(2) Crossing the Eastern Han Dynasty

Oh dear. I must say, how can you be so heartless and ungrateful? My husband saved you, yet you repay kindness with enmity. Truly, you do not know what is good for you

Wen Han squinted his eyes, a glimmer of coldness flashing within them. The Zhou family has been running gambling houses for generations. It is said that Zhou Long's ancestors were bandit leaders, who later, in their old age, settled down in Jiexian County of Hedong Prefecture with a group of old brothers.

During the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Wen Han was exhilarated. This was an era of chaos, with continuous warfare and a plethora of heroes, making it the ancient history that Wen Han cherished the most, without exception

In the first year of Zhongping, was it not during the late Eastern Han period, a time not far from the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Wenhan vaguely remembers that the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion occurred in the year of Jiazi, which means there are still two or three years left.

Liu Bei, known for his profound understanding of human nature, Liu Xuande. Guan Yu, unmatched in loyalty and righteousness, Guan Yunchang. Zhang Fei, capable of taking the head of a defending general amidst a million troops, Zhang Yide. Cao Cao, a capable minister in times of peace and a formidable warlord in times of chaos, Cao Mengde. The unparalleled and extraordinary general Lü Bu, who fought the three heroes at Hulao Pass, Lü Fengxian. Sun Jian, the fierce tiger of Jiangdong, Sun Wentai. Zhao Yun, who disregarded a million troops of Cao's army, Zhao Zilong. ... Zhuge Liang, known for his unparalleled wisdom, often referred to as a genius, Zhuge Kongming ...

What barely sustains him now is an unyielding will.

Wen Bufan gritted his teeth and made his way toward the location of his country's spacecraft, the unbearable pain making it unclear how his body was even moving.

Wenhan was practicing Tai Chi. After a month of recuperation, his health had already improved. Perhaps it was due to the fact that the air and environment in ancient times were not as polluted as in modern times, which accelerated Wenhan's recovery.

Hahaha, open hetushu.com! What a great joy! Those things you taught me are now immensely popular in my gambling house. The once dull gambling house has suddenly come to life. This month's income is comparable to that of an entire year in the past. Your sister-in-law has been laughing so much these days that her face is cramping!

"I have been rude, and I ask for your forgiveness. My name is Wenhan, courtesy name Bufan." Wen Bufan clasped his fists in apology and continued, "I am unaware of the current times, as my clan and I have long resided in the mountains and wilderness. This time, due to an elder in my clan offending a powerful figure, we have been pursued by enemies. I possess some martial skills, which allowed me to escape, and I was later saved by you. I am truly grateful."

Countless experiences of hovering between life and death have endowed him with an instinctive sharp intuition towards danger

In ancient times, characters were used by individuals who needed to participate in social interactions with a formal identity

Wen Bufan frowned in the thick smoke, his face contorted in agony from the intense pain. During the recent suicide bombing attack, although he had managed to evade the most violent impact, he could not avoid the numerous shrapnel that exploded, leaving almost no part of his body uninjured.

On ordinary days, Wen Bufan has a deep passion for ancient Chinese history and is quite familiar with some archaic terms. As a result, he speaks them fluently, leaving Zhou Long with no doubt about Wen Bufan's identity as an outsider.

Wen Bufan quickly crafted an identity and background for himself. In ancient times, men were given their names at the age of twenty, while women received theirs at the age of fifteen. Wen Bufan was only 19, still below the age for receiving a name. However, he did not mind. Do you not see that Cao Chong, at the mere age of twelve, already had a name?

"Brother Zhou, what does it have to do with the bookish student? Why are you so delighted?" Wenhan, seeing Zhou Long approaching and stopping his actions, revealed a radiant smile to Zhou Long

Oh. It is still the first year of the Zhongping era. No wonder I saw you, Brother Bufan, covered in blood. It turns out you are being pursued by enemies. Brother Bufan, you can rest assured and recuperate at my home. It is fate that I encountered you in the mountains. Since it is fate, how can I stand by idly

So much, so much, the Three Kingdoms. That is the romance of men. Ever since Wenhan learned about this ancient history, he has always believed that one day he could fight alongside these heroes, laughing proudly in the world, battling across the nine provinces

Just as Wen Bufan's body fell into the spaceship, a solar flare occurred

Ah! A scream echoed from the darkness

After the death of Zhou Long's father, one of his father's subordinates, Ma Zong, along with his brothers, established an independent operation in the county, opening a gambling house to compete with Zhou Long for business

Suddenly, a faint sense of alarm arose in Wen Bufan's heart

Due to a lack of skills and feeling bored, I opened a gambling house in the county with my brothers. This business has been passed down for several generations. However, in the generation of Zhou Long, because Zhou Long is kind-hearted and does not like to create conflicts, he completely lacks the domineering and fierce nature of his ancestors

Wen Bufan quickly composed himself to face the current situation. He would not worry excessively. Years of experience in espionage had taught him to calmly resolve and think through problems

Very well. I observe that you, Brother Bufan, are a person of remarkable talent, not one to engage in petty theft or deceit. Moreover, when others are in trouble, how can we turn a blind eye? Let us not speak further; we should not disturb Brother Bufan's rest. Let us go out together

"No harm done. My humble name is www.hetushu.com.com Zhou Long, courtesy name Zidan. I come from a merchant family. I usually enjoy hunting, and just yesterday I was chasing a rabbit in the mountains. However, I discovered you, brother, lying on the ground, covered in blood and unconscious. Seeing your critical injuries, I took the liberty of bringing you back to my humble abode to provide treatment." The man smiled, not at all offended by Wen Bufan's lack of decorum.

