My timeless tavern

Chapter 520 Xiang Yu's Shock

Xiang Yu had a strange look on his face and even forgot to drink the wine in his hand.

The man in front of me looks very impressive, but what is he saying?

Could it be that he is just a useless person, a prodigal son like Qin II?
He was actually willing to support his enemy!
Liu Che smiled bitterly and shook his head.

If it hadn't been in the tavern, he could have taken off Xiang Yu's head with one hand.

However, when the other party came here, everything was different.

No one knows better than him what kind of transformation a tavern can bring to people!
If you can come here, even if you are a mediocre person, it is easy to become the ruler of a country or even control the whole world.

What’s more, the person in front of him is Xiang Yu, the biggest opponent of our ancestor Liu Bang!

He is extremely brave and is by no means without wisdom.

To say the real reason for his defeat, it should be attributed more to the lack of his own team.

His roots were not in the State of Chu, but in the Xiang family and the land of Jiangdong.

When his uncle Xiang Liang started the rebellion, the eight thousand young men from Jiangdong he brought with him were his real reliance.

Unfortunately, Xiang Liang underestimated the enemy and was defeated by Qin general Zhang Han, which ruined his family fortune.

It was for this reason that the King of Chu, who was supported by Xiang Liang, dared to openly send his chief general to take over the Chu army under the command of Xiang Yu.

If he had not turned the tide in the Battle of Julu, he would have retired along with his uncle.

It is far from enough to achieve this by relying solely on bravery.

It is an insult to his contemporary opponents to attribute his success to personal strength and his failure simply to idiotic political thinking.

From the perspective of an observer, Liu Che admired Xiang Yu very much.

Besides, now that the other party has entered the tavern, it would be easy for him to make a comeback.

Instead of making enemies with Liu Bang because of Liu Bang from another world, it is better to be more free and easy and use this opportunity to make friends with him.

In the pub, more friends mean more paths.

He is not that guy Zhu Youjian, who made enemies in the tavern for some people who have no blood relationship with him.

Maybe this action of mine could even bring some respect to the Liu family in another world.

Seeing Xiang Yu looking at him like a fool, he shook his head and said, "Brother Xiang, you have doubts because you don't know much about taverns."

Xiang Yu narrowed his eyes.

He looked around, his gaze lingering for a few seconds on the two cats sharing the roasted mouse.

The two cats stood up, put on clothes, and could even speak human language!

Thinking that there were immortals here, his mood eased a little.

"Could he mean that I can ask the gods for help?" Xiang Yu suddenly had an idea.

But soon, he felt it was not realistic.

Unless the guy in front of him who calls himself Liu Che is a pig, it is impossible for him to sit idly by and watch him openly ask others for help to kill his ancestor.

"For him to say that, there must be something he can't stop." Xiang Yu thought to himself.

Unconsciously, his temperament was no longer as depressed as before, but became more ambitious.

"Brother Xiang looks injured, so why not drink this glass of wine first." A wine glass appeared in Liu Che's hand.

Seeing this magic-like trick, Xiang Yu was secretly shocked.

Faced with the wine handed to him by Liu Che, he hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it.

Seeing that several people were looking at him with a smile, he paused for half a second, said thank you, and drank the wine in one gulp.

This place is so magical, the owner of this place must be extraordinary.

Then in such a place, the other party would certainly not dare to act presumptuously.

If it were possible to murder him with a poisoned drink, it would not matter whether he drank it or not.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xiang Yu's eyes lit up slightly.

Even with just a slight touch of the tip of his tongue, the wine went down his throat and the wonderful taste still made him look pleased.

"Good wine!" he praised.

This was the first time he had ever seen such fine wine!
When the wine fell into his abdomen, he felt a burning sensation spreading from his abdomen.

Xiang Yu's expression froze and he felt an itch in his abdomen.

He tore off his armor and saw the scabbed wound on his abdomen wriggling at a speed visible to the naked eye. As it healed bit by bit, his face was full of disbelief.

But within a few breaths, all the wounds on his body healed, without even a scar left.

Not only that, he felt that his body seemed to have become even stronger. The power filling his body made him feel that he could fight his way into the Han army again!
Xiang Yu grasped the sword in his hand, exerted a little force with his palm, and suddenly a series of crackling sounds were heard.

He looked down at the deformed hilt of the sword, smiled easily, and looked across.

"This wine is called Green Devil Strengthening Wine, which can enhance your physical fitness tenfold..." Facing his gaze, Liu Che smiled.

