Chapter 363: The Strongest Man on Earth in the Sixth Century

"Fuck, where have we come from? Is this still China?"

Li Zhongren looked at everything around him with a confused look on his face.

He was in a magnificent palace.

However, there was no one around.

It was quiet and deserted, with only the sound of my breathing and the wind.

The last second, he was still on the Blue Star, and this second, he came to this unknown place.

"So, I'm wearing it again?"

"Zizi~~"

The sharing space link is being established.
"Memory Transferring"

"Transfer completed."

With a shudder, Li Zhongren learned about the shared space.

At the same time, based on the memories in the space, he also knew that the world he was currently sitting in was too far away from the shared space, and there were no other selves in the surrounding dimensions, so he could only follow the old rules and pass the plug-in through the shared space.

However, this plug-in is still in the incubation stage, and it will only hatch out when it encounters danger or some special things happen.

With the plug-in, Li Zhongren felt a little more confident.

After looking around, he walked along the road in front of him. At the end, there was a palace.

There was no one here either, as if he was the only one in the world.

However, the difference was that the palace gate was open and he could see lights flickering inside.

Logically speaking, one should not get close to it, but, firstly, Li Zhongren has a cheat, and secondly, he feels that everything here seems to be deliberate, deliberately making people disappear, because the human touch is still here, and from some details it can be seen that before today, there were still traces of people living here.

But for what purpose and where he is going, we can only take it one step at a time.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountain will tire the horse to death.

The palace complex where he was located was so magnificent.

He didn't know how long he had been walking before he finally arrived at the palace gate.

Look inside.

There is a painting on one wall, a landscape painting. Everything in the painting seems vivid, especially the water, which seems to be about to overflow.

"This is the 'Nine Provinces Landscape', painted by my beloved minister, Yan Liben."

Suddenly, a voice attracted Li Zhongren's attention. He looked over and saw a man sitting under the light in the distance. He looked to be about 30 years old, with a strong body but not bloated. His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, giving people a great sense of pressure. However, the two small mustaches added some human flavor to him.

"Come in and talk."

Li Zhongren took a deep breath and nodded.

Stepped in.

In a moment, he heard what seemed to be a sound above the palace and looked in the direction of the sound.

On the beam, the bronze sparrow guarding the hall between the brackets spread its wings, and all pairs of eyes were staring at him.

Everything is weird and strange, yet magnificent as if it is a work of art.

It was not until Li Zhongren walked completely into the lobby that he could see the man's face clearly in the candlelight.

At this moment, he was at a loss for words.

After all, the knowledge he had was not enough to support his appreciation of poetry and idioms.

In one word: so fucking cool.

The man slowly raised his hand and placed it on the table. The dragon pattern embroidered in gold thread on his cuffs glowed coldly under the candlelight.

"sit."

"Ahem, thank you."

Li Zhongren cleared his throat and saw a chair not far away from the opposite side of the man.

He sat down on it without any hesitation.

This action made the man raise the corner of his mouth slightly. From this one move, he knew that the young man in front of him, who was about twenty years old, did not understand the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. Who would sit on a whole stool in front of the emperor?

Of course, he certainly wouldn't care.

But that doesn't mean others dare.

But this young man had no corresponding thoughts at all.

Thinking of this, the man spoke slowly.

"June 5, the ninth year of Wude."

"The deputy director of the Imperial Observatory, Yuan Tiangang, found me. That day, he had a sudden inspiration and made a prediction."

"He spent twenty years of his life to decipher the hexagram, and in return he got a prophecy: On the day when Mars is in the heart, a strange man will bring the secret of heaven to me."

"Today, the star Yinghuo shines brightly."

"I emptied the Taiji Palace, and you really appeared. You just appeared out of thin air. It didn't look like Qimen Dunjia or the illusion of the Western Regions. It came silently and without a sound."

"So, who are you?"

"call"

Hearing this, Li Zhongren took a deep breath.

"Well, can I ask, who are you? Or, what dynasty is this? Which emperor are you?"

He didn't know much about history, so he couldn't draw a conclusion about which emperor the emperor who called himself "I" was from the conversation. The only thing he knew was that it was probably the Tang Dynasty, because he was familiar with Yuan Tiangang and the Tuibei Tu.

Apart from that, he was in the dark.

"Dynasty, Emperor"

Li Shimin nodded slightly. These two words proved one thing. If the other party was not deliberately mysterious, then he might be a barbarian, or he might be in some even more bizarre situation.

"This is the Tang Empire, and I am the Tang Emperor, Li Shimin."

“No wonder he’s so handsome”

Looking at the emperor in front of him, Li Zhongren nodded. As the strongest man on earth in the sixth century AD, it would be a problem if he didn't look like this.

"call"

Thinking of this, Li Zhongren took a deep breath.

From the other party's words, he also summarized his current situation.

First of all, he traveled to the Tang Dynasty, but this Tang Dynasty was a little different. For example, Yuan Tiangang was really good at predicting things. This alone was enough to prove that this Tang Dynasty might have supernatural powers.

Secondly, how should he deal with all this?

He has many options, such as pretending to be a prophet, playing tricks, etc.

However, he felt that this lie would be exposed sooner or later. After all, it was the butterfly effect. Every prediction was actually a correction to the future.

So, he decided to come clean and tell the truth.

Of course, one of the reasons why he did this was because of his cheat, which was awakened after the strongest man on earth in the sixth century AD blew up his own family.

The name of the plug-in is also very simple.

Two words. Buy and sell.

To put it simply, he can set up a stall and sell things.

The things he sells naturally come from brothers in other worlds. He acts as a platform. Of course, the benefit to him is that he can get a commission from it, and the commission will be directly integrated into his power system to help him grow.

