Chapter 002: Who Are You (Part Two)
From the perspective of the original owner's lingering memories, he was quite familiar with the 'Miss' and had even shared meals with her more than once. If that is the case, the 'Miss' should be very aware of Liu Chuang's dietary preferences. Liu Chuang does not like fish; why then did the 'Miss' bring this plate of fish?
There are not many prisoners confined in this prison, and the jailer cannot converse with him, which has left Liu Chuang feeling quite stifled over the past two days
The old man's voice is very gentle, evoking a sense of warmth
The first year of Jian'an
Liu Chuang glanced at the prison cell and thought to himself: I want a mattress, but you can't provide one either
At that moment, a deep voice suddenly reached my ears, "Kid, how did you spot the flaw?"
When he understood the situation, the first thought that came to him was to cling to Liu Bei's thigh
Liu Chuang finally managed to wake up, standing up and looking outside through the prison window
Historically, people have commonly regarded the Three Kingdoms period as beginning with the Yellow Turban Rebellion or the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, and even extending to include the Jian'an era. However, in terms of historical classification, the Three Kingdoms should be considered to have originated in the year 220 AD, which marks the death of Cao Cao and the establishment of the Wei state by Cao Pi. The period prior to this should be classified as the Eastern Han dynasty. It is merely the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that has led many to this misconception.

Who
Liu Chuang did not pay attention to this fellow's tender emotional world, but instead focused his attention on the technique known as 'Dragon and Snake Nine Transformations'. This guiding technique, practiced by Qi practitioners during the Han and Wei dynasties, is said to reach a level where one can move mountains and drain seas, summon winds and call forth rain. However, Liu Chuang knew that this was merely a legend. Nevertheless, this guiding technique can indeed strengthen the body and perhaps even prolong life
Meng Yan is the courtesy name of the original owner of this body, but Liu Chuang was unable to react immediately.
With the sound of the cell door locking, silence once again returned to the prison.
Meng Yan, are you doing well
Liu Chuang would certainly not make such a mistake; he simply never expected that he was actually in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a chaotic era marked by the emergence of numerous renowned generals and the clashing of iron horses and golden weapons
Donghai County, Quxian ... ? ... Then isn't that just Xuzhou
Liu Chuang hurriedly said: "I was hit with a stick by someone, so my head is a bit muddled"
For a moment, Liu Chuang sat there in a daze, not even thanking the old man. The old man, however, did not pay much attention to this; after responding to Liu Chuang, he hurriedly left.
Unless this feast was not arranged by the "Miss"
Liu Chuang picked up his chopsticks and was about to start eating, but for some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of aversion and restlessness in his heart
Liu Chuang suddenly shivered, and the chopsticks in his hand were unconsciously set aside
He responded in the manner of speaking typical of people in this era, but as he raised his hand, the clanking of the shackles on his body created a somewhat discordant sound. The old man clearly did not wish to linger in the cell for long; after offering a few gentle words of comfort to Liu Chuang, he turned and stepped out of the cell
The old man was taken aback and turned to look at Liu Chuang.
The old man displayed an expression of anger, "These scoundrels, how could they lay such a vicious hand on you... Today is the second day of the first month in the first year of Jian'an."
Leaning against the cold wall, Liu Chuang fell into deep thought without speaking
Liu Chuang finally breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and brought the food box closer to him
In the past two days, I have seen you sitting there in a daze, not speaking a word, and I thought you were a fool...! Hehe, it turns out you are still somewhat aware. However, I wonder if you are fortunate enough to live and get out of this. From the looks of it, your enemies have already made up their minds to put you to death.
It is said that adding flowers to brocade is easy, but sending charcoal in the snow is difficult. Relying on one's own abilities to seek refuge with Liu Bei, who is in need of talented individuals, he is unlikely to refuse.
Liu Chuang scratched his head, just as he was about to shift his focus to the beef, a sudden thought crossed his mind, and he paused his chopsticks
young lady
To what extent can one provide care
But if it were not arranged by the 'Miss', who else would have sent it?
He seems to have caught some clues, yet they remain vague and unclear
I didn't expect this guy to be quite popular with women
Liu Chuang did not have the opportunity to engage with these in his previous life; unexpectedly, after being reborn, he actually obtained such an opportunity
It seems that you are not as foolish as you appear
His gaze swept over the food in the lunchbox, finally resting on the plate of fish. Although Liu Chuang had already taken control of this body, it seemed that some instinct remained, causing him to feel an inexplicable aversion to the plate of fish. It appeared that the original owner of the body did not like eating fish
The original owner of the body seems to have started practicing martial arts from a young age and has achieved considerable success. In recent days, Liu Chuang has been organizing these items while also contemplating the dangers he is about to face. The so-called act of murder cannot arise from nothing; if it is not the doing of this individual, then someone must be framing him. This person, however, is somewhat simple-minded; despite having excellent martial skills and possessing extraordinary strength, he is very timid and has a kind heart. Could such a person commit murder? Liu Chuang finds it hard to believe deep down.
