Li Bai has not been in a very good mood recently.

He originally wanted to travel around the world with his sword, but halfway through, he was tripped by a woman.

The princess, whom he saved out of kindness, crawled into his bed on a rainy night and attacked him without any moral principles.

The princess's name was Sonya.

She launched several sneak attacks in succession.

Li Bai was full of vigor and vitality, and he was not Liuxia Hui who could remain calm even when a woman made him beautiful, so he was successfully ambushed again and again.

So, Sonya became pregnant.

Li Bai had some knowledge of medicine, and the princess was also familiar with her physical condition, so both parties were clear about the result.

This made him hesitate.

Abandon Sonya and embark on a journey around the world alone?

Or borrow a flying machine to send her back to Datang, and then set out on the journey alone? As for taking her with him, Li Bai never considered it.

Even though the fine wine he got from the tavern has increased his strength to an incredible level, he doesn't know what kind of trouble he will encounter in the future, and he may not have the energy to protect the other party.

Sonya obeyed him in everything, but she didn't want to separate, and she was even more unwilling to set foot in a strange land alone.

This made Li Bai feel a little overwhelmed, and even worried about gains and losses.

He had never thought about starting a family.

But after being close to Sonya for so long, I have some feelings for her.

What's more, the other person is pregnant with her own child.

He is not an irresponsible person, and this is his first child. It is impossible for him to have no expectations at all.

now.

Sitting on a reef, looking at the surging waves in the distance, Li Bai looked confused.

He had been out for quite some time and had seen countless beautiful scenery.

He watched the sun and moon change in the depths of the desert, walked across magnificent mountains and rivers, danced with wild wolves, and also drew his sword to help those who were injustice...

During this journey, he wrote enough poems to be compiled into a collection.

But his plan was suddenly disrupted, causing him to begin to examine himself.

What exactly are you pursuing? Is it just a life of wandering or an excuse to escape from reality?

He thought of the friend named Li Xunhuan whom he met in the tavern.

Li Xunhuan's experience is somewhat similar to his.

But he knew that Li Xunhuan was staying away from his previous life in order to avoid emotional pain, which was fundamentally different from him.

His good friend Gao Shi also found his goal.

"Where is my way?" Li Bai looked into the distance and muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a bell rang in the town.

Li Bai knew that it was already noon.

He stood up from the reef, picked up the fishing rod beside him, and pulled out a fat sea fish.

He slowly reeled in the fishing line with a smile on his face.

The town is on the border of the kingdom. It is backward and poor. The townspeople are ignorant and only know how to pray to God by bleeding when they are sick.

Li Bai felt very uncomfortable when he first arrived.

The only good thing is that this place is close to the coast, the scenery is magnificent, and he found several good fishing spots.

He has had nothing to do these days and has become addicted to fishing.

For this purpose, he even shamelessly asked Tony for a fishing rod.

Only when he is quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait can he calm down and think about many things.

But the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he was like a rootless duckweed.

Aimless and without direction.

He is interested in many things, but finds it difficult to concentrate.

It seems that the only hobby in life is writing poetry.

But what kind of ideal is writing poetry?

There is still a long time to come.

In recent days, he has even lost interest in writing poetry.

He reeled in the fishing rod little by little, and Li Bai grabbed the fish that was swinging its tail and trying to escape.

"Sonia is in for a treat today." Li Bai said to himself.

He decided not to think about it any more and wait for his child to be born.

He also had some expectations for the continuation of his bloodline.

Li Bai carried the fish and walked towards his residence.

All the townspeople along the way greeted him warmly, and some even bowed to him from a distance.

These people were blond, thin, and dressed in dirty clothes. They looked at him with awe and admiration.

If Li Bai had not come to his rescue, many people would have died from illness and disasters.

Not to mention that in his spare time he also taught some children Eastern culture, which made the townspeople more convinced that he was a god from the East.

The incarnation of God on earth!

If Li Bai raised his arms and called for action now, these townspeople would willingly follow him to rebel!

When he was almost reaching his residence, Li Bai suddenly paused.

He saw several gorgeous carriages parked outside the house and a team of armored guards standing there respectfully.

There is a very conspicuous logo on the carriage.

A smile appeared on Li Bai's face.

He knew that the message he spread had an effect.

