Li Shi Min resisted the urge to curse and asked patiently,""What's your name?"
"Li Wudi."
"This name is too overbearing…Your father is really…" Li Shiming's eyes widened in shock.
Li Wudi said," My father didn't give it to me. He died a long time ago. Teacher Qin gave it to me."”
"Dead? Where's your mother?"
"My mother and father died together."
Li Shi Min was shocked. He looked around the barren mountains and then at the shabby thatched cottage. He asked in horror,"You…live here alone?”
"Yeah," said Li Wudi frankly.
"How long has it been?"
"Five years."
Li Shiming was shocked. He looked at the words 'Li Mansion' on the door and the preface to the orchid pavilion on the wall. After a while, Li Shiming squatted down and patted Li Wudi's shoulder with red eyes:
"Five years…Can you tell me how you survived?”
Li Wudi looked at Li Shi Min's red eyes and knew that he wasn't a bad guy. He said frankly,"Teacher Qin accepted me as a student.”
"Teacher Qin is supporting you?"
Li Wudi looked at Li Shi Min with disdain,""I'm already eight years old. Do I still need someone to support me? Teacher Qin has taught me to be self-reliant since I was young. Teacher Qin said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. He taught me a set of ultimate techniques. I, Li Wudi, have the courage of a tiger and the might of a bear!”
Li Shi Min took a deep breath. Ambition."
Li Wudi snorted and proudly raised his head,""All the Tangs in the world are like this!"
Li Shi Min was shocked. His heart trembled. All the Tangs in the world were like this…all the Tangs in the world were like this!
He patted his shoulder again and turned to leave!
After walking out of the Li Residence, Li Shi Min said in a deep voice,"Within two hours, I want to know everything about that teacher! What a good way to make a living by yourself! Our Great Tang actually has such a master, but I didn't know about it!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhangsun Wuji immediately mounted his horse and left.
In the Great Tang, especially under the Son of Heaven, it was far too easy to investigate a person.
In less than two hours, Zhangsun Wuji rushed over. He wiped his sweat and looked at Li Shiming with a complicated expression,"
"Your Majesty…I've found it. Teacher Qin's name was Qin Qi, also known as Shu Ren. He opened a private school in the Laoyukou Mountains and accepted more than 80 children from the entire Qinling Mountains…"
Zhangsun Wuji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, we might have found an immortal!”
Li Shi Min clenched his fist and said,"Bring me there."”
“……”
Following the Laoyu River and heading northwest for twenty miles, Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji brought ten Black Armored Soldiers disguised as hunters to Great Liang Village.
Under the setting sun, there were only a few old women weaving straw sandals in the mountain village. There was not a single man in sight.
Li Shi Min frowned.”
Zhangsun Wuji leaned forward and whispered,""Last year, when Jieli Khagan attacked Chang 'an, all the men in this village went to the battlefield to stop Jieli Khagan's invasion. They died in battle, not a single one left.”
Hiss--
Li Shi Min took a deep breath and felt humiliated.
Jeli Khagan! This was the eternal pain in his heart.
Looking at the dilapidated village, where the old people were farming and weaving straw sandals, Li Shimin sighed in his heart. I didn't protect you well!
Li Shi Min strode into the village and ordered,"Incognito."
Zhangsun Wuji immediately understood.”
Li Shimin walked to the village entrance with a smile. The old lady who was sifting pumpkin seeds looked at Li Shimin uneasily and said,"Noble lady in the city, you…"
The old lady could tell that Li Shimin was either rich or noble just by looking at his clothes.
Li Shimin picked up a pumpkin seed from the dustpan and ate it." Hehe, Auntie, I heard that there's a famous teacher here…"
"You're looking for Teacher Qin?" Grandmother Qi stood up immediately.”
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm looking for Teacher Qin."
The old lady grabbed Li Shiming's hand excitedly.""You must have come from the city because of your reputation, right? Haha, many people have been looking for Teacher Qin recently. Who asked the third kid of the Niu family to get into the scholar examination…"
Li Shimin was stunned. What? What kind of person was this Teacher Qin? A teacher from a private school could actually teach a scholar? A scholar was considered to have an official rank.
"Auntie, there's a scholar in your village?" Li Shimin asked in surprise.”
"You're underestimating me, aren't you?" The old lady chuckled. There are two Elementary Scholars in our village."
"What?!"
Li Shiming exclaimed, and Zhangsun Wuji, who was behind him, couldn't help but be moved.
Such a remote mountain village had two scholars?
How was this possible?
The old lady saw Li Shimin's expression and was a little unhappy.""What, you don't believe me? If it wasn't for the fact that Old Cow's three sons weren't old enough, they would have passed the imperial examination this year.”
What the f * ck!
What was going on? Not old enough?
Zhangsun Wuji grabbed the old lady's arm.""Auntie, speak properly. What do you mean by not old enough? How old is that Niu Laosan?”
"Nine years old."
"Hiss-"
Li Shi Min and Zhangsun Wu Ji sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at each other. At this moment, the hair on their backs stood up.
A nine-year-old scholar!
Was he a genius?
No…he said there were two scholars in one village?
"How old are the other scholars?" Li Shimin quickly asked.”
"One is nine years old, and the other is ten years old. They are both Mr. Qin's students.”
"Two Elementary Scholars." Li Shimin was flabbergasted.
"They are all Qin Qi's students? How is this possible?"
Zhangsun Wuji was also stunned. Two Elementary Scholars? How was this possible?
There were only six Elementary Scholars in the entire hall this year, and two of them were actually young children from this small mountain village?
A small mountain village private school teacher taught two scholars. This old aunt is probably fooling us.
Li Shiming and Li Shiming looked at the old lady with doubt in their eyes.
Seeing the disbelief on their faces, the old lady was also anxious. It was fine if they didn't believe her, but they actually dared to not believe Mr. Qin. How could this be!
The old lady grabbed Zhangsun Wuji's arm and said anxiously,""You guys don't know, but Mister Qin is the reincarnation of a true god, the star of literature. There's nothing in this world that he doesn't know. So what if he taught two scholars? I think even the emperor can only be a student in front of Mister Qin.”
Hearing this, Li Shi Min almost laughed out of anger.
He, Li Shiming, the emperor of the world, could only be a student in front of a small mountain villager?
What a joke!
Zhangsun Wuji was also stunned. Casually commenting on the current emperor was a serious crime that would warrant execution. This old lady was too bold!
Seeing Li Shiming's furious face, Zhangsun Wuji coughed twice, signaling Li Shiming to calm down.
Then, he looked at the old lady and said in a deep voice,"Old aunt, since this Mister Qin is so talented, can you lead the way for me so that we can meet this immortal?”
Li Shiming glared at Zhangsun Wuji and shook his head without saying anything.
Although he was angry, he was not a foolish ruler who would kill people randomly. He would not have the intention to kill an old village woman who did not know anything.
Right now, he only wanted to see Qin Qi as soon as possible. He wanted to see what qualifications a small mountain villager had to be his teacher.
