Read An Ordinary Me Revered as the National Teacher

The other party spoke, and Li Le felt it was difficult to leave, but he didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so he nodded.

The man didn't care about Li Lezhi's indifference. Instead, he walked a few steps closer and said with a smile, "Master Li, I invited Master Li to my house last time. Due to my busy work, I didn't see Master Li. This time I came to see Master Li on purpose."

"Your Highness, why did you come to see me?" Li Lezhi never expected that this person was the Prince Duan, the third prince, who had invited him to his house but whom he had never met.

Judging from his face, he should be about the same age as Prince Tong'an. Li Le secretly calculated whether the Third Prince had any hostility towards him, but the result was no.

This surprised him for a moment, but then he thought that the Third Prince might have remembered what he had calculated last time, so he had no hostility towards him.

The Third Prince smiled and said, "I came here this time to express my gratitude to Taoist Li."

"..." Li Le thought about it for a moment and said, "No need. It was not your Highness's fault."

"That being said, if it weren't for Master Li's help, I wouldn't know who was behind the murder of Xiao Shi, and I would be implicated for no reason," the Third Prince said with a smile, "Master Li came to the capital, and he has no land to rely on. This is a small gift from me, please accept it."

"I have already made arrangements for February next year. I will not let anyone who is blind embarrass Li Daochang's apprentice." www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network

Li Le just frowned. It would be related to his disciple in February next year. It must be the county exam. When he was about to say that it was not necessary, the Third Prince understood his concerns at a glance and said, "I didn't do anything. If no one attacked the Taoist's disciple, nothing would happen. If someone attacked the Taoist's disciple and replaced his paper, I can't just sit there and watch."

After hearing this, Li Le had no room to refuse. The Third Prince meant well. Besides, this was related to his apprentice's exam, so he should be careful.

However, it seemed that he didn't need the help of the Third Prince for this matter. Li Le was just a little confused.

The Third Prince took advantage of the situation and said, "Master Li, why don't you invite me to sit down?"

Li Lezhi then invited him into the house to sit for a while, and poured him a cup of tea. The two looked at each other in silence.

The third prince didn't care. After slowly sipping the tea in the cup, he sat for another cup of tea before getting up and leaving.

Before leaving, the Third Prince did not say a word, as if he came here just to thank him and give him something.

But Li Le always felt that his intention was not that simple. Could it be that he wanted to sow discord between him and the prince?

Generally speaking, the Third Prince had no ill will towards him, and this matter should not be harmful to him, so Li Le simply put it behind him.

But he didn't expect that Gongsun Miaoran came right after the third prince left.

The moment he saw Gongsun Miaoran, Li Lezhi just remembered what he had forgotten. His leave was overdue. It was originally for a month, but now it has been more than a month. Li Lezhi immediately went up to him and said, "I forgot the date. Will I be fined?"

"...No," Gongsun Miaoran swallowed back the words that were about to be said. Seeing that Taoist Li was concerned about this matter, he added: "It is a great thing that Taoist Li is cultivating in Xuanyang Palace and is being taught by Senior Xuanyangzi."

"I didn't expect to run into the Third Prince this time. He was like an old hen whose chicks were stolen. He ran to see Taoist Li as fast as he could, fearing that the Third Prince would cause trouble for Taoist Li.

Seeing that there was no change in Taoist Li's expression, perhaps the Third Prince came to see Taoist Xuan Yangzi.

Gongsun Miaoran was relieved and continued, "Within five days, the ceremonial procession from the Snow Country of Zhao will arrive in the capital."

"I understand. I will go back to work tomorrow," Li Le said.

Gongsun Miaoran was surprised and asked, "Master, have you finished learning?"

"I've finished learning it," Li Le just nodded.

Because he learned from Gongsun Miaoran that the Zhaoguo Snow Country's ceremonial procession was about to arrive, and he was also a member of the Honglu Temple, how could he be absent?

