Chapter 1 Where is this? An Internet café?

From birth, Liu Shan experienced a life of turmoil and hardship. He lost his mother at a young age, was abandoned by his stepmother at the age of five, and had little time with his father throughout his life

Although Zhuge Liang later reassured that everything was going smoothly, Liu Shan still realized that the battle in Hanzhong had reached a critical juncture of life and death

With countless thoughts swirling in his mind, Liu Shan helplessly shook his head, just as he was about to return to sleep, when suddenly a strange fragrance wafted towards him.

Could you please say that again

Cao Cao has always been a formidable adversary of Liu Bei, and Xiahou Yuan is a renowned general with numerous victories. The people of Yizhou are currently in a state of anxiety.

On the high table, peculiar screens flickered with eerie fluorescence, which served as the source of illumination in this room

He quietly got up, slowly covered the maid with the brocade quilt, and walked into the courtyard with his hands behind his back

Seeing that there was no major issue, Liu Shan's fear subsided, and he became more curious about the scene from earlier

Oh my!

Seeing that the maid was still sleeping soundly, he finally felt at ease

This time, Liu Shan was prepared and finally did not find himself at a loss due to fear

Liu Shan felt extremely awkward and could only respond with a silly smile

The silent atmosphere renders even the most reckless night wanderers hesitant to show their brilliance, obediently hiding at home

Uh, Liu Shan scratched his head and said, "Where is this place?"

Is there still someone secretly observing the affairs of the world, both great and small

Moments later, a strong light enveloped his face, and Liu Shan's legs went weak, causing him to fall heavily onto the cold ground

Liu Shan retreated a few steps in a panic, making his way towards the door in the dim light

May I ask, esteemed brother, what place is this?

The responsibility of stabilizing the rear in Chengdu was entrusted to Zhuge Liang, the military strategist and general of Liu Bei's army

Hmm, how did this man and woman end up inside this light screen, and... are they still engaging in such indecent matters

He let out a bitter laugh, wanting to explain his background

This morning, Liu Shan went lightly to Zhuge Liang's residence to gather information, and happened to overhear Zhuge Liang's trusted aide Yang Hong shouting emphatically, "Men should fight, and women should support"

He stared at Liu Shan with his green bean-like eyes, sizing him up from head to toe, and said warily

Damn, will this fool Liu Shan delegate power? I will kill you!

Liu Shan mustered his courage and slowly approached, only to see that the various screens were displaying different scenes. He tilted his head to observe closely, but to his dismay, he found that he could not understand any of the content on them. Only a few screens showing real images of men and women provided him with a slight sense of comfort.

Where is this!

Those who hold views vastly different from Liu Shan are vigorously striking the strange square panels in front of the light screen, producing a series of crackling sounds that even carry a certain rhythm

Liu Shan's snow-white nightgown and long, flowing hair were incongruous with everything around him

Indeed, that dizzying sensation struck again

That person not only did not leave upon seeing Liu Shan, but instead approached even closer, becoming even more enraged.

"Internet café, where else?" The person replied, "What do you do?"

It is said that the old thief Cao Cao has personally led his troops to Chang'an and will soon arrive on the battlefield to confront his father directly

Liu Shan stared blankly for a while before regaining his senses. He immediately realized that, for some unknown reason, he had left his own chamber and found himself in a place he had never seen before

Upon careful reflection, those individuals are all engaged in their tasks before the screens, seemingly without any malice towards themselves. In this strange world, they can come and go freely, and my own fear does indeed feel somewhat embarrassing.

Although Liu Shan had experienced many hardships since childhood and had tasted quite a few delicacies, he had never imagined that there could be such a wonderful flavor. It made his stomach growl uncontrollably, and he found himself instinctively searching for the source of that enticing aroma

Ah...

The Battle of Hanzhong did not go well, and this is already a well-known fact among all.

The source of the fragrance was within the house. Liu Shan searched for a moment and unexpectedly discovered that this peculiar aroma was wafting out from the wall

In the residence of the Governor of Yizhou and the Left General, Liu Shan, who was twelve years old at the time, was tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He shouted loudly, and the world before him spun in a dizzying whirl, feeling as if everything around him was turned upside down

It is not the fragrance of a maid, but rather a scent... that seems to emanate from the cooking of exquisite delicacies

Out of curiosity, he pressed his face against the wall and surprisingly felt a faint warmth emanating from the cold surface, accompanied by a strange crackling sound that seemed to come from within.

"Isn't this wall made of bricks and earth?" Liu Shan curiously pushed against the wall, and the thick wall surprisingly emitted a faint light, as if it transformed into a door in an instant

He sighed again and walked back into the room with his hands behind his back, moving unsteadily

Listening to the even breathing of the maid by the bedside, Liu Shan fell into deep self-doubt

The courtyard was desolate and cold, and the chilly wind made Liu Shan shiver, instinctively letting out a mature sigh

How is this possible

Liu Shan heard that person muttering unhappily, seemingly very dissatisfied with himself

This room is slightly larger than Liu Shan's bedroom, shrouded in darkness, with no lights lit. It is barely illuminated by the faint glow of fireflies, which barely manage to light up the room

Liu Shan had not yet reacted when he felt a powerful suction force rushing towards him, causing his body to involuntarily collide with it

Only when he focused intently did the person in front of the light curtain realize something and hurriedly operated a stone tablet-like object on the right side to make the image disappear, then turned around and cast a meaningful glance at Liu Shan

The Lord of Chengdu, the current Governor of Yizhou Liu Bei, launched the Battle of Hanzhong last year, attacking the renowned generals Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He who were guarding Hanzhong

In the next moment, a thunderous sound from beside him startled him, causing him to sit down on the ground.

Although the person's choice of words was peculiar, Liu Shan was still able to understand it

He reached out to open the door, and once again, there was a whirlwind of sensations. After experiencing the marvelous feeling of being turned upside down, he returned to his own room

Liu Shan adjusted his plain white nightgown, took a deep breath, and once again cautiously leaned against the wall

Ah

What was that just now

Liu Shan longed many times to grow up all at once, to become as brave and skilled in battle as his uncles Guan and Zhang, and his elder brother Liu Feng, so that he could follow closely by his father's side without leaving him.

He approached with a bold demeanor, performed a bow, and humbly inquired:

What is this outfit? Are you going to perform in a grand opera?

Whose child is it that is running here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping

After adapting to the brief dizziness, the strange world once again presented itself before Liu Shan.

The room is neatly filled with long, high tables and peculiar seating.

Last year, Ma Chao and Zhang Fei were defeated by Cao Xiu, and Chen Shi also suffered a significant defeat at the hands of Xu Huang, resulting in heavy losses and an unfavorable situation in the battlefield

The New Year of the 24th year of Jian'an had just passed, yet the atmosphere in Chengdu, Shujun, was one of grimness. In the late-night streets, one could occasionally see valiant warriors clad in heavy armor and wielding long weapons passing by.

Only he himself knows that Liu Shanwen cannot establish a nation, and in martial matters, he cannot bring peace to the state; he is afraid that he may not be able to assist his father in any meaningful way

Is this not the residence of Haotian

The warm charcoal fire and the brocade quilt created a very conducive environment for sleep, but whenever he thought of his father braving the wind and snow to confront formidable enemies, this young man had been unable to sleep well for several days.

The strange Hu Chuang-style seats were occupied by a sparse group of young men and women, but their attire was peculiar; the men had very short hair, and the women's hair accessories were bizarre. Liu Shan stared blankly for a while, yet he could not discern who these people were or where they came from
