The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1235

Noon.

Having just finished lunch, Xu Tian walked into the study and slowly picked up the account book.

He has been looking at the account books recently.

Xu Tian was engrossed in reading the ledger when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside. He raised his head slightly and slowly put down the ledger.

A knock sounded quickly, and Xu Tian coughed lightly: "Come in."

As Xu Tian had expected, the visitor was none other than King Yinglan.

Taking a few steps closer to Xu Tian, ​​King Yinglan wore a bright smile.

Standing up, Xu Tian gestured for him to sit down. "You've been bothering me these past few days. I wonder what brings you here today?"

If possible, Xu Tian really wanted to drive King Yinglan away directly. He had more important things to do right now and didn't want to pay any attention to King Yinglan.

"That's a bit much. I just need your help with a lot of things lately." Hearing Xu Tian's words, King Yinglan felt a little unhappy.

Sitting down next to Xu Tian, ​​King Yinglan quickly concealed his thoughts, "Don't you feel particularly welcome towards me?"

He said that on purpose, just to see Xu Tian's attitude.

Xu Tian clapped his hands expressionlessly, and a servant quickly entered the study. He calmly instructed, "Hurry up and pour tea for Prince Yinglan."

After receiving the order, the servant cautiously approached King Yinglan.

"Of course not, it's just that I didn't expect you to have so much free time. Don't you have anything to do?" Xu Tian slowly picked up his teacup, his gaze fixed on King Yinglan.

Since he couldn't be driven away anyway, he just gave a few perfunctory replies.

How could he not know what King Yinglan was up to? His smile now was nothing but a facade.

"What are you saying? I make time to see you every day despite my busy schedule," King Yinglan denied very quickly.

The servant wanted to leave immediately, so he made the tea and ran away as if fleeing.

King Yinglan picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and pretended to enjoy it, commenting, "The tea is good, but it feels like it's missing something."

Xu Tian stopped what he was about to do and turned his gaze back to King Yinglan. "I'm not as particular as you; I don't have as many rules."

After saying that, Xu Tian drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.

"My lord, I've acquired quite a few fine teas recently. I wonder if you'd like some? I'll have someone bring them over for you in a bit." Prince Yinglan was getting a little too greedy and couldn't help but continue.

Setting down his teacup, Xu Tian smiled faintly. "No need for that."

He felt that the King of England was saying that on purpose.

"It's just a small matter, you don't need to worry about it." King Yinglan also followed suit, keeping an eye on Xu Tian's movements.

Having no other options, Xu Tian could only keep changing the subject, casually exchanging a few words with King Yinglan.

King Yinglan probably understood what was going on and didn't continue.

During their casual conversation, King Yinglan suddenly uttered a few seemingly unrelated words, as if he were trying to probe something. Xu Tian answered cautiously.

If he's not careful, he might blurt out everything he has to say.

Gradually, Xu Tian began to give perfunctory answers to Yinglan Wang's questions.

It seemed that he had said enough, and King Yinglan could no longer hold back. "Actually, there is something important I want to discuss with you."
