The appearance of the mythical beast, the Black Tortoise, made the people of Changsha overjoyed and sincerely kowtowed. Tens of thousands of villagers gathered in front of the prefect's mansion, begging Sun Jian to build a ancestral temple in the land where the divine beast Black Tortoise broke through the soil to protect the living.
In the study room, Han Shang held the Dun Jia Heavenly Book with one hand. Sometimes, he sat in a daze, and his mind was only filled with the accompanying divine item, the Black Tortoise Axe.
Han Shang put away the Divination Heavenly Book and made up his mind to leave the room.
Han Shang was familiar with the trend of the Three Kingdoms. Three years later, in the year 189, Dong Zhuo took over the dynasty. In the first month of the year 190, all the vassals raised their troops at the same time with Yuan Shao as the leader to attack Dong Zhuo. At that time, the world would be in chaos.
It is better to be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times. Life is difficult and life is cheaper than a dog.
" What? You want to travel the world?" Han Dang shouted and stood up.
" Yes, father. I plan to travel around the world to learn," Han Shang replied. After careful consideration, Han Shang decided to sneak into the governor's mansion at night and steal the Black Tortoise Axe. Whether he succeeded or not, he would leave Changsha.
" You are still young, let's wait a few more years." Mrs. Cao pulled Han Shang's hand with a face full of reluctance.
" Mother, you don't have to worry. If you travel the world, you can make friends with the world's famous people. It'll be good for you to make a name for yourself in the future." Han Shang's mind was filled with the Black Tortoise Axe.
"The world is unstable now, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban are rampant. You're only twelve years old. How can you travel the world?”Han Dan persuaded with an amiable attitude.
" Father, I intend to go to Luoyang and become Lu Zhi's disciple. When the world is more stable, I will look for the world's famous people," Han Shang found an excuse.
Han Shang loved reading. If he could really become a disciple of the famous Lu Zhi, it would not be difficult for him to get an official position in the court. Han Dang thought for a moment and nodded.""That's good too. It's much better than your father training and fighting all day long.”
Cao shi's eyes turned red when she heard her husband's words and she almost cried.
Han Shang hurriedly coaxed Cao shi.
The night sky was pitch black without the moon.
Han Shang secretly exclaimed,'The heavens are on my side.' He left a letter behind and left the Han Residence.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the folk customs were simple. Usually, people did not have the money to buy oil lamps. The streets were dark, and there were only a few barks.
Han Shang jumped into the prefect's mansion in a dark and light manner.
At this time, it was the third watch of the night. Even the lanterns in the prefect's manor had been burned out. It was pitch-black. Only a house in the east wing had an oil lamp lit up. The little light could only illuminate a corner.
Han Shang covered his face and sneaked closer to the brightly lit house, looking inside through the window. A young man with wall pupils was staring blankly at the brocade box on the table.
Han Shang's eyes widened. That brocade box was the one that Sun Jian had used to store the divine item during the day.
The green-eyed young man was squatting with his hands on the brocade box, deep in thought. Han Shang guessed that the brocade box was either the Dragon Eggshell or the Black Tortoise Axe. There must be one of the two.
This person's appearance was somewhat familiar with Sun Jian, and with that pair of eyes, it was very likely that he was the little tyrant of River East, Sun Ce, a fierce general of the Three Kingdoms. Han Shang was thinking about whether he could succeed in the name contest. Although he had been cultivating the 'Life Force Formula' and the 'Slaughtering Barren Spearless' diligently, he had never fought anyone before.
The temptation of the Black Tortoise Axe was fatal to Han Shang. He jumped into the room without caring about anything else and aimed his spear at Sun Ce's throat. The oil lamp was blown out wherever the spear passed by, and the room was instantly pitch-black.
Sun Ce was 13 years old now. He had started to practice his family's ultimate technique, Counterattack Sword, when he was five years old. His current skills were not weak and far surpassed ordinary generals.
Clang! The sword and spear collided.
At that moment, Han Shang felt a thousand jin of force coming from the sharp sword, and the spear almost slipped out of his hand.
" Who dares to barge into the prefect's manor at night?" Sun Ce shouted angrily.
Sun Ce was known as the little tyrant, and he was extremely ferocious. He used his monstrous sword aura to suppress Han Shang, who was in black, without any strength to fight back.
In the darkness, Han Shang was suppressed to the point that he found it difficult to breathe. However, the strength of Sun Ce's sword was not as strong as the first strike. Han Shang guessed that the first strike should be the Sun Clan's Counterattack Sword.
