The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 477

Although the general had arrived at the gate of the Xu residence, he did not go inside directly.

He sat calmly inside the carriage.

Before long, Xu Tian came out from inside with a big smile on his face.

"General Zhennan, what brings you here?"

Xu Tian's smile stretched almost to the back of his head, his smile full of healing charm.

This is something no one could refuse.

Then he heard the General Zhenguo say, "Lord Xu, the main problem is that although he congratulated you verbally, he didn't send you any gifts. It's not practical at all."

He waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately carried the things up.

"Today, I have come to present you with a special gift to congratulate you."

Xu Tian was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected the General Zhenguo to send a gift to congratulate him.

There was a feeling of being flattered and overwhelmed.

The general had a big smile on his face, and when he looked at Xu Tian, ​​it was just like he was looking at his own disciple.

Although the two of them have absolutely no connection.

After delivering the gifts, the General of the State left immediately.

Xu Tian then expressed his gratitude to the general.

He then ordered his men to move all the items to the storeroom for safekeeping.

"Remember to be careful, and don't damage it."

Xu Tian gave the specific instructions.

He did it very carefully.

He didn't even have time to look at what the general had given him as a congratulatory gift.

After the guards had carried everything away, Xu Tian returned to his study.

His subordinates all felt that the general was acting somewhat strangely.

"My lord, why do you think the General suddenly sent you a gift?"

Xu Tian didn't take it seriously.

After all, the Grand General still needs a scholar in the imperial court.

And he was the one who was pushed up by the general.

Their relationship has always been tense.

However, in everyone's mind, the relationship between the General and Xu Tian was quite delicate.

He was able to beat Bai Binping's student yesterday.

It wasn't just luck.

Moreover, he had his own agenda.

The reason the general sent him a congratulatory gift today was undoubtedly to let everyone know.

His relationship with the general was not as outsiders imagined.

Xu Tian didn't want to curry favor with this person.

He didn't want to curry favor with anyone in the entire court.

After putting everything away, Xu Tian completely forgot about the matter.

He waved for the guards to leave, and stayed alone in the study, flipping through several files.

It was late at night! So dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face!

Xu Tian fell asleep right there on the desk.

He was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"My lord, my lord, something terrible has happened!"

The person knocking on the door was the manor's steward.

His voice was urgent.

Xu Tian got up and straightened his clothes.

Only then did he slowly walk out of the room.

"Didn't I tell you not to panic? What happened?"

The butler took a deep breath.

"The storeroom has been robbed. Someone sneaked in last night and smashed all the items the general had bestowed upon us."

Upon hearing the butler's words, Xu Tian was instantly stunned.

"what?"

Xu Tian never expected that the things delivered during the day would be smashed to pieces by nightfall.

Most importantly, how is he going to explain this to the general?
