The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1209

It was already dark when Xu Tian returned to his mansion. The road home was pitch black, and only after he entered the mansion did light gradually appear before his eyes.

"My lord." The servants in the manor bowed to him.

Xu Tian was always calm and even-tempered. He nodded lightly in response, but when he reached the door of the study, he suddenly stopped. "Are the things I asked you to put in the warehouse still there?"

The question came so suddenly that the servant was taken aback for a moment before belatedly realizing what was happening and hurriedly replied, "Yes, of course it's here!" What a joke! Those were Xu Tian's things; who would dare to mess with them privately?!

Hearing this answer, Xu Tian said with satisfaction, "Pack those things up later, I need them tomorrow. Remember to wrap them up properly." Xu Tian added one last instruction.

"What does Your Excellency intend to do?" Xu Tian asked casually, but the servant already had a vague idea in his mind, though he dared not make a definitive conclusion.

Xu Tian said, "I'm going to visit a very important person tomorrow, so you must keep this matter in mind."

The servant hurriedly replied, "This servant understands, sir. Rest assured, this servant will prepare well and not let you lose face."

"Hmm." Xu Tian said no more and pushed open the door to enter the study.

Ever since he learned that the rich young man he had met on the street was the nephew of the King of Yinglan, Xu Tian had been prepared. Given how despicable the rich young man was, he certainly wouldn't be able to tolerate being humiliated in front of him.

Xu Tian anticipated that the man would complain after returning home, so rather than letting him come knocking on his door, he decided to take the initiative himself. With this in mind, Xu Tian went to the Prince Yinglan's residence early the next morning with gifts prepared in advance by his servants.

The Prince of England's Mansion is located in the very center of the entire capital city.

When Xu Tian arrived at the gate, there were only a few gatekeepers at the entrance of the Prince Yinglan's Mansion.

Upon seeing Xu Tian's sudden appearance, the young men tensed up, staring at him warily: "Who are you? What are you doing here?!"

Today, Xu Tian was dressed in completely ordinary clothes, looking no different from an ordinary person. But even in this appearance, his aura still made people dare not look down on him.

"I am Xu Tian. I have come to visit King Yinglan today. I hope you gentlemen can inform him of my arrival." Xu Tian bowed to the servants with neither arrogance nor servility.

The servants were unsure what to do for a moment. After exchanging glances, they reluctantly said, "Then you wait here." With that, the servants ran into the gate.

Xu Tian waited outside the door for a while, then heard hurried footsteps getting closer and closer. The servant who had just gone to report came running out, panting heavily, and behind him was a figure.

Xu Tian looked closely and saw that the two people had quickly run out.

"A rare guest indeed, Lord Xu. It's an honor to have the time to visit my residence today." Prince Yinglan was dressed in brocade robes and jade ornaments, clearly no ordinary person.

Xu Tian glanced at him twice, then bowed respectfully and said politely, "This humble official greets Your Highness."

On the surface, the two appeared to be on friendly terms, but beneath the surface, undercurrents were already swirling. King Yinglan sneered inwardly; he had just been planning to go find Xu Tian, ​​but unexpectedly, this man had delivered himself right to his doorstep.

"Please, Lord Xu, I have prepared hot tea. I have many things I would like to discuss with you today." King Yinglan gestured for him to enter.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment," Xu Tian said, pausing for a moment. He turned to look at the carriage that had been parked by the roadside and suddenly said inside, "Miss, please get out of the carriage."
