Chapter Thirty: Gao Shun

  Zhao Yun saw the big Han coming, and found that this man's scarlet eyes were full of hatred. He was vigilant and secretly thought: "My brother is indeed different from others, generous and righteous. If it were an ordinary person who met such a rough and imposing man, they wouldn't even dare to invite him for a drink, let alone be scared out of their wits."

  Three people sat down, and wine was also served.

  Actually, Qin Feng was also afraid when he saw the big man's eyes, but thinking of Zhao Zilong sitting beside him, he wasn't afraid anymore. Thinking that in today's world, unless the war god Lü Bu bursts in, otherwise, who would I be afraid of? Hmm, it seems that having a few brave generals by one's side is a must-have thing.

  He personally poured wine for the big man and raised his cup, saying: "Although it's a fleeting encounter, we are also destined to meet. Brother, please drink freely, I invite you."

  Da Han's eyes flashed with a hint of gratitude, he raised his wine cup and then hesitated before putting it down again, saying: "Ashamed, I'm not good at drinking."

  Qin Feng almost spat out the wine in his mouth, thinking to himself: "You can't even drink and yet you're urging me to hurry up? It seems that this person is also someone who has fallen on hard times. He must be troubled by something and wants to drown his sorrows with wine." Qin Feng sat down and said: "Brother, it seems like you have a secret that's hard to speak of, but feel free to share if you'd like. If I can help in any way, I'll definitely do my best!"

  In his opinion, if it were Song Jiang, it would definitely be like this. Qin Feng is just learning from Song Jiang to make friends with heroes from all sides, and when the reputation spreads far and wide, will famous ministers and brave generals come to surrender?

  Brother Mo Fei is actually Luoyang's timely rain, Qin Zi Jin! Please accept my younger brother's bow. Hehe......, Qin Feng thought of this and secretly rejoiced in the dark.

  Zhao Yun's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Feng's words, and he felt that he had not misjudged the person. The brother he knew was indeed a man of unparalleled kindness and righteousness, and it was truly a blessing to befriend him for three lifetimes. Zhao Yun saw Qin Feng go all out to help a stranger, and he really admired him with all his heart.

  "Ah, never mind. I'm grateful to both of you brothers, Gao Yi. One day I'll definitely repay your kindness." After finishing speaking, Gao Shun picked up the food on the table and started eating voraciously. At the same time, he thought: Once I've eaten my fill and have some energy, I'll go rescue my wife. It's just that I don't know if I'll have the chance to repay these two men.

  Gao Shun followed Lü Bu to the south and north, with over 700 men under his command, known as the "Thousand Men". Their armor and weapons were of high quality, they strictly adhered to military discipline and their formation was neat. They were very brave in battle. Every time Gao Shun led his troops to attack the enemy's camp, he won every battle, so Gao Shun's troops had the reputation of "invincible camp".

  "Gao Shun, you are Gao Shun, Gao..." Qin Feng was stunned and stopped abruptly. Among the three kingdoms, there were not many fierce generals who did not leave behind any writings, and Gao Shun happened to be one of them.

  "Older brother?" Zhao Yun thought Qin Feng was acquainted with Gao Shun.

  Gao Shun put down his food and said in a puzzled tone: "Huh? Brother, you know me?"

  "Oh, during my travels, I heard your great name from the soldiers in the north." Qin Feng had to start making things up, thinking that Gao Shun was able to train the strongest army of the Eastern Han dynasty, he must not have been an unknown person before.

  "Ah...... let bygones be bygones." Gao Shun shook his head and sighed.

  Zhao Yun sighed secretly: My elder brother is indeed extraordinary, having traveled to many places at a young age. I am not as good as him, from now on I will definitely learn from my elder brother and travel the world to broaden my horizons.

  It's really going smoothly! Qin Feng looked up at the top of his head, as if he saw a light circle. He thought to himself that today was indeed a lucky day, and he was worried about where to find a powerful general. Heaven first sent him an invincible and unparalleled general, and then sent him a genius who could train soldiers and command troops. Could it be that after crossing over, his luck really changed? Is heaven trying to let me contend for the world, so it would send these great people to me?

  Qin Feng deeply understood the importance of opportunity, and since heaven had given him a chance, he must seize it and take advantage of the momentum. He hastily composed himself, cupped his hands in respect and said: "Gao... Shun brother."

  "Haha, you're right, High Uncle." Gao Shun said with a forced smile.

  "Qin Feng Qin Zi Jin."

  "Zhao Yun Zhao Zi Long."

