My timeless tavern

Chapter 417 Zhuge Liang: A masterpiece of genius, a work of immortals!
The moment Liu Chan released his supernatural powers, a slight feeling of dizziness suddenly entered Zhuge Liang's mind.

Those inexplicable memories from earlier faded away like the tide.

He held the sword in one hand, his expression blank.

Hearing Liu Chan's words, he was shocked and quickly threw away his sword, knelt on the ground, and said in fear: "I deserve to die!"

After waking up with a start, he found that he had been possessed by a demon.

He was very clear about Liu Chan's identity. His appearance and demeanor were very similar to those of the late emperor. How could he have such a ridiculous idea?

"Please get up quickly, Prime Minister!" Liu Chan hurriedly helped him up.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang still wanted to speak, he said helplessly: "That was my ability just now!"

"Ability?" Zhuge Liang was surprised.

Liu Chan talked about his super powers.

Zhuge Liang's face changed several times, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He almost thought there was something wrong with his brain.

Since it is the ability of the gods, then everything can be explained clearly.

"Don't tell anyone about this!" he warned.

He has already realized the extraordinary nature of Liu Chan's ability.

After he was tricked, he was certain that he was his illegitimate son, without even a shred of doubt.

The same thing will happen to others if they are not prepared.

With this ability alone, if used properly, conquering the world would be a piece of cake.

"I understand," Liu Chan said disapprovingly, "It doesn't matter even if other people know!"

Zhuge Liang thought about it and agreed.

This ability is beyond the comprehension of mortals and cannot be guarded against at all.

"If Your Majesty wants to use this ability in the future, you need to consider that person's personality..." Zhuge Liang said.

Rashly recognizing someone as your father may not always bring you benefits.

There are fathers who plot against their sons, and there are even more heroes who are willing to sacrifice their own relatives for the sake of justice.

Liu Chan asked him about this issue.

Zhuge Liang spoke his mind and made careful analyses.

When facing someone who is known for his filial piety, you can pretend to be the reincarnation of his ancestor.

If the target is someone who is ungrateful and heartless, then use the identity of a brother to lure him in and then slowly take action.

"In most cases, it is most appropriate to acknowledge him as your father, even if it would be disgraceful to Your Majesty," said Zhuge Liang.

"Compared with the world, face means nothing." Liu Chan waved his hand.

If losing face a few times can lead to becoming the leader of the world, he doesn't mind making a fool of himself every day.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has this wonderful fate, and unifying the world is just around the corner. There is no need to do this."

Liu Chan stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and nodded, "That's true."

He turned to Zhuge Liang and explained the uses of those fine wines.

He intended to use this to exchange for gold from those aristocratic families, not really to let Zhuge Liang reward his subordinates.

Zhuge Liang naturally knew what he meant, but he also had many questions in his mind.

For example, how to set prices.

He was very surprised to learn that each of these wines was worth only four or five hundred kilograms of gold.

"It's so cheap," he guessed, "It seems that this thing is nothing to the gods."

"Of course," Liu Chan said with a smile, "If I had enough gold, it would be easy for me to step onto the sun and the moon... By the way, Prime Minister, do you know that the earth beneath our feet is a big ball?"

Zhuge Liang was not surprised: "The sky is like an egg, and the celestial bodies are round like bullets..."

Seeing Liu Chan's surprise, he smiled and said, "This is what Zhang Pingzi said in the "Annotations to the Hunyi", which makes a lot of sense."

He was proficient in astronomy and astrology, and was not unfamiliar with the Hun Tian Theory. Many things were verified in his practice.

The two began to talk about the origin of the universe.

Liu Chan heard a lot from Zhu Youjian and others, but he seemed to understand most of it and was soon left speechless by Zhuge Liang.

"Please wait, father. I will find you some future works next time." Seeing that there was nothing to say, he simply said.

Zhuge Liang was surprised: "Can the gods foresee the future?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Of course, I have also seen people from thousands of years later."

"But the future is different!" he added.

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized.

He still couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What should the future be like?"

Liu Chan suddenly fell silent and sighed, "My father won more battles than losses in the Northern Expedition, but he died before he could accomplish his mission. His successor Jiang Wei continued the Northern Expedition..."

Zhuge Liang secretly wrote down the name "Jiang Wei".

He had never heard of this person, but to be his successor, he must be both capable and a good person.

When he heard that Shu Han eventually lost its national strength and was conquered by Wei, Zhuge Liang sighed secretly, but was not surprised.

This was within his expectations.

Although Shu occupied a terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, its land area and population were limited, and its foundation was too shallow, making it difficult to compare with Wu and Wei.

