Li Shimin was shocked when he saw the courtyard door creaking open and a child walking out.
"Who are you?" The child looked at the people in front of him and felt they looked familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember who they were.
"This is General Tiance of the Tang Dynasty, who is also Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling, leading Shaanxi Road and Yizhou Road Daxingtai, His Royal Highness Li Shimin, King of Qin!"
Changsun Wuji continued as if announcing the name of a dish.
The child was dizzy.
"...I, I can't remember these many names." He said confusedly.
What is this, what are these people? !
"I am Li Shimin, and I am here to visit Mr. Poverty Relief."
Li Shimin pushed Changsun Wuji away and said politely,
"Is Mr. Poverty Relief at home?"
The kid shook his head.
"Sir, I traveled with Master Sun," he said truthfully.
"this……"
Li Shimin's eyes showed disappointment, and he immediately said,
"Did you say when you will return?"
The kid shook his head again.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in ten days and a half. I will be the only one to take care of the house."
At this time, all five people had a look of frustration on their faces.
"Is this trying to imitate Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage?"
Fang Xuanling said helplessly,
"Your Highness... do you see it?"
Li Shimin's eyes were firm and he said in a deep voice:
"If we can really get help from Mr. Poverty Alleviation, what's the harm if we visit the thatched cottage not only three times but ten times?!"
Fang Xuanling nodded.
"May I ask Fairy Boy, sir, did you tell me where you were traveling?"
Li Shimin put on a smile and said pleasantly,
"Can you tell me something?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of cake from his arms and waved it in front of the child.
This was a snack he ate on the road, but he didn't expect it to act as a "bribery" at this moment.
The little boy smelled the aroma of the cake, swallowed his saliva immediately, and said:
"Sir, I can't say for sure, but if someone named King Qin comes, you can tell him that he is going to the Qinling Mountains."
"My husband also said not to say anything else."
If Xu Fenglei were here, I'm afraid a big guy would have thrown him away!
This deceitful boy, a piece of pastry revealed everything, not a single word was missed!
It also ruined his image as a superior person!
No future!
"He actually entered the Qinling Mountains?!"
Changsun Wuji said in surprise,
"There are ferocious beasts running rampant in that place, and ordinary people don't dare to enter at will! What is this poor man doing?"
However, Li Shimin's attention was not on this at all.
He stepped forward and grabbed the child's hand, and said with burning eyes:
"My child, Mr. Poverty Relief specifically mentioned King Qin?!"
The child gnawed on the cake, nodded and hummed several times.
Snapped!
Li Shimin clapped his hands and said happily:
"Hey! Okay!"
"It seems that Mr. Poverty Relief has long expected that I would come to him, so he set up a barrier for me!"
"I think this wandering is also a test for me! Let's see if I have the determination to find him!"
"good good good good……"
If you are not afraid of being tested, you are just afraid that people will dislike you!
Judging from the current situation, Mr. Poverty Relief is still willing to spoil him, which means... he still has hope of seizing the throne!
"Auxiliary machine, Zhijie!"
Li Shimin turned around suddenly.
"I'm here!"
The two of them bowed.
"I order you two to return to Chang'an quickly, mobilize eight hundred soldiers, and go to Qinling!"
Li Shimin ordered,
"Don't bring any weapons and armor, and declare to the outside world that I am in a bad mood, so I went to the Qinling Mountains for hunting to relax!"
The two looked shocked.
"yes!"
Then Changsun Wuji hurriedly said:
"Your Highness, do you really want to go to the Qinling Mountains to find Mr. Poverty Relief? The Qinling Mountains stretch endlessly. People entering it are like mud cows entering the sea. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to find him!"
"Even if you use eight hundred people, you're still looking for a needle in a haystack..."
Li Shimin shook his head.
"You don't understand, this is Mr. Poverty Alleviation's test for me!"
He said with firm eyes,
"Although the Qinling Mountains are deep, as long as you search carefully, if you can't find it in ten days, it will take one month, if you can't find it in one month, it will take three months, and you will definitely be able to find it in the end!"
"This is the best way to show my sincerity!"
"I've made up my mind!"
Seeing how determined he was, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to retreat.
He could already imagine the grand scene of thousands of people searching for someone across the mountains and plains...
"I also support His Highness to go to Qinling Mountains to search for people."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said,
"First, as long as we find Mr. Poverty Relief, it is the biggest gain for us."
"Secondly, it can also give the impression that King Qin is tired and focused on hunting, so that His Majesty, the Crown Prince, King Qi, etc. can relax their vigilance."
"For us, it's all a good thing."
His analysis made everyone nod.
Wonderful!
"Stop talking!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said,
"Fang Qiao and Jingde, you two will follow me from Longnan into the Qinling Mountains and be the first to start searching!"
"I have to do it myself to show my sincerity. If I find Mr. Poverty Relief myself, he will definitely be very happy!"
He gave the order, and the five of them thanked the boy for his guidance and quickly went down the mountain.
Arriving at the foot of the mountain, they divided into two groups. Li Shimin and the other three went directly to the Qinling Mountains, while Changsun Wuji and Cheng Yaojin returned to Chang'an to gather their troops.
A blanket search is about to begin!
…
Deep in the Qinling Mountains, there is a small village.
The mountain people in the village have lived in the Qinling Mountains for generations, relying on the mountains to make a living by hunting, collecting herbs, and logging.
Being isolated from the world, if not for the harsh conditions, it would still feel like a paradise.
Xu Fenglei and Sun Simiao were warmly welcomed and entertained by the people in the village because they saved the farmer's life.
In addition to saving people, this was also because both of them had medical skills.
The people in this small village did not leave the Qinling Mountains all year round. Even if they had various diseases, they could only endure it. Some of them died after enduring it.
The rest are all stubborn illnesses.
Now that a famous doctor has come to help the world, shouldn't he be offered up as a treasure?
Because of this, while eating and drinking, the two of them took people's pulses and checked their illnesses, and each wrote up good prescriptions. The farmer's house was actually lively until midnight, and the people gradually dispersed.
That night.
"Mr. Poverty Relief, Mr. Sun, I have caused trouble for you today..."
Farmer Liu presented two rabbit legs and said with an apologetic expression,
"I didn't expect so many people to come. The more people gather, the more they gather. I can't drive them away, disturbing your rest..."
After all, they are all people in his own village and have friendships with each other. It is really difficult for him to chase them away...
"It doesn't matter."
Sun Simiao waved his hand and said with a smile,
"It is my duty to treat illnesses and save people, so why bother?"
"The mountain people are simple and honest, and they are much easier to get along with than those dignitaries. I like the atmosphere of your small village very much."
Xu Fenglei also nodded, and then gnawed on the rabbit leg.
Don't tell me, the rabbits in this mountain are delicious! Those legs are jumping around every day, and the flesh is so tight!
"fragrant!"
Xu Fenglei ate happily and said with a smile,
"Give me more of this tomorrow, so I won't be tired! It won't be a problem to help everyone in the village read it, hahaha..."
"Master Sun, would you like to try it?"
Sun Simiao hesitated for a moment, then picked up the rabbit leg and took a bite...
