The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 478

They went inside the warehouse to check, and found it in complete disarray.

Not only were these few valuable items smashed, but other things were also broken.

Xu Tian didn't even know who had such a deep grudge against him that they would do something like this.

Although his own belongings were not worth much, the items the general gave him were all valuable.

If General Zhennan finds out about this, how will he explain it to others?

Everyone was at a loss.

The housekeeper was extremely anxious, as this was entirely due to their poor management.

Xu Tian didn't sleep all night, he kept thinking about this.

Early the next morning,

The General of the State came to see Xu Tian.

Xu Tian was somewhat flattered.

Happiness seemed to come too suddenly.

They were originally enemies.

Unexpectedly, the General Zhenguo has been unusually attentive to him these past few days.

He was very puzzled, but couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was.

The General Zhenguo paid a special visit, and Xu Tian personally came out to greet him.

"It is truly an honor to have the General here. Please come in."

He was still thinking about how to explain this to the General Zhenguo when the General Zhenguo arrived at his residence.

He ordered his steward to serve the finest tea.

Although, none of these mattered to the general.

However, Xu Tian still had to drag things out in the long run.

"Lord Xu, today is a rare day when you don't have to attend the morning court session. Do you have anywhere to go?"

Normally, these adults wouldn't interact much; one was a civil official, and the other a military general.

Being together all the time will inevitably draw criticism.

However, Xu Tian wouldn't care about any of that.

He has a clear conscience.

Xu Tian wasn't actually very familiar with this place, so naturally he didn't have anywhere to go.

He was momentarily stunned when the general asked him that question.

"Now that the General has asked, Xu Tian really can't think of anywhere else to go?"

He picked up a cup of tea and slowly brought it to his lips.

The General of the State merely gave a perfunctory response.

"Oh, really? The blood coral that I gave you yesterday was extremely precious."

The General Zhenguo held a stone in his hand, fiddling with it without touching it.

He seems distracted.

When he mentioned the congratulatory gift, Xu Tianxin immediately sank down.

There's no reason to come back and ask about something that's been given away.

However, most of the items in the General's mansion were bestowed by the Emperor.

It's precious, that's for sure.

Moreover, he had never heard of the general giving anything to anyone.

He was the first one.

But the general said directly, "Lord Xu, why don't you take it out and let me see it? There are some rules for storing blood coral. I need to see how you've stored it."

Xu Tian has been making a lot of moves lately.

What are some other considerations for storing blood coral?

But if people say there are rules, then there are rules.

The problem is, he can't produce that right now.

He was embarrassed, and his situation was on the verge of collapse.

After all, these were gifts given to him out of kindness, and he just had them broken.

"General, please have some tea first. I'll have someone fetch it right away."

Xu Tian chuckled as he pondered how to smooth things over.

However, his men did not return for a full quarter of an hour, and the general began to press the matter aggressively.

"Just how big is your storeroom? How come the servants have been searching for something for so long and still haven't found it?"

The general looked at Xu Tian with impatience.
