The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 961

Inside the inn, a flurry of swordplay and divine intervention erupted.

Xu Tian showed no mercy and killed the assassin who rushed up with a single sword strike.

Then several more rushed up.

After a chaotic battle, Xu Tian stood with his hands behind his back.

He stood right in front of the assassin.

He had killed all the other assassins, leaving only one alive.

"Tell me, who sent you?"

Xu Tian held the hilt of his sword, the tip pointing at a person opposite him.

"You don't want to talk, do you? If you don't want to talk, I'll tie you up right now and subject you to the torture of being sliced ​​to death."

He had eighteen ways to deal with these assassins.

Looking at Xu Tianqu, he smiled slightly. There was no way he could say who sent him.

Just as they were about to interrogate him again and again, the assassin bit his tongue and committed suicide.

Even if he were to die, he would not reveal a single piece of information.

"There's not a single clue about these people. We can't find them at all. Who sent them?"

Xu Tian seemed somewhat conflicted.

His brow furrowed slightly.

Even the last assassin had already committed suicide.

They have vanished without a trace as to these assassins.

Just then, the shopkeeper walked over timidly.

"What on earth is going on? We've never had any assassins here before. Who are you people?"

Although his inn didn't suffer much damage, moving tables would cost money.

Now that they've killed all those people, who are they going to ask for money from? Of course, they can only ask them.

Xu Tian knew what the shopkeeper wanted to say, so he simply tossed him a gold ingot.

"Is this enough?"

The shopkeeper was overjoyed at the sight, exclaiming, "That's enough, that's enough!"

You should know that he could even buy one of his inns, let alone a few tables and chairs.

These guys are obviously rich young masters.

They spend money like water!

However, he always prefers such generous young men.

It's much better than those who need to waste their breath talking to others.

The shopkeeper took the silver without saying a word and left.

Before leaving, he reminded them, "These people have appeared here, and it's obvious they're targeting you. You should be careful tonight."

"It's best not to disturb other guests' rest."

Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, Xu Tian couldn't help but frown.

Just as he was about to return to his room, he suddenly noticed a long shadow outside.

Xu Tian cautiously walked out.

But the figure suddenly disappeared.

Xu Tian suspected that someone was following them.

Early the next morning.

Xu Tiantian got up before dawn.

He put on a simple makeup look for himself.

Then he added a beard.

When Li Zhi saw Xu Tian, ​​he didn't recognize him for a moment.

"Master, why are you dressed like this? I almost didn't recognize you!"

Xu Tian chuckled softly and said, "Last night I suspected someone was following us, so we need to change our makeup and shake them off when we go out today."

Because of the assassination attempt that night, Xu Tian became especially cautious.

He also gave Li Zhi a simple makeup look, just enough so that he wouldn't be easily recognized.

After tidying up briefly, they headed outside.

"As far as I know, there is a county ahead called Xiang County. It is about 30 kilometers away from here. I estimate we can get there before 11 PM."

Li Zhi nodded.

He seemed very happy throughout the journey.
