"I am going to avenge my junior brother." Ding Xiu put away the smile on his face and spoke in a serious tone.

"Your junior brother? Was he killed by Zhu Youjian?" Yu Huatian was surprised.

Ding Xiu shook his head and told the story of Zhao Jingzhong.

After traveling with Shen Lian for a few days, he has already understood most of the inside story.

Upon hearing that Zhao Jingzhong was also the head of the East Factory, Yu Huatian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When he heard that the enemy's conspiracy had been exposed and that they were preparing to rebel against the Ming and surrender to the Jin, and that they were about to reach the border, he frowned and said, "To go to a group of barbarians in a bitter and cold land, this guy is really living a miserable life!"

He looked up at Ding Xiu and asked, "What are your plans?"

Ding Xiu grabbed the knife beside the table and said murderously: "I want to use his head to sacrifice to the spirit of my junior brother in heaven!"

"It's not a pity for that kind of person to die!" Yu Huatian nodded.

As the head of the East Factory of the Ming Dynasty, he held great power, but he ran away to join the barbarians, which was a disgrace to all the heads of the factories throughout the generations.

"Are you sure?" Tang Bohu asked.

He was originally a weak scholar who wrote poems and painted, but after entering the tavern, his understanding of fighting and killing increased a lot.

Ding Xiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'm 50% sure."

He and Shen Lian have been following Zhao Jingzhong, and they should be able to catch up with him today.

Now that we are close to the border, if the Later Jin army comes to greet us, I am afraid there will be a fierce battle.

Even though he is a martial arts expert, he is not sure of winning.

"I'll give you some helpers." Tang Bohu smiled.

He spread out the drawing paper, picked up the brush and started painting.

Seeing Ding Xiu's puzzled expression, Dongfang Bubai explained, "Brother Tang entered the Dao through painting. A few days ago, he also received a painting technique from Daoist Han. The things he painted are more powerful than living things!"

Ding Xiu looked surprised.

When he thought of the more incredible wines, it made sense.

He tilted his head and looked at the drawing paper.

What Tang Bohu painted was a goshawk.

No, there is also a tiger.

With just a few strokes, Tang Bohu outlined the contours of the eagle and the tiger.

He drew with such speed that in a short while he made the creatures on the paper come alive.

As he was coloring the painting and adding the finishing touches, Ding Xiu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually heard the cry of an eagle and the roar of a tiger, and the two seemed to come alive.

Tang Bohu looked at his painting with satisfaction. After the ink dried, he rolled it up, tied it with a red string, and said with a smile, "Brother Ding, if you want to summon them, just unfold this painting."

He then gave some further instructions.

Ding Xiu took it with both hands and thanked him sincerely.

Tang Bohu was a very famous person, and each of his paintings is worth a fortune, not to mention this magical thing.

"You can buy a glass of wine first. It's better to make yourself stronger." Yu Huatian suggested, "God's gene wine has always been a hot seller in the tavern. The lower-priced Captain America gene wine... is also good."

Ding Xiu looked towards the wine list.

As if sensing his thoughts, the several types of wine mentioned by Yu Huatian all flickered slightly.

He squinted his eyes and took a look. The highest value was 5,000 Space-Time Coins, and the lower one was 1,000.

Combined with what several people said earlier, one kilogram of gold can be exchanged for one time-space coin...

"I can lend you some time and space coins first." Yu Huatian smiled.

Dongfang Bubai said: "Once you are strong enough, there are many ways to obtain time and space coins. The emperor's treasury and those noble officials have plenty of money."

She seized a lot of gold from those people early on.

Later, after staying in the pub for a long time and being influenced by everyone, he decided to do something using the pub's resources.

Even if just a little bit leaked through her fingers, the fine wine that prolongs life, the seeds and crops from the future, and the scientific and technological knowledge would be enough to make the entire Ming Dynasty grateful to her.

A few days ago, she even saw some people from the public spontaneously building a temple for her, which made Dongfang Bubai feel quite complicated.

Tang Bohu's bottom line was much higher than the other two. He said with a smile: "Brother Ding, if you think it's not good to rob it..."

"What's wrong with robbing?" Ding Xiu thought to himself.

In order to avoid giving everyone a bad impression, he did not speak and planned to listen to what Tang Bohu had to say.

"You can also exchange it with the emperor and those officials," Tang Bohu said, "The third generation blood demon wine can extend life by fifty years, and the price is only one hundred time and space coins. Even if you claim that one hundred thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for one cup, those people will still flock to it."

Hearing this, Ding Xiu's expression froze for half a second, and he turned to look at the wine list.

When he saw that there really was such wine and that it was available in almost unlimited quantities, his eyes immediately lit up.

It is obviously much more cost-effective to use this method to rob, no, to earn gold.

He knew how much those old guys who possessed huge wealth feared death.

