Shop of All Worlds: The First Customer Princess Jinyang

Chapter 121 Borrow some points
Li Zhi was beaten again.

Today, I was beaten three times by my "grandfather" for no apparent reason.

I don’t even know what I did to make Grandpa unhappy.

“Kneel here!”

"Don't stand up without my permission!"

Li Shimin rubbed his aching hands and said to Li Zhi angrily.

"Yes……"

Li Zhi's face was full of grievance, but he still knelt on the ground obediently.

Little Sizi blinked his big eyes and looked curiously at Li Zhi, who had a bruised face.

She licked the ice cream in her hand with her little tongue and asked doubtfully:

"Grandpa, why did you beat him?"

When Li Shimin heard this, his originally angry face instantly softened.

When Li Zhi saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.

He knew that Li Shimin loved his sisters the most, but he couldn't treat them differently, right?
Li Zhi felt aggrieved, but he didn't say it.

I said I would be beaten.

Li Shimin said gently to Xiao Sizi:

"He made a mistake, and it was a big mistake, so he deserves to be beaten!"

"Oh~"

Xiao Sizi said something meaningful.

"Sizi doesn't make mistakes!"

"Sizi is a good boy!"

The little Sizi grinned and said in a cute voice.

Li Shimin held his daughter in his arms and looked at Li Zhi and said:
"Look at your sister!"

"If you were half as sensible as your sister, I wouldn't have to beat you up!"

Li Zhi lowered his head.

Aren’t you being a good kid?
Compared to my eldest brother, fourth brother and others, I'm already doing very well, right?
Moreover, after he ascended the throne, he had been working diligently to govern the country and had not done anything like a corrupt ruler.

"Humph!"

Seeing that Li Zhi didn't say anything, Li Shimin snorted unhappily.

"Wu Zhao should have shaved her head and become a nun. Why did you take her back?"

"Do you know that she has a weird mind?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi looked up at Li Shimin and said:
"Grandpa, I know."

Li Zhi's words stunned Li Shimin.

Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang both looked over in confusion.

Ye Jiangnan was also a little puzzled.

"I know what Wu Zhao is thinking."

"But I have no choice."

"The Queen doesn't understand my thoughts. I can't explain it to her directly."

"Power is held by the old ministers left by my father. I need someone to be my knife and help me take back the power."

"So, I turned a blind eye to Wu Zhao's affairs."

After hearing what he said, everyone fell silent.

Li Shimin suddenly understood his son a little.

The emperor does not have enough power, and if he wants to take back power from his old ministers, it is not something that can be done with just a few words.

Otherwise, if he offended the old ministers, he might not be able to keep his position as emperor.

The best way is to not get yourself involved and have someone to take the blame for you and serve as your knife.

And Li Zhi's "knife" was the Wu Zetian who was brought back.

"Grandpa, you should be able to understand my situation!"

Li Zhi said to Li Shimin.

"The old ministers you arranged for me are certainly capable."

"But they are too conservative."

"I have a lot of political ambitions, but I have no way to realize them."

"And then there's my uncle. He's a senior official, and he's also my uncle."

"His power in the court has reached the point where he is second only to one person and above ten thousand people."

"Many things have been carried out without my consent."

"As the ruler of a country, I cannot execute the decisions and orders I make."

“How can I not take the power back from them?”

"But I can't just take the power away from them."

"My uncle and his men are old officials, and all the officials from the three provinces and six ministries are very supportive of them."

"If I rashly take back the power, I'm afraid I won't be able to be the emperor for long before my uncle and his people replace me."

"I have no choice but to use Wu Zhao as my own sword to slowly reap the power from their hands."

Li Zhi spoke very excitedly.

He was expressing his grievances.

Even though he became the emperor, many people envied him.

However, he himself was under a lot of pressure.

If he were a tyrant, he wouldn't have such great pressure.

But he can't be a tyrant.

With my grandfather in front of me, what will others say about me if I become a tyrant?
Besides, I have so many brothers.

If he really became a tyrant and caused the people to live in misery.

Before the people revolted, his brothers had already revolted and wanted to overthrow him.

"Chi Nu, come here."

