In Loach Alley, the old lady's loud "Mr. Qi" instantly penetrated the walls of every household.

The people nearby, who were originally immersed in their own trivial matters, all looked up.

Then they put down the work in their hands, moved quickly, stood up and rushed towards the source of the sound. Soon, they all gathered in front of Mr. Qi.

This Loach Alley used to be just an inconspicuous little place in Xianyang City, with dilapidated houses and muddy roads.

It was naturally difficult for Li Chengqian to come here often.

His face was hazy and blurry to the people here.

Mr. Qi is completely different.

In this era when reading and writing are more valuable than money, Mr. Qi, as a scholar, could have sought better development in a prosperous place, but he chose to step into their poor Loach Alley.

And he stayed in this poor and dilapidated place for five whole years, working silently and teaching the children around him to read and write.

Which child in Loach Lane had not learned to read and write under his instruction?

Is there any child who has not had the opportunity to change his destiny because of his patience and care?

If it weren’t for the fact that most of the children in Loach Lane back then learned some knowledge from Mr. Qi’s teaching.

How can I have the opportunity to go to the academy founded by His Majesty?

How could Qin Ruzhao bring their children into the army and make achievements?

Because of this, Mr. Qi's image is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people.

Mr. Qi's return dispelled the long-standing dullness and silence in the alley.

Enthusiasm instantly bloomed on the faces of the people.

A kind-looking middle-aged man spoke first, his eyes full of concern: "Mr. Qi, have you had your meal yet? If you're still hungry, you must come to my house for a meal."

"Although these are just some common dishes, please don't be disgusted by them, sir!"

A gray-haired old woman beside him also said tremblingly: "Mr. Qi, you haven't been home for a long time, why did you suddenly come back today?"

"Did you come back here because you were wronged outside? Sir, you are always welcome in Loach Lane."

A little old man, with curiosity glittering in his eyes, asked eagerly, "Mr. Qi, we've all heard you've made a name for yourself out there. Have you become the Grand Tutor of our Tang Dynasty? That would truly bring honor to our family!"

There was even an old man, his voice trembling with excitement, who shouted, "Hello, Mr. Qi, hello, Your Majesty! With a virtuous man like you educating the people, and Your Majesty leading us wisely, our Tang Dynasty will surely prosper and be feared by all!"

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their deep longing for Mr. Qi.

Mr. Qi was surrounded by the enthusiasm of the people, and his face always had a smile as warm as the sun.

He nodded slightly and responded to all kinds of questions raised by the people one by one. No matter whether they were trivial family greetings or curious inquiries about his personal achievements, he never showed a trace of boredom or impatience.

At this lively moment, a few eyes in the crowd slowly shifted to the tall young man next to Mr. Qi.

Since Li Chengqian had only been to Loach Lane a few times before, for most people, he only left a faint trace in their memory.

Everyone just felt that the face of the young man in front of them seemed familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen him.

Then, a light discussion began to be heard from the back of the crowd. Everyone was trying hard to search for fragments of memory about this young man in their minds, with frowns and eyes full of confusion.

An old man suddenly raised his hand, slapped his weather-beaten head hard, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
