Chapter 7 Zhang Tong (1/2)
Chapter 7 – Zhang Tong
December 28th, 180 AD. A small village in Julu District, Ningjin County, Zhang's family resident.
A young boy was sitting by himself on a straw mat in a small courtyard, watching his father copying some content in a scroll into another blank scroll on the table. The middle-age father was wearing a yellow Daoist robe. His hair was tied neatly.
The father finished copying the scroll, then he handed to his disciple nearby.
”This is the last one for today. Remember this content and go preach it to the people”
”Yes, brother Jiao.”
”Has Ma Yuanyi departed?”
”He has left last week. He said he was visiting Yang Province first then he would head to Jing.”
”Very well. We should start training our soldiers soon.”
The father was Zhang Jiao, the soon to be the leader of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the history of China.
The young boy that was sitting behind him, witnessing the course of the history, was none other than Tong. He was born into the Zhang's household, and was the direct descendant of Zhang Jiao.
He was now called Zhang Tong. His age was now 15 years old, about to be 16 in a few days.
Tong watched his current father and bit his lower lip. He wanted to stop his father and told him about the history or the future. But he could not do so.

*********************
When he was one year-old, he received this mission. The mission, gave by the system, forced Tong to change his strategy the moment he grasped bit of power to change fate.
Tong was planning to alter the course of history, and had his father change his occupation from a shaman healer daoist into a merchant. Then both of them would move to Xiang Yang and spend the rest of their life there peacefully.
Now he had no choice but to support his father from behind. Furthermore, on January 180 AD, his fate was sealed by an announcement of a new mission.
*********************
**Main Mission No.15**

*********************
Although his fate was sealed, he was still optimistic about his future.
The rewards of the two mission was very tempting. 2,000 years of lifespan and bonus EXP for active skills would always be welcomed.
Those abundant lifespan could be used to level up his [Time Stop] skill later.
But the punishment was too over the top. He would die if he failed.
”Haah … 3 more years and hell will break loose.”
Tong sighed. He knew too well what the Yellow Turban Rebellion was going to face in 3 years.
If Tong were to lead an army against the native heroes, such as Sun Jian, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, then it would be a difficult challenge.
He was only an ordinary police officer in his previous life. He had no confident about leading over 10,000 troops into a battlefield against historical figures.
Real life was never like a video game where you can see everything with bird-eye view, point out here and there and have your troops do everything.
Tong walked out of the courtyard, ignoring his father and his men, and strolled in the little village he lived in.
Everyday life here was like walking on the edge of a cliff. There were bandits everywhere. The officials turned blind eyes on the crimes and triad gangsters. Even the patrolling soldier would sometimes stormed into a random house, asking for protection money.
Moreover, he didn't forget that when he had been sent here, the mysterious messages told him that there were other 99 sinners in this world too.
Tong had no idea where they were sent, nor who were they, or what skill they had.
But Tong was not worried too much. Somehow, he had another thumb card that popped up out of nowhere when he reincarnated into this world.
