Chapter 56

Hearing Qin Feng's points one by one, the Yellow Turban followers nodded in agreement, deeply moved.

After Qin Feng further explained with principles and the future, Zhang Bao finally had a great epiphany. He hurriedly stood up, trembling with excitement, and raised his arm, saying, "The Yellow Heaven has bestowed Helian Mountain to us Yellow Turbans! From now on, we should accept all knowledgeable people who are willing to join our Taiping Dao."

Everyone was in strong agreement, praising him non-stop.

However, Zhang Bao was still very worried and said, "Helian Mountain, will those people surrender to us Yellow Turbans?"

Qin Feng sighed with relief, knowing his efforts had not been in vain. He smiled and said, "These well-read people value the wise and the capable. Now that our Yellow Turbans are sweeping across the land, I believe they will make the right choice. If they refuse, we can always use threats and inducements; I have my ways."

Zhang Bao was overjoyed and entrusted Qin Feng with this task.

After the Yellow Turbans rejoiced for a while, Zhang Liang said, "To eliminate the court as soon as possible, I suggest we launch a major attack on Huangfu Song tomorrow!"

"General Ren Gong's words are wise; I am willing to be the vanguard!" Bo Cai stood up and said with enthusiasm.

"I am also willing to be the vanguard!" Peng Tuo also stood up and said.

Immediately, all the Yellow Turban leaders stood up, vying to be the vanguard. Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were delighted.

Qin Feng's eyes twitched. He stepped forward and said to Zhang Bao, "Second Master, why don't I persuade Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to surrender, and use them as the vanguard to attack the government troops? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Zhang Bao was taken aback at first, then clapped his hands and laughed, "That's exactly right, wonderful, wonderful!"

Thus, everyone was enlightened, all praising Qin Feng. Zhang Yan even said, "Everyone, with Helian Mountain, our Yellow Turbans are no less than the Han with Zhang Liang!"

Qin Feng also thought it was wonderful, saying to himself that it was truly wonderful. He planned to, when the time came, join forces with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and directly defect on the battlefield, avoiding the danger of secretly leaving the Yellow Turban camp.

After all matters were settled, Zhang Bao personally held a banquet to welcome Qin Feng.

When Qin Feng raised his cup, he couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that my first welcome after returning to the Eastern Han would be in the Yellow Turban camp!"

In the afternoon, everyone dispersed.

Bu Ji was the last to leave. When the last person left the tent, he immediately stopped and walked back.

Zhang Bao was very puzzled and said, "Bu Ji, do you have something?"

Bu Ji's eyes flashed with a sinister look, and he said to Zhang Bao, "Second Master, the sudden appearance of Helian Mountain, who speaks so convincingly, is unprecedented in our Yellow Turbans. It's suspicious, could he be a spy for the government troops?"

Zhang Bao was startled and said, "That's impossible. He is very familiar with the Yellow Turbans in Luoyang, knows our secret code, and has General Zhang Yan as his guarantor. How could he be a spy?"

Bu Ji, the head of the Yellow Turban secret service, suspected everyone except the Master. He flicked his拂尘 (duster) and said with a sinister face, "Second Master, we must be cautious."

Zhang Bao also flicked his duster and said, "If so, you will accompany Helian Mountain, keep a close eye on him, and secretly investigate whether he is a government spy and whether he is loyal to our Taiping Dao!"

"Understood!" Bu Ji flicked his duster again and turned to leave.

It was around three in the afternoon. Qin Feng was in his tent, organizing his thoughts, when a Yellow Turban attendant came in and said, "General Helian, General Bu Ji has arrived!"

Bu Ji walked in himself, looking at Qin Feng, who was lying on the bed, with a sinister glint in his eyes. He smiled and said, "General Helian, Second Master has sent me to assist you in persuading Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to surrender. I think the sooner, the better... ." He then turned halfway and made a gesture, smiling, "General, shall we go to the prison now?"

Qin Feng, who had been the Emperor of Hongwu in his previous life, had seen and experienced everything. He could tell from Bu Ji's words and demeanor that the Yellow Turban "secret service head" suspected him. His heart skipped a beat, but he leaped up and smiled, "General Bu Ji, you are right. Let's go."