May I ask, what year, month, and day is it today
care
I may lack other abilities, but I am well-versed in the course of history
Although he pretended to be calm over the past three days, he still felt a bit anxious inside. The greatest fear for a person is to find themselves in an unfamiliar world. Now that he has understood the situation, and this world does not seem too strange to Liu Chuang, it has indeed allowed him to feel more at ease. As for the current predicament, it should not be too difficult to overcome. Since the young lady is willing to take action, and following the advice of that old man, it seems that his uncle also holds some status, there is naturally no need for excessive worry. Of course, the matter of who has framed him still needs to be addressed.
Who
Perhaps influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Chuang has a favorable impression of Liu Bei
Liu Chuang immediately realized that this so-called "little lady" was likely the "young lady" in question. In this era, "young lady" is a term used to refer to unmarried women from wealthy families, and only those who are relatively close can use it. In contrast, servants and those of lower status must refer to her as "little lady".
Liu Chuang, seeing the old man about to leave, could not help but ask.
Outside the window, a bright moon rises, and the silvery moonlight filters through the prison window into the cell, as if a thin layer of silver frost has settled on the ground
Liu Chuang said: "Please convey my thanks to the young lady and the *Tu* *Shuzi*"
This food and drink were sent by the young lady
Every man harbors a dream of being a martial artist deep within his heart
Indeed, Xuzhou should now be occupied by Liu Bei. I recall that he took control of Xuzhou from Tao Qian last year
Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside the cell. Liu Chuang looked up and saw an elderly man dressed in a gray short coat walking down the corridor outside the cell, stopping at the door of the cell. The old man had graying hair and beard, and was holding a beautifully crafted food box in his hand
It seems that this young lady holds a significant status; otherwise, it would not be possible for her to send people in and out of the prison cell so easily
I have unexpectedly arrived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty
Such a familiar era name
The light in the prison was dim. In the cell diagonally opposite to Liu Chuang's, there was a large cell where a middle-aged man dressed in black was leaning against the thick bars of the cell, observing Liu Chuang. His dirty face broke into a grin, revealing a set of white teeth.
Who wants to frame him? Why do they want to frame him?
Liu Chuang stared at the person and suddenly asked, "Who might you be?"
However, in my heart, I still felt a sense of gratitude, so I cupped my hands towards the old man and said: "Thank you, old sir. Everything here is fine, please do not let the young lady worry too much."
Donghai County, Quxian, Mijia
The old man outside the cell smiled and gestured for the jailer to come forward and open the cell door, carrying the food box into the prison room. However, at the moment he entered, he slightly furrowed his brow, seemingly dissatisfied with the environment of the cell. After placing the food box on the ground, the old man spoke gently: "Meng Yan, do you have any requests while living here? If you have any needs or matters to discuss, I will report them to the young lady when I return, and someone will take care of it for you."
A married woman is referred to as 'Dàniángzi', while an unmarried woman is called 'Xiǎoniángzi', which clearly distinguishes between the two.
This is the late Eastern Han period, which also serves as the prelude to the Three Kingdoms.
If I were to seek refuge with Liu Bei now, I might not compare to Guan, Zhang, or Zhao Yun... No, wait, it seems Zhao Yun has not yet pledged allegiance to Liu Bei. However, with this strength, I would certainly be able to establish myself under Liu Bei's command. Comparing ourselves to Guan and Zhang in terms of history, and to Sun and Qian in terms of martial prowess. In these times, what matters is a comprehensive quality. Once Liu Bei secures the western territories, I would certainly be considered a veteran and a meritorious official, and wealth and honor would be a given.
The young lady knows that you have been wronged, but just as the second master has returned from Xia Pi, she is unable to come and visit you at this moment. The young lady wants me to convey to you not to worry; she will find a way to clear your name. In a few days, Brother Yong will return, and by then, naturally, no one will trouble you again. The young lady is concerned that you may suffer in prison and has asked me to bring some food and wine to satisfy your cravings
Liu Chuang turned his head and looked in the direction from which the sound was coming.
Well, it is decided!
Upon opening the food box, there is a pot of beef, a plate of fish, and a stack of flatbreads arranged inside
In his previous life, Liu Chuang served as an administrator at a historical archives center, where he primarily dealt with county annals and historical documents. Although he cannot be considered an expert, he is quite familiar with the era name "Jian'an." Before his friend encountered trouble, he was preparing to write an article titled "On the Spirit of Jian'an." To this end, he had consulted numerous materials, making him well-acquainted with the term Jian'an.