The internal situation of Shu Kingdom was not monolithic. The Shuzhong faction and the Jingzhou faction had always been at loggerheads, and only he could barely maintain a balance between the two.

If we do not take the initiative to attack and break through these mountains, we will sooner or later fall under the cavalry of Wei.

Liu Chan, who was talking about the original course of history, suddenly saw Zhuge Liang looking at him. He coughed lightly and said seriously: "Seeing that the country is irreversibly destroyed, I hang myself on a crooked tree on the rockery behind the palace, and sacrifice my life for the country!"

Zhuge Liang was a little skeptical, but he still admitted his guilt: "It's all due to my incompetence!"

"It's all in the past!" Liu Chan laughed and said, "Although Wei had the last laugh, Cao's kingdom was still stolen by Sima!"

"Sima?" Zhuge Liang was surprised.

Liu Chan spoke with great excitement about how Sima Zhao, the son of Sima Yi, abused his power in the Wei Kingdom, and how his son Sima Yan forced the Cao family to abdicate, ascended the throne as emperor, and established the Western Jin Dynasty.

When talking about the conspiracy against Cao's kingdom, he looked excited, as if he had achieved great revenge.

Zhuge Liang naturally believed in his words.

Thinking about how the three kingdoms of Shu, Wei and Wu, which had been fighting for supremacy, ended up like this, he felt quite emotional and even suspected that this was a punishment from God on the Cao family.

"Since Your Majesty knows so many things, what talents can we cultivate in the future of Shu?" he suddenly asked.

"A promising talent?" Liu Chan's words were suddenly interrupted, and his expression was a little confused.

At the time, he only listened to Zhu Youjian's bragging. What he remembered most was that the Sima family seized the throne from the Cao family, which was followed by a hundred years of war. Later, the Yang family established the Sui Dynasty, which died in the second generation and was replaced by the Li Tang Dynasty.

He was very interested in people like Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin and even Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, as for what talents were available in Shu, he only remembered a few names such as Jiang Wei and did not ask in detail.

When he met Zhuge Liang's gaze, he rarely felt the guilt he had in the past.

"Time is limited, so I didn't find out too much." He argued, "Next time I come here, I will definitely find out everything."

Zhuge Liang was secretly disappointed, but also secretly relieved.

This kind of Liu Chan is just like the guy in his mind who is playful, lazy and always has a headache when reading.

If the other party had changed too much, he would have thought that the former emperor's orphan had been possessed by another soul.

"What happened to Sima later?" he asked. Liu Chan started talking again with great interest.

He is playful by nature, but not stupid, and has a good memory.

He remembered everything Zhu Youjian said.

When Zhuge Liang heard from him about the prosperous Tang Dynasty when all nations came to pay tribute, a look of deep longing flashed across his face.

This is what he has always hoped for!
After hearing about the wealth of the Song Dynasty, Zhuge Liang was fascinated.

As the Prime Minister of Shu Han, half of his gray hair was caused by worrying about insufficient money and food.

He advocated doing good to the people and letting them recuperate, and naturally should not exploit them excessively, but wars cost a lot of money!

"The Song Dynasty had gold and silver, but it valued culture over military power. It was cowardly towards foreign enemies and was bullied by foreign tribes. In its heyday, its territory was smaller than that of the Wei Kingdom. In its later years, it only controlled the area of ​​the Sun Wu Kingdom... In the end, the world was taken away by the barbarians on the grasslands!"

Hearing the disdain in Liu Chan's tone, Zhuge Liang said seriously: "If you lose your courage, the country will be destroyed in no time!"

Liu Chan always felt that these words seemed to be hinting at him.

He held his head high and said, "I swear to live and die with the world!"

He didn't dare to tell Zhuge Liang his title of "Duke Anle".

When Zhu Youjian told him about this matter, he could clearly see the contempt in the other party's eyes. The strange looks from the others made him feel a rare sense of shame.

"What happened next?" Zhuge Liang seemed to be just speaking from his own feelings and continued to ask.

Liu Chan spoke of Zhu Yuanzhang with great interest.

"My father, you don't know that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty was born a beggar. He even became a monk to beg for food. When my father died, he could only borrow a straw mat to bury him..."

He talked incessantly.

He heard all this history from Zhu Youjian.

When saying these words, Zhu Youjian naturally brought in personal emotions and focused on his ancestors.

Zhu Yuanzhang's experience itself is quite legendary.

Looking through history, he was the only emperor who truly rose from the grassroots.

