The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1236

Before Xu Tian could say anything, King Yinglan spoke in a serious tone.

After King Yinglan finished speaking, Xu Tian once again responded with a blank expression. King Yinglan had bothered him countless times in the past few days.

Fearing that the King of Yinglan might discover something amiss, he had been trying to meet with the King.

The perfunctory response was becoming increasingly obvious, and a hint of anger appeared on King Yinglan's face. He clenched his fists tightly and remained silent.

"I suddenly remembered that I have important matters to attend to at my residence, so I won't bother you any longer today." King Yinglan didn't particularly want to break off relations here, so he tried his best to remain calm.

Taking a deep breath, King Yinglan quickly stood up. Xu Tian also hurriedly stood up. He had originally wanted to see King Yinglan off a few steps, but King Yinglan refused.

Watching the King of Yinglan's receding figure, Xu Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"He won't be coming to talk to me again tomorrow, and I don't really want to face him."

Once the King of Yinglan's voice had completely disappeared, Xu Tiancai couldn't help but vent his frustration.

Not long after, Xu Tian resumed looking at the ledgers.

Having just left Xu Tian's residence, Prince Yinglan got into the carriage with a cold expression, clenching his fists tightly.

"Damn it, how could they be so cold to me? Do they even know who I am?" Afraid of being overheard, King Yinglan lowered his voice slightly, but the gritted teeth in his words were impossible to hide.

But Xu Tian hadn't made any mistakes; he couldn't find any fault with him at all.

Upon returning to the palace, King Yinglan quickly summoned his spies.

"From this day forward, you are to immediately observe Xu Tian's every move. No matter what clues you find, you must report to me."

King Yinglan spoke with some anger, his gaze shifting back and forth.

He always manages to find something slightly off.

After receiving the order, the informant quickly left King Yinglan's room.

After observing for several days, the informant found nothing amiss, and Xu Tian remained in his study looking at the thick ledger.

Fearing that King Yinglan was getting anxious, the spy returned to King Yinglan's side in fear and knelt down on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

"Did you find anything?" King Yinglan was a little excited when his informant returned, thinking that the informant had discovered everything.

But the informant's answer was indeed somewhat hesitant: "This subordinate...has not...discovered anything."

After hearing the whole story, King Yinglan was instantly enraged.

"What am I raising you for? You couldn't even find out anything!" King Yinglan immediately started cursing at his spies.

He vented all his anger on his informant, and couldn't help but continue to curse, his voice growing louder and louder.

The eyeliner remained kneeling, not daring to say much.

The strategist beside him couldn't stand it any longer and quickly stepped in front of the spy.

“You don’t need to plead for him.” King Yinglan’s attitude softened slightly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he bowed to King Yinglan and said, "I have just come up with a good plan and hope you will listen to it."

The words came at just the right time, and King Yinglan's anger vanished instantly.

The advisors quickly offered King Yinglan a suggestion.
