Chapter 1: The Return of the Troubled Times

At 8:20 in the evening.

Among the residential properties just developed in the past two years in the suburbs of Shanghai, there is an ordinary high-rise residential building that cannot be more ordinary.

With a wave of imperceptible shock and tearing, a man in a weird outfit suddenly appeared in one of the black lights.

No one indoors.

Naturally, no one could see how this young man in his twenties suddenly appeared in the living room of the room out of thin air. The tattered and blood-stained big red battle jacket, the eight-petal round hat-brim iron helmet and the old-style musket in his hand would not attract attention.

"This is???" Shao Cheng was stunned, but then he became surprised: "This is back?"

Around them are familiar and unfamiliar decorations and furnishings.

The second-hand sofa I bought after renting the house...a white wall that is not allowed to be nailed to hang things... and the cheap laminate floor under my feet...

Although he had been away for three years, Shao Cheng quickly realized that this was the house he lived in before traveling through time?

And it was exactly the same as when he left, as if there was not even a little new dust falling in three years...

Immediately.

Shao Cheng then reacted - perhaps all this was not maintained for three years, but simply because he had only experienced three years... Did he travel through the late Ming Dynasty and travel back to the time of leaving? Or was there a huge difference in the flow rate between the two worlds?

Such thinking only lasted for a very short time.

Shao Cheng, who knew that it would be difficult for him to find the answer for a while, sat on his familiar sofa. The soft and comfortable touch made Shao Cheng feel that his bones were soft...

People living in a modern peaceful society may find it difficult to understand Shao Cheng's feelings.

I suddenly traveled through time three years ago when I was taking a shower.

From the shock and fear of the first time travel to the discovery that I was in the late Ming Dynasty, I began to think about how to survive in the late Ming Dynasty...

I work hard for a rough meal and sleep in the airy woodshed...

The city was lost and was surrounded by the thieves. He had to charge with the Ming army's platoons...

I wanted to follow the rebel army and seize the opportunity to offer advice to Li Zicheng... but I was jealous of Li Zicheng's number one strategist Niu Jinxing, designed to exclude Shao Cheng, and finally drove Shao Cheng out of the rebel army...

He wandered all the way, but was once again caught by the Ming army. He became a member of the volleyball team and shot at the peasant army that was like a crowd on the opposite side...

Over the past three years, Shao Cheng has tasted the taste of being a human being in troubled times.

Perhaps it would be better for those real Ming Dynasty people - people like Shao Cheng who had no household registration and could not even tell the source of the source were not possible to stay in one place to do business and become an official! After hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty court, which had developed to a solid and dead state, was not something that an outsider like Shao Cheng could insert into at will.

And that era.

The entire court and even the people have long been extremely corrupt.

Money and power have become the only mainstream pursuit.

The imperial court and the army were corrupt, exploited, and lax in training. Even the weapons were smuggled and sold, and only some defective products were distributed.

Even though Shao Cheng took the opportunity to propose innovative reforms and suggestions to the above repeatedly, and even spent a lot of time imitating a missionary's flintlock pistol to improve the bird gun, the result was the punishment and ridicule of dozens of military sticks by Shangguan...

Only when everyone around me is corrupt, not ashamed, but proud, looking around, there is no one who makes facts... bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen, soldiers have no honor, nations, and country are so dark and corrupt.

So far.

Shao Chengcai understood why the Ming Dynasty, a population of millions, had a huge empire so easily collapsed in history and was destroyed by the Jurchens with more than 100,000 soldiers.

Let me ask.

Most people in a country have become villains who have no morality, no honor, no nation, no justice and justice. They only look at money, power, and fear of death... How can this make no end to death?!

...

Knock knock knock knock...

Just as Shao Cheng was glaring in a daze and was about to fall asleep on the sofa, a crisp knock outside the door woke him up instantly!

On the ground, Shao Cheng sat up from the sofa.

Three years of troubled life bring not only hardships and hardships, but also the alertness developed in many crises.

Knock knock knock knock...

The knock on the door sounded again.

The unique voice of the security door made Shao Cheng react - he had already left the chaotic world where the peasant army, Ming army, and bandits were fighting everywhere.

He walked to the door a few steps, held the door frame, and looked through the cat's eyes: Shao Cheng saw that the woman standing outside the door was actually a woman he had never seen before!

Hesitated for a moment.

Shao Cheng opened the door.

"Hello, I'm from the upper floor... I lost my bag today and I can't get in. Can I borrow your phone and use it?" The woman at the door said politely.

"Oh, okay...I'll find it for you." Shao Cheng agreed and remembered that he had been away for three years and had long forgotten where his phone was placed.

Fortunately, Shao Cheng’s previous mobile phones were either placed on the table or on the sofa.

After searching for a while, I found my cell phone from the armrest of the sofa.

"Thank you." The woman took the phone and couldn't hide her curiosity when she looked at Shao Cheng with her politeness.

"COSPLAY, I sometimes play role-playing." Shao Cheng casually made an excuse.

Fortunately, various novel behaviors are emerging in modern society. Although only COSPLAY enthusiasts are eye-catching, they are just ordinary hobbies after all.

The woman smiled politely and made a call with her cell phone.

Taking advantage of this shortcut, Shao Chuang, who had already developed the habit of careful observation in the troubled times, began to look and analyze this woman...

At about 28 or 9 years old, his skin is very good - fair and shiny. If it weren't for conversation, Shao Cheng would never dare to make such a decision.

The oval face has beautiful and delicate facial features, seven-pointed and three-pointed gorgeous, gentle temperament, and no pretentiousness at all.

She is a woman who makes people know that she is comfortable to get along with at first glance.

This temperament, as well as the not-fancy waist-hugging skirt, black stockings and black high heels, shows that this woman may be engaged in office white-collar workers or other similar jobs...

With this way, you can easily remove the appearance of a large number of young models and work hard, it shows that this woman's character should be OK...

Shao Cheng analyzed this much information in his mind in a short time, and the woman naturally had no idea.

After making the call, I returned the phone very politely.

When they got along with their fingertips during the intercourse, the smoothness made Shao Cheng feel swayed...

‘What a top-notch woman…’ Shao Cheng thought to himself that this three-year experience in troubled times had greatly changed Shao Cheng.

If it was the Shao Cheng three years ago.

I am afraid that I would not dare to have any ideas if I met this young woman dozens or hundreds of times. For him, maybe he would be honest and find a woman who is not ugly or beautiful, and live his life in a simple life. If he can get promoted and raise money in the future, buy a few houses and collect rent, and have another car, maybe his greatest ambition.

But in the three years of traveling through the late Ming Dynasty... Shao Cheng's heart, who had experienced a lot, had already undergone tremendous changes.

Perhaps, he himself did not clearly realize that the "power first" and "speak with a knife" in troubled times had long been deeply rooted in his thinking!
