Chapter One: Drunken for a Thousand Years

  "Wake up! Wake up quickly! General Gao is coming!"

  Qin Xu felt like his head was about to explode, as if an iron drill was drilling into his brain. Suddenly, he heard someone shaking his body and shouting something, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes, which felt like they were weighed down by a thousand pounds.

  "Today is Master's happy day, if General Gao finds out we're hiding here drinking, we'll definitely get a good beating! Tsk tsk, this little guy looks so delicate, yet he's joining us in this mischief, who knows how many beatings he can take!" A slightly gloomy voice whispered in his ear, accompanied by thick calloused fingers pressing firmly on Qin Xiang's nose.

  The sharp pain under his nose made Qin Xu slightly sober, and he barely opened a slit in his eyes, barely making out four or five silhouettes, but his head was still a mess.

  "It's all because of you bunch of rascals, if it weren't for your instigation, why would Qin Zhongbo be so miserable?" A middle-aged man with a scar on his face pushed away the man who was pressing down on Qin Xu's nose, and glared at the man in front of him with a ferocious expression.

  "Old Xǔ, tell me the truth, is Qin Xù really your illegitimate son? Why are you always protecting him? Could it be... Hehe... Ah!!""Old... Old Xǔ, don't get angry, this Dead Cat has drunk too much cat's urine. Who doesn't know that Qin Zhūbó is Old Xǔ's lifesaver? How can you say such things?"

  Old Xǔ's face turned red with rage, and the young man known as "Dead Cat" was knocked to the ground with a single slap. The people in the room rushed to hold down the middle-aged man with a scar on his cheek, while Dead Cat glared at him with a mixture of anger and pain, clutching his chest and coughing uncontrollably.

  "Haha, Old Xǔ, cough cough, you're quite capable this time, I'll remember it. Next time if you dare to take a knife for me again, I won't acknowledge your kindness! Eh, Qin Zhūbù has woken up..."

  "Ah, has Qin Zhubu woken up?"

  "Get out of the way and let me see!"

  Several people who were holding Old Xu immediately let go of him and rushed to Qin Xu's side upon hearing Dead Cat's words, leaving behind an angry-looking Old Xu.

  "General Gao? Old Xu? Dead cat? What are these names? Where is this place?" A brief gasp, and Qin Xiu's mind gradually cleared up, but the next moment, a continuous stream of familiar or unfamiliar information flooded into his already numb brain, making Qin Xiu even more headache.

  "Director Qin, as long as you drink this cup of wine, I'll sign the contract with your company. How about it? Haha!"

  "Qin Zhubu, as long as you drink this jar of wine, I'll take the blame and get beaten up, and go with all the brothers to tell General Gao, how about it? Hehe!"

  "Director Qin..."

  "Qin Zhubu..."

  ……

  "Stop!"

  Qin Xu shook his still dizzy head, and with the help of Old Xi's support on his arm, he stood up. He rubbed his temples hard, which were still throbbing with pain, looking like he was still drunk. But in his heart, he was shocked by the comprehensive conclusion!

  Ancient attire! General! The layout of the room! All are telling Qin Xu a fact.

  Time Leap! It's actually TND Time Leap!

  Something I always sneered at and believed was just someone's fantasy actually happened to me.

  Although in the previous life, let's just call it the previous life, I didn't actually mix well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost my life for a small contract. But after all, I was living a relatively comfortable life, driving a small car, being a small leader, and having young girls chasing me.

  Even with the title of "big director", earning less than 2,000 soft sister coins per month, at least gained a lot of just graduated little girls in the office giving bok choy.

  Little Day is heading in a bright and fiery direction, but with one blink of an eye, how did I end up in this godforsaken place from who-knows-what dynasty?

  "Qin Zhubu, what a great drinker! I told you, Qin Zhubu is determined to join our Vanguard Camp, why fear this small jar of wine? What do you think?"

  As soon as he came to, Qin Xiang heard some fragmented words and disjointed memories in his mind, which immediately made him realize that the young man speaking was the culprit who had caused him to cross over to this place, a guy nicknamed Dead Cat. And on the side, glaring at Dead Cat, was Old Xu.

  Lao Xu's name Qin Xurang couldn't recall, only knowing that he had known Lao Xu since he was very young, and it seemed that he had even saved Lao Xu's life once, but after that, they lost contact, as for how he saved him, there was no clue, and the subsequent events in memory were also blurred.

  Qin Xu's current position as the chief clerk was also obtained after reuniting with Old Xi, who personally went to "General Gao" to ask for it, using a lot of effort.

  However, Qin Xu previously seemed to dislike this position and wanted to enter the Trap Camp like Old Hsu. Unfortunately, Qin Xu's physical strength was really hard to meet the standard, but Qin Xu didn't give up and kept asking Old Hsu for help from time to time.

  Wait!

  Fall into enemy's camp! ?

  General Gao!?!

  What a familiar name!

  What a shocking name!

  "Leading over 700 people, claiming to be a thousand, all armor and equipment are neat and tidy. Every attack is successful, known as the 'Trap Array Camp'!" What's Trap Array Camp?!

  "My goodness!" Qin Xu's mind was suddenly stunned.

  What a coincidence! It's actually Three Kingdoms!?

  This is not a good era at all.

  For Qin Xu, who has a deeply ingrained idea of being content with a modest life, it's simply a matter of life and death.

  The Three Kingdoms era is not a time when ordinary people can survive.

