Chapter 9

"Mr. Zijin, you are our Xujiazhuang's great savior!" Xu Laodie, who was respected in the village, bowed repeatedly.

Xu Chu also bowed repeatedly, and his sister also curtsied repeatedly.

Qin Feng hurriedly helped Xu Laodie up, addressing the old man affectionately, then pulled Xu Chu up and patted his strong arm, making Xu Chu feel a surge of emotion throughout his body.

Cao Cao, who had walked over, seeing no chance to speak, suddenly noticed that Xu Chu's sister was particularly charming, and took the opportunity to go and help her up.

Seeing this, Qin Feng thought, "My Longwei General's sister can't be touched by you, this womanizer Cao." So, Qin Feng suddenly took the lead and helped the sister up, taking the opportunity to touch her hand, and couldn't help but think, "Don't look at Xu Chu being rough and tough, but his sister is really charming."

Xu's little sister blushed and lowered her head in shyness.

Cao Cao cursed inwardly, having been outmaneuvered by Qin Zijin. Just as he was about to say something to Xu Chu, Qin Feng went to help the villagers up, repeatedly saying, "All the villagers, please get up, please get up."

Qin Feng helped the elders up and picked up the children, showing genuine warmth and sincerity.

But talented people are usually proud and aloof, and wouldn't even think of physical contact with commoners, let alone getting close to them. Qin Feng's actions instantly bridged the gap between him and the villagers. The villagers felt, without any reason, that this was a true great sage, and thus felt a genuine closeness to him, surrounding him and escorting him into the village.

Cao Cao, the highest-ranking official, was left on the side by the villagers.

Cao Cao's face twitched for a moment, then he said to a deputy, "These commoners are too disrespectful. Today, I will give my brother Zijin a face."

The deputy nodded.

Cao Cao's face turned black, and he shouted, "What are you standing there for? Go set up camp! Are you going to rob the people's houses?"

"Understood!" The deputy hurriedly left.

Cao Cao watched the crowd disappear into the village and thought, "It seems I still have a lot to learn. This brother Zijin will surely be my good teacher and friend. For now, I'll wait until tomorrow morning to invite this brother to help me, and also that brave man named Xu Chu!"

...

Qin Feng, who had returned to the Eastern Han Dynasty, didn't expect to spend his first night at the home of his Longwei General.

Xu Chu's family was very grateful for Qin Feng's life-saving grace, and Qin Feng, without any airs, even helped cook and addressed Xu Chu's father as "old man."

Great sages are usually noble and aloof, and the people had never seen such a humble great sage, so they all felt close to Qin Feng.

It was late at night, and Qin Feng slept in the western thatched cottage.

In the main house, Xu Laodie and Xu Chu sat by the stove, while Xu's little sister took out Xu Chu's best clothes to mend and patch.

Xu Laodie said to Xu Chu, "Although I have no great abilities, my eyes can still discern people. I have never seen such a kind and noble person. If there is an opportunity, you must repay his life-saving grace." The old man looked at his son and said earnestly, "I know your thoughts. This noble person will surely achieve great things in the future. If there is an opportunity, follow him and venture out to build a career!"

Who is Xu Chu? He is a tiger enthusiast, one of the few great warriors in the world. Such a person, given the chance, would step onto the historical stage. Hearing this, he showed a thoughtful expression and then nodded heavily.

The next morning, the rooster crowed three times, and the sky brightened. Qin Feng, who had the habit of getting up early, opened the door drowsily and felt a cold breeze hit him, making him shiver. After rubbing his arms, he cursed inwardly, "March spring, this 184 AD spring is particularly cold."

Qin Feng came from the Maldives, where it was summer all year round, and wearing shorts, how could he not be cold?

This cold woke him up. He looked at his clothes and thought, "This outfit can only be kept as a memento. I can't wander around in shorts. I'll go find Xu Chu to borrow some clothes!"

