Chapter 56: Zi Jin Saves Me!

  Qin Feng saw Cao Cao hastily entering, his hair disheveled and half of his hairpins scattered, with a sweaty forehead in the early spring. There was even a footprint on his buttocks. He quickly got up and asked: "Brother Meng De, why are you so flustered?"

  "Hurry up and let's go! If we don't, all three of us will die here!" Cao Cao said, turning around and walking away.

  Qin Feng was extremely puzzled and looked at Yuan Shao. The two of them went out of the house, but only saw Cao Cao's figure jumping over the wall.

  "Seize the rapist and kill him!"

  "Dive for cover!" A figure flashed in the distance, and many people rushed over.

  "Something's wrong, Zi Jin, run quickly!" Yuan Shao instantly broke out in sweat and rushed towards the surrounding wall. This Cao Cao must have gone to play with someone else's new bride and got caught, this rustic village husband, where would he send any officials? He was beaten to death on the spot.

  Qin Feng somewhat understood, thinking that this old Cao was truly shameless, daring to flirt with the bride in broad daylight. You think you're now the great master controlling the north of the Yangtze River, but can't even control your own lust? Seeing both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao running away, Qin Feng had no choice but to follow them.

  Pong pong...

  Here is the translation:

  He's coming! Cao Cao saw that Qin Feng and Yuan Shao were both following, his heart relaxed a bit, and he loudly shouted: "Quickly run!" Good that they're following, diverting attention, I'll take the lead and be able to escape smoothly!

  Yuan Shao didn't say another word and chased after him, Qin Feng did the same. The three of them ran wildly all the way, soon they saw countless torches behind them, the sound of people shouting was deafening, it was clear that the entire village had been mobilized.

  "Two younger brothers hurry and run, these people do not understand etiquette, being caught will definitely be beaten to death on the spot." Yuan Shao was tall and majestic, chasing up to Cao Cao and shouting.

  "Brother, don't leave me behind!" Cao Cao exclaimed, seeing Qin Feng running ahead and himself falling behind, hastily grabbing his sleeve.

  "My goodness! Brother Meng De, look at the good deed you've done. How many beautiful ladies are in Luoyang City? How can you do such a thing here?" Qin Feng scolded.

  "Alas, it's all because of wine...". Cao Cao hastily explained with embarrassment.

  Today, when the lords gather to form an alliance, I will expose your affair. You'd better scram out of the city walls before that! Qin Feng thought this was a good leverage, something he could use to extort some funds from Cao in the future. He said, "At this moment, because of you, I won't blame you, considering our brotherly bond. But you should hurry up and run away, or else you'll be beaten to death!" Qin Feng swung his sleeve, instantly creating a distance of several body lengths between himself and Cao.

  "Brother Qin, my good brother, for the sake of our many years of friendship, pull me up!" Cao Cao shouted as he tried to catch up with Qin Feng's swift pace.

  "It's not that I don't want to be brothers, but it's just that my heart is willing but my strength is insufficient. Brother, you should still follow in my footsteps and get closer to me! Get closer to me!" Qin Feng secretly smiled to himself, for the sake of Dang Guo, he would pull his brother along! Is the commander-in-chief of the Nationalist Army at Maotian Ridge a relative of Cao Cao? (From the movie "South Conquering North".)

  "Wow!" Just then, a loud shout came from ahead, and the tall and majestic Yuan Shao suddenly disappeared!

  What! Qin Feng was shocked, where did this person go!

  "Ah, it hurts so much!" A loud cry suddenly woke Qin Feng up, he hastily stopped in his tracks and saw a large pit just one step ahead. It turned out that Yuan Shao had fallen into the pit, which was about three meters deep and one zhang (about 3.3 meters) square. He saw Yuan Shao crouching in the pit, crying out in pain!

  "What a close call! I almost fell in!" Qin Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

  At this time, Cao Cao also came up and saw this situation, he was also shocked. He hastily said: "Ben Chu brother, what's wrong with you?"

  "Ah, I'm going to die of pain, hurry up and pull me up!" Yan Shao cried out miserably.

  Qin Feng and Cao Cao exchanged a glance, then Qin said: "You hold onto me, I'll reach out and grab him."

  "Good!" Cao Cao rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his short and stout arm like a pestle.

  Just then, torches in the distance drew near and voices grew louder, "They've stopped, everyone make an effort, catch them."

  "Beat these rascals to death and let them know the ferocity of our Zhu Family Village!" The figure slowly approached.

  Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then without saying another word, he dodged the big pit and ran forward, disappearing into the darkness in an instant. Qin Feng was shocked, thinking that Old Cao indeed lived up to his reputation as cunning, having escaped on his own.

  "Son, advance and rescue me!" Yuan Shao exclaimed in extreme anxiety.

  "Ben Chu, it's not that I don't want to save you as a brother, but Cao Cao is really too much. It's just that the pit is too deep. Besides, Cao Cao has already abandoned you." Qin Feng said hastily.

  "What! The treacherous Cao Mengde, I treated you like a brother. How hateful! If I don't avenge this in the future, I, Yuan Shao, will not be human!" Yuan Shao shouted, jumping up and down.

  Huh! Could it be that from this moment on, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao started to not see eye-to-eye? Qin Feng saw the resentful gaze of Yuan Shao in the pit and had a wicked thought. He thought, don't mention revenge for now, first get through this current crisis. Playing with someone's bride has consequences, measuring others by oneself, Qin Feng absolutely wouldn't risk his own life, without Cao Cao, he alone would find it difficult to rescue Yuan Shao, so he stood up.

  "Zi Jin, Zi Jin save me, Zi Jin save me! Can't abandon me like this......" Yuan Shao was terrified and uneasy at the sight. If Qin Feng also left, he would definitely die here. He still had to inherit the Yuan family's legacy, the ideal of five generations and four dukes, and absolutely could not let that little brat Yuan Shu have it easy!

  "Ben Chu brother, I am also helpless...". Qin Feng saw that the torch was approaching and had a plan to leave first.

  "Zi Jin, save me! Zi Jin, you are the most righteous and benevolent, you are Xiao Meng Chao, please save me!" Yuan Shao leaned against the wall of the pit, almost bursting into tears. He thought to himself, how unlucky he was to follow this shameless Cao Mengde into these deep mountains and old forests, only to fall into a pit! Even if they didn't kill him, just spreading the news would make it impossible for him to inherit his family's legacy with dignity, it would be better to die! "Zi Jin, save me!" Yuan Shao wailed loudly in the pit, thinking of his dire situation.

  "Right there, hurry up, can't let them get away!" In the blink of an eye, a group of people had already surrounded them tens of meters away.

  Qin Feng was shocked and thought to himself, "I don't even have time to save you." He too was intimidated by the angry faces illuminated by the torches, thinking that if they were caught, he would be beaten to death without distinction. So he quickly said, "Brother Benchu, hold on a bit, I'll go ahead and find something to pull you up."

  "Son, you must save me! In the future, when I inherit the family business, I will definitely repay you, repay you!"Yuan Shao saw that Qin Feng was gone and was so scared that he shrank into a hole to avoid being discovered, putting all his hopes on Qin Feng. At the same time, he hated Cao Cao with a burning passion, wishing he could eat his flesh and drink his blood."Cao Mengde, one day you will get what's coming to you!"

  At this time, Qin Feng had already run into the front forest and hid behind a tree to observe the movement outside.

  "Right ahead, huh? Where did it go?"

  "Here, here, in the hole!"

  "Little kid, you think hiding in a hole can deceive us? Brothers, pull him up!"

  "Beat him to death, beat him to death, kill him for me!" The groom's face was already distorted. Yes, who wouldn't be furious when they see their bride being molested by someone else? He raised the hoe in his hand and threw it in, "Pull him up, beat him to death, beat him to death!"

  "Ah!" Yuan Shao had nowhere to hide, and was struck on the head by a hoe right then and there. In an instant, he became dizzy. Thinking that he would surely die, he cried out in pain: "My four generations of three dukes' titles, my four generations of three dukes' ideals..."

  "Even if you're the emperor, I'll still kill you!" The groom snatched a hoe and threw it again, shouting: "Kill him, bury him in the pit!"

  "Help!"

  Yuan Shao's loud and mournful cry made Qin Feng, who was hiding behind a nearby tree, feel a sudden palpitation. As he watched the villagers beating Yuan Shao to death, he thought: should I rescue him or not? If I rescue him, these villagers might lose their minds and kill me too! But if I don't rescue him, history will change - without Yuan Shao, there would be no He Jin being killed by eunuchs, no Dong Zhuo's tyranny, no warlords carving up the land. As soon as history changes, my own plan to control the trend of history and rise with the tide will come to nothing!

  Qin Feng hesitated.