  Gao Shun is now 28 years old, much older than Qin Feng and Zhao Yun, who address him as an elder brother. After a round of drinking, Qin Feng took the initiative to attack and soon became familiar with Gao Shun.

  "Bo Da brother, if there's something on your mind, don't keep it to yourself, just say it. If I can be of use to my brother, I'll die for you a thousand times." Qin Feng said, taking the initiative to attack.

  "Gao Shun wanted to speak but hesitated."

  "You're so long-winded, you don't act like a man." Zhao Yun said angrily.

  Gao Shun took a deep breath, and in one swift motion, he downed the wine in front of him. Not being a good drinker, he coughed violently, his face immediately turning red. He sighed, "Shun's wife was taken by the mountain bandits at Woma Mountain..."

  Gao Shun left the army and lived with his wife in a mountain village dozens of miles away. Today, he returned home from hunting to find that the village had been raided by bandits, and his wife had been taken by the leader of the bandits. He chased after them all the way here, without eating or drinking for a whole day, and was so hungry and exhausted that he couldn't go any further, so he came into this inn, but unfortunately didn't have any money, where he coincidentally met Qin Feng.

  Qin Feng slammed his fist on the table and stood up before Zhao Yun, shouting loudly: "This is truly detestable to the extreme, completely disregarding the law!"

  Oh no! The shop assistant who was dozing off almost fell from the counter.

  Emboldened by the wine, Qin Feng said with a sense of justice: "Brother Boda, I will go up the mountain with you to kill the mountain bandits and rescue your wife!" As soon as he spoke, Qin Feng regretted it, thinking that this was going to get him killed! However, when he saw Zhao Yun beside him, his thoughts became more lively.

  Zhoa Yun also stood up, grasping his steel spear and saying: "I will go too!"

  Qin Feng felt relieved as soon as he heard this.

  Gao Shun's face showed his gratitude as he said, "We two have just met and you are willing to help me. I am deeply grateful. However, the villagers told me that there are 200-300 bandits on Sleeping Horse Mountain, so it may be more dangerous than auspicious..."

  "With only a few hundred men, my brother Zi Long's martial arts are superb and he is fearless. Let alone a few hundred people, even in an army of millions, taking the head of the commander would be as easy as reaching into his pocket!" Qin Feng lavished praise on Zhao Yun, eager to curry favor with him without spending any money.

  Gao Shun was shocked upon hearing this and took another good look at the young man with a fair complexion beside him, "I really didn't expect that Zilong had such martial arts skills."

  Zhao Yun's face turned red instantly, and he thought to himself, "Zi Jin brother, you're overpraising me too much." He hastily said, "Brother Zi Jin is mistaken, Zhao Yun doesn't have such abilities."

  That's not the time. Qin Feng smiled and said: "Boda brother, you can rest assured. With me and Zi Long helping you, your wife will definitely be safe."

  "Ah......" Gao Shun's grateful feelings could not be expressed in words.

  "It's getting late, the sky is darkening, just in time for our action to be polite. Zhou Shan, you bring the brothers here to rest and wait for my return. Bo Da brother, let's go now, I have horses here, we'll arrive soon." Qin Feng ordered.

  "Brother Zǐ is making progress!" Gāo Shùn was grateful and wanted to perform a grand ceremony.

  Qin Feng hastily supported him and said: "You call me brother, why bother with these mundane formalities. Hurry up and go, the earlier we leave, the more chances of safety."

  The three of them mounted their horses and left the village.

  Zhao Yun made a secret decision: Qin Ge was unparalleled in his benevolence and righteousness, and tonight when he killed the mountain bandits, he must protect his safety.

  Qin Feng said that Wu Dang's fierce general was in danger, and he hid behind Zi Long's back for a while. From then on, he was in the middle, and the three of them rode their horses together, leaving a trail of dust behind.

  After a short while, Woma Mountain was in sight. From afar, the mountain body stretched north and south like a lying horse.

  Tonight, a fierce battle is inevitable. Qin Feng is not afraid, but he also knows that he must go through some trials to make thorough preparations for the future. Hehe... if there's any situation, just hide behind my brother Zi Long, and Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops can kill him seven times out, let alone a hundred or so mountain bandits who will be captured easily.

  "Brother Qin Feng, I'll help you with whatever it is!" Zhao Yun said as he rushed forward. He was too embarrassed to tell Qin Feng to hide behind him.

  Qin Feng was deeply moved and delighted. Brother Zi Long truly understood his heart. In the future, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army would be none other than Zi Long himself.
