Chapter 384: When the Treasure Meets the Western Chu Hegemon-King

Mr. Wei revealed his identity, claiming to be a descendant of Han Xin.

The audience inside New Moon Restaurant exploded into an uproar!

Everyone stared at Zhang Lin in stunned disbelief, clearly never expecting the situation could develop like this!

When the crowd heard Mr. Wei tell the story of Han Xin and the treasure, they basically reacted the same as Zhang Dafo Ye.

They figured the story was either something Mr. Wei had heard somewhere, or something he had made up.

Otherwise, why would the Foyebu Society keep asking him whether this matter was true or false?

Many in the audience had even thought that what Zhang Lin said earlier — that the Japanese soldiers knew of the treasure's existence from historical records and tomb-robbing — meant that perhaps Mr. Wei's knowledge came from the Japanese soldiers.

But now, Mr. Wei claims he is a descendant of Han Xin.

Then what he knows could never have come from hearsay or fabrication.

For others, Han Xin's life is history.

But for Mr. Wei, it is the story of his own ancestors!

It is likely that how Han Xin obtained this treasure, and where this stone went after his death, were all recorded and passed down to his descendants!

Thinking of this, everyone grew excited.

Since Mr. Wei is a descendant of Han Xin, that means what he knows is absolutely accurate!

This stone very likely can be uncovered!

At this moment, the entire internet was shocked awake!

Many people who had been lurking online, treating everything after Mr. Wei's appearance as just a story, couldn't help but get excited along with everyone else.

That is no ordinary stone — it is a stone that, once held, lets a person never, ever lose!

No wonder Zhang Lin kept saying earlier that this treasure could affect the fate of a nation.

Just imagine — if such a stone truly existed, and it was placed in the hands of the state, how great would its effect be?

But just looking at Han Xin's life makes it clear: the treasure, combined with Han Xin's later diligent study of military strategy, let him go through his entire life without ever tasting defeat!

If this were placed in official hands, it would simply be a matter of national interest!

At this moment, the online discussion about this stone had already reached its peak.

Every piece of history about Han Xin was being dug up by people!

Many even began poring word by word, sentence by sentence over the historical records of Han Xin's involvement in wars.

Trying to see whether he truly never tasted defeat!

When the entire internet bands together to dissect one person's life, the power is terrifying.

Whether official history or unofficial, anywhere Han Xin's name appeared, people tracked it down one by one.

Only now did the crowd discover that, strictly speaking, Han Xin was not without defeats.

At least two battles are in question!

These points of doubt were immediately posted online, sparking a huge discussion.

【I found it — Han Xin wasn't actually undefeated his whole life!】

【Right, I found related records too. One was the Battle of Peng Cheng, the other was the Battle of Gaixia.】

【The Battle of Peng Cheng, the Han army lost terribly — several tens of thousands of Xiang Yu's troops defeated over six hundred thousand of theirs!】

【The Battle of Gaixia was about the same — again facing Xiang Yu, at the start Xiang Yu actually broke through right at the gap Han Xin was supposed to hold!?】

【So 'Han Xin never tasted defeat in his life' is a false proposition!】

【Exactly — if those two battles can't be explained clearly, then this undefeated stone has a serious problem!】

Online, the argument over these two disputed Han Xin battles was raging fiercely.

Even the people listening to the storytelling live inside New Moon Restaurant were drawn away to go eat melon on the internet.

The result — once they saw the historical evidence laid out by netizens, they all began to have doubts.

Hearing the commotion below, Professor Liu turned and asked his student.

"What is everyone discussing? I thought I heard the Battle of Gaixia mentioned?"

The student immediately replied: "Professor, someone pointed out from the historical records that Han Xin wasn't actually undefeated for life — the Battle of Peng Cheng and the Battle of Gaixia both count as his defeats!"
