When Chen Ning saw the person coming, he almost got scared to death. The person was none other than the First Emperor, Ying Zheng, whom he had pulled in to be his backer!

When Ying Zheng saw Chen Ning's reaction, he knew that he had found the right person. Even if he had, this person must know something. Thinking of this, Ying Zheng simply took off his hat and just looked at Chen Ning.

Chen Ning glanced at Ying Zheng. His face was resolute and majestic, a natural-born emperor. He was nearly two meters tall, a full half a head taller than himself. Not to mention his cultivation, his appearance alone was intimidating, and he knew his identity...

Chen Ning felt a pang of fear in his heart. Qin Shi Huang, the greatest emperor of all time! Even though he was his most respected ancestor, now he was right in front of him, and it was obvious that he was looking for him. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

"Little brother, you are a guest. It's not nice to let me stand outside the door like this."

In the end, it was Ying Zheng who spoke first. Although his tone was the calmest, it sounded like the might of heaven to Chen Ning.

"Come in, come in!"

Chen Ning came to his senses and quickly moved away.

Ning Zhiyuan, who was counting the goods at the counter, looked at Ying Zheng calmly, and a solemnity that had never been seen before appeared in his eyes!

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

Damn it, if it’s a disaster, you can’t avoid it. If it’s a blessing, I’ll take it. After Chen Ning thought it through, he was no longer so timid.

"Bring me a pot of wine and some of their signature dishes."

"Okay, wait a moment, Lao Hei, get to work. Go to the back and get half a pound of beef, a plate of peanuts, and three ounces of pork head."

Wang!

"Here you are! Sir, your wine is the Peace Wine, our signature drink!"

"Peace wine? What a great name."

Chen Ning finished serving the wine and was about to leave when Ying Zheng suddenly said, "Little brother, sit down and have a drink with me. I'm new here and don't know anyone."

Chen Ning was shocked. I had just arrived and didn't know anyone. Was he telling me this? Did he find out?

Looking at Ying Zheng's faint smile, Chen Ning felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, revealing a smile uglier than crying: "Sir, the boy is working?!"

"The shopkeeper's!"

Ying Zheng suddenly shouted to Ning Zhiyuan at the counter.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Could you please have a drink with me, young man? Drinking alone is a bit boring."

"Chen Ning, when did you become so ignorant? The guest invited you to drink, which means he thinks highly of you. Why are you acting so arrogantly?"

"Yes! The shopkeeper..."

Chen Ning's voice was trembling as he spoke, "Boss, don't you have any sense at all?"

Wang!

Heizi carried a large tray and brought the dishes over.

"This dog is quite interesting."

Although he was a little scared, Chen Ning still explained: "Old...sir, he is my brother, his name is Heizi."

Brother? A strange look flashed in Ying Zheng's eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and said to Heizi, "Brother Hei, do you want to have a drink together?"

When Heizi heard this, his eyes lit up and said, "I like this!"

Wang!

"Little brother, what did Brother Hei say?"

"Oh! Lao Hei said he can't drink alcohol, because if he drinks, he gets drunk and bites people."

Woof woof! Heizi was very anxious. Damn it, I suffered because I can’t speak!

After three rounds of drinks, neither of them spoke again. Ying Zheng showed no signs of unease, continuing to drink his wine and eat his food. Chen Ning had no idea what Ying Zheng was up to and felt quite restless.

Finally, Ying Zheng suddenly asked casually, "Little brother, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

Here I come! Chen Ning was startled, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "What are you talking about? This is the first time I see you."

"Really?" Ying Zheng asked calmly. Suddenly, an overwhelming aura pressed down on Chen Ning. It wasn't a crushing pressure from a realm, but rather the majesty of an emperor who had long held a high position. Only then did Chen Ning truly experience what it meant to unify the six kingdoms, what it meant to be the first emperor of China, and what it meant to be the greatest emperor of all time!

Chen Ning's face was covered in sweat and his face was pale. This kind of psychological pressure was far more uncomfortable than the physical pressure.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng showed a hint of satisfaction. Good boy, you are not a coward. He restrained his arrogance and became the kind drinker before.

"I don't know how much you know, but what I do know is that I came into this world because of you."

Ying Zheng spoke with a powerful punch as soon as he opened his mouth, going straight to the point.

"Ahem!" Why are you still pretending? The old ancestor knows everything. Chen Ning simply spoke up, "Yes, we were originally in the same dimension, but in different time periods. You were born thousands of years earlier than me. And I also came to this world by accident. Of course, for some reason, I can randomly pull someone from our dimension here every hundred years."

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up. "Future generations? What happened to the Qin Dynasty after I passed away? Did Fusu govern the Qin Dynasty well? Was the Xiongnu threat resolved?"

Sure enough, no matter what, the person in front of him is still Chen Ning’s great ancestor, who is devoted to China.

"Help..." Chen Ning was about to tell a white lie, but it was so wrong. Someone else would come later. If I was exposed, wouldn't I be in trouble? It couldn't be that I, an immortal, could only live for a hundred years!

"Fusu did not inherit the throne. It was Hu Hai who succeeded. After your death, Zhao Gao and Li Si launched the Shaqiu coup, tampering with your will, leading to Hu Hai's succession to the throne, and Prince Su..."

"Young Master Su was forced to commit suicide..."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's eyes twitched slightly, but he didn't show any strong emotion. He just sighed softly, "I guessed it a long time ago. He's too soft-hearted. Although Hu Hai is a bit foolish, he shouldn't be that bad if he governs the country by law, right?"

"The First Emperor! Hu Hai did rule the country by law, but there should be a limit to any method. Too much is as bad as too little. Hu Hai's rule was tyrannical! In the end, there was a backlash, peasants revolted, nobles rebelled. Ultimately, it ended at the hands of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu..."

Ying Zheng, who had remained indifferent upon hearing the news of Fusu's death, now had tears in his eyes: "When prosperity comes, the people suffer! When chaos comes, the people suffer! I can only blame God for giving me too little time! I can only blame myself for not finding the elixir of immortality!"

Chen Ning was shocked. It turned out that the biggest reason why the history books said that Qin Shihuang was looking for the elixir of life was actually this!

Chen Ning went on to say, "In my time, China had no dynasties, no emperors, no nobles. There were no Xiongnu rebels outside, and no officials oppressing the people inside. There were only common people, everyone was equal, everyone had food and clothing. When they were young, they had their parents to accompany them, and when they were old, they had their children to care for them."

"Good! Good! Good! This is exactly what I expected, a prosperous era for the Great Qin!"

Ying Zheng's gloom cleared up and he laughed heartily, "Descendants, you have not disgraced the prestige of your ancestors! Hahahaha!!!"
