Chapter 169 The King of Destruction
As expected, the barbarian finally came to Shangshu Ling's house.

Not long after, the Hu man left Shangshu Ling's Mansion again and was about to leave. He didn't go far when his vision suddenly went dark and he fainted.

This night is destined to be restless.

Dali Temple and the Imperial Guards arrested people all over the city, at least hundreds of people were arrested.

After a sudden interrogation overnight, the truth about the so-called demon incident was finally revealed.

Just as Ding Xiu guessed, it was entirely the fault of those barbarians.Of course, these barbarians would not make such a big noise for no reason.

After all, once the matter is revealed, not only will they be destroyed, but more barbarians will be implicated. Not only will the court take action, but the people will also be hostile.

The reason why they did this was because there were people behind the scenes who had instructions, including important officials in the court and even the king.

If this had been the case before, the Queen would have gone on a killing spree again.

But this time it was very strange. No one was killed, and not a word was mentioned about the mastermind behind the scenes. They just said that some barbarians were audacious and overestimated their own capabilities in an attempt to overthrow the Tang Dynasty. Now all of them have been arrested and brought to justice.

Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good, and Shendu City suddenly became calm.

The people share the same hatred of the enemy, speak unanimously to the outside world, and hate those barbarians who are causing trouble.

The barbarians living in Shendu City are cautious, for fear of getting into trouble, and some even don't even go out.

All the ministers also speculated on the queen's thoughts. They had no idea what the queen was planning, and they naturally acted more cautiously.

In fact, all this happened because the Queen adopted Ding Xiu's opinion.

Ding Xiu said to the Queen: "The effect of hanging a knife on a person's neck is far better than killing that person with one knife."

Killing someone is quick, but it will arouse more anger and hatred.

However, putting the knife on that person's neck can intimidate more people, fearing that one day the knife will be placed on their own necks.

In this way, the queen finally successfully completed the coronation ceremony and became the first queen in history.

As for how she will govern the world in the future, it is none of Ding Xiu's business. After all, he is just a passing passerby. When he comes to this world, he can be regarded as witnessing a piece of history.

A few months later, Ding Xiu traveled through time again.

Space-time transformation.

This time, Ding Xiu finally came to the modern world.

Late at night, on the streets of Xiangjiang.

A naked man stood in the middle of the road, looking around with sharp eyes.

Suddenly, two policemen came over.

"Did you call the police?"

"Yes, sir."

"Snatched away?"

"Yes...take it all."

"What is your name?"

"He Jinyin..."

"ID card!"

"Officer, look at where I can hide my ID card..."

At this time, Ding Xiu came over and called out to He Jinyin: "Hey, Ah Yin, what's going on with you?"

"You are..." He Jinyin looked confused.

"Have you forgotten? I am a frequent visitor to your ice room."

"Oh, no wonder sir looks familiar." He Jinyin looked like he suddenly understood.

"This gentleman, do you know him?"

"Sir, he is He Jinyin, the guy from Rongji Ice Room..."

The two sirs briefly checked in and then left.

"Ah Yin, here you go, put it on quickly." Ding Xiu threw out a set of clothes like a magic trick.

"Huh?" He Jinyin looked surprised: "Where did this come from?"

"You don't have to worry about this..."

"Right."

He Jinyin quickly put on his clothes and then said thank you with a grateful face.

The next day, He Jinyin started another busy day.

His main task is to deliver food, and he is nicknamed "Takeaway Boy".

I was often bullied outside, and when I came back to the store, I was often bullied by the shopkeeper and waiters.

At noon, a customer wearing sunglasses suddenly shouted: "Boss, why is there a fly in my soup?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then glanced at He Jinyin subconsciously.

A guy named A Niu pushed He Jinyin out hard.

"Where is it? Let me take a look." He Jinyin had no choice but to step forward and ask the customer.

Then, his eyes widened with an exaggerated expression: "Xiaoqiang..."

"Don't do this to me." The customer picked up the newspaper and took a photo of it angrily.

"As for the soup, I took a few sips, and now I find this fly swimming around in the soup, as if it was laughing at me."

"You don't need to say it!" The boss said with a hateful expression: "We who open restaurants have always been very hygienic, and we have always hated flies..."

When he said this, he actually stretched out his hand to grab the fly from the soup, and then threw it to the ground fiercely: "Quick, crush it to death!"