  No matter how the history books describe the Three Kingdoms era, whether it's called magnificent or heroic, but that was an era built on piles of bloody white bones.

  Even a powerful man like Dong Zhuo or Yuan Shao, if placed in another era, might have achieved great things, but in this chaotic world of the Three Kingdoms, only Liu Bei, Cao Cao and Sun Quan are the true main characters.

  As for others, apart from that bunch of freaks in the Sima family, they are just stepping stones for these three people.

  Moreover, this chief clerk Qin Xu, if guessed correctly, should be the "master" under Lü Bu's command, as mentioned by Old Xun and others.

  Lü Bu!

  ……

  "General Gao!" "General Gao!"

  Just as Qin Xu was shocked by this sudden "surprise" and couldn't speak, he saw the people around him, including Old Lao He, suddenly stand up like a javelin, his right hand heavily patting his left chest, shouting loudly.

  Even the dead cat that caused Qin Xu's transmigration changed its tone from being eerie and strange, loudly responding with a voice full of reverence.

  Qin Xu struggled to stand up straight, staring blankly at the middle-aged man in front of him who was almost a head taller than himself and whom Old He and several others were greeting with fervent respect.

  Good luck!

  Great General!

  Alive!

  Historically, there is little written about Gao Shun, only a few faint strokes have been recorded, and even his detailed biography has not been documented.

  But for Qin Xu who had merged the memories of two planes, General Gao Shun was not unfamiliar to him.

  "What are you people doing here?" Gao Shun frowned and asked in a low voice.

  "Uh, we..." Dead Cat was about to speak up when Gao Shun waved his hand to stop him. "Old Xǔ, you speak!"

  Old Xu's face showed a hint of difficulty as he glanced at the dead cat with an expressionless face and Qin Xu, who was almost unable to stand upright. The scar on his cheek, which stretched across the center of his face, was nearly scrunched up into a ball.

  "General, this..."

  On one hand, they were comrades who had fought back-to-back on the battlefield; on the other hand, he was also the person who had saved his life in the past. The reason for this awkwardness was still because of that shameful incident of stealing wine, which made Old Xu somewhat difficult to speak out.

  If the truth were told, the dead cat would definitely not be able to escape a beating with a military stick, and might even lose its life. If it weren't for telling the truth, Qin Xue would have to suffer injustice.

  Gao Shun's casual remark suddenly put Lao Xu in a dilemma.

  "General Gao! Don't make things difficult for Director Xu, it's beneath you..." Dead Cat saw Old Xu's troubled face and slightly raised the corner of his mouth, blocking half of his body in front of Old Xu.

  "General Gao, I was just about to thank these two soldiers for saving my life!" Just as Gao Shun gazed at Lao Xu and Dead Cat, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter, Qin Xiang's weak voice came from behind them.

  "Who are you..." Gao Shun's voice trailed off as he looked at the frail young man in front of him.

  To be honest, it's no wonder that the dead cat would mock Qin Xu's attempt to join the trap camp. Qin Xu's body is simply too thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away, compared to Old Xi's sturdy and rough appearance, which is almost equivalent to two Qin Xus.

  It's no wonder that everyone regards the story of Qin Xu saving Old Hui's life as a joke.

  "I am Qin Xu, a humble registrar of the Feathered Forest Cavalry under General Lü's command. I was just looking for an opportunity to thank General Gao for his guidance." Qin Xu bowed deeply, his body bent at a 90-degree angle.

  On the one hand, it is the previous owner of this body thanking Gao Shun for showing mercy, but more importantly, it is a soul from a later generation mourning the unfortunate fate of Gao Shun, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

  "Qin Zhubu, please rise!" Gao Shun slightly raised his hands in return courtesy, looking at Qin Xu with a somewhat strange gaze, and with an inquiring tone, glanced at Old Hui who had a serious face, saying: "I don't know what you meant by your previous words, Qin Zhubu?"

  "I humbly request that General Gao pardon my offense of overstepping my bounds. Earlier, due to the great joy of today's events, I was truly delighted in my heart and had a few more cups than usual. As I am on good terms with Colonel Xu, and since the evening banquet is approaching, I requested the help of several soldiers to assist me in tidying up the wine house. However...” Qin Xu glanced at Old Xu's tense face and Dead Cat's nonchalant expression, continuing: “However, my hand slipped and I knocked over a few jars of wine, which also caused the wine jars to shatter. Just now, several soldiers were helping me clean up."

  "Hmm, I see. No need for apologies or thanks, Qin Zhongbo." Gao Shun responded indifferently, seemingly unwilling to waste too much time on this matter. He glanced at Old Hui and the others, saying: "Today is Master's joyous day, the Trapping Array Camp is in charge of guarding the main hall, you must not stir up trouble, nor are you allowed to drink! Do you all understand?"

  "Hello!"

  "Qin Zhubao, let's go! You're a good friend! No matter if you can enter our camp or not, I, Sima Mao, have already considered you as a friend." Seeing Gao Shun and others walking away, Sima Mao, nicknamed "Dead Cat", put his arm around Qin Xu, who was leaning against the wall panting, ignoring the disapproving looks from Lao Xun and others.

  "Alright, alright, the wine has been drunk and the matter is over. Dead cat, hurry up and let the brothers return to their original positions. Absolutely must not stir up more trouble!" Old Xu said sternly to Sima Mao.

  "Qin Zhubao, you..." After sending away Sima Mao, Old Xu looked at Qin Xiang and let out a soft sigh, patted Qin Xiang's shoulder, didn't say much, and followed him out.
