Chapter 59

For Qin Feng, whether Cao Cao and Yuan Shao would surrender had temporarily become the most anticipated thing.

Inside the prison tent.

After a night of "rest," Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked much better in spirit. Cao Cao, with a dark face,勉强地抬起肿胀的眼皮，露出一丝缝隙。虽然被吊着，但仍然冷眼看着秦峰，骂道：“该死的禾山，你这个奸细，叛逆！我之前怎么没有看出来你，若是不然，将你五马分尸！”

Qin Feng smiled, thinking to himself, 曹儿黑，你小子够狠的。

Yuan Shao also had a dark face, but his eyes flickered, not daring to look at Qin Feng.

Because Qin Feng had been so ruthless with the two of them, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao only thought that Qin Feng was indeed a spy for the Yellow Turbans. The two, who were hungry and had been beaten, had no extra brainpower to think about the details.

Suddenly, Qin Feng felt a gentle breeze beside him. As the duster flashed, Bu Ji spoke, with the appearance of a cruel official, smiling and saying, “General He Shan, you mentioned ten cruel tortures yesterday. I am very curious. Can I see them today?”

Qin Feng glanced at him, thinking to himself, 你小子这拂尘甩的，给你太监角色，你都不用演，往那一矗就行了。

When Cao Cao and Yuan Shao heard about the ten cruel tortures, they trembled all over. Qin Feng laughed and said, “Sure, but before that, I need to ask the two generals a question.” He then took out a wooden stick, using the tip to lift Cao Cao's chin, and asked, “曹儿黑，你是否投降呢？”

“咦，你怎么知道我的小名？”

Qin Feng thought to himself, 我一直都不知道，直到上一世为你著书立传的时候，走访了太多你的家人，这才从夏侯惇那里挖掘了出来。

Cao Cao opened his bleeding mouth, veins bulging on his forehead, and shouted, “I, Cao Mengde, am a man of the Han, and even in death, I will be a ghost of the Han. I will never surrender!” As he finished speaking, he tried to spit, but Qin Feng was prepared. As soon as Cao Cao opened his mouth, Qin Feng thrust the stick into it.

As the stick went in and out, Cao Cao also swallowed and spat.

Qin Feng feigned shock, thinking to himself, 捅嘴是不是打这里来的？捅也要捅美女，他顿时起了一身鸡皮疙瘩，拔出棍子，说道：“曹孟德，你最好记住今天的话！可别食言而肥？”

Cao Cao, feeling questioned, became furious and shouted, “If I violate my oath, may I be struck by lightning!”

Qin Feng was surprised, thinking to himself, 好好好，曹儿黑有你这句话就行了，你就等着天打雷劈吧。但他转念一想，曹操无论在任何情况下都没有称帝，是不是就是受制于今天的诺言？

Qin Feng turned to Yuan Shao, “袁大头，你头特别大，家族第一，想来里面一定有货，俗话说识时务者为俊杰，投降不？”

“哎呀，你竟然知道我的小名！”

Qin Feng initially did not know, but when writing a biography of Yuan Shao, he visited the old acquaintances of the four generations of the Three Excellencies and learned from Yang Biao, a senior official of four dynasties, that Yuan Shao had a nickname.

This northern warlord, the most accomplished of the four generations of the Three Excellencies, shook his large head and said, “I am the descendant of the Four Generations of the Three Excellencies and will not surrender.” Although he said it calmly, it left no room for doubt.

Bu Ji flicked his duster and sneered, “See? If General He Shan has no good method, it's better to take them to the front and kill them to honor the flag.” He then added strangely, “However, it seems that General He Shan has already given a guarantee to the Second Master!”

Qin Feng suddenly raised the wooden stick, which frightened Bu Ji, who quickly retreated, his face changing. But Qin Feng raised it heavily and put it down lightly, smiling, “Come, prepare the pepper water for me!”

“Pepper water?” Bu Ji was confused, “What is this?”

Qin Feng slapped his forehead, forgetting that there were no peppers at this time. Fortunately, Emperor Hongwu, who was well-informed, immediately said, “It's Evodia, commonly known as Ai Zi.”

Since ancient times, Evodia has been used as both a medicine and a food, and before peppers were introduced to China, it was one of the main sources of spiciness in Sichuan cuisine.

The Yellow Turban thugs knew this plant and immediately went to prepare it. Qin Feng specially instructed, “Fry it in oil.”