"In addition, you can also cooperate with the emperor like me..." said Tang Bohu.

He and Zhu Houzhao hit it off from the first sight and slept in the same bed. He had long given up the idea of ​​killing him.

The other party was very tactful and gave him a steady supply of Ming Dynasty gold.

In return for the favor, he was also happy to assist the Ming Dynasty in becoming stronger as the imperial teacher.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Ding Xiu sneered and said, "That dog emperor? Is he worthy?"

Even though hearing that Zhu Youjian died for his country made him feel better about him, he never forgot that this incompetent man killed his master and fellow disciples.

They are enemies! "Brother Ding wants to be the emperor, that's fine." Tang Bohu said with a smile.

Ding Xiu shook his head.

He cannot stand being constrained and has no interest in the throne.

He prefers to wander around.

"What's so good about being an emperor? Leading the people in ideological enlightenment and building a democratic republic where everyone is equal is what a real man does!"

Ding Xiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short-haired man with strange clothes. He had a free and unrestrained temperament and almost made him think he was a fellow traveler.

"This is Brother Xu Wenqiang," Yu Huatian introduced.

He had a half-smile on his face.

He heard that this guy robbed the largest treasury in his world some time ago, but now he talks about democracy and republic all day long, which inevitably makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

On the contrary, Political Commissar Zhao and people like Li Yunlong are consistent in their words and deeds.

Even though Li Yunlong was often accused of being shameless in the tavern, most of the things he got were handed over by him.

After hearing their stories, Yu Huatian did not agree with some of their ideas, but he admired them very much.

Ding Xiu didn't know all this, he just felt that Xu Wenqiang's temperament made him very fond of him.

When he learned about the world Xu Wenqiang was in, his interest grew even stronger.

After Xu Wenqiang's words of persuasion, Ding Xiu gradually became more interested.

Being able to step into this place, he already has the means to turn the tide in the original world, and it seems that he should do something.

Let the oppressed people stand up and be independent...

It’s not that he had never thought about it in the past, but he thought it was something that even a saint could not accomplish, so he didn’t take it seriously.

Now, after listening to Xu Wenqiang's words, this kind of thing doesn't seem that difficult?

This is also the belief of the descendants of the Qi Family Army! A hint of hesitation flashed across Ding Xiu's face.

Yu Huatian smiled and patted his shoulder, saying, "Brother Ding, it's easy to do something big, whether it's establishing a republic or supporting a puppet to become the king of your world. It's easy."

Ding Xiu thought about it seriously, waved his hand and said: "What you said is too far from me, wait until I have avenged my junior brother before you say anything!"

"That's true." Yu Huatian smiled, "Brother Ding, do you have any favorite wines?"

Ding Xiu knew what he meant and shook his head, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Yu. I want to kill my enemy first before I say anything."

"If you really can't beat them, you can always come to the pub," he added.

The wines he liked were all of high value, and he was worried that if he borrowed money, he wouldn't be able to pay it back for a while.

In a place like this, credibility is obviously important.

But he is far from reaching the end of his rope.

Yu Huatian could probably guess what Ding Xiu was thinking.

He is very experienced in this matter.

Not long ago, he robbed the Jurchens from his own world.

Ding Xiu's eyes lit up slightly and he was ready to make a move.

"To deal with a group of barbarians, a set of Iron Man suit is enough." Xu Wenqiang said with a smile.

This is how he made his fortune, and the legend of him as the "Iron Man" still exists in Shanghai today.

"Iron Man suit?" Ding Xiu wondered.

Yu Huatian pointed to the treasure house and said with a smile, "Brother Ding, take a look there."

Ding Xiu turned his head and looked.

Even though they were not close, when he looked over there, the catalog of collections in the treasure pavilion appeared in his field of vision at a glance.

Not surprisingly, he was shocked again.

"I wouldn't trade this place for a god!" Ding Xiu thought to himself.

He suddenly felt like crying.

It would be great if Master and the others hadn’t died.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Xiu suppressed the sourness in his chest and turned to Yu Huatian.

Yu Huatian handed him a ring and said, "This is a low-level storage ring. Inside is a set of Iron Man suits."

This is what he used to use.

In the days since he entered the tavern, he has gradually obtained a lot of time and space coins, and replaced his storage rings with high-end ones. This set of combat suit has not been used for a long time.

He kept it for himself, intending to use it as a reward for his subordinates.

"Thank you." Ding Xiu didn't act pretentiously this time.

He took the ring, asked a few people for advice, and then tried it on on the spot.

He flew up shakily, and after a moment of familiarity, he mastered the use of this battle suit.

Resisting the urge to try out the energy cannons and missiles, Ding Xiu put away his battle suit, put on his storage ring, and said goodbye to the others.

It was a rare opportunity to borrow this set of battle suits, so he planned to make good use of it and try to earn two more sets of battle suits! After bowing to several people one by one, Ding Xiu disappeared from the tavern.

