Chapter 21 Li Bai and Dugu Jiujian



Li Bai was actually also hesitating.

It is the ambition of every scholar to serve as an official in the court and bring honor to the family.

As the son of a businessman, he suffered from indifference and was even more eager to stand out.

But you know the world is in chaos, and even if you become an official, you probably won't be able to live in peace for a few years. Your friend's choice is more realistic.

Especially after getting in touch with the tavern, all these advantages can be better utilized in the army.

But is he really suitable for the military? He has never been able to tolerate those rules and regulations, and the discipline in the army is strict...

Looking up at the wine list, Li Bai hesitated for a moment, then fixed his eyes on the Dharma Sword Wine worth 50 Time and Space Coins.

"Improve your martial arts first."

"Even if the world is in chaos, I might be able to accomplish something with my superb martial arts."

After making the decision, Li Bai said, "Sir, I want a cup of Dharma Sword Technique..."

"etc."

Before he could finish his words, a voice suddenly interrupted him.

Ying Zheng strode over.

"I think 'Nine Swords of Dugu' is more suitable for you!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Li Bai was slightly startled and glanced at the wine list again.

You read that right, the Dugu Nine Swords is worth a full 100 Spacetime Coins! If it was just him, he would have bought it long ago, but he knew that his friends needed it more than he did.

"Brother Zheng is joking." Li Bai shook his head.

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "How about I help you?"

Li Bai hesitated for a moment and asked, "What does Brother Zheng want?"

Su Luo folded his arms across his chest, watching the two of them silently, and found the scene quite interesting.

Ying Zheng laughed loudly: "Although this is our first meeting, I can see that you are bold and unrestrained, not fussy about details, and quite like a banished immortal."

"Brother Zheng, you are so kind."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "But with your personality, it may be difficult for you to become an official."

Seeing Li Bai frowning, he asked: "If you were in charge of a region, how would you govern it?"

"If things don't work out, rituals and music won't flourish, so we should promote rituals and music education!" Li Bai said seriously.

"What if someone commits murder?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Officials should be clear about virtue and be cautious in punishment, govern with virtue, balance leniency and severity, use virtue as the main principle and punishment as the auxiliary, and limit the crime to the individual. Rather than killing the innocent, it is better to let the innocent go..."

After saying a lot of things, Li Bai changed the subject: "And the murderer should pay with his life!"

Ying Zheng laughed and said, "What if that person is from a wealthy family?"

"So what if he's from a wealthy family?" Li Bai said righteously.

"What if that person is a king, a prince, a general or a minister?"

"A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner!"

Hearing Li Bai's answer, Ying Zheng smiled without saying anything and just looked at him.

Li Bai quickly lowered his head in dejection.

He knew that what he said was too idealistic and could not be implemented in reality.

If this world is truly fair and just, why couldn't he even get an official position?

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!" Ying Zheng waved his hand and said, "The world we live in is a big ball. Whether it is the Qin Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, they are just in a small corner!"

"Since we can enter this place, it is possible for us to become immortals in the future. Do you still want to waste your time in officialdom?"

A flash of inspiration came to Li Bai's mind, and the frustration on his face suddenly disappeared.

Yes, being able to enter this mysterious tavern that knows everything about the past and present, and seeing such extraordinary weapons, why should I cling to the achievements of ordinary people? Seeing Li Bai's appearance, Ying Zheng nodded and smiled, "With your talent, you should travel all over the world, go to the distant west to see the civilization of those barbarians, go to the northern polar regions to see the habitats of those giant white bears..."

Under Ying Zheng's instigation, Li Bai became more and more interested.

But in a flash, he realized Ying Zheng's intention: "Brother Zheng, do you want me to help you look at those places?"

Ying Zheng smiled and nodded.

Although the two are not in the same time and space, they still have some similarities.

He wanted to use Li Bai as his eyes to see the customs, topography and landforms of different places for himself, so that he could conquer the world in the future.

Of course, the key purpose was that he wanted to make friends with this genius who was able to enter the tavern.

Ying Zheng's proposal actually fits his idea very well.

Compared to being a politician, he would rather travel the world with a sword! Seeing Li Bai holding a glass of wine and clinking glasses with Ying Zheng, Su Luo suddenly had an idea in his mind.

Will Li Bai write a book called "Li Bai's Global Travels" one day? ...

In the following days, the tavern became much more lively.

Ying Yinman, Xiao Longnu and others who "ordered meals" would come to the tavern as usual every day.

Li Bai and Gao Shi were either practicing or watching videos together in the tavern.

Unfortunately, Su Luo's income from space-time coins is very limited.

The two kinds of skills were not sold, which in turn helped Su Luo's own internal strength grow to a hundred years.

Spider-Man's power wine is too expensive, so no one is willing to buy it.

Instead, the weakened version of Spider-Man fortified wine was bought by Xiaolongnu and Ying Zheng.

During this period, Secretary Liang came to find Su Luo again and almost ran into Li Bai and others in the store.

Not interested in bargaining over the "demolition compensation", Su Luo made a few excuses and drove him away.

Even though the other party had an ugly look on his face and made threats before leaving, Su Luo didn't care.

He can kill this kind of ant with just one hand.

Seven days had passed since Li Bai and Gao Shi first stepped into the tavern.

Inside the pub.

Ying Yinman and Xiaolongnu sat together, eating melon seeds, staring at the tablet and chatting in low voices.

Su Luo found it interesting to see Xiaolongnu's occasional bright smile.

He guessed that this girl who was always serious might not be cold-hearted by nature, but had been lonely in the ancient tomb for too long.

Li Bai and Gao Shi did not come today.

The day before, Su Luo had heard that Li Bai had some insights into "Nine Swords of Dugu" and planned to practice it in seclusion for a while.

He seemed to be particularly talented in this sword technique.

Peter hurriedly sold two tubes of blood yesterday and then hurried back. It seemed that things were not going very smoothly for him.

"It's time for a new guest."

Su Luo turned his eyes away from the panel and muttered to himself.

It has been nearly a month since I got the Space-Time Tavern, and the turnover is only more than 8,000, which is still ten times away from being upgraded to level two.

This made him feel a little regretful.

He was also looking forward to seeing if there would be any new changes to the tavern after the upgrade.

Time passes by little by little.

The sky gradually darkened.

Seeing that no new people came, Su Luo scratched his hair and shook his head in frustration.

He knew that the tavern could connect to a new dimension every seven days.

But it was already dark today, and most of the guests in the pub had left, with no new people coming in.

Was that guy lost? Or was he so cautious that he didn't dare to come over even after finding the entrance?

He glanced around and saw that only Xiao Longnu was in the corner, staring intently at the tablet.

The volume of the tablet was very low, and he could barely make out that it was a palace fighting drama.

It seems that it was recommended by Ying Yinman earlier.

Su Luo put down his phone and stretched.

He was going upstairs to wash up.

The business opened early today, and if no new customers arrived, he planned to go to bed early.

After saying hello to Xiaolongnu and asking her to keep an eye out for him, when a new person came to call him, Su Luo slowly walked up the stairs.

Just as he turned on the shower and was taking a pleasant shower, a group of uninvited guests broke into the pub.

Can you please give me a ticket? It's very uncomfortable to play alone.      (End of this chapter)
