Chapter 2226 Much the same 16.0

"This shopkeeper actually cursed? It's amazing, he's really brave!" Shen Cha felt that he had almost digested the food and didn't feel bloated anymore, so he pulled Shen Haolin back to sit and said cheerfully, "When Second Grandpa was young, his temper probably wasn't that bad, so you didn't get angry with him?"

"That's right. Your second grandfather was really angry with him. He didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so bold. He knew who he was, but he still pointed at his nose and called him stupid, dumb, and confused, saying that he was just a playboy and couldn't handle this case at all."

"Wow!"

After hearing what Qin Zheng said, the children were all surprised and looked like they were enjoying the fun.

"Look at these kids, what are their expressions?" Qin Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stretched out his hand and pointed at them from a distance, saying, "Are they so happy to hear the elders tell stories about the past, or some embarrassing stories?"

"It's a pity that we can't participate in the past of our elders, but it's also good to have the opportunity to listen to what happened in the past. What's more, our elders have experienced much more than us. If we encounter such a situation in the future, maybe we can use it as a reference to avoid the wrong path that our elders have taken, right? This can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, isn't it?"

"That's not wrong." Qin Zheng sighed, "Your second grandfather was a little younger than you are now, about 16 or 17 years old. He was a little older than Xiaojiu, but to be honest, because he had always lived in Xijing City and had not seen much of the outside world, his mind was indeed a little simple, and he was a bit of a bully."

"He is not bullying others by taking advantage of his power. He was just fooled by the lectures of the Imperial Academy and the Eastern Palace. He always thinks that he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. He never thought that those people would not even give face to His Majesty, let alone a mere prince like him. In the face of absolute interests, they would not even take God into consideration."

"Xiao Tian'er is right. No one will give face to those gold and silver treasures that are within easy reach. If the situation goes too far, they may kill people to silence them." Qin Zheng sighed softly, "I didn't say that. This is what the innkeeper said. But you know the temper of the second master. He didn't believe it at all. He felt that those people were not so brave and could not kill people in broad daylight. Daxia has laws."

"It's indeed naive enough!" Jin Miaomiao sighed, "And then what? Did the shopkeeper just give up like that?"

"What else? Do we have to fight?" Qin Zheng spread his hands. "The shopkeeper will definitely not agree. Putting aside the identity of the Second Master, with his ability, if he fights, it will really be bullying the weak! But the Second Master doesn't know this. He clearly told Zheng Zheng that when he returns to Beijing, he will go to His Royal Highness the Eagle King to complain."

"Complain?" Jin Miaomiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How? What? Did the shopkeeper disrespect him?"

"It should be that the lawsuit was not successful, right?" Jin Jing recalled, "When His Royal Highness the Eagle King accompanied His Majesty here before, they also met with the Second Master, and we didn't see any discord or grudges between them."

"Of course, the complaint failed. The people from Lord Liu's side stopped Second Master. Second Master didn't know that they have been near Jiangning Prefecture for many years and naturally know what kind of power His Royal Highness the Eagle King has here." Yan Bo looked at the duck tongue on his table and felt that he didn't want to eat it. He looked at the frozen pear on Qin Zheng's table, reached out and took it, picked up the spoon, and said while eating, "The shopkeeper is not an ordinary person. Even if Second Master complains to the emperor, he won't get any advantage. He may even be fined!"

"Is this shopkeeper so powerful?" Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian exchanged glances, and saw shock in each other's eyes. "Where does he come from?"

"If he wasn't so old and in poor health, here, I mean Jiaping Pass would be guarded by him. If he had come earlier, the situation here wouldn't be so bad. He had taken over the command that year, but before he was ready to leave, he fell seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed. There was really no other way, so we chose Cai Xingting from the Five Cities Army." "A guy who likes to brag and talk big." Xue Ruitian sneered, "Back then, my grandfather, the Shen family's grandfather, the Xia family's grandfather, and His Royal Highness the Eagle King who came to be the military supervisor were all suppressing rebellions in the southwest and had no time to take care of other things. It was five or six years later when they left the southwest. By that time, the gate to the north was already crumbling." He paused for a moment, thought about it, and suddenly jumped up, "I... I remember! It's him? It's him! Right?"

"Yes, it's him!" Yan Bo saw Xue Ruitian jumping up and down excitedly, and shook his head helplessly, then looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "You two don't remember anything?"

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.

"Think about it carefully, it's him, it's him!" Xue Ruitian rushed to the two people, and saw that they were still confused, and felt a little disappointed, "It's him, it's him! The shopkeeper, the third Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!"

"Ah? Ah!"

As soon as the four words "Tota Heavenly King" appeared, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha finally understood why Xue Ruitian was so excited. They couldn't believe their ears and couldn't believe what they heard.

"It seems like you two know about this, too, right?" Qin Zheng looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, whose eyes lit up instantly. "Do you really know? Are you not pretending?"

"Of course I know, Master!" Shen Cha grabbed Shen Haolin's sleeve and shook it vigorously twice. "That's the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, the legendary god of war who is invincible. I heard that Li Tianwang has experienced thousands of battles in his life, big and small, and has never lost a battle. What's more, he is best at defeating the enemy with a small force. The 30,000 elite soldiers under his command can defeat a hundred enemies with one."

"Not only that, he has been at the forefront of thousands of battles and has never hidden behind. No matter how difficult the battle was, he has never been injured, not even a scratch." Shen Haolin also became excited when talking about this Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. "I originally thought that this person was actually made up, but I didn't expect that he actually existed."

"That's right!" Shen Cha nodded. "I remember that Master Huilan liked to talk about several generals under the Eagle King the most, and he talked about Li Tianwang the most. We listened very attentively every time." She reached out and patted Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian. "My brother and Xiaotian also said that it would be great if they could see the elegance of the Tower-Bearing Heavenly King with their own eyes."

"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "I did say that. I didn't expect that the grandson of Tota Heavenly King would hide in a small inn in Jiangning Prefecture. It's incredible."

"He was not hiding it. After that serious illness, his physical condition was really bad. The climate in Jiangnan was pleasant, which was very suitable for him to recuperate, so he went to Jiangning Prefecture. It happened that there was an inn there. While recuperating, he watched over the inn and collected information for His Royal Highness the Eagle King." Yan Bo chuckled, "The answer to Jiangning Prefecture passed through his hands."

"As expected of the descendant of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, he is so amazing!" Shen Cha said with emotion, "But we probably won't get to meet him, right? Does he have any descendants?"

"No." Yan Bo shook his head gently. "I heard that when he was young, he liked a girl, but because of an accident and misunderstanding, he thought that girl betrayed him and revealed the Eagle King's secret, so he took the girl's life with his own hands." At this point, he sighed again and said regretfully, "Later it was proved that the girl was bewitched and was inadvertently tricked. He felt that he did not protect his beloved well, and it was all his fault. Probably because of this, he died alone all his life."
