Seeing Yu Huatian's expression changing constantly, Zhu Chongba became confused.

He had nothing, and he had no food to eat. He was a beggar who was not even a wandering monk. But why did he have such an expression?

It was as if I had taken advantage of him.

Could it be that the vicious dog that was slaughtered last time was his?

But if the vicious dog hadn't chased him relentlessly, he wouldn't have been able to kill and eat it.

Gao Yao suddenly slapped his forehead and said with sudden realization: "I know!"

He pointed at Zhu Chongba and said, "You are Zhu Yuanzhang!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused for a moment.

The name "Zhu Yuanzhang" sounds good, much better than his own name "Zhongba", but it is obviously unfamiliar.

Gao Yao has made up a lot of knowledge recently and has learned a lot about the founding emperors of past dynasties.

The Beggar Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang knew this better than anyone else.

He looked Zhu Chongba up and down and asked excitedly, "Your great-grandfather was Zhu Bailiu, your great-great-grandfather was Zhu Sijiu, your grandfather was Zhu Chuyi, and your father was Zhu Wusi. Is that so?"

Zhu Chongba was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"

Gao Yao laughed, pointed at Yu Huatian and said, "Brother Yu, tell me about it!"

Thinking of the arrogant behavior of Emperor Yu Huatian taking off his boots while the imperial concubine slept with him, he found it interesting and decided to see how this guy would handle it.

Zhu Chongba turned his head and looked at Yu Huatian.

A thought suddenly came to his mind.

Could it be that my future self will be very powerful?

Yu Huatian suppressed the strange look on his face and smiled at Zhu Chongba, saying, "Speaking of which, we are quite predestined to meet each other."

"What?" Zhu Chongba became more and more curious.

He stared closely at the man in front of him.

Seeing her elegant temperament and indescribable nobleness, he felt a sense of honor.

Could it be that this guy is the future emperor, and I am the general he relies on most?

"I am the Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Wanli honors me as the Father of the Nation..." Yu Huatian said calmly, and finally said, "The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was named Zhu Yuanzhang, formerly known as Zhu Chongba."

As his voice fell, Zhu Yuanzhang was completely stunned.

He pointed at his nose and said in disbelief: "Me? The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yu Huatian nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, Brother Zhu will be the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly grabbed Yu Huatian's arm and said with great effort: "Brother Yu, please tell me how I became the emperor!"

Looking at his excited expression, Gao Yao blinked blankly, feeling suspicious.

Could it be that this guy didn't understand the metaphor of "Father of the Nation"? He is riding on the heads of your descendants and acting like a father.

Wait, being a father...

Gao Yao suddenly looked at Yu Huatian with a strange look in his eyes.

He suddenly understood the reason for the flash of confusion in Yu Huatian's eyes earlier.

It turned out that he recognized an ancestor for himself! Thinking of Zhu Chongba's identity, he suddenly realized it.

Now this guy is a beggar who has no food to eat. Why would he care about someone harming his descendants?

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang like this, Yu Huatian felt inexplicably relieved.

After discovering Zhu Yuanzhang entering the tavern, he realized one thing.

Although there are a few mortals among the guests invited to the tavern, most of them are elites from various worlds.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty should belong to the elite category.

It seems that more and more Ming emperors will join in the future.

He didn't want to make so many enemies for no reason, so he would be happy to improve the relationship.

Not to mention that he also had an enemy, Zhao Huaian, in his original world, who had been silently watching him.

If the Ming emperors who enter the tavern in the future unite to support Zhao Huaian and then target himself, that would be endless trouble.

On the contrary, if he could gain the approval of Zhu Yuanzhang, his position as the emperor would be as secure as a rock, and even Zhao Huaian would have to respect him as the Father of the Nation.

Yu Huatian quickly made a plan in his mind.

He asked with a smile: "Brother Zhu, have you not joined the rebel army yet?"

"To be honest, I just received a letter from a good friend inviting me to join the army," said Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yu Huatian nodded slightly, and immediately added him to Guo Zixing's army. He was appreciated by Guo Zixing, married his adopted daughter Miss Ma, and then overcame all obstacles step by step... fought against Chen Youliang and other princes, and finally expelled the Tartars and rebuilt China.

After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's blood boiled.

He even doubted whether Yu Huatian was talking about him.

But seeing the serious expressions of the other party and Gao Yao, he gradually became more confident.

"If a group of barbarians on the grassland can rule the world, why can't I become the master of China!" Zhu Yuanzhang secretly clenched his fists, ambition growing in his heart.

