"Brat!"
Seeing Li Yi's reaction, Zhangsun Wuji exploded.
His face was red as he pointed at Li Yi with his right hand. The beard at the corner of his mouth trembled slightly.
I'm the prime minister of the current dynasty, one of the three dukes, Sikong. I'll tell you my identity. You should at least give me a surprised expression!
Given Zhangsun Wuji's reputation in the Great Tang, he did not believe that Li Yi would not recognize him.
However, if Li Yi knew him and only replied with a plain " Oh " before bending down to pick up the money, what kind of reaction would he have?
"It's over. This storyteller, Little Master, has angered Zhangsun Wuji. That sinister person will probably harm Little Master.”
Du He sat at the side, lowered her head, and whispered.
"That's right. Zhangsun Wuji, that old fellow, is the most sinister. If Little Master angers him, the outcome won't be good.”
Fang Jun nodded, he also agreed with Du He's words.
The reason why they said this was because Zhangsun Wuji had a criminal record.
Although Zhangsun Wuji was the Prime Minister of the Great Tang, he was very vengeful and narrow-minded.
There was once a merchant from the Northern Frontier who accidentally offended Gongsun Wuji at a banquet because he didn't know Gongsun Wuji's identity.
Gongsun Wuji then ordered his men to block the passage, making it difficult for the merchant to move about in the Great Tang. Only when the merchant was forced into a corner and personally came to Zhangsun Wuji's residence with a priceless gift as an apology did the matter come to an end.
Since then, Zhangsun Wuji's insidious and vengeful ways had spread throughout Chang 'an.
"Should we go and help Little Master out? If Zhangsun Wuji takes revenge on Little Master, we won't be able to listen to his stories in the future!”
Gao Chunxing said worriedly.
"There's no need for that for now. Let's just watch from the side first. Moreover, with our status as juniors, even if we go up, it's probably useless.”
Wei Shuwan shook his head.
Among the four, Wei Shuwan was the smartest, so the other three generally agreed with him.
The other three thought about it and agreed. With their status as juniors, even if they appeared and spoke, they would not be able to save Li Yi from Zhangsun Wuji.
Just as Fang Jun and the others were worried about Li Yi's safety.
Zhangsun Wuji slowly lowered his right hand that was pointing at Li Yi.
Zhangsun Wuji knew that he was furious at Li Yi. He couldn't possibly order all the restaurants to forbid Li Yi from speaking in the restaurants!
Moreover, he really liked Li Yi's Journey to the West.
When he came back from the palace last night, he lay on his bed and thought about the plot of Journey to the West. He even dreamed that he had become the monkey king in the story…
If he forbade Li Yi from telling stories, he would not be able to listen to Li Yi's storytelling anymore!
Moreover, Li Yi was just an ordinary storyteller.
He couldn't possibly go against Li Yi as the Prime Minister, could he?
If he did so, his already bad reputation in the hearts of the people of the Great Tang would become even worse.
And he himself would become the Prime Minister of the Great Tang.
No matter what, Zhangsun Wuji could not do anything to Li Yi for the time being.
"Humph!"
Zhangsun Wuji could only snort coldly in his heart. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned around and left.
Seeing Zhangsun Wuji leave, Wei Shuwan and the other three were shocked.
They did not expect that Zhangsun Wuji, with his vengeful and sinister personality, would actually be indifferent to Li Yi's disregard for him.
After confirming that Zhangsun Wuji had really left.
Wei Shuwan and the other three carefully walked to Li Yi, who was squatting on the ground to pick up the money.
"Do you know who he is? Do you know his identity? How dare you reject him so straightforwardly?"
Wei Shuwan looked at Li Yi curiously.
Li Yi raised his head and looked at the four people standing in front of him. He said calmly,""I know! Didn't he just say that his name is Zhangsun Wuji? If I'm not wrong, he should be the Prime Minister of the Great Tang.”
After all, Li Yi had watched a few Tang Dynasty TV dramas in his previous life.
Wei Shuwan and the other three looked at Li Yi in surprise. They said in surprise,""You know that he is Zhangsun Wuji, yet you still dare to reject him?”
Li Yi smiled and said," Zhangsun Wuji is the Prime Minister. I am just a storyteller, an ordinary citizen of the Great Tang. As the saying goes," A Prime Minister's stomach can hold a boat." I believe that with Lord Zhangsun's tolerance, he would not target an ordinary citizen like me.”
When Du He heard Li Yi's words, she almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Him?
Zhangsun Wuji, that sly old man?
Could his stomach hold a boat?
On the other hand, Wei Shuwan's words were more interesting the more he tasted it.
"The Prime Minister's stomach can hold a boat!"
Wei Shuwan carefully savored it and felt that this sentence was extremely charming. To be able to write such a sentence, one must have great literary talent.
Wei Shuwan immediately asked Li Yi," Little Master, I've never heard of this saying before. I wonder who wrote it?"”
Only then did Li Yi remember that he had accidentally said a famous phrase that surpassed this era.
If he remembered correctly, the phrase " a prime minister's stomach can hold a boat " should have only come out during the Northern Song Dynasty. As for who wrote it, he had forgotten.
However, the whole sentence should be: "The general can run a horse on his forehead, and the prime minister can sail a boat in his stomach.”
Later generations generally used this phrase to describe a person's magnanimity.
Li Yi thought for a while, but he couldn't find the person who wrote the words. He explained,""If you really want to say who did it, it can be considered as me.”
Hearing Li Yi admit that he was the one who did it, Wei Shuwan immediately said excitedly,""I knew it was written by Young Master. Otherwise, who could write such elegant and profound lines?”
Li Yi ignored Wei Shuwan's flattery. He frowned at the four of them and asked,""Who are you four?"
"Wei Shuwan greets little master."”
"Greetings, little master." Fang Jun cupped his hands.”
Du He cupped his hands.”
"Greetings, little master." Gao Chunxing cupped his hands.”
After listening to their self-introductions, Li Yi nodded.""Oh, I get it. A bunch of second-generation officials.”
The four of them were confused. They did not understand what he meant.
Li Yi looked at Fang Jun and said with a strange expression,"Be careful when you marry in the future. Don't marry the princess. Also, if you encounter a colorful hat, don't wear it, especially a green hat.”
