My timeless tavern

Chapter 550 Jing Ke, Su Shi and The Horse Herder

"You gave them Jianmu and three cups of wine?" asked Zhatian Shi Hao curiously.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and nodded: "Three cups of Daoxing wine, for Shen Gongbao's three new disciples."

"What about Shen Gongbao and the two dragons? Will they have any objections?" Xiao Yan asked.

His strength is a little behind the other two, but it feels not far behind either.

He was naturally extremely curious about the two's current situation.

"I have other arrangements for them." Yuanshi Tianzun said.

He took a sip of wine and slowly told his plan.

Rely on sacrifices and receive rewards and treasures, which in his plan belong only to those who are native to the country.

They have only been practicing for a short time, and it would be difficult for them to achieve anything without the assistance of external treasures.

Shen Gongbao and the two dragons he brought with him did not belong to that world.

Even though the two were his disciples, they did not have his indelible mark on them like the local people.

If they ever reach the strength of a wall breaker, they should belong to the tavern, not him.

Although he was willing to train talents for the tavern, his arrangements for several people were mainly to guide and train local masters of that new world.

Therefore, the rewards he bestowed on these people depended on the number of masters and prosperity of the Chan sect in that world.

“I will use this opportunity to help them accumulate merit points. Then I will draw up a wine list and a collection list for them to choose from,” said Yuanshi Tianzun.

Shi Hao nodded and said, "This is a good idea."

He had not yet discovered the new world and felt greatly inspired by the other party's approach.

Xiao Yan and Yang Jian, who were sitting at the same table, complimented him a few times.

The two of them had been rushing in and out of the tavern these past few days. It was a rare opportunity that they ran into Yuanshi Tianzun and Zhatian Shihao, so they couldn't help but chat for a while.

While the four of them were chatting, many people were paying attention to them.

They all represent the strongest people in the tavern.

The Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong who were new to the tavern were them.

But they just glanced at each other for a few times and then shifted their attention to the drinking party in front of them.

There were also a lot of people around them.

In addition to the familiar Tianpeng, there are also Li Xiaoyao, Gus and Bai Xiaofei from the Corpse Brother dimension.

Xu Xiang, who came from the plane below the aliens, sat at the same table with several others.

Among them, Xu Xiang is the weakest.

Compared with the others, the upper limit of the masters in his plane is slightly lower, and there are far fewer treasures.

But with Feng Baobao's relationship, no one will look down on him.

Looking at the Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong standing there arm in arm, calling each other brothers, Xu Xiang felt quite weird, thinking that these gods were no different from those old foxes in officialdom.

He still remembered how two days ago when Sun Wukong was instigated to secretly bring Taishang Laojun's flat-horned blue ox to the tavern and sold it, the Bull Demon King was furious when he heard the news after Sun Wukong left.

Sun Wukong also often mocked his "good brother" in private. A few days ago, he told him about how the other party got lost in the Heavenly Palace, disguised himself as a wild bull, and was almost slaughtered.

"Immortals also understand the ways of the world." Xu Xiang thought to himself.

When he glanced at Feng Baobao talking to Ying Yinman at the bar, all the mixed emotions in his heart disappeared and his expression softened.

When he saw Feng Baobao's much more natural smile, his whole heart became gentle, and he was filled with infinite gratitude towards the tavern.

The improvement in strength and status that the tavern brought to him was not as pleasing to him as the changes in Feng Baobao.

He knew very well that if it weren't for this place, he would never have the hope of seeing Feng Baobao's smiling face in his life.

It had been more than a month when Xu Xiang saw Feng Baobao's smiling face again.

These days he was busy with some things in the original world. Every time he went to the tavern, he came and went in a hurry and rarely chatted with Feng Baobao.

Over the past month, some new faces have appeared in the pub.

After Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong, the first person to come to the tavern was a chivalrous hero named Jing Ke.

The first people who met Jing Ke were Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Zhu Di, Liu Bei and Cao Cao, who were chatting about their experiences in modern times.

They had just recently received an invitation from Xu Sanduo to visit his world.

Xu Sanduo didn't have much knowledge originally, but after coming to the tavern, he made a lot of progress through what he saw and heard.

His character remains the same as always, loyal to the country and dedicated to his duties.

The decision to invite so many people was made by the country's top leaders, who wanted to take the opportunity to deepen the connection with these different worlds.

For these ancient emperors, the modern world is like a wonderland, and all kinds of technological products fascinate them.

