The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 969

The General Zhenguo was already injured when he arrived.

His injuries have become more severe because Xu Tian and his group defeated the men in black.

After defeating the man in black, he immediately passed out.

Xu Tian could only help the injured and unconscious General Zhenguo up and put him in the carriage.

"We have no choice but to go to town."

Because of what happened in town before, if they go back now, they will definitely be caught by those people.

For safety reasons, they had to put on makeup again.

"Master, you..."

Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xu Tian's new makeup.

Xu Tian didn't pay much attention to it; they found a medical clinic in politics.

We definitely can't go back to that clinic we used to go to.

No matter how strange their drawings are, people will still recognize them.

After examination and medication, General Zhenguo finally woke up.

He saw that it was Xu Tian sitting by the bed, and he felt a little better.

"Where are we?" he asked.

Xu Tian told him the truth directly.

The general's expression changed, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"If you want to go back, it will take a few more days. I came out to find you, on the orders of His Majesty."

After saying this, the general immediately took out Li Er's secret imperial edict.

"General, Father, what has happened to him?"

Li Zhi, worried about Li Er's safety, quickly came up to inquire.

Xu Tian looked at the secret order, which detailed Li Er's illness.

"It seems someone poisoned His Majesty's food, which is why he is so seriously ill!"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, both Li Zhi and the general were taken aback.

The group quickly deduced from the secret order that someone in the palace was plotting to harm Li Er.

The general also said, "His Majesty discovered this matter, which is why he sent Mo to find you."

"Although there is no evidence yet to prove who did it, this person must have bribed several important figures in the palace."

"Now we must return to Chang'an to investigate this matter thoroughly. Most importantly, His Majesty's illness cannot be delayed any longer."

"Those imperial physicians in the palace are utterly incompetent."

The General who governs the country is filled with rage whenever he mentions those imperial physicians.

If it weren't for the incompetence of those few people, His Majesty's illness would have been cured long ago.

But now, the condition is getting worse and worse.

"What exactly did the imperial physician say?" Xu Tian asked.

The General who protects the country speaks the truth directly.

"They all said that His Majesty's illness is probably incurable."

Xu Tian frowned as he asked about this.

Li Zhi then felt a sudden dizziness and a sharp pain in his heart.

"Father!"

He roared.

Xu Tian went over and helped him up.

"Your Highness, our most important task now is to return to Chang'an and find out what's going on so we can find a way to cure His Majesty."

Li Zhi nodded.

The group rushed back overnight, and the General Zhenguo, disregarding his own injuries, joined them on the long journey.