Seeing him appear, the guards came in one after another and saluted respectfully.

When he reached the door, several men and women in luxurious attire came out to greet him.

Sonya was surrounded by stars.

But the leader was an old man with white hair and wrinkled face, and his status was obviously not low.

"Great Mr. Li Bai, it's an honor to meet you!" the old man said respectfully in halting Chinese.

Li Bai bowed slightly, returned the greeting, and then looked at Sonya.

Princess Sonya's face was full of pride as she introduced him, "My dear, this is my uncle, Archduke Henry."

Li Bai nodded, suddenly realizing.

The Grand Duke's status is not low, so naturally he has a lot of wealth.

He also came up with the idea of ​​"making money" because he felt a little embarrassed after always drinking in the bar for a long time, and he was about to become a father.

But it was absolutely impossible for him to do business or rebel and become emperor.

So a few days ago, he sold a glass of wine to the mayor who frequently showed his goodwill.

Even if it can only extend lifespan by 25 years and the effect on physical fitness is almost negligible, the fourth-generation Blood Demon Strengthening Wine worth 50 time and space coins also made the little nobleman astonished and knelt down to worship him.

After learning that Li Bai was only interested in gold, the young noble excitedly said that he would act as a matchmaker so that others would willingly take the gold. He even encouraged Li Bai to reveal his true identity, spread his faith, and establish his church and kingdom.

Li Bai had no interest in becoming a god, but he was happy to make a profit.

He sold the fourth-generation Blood Demon fortified wine for 50 time and space coins, and claimed that he wanted two hundred kilograms of gold.

The third-generation Blood Demon fortified wine, which could extend life by 50 years and was worth 100 time and space coins, was priced at 500 kilograms of gold by him.

Of course, there is also the second-generation Blood Demon Fortified Wine that can extend life by a hundred years. Since there are not many of them in the tavern, he priced it at three thousand kilograms of gold.

Sonya happened to hear what Li Bai was saying to the young nobleman.

Her father was the king and her mother was the daughter of the Grand Duke. Many of her relatives on both sides were powerful but had short lives.

For example, the Archduke Henry in front of us.

As the lord of the principality, his power has grown over the years, and even the king is a little wary of him.

Li Bai's reputation had already spread throughout the aristocratic circles of several surrounding kingdoms.

He kidnapped the princess, and when faced with pursuers, he flew into the sky with Sonya, with his sword aura as bright as a rainbow. He was already regarded as a god.

There were countless nobles who wanted to befriend him, and countless noble ladies who dreamed of replacing Sonya.

After receiving the letter from Princess Sonya, Archduke Henry, who had been secretly following Li Bai, came over in person without hesitation.

It was obvious that Archduke Henry only knew a few words in Chinese, so Sonia helped translate.

After several conversations, Li Bai learned the other party's purpose.

This great nobleman, who is nearly 70 years old, really came here for the longevity wine.

Archduke Henry, who was obviously much richer than the minor nobleman, claimed that he wanted a glass of wine that would extend his life by fifty years.

As he said this, his breathing was noticeably rapid, and a barely perceptible hint of worry flashed across his eyes.

Even though all the information pointed to Li Bai being like a god and possessing such incredible abilities, at this moment he was still quite nervous, worried that his hopes would be dashed.

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Bai walked towards the several large boxes brought by the other party.

When he opened the box and saw the golden gold inside, even Li Bai, who always regarded money as dirt, breathed faster.

This was the most income he had ever received.

After checking it, Li Bai's smile became much more sincere.

"Please wait a moment."

After saying that, before anyone could react, he disappeared with two boxes of gold.

Seeing him leave, Archduke Henry and others were surprised.

Even though the information they had gathered from all sides proved that Li Bai was no ordinary person, they were still extremely shocked when they saw him display his magical skills with their own eyes.

Sonya, who was already accustomed to this, raised her chin, straightened her body, showing her slightly bulging belly, with a look of pride on her face.

…

Li Bai appeared in the tavern with two boxes of gold.

He was about to sell it when he suddenly heard someone saying his name.

"Are you Li Bai?"

He was confused, wondering if there was someone in the tavern who didn't know him.

When he turned around, he found that it was Yan Chixia who spoke.

He blinked in confusion.