Before leaving, Li Le had his fortune told to him to see if he would be lucky or not. He would go back if nothing bad happened. After the fortune telling turned out to be good, Li Le did not delay at all. After saying goodbye to Senior Xuan Yangzi, he also informed Jiang Yuge and Qingtong, and then left with Gongsun Miaoran and returned to his long-lost home.

Because he had not been home for more than a month, Li Le thought that the house would be dusty, but he did not expect it to be clean inside, as if someone had cleaned it. Li Le thought that it was his apprentice who came back, but when he walked in, he did not see his apprentice. He sighed in his heart and thought that he was overthinking, as his apprentice was still studying in the academy.

Li Le was just feeling sad.

He heard the knock on the door again. He didn't want to pay attention to it, but the knock on the door sounded again. He went to open the door, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Xu Ling standing at the door.

Li Le just looked at the sky and didn't notice the sun rising from the west, so why would Xu Ling come to find him.

Li Le had no idea that since Xu Ling came to Xuanping Lane for the first time and didn't see anyone, he had come several times. Later, he learned that Li Le was practicing in Xuanyang Palace, so he sent people to keep an eye on Xuanyang Palace, and when the person came back, he would rush over immediately.

Xu Ling said: "Master Li, please show some mercy and let us go."

"I raised my hand," Li Le just raised his hand. He really didn't understand why so many people came to see him today. Even Xu Ling came to visit him and asked him to show mercy and let him go. He also... Li Le just thought of it. Although he did not take action, the Third Prince and the Xiao family who knew the truth would not let go of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion.

Li Le simply said, "You've got the wrong person."

Seeing that Xu Ling didn't move, Li Le just closed the door.

After Xu Ling saw Li Le raising his hand, he felt like he was being teased and was a little shocked by his unconventional behavior. What did the other party mean by this? Was he unwilling to let him go, unwilling to let go of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion?

Before he could ask, he heard the other party say that he had found the wrong person.

Xu Ling understood instantly that the other party didn't want to let him go, and his presence today gave the other party an opportunity to humiliate him.

Xu Ling clenched his fists, glared at the closed door, and left without looking back. He must be stupid to come to find Li Lezhi.

How can he and he shake hands and make peace?

Xu Ling made up his mind to return to the mansion. Since the Xiao family was unwilling to let them go, don't blame them for wanting to fight for it. Wait until Prince An ascends the throne and then he will teach them a lesson.

Li Le just closed the door, in his heart he still missed the days in Xuanyang Palace, which were quiet and leisurely. It was not like when he returned home, many people came to look for him and he had no time to relax.

Li Le thought about it, then wrote down the words "not at home" and posted it on the door. He didn't know if the words he posted had any effect, but no one came to bother him that afternoon.

By night, Li Lezhi had already fallen asleep. In his dream, he vaguely heard some noise, which sounded like the sound of swords colliding.

On his roof, two people were drawing their swords against each other. The fight was so fierce that neither of them could do anything to the other for a while.

This made the secret guard feel frightened. There might not be many people who could fight against him, but the person in front of him was actually one of them. Who on earth sent an assassin to assassinate Taoist Li?

If he had not come today, anyone else would have been killed by the other party.

The assassin opposite him had never thought that this little Taoist priest actually had secret guards protecting him. This discovery made him realize that this Taoist priest was extraordinary and his skills must have been trained by the royal family.

If they continued fighting like this, it would certainly be disadvantageous to him, and he also had to bring this news back. After the assassin blocked the broken blade of the secret guard, he stepped back a few steps and then slipped away right under the secret guard's nose. The secret guard took two steps forward and saw the man fleeing, so he didn't dare to leave Li Le even a little bit, lest the other party make a surprise attack when he left.

When it was time to change shifts, the secret guard reported the matter to Emperor Zhao. After learning about it, Emperor Zhao immediately strengthened the defense of the capital and sent another person to protect Li Lezhi's safety.

Taoist Li was assassinated late at night, which made Emperor Zhao think a lot. He thoroughly investigated all the people who had seen Li Lezhi today, and found that it was Xu Ling. However, he did not find any connection between Xu Ling and the assassin, nor did he find anyone Xu Ling met after returning home.

