My father, Li Shimin, requests Your Majesty to become the Retired Emperor.

The two maids walked gracefully over and pulled back the curtain hanging on the wall, revealing a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) pattern, half black and half white.

The two maids pressed down on the left and right sides of the Bagua diagram.

The Bagua symbol split apart to both sides.

It turns out there's a secret room inside the general's mansion.

Soga no Emishi said to the crowd, "Crown Prince of Tang, King of Tibet, Queen of Silla, and everyone else, please move to the secret room and take a look."

The group followed Soga no Emishi into the secret chamber, which was brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

Li Chengan glanced around and saw that the room contained all kinds of weapons, such as knives, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

Soga no Emishi introduced himself to everyone, saying, "I am a person who loves all kinds of weapons, especially famous ones, so I like to collect them."

Li Chengan saw a large spear lying horizontally on the weapon rack in the very center.

The spear appeared to be over thirteen feet long, its shaft entirely golden.

The shaft is made of meteorite iron and is shaped like a dragon. The spearhead is a dragon's head, the tip is like a dragon's tongue, the body is decorated with scale-like patterns, and it is inlaid with eight gemstones. It shines with golden light and is very imposing.

Soga no Emishi pointed at the spear and asked, "Gentlemen, does anyone recognize this spear?"

Qin Ying shook her head: "I don't know her!"

Li Chengan couldn't help but ask, "General, is this spear perhaps the Overlord Spear?"

Soga no Emishi nodded: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Tang, are indeed insightful. Indeed, this spear is the Overlord Spear."

Qin Ying then asked, "Does this gun also mean it's a replica?"

Soga no Ezo laughed heartily: "No, this gun is indeed the same one that Xiang Yu used back then."

I put a lot of effort into this gun.

It took me a lot of time and money to find this gun.

Li Chenggan understood what Soga no Emishi had said, because many people in the world are like that; they like to collect things. Some people like to collect calligraphy and paintings, some like to collect antiques, and some like to collect weapons.

Everyone was astonished to hear that Soga no Emishi had actually brought the real Overlord Spear.

Soga no Emishi sighed with great emotion: "Back then, Xiang Yu defeated countless opponents with just this spear."

It was only because Xiang Yu was too merciful that he let Liu Bang go at the Feast at Hongmen, releasing a tiger back into the mountains, which would lead to endless troubles later.

Ultimately, he was ambushed by Liu Bang and Han Xin at Gaixia and forced to his death at the Wujiang River. Even so, Xiang Yu, with his Overlord Spear and his twenty-eight cavalrymen, still managed to kill hundreds of Han soldiers.

Xiang Yu's bravery

It can be said that there is no one like it before or since.

Later generals, when they mentioned Xiang Yu, all looked up to him with awe.

This spear weighs eighty-one jin (approximately 41 kg), and most people simply cannot wield it.

In fact, after hearing Soga no Emishi's introduction, Li Chengan could imagine the scene of Xiang Yu wielding this spear and galloping across the battlefield.

Soga no Emishi continued, "I originally intended to keep this weapon for myself."

However, I also feel that it's a bit inappropriate.

Although I am a general,

But how can I compare to Xiang Yu, the Hegemon of Western Chu?

There is a saying that using things that are incompatible with one's status will bring disaster.

"Crown Prince of Tang, please try it out and see if it suits you."

Li Chengan also liked the spear very much; his eyes lit up when he looked at the Overlord Spear.

He walked up to the Overlord Spear, reached out his right hand, and took it down from the weapon rack.

Li Chengan examined the gun closely and saw that it was gleaming and extremely sharp.

The weight of the gun is just right.

Everyone stepped aside, and Li Chenggan began to dance in the center of the paradise.