Shortly after, Qin Feng, led by Bu Ji, arrived at the prison tent. Along the way, Bu Ji kept probing, asking about secret codes and confidential matters. If it were anyone else, they would have been exposed. Fortunately, Qin Feng had ordered the historians to compile information about the Yellow Turban rebellion in his previous life, so he knew more about the Yellow Turbans than Bu Ji.

Thus, there were no flaws. Bu Ji had no reason to suspect Qin Feng, but Qin Feng's sudden appearance and strong abilities made it hard for Bu Ji, the head of the Yellow Turban secret service, to let go of his suspicions.

When the Yellow Turban soldiers lifted the curtain, Qin Feng and Bu Ji entered the prison.

Qin Feng's vision darkened as he looked around. He thought, "Indeed, it's a prison. The layout, passed down for thousands of years, is similar to what is shown on TV. There are torture racks and a furnace, making the tent stiflingly hot but also giving it a chilling atmosphere."

"General Helian, these are Cao Cao and Yuan Shao," Bu Ji pointed inside.

By this time, Qin Feng's eyes had adjusted to the darkness. He looked and was shocked! He saw a torture rack at the back, with two people hanging by their hands, their feet about seven to eight centimeters off the ground. Their upper bodies were bare, covered in whip marks and open wounds. Their pants were tattered, and blood was flowing continuously, pooling on the ground.

Mengde! Benchu! Qin Feng was shaken to the core. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's faces were unrecognizable, swollen like pig heads, their lips like sausages, and their eyelids bruised and swollen like bells, making it impossible for them to open their eyes. If it weren't for Qin Feng, no one would have recognized them.

The torture was brutal.

Qin Feng knew that the Yellow Turbans, in Changshe, did not need intelligence from the government troops, as ancient warfare was more transparent than modern warfare. Therefore, the Yellow Turbans did not need to torture Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but the state of the two men clearly showed that the Yellow Turbans were venting their hatred for the government troops on them.

Cao Cao was even darker, and Yuan Shao's head was even larger, like the coin "Yuan Shou."

Seeing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao unconscious, Bu Ji was very dissatisfied. "How can General Helian question them like this? Wake them up with water!"

"Understood!" The guards, who looked like fierce demons, immediately picked up a bucket of water and splashed it out.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, shocked by the water, immediately woke up. The intense pain made them cry out in agony. Despite their swollen eyelids, they managed to open them slightly. The first thing they saw was Bu Ji, whose image was deeply etched in their minds.

"Stop beating us, stop beating us!" Their cries for mercy continued.

Even Cao Cao and Yuan Shao could not endure the continuous torture. Especially since they were not being interrogated, they had no chance to catch their breath.

During this time, the two men were in agony, their hearts broken, and they had no choice but to submit verbally.

Seeing their condition, Qin Feng sighed deeply. "I never thought that in this life, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would be beaten so badly by the Yellow Turbans. It's all my fault..." He wanted to save Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and walked forward to give them a signal.

Bu Ji immediately pointed to Qin Feng and said to Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, "We are not here to beat you; this general is here to 'save' you." In Bu Ji's view, if Qin Feng could persuade Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to surrender, he would be saving them.

However, upon hearing that they were to be saved, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao immediately perked up. They endured the intense pain and opened their swollen eyelids a bit more.

Yuan Shao had never met Qin Feng in this life, so he was at a loss.

But Cao Cao had met Qin Feng before. When he saw Qin Feng, he was shocked and immediately became very excited. His hanging arms made a clattering sound as he called out, "Is it you, Qin Feng? Is it you, Zijin?" The prison was dark, but he strained to open his swollen eyes and saw that it was indeed Qin Feng. His face, swollen like a pig's head, was immediately filled with joy, and he shouted, "It's Zijin! Has our army come? Are you here to save us?"

This shout startled everyone in the tent.

Qin Feng was greatly shocked, took three steps back, and his face changed.

Seeing this, Bu Ji's heart trembled, and he was filled with the joy of capturing his prey. He laughed three times and said, "Good! Indeed a spy! Men, seize this Qin Zijin!"

Qin Feng was terrified, feeling a chill down his spine for the first time in his life. He thought, "Well, Cao Mengde, in your previous life, you stabbed people to the point of sublimation. In this life, you don't even need to stab me yourself; you're trying to stab me to death."

Qin Feng had thought that even if he appeared suddenly, Cao Cao, with his abilities, would be able to cooperate seamlessly. But he didn't expect...

This is not fearing a god-like opponent, but fearing a pig-like teammate. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
