The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1255

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and the other ministers did not utter a single word.

They really didn't want to get involved in this conflict, lest something bad happen later.

Turning his gaze away, Xu Tian quickly introduced Jin Rusong, an incorruptible civil official.

Hearing Xu Tian's words, the other party was flattered and excitedly accepted the disaster relief mission.

The morning court session ended quickly, and Xu Tian left the court without lingering. He felt that if he had left even slightly later, he might have actually argued with Prince Yinglan.

He tries his best to prevent such things from happening.

When King Yinglan realized what had happened, he found that Xu Tian's figure had completely disappeared. He snorted coldly, "Damn Xu Tian, ​​just you wait."

Xu Tian got all the good things, while I got all the bad things.

He desperately wanted to tear Xu Tian to pieces.

Xu Tian returned to the Marquis's mansion and soon found Shen Qing covered in blood at the back gate. After taking a careful look, Xu Tian's heart was filled with complex emotions.

I never expected that Shen Qing would be so seriously injured.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Tian settled Shen Qing, who had returned from the brink of death to find him, at home and invited the imperial physician to treat Shen Qing's illness.

Xu Tian kept his gaze fixed on Shen Qing, and didn't look away for a long time.

"Was it a mistake for me to have you take the main road back then? If we had taken the waterway, the situation might not have been so serious." Xu Tian suddenly began to doubt his own orders, seemingly looking at something in the distance.

He didn't understand why this had happened.

After observing for a long time, Xu Tiancai left the room, intending to get busy.

Although Shen Qing was injured, fortunately it wasn't as serious as expected. He should regain consciousness soon.

Soon, Xu Tian returned to his study and continued searching for evidence.

Just as Xu Tian finished looking at the clues on the table, he heard a knock on the door, followed by a servant's respectful voice, "My lord, Shen Qing has woken up. He wants me to call you over quickly, as he seems to have something important to say."

Standing up, Xu Tian slowly walked to the door and quickly opened it. He gave a few simple instructions to the servants and hurried towards Shen Qing's room.

The door was wide open, and before he even went in, he saw Shen Qing, whose face was deathly pale.

Upon discovering Xu Tian's arrival, Shen Qing struggled to get out of bed, saying, "My Lord."

How could he not know what Shen Qing was planning to do? Xu Tian simply waved his hand and said, "You're seriously injured right now, you should rest properly."

If Shen Qing's injury becomes more serious, he will have a real headache, since he still has many things that Shen Qing needs to handle.

"My lord, please forgive me. I did not complete my mission well." Clenching his fists, Shen Qing was still unable to calm himself down.

Thinking of his men who had died tragically, he felt extremely distressed. If he hadn't been caught off guard, this might not have happened.

Sitting down in front of Shen Qing, Xu Tian gently patted Shen Qing's shoulder, "You don't need to blame yourself. Many things are unpredictable."

“But…” Shen Qing now wanted to refute Xu Tian.

But Xu Tian's next words left Shen Qing speechless: "If you really want to blame someone, you should blame me, since I was the one who told you to take the main road."

Shaking his head vigorously, Shen Qing became even more agitated. "The Marquis's decision is not wrong; the one who is wrong is us. I..."

Just as he was getting into the conversation, he suddenly noticed Xu Tian's complicated expression.
