In the large tent, Zhang Yan's refusal to proceed with the wedding frightened Qin Feng to death.
If it were during the reign of the Great Emperor Hongwu, Zhang Yan would certainly be kneeling, presenting himself.
But now, it's different. Qin Feng has not yet reached such a high status, and whether he can achieve it in the future depends on how he manages things. It's not impossible that a moment of carelessness could lead to his death.
Therefore, Qin Feng has always been striving hard and being extremely cautious. It's not an exaggeration to say that he has been walking on thin ice with certain matters.
However, at this moment, with Zhang Yan's words, Qin Feng felt a surge of anger.
Zhang Yan, with the demeanor of a brother-in-law, said, "Heshan, my sister said that everything will be arranged according to my wishes."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng's eyes twitched. He thought, "What do you mean? You're not agreeing, right? If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless. I might have to deal with you, this troublesome brother-in-law, first before I can marry my wife." However, he was only momentarily angry. Zhang Yan cannot be killed, not because he is afraid to kill, but because if he were to kill Zhang Yan, he would probably never have the chance to marry his wife.
Qin Feng's smile vanished, and he said calmly, "General Zhang, what are your conditions?"
Seeing Qin Feng's displeased expression, although Zhang Yan was of a higher rank, he was also nervous and said, "Calm down, calm down. I am doing this for my sister's good. My idea is to hold the wedding in Luoyang after we advance into the city, a grand wedding!"
Zhang Yan pointed at the simple tent and said earnestly, "Heshan, if you truly love my sister, would you rather give her a grand wedding or hastily consummate the marriage in this simple place?"
"Ah..." Qin Feng slapped his head, speechless. How could he not want to give his wife a grand wedding? However, at this moment, if the matter is not settled now, once his identity is exposed, it might...
Seeing Qin Feng at a loss for words, Zhang Yan gradually became angry and said, "Heshan, I am willing to marry my sister to you, but as you can see, we are in the midst of a critical battle with the imperial army. Not to mention that the two leaders would not agree. Even if they did, there has never been a wedding in a military camp. What kind of situation would that be? This is the most important event in my sister's life. How can we let her suffer? If you do not agree to the wedding in the city, then you do not truly love my sister. You are just sweet-talking and only interested in her appearance."
Zhang Yan, enraged, said, "If that's the case, I, Zhang Yan, would rather die than marry my sister to you."
"Phew..." Qin Feng took a deep breath. He knew that a wedding in the military camp was indeed unrealistic. He thought for a moment and said, "General Zhang, you misunderstood. I am sincere with Feiyu. This is the most important event in her life. How could I be so careless?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yan's expression improved, and he said, "If you understand, I agree to the marriage, and my sister also agrees. We will hold the wedding when we enter the city after victory."
Qin Feng thought, "Don't talk nonsense. You won't be able to enter Luoyang." In fact, Qin Feng could make the Yellow Turbans enter Luoyang if he wanted to. However, he knew that the Yellow Turbans must fail.
Therefore, to prepare for the exposure of his identity, Qin Feng said, "General Zhang, how about this? We can hold an engagement ceremony first. The two leaders will be the witnesses, and we will exchange the marriage contract. In the future, no matter what happens in the war or any other events, my feelings for Feiyu will not change, and the marriage will remain the same. What do you think?"
Zhang Yan pondered for a moment and then laughed, "You, Heshan, are you afraid my sister won't want you?"
Qin Feng smiled awkwardly, thinking, "I'm not afraid she won't want me; I'm afraid she'll be scared away by me."
Zhang Yan lightly punched Qin Feng and, with the demeanor of a man helping another man, said, "Since that's the case, let's settle this. You come with me to find the two leaders. We will hold the ceremony tonight, exchange the marriage contract, and give you some peace of mind."
Qin Feng was overjoyed and felt that Zhang Yan was indeed the most adorable brother-in-law in the world. In fact, this precaution was mostly to prevent Zhang Yan from interfering with his marriage to Feiyu after his identity was exposed. As for Feiyu, Qin Feng believed that his wife would still love him even if his true identity was revealed.
That night, as the sky darkened, Zhang Bao's central tent became lively.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were the witnesses, Zhang Yan represented the bride, and Cao Cao represented the groom. Bo Cai, Peng Tuo, Bu Ji, and Yuan Shao were all guests.
That night, it was truly a grand occasion, with music and singing.