It was said that the Sun family's 'Counterattack Sword', the stronger the attack, the greater the rebound force.
Han Shang was shocked by the power of Sun Ce's first sword. Coupled with Sun Ce's fame in the future, he could not even use the spear technique that he had painstakingly practiced. He completely lost his composure.
Han Shang knew that something was wrong and shouted angrily. He swept his spear and broke through Sun Ce's suppression. He turned around and rushed out.
Sun Ce laughed out loud.
Han Shang jumped out of the bed and squatted beside the flowers. The sky was so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers.
Sun Ce followed closely behind. Suddenly, he couldn't hear any footsteps. He became vigilant and carefully moved forward. Since there was no sound, it meant that the person was standing still and would attack at any time.
"Clang!"
More than ten zhang away, the sound of a rock hitting the ground could be heard. Sun Ce swung his sword and rushed over.
Han Shang was pleased with himself. He had fooled the brave generals of the Three Kingdoms with a child's trick. He turned around and nimbly entered the room. He carefully touched the long table and reached for the brocade box along the table. He was ecstatic and hugged it in his arms.
"Whoosh ~"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by his ears, and Han Shang rolled on the ground in shock.
The sound of a table being cut by a sharp sword could be heard.
Han Shang took a breath of his true energy and dashed out of the window. Behind him, Sun Ce was furious,"" Little thief, you're courting death." He flicked his sword and shot it out.
"Ah!"
Han Shang's right arm was cut open by a sharp sword, and blood gushed out. Han Shang ignored the pain and ran toward the wall as he remembered the route.
Sun Ce heard the footsteps and followed closely behind.
As soon as Han Shang climbed over the wall, he leaned against the wall and held his breath. As a true master in his previous life, it was a compulsory course for him to go around the forest at night to avoid being chased.
Sun Ce was only a child in his teens. How could he be more experienced than Han Shang, who had lived two lives?
Sun Ce jumped over the wall and lost his target. Sun Ce cursed in his heart. He had been deceived by that guy. He jumped back into the courtyard and lightly moved his feet to listen to his surroundings. There was no movement at all.
Shocked, he rushed back into the room and lit the oil lamp. The brocade box was no longer on the long table.
……
The sky lit up.
A large number of people had already gathered at the city gate, wanting to leave the city. At night, the city gates would be closed, and the drawbridge would be pulled up. Ordinary people would not be able to leave the city gates.
With Han Shang's current lightness skill, he was still unable to leap over the 100-foot-tall city wall. He could only obediently queue up at the city gate for inspection.
" Shang 'er…" A familiar voice sounded. In the distance, Han Dang, clad in armor, was galloping over on a date red warhorse. Han Shang turned his head in the crowd and looked at his father riding his horse. He felt uneasy.
Could it be that Sun Jian was suspecting him?
"Shang 'er, why did you leave the letter and run away? You are even more impatient than your father. You don't have to worry that I'm only here to send you off and won't take you back.”Han Dan walked closer and said. Then, he turned his head and instructed the soldiers guarding the door, This is my second son letting you through."
The captain saluted Han Dang and said,""General Han, an assassin came to the prefect's manor last night. The inspection is a bit strict now, please forgive me for neglecting you.”He turned around and shouted,"Let them in."
Han Shang rode his warhorse out of Changsha.
In the forest ten miles away from the city, Han Shang finally opened the brocade box. Last night, he was afraid that the strong light would attract the pursuit of others, so he suppressed his curiosity and only opened the brocade box now.
The brocade box emitted a gentle seven-colored light. Inside it was a transparent dragon egg shell.
Han Shang was disappointed, but it was within his expectations. Sun Jian must have given the dragon egg shell to Sun Ce to increase his strength and become a peerless general.
……
At the prefect's manor.
Sun Jian was dressed in casual clothes and had a sword strapped to his waist as he paced back and forth in the room.
Sun Ce sat at the side in a daze, not saying a word.
" You're so strong. You've wasted your time studying the Book of War and the Thirty-Six Stratagems. How are you going to achieve great things in the future?" Sun Jian was so angry that his face turned green.
" If it wasn't for the darkness of the night, that person wouldn't have been my match at all. I'll take his head within ten moves," Sun Ce said firmly. Although he was young, he was full of dominance.
" No matter how poor you are, you still don't know your mistake after losing such a precious treasure." Sun Jian pulled out his sword and pointed it at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce stood up abruptly, turned around, and left the room.
"I'll definitely get it back."