Li Shimin said to Li Zhi in a low voice.

Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin in confusion, then knelt down in front of Li Shimin.

"Grandpa."

Li Zhi looked at Li Shimin with red eyes.

"Hey……"

Looking at Li Zhi, whose dragon robe was torn and whose hair was disheveled, Li Shimin sighed.

Li Shimin reached out and gently stroked Li Zhi's head.

"Pheasant, thank you for your hard work."

Li Shimin sighed.

"Grandpa, it's not hard."

Li Zhi said happily.

Although he was beaten all over by his grandfather, Li Zhi was very happy.

He met his grandfather again.

Not only that, I also met my elder sister who was still a little child.

Ye Jiangnan couldn't stand the clinginess of these two people and said:

"Okay, you two, go to the store and talk about whatever you want to say."

"It's so sad to do it here."

Li Shimin nodded.

"Sizi, Zhinu, I'll take you to the store."

"Let's have a good chat, father and son."

Xiao Sizi and Li Zhi nodded.

Li Shimin held Xiao Sizi in his arms and took Li Zhi by the hand as they walked towards the Wanjie Store.

After they left, Ying Zheng shook his head and said:
"I thought Li Zhi was a rather incompetent person, but I didn't expect that he knew everything."

Zhu Yuanzhang said softly:

"First Emperor, according to historical records, Li Zhi cannot be considered an incompetent emperor."

"After he ascended the throne, he made certain achievements in politics, economy and military."

"Moreover, after ascending the throne, the territory of the Tang Dynasty expanded a lot."

"It's a pity that after the death of those old ministers in the later period, he was restrained by Wu Zhao."

"Plus, he is in poor health and has no energy."

"This led to the tragedy of the Li family in the Tang Dynasty later on."

Qin Shi Huang sighed and said:

"Well, at least in my opinion, he is much better than Hu Hai."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not refute this.

This is indeed the case.

"If Hu Hai had Li Zhi's ability, the Qin Dynasty would not have fallen so quickly."

Ye Jiangnan said with a smile.

"However, since you already know what kind of person Hu Hai will be in the future, I think this kind of thing won't happen again in the future, right?"

Qin Shihuang nodded.

"I have already made arrangements for Hu Hai. Now I will focus on training Fu Su."

"I don't ask him to be a good person, I just hope that his temper can be corrected."

Ye Jiangnan nodded slightly.

……

Huang Rong took Qiao Feng on a tour of the Wanjie Store.

Qiao Feng also understood the role of the store.

"Miss Huang, the immortal just helped me solve a problem, how should I pay him?"

Qiao Feng asked in confusion.

"there."

Huang Rong pointed in the direction of the cashier counter.

"I'll take you there and teach you how to use it."

Huang Rong brought Qiao Feng to the cashier counter.

Just at this time, Li Shimin led Li Zhi in.

"Sister Rong!"

The little Sizi in Li Shimin's arms saw Huang Rong and greeted her happily.

"Sizi!"

Huang Rong responded with a smile.

Noticing Li Zhi following Li Shimin, Huang Rong asked curiously:
"Sizi, is this your brother?"

Little Sizi shook his head and said:
"This is not Sizi's elder brother, this is Sizi's younger brother."

Huang Rong: "???"

No matter how you look at it, Li Zhi is older than Xiao Sizi, so how come he is the younger brother?

"Grandpa, put me down. I want to play with Sister Rong."

Little Sizi struggled for a while in Li Shimin's arms.

"Go."

Li Shimin put Xiao Sizi down.

After Xiao Sizi happily ran to Huang Rong, Li Shimin said to Li Zhi:

"Let's go."

"Grandpa, my sister..."

"They are all acquaintances. It's okay."

"All right……"

Xiao Sizi held Huang Rong's hand and listened to Huang Rong explain to Qiao Feng how to use the cash register.

"I see!"

"Then I'll try."

Qiao Feng placed his palm on the screen in front of the cashier counter.

As soon as he put it on, several red lines wrapped around Qiao Feng's hand. At the same time, black words appeared on a white background on the big screen next to him.