Cao Cao, as the representative, walked over, muttering to himself, "Poor flower, stuck on Qin Feces. The damned Qin Zijin even made me be the representative, clearly trying to make me angry."
Yuan Shao stood at the edge, hands in his sleeves, shoulders hunched, and whispered, "A major battle is about to begin. I, a descendant of a family with three generations of high officials, am witnessing Qin Zijin's engagement in the Yellow Turban's camp. Who would believe this if it were told?"
Yuan Shao felt that the world was unpredictable after meeting Qin Zijin. Seeing Qin Feng in a red robe, looking like a groom, he couldn't help but feel jealous, "To be able to marry in such a dangerous situation, only Qin Zijin in history has done this." His jealousy turned to malice, "Heh, Qin Zijin, you just keep messing around. When they find out you are a general of the imperial army and have killed countless Yellow Turbans, your wife will stab you in the middle of the night. If she can't kill you, she'll cut off your manhood, and you won't be able to handle it!"
At this moment, Yuan Shao heard an argument and saw Qin Feng starting to negotiate.
"We need to add a clause that, under any circumstances, General Zhang Yan cannot interfere with my marriage to Feiyu."
Zhang Yan was puzzled, "This is unnecessary. I won't oppose it."
But Qin Feng disagreed, "If that's the case, there's no harm in adding this clause to the marriage contract. If General Zhang Yan refuses to add it, it means he intends to interfere."
"Fine, fine, fine!" Zhang Yan waved his hands, feeling helpless, as he had no intention of interfering at all.
"Swear, swear to the Yellow Heaven!"
"Fine, fine, fine! Heshan, you are too cautious. What kind of person do you think I am? I said I won't, and I won't," Zhang Yan said helplessly.
Cao Cao, standing nearby, his eyes darting around, thought, "You won't interfere now, but if you find out Qin Zijin's true identity, you might draw your sword." He glanced at Qin Feng and thought, "Qin Zijin is truly cunning, pushing the brother-in-law into a difficult situation!"
However, Cao Cao also began to admire Qin Feng's prudence and thoroughness. By doing this, once Zhang Yan and his sister were captured, Zhang Yan, having sworn an oath, would no longer be bound by the Yellow Turbans. After Qin Feng married, he could release Zhang Yan, who would no longer be bound and would eventually become a harmonious family.
"Good, good..." Cao Cao couldn't help but say a few times. He was always willing to see a harmonious family, and in the future, he never harmed the families of his enemies, which showed his character.
In the middle of the night, the central tent was filled with the smell of alcohol.
"Hey, where is Qin... Zijin? Where is my... brother-in-law? I still want to drink with him!" Zhang Yan, with a slurred tongue, called out.
The room was full of guards, some pulling this one, some hugging that one. They were helping the generals who had fallen under the table and also admiring Qin Feng.
"General Heshan is amazing, he drank a whole group of people under the table."
"General, you have already slept. General Heshan left a long time ago!"
"Ah! How can Heshan drink so much?"
Zhang Yan and the others didn't know that Qin Feng, coming from the future, was well-tested by alcohol, especially strong alcohol. Therefore, drinking this 1800-year-old rice wine was like drinking water for him.
On the other hand, after drinking everyone to a stupor, Qin Feng went to find his wife.
Under the moonlight, on the grass, the lovers sat side by side, leaning on each other.
Qin Feng looked at the stars, "Feiyu, if one day, something bad happens, or..."
A pair of jade hands covered his mouth. Chu Feiyu's eyes were full of affection, "No matter what happens, Feiyu knows that you are her husband. No matter what happens, Feiyu will follow her husband for life..."
Qin Feng's eyes moistened. The love from two lifetimes made him unable to control himself. When he kissed her, she was warm and tender.
The love from two lifetimes made Qin Feng and his wife tightly embrace...
...
The next day, Qin Feng got up early and first carefully stored the marriage contracts of his three beloveds. "I have found three, how far are the others?" Qin Feng patted the marriage contracts in his chest and smiled.
During breakfast, Qin Feng began to ponder, "In a few days, General Huangfu's reinforcements will arrive. What method can I use to better coordinate inside and out?"
"Ouch, it's so hot!"
"This damned weather, it's already hot in the early morning!"
Qin Feng was thinking when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, complaining, walked in. Hearing their words, he suddenly had an idea, remembering the Battle of Changshe from the future. Although this life is different from the future, if he could apply it slightly, it might achieve the effect of the Battle of Changshe.
