The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 998

After saying that, Li Yuan looked up at the minister in front of him.

"Have all the matters in the capital been arranged properly?"

The minister quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, rest assured! Everything is ready and we are just waiting for your command."

Upon hearing the minister's words, Li Yuan's lips curled into a strange smile.

Li Yuan threw the cup on the table. "Tonight at midnight, remember to make sure it's done cleanly, don't leave any evidence."

Li Yuan had already set up his own secret guards in the imperial city.

He hadn't moved at all, but this time, Xu Tian had really provoked him.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill both of them right now.

They absolutely did not want to keep Li Zhi around for even a moment.

He directly ordered his trusted ministers to use the opportunity of submitting memorials to enter the palace and meet with the emperor, and then organize assassins to secretly kill Li Zhi.

In the vast palace, the trusted ministers gathered everyone together.

Then he said to those people, "In a little while, use the sound of breaking a cup as a signal. As soon as you hear the sound of breaking a cup inside, you all rush in and drag that dog emperor away."

The assassin nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

Once the trusted ministers entered the imperial city, they presented all the memorials.

Li Zhi, sitting behind his desk, was looking at the memorial with a serious expression.

The minister pretended to accidentally knock over a cup or saucer next to him.

He immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Li Zhi slowly raised his head.

At the same time, Xu Tian pushed open the door and walked in from outside.

The minister thought an assassin had entered.

He was overjoyed. "Men, go and kill him now!"

"I don't know, Lord Gu. Who do you want to kill?"

Xu Tian's voice was icy cold as he swaggered up from behind.

His face was like ice, and his eyes were like cold stars.

The minister in front of him was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

He had expected that if he broke the cup, his men would rush in. But to his surprise, it wasn't his assassins who appeared, but Xu Tian.

"Your Highness! What are you doing here?"

Li Yuan's trusted ministers were already so frightened that they even stammered when they spoke.

Xu Tian stood beside him, a sword at his waist.

With just one glance, the minister could clearly see that the sword at Xu Tian's waist was the Imperial Sword.

The minister was completely terrified.

Xu Tian's gaze alone was enough to kill him 800 times over.

He didn't even dare to look at Xu Tian.

"Lord Gu, you still haven't answered me. Who exactly did you intend to kill just now?"

Xu Tian raised his voice.

The person kneeling before him trembled.

"Your Highness must have misheard. How could I possibly say I would kill anyone? I simply believe that I deserve to die for breaking this glass lamp."

Hearing this guy's flattering words, Xu Tian snorted coldly.

Then, he raised his hand and clapped a few times lightly.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Dozens of imperial guards rushed in from outside in an instant.

"Sir, you shouldn't find these people unfamiliar, right?"

The minister didn't even need to look to know who Xu Tian had brought in.