Name: Qiao Feng

Identity: Ninth generation leader of the Beggars' Sect
Martial arts: Shaolin internal strength, Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Dragon Capturing Kung Fu, Dog Beating Stick Technique, Taizu Long Fist, Demon Subduing Palm, Paiyun Double Palms
[Please select the martial arts skills you want to exchange]

On the screen, each martial arts technique that Qiao Feng knew was surrounded by a blue box.

"Master Qiao, if you point your hand, it means you have chosen the martial arts technique you want to trade."

When Huang Rong exchanged for the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" before, she thought that she had to copy down the martial arts techniques before she could exchange it, just like before.

Later, after seeing the introduction on the screen at the checkout counter, I realized that it didn't need to be as complicated as before.

"it is good."

Qiao Feng used his hands to select all the martial arts techniques one by one.

Huang Rong widened her eyes and exclaimed:

"Master Qiao, why did you redeem them all at once?"

She originally thought that Qiao Feng would only choose one martial arts technique to exchange, but she didn't expect that Qiao Feng would choose all of them.

Are you worried that the skills are not worth the money?

But I have told him before that top-level martial arts skills are extremely valuable.

Just a book on martial arts skills is enough to become a platinum member.

"These martial arts techniques are not mine either."

"It's worthless to me."

"I might as well give it to the immortal. It will be my reward for thanking him for clearing up my doubts!"

Qiao Feng said loudly.

"This……"

Huang Rong didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, she admired Qiao Feng from the bottom of her heart.

It’s so grand!
"Exchange successful!"

"Congratulations, this time you exchanged 11.25 million coins!"

"Congratulations on becoming our most distinguished diamond member!"

"Diamond members can enjoy 30% off on all items in this store!"

"Carry your Diamond Membership Card with you to protect your personal safety forever!"

"Not only that, the Diamond Membership Card can keep you young and youthful forever!"

"at the same time……"

Not only were the benefits of the Diamond Membership Card displayed on the screen, but they were also announced in voice.

Everyone in the Wanjie Store could hear it clearly.

"Diamond Membership Card!?"

Li Shimin, who was shopping with Li Zhi, exclaimed.

"Diamond Membership Card?!"

Qin Shi Huang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were all surprised and turned their gazes to the Store of All Worlds.

Ye Jiangnan was also very surprised.

What did Qiao Feng use to exchange it?
I actually got the diamond membership card directly!
"Mr. Qiao, you can get your diamond membership card now!"

Huang Rong reminded Qiao Feng to pick up the diamond membership card floating above the cash register.

"Huh? Oh! Okay!"

Qiao Feng came back to his senses and reached out to catch the diamond membership card in the air.

Just by holding the card in his hand, he instantly felt refreshed.

At the same time, the internal force in the body instantly became like a vast ocean, surging and surging endlessly in the body.

With every flow of breath, one can clearly feel the powerful force rising and falling like the tide, as if it can break through the constraints of the body and burst out at any time.

Qiao Feng closed his eyes and silently suppressed the powerful internal strength in his body.

Slowly, he suppressed this feeling.

When Qiao Feng opened his eyes, he saw Huang Rong and Xiao Sizi looking at him.

Huang Rong couldn't help but ask:
"How do you feel, Mr. Qiao?"

"Do you feel that the internal force in your body has become much more powerful?"

Huang Rong was also practicing internal energy. She was so close to Qiao Feng that she naturally noticed the changes in Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng nodded.

"Ah."

"You just said that you can assist me and increase the internal strength in my body."

"I thought it would only improve a little, but I didn't expect it to improve a lot."

"I estimate that I will have to practice for hundreds of years to possess such a powerful internal force."

Huang Rong's eyes were filled with envy.

Her platinum membership card also has the effect of improving internal strength.

However, the improvement was not much, only about fifty or sixty years of internal strength.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Feng actually had hundreds of years of internal strength.

If I could improve my internal strength for a few hundred years, even if the Five Great Masters joined forces to deal with me, I could easily deal with them.

Xiao Sizi asked doubtfully:

"Sister Rong, Uncle Qiao, what are you talking about?"

"Why can't Sizi understand?"

