Chapter 263

~8 min read 1,463 words

Xu hour.

Weiyang Palace front hall.

Gu Shanhe waved his hand, and the entire palace was as bright as day.

This is the most special, highest-standard, and most unsettling banquet since Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, ascended the throne.

Below the imperial steps, left and right, sat all the important civil and military officials of the Great Han:

Prime Minister Gongsun Hong, Yushi Dafu Zhang Tang, Great General Wei Qing, Piaoji General Huo Qubing, Taipu Gongsun He, Langzhongling Li Guang... and many liehou and nine ministers.

Everyone sat upright, but the corners of their eyes could not help but look at the special seat on the imperial steps with awe.

On the imperial steps, there was originally only the emperor's throne.

Today, three seats were added beside the throne.

The seat slightly higher on the left was occupied by the First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng. He was in black casual clothes, scanning the people below with a calm gaze, and naturally had a momentum of looking down on the world.

The seat slightly higher on the right was occupied by Han Gaozu, Liu Bang. He changed into a more formal ceremonial dress, but his sitting posture was still casual.

He was holding a golden cup, sipping the imperial wine, his eyes spinning around the officials below, especially Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the more he looked, the more he liked it.

And the most eye-catching one was the seat set directly in front of the throne, slightly lower, but clearly independent of the official seats.

Gu Shanhe sat in white, sitting peacefully.

There was no wine or meat in front of him, only a cup of clear tea.

Although the position was "lower" than the two emperors, everyone knew that this "Immortal Master" who could fly on a sword, hold the sky screen, and bring the two emperors to descend, was the real protagonist today, and existed that even the two emperors had to treat with courtesy and even contain awe.

The sound of silk and bamboo was melodious, and the dancers were dancing.

Delicacies were presented like flowing water.

But the atmosphere of the banquet was always filled with an indescribable tension and strangeness.

The officials didn't taste the food, their minds had long flown to the nine heavens.

Gaozu manifests, First Emperor descends, Immortal Master is on the side... this wine was drunk with heart-pounding and inexplicable excitement.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.

Liu Che, as the host, toasted Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, and Gu Shanhe again, his words respectful.

Ying Zheng raised his glass to signal, while Liu Bang drank it all, laughing loudly:

"Good wine! Much better than the turbid wine I drank in Peixian back then! Kid Liu Che, knows how to enjoy!"

Gu Shanhe just picked up the teacup and signaled slightly.

After another round of toasting.

Gu Shanhe put down the teacup, his eyes swept over the Han civil and military officials below who were still respectful but still had suspicion, curiosity, and even a trace of imperceptible scrutiny in their eyes.

He knew that flying on a sword alone was not enough to make these proud Han elites completely convinced, especially in this Wudi dynasty with a strong "national war" atmosphere.

He needed to show a little more "means" to both harvest emotional points and completely establish his "transcendent" status here.

It's time.

He meditated in his heart: "System, redeem the generation permission of 【Top Ten Combat Power List of the Three Kingdoms Period】, target: all planes from the Qin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty."

【Command received.】

【Consume 1 million emotional points.】

【"Top Ten Combat Power List of the Three Kingdoms" is being generated... you can customize the list style and introduction focus.

Please choose: A. Romance Myth Style

B. Official History Research Style

C. Mixed Style (based on official history, supplemented by romance circulation and later evaluations)】

"C, mixed style." Gu Shanhe made a choice.

Romance is widely circulated and influential, which can trigger resonance and emotional fluctuations to the greatest extent;

Official history is the basis, which is rigorous, especially capable of deterring pragmatic factions like Liu Che and Wei Qing.

【Choice confirmed. The list is generated and can be released at any time.】

A slight arc appeared at the corner of Gu Shanhe's mouth.

He stood up slowly.

As soon as he stood up, the hall, which was still whispering, was silent in an instant.

Everyone's eyes focused on him.

Even Ying Zheng and Liu Bang on the top also put down their cups and looked over.

Liu Che leaned forward slightly, his expression focused.

"It's good to see the heroes of the Great Han today, with civil and military officials gathered together."

Gu Shanhe's voice was clear and peaceful, echoing in the wide hall.

"Just mentioned with the First Emperor and Gaozu, at the end of the Later Han Dynasty, the world was divided into three, heroes emerged, heroes rose together, its magnificence and excitement are no less than Chu-Han, no weaker than Spring and Autumn."

"Among them, those with unparalleled bravery and excellent combat power are like stars."

He paused, his eyes seemed to penetrate the roof of the hall and look at the endless night sky.

"Since there is such a grand event, why not let everyone comment on it together, who are the top ten... combat power peaks in the world when the world was divided into three hundreds of years later?"

Before the voice fell, Gu Shanhe raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and flicked lightly toward the empty space above the hall!

"Buzz—!"

There was no earth-shattering loud noise, but an invisible, vast and majestic power instantly filled the entire Weiyang Palace front hall!

Everyone, from Liu Che, Ying Zheng, Liu Bang, to Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and even the small officials in the last row, felt a sinking heart, as if being watched by invisible eyes, and their souls trembled for it.

Immediately after, a golden light flew out from Gu Shanhe's palm, at first only the size of a grain of rice, and instantly swelled in the wind, turning into a golden scroll that spanned the sky and shone brightly!

There were dragon and phoenix virtual shadows circling on the edge of the scroll, and mysterious runes flowed, emitting majestic, ancient, and majestic Dao rhymes full of iron and blood killing aura!

This golden scroll did not fly out of the hall, but hovered at the highest point of the hall, slowly unfolding horizontally, like a merit book spread out by the Heavenly Dao itself, or a hero list hung by the God of War!

At the top of the scroll, ten gilded characters appeared one by one, each weighing a thousand pounds, smashing into everyone's heart:

【Heavenly Dao Gold List · Top Ten Combat Power List of the Three Kingdoms】

Below the big characters was a slightly smaller annotation, the pen intent was chilling:

【This list includes the top ten in comprehensive evaluation of bravery, martial arts, and battlefield performance during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of camp loyalty or treachery, only bravery and combat merit are discussed.

Those on the list are all heroes of the time, ghosts and gods of the battlefield!】

"Three Kingdoms Combat Power List?"

"Later Han... divided into three? Which three countries?"

"Top ten in bravery and martial arts? This... isn't this the ten strongest people in the world?"

"Immortal Master's means! It is indeed the Immortal Master's means!"

After a brief dead silence, there was a burst of suppressed exclamations and discussions in the hall.

The generals, especially fierce generals like Huo Qubing and Li Guang, had their eyes lit up instantly!

Combat power list! Only bravery and combat merit are discussed!

For them, this is simply a temptation more exciting than being named a marquis!

The civil officials were shocked by the future prophecy of "the world divided into three".

Liu Che's pupils contracted, and his fingers gripped the wine glass unconsciously.

Later Han... divided into three?

The strong Han Dynasty he created would split into three kingdoms in later generations?

This news shocked him more than the Xiongnu's invasion!

But at this moment, he was more attracted by the "combat power list" itself.

He wanted to see what kind of hero characters would appear in China hundreds of years later!

Ying Zheng stared at the Heavenly Dao Gold List with burning eyes.

Great Qin was founded on military merit, and he himself advocated bravery.

This list is to his taste.

Liu Bang touched his chin and laughed: "The ten best at fighting? A bit interesting."

"I don't know if it's better than my Fan Kuai and Zhou Bo?"
