Chapter 4: The Initial Success of Sun Ce After Crossing Over

  "I think so too."

  Sun Wu nodded solemnly and continued: "From the time your father died unexpectedly in battle, to you, to Zhou Yu, then Lu Su, Lü Meng and Lu Xun. Almost every master and commander-in-chief has died young, with an untimely death!"

  "It's either unexpected or a sudden illness. Not many die of natural causes, one or two are fine, but almost everyone is like this. There are also many generals and strategists who have appeared with all sorts of unreasonable ways of death, that is to say, there are many abnormal deaths."

  "I wouldn't believe it even if you killed me that there's no behind-the-scenes manipulation! This has too great an impact on our Eastern Wu's grand plan. It's just that the history books only speak in vague terms, and nobody knows what the real inside story is."

  Upon hearing this, Sun Ce also became enraged and said: "Gongjin was also dealt with by them... You didn't say it but I didn't know there were so many things! They are actually dismantling my beams and destroying my foundation! Their hearts are so sinister! What is Zhongmou doing after all? It's likely that not just one hand is behind these matters!"

  Little Sun was shocked in his heart "Oh no! It seems that this trip to the three countries is quite risky. I'm going to be the first to get into trouble!"

  I'm afraid that once I appear, I'll be targeted by numerous bird guns... no, bow and arrow! It seems I need to think of a way to protect myself first. Otherwise... I can already imagine the pitiful sight of a small bird being shot at with arrows, its feathers flying everywhere. This outcome is just too tragic!"

  "Let's put this matter aside for now, you can deal with it slowly after you leave. What's important is to recruit more talents. Regardless of whether they are commoners or aristocrats, as long as they can be used by you, you must grasp them firmly. This principle should be even more deeply understood by a modern person like you. Only by having a large and sufficient number of talented people can we have a bright future!"

  "Oh, I've taken note. Indeed! Knowledge is the primary productive force, this has been verified through the great development of the modern world, it's absolutely true." Apart from nodding in agreement, Little Sun had no other reaction. These are all valuable words, must remember them!"

  "I don't have anything else to say, everything is up to your own luck now. The time has almost arrived. When I open the space-time crack, you can depart. My divine power will directly send you into my body in the 1800s!"

  "According to my calculations, it was about 7 or 8 days before I was stabbed that you could have gotten familiar with my body. That way, you should have been able to avoid the assassination attempt. If you really couldn't avoid it, as long as you didn't drink that bowl of medicine, you would have been fine! However, I think this is just a series of targeted actions against me, and there may be more tricks up their sleeve. It seems like someone is determined to kill me!"

  "Lastly, I have a personal request for you. When you go back to the past, be good to every family member. No matter what situation arises, do not harm your own kin! I don't want to see flesh and blood turn against each other! Do you understand?"

  Seeing Sun Wu nodding, he said: "Especially to Da Qiao! Help me fulfill my promise to her, that's what I owe her! Alas! Recalling the past always makes me feel nostalgic! I'm sorry for not being able to love her well, you can take my place and love her well! Her name is Qiao Ying, but I secretly call her Moonlight."

  "What a big bridge! I'm going to be the husband of Da Qiao (Da Qiao is a bit awkward, although I know they were originally surnamed Bridge, but according to modern custom, let's just call her Da Qiao from now on)! The second most beautiful woman in the world!? I'm not prepared for this! I don't know if my young and tender heart can take it, oh heavens! He's moving too fast!"

  Xiao Sun muttered uncontrollably: "Why does great happiness always come so suddenly?"

  "Get out!"

  At this time, a huge vortex suddenly appeared at the top of the quiet room, and a burst of golden energy instantly enveloped Sun Wushou.

  And swiftly threw him into the center of the vortex, with a "plop" sound, Sun Wushou disappeared in this space! In the instant he entered the time rift's vortex, he clearly saw a face with bulging blue veins on his forehead!

  Sun Wu thought in his heart: Sun Ce must be angry, huh! He should be very angry!

  It felt good but like an instant, and it also felt as if several thousand years had passed. During this time, he only felt the pressure on his soul getting bigger and bigger, while his own soul was getting smaller and smaller, almost becoming a tiny dot the size of a sesame seed. He felt as if he still existed, yet at the same time did not exist.

  His entire soul was as if being pierced by countless needles! Sun Wushou wanted to scream loudly but couldn't make a sound. The feeling on his soul was like the crunching of glass about to be crushed, making a faint "creaking" noise. Ah, it's too painful!

  "This is time-travel?! I never want to wear it again. Why does everyone else's time-travel seem so effortless? Eyes closed, eyes open, whoosh! And it's done. Why is my time-travel so painful?! I wanted a thrilling and exciting time-travel, not one that seems like it's going to silently destroy me at any moment! Oh no, I just thought of something, could it be that Old Sun Ce made a mistake?!"

  Just as Sun Wu Shou felt like he was about to collapse, he suddenly found himself entering a new space. With a loud bang, his soul instantly disintegrated into countless fragments, occupying and merging with the entire space, no longer distinguishing between self and others.