He had a lot of this Green Devil fortified wine worth 500 time and space coins, and he rewarded Huo Qubing with a glass a few days ago.

Xiang Yu's smile gradually stopped.

He asked seriously: "Why are you helping me?"

He thought about it over and over again, but still had no idea why Liu Che did this.

"We are all friends who can come to the tavern, so we should help each other." Liu Che said with a smile, "Besides, I said that even without my help, Brother Xiang can easily make a comeback and regain the world!"

Xiang Yu was puzzled and looked at them and asked, "Can you explain it clearly?"

Li Shimin pointed to the bar and said, "Brother Xiang, just look at the wine list and you'll know."

Xiang Yu turned his head doubtfully.

When his eyes fixed on the wine list, the contents suddenly jumped into his mind.

Those kinds of fine wines with incredible powers instantly made his breathing become heavy.

He clenched his fists subconsciously, his eyes unblinking, looking more serious than ever before.

Several people looked at him quietly.

As people who have experienced it, they can all understand Xiang Yu's mentality.

Even a saint cannot remain indifferent when seeing so many treasures.

After a while, Xiang Yu reluctantly looked away.

He took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "Before, I was lamenting that God wanted to kill me, but I didn't expect that God would be so kind to me!"

Shortly before entering the tavern, he had just experienced a difficult situation where he was surrounded by enemies.

Yu Ji danced one last dance for him, and not wanting to drag him down, she committed suicide.

He led hundreds of cavalrymen to break out of the encirclement of the Han army, but was endlessly pursued.

Seeing that there were only dozens of people left around him, he became disheartened knowing that the situation was hopeless. Even if he reached the bank of the Wujiang River, he did not want to cross the river and planned to die in style.

He reviewed his thirty years of life.

The young man was full of chivalry and was not good at either literature or martial arts, but he learned both literature and martial arts under the order of his uncle.

He had lofty ambitions and was never willing to be inferior to others. When he learned that his uncle Xiang Liang intended to rebel, his excitement was beyond words.

He was very successful all the way, which made him feel complacent. However, misfortune struck him as his uncle was defeated and died in the battle with the Qin army.

Most of the Jiangdong young men who led the rebellion were killed or injured, and the Xiang family's foundation was burned to ashes!
The King of Chu took the opportunity to seize power and let Song Yi replace Xiang Liang as the chief general.

The King of Chu was eyeing them covetously from within, 400,000 Qin troops were pressing in from outside, and the armies of the various princes each had their own ulterior motives.

Faced with this desperate situation, Xiang Yu brazenly attacked and killed Song Yi, took control of the Chu army, fought a desperate battle, and defeated the Qin army in Julu, thus establishing his position in the Chu army and the coalition forces of princes.

This is the battle he is most proud of!
After this battle, they fought their way into Xianyang City, only to find that Liu Bang had taken the city first. How could he not know what his father-in-law said?

But his foundation was still shallow, while Liu Bang was the first person to capture the city of Xianyang and his contributions were great.

In this situation, if he killed him rashly, he would certainly be able to kill a powerful enemy, but at the same time it would also allow the coalition forces of princes who were already wary of him to take advantage of this opportunity to attack him.

If it were just them, it would be fine, but the King of Chu is still harboring evil intentions, and there are many in the Chu army who are not in harmony with him.

After all, he is not Liu Bang, who has many old friends and relatives under him.

Even though he relied on Han Xin, he knew that all the key positions in the army were held by Liu Bang's people.

If one day Liu Bang had a rift with Han Xin, he could remove his military power at any time.

But what does he have?
A few months ago, he learned that his uncle had died tragically, and he was as frightened as a dog that had lost its home!

Others only saw his smugness, but were unaware of his cautiousness.

A victory could allow him to gain his current status, but a crushing defeat could make him disappear in an instant!
But he was indeed carried away by victory.

He killed the surrendered Qin King Ziying, burned down the Afang Palace, and offended countless Qin people.

He was instigated by others and drove his father away in anger.

He was self-righteous and looked down on the people of the world, and failed to make use of many famous people who came to him for help.

Apart from underestimating the threat posed by Liu Bang, his biggest regret was that he left himself too little time.

Only more than five years have passed since the Battle of Julu.

With such a short period of time, he had barely cleared the internal obstacles and had no time to train more members!

Even for those famous scholars who came to him for surrender, he did not dare to use them immediately, for fear that they had other intentions.

He can't afford to lose!