When Li Bai saw the man in white opposite Yan Chixia say "It's me", he completely lost his composure.

He walked quickly and was between the two in no time.

Yan Chixia was about to speak, but when he saw him coming, a strange smile appeared on his face and he closed his mouth silently.

Li Bai looked at the stranger curiously.

He thought about it carefully and then remembered that today was the day for new people to arrive.

Could this person be the newcomer?

The man in front of him was dressed in white, with a brown wine gourd hanging from his waist and a long sword slung over his other side.

He has a slender figure, handsome face, a carefree posture, and a wild look in his eyes.

"Are you Li Bai too?" Li Bai looked the man up and down and asked.

"What do you mean by 'also'? Is there another Li Bai here?" The man smiled.

Li Bai couldn't help but look at Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang who were not far away.

He knew that the same person from different worlds might appear in the tavern. In fact, they had appeared before, such as Huang Yaoshi and Huang Rong from Xiaolongnu's world, or Ying Zheng from Gao Yao's world, but those people did not enter the tavern.

Everyone had discussed this and felt that these emperors were the most likely candidates.

But he never expected that the first "duplicate person" who actually appeared was actually another himself.

"Are you from the Tang Dynasty?" Li Bai asked.

The man hesitated, thinking that Wu Zhou had usurped the throne of Li Tang, and that she had gained the throne illegitimately, and that there was much criticism both inside and outside the court, so he nodded and looked at him suspiciously: "What do you mean by asking this?"

Li Bai cupped his hands, smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I never thought I would meet another me."

"Wait, are you also called Li Bai?" the man asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am also Li Bai, from the Tang Dynasty," Li Bai thought for a moment and said, "Now... the emperor of the dynasty is Li Longji."

The man looked even more surprised: "Li Longji? He became the emperor?"

Li Bai was puzzled: "If it's not him, could it be Wu Zetian?"

"Our emperor is Wu Zetian!" said the man.

This was his third visit to Chang'an, and he was about to seek justice from Wu Zetian! Li Bai was surprised: "Wu Zetian had passed away when I was four years old. Your world seems to be different from ours!"

He stared at the man in white in front of him with burning eyes, full of interest.

He had heard from many people, including Xiaolongnu, Huang Rong, Yue Fei, etc., that the Tang Dynasty and himself were both present in their history.

Including An Xin and others who recently came to the tavern, in their world, the period in which "they" live is the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty.

But the Li Bai in front of him actually lived in the Wu Zhou period, several decades earlier than himself, which really made him curious.

The man was also full of doubts.

Ever since his last defeat at the hands of Wu Zetian, he pretended to have lost confidence in martial arts and spent his days traveling, drinking and having fun, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, but the passion in his heart had not been extinguished.

Over the years, he has visited famous mountains and rivers, walked through the desert, and set foot on ancient battlefields full of dangers, and finally made great progress in martial arts.

His sword energy further transformed, causing his strength to surge to an even stronger level.

Now he is confident that when he faces Wu Zetian, he can use the sword in his hand to defeat her majesty and edge!

"Are you a poet too?" Li Bai asked.

The man thought about it and realized that his poetic talent had indeed attracted a lot of praise from people.

He nodded and said, "Yes."

Li Bai was excited and laughed while clapping his hands.

He pondered for a few seconds and said, "The Zhao guest's hair is covered with Hu tassels, and the Wu hook is bright with frost and snow."

The man continued his words: "The silver saddle shines on the white horse, which gallops like a meteor."

The two smiled at each other and said in unison: "When the work is done, I will leave, hiding my identity and name..."

After finishing a poem, the two of them laughed out loud, with admiration for each other in their eyes.

Poems can be recited, but the emotions expressed when reciting them cannot be faked.

Just by reciting this poem, the two felt that they had a great affinity with each other.

"This poem was written when I first saw a good friend of mine," Li Bai said with a smile, "His name is Gao Shi, and he sometimes comes to the tavern. I'll introduce him to you next time."

"Gao Shi?" The man in white shook his head. "I know him, but this poem is not written for him. It was written when I defeated a very powerful opponent."

He continued, "From this poem, I realized the first ray of sword energy that belongs to me alone!"

Li Bai was at a loss: "Sword Qi?"

He felt like something was not right.

The deviation between the two worlds seems to be more than just in time.
