most of them were eyeing him with predatory intent.

Some people are just observing, while others have already taken action.

This time, they had no idea who did it.

So what about next time?

Li Zhi may have escaped by chance this time, but he might not be able to escape the next attack.

Therefore, he must now leave this place of trouble.

We'll wait until the time is right before we appear.

Can't those people do anything to him?

When Li Mao learned that Li Zhi was going to leave, he began to instigate among the other princes.

"Father, this is clearly favoritism towards Li Zhi. Not only did they make him Xu Tian's special student, but now they've taken him away because he was injured."

"It seems that Father Emperor has already chosen a crown prince."

"Wasn't this rumor already circulating in the capital? You all knew about it, didn't you?"

The princes sat together, discussing amongst themselves, each harboring their own secrets.

They were discussing Emperor Gaozong's affairs here.

They all wanted the other side to fall.

Xu Tian took Li Zhi away from Chang'an.

The restaurant's business was entirely handed over to a few managers.

Li Zhi was worried that Xu Tian would be in danger if he went with him.

"Master, you shouldn't have volunteered to do this at all. What if we encounter any danger or something happens on the way? What am I supposed to do then?"

Li Zhi felt extremely guilty.

Xu Tian simply smiled.

"Because I am your master, once a teacher, always a teacher."

"Now that we're all out, are you going to let me go back alone?"

Li Zhi naturally knew that this was impossible.

He simply sighed softly.

I think Xu Tian is just too stubborn.

He simply couldn't persuade him.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's find a place to stay first! Whatever important matters we need to discuss, we can talk about them tomorrow."

Li Zhi agreed.

His injuries have almost healed thanks to the medicine powder Xu Tian used.

They checked into a small inn about 20 miles away from Chang'an.

"Would you like two rooms, or just one, sir?"

The shopkeeper's inquiry.

Xu Tian did not hesitate and immediately booked a room.

In order to protect Li Zhi properly, if the two of them were not in the same room, he would not be able to hear anything if Li Zhi was in danger.

Although they have now come out, there is no guarantee that those people will follow them out.

After nightfall, just as Li Zhi lay down, Xu Tian heard rustling sounds outside the door.

Xu Tian instantly drew his sword.

Li Zhi was also awakened.

"Young master, stay here and don't move."

When traveling, in order to support his identity, Xu Tian only addressed Li Zhi as Young Master.

Li Zhi had already drawn his sword and stood behind Xu Tian.

In an instant, the number of dark figures outside increased.

Because this inn is not very big, and there are very few people staying there.

The first man in black rushed in, but Xu Tian showed no mercy, leaping into the air and piercing the man's shoulder with a single sword strike.

The assassin had encountered a formidable foe. After retreating several steps, he quickly charged forward, ready to fight Xu Tian to the death.

As this assassin charged forward, the other assassins followed suit.