Originally, he did not have such ambition at that time. Even in his dreams, he only dared to think that he could become a big landlord with thousands of acres of fertile land. However, Yu Huatian's words aroused his ambition in advance.

"Brother Zhu, what are your plans for the future?" Yu Huatian asked.

Zhu Chongba thought for a moment and replied, "Since you said that my uprising started from joining the rebel army, then I will follow the will of heaven!"

Gao Yao shook his head and was about to speak when he heard Yu Huatian say, "Brother Zhu is already here, why bother?"

"Brother Yu, what do you mean?" Zhu Chongba seemed to understand.

He was naturally aware of the extraordinary nature of the tavern, and vaguely knew that there were some extraordinary things here, but his pockets were cleaner than his face now, and he knew that even if there really was an elixir here, he would not be able to get it.

After seeing the ups and downs of human nature over the years, he is no longer the cowherd he used to be and understands that there is no free lunch in the world.

Just like when he went to beg at those wealthy families living in high-walled courtyards, he couldn't even get past the gatekeeper, and if he continued to pester them, he might get beaten up, and it was common for him to be chased by vicious dogs.

On the contrary, it was the small families who did not live a wealthy life who could occasionally get some food to barely fill their stomachs.

But that's all, they will only give a little alms, and if the benefactor comes repeatedly, he will become an enemy.

Of course, he is not without sense of propriety.

Although the tavern is magical, I think the human nature is also magical.

Yu Huatian glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you know what the most precious thing in the tavern is?"

Zhu Chongba answered without hesitation: "Of course it is people like Brother Ruyu and Brother Gao who come from different worlds."

This subtle flattery made Yu Huatian slightly stunned, and Gao Yao was even more delighted.

Yu Huatian quickly came to his senses and couldn't help but look up at Zhu Chongba in front of him.

He realized that this guy might not really be flattering him.

He had been in the tavern for quite some time and knew that those extraordinary things were all sold to the tavern by various guests.

In this case, aren't these guests the most valuable people in the tavern?

Of course, Yu Huatian is very self-aware and knows who the truly valuable customers are. People like him are the lucky ones who have really gotten a great bargain.

"Brother Zhu's insights are amazing!" He praised him first, then shook his head and said, "But that's not what I want to say."

Zhu Chongba quickly picked up a sweet-scented osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it whole before standing up.

Gao thought for a moment, raised his head to drink the wine in the glass, and followed him.

…

Not far away.

Li Yunlong winked at Zhu Youjian and asked with a smile: "Why don't you go see your ancestors?"

"They are not from the same world, just have the same name and surname!" Zhu Youjian stiffened his neck, looking disapproving.

He was in a very awkward mood.

He never expected that this wandering monk and beggar-like guy was actually the ancestor of the Zhu family.

If the person who came was the Hongwu Emperor who founded the Ming Dynasty and was in the limelight, he might go over to try to establish a relationship with him, but now it was the beggar Zhu Chongba! He always felt a little embarrassed to be asked to call a beggar ancestor.

Maybe there will be other Hongwu Emperors entering the tavern in the future.

The most important thing is that Zhu Chongba is actually on good terms with Yu Huatian, a wicked villain! This is the evil villain who rides on the head of the Ming Dynasty royal family and bullies others! Zhu Youjian wanted to say "Old Ancestor, you are confused", but he was stared at by so many people that he couldn't speak and could only pretend not to care.

His eyes would occasionally steal glances at the two of them.

Liu Peiqiang and Li Yunlong, who were sitting at the same table, looked at each other and both found the scene very interesting.

…

Yu Huatian brought Zhu Chongba to the bar.

Feng Baobao left with Xu Xiang early in the morning to visit Longhu Mountain and has not returned yet.

At this time, Ying Yinman and Xiaoqing were sitting in front of the bar.

Ying Yinman had already heard the conversation between Yu Huatian and others, and knew that the beggar in front of her would be the future founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Since entering the tavern, she has read a lot of books, including a lot of history after the Qin Dynasty.

The Hongwu Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was one of the emperors most admired by his father.

It is truly admirable that such people were able to rise from obscurity and revive China when people's morale was at its lowest point after being trampled upon by foreign races.

Seeing several people coming, Ying Yinman smiled and said, "Welcome to the Spacetime Tavern, the future Hongwu Emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang was flattered and immediately clasped his fists to greet him.

Yu Huatian introduced him to him.

"This is Princess Ying Yinman, one of the first guests to join the tavern and now an official member of the tavern."

Noticing the curiosity in Zhu Chongba's eyes, Yu Huatian added, "Princess Yin Man's father is the First Emperor, and he is also in the tavern now."