The other two guys cooperated tacitly and rushed forward immediately, stomping on them with a murderous look.

He Jinyin went even more exaggerated, smashing a beer bottle and saying to the customer: "Don't worry, we are very hygienic when doing business, I will definitely help you out."

The customer looked helpless: "I just want to change a bowl of soup. Why are you making such a fuss? Just give it to me."

Upon hearing this, He Jinyin immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, stop..."

Unexpectedly, the boss raised his hand and pointed at He Jinyin: "The flies are on him."

So, the two guys rushed forward and started punching each other again.

The customer shook his head, took out a banknote and threw it on the table: "Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After speaking, he got up and left.

The boss looked proud: "If we hadn't made such a big fuss, not only would we have to pay for a bowl of soup, but we wouldn't be able to receive any money..."

At this time, another customer next to him said slowly: "If you keep doing this business, you probably won't be able to receive any money in the future."

Upon hearing this, the boy named A Niu glared and shouted with a murderous look: "What did you say?"

"I said, why is there a fly in my bowl?"

Ding Xiu raised his finger and pointed at his soup bowl.

A Niu rolled his eyes and pushed He Jinyin over again.

"Xiaoqiang..." He Jinyin did this again.

"Stop making trouble..." Ding Xiu said with a smile.

"Hey, is it you?" He Jinyin finally recognized Ding Xiu.

"Yes... Look, this fly is swimming around in the bowl. What do you think we should do?"

"This... how about..." He Jinyin was about to say change to a bowl of soup.

Unexpectedly, the boss came over aggressively and said with a domineering look: "We who open restaurants are most particular about hygiene and hate flies the most..."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to catch the fly again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached out his hand, Ding Xiu reached out and grabbed him: "You don't need to do your tricks again. You must be honest in doing business. If you do business like this, you will offend all your customers sooner or later."

"Boss, I think what he said makes sense." He Jinyin said seriously.

"Stinky boy, what did you say?"

A Niu stepped forward and pushed He Jinyin away.

"Oh, this boss is really bad at doing business..."

"Forget it, I won't come here next time."

Several other customers also spoke out.

At this time, the boss finally realized the problem and quickly smiled at Ding Xiu: "I'm sorry, I'll give you a bowl of soup..."

"No, I'm not in the mood to drink anymore."

After saying that, Ding Xiu stood up and left.In the evening, He Jinyin walked home exhausted.

It is said to be a home, but in fact it is a small tin house on the rooftop. It looks like a steamer in summer and an ice cellar in winter.

However, He Jinyin is still very satisfied. At least he still has a nest in this city, which is better than those homeless people sleeping in parks or under overpasses.

When they returned to the rooftop, a figure suddenly walked out.

He Jinyin was startled and took a step back hastily. Then he saw clearly and said with a look of surprise: "Mr. Ding, why are you here?"

"Haha, it's nothing, I just happened to pass by."

"Really, what a coincidence..."

"Ah Yin, come, sit down and chat."

Ding Xiu sat by the railing on the rooftop, where some beer and cooked food were placed.

He Jinyin hesitated for a while, and finally walked over and sat down.

Ding Xiu opened a can of beer and handed it to He Jinyin: "Here, drink."

"Thank you!"

After taking a few sips of beer, Ding Xiu asked, "Ah Yin, what are your plans for the future?"

"after?"

He Jinyin was stunned.

Some of his past dreams could not help but appear in his mind.

When he was a child, he once thought about being a scientist, a sailor, a knight...

In short, as his age changes, his dreams have also changed.

Now he has no dreams, because he has no time to think about it. He delivers food during the day, and when he gets home at night, he is very tired and falls asleep next to the pillow.

When I wake up early in the morning, I have to go to the store quickly. If I go late, I will be scolded by the boss.

"Yeah, you have to have a goal in life, right?"

Hearing this, He Jinyin subconsciously glanced at the small iron house.

It would be wrong to say that he has no goals in life at all. In fact, he once thought about having a girlfriend and starting a family. That would be a complete life.

However, who is willing to live with him in this small tin house?

Therefore, He Jinyin shook his head blankly: "I don't know."

"Are you just going to be a delivery boy for the rest of your life? Don't you want to do something more meaningful?"