  Sun Wu Shou knew he had finally arrived whole, not crushed to powder by the powerful pressure of time and space. From now on, Sun Ce was him, he was Sun Ce! And this new Sun Ce would definitely fly higher and better than the old Sun Ce!

  Before falling into a coma, he only thought of one thing that made him happy, "Heaven bless! I finally became Sun Ce. Indeed, it's not easy to be a man on top! My dear Daqiao, I'm coming! Tonight I'll enter the bridal chamber with you. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the hardships I've endured! Rolling, compressing, and even if I were to be crushed to pieces, I'd still come to see you!"

  But Xiao Sun did not hear that in the distant time and space management office, Sun Ce's muttering to himself: "Damn it, I was a bit dizzy with anger for a moment, and the energy added to that stinky brat's soul is a bit over the limit. Hopefully, it won't cause any adverse consequences?"

  But let that annoying kid suffer a bit. I won't bother with him, let's see how his own luck goes! Since heaven has given me this opportunity, everything will naturally have its destiny. I'll just go back to my own business."

  After an unknown period of time, Xiao Sun's consciousness finally began to slowly awaken. He wanted to open his eyes, but found that his eyelids felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

  And the body doesn't feel like my own either. It's not mine to begin with. Every muscle and tendon in my body feels like it's being pulled by countless tiny people, hurting to death. My hands and feet can't exert even a bit of strength.

  "What's going on, is this an aftereffect of crossing through time and space? Or could it be that I'm not adapting to Sun Ce's body well? Didn't Sun Ce say that his body would completely open up to me and cooperate with my occupation?"

  "Oh, probably, maybe, there's still an adaptation process to go through! After all, this is my first time crossing over in this lifetime, and I'm a rookie, so everything has to be explored from scratch!"

  No choice, in order to see his beloved beautiful Daqiao earlier, Comrade Xiao Sun can only keep working hard. In his heart, he silently chants: Daqiao, oh Daqiao!

  Finally, with Da Qiao's spiritual support, he finally opened his heavy eyelids and for the first time in this Three Kingdoms world, he opened his own pure eyes.

  "The sky is so blue! The mountains are also so green! What a beautiful view! It's truly an authentic natural beauty. Hmm, something doesn't feel right, why is the scenery swaying up and down?"

  "Is it because my eyes haven't adjusted well and I'm feeling a bit dizzy? Or is it because I'm sitting in a rocking chair?"

  Xiao Sun blinked hard with her eyes, no, the scenery was still so fresh and beautiful.

  "Could it be that Big Sister Jiao saw me staying at home for too long and brought me out to go hiking? Where's Big Sister Jiao, anyway?"

  Just then a slightly hoarse voice came from beside him, "Young Master, you're awake! Come quickly, Mr. Cheng! Young Master has finally woken up. That's great!"

  At the same time, a not-so-handsome face, like a long-shaped big pancake, appeared in Sun Ce's line of sight. Upon closer inspection, there were also a few small red beans roughly dotted on his face.

  "Ah! Why is the gap between ideals and reality always so big?! Shouldn't Da Qiao be by my side at this time, not leaving me for a single step?"

  "I'm wounded! Oh heaven, you're playing a trick on me! What I long to see is my beautiful Da Qiao, not this big pancake in front of me. Although I'm also very hungry now, I can't eat him as food!"

  "Da Qiao? Where is Da Qiao?"

  The big-faced man was taken aback, "Big Bridge, there's no big bridge here at all. Young Master, we just crossed a small bridge. That bridge is only built over a small ditch. It's very small, only one person can pass through it, two people can't walk side by side, and it doesn't look like a big bridge at all!

  "Huh? How did you know we just crossed the bridge?! Oh, young master, were you awake all along?! It's great that you're awake now! We were all worried about you!"

  A bit embarrassed, "How about a Tang monk! Please don't 'de' anymore, okay?"

  Sun He, courtesy name Bofu. Originally from the Yu family of Fuchun, later adopted by Sun Ce and given the surname Sun. From a young age, he was a trusted follower of Sun Jian, fighting in many battles. When Sun Ce crossed the Yangtze River to the east, he followed him to pacify Wu and Guiji, attacking Yuan Shu, who was defeated, and was appointed as the Gentleman of the Feathered Forest and Governor of Lujiang. He was known for his loyalty, straightforwardness, and bravery, often serving as a vanguard and later leading the imperial guards, handling internal affairs, and being entrusted with important tasks.

  At this time, several tall and short men in tattered military uniforms gathered around again. They chattered and said, "The young master has woken up. That's great! It's really a blessing from heaven!"

  "What a great young master! Heaven has really opened its eyes!"

  "General Broken Enemy has a spirit in heaven, he will surely bless the young master and keep him out of trouble!"

  So many people know me. In other words, from now on, I officially enter the Three Kingdoms era and become Sun Ce, Sun Bofu!