Little Sizi didn’t know anything about internal strength, and he had no idea what it meant to practice for hundreds of years.

"I'll explain to you later."

Huang Rong said.

"it is good!"

Little Sizi said.

Qiao Feng looked at the diamond membership card in his hand, and then the diamond membership card turned into a ring.

This is also one of the functions of the diamond membership card.

It can be transformed into any shape the membership card owner wants, making it easy to carry.

At the same time, there is a space for the Diamond Membership Card.

Anything can be put in it except living things.

For example, if you put a piece of watermelon or meat in it, it will remain in the same state as when you put it in, and will not deteriorate or change its taste.

"Thank you Miss Huang for your answer just now!"

"Qiao went outside to look for an immortal."

After getting the membership card, Qiao Feng couldn't wait to go outside to find Ye Jiangnan.

"You're welcome!"

Huang Rong waved her hand.

Qiao Feng hurried out of the Wanjie Store. At this time, Li Shimin and Li Zhi came to the cashier counter.

"Miss Huang, has Mr. Qiao become a diamond member?"

Li Shimin came over and asked curiously.

"Well, he exchanged all his martial arts skills for a diamond membership card."

"So how many coins does he have?"

"More than 10 million coins."

"what?!"

Li Shimin left Li Zhi and Huang Rong behind and ran out of the Wanjie Store quickly.

Huang Rong: "???"

Li Zhi: “???”

"Grandpa, what happened to him?"

Li Zhi said puzzledly.

"Who knows! Your grandfather is always like this."

Huang Rong spread her hands and said speechlessly.

"Yeah! Grandpa does this all the time!"

Little Sizi echoed.

……

Outside the yard.

When Qiao Feng was halfway there, Li Shimin called him.

"Master Qiao, wait a moment!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng paused and stopped.

"Emperor Tang, what do you want from Qiao?"

Qiao Feng asked doubtfully.

Li Shimin glanced at Qiao Feng's hands, then asked:
"Mr. Qiao, did you just become a diamond member?"

Qiao Feng smiled and said:

"Yes!"

Li Shimin rubbed his hands and said:
"Then you should have a lot of coins, right?"

Qiao Feng said:
“I don’t know if it’s a lot.”

"Whether this is a lot or not, only the immortals know."

Li Shimin put his hand on Qiao Feng's shoulder and said as they walked:
"You have over 10 million coins now, which is definitely the most among us."

"I really envy you for having so many coins."

"If I go shopping, I can buy one of everything in the store and there will still be a lot left."

Qiao Feng said:
"Um... Emperor Tang, I'm not very interested in anything in the store."

Huang Rong had just taken him on a tour of the Wanjie Store, but there was nothing there that interested Qiao Feng.

Of course, it cannot be said that Qiao Feng has no interest, but rather that Qiao Feng does not care much about these things.

It’s like many people have very high requirements when it comes to food, and they must have wine and meat with every meal.

But if it were Qiao Feng, he would be able to eat even a pancake or a bowl of porridge.

"Really? Then you don't plan to use these 10 million coins?"

Li Shimin asked curiously.

"At the moment, I don't have any plans."

Qiao Feng said honestly.

Li Shimin's eyes lit up and he said quickly:

"Since you don't plan to use it right now, how about you lend me some?"

"I won't borrow too much, one million coins will be enough!"

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng suddenly stopped.

Li Shimin: "???"

"Mr. Qiao, what do you think?"

Li Shimin asked with anticipation.

"He doesn't feel that way."

Ye Jiangnan's voice came over.

Li Shimin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Ye Jiangnan, Qin Shihuang, and Zhu Yuanzhang standing in front of him and Qiao Feng at some point in time.

Qin Shihuang and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Shimin with disdain.

"Old Li, you...ah..."

Qin Shi Huang felt very ashamed.

Especially after meeting Li Shimin, I felt even more ashamed.

"Emperor Tang, I am the emperor after all, you are..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and looked at Li Shimin with a little more disgust.

Li Shimin saw their different looks and said speechlessly:
"What are you looking at?"

"I want to borrow some coins, what's wrong?"

"It's not like I won't pay it back. I'm just borrowing it temporarily."