“Ah!” Bu Ji was stunned. Although Evodia had been known since ancient times, many things are not fully understood until they are pointed out, leading to many seemingly simple situations that are often overlooked. Therefore, Bu Ji had no idea what was about to happen.

“A plant, is it a torture?” Bu Ji asked, puzzled.

Qin Feng smiled, “Be patient, you'll see soon.” He then sat down five steps away from the torture racks, and Bu Ji flicked his duster, lifted his robe, and sat beside him.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao had both arms suspended, their upper bodies bare and covered in whip marks, revealing black hair under their armpits. With their feet ten centimeters off the ground, any slight movement caused a ripple. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with fear.

“Mengde……”

“Don't be afraid, who are we? We will never surrender to these rebels, and if we must, we will die!”

Yuan Shao was speechless. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the enemy would not let him die.

After a short while, the Yellow Turban thugs returned.

“General, we found the Evodia!”

“We also found the pot and the oil!” The thugs placed the pot on the stove and said.

Qin Feng was organizing his thoughts and did not look, just waving his hand, “Prepare it.”

About a minute later, the sound of frying came, and Qin Feng was surprised. Turning around, he saw that the Yellow Turban thugs were frying the "peppers" inside the tent, and smoke immediately billowed out.

Qin Feng's face changed, and he angrily said, “You fools, do you think you have a range hood now? Frying in a closed space!” He covered his nose and ran out.

Bu Ji immediately showed a look of contempt, “It's just frying some plants, what are you afraid of!”

However, half a minute later.

“Uh cough cough cough……” Bu Ji covered his nose with his duster and ran out of the tent, feeling very awkward when he saw Qin Feng, now understanding the power of frying "pepper oil" in a closed space.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, showed a look of contempt and sneered, “Now you know, right?”

Bu Ji opened his mouth, “Uh cough cough cough……”

Then, four Yellow Turban thugs also ran out, coughing.

But the Yellow Turbans far away, smelling the diluted scent, found it very pleasant, thinking it must be a special meal for the generals. They had no chance to eat it, but smelling it was good. When they got closer and took a deep breath, their faces immediately changed.

Thus, the tent inside and out was filled with coughing, and the only one standing was Qin Feng, while the others bent over and coughed violently.

“What kind of smoke is this, so intense!” Everyone was shocked.

Trapped inside the tent, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao coughed violently, their lungs almost coughing out, “Uh cough cough, what is this rebel He Shan doing?”

Yuan Shao was alarmed, “This is bad, he is going to torture us with this!”

“Ah!” Cao Cao was terrified. For him, being whipped was a daily occurrence. Therefore, this unknown thing was even more terrifying.

After a while, the smoke in the tent dissipated, and when Qin Feng entered, he received a bowl of Evodia imitation "pepper water." He brought it to Bu Ji and said, “How about it, do you want to try it first?”

Bu Ji tried to hold on, saying, “I want to see the power of this one of the ten cruel tortures.” He then extended his finger, dipped a drop, and touched the tip of his tongue. His face immediately turned green.

“Ugh!” Although Bu Ji was from the north, he became the first northerner to eat pepper water 1800 years ago. The intense taste was unbearable. He grabbed his neck, feeling dizzy, and just as he was about to grab Qin Feng, Qin Feng dodged, and Bu Ji fell to the ground, his face turning purple.

Within five minutes, Bu Ji was either thrashing like a carp, bowing like a shrimp, or rolling like a lazy donkey, screaming like a pig, “Give me water!”

However, the more water he drank, the spicier it became……

After a while, Bu Ji finally calmed down, feeling deeply frightened. He stared with red eyes and flattered, “General He Shan is amazing, to invent such a torture. Come, use the torture!”

Seeing this, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were terrified, thinking, Just now, Bu Ji only touched a drop and rolled around for a while. If I drink a whole bowl, won't I die?

The two struggled, “Don't come over, I won't drink, I won't drink! Don't come over! Ugh~.”

The Yellow Turban thugs, two against one, one pinched the nose and the other poured the pepper water. After a bowl, they quickly retreated. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's faces changed through various colors, and their bodies began to sway, causing the torture racks to rattle.

To Qin Feng, it looked like they were doing the breakdance, and as if they had taken a摇头药, he laughed, “Now, will you surrender?”

Bounce, bounce, bounce, the suspended Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, with white eyes and tongues out, continuously "danced."
