Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

Chapter 210 [The Oath of the Peach Garden]

"At this time, he had no teacup at his waist."

"Chen Shao threw away all three things he had used to register, as if he had cut off his own arm."

As for Chen Shao's tricks of pretending to be a god or ghost, the rumors were spread with great seriousness.

But who would believe it if it involved frequent warfare and bloodshed?

They stayed in the dead for a long time but never saw a single ghost.

What they were most interested in was Chen Shao's true ability to kill.

Liu Siyuan's summary was quite accurate, almost exposing Chen Shao's true colors.

"He is assuring me that he will not cheat or turn against me, and I hope I can see his sincerity."

"Eight hundred men, empty-handed, this is his letter of state."

At this point, Liu Siyuan shook his head and sighed:

"Chen Shao is a true hero!"

"It's a pity that we serve different masters, so we are destined to be mortal enemies."

"Men, open the city gates! Form a battle array to welcome him and see what tricks he's up to!"

......

Soon, Chen Shao's troops arrived at the city walls.

Chen Shao laughed loudly towards the city wall:

"Is that General Liu Siyuan, the foremost hero of Hedong, atop the city wall?"

"It is indeed I, the general."

Liu Siyuan burst into laughter upon hearing this; Chen Shao's words were incredibly sweet to his heart.

Is this equivalent to being personally bestowed the title of the number one hero by the emperor?

He descended from the city wall and led his army out of the city to greet him.

He rode his horse and stopped in front of Chen Shao.

Slightly cupping hands:

"General Liu Siyuan, under the command of the Military Governor of Hedong, greets Your Majesty. I am in full armor and cannot perform the full ceremony. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Chen Shao stared intently, and a panel appeared above Liu Siyuan's head.

Name: Liu Siyuan

[Strength: 148, Domestic Affairs: 85, Intelligence: 88, Ambition: 90]

Wow, that's pretty comprehensive.

Chen Shao laughed:

"Well said, well said. I have heard of your bravery in the capital, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

Since ancient times, the greatest merit has been saving the emperor's life, and the greatest ambition has been for the emperor to flatter you.

Liu Siyuan felt completely comfortable and became increasingly pleased with himself.

Raise your hand and wave.

The crowd made way.

"Your Majesty, please come into the city to discuss this further."

He turned his horse around, making way for Chen Shao to enter the city.

They deliberately sped up, exceeding Chen Shao's speed by two horse heads.

He secretly observed Chen Shao's expression.

Chen Shaoyou has the entry for "acting talent," and on the surface, he seems completely oblivious to all of Liu Siyuan's rudeness.

We chatted and laughed together the whole way.

Upon arriving at the Liaocheng military camp, Liu Siyuan brandished his riding whip in a show of bravado.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of the training of my troops in Liaocheng?"

"The troops are well-disciplined and their orders are strictly obeyed. General Liu is a skilled commander, and I greatly admire him."

"How does Your Majesty feel about morale?"

"General Liu is strict in his military discipline, and his soldiers are of one mind, which is the style of a famous general."

"His Majesty finds this Marco to be strong..."

"Your Majesty, do you think my granaries are full?"

Liu Siyuan showed off his muscles in various ways, and Chen Shao only praised him without criticizing him, answering his questions fluently.

Liu Siyuan was even more excited upon hearing this.

He actually patted Chen Shao on the shoulder.

"You young emperor are quite sensible. Come, come into the tent!"

"This general is to host a welcoming banquet for His Majesty!"

These words were extremely arrogant and rude. Dian Wei, standing beside him, had a gloomy face and wished he could slap him to death.

Chen Shao, however, remained unfazed.

"General, your hospitality is too kind; I will take my leave."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the central command tent, Dian Wei followed Chen Shao and was about to enter when he was blocked by two personal guards.

Dian Wei was furious. He grabbed one of them with each hand and slammed them together.

With a bang, the two guards immediately lost consciousness.

The guards immediately swarmed around him.

Dian Wei was completely unafraid, grabbing one person with each hand and using their bodies as weapons.

He was incredibly strong, taking down one person at a time. In no time, all of the dozen or so men were knocked to the ground.

"Wherever Your Majesty is, I will be there. Make way!"

Liu Siyuan and Chen Shao turned around when they heard the noise.

Chen Shao smiled:

"This is my personal bodyguard, who never leaves my side. Please forgive him if he has offended me."

Liu Siyuan's gaze lingered on Dian Wei for a moment.

Clap your hands and laugh:

"Excellent! Truly a valiant general!"

"Throughout my life, I have the utmost respect for heroes and despise petty men. Brave warrior, please!"

Dian Wei nodded slightly, withdrew his hands and put them back down at his sides, and followed behind Chen Shao.

No matter how capable an individual is, what role can they play in a vast army?

Liu Siyuan didn't take him too seriously.

The group entered the main tent, where a feast had already been laid out.

Liu Siyuan had given prior instructions that no teacups or wine bowls should be left in the room.

"Your Majesty, the army camp is simple and cannot compare to the palace. Moreover, no one under my command dares to drink alcohol, so we have not prepared any fine wine. We will serve food instead. Your Majesty will not mind, will you?"

"No problem, no problem."

Chen Shao thought highly of this person, finding him quite suspicious. But he had many tricks up his sleeve; could the man possibly defend against them all?

After taking their seats, Chen Shao spoke first:

"General Liu, I have come today only to negotiate peace..."

Liu Siyuan smiled and waved his hand, interrupting him directly.

"Your Majesty, there is no rush. We can discuss peace talks later."

"It's a rare occasion to sit with His Majesty today, so let's talk about something interesting."

"Why don't we follow the example of the ancients and have a feast of food and a discussion of heroes today?"

"The world is in turmoil, with heroes emerging one after another. In my humble opinion, everyone else is just a willing bastard, except for..."

Chen Shao was shocked, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground without him noticing.

Just then, a thunderclap boomed in the sky.

Chen Shao calmly picked up the chopsticks, but the person behind Liu Siyuan suddenly fell to the ground, looking terrified.

Everyone turned to look at him.

Liu Siyuan was even more furious, grabbed the other person by the ear, and laughed and cursed:

"You bastard, you don't actually think the hero I'm talking about is you, do you? You've got quite the imagination."

Then he smiled at Chen Shao and said:

"Your Majesty, please don't be offended. This man is merely one of Liu's bodyguards, and he has some mental issues."

Chen Shao didn't think so. He believed that the other party's panicked state must mean they were guilty, and he might be able to take advantage of them.

He stared intently at the man.

A transparent panel appears.

Name: Xing Daorong

[Strength: 106, Domestic Affairs: 67, Intelligence: 70, Ambition: 97]

Chen Shao instantly realized that Liu Siyuan's words made sense.

This person has some mental issues.

Ok?

Chen Shao's eyes suddenly lit up.

"General Liu is mistaken."

"I see that this man has a majestic face and extraordinary bone structure; he is no ordinary person."

"May I ask your esteemed name, sir?"

Dao Rong, who had been walking away with his head down, suddenly stopped in his tracks upon hearing these words.