Even though the existence of the pub made them less concerned about these things, they were still quite shocked when they saw the skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of traffic.

For modern society, these ancient worlds are also mountains of gold waiting to be developed.

Xu Sanduo was just a leader. When these emperors visited him, they were treated with extremely high standards and a lot of cooperation was achieved.

When Jing Ke came to the tavern, several people had just returned and were talking enthusiastically about what they had seen and heard and their own thoughts, and they were also having a fierce argument.

As the quarrel became more intense, Jing Ke appeared.

Seeing that Zhu Di and Cao Cao were arguing fiercely, Ying Zheng tried to ease the mood with the help of this newcomer.

Then he learned the identity of the newcomer.

Jing Ke!

When Jing Ke excitedly talked about his acquaintance with Prince Dan of Yan and his plan to assassinate the King of Qin, everyone's expressions were very strange.

When Jing Ke noticed that the others were silent, he realized something was wrong.

He had just learned about the extraordinary nature of the tavern from a few people, but he still didn't know much about the identities of the people and many of the inside stories of the tavern.

It was only when Ying Zheng took the initiative to introduce himself that he realized what had happened.

The person he wanted to assassinate was right in front of him!
Jing Ke was so scared that he almost pulled out his dagger on the spot.

But Ying Zheng was so cunning that he smiled and told him that he was not the Ying Zheng that the other party wanted to assassinate.

In order to dispel Jing Ke's doubts, he also took out the video of "Jing Ke Assassinating the King of Qin" and let Jing Ke watch it and explained it to him.

He told the other party that it was not incomprehensible that he wanted to assassinate the King of Qin, and helped him analyze how to make the assassination successful.

These words made Jing Ke confused, thinking that the person in front of him was Ying Zheng's enemy.

The others guessed Ying Zheng's intention, and they all smiled and said nothing, watching Ying Zheng's performance.

After Ying Zheng presented Jing Ke with a specially modified pistol and demonstrated its power to him on the spot, Jing Ke was so moved that he almost cried.

Seeing his expression of "a gentleman will die for his friend", Li Shimin began to interrupt and tell Jing Ke the historical inevitability of Qin Shi Huang unifying the world.

Liu Bei mentioned the benefits of a unified world to the people.

Zhu Di spoke seriously about the achievements of the King of Qin.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, stood from the perspective of the Zhou emperor, claiming that none of the major princes were innocent, and persuaded Jing Ke to follow the trend of the world.

If he had not come to the tavern, Jing Ke would have scoffed at this.

He was a generous and righteous man who was treated with courtesy by Prince Dan of Yan. After hearing about the cruelty of the King of Qin, he decided to die bravely and bring the King of Qin down.

However, when he met Ying Zheng at this time, the other party called him "Brother" all the time and treated him with even greater courtesy, which made him flattered.

Even if the other party claimed that they were not in the same world and were not the one he wanted to assassinate, how could he ignore it?

Not to mention that they were both Ying Zheng, even if they were people with the same name and surname, it would be difficult for him to take action. Jing Ke's face was full of confusion.

If he did not assassinate the King of Qin, he would feel guilty towards Prince Dan and would go against his own promise.

But killing the King of Qin with the pistol given by Ying Zheng was even more unjust!
The more Ying Zheng told him not to worry about himself and to go ahead and assassinate the King of Qin, the more difficult it became for him to do so.

Li Shimin and several others took turns to persuade them.

"If we kill the King of Qin, will the Qin State be destroyed?"

"Even if the Qin State is destroyed, there are still the Chu State, the Qi State, and the Jin State... There will always be someone who can destroy the Yan State and unify China!"

……

As the others talked, Jing Ke became more and more shaken.

He even had the urge to commit suicide.

Seeing that he was undecided, Ying Zheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, since you are in a dilemma, why don't you become the master who unifies the world yourself?"

Jing Ke refused again and again.

He really had no interest in such things.

His dream is to be a knight who studies, fencing and travels around the world.

"Or you can ask all countries to negotiate peace and restore the system of the Zhou emperor?" Ying Zheng said again.

Jing Ke hesitated even more.

He did not take the influence of the current Zhou emperor seriously.

He owed a favor to Prince Dan of Yan, and was torn because of Ying Zheng's advice in the tavern. He had no friendship with the Emperor of Zhou, who had almost no presence.

Guessing his thoughts, Ying Zheng smiled and expressed his own thoughts.

What he said was not to restore the status of the Zhou emperor, but to let Jing Ke unify the major vassal states with his personal strength.

