The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 970

"If we had known this would happen, we shouldn't have left Chang'an."

Li Zhi felt extremely guilty.

He believed that if he hadn't left Chang'an, this wouldn't have happened.

Even if something like this happens, they're still in Chang'an.

Xu Tian looked at Li Zhi, and after a long while, he said, "Ninth Prince, don't worry! We will definitely return to Chang'an as soon as possible, and His Majesty will be fine."

Li Zhi always believed in Xu Tian's abilities, and he knew that Xu Tian would be able to cure his father after returning.

But what could they do? Their most important task now was to get back to Chang'an.

If those people had already made preparations, then their return to Chang'an would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Perhaps those people had already set up an ambush, waiting for them to return, and then caught them like turtles in a jar.

The General Zhenguo told them, "I have been pursued and killed all the way here, and the assassins have appeared continuously."

"This humble general suspects that these assassins are connected to those who are causing trouble in Chang'an City."

Even if it weren't said, they already knew the truth.

Otherwise, why would those people try to stop it? Why did the General Zhenguo spread this information?

They traveled through the night and eventually returned to Chang'an within three days.

At the south gate, their carriage was immediately stopped.

The first person to emerge from the carriage was the General Zhenguo, who immediately produced his token.

"Open the door for us right now!"

After he finished speaking, those people didn't make a sound.

The general guarding the city glanced at the General Who Protects the Nation.

They were originally going to stop them, because orders had been given that no one was allowed to let them into the city.

Upon seeing this, the General Zhenguo immediately drew his long sword and held it to the neck of the city guard.

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now."

The defending generals were naturally afraid, as they all knew exactly what kind of person the general was.

If they really try their best to stop it, then it will truly become a pile of bones.

Just then, Li Zhi stepped out of the carriage.

After receiving Li Zhi at the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city all knelt down to pay their respects.

Li Zhi simply ordered them to open the city gates and let them in.

The city's defenders had no choice but to open the city gates.

The General of the State marched straight in and entered the imperial city.

He entered the palace, but was stopped by two of our soldiers with their swords.

Once inside the main category, he had already removed his sword.

"You must let this general in immediately, this general wants the Sword Saint to ascend."

Just as the two soldiers were caught in a dilemma, Li Mao appeared.

Upon learning that the General of the State wanted to see Li Er, he swaggered over and said directly, "Father is seriously ill and does not wish to see anyone. General, please return!"

When Li Mao saw the General Zhenguo, he was stunned for a moment, not expecting that this guy would be so lucky.

So many assassins were sent out, yet they managed to catch him and bring him back safe and sound.

Seeing his strong and powerful appearance, he didn't even have a single injury.

Li Mao was even more furious.

Because he was ordered to take care of Li Er, he had the right to keep anyone who came to pay their respects out.

And this General who protects the country is the one he needs to stop.

The General Zhenguo was anxious, but when he arrived here, he was stopped by someone, and he was immediately furious.

"Your Highness, I only spared your dignity because you are a prince. I beg Your Highness to let me in now. I need the Sword Saint."