Afterwards, Emperor Zhao invited Zhu Yang to come and ask him to predict who had sent Taoist Li to be assassinated.

Zhu Yang calculated and found out that it was Prince Yin of Zhao State.

The Emperor of Zhao was furious. It was Zhao State again, and the Prince of Yin was under his territory of Daliang, but he was still so restless. He must have some plan.

Only Taoist Li was frightened. Emperor Zhao sent a reward to Taoist Li through the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince learned about it, he also added some money and finally it was delivered by Gongsun Miaoran.

Li Le just woke up and looked at the things on the table. He felt like he was still in a dream, otherwise, how could he have such an illusion.

He looked at Gongsun Miaoran.

Gongsun Miaoran coughed and said, "These are all rewards from the palace. The prince also gave some."

"Give it to me?" Li Le was puzzled. Why would the palace send these things, and the prince as well? Could it be that the Queen Mother gave it to him?

"Yes," Gongsun Miaoran was not sure how to explain it. He didn't know much, but judging by the amount, it was probably a reward from His Majesty. He said, "Master Li, please accept it without worry."

"Okay," Li Le only knew that it was given by the palace, and he didn't dwell on it. Anyway, these were things that had been bought from the palace. Even though his house was small, it was difficult to store so many valuable things. Fortunately, the crime of theft was serious under Daliang law, so no one dared to break into the house and steal things.

Gongsun Miaoran left after delivering the things. Li Le just put these things away and placed them in his room, and went to report to the Honglu Temple.

He had only been free for two days when someone came to his door while he was on duty at the Honglu Temple.

"Are you Li Lezhi?" Gu Taibu looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"Yes," Li Le said lightly.

"I am a Taoist priest from Yuqing Palace. My surname is Gu. I heard about Taoist Master Li's name after returning to Beijing. I came here to pay a visit to Taoist Master Li," said Gu Taibu after bowing.

"I still have to go on duty. If you have nothing else to do, you can wait until I finish my work."

Gu Taibu glanced at the two people who were staring at him, as if if he made any move, these two people would stand up for Li Lezhi. This Taoist priest Li had great ability to bewitch people, but he didn't know if his ability was as good as the rumors said.

Gu Taibu came in a hurry this time, and he was alone, so he didn't dare to act recklessly in the Honglu Temple. If he were allowed to leave like this, he would be somewhat unwilling.

Just as he was thinking about how to leave, Yu Guangzhong saw a person, who turned out to be his junior fellow apprentice Shen Ya. Gu Taibu was very happy and immediately went to greet him and said, "Junior apprentice, why are you here?"

"Master Li, you go ahead and do your work. I will come to visit you after I finish my shift," said Gu Taibu, then he immediately hooked his arm around Shen Ya's shoulder and left.

Shen Ya had only seen Li Le once, and before he could tell Li Le that Gu Taibu was his senior brother, he had already entered the Taibu Office and said nothing, when Gu Taibu hooked his shoulder and left. Shen Ya didn't want to, but he had no choice but to follow his senior brother away.

Li Le just watched the two people leave, shook his head, and didn't take them to heart.

Gu Taibu took Shen Ya away and said to him on the way: "Brother, this is also for the purpose of knowing yourself and the enemy. Only by knowing his ability and understanding him well can you hit him with a good blow. Moreover, I think that Taoist Li's demeanor may not be what you said in your letter. Is there any misunderstanding?"

After hearing this, Shen Ya was furious.

Shen Ya said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, are you my brother or Li Daochang's brother? Why do you lean towards him after meeting him? Have you been bewitched by him?"

Gu Taibu touched his nose and defended himself: "There are not many people in this world who are as immortal as Taoist Li. They are not like ordinary people. If there are immortals in the world, they should look like Taoist Li."

Shen Ya: “…”

He invited his senior brother back, not because of his senior brother's praise for him.

In particular, Gu Taibu glanced at Shen Ya at this time, pinched his face and said: "You have a good appearance and are also handsome, but when you walk with Taoist Li, you two don't seem to be from the same world."
