Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 235
"If there is any movement, go in and have a look, and don't let them escape."

The Ninth Princess' cry alarmed the assassins outside, Qin Tian frowned slightly, and quickly pulled the Ninth Princess to hide aside.

The two were so close that Qin Tian could smell the body fragrance of the Ninth Princess.

Princess Nine was originally angry, but because of the assassin, she could only hold back at this time.

"Keep quiet, watch me later."

Qin Tian whispered to Princess Nine, and at this moment, the door creaked open, the moonlight shone, and the room was much brighter than before, and two assassins walked in with knives.

"Not good, where's the person?" An assassin shouted, but before he had time to greet his partner, Qin Tian flew out from the shadows and strangled that person's neck with a rope.

Here, he even reached out to grab the knife and slashed another assassin to death.

By the time the assassin was hacked to death, the previous assassin had already been strangled to death by Qin Tian.

The two assassins were killed instantly, but Qin Tian did not relax his vigilance because he knew there were two more assassins.

"You take it here, I'll go and deal with the other two and come back."

Qin Tian was about to leave, but the nine princesses suddenly stopped him.

"No, no, just the two of them."

Qin Tian was puzzled: "Obviously there are four."

Princess Jiu shook her head: "I heard them chatting outside before, saying that they were going to split up. Two of them are here to guard us. They will take us on our way after dawn, and the other two will report to Tuyuhun."

"Tuyuhun?" At this moment, Qin Tiancai somewhat understood that he couldn't understand what these people said before, so it was in Tuyuhun's language.

Princess Jiu nodded: "I am proficient in the languages ​​of the countries around Datang. They are indeed from Tuyuhun. They want to use me as a blackmail and force Datang to give them supplies."

Qin Tian's expression moved slightly. It's the cold winter weather now, and Tuyuhun's life may be difficult. They can't beat Datang in the war. If they want supplies, they come up with such a despicable method?
After realizing that there was no danger, Qin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness, it's getting late now, and we don't know where we are. Why don't we rest here for the night, and return to the capital tomorrow to inform the Holy Majesty about this matter."

Ninth Princess nodded, now they have no choice.

"I'm going to see what's around here." Qin Tian turned around and was about to leave, but Princess Jiu suddenly followed: "I'll go too."

She was afraid of leaving her here alone.

Seeing this, Qin Tian didn't object, and the two followed closely one after the other, and quietly left the room.

When they got out of the room, they found that it was a backyard, and in front of it was a ruin. At this time, there was no one in the whole ruined temple, and even many places were covered with dust.

"Your Highness, no one lives here, we are safe."

As she said that, Princess Jiu's stomach suddenly growled, and Qin Tian also suddenly felt hungry when she screamed like this.

"Let's see if there's anything to eat."

The two searched around, only to find that the assassins had brought all the prey that Princess Nine had killed, and they had just peeled their skins and were about to roast them.

But by this time the fire had been extinguished.

"It's just right, we also roast rabbit meat."

Sitting down in the ruined temple, Qin Tian brought some firewood, then stroked the match, lit the match, and then led the firewood.

The Ninth Princess was sitting next to her shivering, and she was surprised to see Qin Tian take out a small stick and strike it with a stroke.

"This... what is this?" There is no spark to ignite the fire, and the nine princesses can't believe it is real. Even if it is sulfur, it needs a little spark.

When the fire was lit, the two of them immediately felt much warmer. When Qin Tian saw the Ninth Princess asking, he thought something was wrong in his heart. He was careless and exposed the match.

But now Princess Nine is staring at herself and asking, it seems impossible not to answer.

"His Royal Highness, it's just a gadget called a match, which is used to light a fire."

"Bring it to me to see."

"Nothing to see."

The Ninth Princess's expression was condensed: "Take it here, or return to Chang'an City, and this princess will punish you for disrespect."

Apparently, she was still a little worried about Qin Tian grabbing her chest, Qin Tian had a bitter look on his face, so he had to pass the match over.

After Ninth Princess took the match, she took out one, but after getting it in her hand, she imitated Qin Tian to draw it, but there was no reaction at all. She stared at Qin Tian and asked, "What's going on?"

"I just said there's nothing to look at, so bring it here."

Qin Tian stretched out his hand to grab it, but the Ninth Princess suddenly took it back, and said coldly: "Don't play tricks with me, or you will return to Chang'an City..."

Back in Chang'an City again, Qin Tian smiled wryly: "Use this end, just draw on the side of the matchbox."

The Ninth Princess snorted, and then tried it according to what Qin Tian said. After this, a match was really lit. Although the flame didn't last long, it was enough to start the fire.

And this method is much more convenient than using flint to start a fire.

Ninth Princess was overjoyed: "You invented it?"

For a long time, fire was very important to the ancient people, and it was the nine princesses who were so surprised. This is simply a great invention.

Qin Tian nodded, he really didn't want to say anything more, he knew that he might lose his matches.

And that was indeed the case. Seeing him nodding, Princess Jiu immediately put the match into her sleeve: "I want this box of matches. When I get back, bring me some more."

"Your Highness, this thing is not easy to make, there really aren't that many."

"I don't care, I want it anyway." The nine princesses didn't believe what Qin Tian said.

Qin Tian was wronged.

"That has to be paid for."

"You dare to ask me to pay and go back to Chang'an, believe it or not, I will punish you for disrespect..."

"No, don't want it, can't you?"

"It's almost there."

The ruined temple gradually warmed up, and soon the smell of meat wafted out again.

Although there is no smoke and no other condiments, the rabbit meat is still very fragrant after being roasted. Moreover, it may be related to the fatness of the rabbit. The oil on the rabbit makes the roasted rabbit look more attractive.

"Your Highness, the meat is ready, let's eat."

Princess Jiu was playing with the matchbox. When she saw Qin Tian handing over the meat, she immediately took it and started to eat it. She didn't eat this kind of food before, but tonight, she ate it with great relish.

A rabbit leg was quickly eaten up by her.

The cold wind was howling outside, but inside the ruined temple was very quiet. After the Ninth Princess sat down by the fire and looked at Qin Tian with her chin resting on her chin, Qin Tian felt a little embarrassed looking at it.

Just when Qin Tian was about to say something, Princess Jiu suddenly said, "It would be great if I met you sooner!"