The First Emperor? Zhu Chongba was startled when he heard this, and quickly followed Yu Huatian's line of sight, and saw a man in a black robe smiling and raising his glass to him.

Zhu Chongba quickly clasped his fists, secretly shocked.

It turned out that the First Emperor was also one of the guests in the tavern.

But his daughter could become a member of such a mysterious place, his own daughter...

Suddenly I remembered that I was alone and the most intimate contact I had with a woman was when I helped an old woman with limited mobility when she was fetching water from the temple. This thought was immediately swept away.

"This is Fairy Xiaoqing, who comes from a very special Tang Dynasty," said Yu Huatian.

"Hello, fairy." Zhu Chongba said hurriedly.

Xiao Qing smiled slightly and suddenly said: "I am not a fairy, I am just a snake demon who has practiced for hundreds of years."

Zhu Chongba's face changed, but he quickly recovered and said, "Fairy, you are too modest. How can you judge a hero by his family background? If that were the case, wouldn't I have to beg for food for the rest of my life?"

Xiao Qing chuckled: "As expected of an emperor!"

Yu Huatian glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang beside him with a little surprise, thinking that it was no wonder that he could create an unprecedented foundation with a humble body.

Gao Yao also silently gave Zhu Chongba a thumbs up.

Yu Huatian began to explain to Zhu Chongba the various fine wines on the wine list.

When he heard that drinking the cup of Super-Limit Body Wine would immediately give him invincible power in the world, and he could even jump to the moon and smash a planet with one punch, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with deep anticipation.

Next came the fine wine made from the complete version of "Kunlun Immortal Art" that Taiyi Zhenren traded to the tavern. After drinking it, one can master this technique, and with practice, gain incredible power and all kinds of strange magical skills, and live as long as the sky!

…

Looking at the dazzling array of fine wines, Zhu Yuanzhang felt dazzled and his mood fluctuated. He swallowed countless saliva and clenched his fists countless times.

It took Yu Huatian a long while to finish introducing these fine wines.

He then explained again the method of exchanging time and space coins.

"For us, there is only gold at the moment," Yu Huatian concluded.

Zhu Chongba secretly calculated that one kilogram of gold could be exchanged for one time-space coin, and the super-limit body that he coveted the most would cost 10 million.

Ten million kilograms of gold, even if all the gold in the world was collected, it might not be enough.

But there should be a lot of gold mines buried deep underground, and it should be more than enough to mine them all.

Yu Huatian then took him to visit the treasure house.

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he saw the various treasures with extraordinary powers.

He suddenly felt that just by reselling the supplies in the tavern, he could make a fortune in that world, so there was no need to starve.

He roughly understood what Yu Huatian meant earlier.

Since I have the opportunity in the tavern, why should I go far away to join the rebels?

As long as he is given some resources, he can immediately form a team, take up the banner of anti-Yuan, and become the master of the world with unstoppable force!

Zhu Yuanzhang stood straight and looked very high-spirited.

Yu Huatian then took him to visit the Hero's Order screen wall and introduced him to various examples of other guests in the tavern who had used the Hero's Order to solve big troubles in the past.

Zhu Chongba's mind was moved: "If I encounter an opponent that I cannot defeat in the future, can I come to the tavern to seek help?"

Yu Huatian smiled and said, "Brother Zhu, if you encounter an enemy you can't defeat, just let me know."

"And me," Gao Yao also said, "I can't do anything against those gods, but when facing mortals, I can resist thousands of troops by myself!"

"Thank you!" Zhu Chongba expressed gratitude.

When the two took him to the restaurant and he tasted Mr. Ping's steamed buns and noodles and ate several of Lao Hongtou's signature dishes, Zhu Chongba was almost in tears.

He had been hungry for several days and had originally thought of stealing a chicken from Mr. Wang's house before leaving today. He had been craving for that big rooster that pecked people for a long time. Unexpectedly, he received an invitation to the tavern before leaving.

Although they were two strangers who had never met each other before, they enthusiastically introduced to him all the extraordinary features of the tavern and even treated him to delicious food that he had never eaten in his life.

When Zhu Chongba saw that Gao Yao paid three space-time coins and thought about the corresponding gold value, he was even more grateful.

"Brother Zhu, we've been looking for so long today, do you see anything you like?" Yu Huatian suddenly spoke.

Zhu Chongba was stunned.

"Our emperor neglected government affairs, believed in alchemy, and indulged in the harem..." Yu Huatian sighed, "I have always thought that if Brother Zhu from our world were still alive, the people would have a much better life."
