The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 796

The General Who Protects the Nation is heading towards the Imperial City.

He didn't even go back to rest; he went straight to the palace to meet the emperor.

"General!"

The General of the Nation had barely stepped inside when he heard someone calling his name from behind.

The voice was very familiar. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Xu Tian.

"Your Highness!"

He seemed very happy to see Xu Tian.

Then she came up and hugged Xu Tian.

"It's been a long time, Your Highness, how have you been?"

Xu Tian smiled softly.

"Of course it's good. When the general left, I was just a powerless adult."

He's risen through the ranks in such a way.

He went from being a powerless adult to becoming a prince.

The two walked into the imperial city, chatting and laughing.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian personally came out to greet him.

"Your Excellency the Regent!" The general stepped forward and knelt on one knee to pay his respects.

Li Chengqian nodded to the General Who Guards the Nation.

"General's triumphant return this time has made a great contribution to our Tang Dynasty."

The General Zhenguo simply waved his hand, indicating, "This is all my duty."

However, his expression quickly darkened again.

"I heard that His Majesty is ill. I wonder how he is now?"

If it weren't for this incident, he wouldn't have rushed back in such a hurry.

Upon learning of the emperor's illness, he was extremely anxious.

I wish I could rush back from outside immediately.

Li Chengqian needed to go to the Imperial Study because of official documents.

Xu Tianjiang, the General Who Protects the Nation, received him in the Imperial Garden.

"General, please sit down!" Xu Tian had a smile on his face the whole time, but no emotion could be seen.

The general was worried about the emperor.

"This humble general should go and check on His Majesty first!"

He was afraid of wasting even a moment and wanted to see the Emperor immediately.

Xu Tian stopped him and then instructed a palace maid to serve tea.

"General, what's the rush? You've worked so hard on the frontier; now that you're back, you should at least rest a bit first, shouldn't you?"

General Zhenguo felt something was off when he heard Xu Tian's words.

But he was ultimately just a military general, unlike those civil officials who were more shrewd and calculating.

He has always been very straightforward.

Hearing Xu Tian say this, he became somewhat anxious.

"I rushed back in such a hurry because I was worried about His Majesty, and now you won't let me see anyone. You're making me sit here drinking tea!"

He simply put the teacup back on the table.

He stood up from the chair in an instant.

If it weren't for the fact that the person in front of me is Xu Tian?

He had already lost his temper.

Xu Tian smiled gently and filled it with the water that had seeped out.

"General, don't be in such a hurry, let me explain in detail."

When General Zhenguo heard Xu Tian's tone, he also felt that something seemed amiss.

He did indeed sit down quietly and listen to Xu Tian speak.

"You'd better give me a reason that can convince me, or I'm going to lose my temper today."

Xu Tian nodded.

"General, don't worry, this reason will definitely convince you."

Xu Tian directly told General Zhenguo about Li Er's plan, which greatly surprised him.

He had no idea that this was actually Li Er's plan.