"This can be considered as completing the commission given by Prince Dan of Yan, right?" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

"Will the King of Qin agree?" Jing Ke doubted.

Ying Zheng smiled and introduced to him the extraordinary wines and treasures in the tavern, which left Jing Ke dumbfounded.

He took the initiative to say that if the other party was worried, he could go to the other party's world in person to persuade them.

After learning Ying Yinman's identity, Jing Ke was shocked to the point of numbness.

He agreed to Ying Zheng's suggestion.

To Ying Zheng, this was just a trivial episode in his daily life.

He was naturally happy to help himself in another world.

He believed that if Ying Zheng was not too stupid, he would be able to profit from it.

As for Prince Dan of Yan...

Ying Zheng never regarded it as a threat.

Even if Jing Ke really killed the King of Qin, he didn't think it was a big deal.

He is not Zhu Youjian, and he would not make enemies with the guests in the tavern just because of some strangers.

Ying Zheng's casual action caused turmoil in another world.

Jing Ke was so busy every day that he had no time to rest, and he always looked worried.

It was not until Li Yunlong took the initiative to talk to him and introduced him to Zhao Gang that he felt his thoughts became much clearer.

When Jing Ke was pulled into the "revolutionary circle", the tavern also welcomed new guests.

This person's name is Su Shi.

When he entered the tavern, he had been demoted one after another and was in a state of frustration.

However, the hardships of life allowed him to bring out his talents in poetry and literature more fully.

The extraordinaryness of the tavern naturally shocked him beyond words.

What surprised him most was not the extraordinary wine and treasures, but the guests.

Li Bai, Du Fu, Gao Shi, Tang Bohu...

These famous historical figures made Su Shi very happy.

Talking about poetry and painting with these people, he felt like he was in a dream.

He never imagined that he would meet such talented people in history.

Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, Liu Che, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin...

These kings made him so excited that he was in a trance.

More than once he had fantasized about living in the era of these wise rulers, gaining their respect and being able to display his talents.

When communicating with these emperors, they displayed such an approachable attitude, even calling each other brothers, which made Su Shi, who was used to the fickleness of human nature, deeply moved.

He was not stupid and could imagine that if it weren't for the tavern, these people would not be so enthusiastic towards him.

Even so, he still felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

Su Shi integrated into the tavern in just a few days.

He felt unprecedented joy chatting and drinking with others every day, talking about family and national affairs.

As for how he could use the resources in the tavern to realize his ambitions, whether to replace the emperor as some people had urged, or to eliminate the monarchy and allow the people to rule democratically, he had not yet made a decision.

He is not like Li Bai, Du Fu and others, who have more thoughts and ideas after experiencing the ups and downs of officialdom.

After Su Shi, a man in a vest entered the tavern.

When they first saw him, many people subconsciously thought of Xu Fugui.

After all, the man in front of him was too similar to Xu Fugui in terms of his clothing and aura.

The only difference is that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looks much better than Xu Fugui, and his neither humble nor arrogant temperament also attracts the curiosity of many people.

Only after questioning Uncle Nine, Huang Feihong, Xiang Shaolong and others who first contacted him did they learn the identity of this newcomer.

His name was Xu Lingjun, and he lived in an era similar to Fugui.

Faced with the questions from several guests, Xu Lingjun, after a few drinks, did not hide anything and told them all his life experience.

When he was young, his father abandoned him and his mother and went abroad.

When he grew up, he was labeled a "rightist" and sent to work on a ranch. The day-to-day work with no future in sight almost made him lose the courage to live.

With the care of the herdsmen, he gradually integrated into the life on the ranch and met Li Xiuzhi, who had fled famine from Sichuan and Chongqing, through an introduction.

The couple got to know each other, fell in love, and their life gradually got back on track. After giving birth to a lovely child, his father suddenly returned from abroad and wanted to take him away to inherit the inheritance.

"I didn't agree to his request," Xu Lingjun said. "Although life abroad is prosperous, my wife is better, my children are lovely, and the country still needs my help. How could I do the same thing he did back then?"

His tone was frank, which made the people in front of him stand in awe.

Su Luo naturally heard the conversation between several people.

Looking at Xu Lingjun's gentle face, he secretly felt moved and thought that this guy was lucky to marry such a gentle woman from Sichuan and Chongqing.

He knew very well that the plane Xu Lingjun came from was called "The Shepherd".

So much so that when he saw the other person, the words involuntarily emerged in his mind: "Lao Xu, do you want a wife or not?"
