The imperial examination was over soon. Under the interference of the emperor, it was over very quickly. It was done in a hurry. As expected, the top three in the list, and even the top six, and the top six in civil and military were all disciples of Li Mu.

Although some people were dissatisfied with this matter, after careful comparison, it was discovered that there was an insurmountable gap between Li Mu's disciples and other students who participated in the assessment.

It's hard to say about literature, but when it comes to martial arts, the other disciples are at best first-rate masters. As for the disciples taught by Li Mu, even the minimum level of cultivation required to take the Confucian examination was at the level of master.

This caused many candidates to perform even more abnormally.

And relying on this matter, the emperor was able to defy all opinions and embark on a journey to find Li Mu.

When the emperor travels, there are huge crowds of people, loud gongs and drums, and firecrackers blasting.

After three months of staggering walking, we finally arrived at Huangjiazhuang. Moreover, all the people in Huangjiazhuang walked forward at the entrance of the village early and started to greet him ten miles away.

But this does not include Li Mu. After all, the emperor still knows a little about what a virtuous king looks like. The so-called polite corporal cannot allow others to go to a place more than ten miles away from home to greet him. This is not called polite corporal. This is called the boss to check for you. That's why the emperor specifically told the local officials to let Li Mu wait quietly at home.

The emperor was only seventeen or eighteen years old at this time, which was the same age as Li Mu's first disciples. But he was far less mature and stable than the first batch of disciples. The emperor was just a rebellious young man who was never interested in the secular etiquette of ordinary people.

That's why he decided to visit Li Mu in person, against all opinions, without any concern for his own safety.

"Uncle Emperor, look at how many outstanding people this line has come along the way. Look, I haven't seen even the tiniest petty theft. Moreover, the streets are extremely clean and the security is very good."

"At first glance, it seems that it has been formed over many years. It is not the counties I passed through that were raided for cleaning."

The emperor finally arrived at the county where the mausoleum was located. Seeing the neat and wide streets in the county, and the laughter and laughter of the people, the emperor, who was dressed in plain clothes, said excitedly to the gray-haired old man on the side.

"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down. Now we are walking in plainclothes, and the person playing you is still sitting in a sedan chair heading to Huangjiazhuang. We have to arrive before he arrives, otherwise you won't be able to see the one you have been thinking about so much. Half an immortal."

When the gray-haired old man heard the emperor's disengagement, he said that he hated iron.

"Uncle Emperor, you are just too serious. I know, I know."

Then the emperor secretly wrote a gesture, and suddenly an old man who had made friends with him and sold candied haws appeared in front of the emperor. He only sold candied haws to the outside world, but only the emperor could hear what he was saying.

"Bring me all the information on the county magistrate here. I want to see how this guy suddenly seems to have an idea. In just a few years, this county has changed so much."

"I'm just curious about this guy. Why didn't he break out before? Did he break out until recently? Is it because he wants to marry a little wife and get promoted and make a fortune?"

"Cough cough cough~"

Hearing the emperor's words getting more and more outrageous, the gray-haired old man beside him quickly coughed a few words as a reminder.

The man who was in contact with the emperor quietly turned around and left the emperor and the gray-haired old man alone. He found two horses and set foot on the destination of Huangjiazhuang.

"Mr. Li, I have become the king of a country, but I am truly honored to meet you today. I hope you can see that I am young and unable to control the government. I will be grateful if you can help me."

Finally, hurrying slowly, the real emperor reappeared in the mix. After greeting the villagers ten miles away from the village entrance, the emperor went straight to where Li Mu was.

The emperor ran very fast, and did not bring a large number of followers. He only had three or five masters guarding him. He ran very fast along the way, and soon arrived at where Li Mu was, in the Peach Blossom Mountain in the back mountain. .

After confirming Li Mu's identity, he quickly saluted and spoke in a humble tone.

"So you are the little emperor?"

"Uh, yeah."

After a long time, the emperor heard the voice coming from Li Mu's mouth. He looked up and saw that Li Mu was pruning peach branches. He turned back slightly, glanced at himself, and asked.

This surprised the emperor. No one dared to call him the little emperor to his face since he was a child.

But he couldn't see any fear in Li Mu's eyes, instead they were as calm as walking into clear water.

"I have no intention of going to the deep palace, but since you are the emperor, do you want peace and prosperity for the country and the people, or do you want to expand the territory?"

"You can feel free to say it boldly. As the saying goes, there is no distinction between education and discrimination. I will not discriminate against you just because you are an emperor."

Li Mu didn't care at all how strange his words were, as long as he felt comfortable anyway, so the moment he saw the emperor, Li Mu expressed his thoughts without any concealment.

"Forehead?"

The emperor was a little confused at this time. In his impression, those big guys who lived in the deep mountains and old forests were generally immortal and had a Bodhisattva heart. As long as he had a miserable life experience, he would be rewarded by the other party.

As a result, he never expected that Li Mu would even speak in this style, which he couldn't accept for a while, but he was still quite happy in his heart. After all, he hated the kind of slick old Confucian scholar the most. .

"I want peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and I also want to expand the territory. I wonder what you have to say, sir?"

As expected, he was an emperor who had received an orthodox education from the royal family. Even though his personality was out of control, he still found a point of strength in Li Mu's words and quickly stood up straight.

"I will give you a son named Huang Xuewu, who can mount a horse and help you conquer all directions."

"I'm giving you a son named Huang Xuewen, who can dismount and help you settle things."

Li Mu did not intend to take action personally, but instead asked for good official positions for his two disciples.

Even if their identity and official position were put aside, if they could become familiar with each other in front of the emperor, they would have many opportunities to practice and integrate what Li Mu had learned, accumulate their own experience, and form their own path.

"Sir, are you serious? They are only seventeen or eighteen years old, can they really be worthy of such a big responsibility?"

The emperor thought Li Mu was joking at first, because in everyone's impression, although Li Mu's two disciples were very outstanding, they had not been tested after all, and all their experience was zero, and all their knowledge came from books. It doesn't impress other people at all.

But the next moment, the emperor saw the word "confidence" on Li Mu's face, so he asked with some anxiety.
