The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 425

Qin Xian relayed Xu Tian's words verbatim to the Minister of Works.

"Is this really true?" The Minister of Works was somewhat puzzled by Xu Tian's behavior. He scratched his head, found a seat, and sat down with a furrowed brow. He said in a somewhat roguish tone, "Since that's the case, I'll just wait at the manor for you to recover. Anyway, I don't need to go to the construction site to handle things personally. I can recuperate here with you."

Qin Xian: "......" Shameless!

Despite his helplessness, Qin Xian still relayed the Minister of Works' words to Xu Tian.

"He's shameless." Xu Tian clicked his tongue, stopped what he was doing, glanced at the little yellow dog lying by the door, and suddenly had an idea.

"I heard from you that you bought a lot of fierce dogs to guard the construction site a few days ago. This is a good opportunity to check them out."

"Yes!"

Qin Xian was very quick; he arrived at the construction site in less than three minutes and brought back the five fierce dogs he had purchased.

"Wang-"

"Wang Wang-"

The cacophony of the fierce dogs made many people give way, and the Minister of Works, who was acting spoiled in the main hall, was so frightened by the noise that he immediately jumped onto the table.

"What is this? How come there are dogs here?" the Minister of Works muttered, his tension undiminished. He said, "Someone, quickly go and see which family's animal isn't properly leashed, lest you scare me."

"As ordered."

"My lord, there's no need."

Just as the Minister of Works was about to leave, Qin Xian walked in leading five fierce dogs.

"Woof—" The lead dog was fierce-looking, with a powerful and tall build. Its pair of green eyes made people's scalps tingle. In particular, its body was covered with many scars, making it clear that it was the leader of the pack.

"do not come!"

Seeing Qin Xian approaching, the Minister of Works nervously retreated. "Qin Xian, you should take these beasts away immediately. I'm afraid of dogs. I advise you to leave quickly, or I will definitely complain to Xu Tian when he comes."

Qin Xian, walking the dog: "......" I don't want to get close to you either, and I even complained that you can't even see my parents.

After a brief complaint, Qin Xian deliberately put on a show of force and said, "Your Excellency, you're joking. How can these be called vicious dogs? They are our lord's favorites. Today I'm going to walk them. If you have nothing else to do, Your Excellency, you should come with me for a walk."

"roll!"

"Get out of here!" The Minister of Works said with a livid face when he received Qin Xian's invitation. "I have other matters to attend to and will not waste my time here. I will visit you another day. Goodbye!"

After saying this, the Minister of Works and his men immediately vanished without a trace.

The appearance of the vicious dog terrified him, and his legs were still trembling when he walked out of the yard.

"That Xu Tian is shameless!" the Minister of Works cursed.

That evening, Qin Xian reported the progress of the school to Xu Tian. Upon learning that all the classrooms would be completed by tomorrow, Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought the school's issues would be resolved quickly, but I didn't expect a problem to arise when I inspected the desks this morning.