"Fortunately, I have the opportunity to start over." Xiang Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Why thank God? It's you who gave us the opportunity," Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Xiang Yu came back to his senses and quickly corrected: "Yes, thank you very much, sir!"

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

Su Luo, who was sitting by the window and flipping through a book, heard several people mention him.

He chuckled and shook his head, turning another page in the book in front of him.

"What is time and space currency?" Xiang Yu suddenly asked.

He saw the wide variety of fine wines on the wine list, and each one made him particularly excited.

What shocked him the most was that the Green Devil's enhanced wine, which could almost transform a person, cost only 500 time and space coins.

Although he knew that these five hundred time and space coins were probably not a small amount, he still had some hope in his heart.

What if five hundred space-time coins aren’t enough?

Ying Zheng explained it to him with a smile.

Xiang Yu was tactful enough not to think too much about his extraordinary possessions.

He thought highly of himself, but he also knew that what he had was nothing compared to what was on the wine list.

Even if it was the Emperor's Heart Wine worth fifty time and space coins, he still felt that he was not good enough.

The Emperor's Heart Wine comes from the great Qin ruler who unified the six kingdoms. No matter how confident and unwilling he is, he is ultimately just a loser!

Therefore, he was more concerned about another way of exchange.

"One kilogram of gold can be exchanged for one time-space coin?" Xiang Yu was surprised.

"One kilogram is roughly equivalent to about four pounds in your place," Ying Zheng said.

"Great!" Xiang Yu said excitedly.

He originally thought that the value of the space-time coin would be even higher!

If this is the exchange method, as long as I rob Liu Bang and other princes one by one, tens of thousands of time and space coins will be easy to get.

With so many time and space coins in hand, they are enough to exchange for many good things!

The first generation of Blood Demon Wine that can prolong life for a thousand years only costs five thousand Time and Space Coins!

Even if we retreat back to Jiangdong and collect some, we can at least get thousands or tens of thousands of time and space coins, which is enough to change the current situation.

Xiang Yu's eyes sparkled and he felt that the future was bright.

Liu Che smiled and said, "Brother Xiang, do you understand now?"

Xiang Yu nodded heavily.

He looked at Liu Che and said, "I will return that glass of Green Devil Enhanced Wine to you as soon as possible!"

Liu Che smiled and said, "I said I would support you, what else?"

Xiang Yu was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Then I will refuse it with disrespect."

He also said: "When I conquer the world, I will make Liu Bang the Marquis of Hanzhong."

Liu Che laughed and raised his glass, saying, "Although I have no such intention, Brother Xiang is willing to give me this face. I still have to thank Brother Xiang on behalf of the Liu family in that world!"

Xiang Yu let go of his worries, the sadness between his brows disappeared, and he looked very heroic.

He raised his glass and said, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

The atmosphere between the few people gradually became harmonious.

Xiang Yu took the opportunity to turn the topic to Li Shimin.

Among these people, he was most curious about Li Shimin.

He knew Ying Zheng, and Liu Che and his Han Empire were also within his expectations. Only Li Shimin made him feel extremely unfamiliar.

After hearing the conversation between Ying Zheng and Liu Che, he realized that the other party had actually lived nearly a thousand years ago.

This made him even more curious.

Li Shimin smiled and roughly recounted what had happened over the past few hundred years, and even talked about the future.

Upon learning that the imperial system was coming to an end, Xiang Yu was curious but also felt a little emotional.

Talking about his excitement, Li Shimin also turned on the watch Tony gave him, turned on the three-dimensional light screen, and showed the video of his earlier trip to the modern world with Gao Yao.

Xiang Yu was amazed by the towering skyscrapers, the endless flow of cars and the crowded crowds.

“Is this the future?” he asked.

"Our future will be even more exciting." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

In just over a year, Daqin has traveled a distance that many other worlds have not been able to travel in thousands of years.

He is full of confidence in the future.

"Let me show you the army of the future!" Li Shimin smiled and opened another video.

That was what he saw when he visited the military in that world.

Gao Yao does not have high ambitions. He can travel between the two worlds and possesses invincible strength in that world, but he is too lazy to be the "Lord of the World". Instead, he cooperates with the government of modern society to jointly develop another Daqin.

Because of this, he has a good relationship with the government and is happy to help connect some guests in the tavern with the government of that world.

The Tang Dynasty now has a group of experts sent by the world government, and the two sides have reached a series of deals, including arms.

Li Shimin did not say so much, but showed Xiang Yu a video of the modern army.

Looking at those guns, artillery, tanks, planes, missiles...

Xiang Yu’s eyes almost popped out.
