The Human Emperor (200-400)

C396: The Warning from the Great General of the Sui!

After entering the secret chamber and closing the door, Wang Chong immediately took out the 'Halo of Dusk Stallion' book that Zhao Qianqiu had given to him.

He had finally fulfilled the regret from his last life, and his excitement was hard to describe.

"It's finally mine!"

Wang Chong gripped the book, his chest heaving. Wang Chong had not been able to find out much about the Halo of Dusk Stallion, but the little information he had gotten from those seniors in his past life was enough to stun anyone who knew what was what.

For the maximum level of the Halo of Dusk Stallion… was limitless!

As long as one was strong enough, one could essentially upgrade the Halo of Dusk Stallion infinitely, even though the amount of energy needed to upgrade would probably reach an astronomical number that existed only in myths, that a warrior could only sigh at!

With regards to the war against the foreign invaders, one person's individual strength was far too meager. Even the powerful war god Su Zhengchen was eventually killed in the capital as he fought desperately to turn the tides.

However, the Halo of Dusk Stallion was the only thing that could make one person's strength capable of completely changing the tides of battle.

"If there was one thing that could have helped us in this situation, it would have been the 'Halo of Dusk Stallion'. Alas, it is already impossible for us to obtain it…"

A senior from back then had spoken these words to Wang Chong with infinite sorrow.

But now, everything was different.

Upon opening the book, Wang Chong was greeted by line after line of characters—not in the ancient seal script often used in the ancient secret technique manuals, but the small regular script1 that Wang Chong was far too familiar with.

This was clearly not the original but a hand-copied duplicate.

'In the twenty-seventh year of the Great Sui, I, Han Zitong, accepted the order from the Divine Emperor, the Son of Heaven, and hand-copied this book!'

This first line of words on the slightly yellowed paper was so majestic that even Wang Chong couldn't help but blink as an indescribable feeling surged through his mind.

"This is a hand-copied edition from the Great Sui Dynasty!"

Wang Chong's eyes madly blinked as he was overcome by a strange feeling. He had not expected this 'Halo of Dusk Stallion' book to be a handwritten copy from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty's era.

And even more surprising to Wang Chong was that name: Han Zitong!

It was certain that few people knew who this was, but there was no one who did not know of his other name. Even after several centuries, his name would continue to thunder in the ears of the descendants of the noble clans: Han Qinhu!

He was one of the four Great Generals Who Upholds the State. He and the other three Great Generals—Yang Su, Heruo Bi, and Shi Wansui—were also known as the Four Pillars of the Empire. They had been on the same level as Fumeng Lingcha, Gao Xianzhi, Geshu Han, and Zhang Shougui of the present.

But the reputation of the Great Sui Dynasty's Four Pillars of the Empire was far greater than the latter group!

This was especially the case for Han Qinhu. He was accomplished in both civil and military matters, and was called the martial god of Emperor Wen of Sui's era. Once, he had needed only 500 soldiers to cut through enemy territory like a hot knife through butter and seize the Chen Dynasty of Jiangnan!
