The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 667

Upon hearing Xu Tian's words, Wang Haiyang, who had always wanted to embezzle the project funds, was instantly moved with compassion.

"But that is the Prime Minister."

Xu Tian spoke frankly.

"What if the prime minister can't find where the project funds are at all?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haiyang immediately realized that it made sense.

He nodded, especially since Xu Tian had risked his life to save him.

He trusted Xu Tian completely.

“That’s right. The project funds are currently hidden in that cave in the back mountain. Apart from a few people we trust the most, no one else knows about them.”

Xu Tian hadn't expected to find out the whereabouts of the project funds so easily.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Xu Tian volunteered.

"Brother, this back mountain is not safe at all. What if the Prime Minister orders a search of the mountain?"

Wang Haiyang had already thought of this problem.

They intend to find another place to hide the project funds.

But we haven't found a suitable place yet.

After Xu Tian said that, he was immediately conflicted.

Xu Tian then said, "Brother, why don't you entrust the matter of hiding the project funds to me, and let me hide them in another place?"

Wang Haiyang agreed without hesitation.

His voice was so loud that Xu De, who was next to him, heard it.

"Brother, this is absolutely not allowed."

He was about to say that Xu Tian was just an outsider.

However, he was directly stopped by Wang Haiyang.

"Why not? My brother is no longer an outsider."

We don't trust Xu Tian.

"Brother, they've only been here for two days, and their origins are unknown. How can you entrust such an important matter to them?"

He wanted Wang Haiyang to drive Xu Tian and the others away.

Xu Tian gave the man in front of him a deep look.

This man is Wang Haiyang's right-hand man; it can be said that without him by his side, Wang Haiyang would never have achieved his current position.

It could also be said that without him, there would be no Wang Haiyang.

However, for anyone in any position, the most taboo thing is to overshadow their superiors with their achievements.

"What exactly do you think we are, Brother Xu?"

"Now that we've surrendered, we're people of this mountain stronghold. Could it be that Brother Xu De was born here?"

Xu De was speechless after being asked that question.

They immediately prepared to deal with Xu Tian.

Xu Tian sneered inwardly.

Although he wouldn't actually fight Xu De here.

Although Wang Haiyang trusts him completely now, he still needs Xu De to do him a small favor.

"Brother, you can't make this decision, this is..."

"Xu De, shut up! Who's the boss here, you or me? Who's in charge here?"

Upon hearing Wang Haiyang's words, Xu De immediately fell silent.

He has been by Wang Haiyang's side for several years, and he can be considered an old man.

But today, Wang Haiyang actually spoke to him like this for the sake of an outsider.

He was extremely resentful, but he could only suppress his anger.

He could only direct all his anger at Xu Tian.

All he wants to do now is drive Xu Tian and the others away.

He suspected that these people had come to this mountain stronghold with ulterior motives.

They were enemies to begin with, and now Xu Tian's stronghold has been destroyed.

He must be planning to make a comeback in this mountain stronghold.

Xu De believed he would never give this person a chance.

He had to supervise them at all times.
