The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 995

Li Yuan thought he had never expected that the envoy from Nanzhou would be such a troublemaker who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

To think that such a disgraceful act would occur while attacking the imperial city.

Xu Tian strode forward, frowning and looking very gloomy, and said, "The envoy from Nanzhou has gone mad."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed that Xu Tian's words made some sense.

The envoy from the Southern Continent before them truly seemed to have gone mad.

Xu Tian roared, "Guards! Give the envoy from Nanzhou fifty strokes of the cane and then throw him out of the palace."

After Xu Tian said that, no one dared to stand up.

After all, this person suffering from madness can bite, and if something goes wrong, they can't afford to take the blame.

Even Li Yuan, who had previously seemed to have a good relationship with the envoy from Nanzhou, did not dare to stand up and say a word.

He cursed inwardly. He had previously thought that the envoy from Nanzhou was a valuable asset that could help him accomplish his great cause, but now he felt that the guy was nothing but a pile of stinking dog shit.

Hearing the screams coming from the side, everyone gasped in horror.

However, this envoy might have a lot to endure with those 50 lashes.

It might keep him bedridden for five days.

You should know that those boards really hit your flesh; the soldiers here never show any mercy when they beat people.

After beating the man, Xu Tian went to the post station to visit the envoy from Nanzhou the next day.

The envoy from the Southern Continent was still completely unresolved about that incident.

He had no idea how such a situation could have arisen.

Even now, he never imagined that he was poisoned back then.

Did they really think they had some hidden illness?

Now, even the servants who came out with him look at him with somewhat evasive eyes.

The envoy from the southern state was filled with indignation, and earlier that morning he even ordered the execution of one of his servants.

Upon hearing the report from outside, Xu Tian arrived.

The envoy from the southern state, enduring the pain, was preparing to greet the newcomer.

Xu Tian took a few steps and walked directly to the bedside of the envoy from Nanzhou.

"What do you think of the board, Your Excellency?"

Originally, the envoy from Nanzhou genuinely believed that Xu Tian had come to visit him.

Although the situation was urgent, the Tang Dynasty shouldn't have really beaten him to such a state.

He originally intended to write back and wait for his emperor to seek justice for him.

Xu Tian stood directly in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly.

"Xu Tian would like to remind Your Excellency of a principle: 'We will not attack unless we are attacked; if we are attacked, we will surely punish them!'"

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the envoy from Nanzhou couldn't help but shudder.

Although Xu Tian's tone sounded neither too light nor too heavy, every word he uttered was full of threat.

"Your Highness! What you've done..."

He wanted to ask the person in front of him what he meant, but then his eyes widened and he understood.

Even if he were incredibly foolish, he should have already understood Xu Tian's meaning.

"Could it be that the Prince did it on purpose yesterday? No, that's not right. Could it be that my behavior yesterday was actually because..."

He hadn't finished speaking when he looked up at the person in front of him.

Xu Tian's eyes, however, held a chilling glint.

"I came here specifically to tell my envoy from the Southern Continent that he must think things through carefully before taking any action. He must not act rashly, otherwise, losing both soldiers and generals would be a very bad deal."

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, the envoy from Nanzhou finally understood completely.
