My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Twenty-four years old!

This number struck Liu Che's mind like a thunderbolt.

He swayed almost imperceptibly and grabbed the wall next to him for support.

Twenty-four years old!

What a vibrant and spirited age that was!

It was the sword he placed high hopes on and regarded as the future military soul of the empire!

The glory of sealing the wolf's lair still lingers, and the heroic spirit of drinking from the vast sea has not yet faded.

How could he... how dare he... end his life so abruptly at the age of twenty-four?!

Liu Che opened his mouth, but found his throat tightened, and he was momentarily speechless.

Not far away, Huo Qubing could not hear the specific conversation, but when he saw his uncle's face suddenly turn pale and shocked, his expression changed and his hand immediately went to the hilt of his sword.

"His Majesty!"

"fine!"

Liu Che waved his hand, his gaze returning to Chen Mo.

"Died of illness? What illness? How could there be no cure? I... I have mobilized the entire nation's resources, surely I cannot save him?!"

Chen Mo shook his head, his tone complicated.

"Historical records are vague, only saying it was due to illness. Perhaps it was the exhaustion from years of war; perhaps it was the harsh cold of the northern deserts that caused accumulated injuries and illnesses; or perhaps... it was the jealousy of heaven for a talented person."

Chen Mo glanced at Liu Che and whispered.

"Some people say it's you..."

"impossible!"

Liu Che rejected it on the spot.

"My heart is not that narrow-minded!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo glanced at Huo Qubing, who was staring at them warily, and sighed.

"In short, he was like the most dazzling shooting star, streaking across the sky, illuminating the entire era, and then... he suddenly fell."

He paused, turned back to meet Liu Che's eyes, which had instantly turned bloodshot, and added.

"That is why he is a legend and an eternal regret in the history books of later generations."

People admire his unparalleled achievements, but also lament his untimely death.

Liu Che took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.

He turned around abruptly and stared intently at the tall, sharp-looking young man not far away.

Do not!

I absolutely will not allow it!

What a load of rubbish history books!

What?! Twenty-four years old?!

Fuck it!

How could his champion, Hou, die so young?!

Liu Che turned his gaze to Chen Mo.

"Manager Chen? Could you perhaps take your son to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Of course."

Chen Mo chuckled and turned his gaze to Huo Qubing.

"I'll go after I finish arranging this batch of goods."

Liu Che breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know what had happened, with the medical conditions of this later generation, he should be able to find out what was wrong.

unless……

A murderous glint flashed in Liu Che's eyes.

Unless it wasn't from illness that he died!!!

After a moment, he gradually regained his composure, turned his gaze to the cardboard boxes in the backyard, walked to Chen Mo's side, and whispered.

"Manager Chen, look... so much stuff... how about sharing some with me?"

"Isn't this inappropriate?"

Chen Mo waved his hand, then suddenly paused.

Wait a minute, why does this sentence sound so familiar?

It seems like someone else has said this to him before, right?

Just as Chen Mo was pondering this.

But Liu Che looked around and, after confirming that Zhu Biao and the others were not looking this way, quietly took out a jade pendant from his sleeve.

"Manager Chen, look... there's so much here, giving me some shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Again?

Is this how you test him?

Chen Mo fell silent, preparing to give a stern refusal, when he heard Li Shimin's voice coming from the courtyard.

"Emperor Wu of Han, what are you planning to do?"

Liu Che suddenly looked up and saw Li Shimin standing at the door, looking at him with a cold smile.

Liu Che remained calm and put away the jade pendant.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've been troubling Manager Chen too much lately, so I wanted to give him a little more for the room fee."

"Yeah?"

Li Shimin sneered, with an expression that said, "You think I'm a fool."

Seeing this, Liu Che stopped trying to hide it and pointed to the telescope as he spoke.

"How about sharing some of these things with me?"

"impossible!"

Li Shimin rejected it on the spot.

"If you want, you can order it yourself from Manager Chen; it's just a one-way trip!"

"What if I don't want to wait?"

"Then stop dreaming!"

Liu Che narrowed his eyes.

Li Shimin didn't back down at all and just stared at him.

suddenly,

"Buzz!!!"

A loud roar came from outside the backyard.

Everyone was taken aback and turned their gazes toward the outside of the courtyard.

A gigantic steel behemoth drove from a distance and finally stopped in front of the backyard gate.

Liu Che: ? ? ?

Li Shimin: ? ? ?

Zhu Biao: ? ? ?

Huo Qubing: ? ? ?

Everyone: ? ? ?

Everyone stared at the steel behemoth at the entrance, completely stunned.

Huo Qubing instantly entered a state of combat readiness, flashing in front of Liu Che and tightly gripping the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

His muscles were taut, as if he were facing a ferocious beast he had never seen before.

But if you look closely, you can see that his hands are trembling slightly.

"What is this?"

Li Shimin's mouth was slightly open, and he forgot to close it.

He had fought for half his life and had seen battering rams, tower cranes, and siege ladders, but had he ever seen such a self-moving, enormous, and bizarre steel construct?

I've seen cars before... but I've never seen one this big?

Liu Che's pupils were also shocked. Like Li Shimin, he had seen cars before, but he had never seen this thing before.

This thing looks even bigger than the tanks on TV!!!

Little Sizi let out a "Wow!" and hid behind Li Lizhi, but couldn't help peeking out, her little face full of fear and curiosity.

Li Lizhi subconsciously moved closer to Chen Mo, her face also showing curiosity.

Then, the roar of the steel behemoth stopped.

The driver's cab door opened, and a middle-aged driver wearing overalls, with dark skin and a half-smoked cigarette in his mouth jumped out and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Hey! Is Boss Chen there? Your instant noodles and cola have arrived."

Li Shimin: ? ? ?

Liu Che: ? ? ?

Huo Qubing: ? ? ?

Zhu Biao: ? ? ?

Everyone: ? ? ?

All eyes shifted from the truck driver to Chen Mo.

This steel behemoth?

You're telling me it's for transporting things?

Why not use it to hit someone?