…

As soon as he returned to the original world, he smelled a foul odor.

Turning his head to look at the yellow and green things in the toilet, Ding Xiu pinched his nose and walked away quickly.

As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Lian coming in a hurry.

"Where have you been? I've been looking for you for a long time!" Shen Lian shouted anxiously.

Ding Xiu glanced at him.

Originally he was very dissatisfied with this guy and even thought about killing him.

But now that he had the opportunity to go to the tavern, he was in a good mood and even looked at Shen Lian with favor.

Although this man is stupid and greedy, and is fooled by a woman, he is not completely useless.

After many years of career as a Jinyiwei, he must be familiar with all the ways of the Ming Dynasty.

He must know a lot about which noble family in the capital has the most money and which head of the family is in his twilight years.

Besides, he can become a brother to his fellow apprentice and is willing to risk his life for revenge, so his nature cannot be too bad.

"Maybe it can be useful." Ding Xiu thought to himself.

"What's the hurry?" he said nonchalantly.

"We have to set off quickly, or we may miss them if we are late." Shen Lian said anxiously, "I'll go get the horses!"

Ding Xiu nodded: "Go!"

Shen Lian scratched his head and walked away.

He always felt that Ding Xiu seemed different after going to the toilet.

The two men galloped on their horses, raising a cloud of dust.

After more than an hour, they finally saw Zhao Jingzhong and his group.

Shen Lian waved the whip to speed up.

Zhao Jingzhong has already noticed the two people following him.

Now that he had half stepped into the territory of the Later Jin, he felt a lot more relaxed and simply asked the people accompanying him to stop and see who was chasing him.

When he saw Ding Xiu and Shen Lian clearly, he was a little surprised, but didn't take it seriously.

Shen Lian jumped off his horse, clenched his fists, and stared at the other party: "You falsely conveyed the imperial decree. Even if we kill Wei Zhongxian, you will kill us to silence us!"

Zhao Jingzhong sneered: "The moment we find you three, you will be dead!"

Shen Lian was furious and was about to take action when he heard a noise in the distance. It turned out to be dozens of Jin soldiers on horseback rushing towards them.

When he heard the Jin soldiers asking, "Who is the friend that General Li Yongfang invited to the Khan?", Zhao Jingzhong took off his hat, revealing his rat tail braid, and responded, "It is me." Shen Lian could no longer conceal his murderous intent and rushed forward with a knife.

He brought three weapons this time.

The eldest brother's goose-wing knife, the third brother's mandarin duck short knife, and his own embroidered spring knife.

He wanted to use the weapons of his three brothers to kill Zhao Jingzhong and avenge his two brothers!

Zhao Jingzhong held an iron spear and his martial arts skills were even better than his.

Ding Xiu had already charged towards the Mongolian cavalry, and Shen Lian could only fight to the death with Zhao Jingzhong.

The two were fighting fiercely and had no time to care about anything else.

At the cost of being seriously injured, Shen Lian finally killed Zhao Jingzhong.

Holding the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand, he barely stood up and looked to the other side.

The Later Jin cavalry was quite powerful, causing headaches for the imperial court, so he planned to help Ding Xiu.

The scene in his vision surprised him.

All the Jin soldiers were beheaded, and some horses were cut in half! He thought Ding Xiu, who would not be able to hold on, was intact. He was wearing a strange armor, holding a long sword, and was suspended in the air.

He is flying! Shen Lian rubbed his eyes hard.

Unfortunately, his hands were stained with blood, and the more he rubbed his eyes, the more blurry they became.

He widened his eyes and stared at the figure in the air.

As if noticing his gaze, the man flew towards him.

That's right, it was Ding Xiu! They had been inseparable for the past few days and were already very familiar with each other.

He was sure he wouldn't make a mistake.

"Killing Zhao Jingzhong has made you like this. You can't do it!" Ding Xiu teased.

"Are you... a human or a ghost?" Shen Lian's face was full of shock.

"Of course it's a human," Ding Xiu smiled disapprovingly and said, "You said before that you wanted to go to Suzhou City, but I don't think it's the right time yet."

"What do you mean?" Shen Lian was confused.

"Raid the lair of the Later Jin people, then drive that damn emperor off the throne, and bring your two lovers over. Do you dare?" Ding Xiu asked.

The sunlight shone on Ding Xiu's body, casting a warm yellow halo on him.

In Shen Lian's vision, the man in front of him was no different from a god.

"Why not!" he shouted.

"Okay!" Ding Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

He held up a scroll, and the sounds of tiger roars and eagle cries were heard.

Shen Lian looked at the tiger and hawk that appeared in front of him in horror and was almost frightened to death.

"They will protect you. I'm going to do something important and will come back to you later!" After Ding Xiu finished speaking, he turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.