He Jinyin smiled sheepishly: "But I don't know anything."

"No, you can learn..."

Having said this, Ding Xiu stood up and walked a few steps, then opened his stance and threw a set of punches like a leaping dragon and a tiger.

"This……"

He Jinyin couldn't help but widen his eyes and his blood boiled.

Like many teenagers, he once had a martial arts dream, but life flattened his will and extinguished his dream.

Seeing Ding Xiu do this, he realized that martial arts masters really existed in this world, not just in movies.

After Ding Xiu accepted the move, He Jinyin couldn't help but stand up and asked, "Excuse me, can you teach me?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "Do you have time to learn? Practicing martial arts is very hard."

"I……"

For a moment, He Jinyin didn't know how to answer.

"If you want to change your destiny, you must think carefully about what you need, what you should choose, and what you should give up..."

These words made He Jinyin fall into deep thought.

When he woke up, he found that Ding Xiu had disappeared without knowing it.

The next morning.

The boss said loudly: "Ah Yin, are you deaf? Send these boxes of bento to the East Village quickly."

Ah Yin slowly walked up to the boss and said, "Boss, I don't want to do this."

"What? Don't want to do it? Did I hear wrongly?"

"Seriously, boss, I really don't want to do this."

At this time, several other guys came around and made sarcastic remarks.

"Ah Yin, if you don't deliver takeout, what else can you do?"

"Haha, is it possible that you still want to be the boss?"

He Jinyin smiled and said nothing.

The boss frowned, raised his hand and patted He Jinyin on the shoulder: "Ah Yin, do you feel unhappy here?"

"not me……"

"That's all, I'll pay you the wages later, but if you want to come back, you can come back at any time."

The boss was a rare moment of generosity.

That night, Ding Xiu appeared on the rooftop again.

"Great, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." He Jinyin stepped forward with a look of surprise on his face.

"Why, finally figured it out?"

He Jinyin nodded: "Well, I thought about it last night. You are right. I can't deliver food all my life. I want to try to see if I can change myself."

"Very well, I will take you to a place tomorrow."

The next morning, Ding Xiu brought He Jinyin to a school: Global Elite Sports Center.

This school belongs to an aristocratic academy. In addition to cultural classes, there are also combat skills classes, such as judo, karate, swordsmanship, Western boxing, etc.

He Jinyin used to come here often to deliver food, so he was quite familiar with it.

"Eh? What did you bring me here for?" He Jinyin looked surprised.

Ding Xiu smiled: "You'll know when we get there."

Soon after, the two came to an open space outside the football field.

There is a grocery store in the middle of the open space, and there is a sign hanging next to it with four eye-catching characters: Savior of the Coward!
Ding Xiu walked over, revealing a bearded face full of vicissitudes of life, and asked feebly: "What do you want to buy?"

"Three cans of beer!"

"30 yuan, thank you."

Ding Xiu took the beer, opened a can, and then handed it to the shop owner: "Uncle Da, you can have a can too."

"This...how is this so embarrassing?"

Uncle Da said he was sorry, but he was not polite in his hand. He picked up the beer can and started drinking.

At this time, He Jinyin came over, picked up a can of beer and drank it.

"Uncle Da, I have found an apprentice for you."

"Huh?" Uncle Da was stunned: "What apprentice?"

"Of course he is a kung fu apprentice."

"Kung Fu?" He Jinyin glanced at Uncle Da with a surprised look on his face: "Him?"

Judging from his expression, he obviously didn't believe it.

Uncle Da also looked at Ding Xiu with a surprised look on his face: "I wonder who this brother is?"

Ding Xiu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Ding Xiu! Uncle Da doesn't know me, but I know Uncle Da's glory back then."

"What the hell is going on here?" He Jinyin was still confused.

"Ah Yin, don't underestimate Uncle Da. Uncle Da is the master of ancient Chinese boxing. In the 70s, he participated in the first free fighting competition in Southeast Asia and won the championship.

In the 80s, he defeated all karate masters in Japan for three consecutive years and won the All-Japan Free Fighting Championship, nicknamed...Devil Muscular Man..."

"pat..."

The beer can in He Jinyin's hand fell to the ground.

He never imagined that such a humble old grocer could have such a big background.

However, if he is so strong, why is he like this?Just like a homeless person.