At this moment, a silver bell-like laugh came. Qin Feng looked up and saw Xu's little sister standing there, holding a set of new clothes.

Qin Feng was overjoyed, thinking, "No wonder she is my Longwei General's sister, she knows how to care for me." When he took the clothes, Xu's little sister blushed, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and turned to leave.

Qin Feng shook his cheeks and thought, "I can't cause more trouble. I need to find my concubine."

A short while later, a tall and robust young man of the Eastern Han Dynasty walked out of the house.

Half an hour later, at the entrance of Xujiazhuang Village.

Cao Cao was about to leave.

Qin Feng bowed and said, "Wishing Brother Mengde great success in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion!" He knew that at this time, Cao Cao was determined to support the state and become a capable minister, but later, fate forced him to become a villain in troubled times, so he sighed.

Cao Cao, moved by the sincerity in Qin Feng's words, thought this was the best time to recruit Qin Feng. He approached and bowed deeply, saying sincerely, "Brother Zijin, I know you are a man who cares for the people. With the world in chaos and the Yellow Turbans rampant, the people are suffering. With your great talents, how can you sit idly by and watch the people suffer? I boldly ask you to come out of seclusion and help me. Together, we can suppress the Yellow Turbans and protect the country and the people! What do you think, Brother?"

Qin Feng didn't expect Cao Cao to recruit him. He carefully observed Cao Cao and could feel his sincerity.

Cao Cao, who was eagerly waiting for his answer, added, "Zijin, with your abilities, you will surely achieve great things in the battle against the Yellow Turbans. In the future, we can rise to the court together and do great things for the world!"

At this moment, Liu Bei, who was standing nearby, thought quickly and agreed with Cao Cao's view. Suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion was a great opportunity for fame, so Liu Bei hurriedly ended his travels and returned home.

But for Qin Feng, in his previous life, he and Cao Cao were about the same rank. In this life, Cao Cao was still a Cavalry Commander, but Qin Feng was just a commoner. In this situation, joining the campaign against the Yellow Turbans would mean following Cao Cao.

This would brand him with a deep, lifelong mark of Cao Cao. How could he achieve his great cause then? Who would his loyal ministers and brave generals follow?

Therefore, Qin Feng could not follow Cao Cao. At any time, he must strive for his great cause. At any time, his identity is only one: "the leader"!

"Wishing Brother Mengde great success in suppressing the Yellow Turbans!" Qin Feng bowed again, sincerely.

Suddenly, disappointment filled Cao Cao's heart. He knew he could never recruit this person. He couldn't help but wonder, "In the capital, how many people want to follow me to achieve fame and glory. Such a good opportunity, and he doesn't want it? What is he thinking? Does he have an even better opportunity?"

Liu Bei was shocked, thinking, "Is Qin Zijin crazy? Cao Mengde leads the Imperial Guards, representing the emperor on the battlefield. Will he not return with great military achievements? With the current emperor's character, he will surely boast about it!"

Qin Feng shook his head at Cao Cao, thinking, "One day, I will make these famous figures of the Three Kingdoms look at me with new eyes, and I will make the world tremble under my name, Qin Feng!"

Cao Cao also shook his head, forced another bow, and just as Qin Feng thought he was about to leave, he saw Cao Cao walk towards Xu Chu.

Qin Feng's heart sank, thinking, "Bad, this bastard failed to recruit me and is now going to recruit my Longwei General."

Sure enough, Cao Cao said sincerely to Xu Chu, "You are a brave man with a heart of courage. If you join the army, achieving fame and glory will be easy." He looked at Xu Laodie and Xu's little sister and added, "You can also ensure your family lives a good life, free from the suffering of the Yellow Turbans."

Cao Cao waved his hand, filled with passion, "Join me in the campaign, and do what a true man should do!"

When Xu Chu was moved, Qin Feng's hair stood on end, thinking, "This is bad, my Longwei General is about to fly away."
