The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1257

Xu Tian's confidant wanted to go with him, but Xu Tian was somewhat reluctant.

"My lord, I am very worried about your safety. Please allow me to accompany you." The confidant was not particularly willing to give up.

Xu Tian shook his head, his expression unusually serious: "If you really come with me, they will definitely find out something."

Before his confidant could continue speaking, Xu Tian quickly left the Marquis's residence.

Although his confidant felt somewhat uncomfortable, he didn't say much. He knew that Xu Tian would definitely be able to protect him well.

Once he confirmed that his trusted confidant was indeed missing, Xu Tiancai turned his head and took a look.

He knew his confidants were very worried about him, but he felt there was nothing he could do about it, since what he was about to do was bound to be dangerous.

Xu Tian traveled for almost a day before finally arriving at Wagang Village.

After walking a short distance, he immediately noticed several gatekeepers at the entrance. He stopped and pondered for a moment.

The gatekeepers all looked at Xu Tian.

They thought Xu Tian's clothes were rather plain, and assumed he was just a poor man. Their eyes were full of disdain, and they didn't want to say a word.

They shook their heads, hoping that Xu Tian could leave this place immediately.

Xu Tian pretended not to understand what they were thinking and walked directly in front of them. "I want to see Cheng Wubin. I hope you can talk to him about it."

Before arriving, he also did some research on the situation in Wagang Village.

As long as I can see Cheng Wubin, most things can be resolved.

"Who do you think you are? You actually want to see him? That's a joke." Xu Tian had barely finished speaking when he heard the gatekeeper's mocking laughter.

Xu Tian wasn't angry; instead, he immediately flashed a bright smile.

He had guessed that this might happen, after all, few people open the door and it's quite normal that no one has seen him before.

"Hurry up and leave here. I get annoyed just looking at you." Seeing that Xu Tian had no intention of leaving, he quickly continued.

Looking up, Xu Tian calmly took out several silver ingots.

Under their watchful eyes, Xu Tian continued to take out silver, the amount increasing, which surprised them, as they had no idea what was going on.

This, this, this...

Did they just misunderstand Xu Tian? Is Xu Tian actually a rich man?

"You thought I was poor when you first met me, which I can forgive. But if you continue like this, it might delay my business deal." Xu Tian waved the silver in his hand.

Realizing they had truly misunderstood, they hurriedly began to apologize to Xu Tian.

Fortunately, Xu Tian didn't hold it against them, otherwise they might have really been beaten up by Cheng Wubin.

"I'm so sorry, we didn't recognize you. Please come in, I'll go get him right away." The gatekeeper's attitude changed instantly, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

Xu Tian simply nodded, not particularly wanting to say anything.

He still had important matters to inquire about and wasn't particularly interested in arguing. Once he understood the situation, he could finally relax.

Soon, he was brought before Cheng Wubin by the gatekeeper.

"What do you need?" Cheng Wubin was in a particularly good mood because he had made a lot of money in the past two days, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Looking at Cheng Wubin, Xu Tian chose to get straight to the point. Since they didn't know each other, there was no need to beat around the bush.