So, as a businessman, what could be more important and more reasonable than to establish good relations with the Tang Dynasty, or the emperor of the magical Tang Dynasty world?

So, he spoke.

"You may find what I'm about to say a little unbelievable, but I assure you that everything I say is true. And if you have any doubts, we can prove it, right?"

"interesting."

Li Shimin leaned back slightly.

He stroked his mustache.

"Then tell me about it."

"I am from the future, about 1,400 years later. Can you understand? If you can't understand, you can think of it as you slept and when you opened your eyes, you found yourself in the end of the Han Dynasty. That's probably what it means. In our time, this thing is called time travel."

“Spacetime.”

Li Shimin muttered silently.

He knew these two words individually. Time, past and present. As for emptiness, it meant nothing?

"Time. Empty?"

"No, the four directions above and below are called 'Yu', and the past and present are called 'Zhou'."

"So-called time and space is the world from ancient times to the present flowing down like a river. Wouldn't this metaphor be more appropriate?"

"The four directions above and below are called 'Yu', and the past and present are called 'Zhou'"

"These two sentences are good, good. The person who said them is very talented. Is that what you said?"

"No, no, it's what your ancient people said. Um, haven't you heard this before?"

"Never."

"That might be an ancient person from a later generation. I don't know much about this period of history. Anyway, you can understand what I mean, right?"

"I don't know much about time and space, but I understand what you said."

"You came here one day 1,400 years later, crossing the distance of the universe and arriving at the land of the universe."

"Yeah."

"So, you must be familiar with history?"

"A little bit, not much. When I was in school, I didn't study well and dropped out very early."

"Drop out of school? Why do you want to drop out of school?"

"I was born an orphan, I didn't study well, and I had no money, so I planned to make money early."

"Confused..."

Li Shimin curled his lips.

"So, how did you cross this distance of 1,400 years?"

"do not know."

"Ok?"

"really do not know."

Li Zhongren shook his head half-seriously.

"All I know is that after I woke up, someone told me that I could trade with people from this era and bring things from the future to buy and sell."

"hiss"

Li Shimin was a great strategist, and it was no exaggeration to describe him as a man of great talent and strategy. With just this one sentence, he knew the value of this seemingly harmless young man in front of him. After all, the history of China is a history of continuous evolution. According to historical records, from the ancient times of the Shang Dynasty's living sacrifices, to the Zhou Dynasty's Zhou Li, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the unification of the world by the First Emperor, and to the present day, the world is progressing, and everything is progressing.

Today's Tang army can certainly sweep away any army of the same size in ancient times, because today's weapons are better, today's tactics are more magical, and today's generals have absorbed the wisdom of the ancients' military tactics and brought forth new ideas.

So, how advanced will weapons be in 1,400 years?
This might be a problem he couldn't imagine.

To be honest, there was a moment when he wanted to kill this young man, but he was only 29 years old, he was in his prime. It took him only a few years to conquer the world. Now, he was at the peak of his life. He also keenly realized one thing: his Tang Dynasty had followed the footsteps of other dynasties and would not last forever.

So, if he could get enough benefits from this young man, or know the future disadvantages, could he prolong the Tang Dynasty's national destiny?
Of course, there is also a question, that is, what is the purpose of the existence that can allow people to cross 1,400 years?
After a moment, Li Shimin shook his head. He was confident, not conceited.

Such great power, like that of the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, is beyond his imagination. It is enough for him to do what he should do.

Perhaps, one day in the future, when the national strength of his Tang Dynasty has been raised to the extreme and the dragon energy of the Tang Dynasty is strong enough to compete with the gods and Buddhas, he will be qualified to ask this matter.

"So, you believe me?"

After pondering for a moment, Li Zhongren asked.

"It's too early to tell whether you believe it or not."

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Moreover, your usefulness to me lies in your ability to buy things. No matter where those things come from, as long as they are useful and safe, they are useful to the Tang Dynasty. As for your knowledge of future history, it does not mean much to me."

"why?"

"How can I believe that what you said is true and not made up? If I have other thoughts about a person who is originally loyal to me because of what you said, wouldn't that be counterproductive? So, I warn you one thing, you must not tell anyone that you are from a thousand years later. You are just an alien who can sell things. If you tell anyone, I will kill you."

"Understood, understood."

Li Zhongren nodded.

"After that, someone will take you to another place, and there will be people to serve you when you eat, drink, defecate and urinate. However, you cannot leave your residence until I discuss with my Tang officials how to give you an identity."
-
"That's the thing."

Li Shimin leaned on the throne and looked at the ministers below.

These people are all good brothers who fought with me from Tiance Mansion.

They all knew about the arrival of the alien. After all, they had sealed off the entire Taiji Palace, so it was impossible to hide the news. The only thing they could do was not let people know that the alien came from a thousand years later.

"He said he could trade with people and conjure up some magical items, so what kind of official position should be assigned to him?"

"Return to Your Majesty."

The people below hesitated for a moment, and finally, Fang Xuanling came out.

"A foreigner with an unknown origin cannot be given a position of authority, or even an official position. At most, he can be granted a title, and that is only after he has proven his ability."

"What do you think?"

"I agree with Zuo Pushe's words."

Below, the other people from Tiance Mansion all nodded.

This is indeed the case. It is risky to incorporate a person of unknown origin into the bureaucratic system of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the other party is more like a businessman. The lessons of the ancients have proved that businessmen should not be given rights.

After all, the actions of the Tian family during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period had completely blocked the merchants' way out.

From then on, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were always ranked last.

It’s not that people don’t recognize the value of business.

On the contrary, it is because we realize it too much that we need to impose restrictions.

You have money and power, what do you want to do?
