The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 668

Xu Tian could tell that Xu De was indeed a loyal subject.

Moreover, he always felt that Wang Haiyang was a bit reckless in front of this person.

“Brother Xu De, I wonder if you have some misunderstanding about me? If that’s the case, I hope we can talk about it openly.”

"After all, we're brothers now. If our relationship sours, it will directly affect our eldest brother."

Xu Tian looked very sincere.

Although Wang Haiyang was already drunk, he wasn't completely intoxicated.

He didn't listen to Xu De at all; on the contrary, the more Xu De opposed him, the more he insisted.

He immediately gave the order, "All brothers, listen up. I'm now giving Brother Xu full authority to handle the money we intercepted earlier."

“If you have any complaints about Brother Xu, you are going against me, Wang Haiyang.”

Since he had already said that, Xu De couldn't say anything more.

He directly requested, "Please, elder brother, arrange for Xu De to accompany us."

Wang Haiyang then nodded in agreement.

He turned around and explained to Xu Tian again.

“Brother, it’s not that I don’t trust you. Since Xu De is going with you, we’re all brothers, so don’t take it to heart.”

Xu Tian quickly nodded in agreement.

"Brother, what are you saying? We're all family, what's there to be shy about?"

When he said that, Wang Haiyang felt that he was even more sensible.

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to the two of you."

Soon, Xu Tian and Xu De arrived at the location where the construction funds were hidden.

Two bandits guarded the entrance to the cave.

Just those two burly bandits.

They were clearly the most formidable members of this bandit den.

"Brother Xu De, what brings you here?"

The bandits guarding the cave entrance looked surprised when they saw Xu De.

Xu De told them directly what he wanted to do.

As they approached the cave, Xu De spoke to Xu Tian in a threatening tone:

"Let me tell you, I've been watching you from here the whole time, so you'd better not try anything funny."

Xu Tian nodded, "Brother Xu De, don't worry! What kind of tricks can just a few of us pull?"

Xu De glanced at the guards. These men were so burly; he doubted Xu Tian and his group could defeat them.

Without giving it much thought, he simply followed Xu Tian and the others inside.

A bandit guarding the gate led the way for them.

Xu De lived next to Xu Tian.

When they finally reached the outside of those boxes...

"Brother De, this is it."

Xu De was a powerful figure in the bandit's den, second only to the leader.

All the bandits who saw him had to respectfully call him "Brother De!"

Just after the bandit unlocked the door, Xu Tian took advantage of Xu De's momentary lapse in attention and knocked him unconscious.

Songren lunged forward and strangled the person who opened the door instantly.

That person didn't even know what had happened.

His eyes rolled back and he collapsed to the ground.

Xu Tian then made a cut on his arm.

This cut didn't look heavy, but if Wang Haiyang had seen it, the outcome might have been different.

He used Xu De's knife.

Subsequently, Xu Tian quickly ordered his men to move all the project funds away.

"Sir, you..."

Song Ren looked at Xu Tian with some concern.

His injuries did not appear to be minor.

Xu Tian shook his head and said, "It's just a minor injury, I'm fine!"
