Chapter 61

Qin Feng discovered that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were unbending in the face of might, which wouldn't do. He had to make them surrender, and also to gain the trust of the Yellow Turbans. So he racked his brains and devised many cruel tortures that didn't exist at the time and wouldn't kill them.

Cao Erhei and Yuan Datou became the test subjects, being tormented daily until they were dazed.

When Qin Feng brought Chu Feiyu to the Ying River to enjoy the scenery, he also brought Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

"Attention, release!"

They saw the Yellow Turban villains set up a high wooden post on the riverbank as a lever, binding Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's feet with ropes. When they were lowered, their heads went underwater, and just before they drowned, they were pulled out, head down and feet up, so they could spit out the water without any help.

Qin Feng named this torture "near-death."

"Making people constantly face the brink of death, their minds will break, and they will do anything you say," Bu Ji recorded Qin Feng's words. He felt he had learned another trick, put away the bamboo slips, and shouted, "Release!"

"Release!"

"Release again!"

"Ugh!"

"I'm going to drown!"

"I'm dead!"

"Will you surrender?" Bu Ji shouted.

Cao Cao saw Qin Feng's figure not far away, holding a beautiful woman, whispering sweet nothings. Cao Cao was furious, "Drown me, I won't surrender!"

Yuan Shao also cursed, "Cao Mengde, is this the unmatched benevolence and righteousness of Qin Zijin that you mentioned? Pah! Even if I die and become a ghost, I won't let him off!"

The next day, Qin Feng found Chu Feiyu to go fishing. The two sat side by side, fishing intimately, silent but full of affection.

Behind them, a hundred steps away, only two heads were visible above the ground, one particularly black, the other particularly large. They were Cao Erhei and Yuan Datou.

Yuan Datou felt he was truly a victim, having enjoyed good fortune in the capital but coming to the front lines out of boredom, only to be captured.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were buried in the ground, only their heads exposed. The Yellow Turban soldiers picked up stones and dropped them freely, aiming at their heads.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao held their breath and felt dizzy, thinking they were about to die.

Bu Ji, having recorded this torture, saw that the two were losing consciousness and took the opportunity to say, "Surrender! Great glory and wealth await you!"

"Fine..." Yuan Shao muttered. Cao Cao, on the other hand, was suddenly alert, his eyes wide open, and the first thing he saw was Qin Feng holding Chu Feiyu, his despicable hands roaming and climbing.

Cao Cao had never seen such a despicable, shameless, and cruel person in his life, torturing people while playing with a woman. Even though Cao Cao had played around a lot in his life, he felt he couldn't match him. He couldn't swallow his anger and shouted, "Despicable He Shan, Qin Zijin, I will never surrender!"

Qin Feng, hearing this, was unmoved and instead took the beauty into the reeds.

"Ugh!" Cao Erhei, seeing this, felt he was the most unfortunate person in the world. He thought, "In the past, I was the one holding the beauty, but why do I become so unlucky when I meet Qin Zijin? No, He Shan, this beast!"

Yuan Datou shouted, "He tortures us while playing with a beauty. I, Yuan Benchu, have seen despicable people before, but never anyone as despicable as this!"

While Qin Feng was torturing Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, his relationship with his wife improved. As for Chu Feiyu, seeing Cao Cao being tortured, she thought that these officials were already being lenient by not killing them. Therefore, she didn't blame Qin Feng for being cruel and instead shared his enmity.

Qin Feng also visited Chu Feiyu every night, sending flowers and being romantic. These ancient women couldn't resist such modern courtship, and soon, Chu Feiyu fell for him again. Thus, their relationship deepened.

Three days later, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao still hadn't surrendered, and Qin Feng was very pleased.

But Bu Ji was not. He said, "General, your tortures are unique, the only ones I have ever seen. But these two are as stubborn as dead pigs in boiling water. Not being able to subdue them will be hard to explain to the leader." Seeing that Qin Feng had tortured Cao Cao and Yuan Shao more than he had, he already believed Qin Feng was one of them. If he were an official, he wouldn't have so many vicious tricks to harm Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Qin Feng glanced at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were now more disfigured than ever, but they held their breath and remained defiant. They looked at each other, their bleeding mouths splitting open, and shouted, "Qin Zijin, no, He Shan, you have no more tricks? Hahahaha..."

"Beat us to death, we won't surrender!"

They found "fun" in never surrendering, seeing Qin Feng's helplessness as the greatest pleasure.

Bu Ji was furious, "Beat them harder!"

Crack! "Ouch, beat me to death, I won't surrender, hahaha!"

Seeing that Cao Erhei and Yuan Datou could still laugh, Bu Ji suddenly realized and urgently said, "General, these two have endured all the most vicious tortures you invented and are no longer afraid of any torture. What should we do?"

Qin Feng, seeing that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still smug despite being disfigured, originally planned to start rescuing them. Now he changed his mind, thinking, "Mengde, Mengde, I left you a way out, but you look down on me. I have no choice but to use my ultimate move."

When Qin Feng's left corner of his mouth curled up, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao stopped laughing and showed signs of fear. Cao Cao urgently said, "Not good, when Qin Zijin's left corner of his mouth curls up, he has something evil in mind. We must be careful and hold on!"

Yuan Shao said, "Mengde, what Qin Zijin? That's an alias. His real name is He Shan. No matter what vicious tricks he uses, I won't be afraid!"

Qin Feng then said to Bu Ji, "The most vicious and cruel torture in the world is not to cause pain, but to lash the soul, directly destroying it!"

Bu Ji was shocked and quickly took out the bamboo slips to record Qin Feng's words. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "What the general said is so true! Destroying the soul is profound!"

"Too despicable!" Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke out in a cold sweat, not knowing how Qin Feng would destroy their souls.

Bu Ji urgently asked, "General, how do you destroy a person's soul?"

Qin Feng smiled, "To be precise, a man's soul. We will do this... and this..."

Bu Ji shuddered and instinctively covered his crotch, trembling, "Indeed, for a man, this is the most vicious and cruel torture in the world!" He couldn't help but admire Qin Feng, bowed, and said, "The general's cruel tortures will surely be passed down through the ages and revered as the ancestor of executioners!"

Qin Feng, hearing this, also shuddered, thinking, "Ruined, how did I become the ancestor of executioners? What a bad reputation."

But the arrow was on the string, and it had to be released.

Cao Erhei and Yuan Datou were terrified, "What is the most vicious and cruel torture in the world?"