Ah—ah—ah—ah! Suddenly, a series of chilling screams erupted. The captain of the island's special forces, upon hearing the screams, felt an ominous premonition arise in his heart, and then a sharp pain struck him. He widened his eyes as a gleaming throwing knife was thrust directly into the position of his heart.

Wen Han watched the Zhou Long couple leave, but his thoughts were in disarray.

Years of being an operative had rendered Wen Bufan completely unmoved. His cold eyes gazed at the man before him, who was dressed in a cross-collared cloth robe, as if waiting for him to answer his own question

Zhou Long nodded gently. After hearing about Wen Han (also known as Wen Bufan), he quickly made up his mind. It seems he is a generous and open-minded person

Upon returning home, Zhou Long joyfully called out Wen Han's name. Since Wen Han was younger than Zhou Long, after becoming familiar with each other, Zhou Long affectionately referred to him as "Xian Di" (younger brother). Wen Han gladly accepted this title and felt very fortunate that he had been saved by the kind Zhou Long right after his arrival in this new world.

At the beginning, Ma Zong still remembered the kindness that Zhou Long's father had shown him, and did not cause much trouble. However, later on, under the instigation of some petty individuals, Ma Zong began to suppress Zhou Long, frequently causing disturbances at Zhou Long's gambling house.

Official. He just wanted to harm you. He is likely one of those petty thieves. Moreover, these are indeed extraordinary times... At this moment, it was the woman beside Zhou Long's wife who shouted out.

Zhou Long's smiling face resembled a blooming chrysanthemum, and looking at him made one want to rush over and kiss Wen Han a few times

I never expected that due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, I would end up traveling through time. However, I have no idea what era I am in.

Zhou Long stood up, paid his respects to Wen Han, and then took his wife's hand to leave the room

I am not called Zeng Fan ... ... I am Sanada Hino ... ... I want to return to my country ... ...

Brother Zhou, how many times have I told you? That is called a horse whip. However, with the gambling house's business thriving, troubles must have come as well. I heard from Sister-in-law that your old nemesis, Master Ma, Ma Zong, has not been bothering you these days

"Agent, please hurry and check if our boarding personnel are safe. There is only one minute left until the flare descends," the Chinese physicist urged once again.

He instinctively lunged to the side, but at the very moment he did, a gunshot rang out from behind him. A bullet pierced through his back, and the tremendous force propelled Wen Bufan's body towards the spaceship's entrance

Brother, brother. How have you been?

What is unexpected is that he truly realized his dream. By a twist of fate, he arrived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty

Boom! At that moment, a dazzling beam of light descended, clearing the smoke in the square.

In an instant, Wen Bufan seemed to understand everything. However, he would not ask why; he almost exhausted his last ounce of strength. Although his vision had blurred, he had a feeling that he could guess the location of Zeng Fan. The flying dagger shot swiftly from Wen Bufan's hand.

Wen Bufan looked at Zhou Long's candid gaze, feeling a moment of shame, and withdrew his hand. He fell into a brief contemplation

Hahaha. Dear brother, dear brother!

"Zeng Fan... are you still alive?" Wen Bufan felt as if his throat was about to shatter, finally when he arrived at the side of the spaceship.

Before Wen Han's appearance, there was an incident where he nearly destroyed the entire gambling house owned by Zhou Long. Therefore, at that time, Zhou Long's wife, Lin (during the late Eastern Han period, women had no status and generally were referred to by their husband's surname after marriage), held some extreme views about Wen Han, suspecting him to be a spy sent by Ma Zong.

"Who are you? Why am I here?" Wen Bufan said coldly, his expression stern, as if ready to take decisive action at the slightest provocation.

A woman dressed in a green silk robe, estimated to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, just walked into the room and saw her husband being grabbed by the neck by Wen Bufan, prompting her to stretch out her finger and call out.

He called out the name of the registrar several times, but there was no response

... ...

In the courtyard of the Zhou residence, one month later

I am extremely grateful. Wen Han felt a surge of warmth in his heart and sincerely bowed to Zhou Long.

Quickly check if he is dead! Additionally, the backup registrants should hurry to the spaceship of the Great Sun Empire, the flare is about to arrive! The captain of the island nation's intelligence team quickly ran towards the computer location on the south side of the square, relying on his memory; he himself was a hidden physicist.

In a hazy consciousness, a sound emerged. Wen Bufan instinctively grabbed the neck of the person beside him who was calling out. As his eyes opened and his awareness began to return, an intense pain that was almost unbearable immediately struck him