"The Ming Taizu Emperor was very brave. He demanded that his descendants not marry, pay compensation, cede territory, or pay tribute. During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor guarded the country's gates and the emperor died for the country!" Liu Chan exclaimed in admiration. "The dynasty lasted for nearly three hundred years. The last emperor died on Coal Hill... and finally jumped into the sea!"

When he said this, Liu Chan felt inexplicably guilty.

Zhuge Liang was full of admiration: "I wish I could meet him in person!"

Liu Chan was proud: "I saw him!"

Zhuge Liang looked at him in surprise.

"He, like me, has just started his army... Father, can you guess what kind of martial spirit he has obtained?" Liu Chan asked with interest.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and asked, "Is it the giant tripod that symbolizes the rule of the world?"

Liu Chan shook his head.

Zhuge Liang made several guesses in succession, but they were all rejected one by one.

"It's a sesame cake!" Liu Chan laughed.

Zhuge Liang also looked extremely surprised.

"He also had a descendant who went there. He was the fallen king of the Ming Dynasty. The martial spirit he obtained was the tree he hanged himself on..." Liu Chan said this with great interest, and suddenly realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

He quickly shut up and changed the subject abruptly, "However, the Ming Dynasty was eventually destroyed by another group of barbarians. Hundreds of years later, the country was opened by the barbarians in the West with guns and cannons..."

After listening to Liu Chan's words, Zhuge Liang was also quite moved.

He suddenly thought of the rifles Liu Chan had taken out and asked, "Are those guns of yours the weapons of the future?"

Liu Chan nodded and mentioned what he had heard about the skyscrapers, cars and airplanes of the future.

"I also got a treasure." Liu Chan took out the Iron Man suit stored in the ring.

When Zhuge Liang saw the metal object he took out, he showed curiosity.

Liu Chan glanced at him and felt secretly proud.

He reached out and pressed the button on the portable Iron Man suit, and a series of clicking sounds suddenly came out.

Zhuge Liang subconsciously took two steps back.

Liu Chan stepped forward and put his feet on his battle suit.

After just a few breaths, the battle suit covered his entire body.

Looking at this miraculous scene, Zhuge Liang's eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Could this be the armor of the future?"

Liu Chan lifted his visor and said proudly: "Ordinary troops can't afford to be equipped with such uniforms!"

He gave the order quietly, and a blue flame emerged from under his feet, carrying him into the air.

But as soon as he stood up, he almost fell because he didn't have good balance.

After hovering crookedly in the air for several minutes, Liu Chan finally adapted to the battle suit thanks to his extraordinary physique.

He was suspended in the air, one meter above the ground, looking down at the stunned Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "What do you think of this battle suit, father?"

Zhuge Liang blurted out a few words after a long while: "A masterpiece of divine craftsmanship, a work of immortals!"

He originally thought that this thing was just an ordinary armor that just looked a little more advanced, but he never expected that it could also allow people to fly!
"Haha, its function is not limited to this!" Liu Chan laughed.

He raised his hands and pointed them at the table ten meters away.

A palm cannon flew out, breaking the table into pieces in an instant.

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened even further.

Liu Chan's performance always refreshes his cognition.

"My father-in-law is stabbing me with a knife!" Liu Chan said.

"Okay!" Zhuge Liang knew what he meant.

He picked up the sword on the ground and chopped at Liu Chan's arm without hesitation.

With a clanging sound, the sword broke into two pieces!
Zhuge Liang was shocked and asked in a trembling voice: "How long can this thing last?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "It won't be a problem to fly continuously for several years!"

Zhuge Liang's expression became more and more excited, and he kowtowed and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, on obtaining the divine armor!"

With this item, it will be as easy as taking something out of a bag to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory and capture the enemy's capital.

There is no longer any obstacle to the revival of the Han Dynasty!

Liu Chan landed on the ground, helped him up, and said, "Father, can you find the palace of Wei?"

Zhuge Liang understood his intention, and his mind became a little excited for a moment. He said in a deep voice: "As long as you identify the direction, it will not be difficult to find it!"

"Then please come with me, Prime Minister!" Liu Chan laughed.

"I would rather die than decline!" Zhuge Liang bowed.

Liu Chan waved his hand and took out the Green Goblin suit that he had quickly bought at the tavern when he returned to the palace not long ago.

This thing is much inferior to Iron Man's suit, but in this era it is comparable to a magical weapon.

After explaining how to use it, he helped Zhuge Liang put it on.

Wearing the Green Goblin suit, Zhuge Liang studied it for a few seconds, then stepped on the Green Goblin skateboard and jumped up.

Before he could sigh, Liu Chan grabbed his arm and said with a smile, "Father, please follow me!"

"Today I will make Cao look bad!"
