Chapter 63: The Yellow Turbans Uprising

  "What! You say Qin Feng has been appointed as a Cavalry General?" Cai Yong in the Cai Manor was greatly shocked.

  "Master, it's all over Luoyang City that Qin Feng has been rewarded for capturing the rebels and has been appointed as a Riding General. Many officials from Luoyang City have gone to Yiyong Manor with gifts to congratulate him!" Steward Cai Lin hastily said. Cai Lin wiped his sweat and thought to himself, this Qin Feng is really something else, in just seven or eight months, he's gone from being a poor young man to having a family fortune of millions and becoming a high-ranking official!

  "Hmph, don't underestimate a poor young man. Swallows know nothing of the ambitions of swans... Wait until I, Qin Feng, become famous throughout the land... I will definitely come back to marry Wenji." Old man Cai Yong suddenly remembered Qin Feng's bold words from back then - no, his lofty aspirations! The two-year promise made with a slap on the palm, who would have thought that he actually did it? This means he'll really come to marry my daughter! "Hahahaha... indeed worthy of being my son-in-law, Cai Yong's son-in-law, already a riding general at such a young age, his future achievements will be boundless..."

  Housekeeper Cai Lin was sweating profusely at the sight, thinking to herself: Master, you didn't think highly of Qin Feng before, how did he suddenly become your son-in-law?!

  Cai Yong personally loved Qin Feng's talent, but when it came to thinking about his daughter, a father would never marry his precious daughter to a poor boy. But now it was different, Qin Feng had become a riding general, with a wealthy family and in harmony with his daughter. His daughter married him and went to enjoy happiness, so Cai Yong's thoughts changed. He smiled and said: "Go and prepare some gifts, send them to Qin Feng's villa, congratulate him on becoming a riding general..."

  "Yes!" Cai Lin was also overjoyed, having such a brother-in-law in the mansion was truly an exciting thing.

  "Miss, miss, good news has arrived! Good news has arrived!" Little Lan rushed in through the door, shouting with a fragrant sweat.

  "What good news is this?" asked Cai Wenji, who was embroidering a silk handkerchief and remained unmoved.

  "Your Majesty has decreed that Qin Xian is appointed as a Qi Lang Jiang, I heard it's a high-ranking official with a salary of one thousand dan..."

  "Really! Ah!" Cai Wenji's heart skipped a beat, the small needle in her hand pricked her finger, but she didn't mind, and exclaimed with surprise and joy: "I knew it, Mr. Qin will definitely... I'll write a letter, Lan'er, you help me send it out..."

  ……

  At this moment, Qin Feng's Yiyong Manor was bustling with cars outside and crowded with people inside.

  "Lord Qin, we villagers have nothing worthy of respect, so we've gathered some local products and hope you'll accept them with a smile..."

  "Please accept this gift, Mr. Qin..." The villagers from nearby villages of the Righteous and Brave Estate spontaneously organized to come and congratulate him. Most of them brought local specialties such as eggs, green vegetables, and game meat.

  Fame, oh fame, his dearest love. Seeing so many people coming to congratulate him, Qin Feng's heart felt delightful, thinking that in the future he wouldn't have a single worry. He thought that if it were a large group of famous ministers and generals, he would be set for life! Everything was for the sake of fame, so Qin Feng recalled the guidance of his drama teacher, put on a terrified expression, bowed deeply, and said: "Everyone's kind intentions I appreciate, but these things I absolutely cannot accept..."

  The master is indeed benevolent, look at these villagers, they all came to congratulate the master. Which wealthy family would have a joyful event and order these villagers to work for them? The villagers would secretly curse him behind his back, let alone give gifts. Gao Shun and Hu Che Er looked on from the side, feeling comforted that they could follow such a respected master.

  "Lord Qin, you must accept this. It's just a small token of our appreciation. If you don't accept it, how can we face the villagers when we return?"

  "This... is fine. Zhou Shan, today the Zhuang family will set up a grand banquet to entertain everyone, and also prepare gifts for them..." Qin Feng said helplessly.

  "Yes, sir!" Qin Feng's usual temperament was calm and collected, but he himself didn't know how many properties he had, only Zhou Shan knew, so he said loudly.

  "General Qin, I am Meng Jian, the Sima of the Beiguan Army's Zhonglei Camp. I have been sent by the Zhonglei Colonel to offer my congratulations on your promotion to Cavalry Lieutenant General..."

  "General, a certain household is the Northern Army's Garrison Cavalry Battalion Adjutant..., obeying the order of our household's Garrison Cavalry Commander..."

  "I am a Yuezhi cavalry commander subordinate to... (this commander is an official of 600 dan)...”

  "Hu Bīng Xiào Wèi's subordinate..."

  "Certainly is under the Feathered Forest Army Cavalry Commander..."

  Qin Feng took a look, these were all military officers of the same level as himself in Luoyang's territory, and would be colleagues from now on. He couldn't slack off, so he instructed Zhou Shan to take care of the villagers who came to congratulate them, and then went with these military officers to the main hall to chat. At this time, the strong men of the Yiyou Villa had already removed their heavy armor, and in the eyes of outsiders, they were just slightly more robust villa guards. Qin Feng deliberately kept it under wraps, and no outsider knew that Qin Feng had a powerful and extraordinary heavy armored cavalry at his disposal.

  Thus, the heroic villa was bustling for a day, with a grand flow of water seats, and all those who came to congratulate them had gifts to send. It wasn't until the next morning that people gradually dispersed. After these people left, they spread the word about the grand occasion at the heroic villa, and the good hospitality of Qin Feng, which invisibly brought some fame to Qin Feng, needless to say.

  "It has been over half a year since we parted ways, and every time I think of your face. Today, I heard the good news about you, and I am overjoyed... I wish you can achieve great things... Cai Yan will pray to heaven at all times, wishing you peace and safety... Although Cai Yan is deep in the boudoir, her heart is with you... I hope you can remember the past when we were together..., looking forward to the day when we can meet again..."

  Qin Feng gazed at the elegant small characters, as if he saw Cai Wenji's beautiful face. Thinking of the affectionate moments they spent together, he smiled like he had eaten honey, and muttered to himself: "Wenji, no matter when, I will never forget you..."

  "The letter has been received, and within a month, Qin Feng will definitely come to the door. At that time...". After finishing writing the reply, Qin Feng called Hu Che'er over and said: "Deliver this letter to Cai Yan's hands, remember that it is for Miss Cai Yan, no one else can see it. Also, go find Zhou Shan for me, prepare a big and thick gift for my future father-in-law..."

  "Yes!" Hei Da Ge Hu Che Er respectfully accepted it.

  The Yellow Turban Rebellion is about to begin. Qin Feng wishes for the white clouds and blue sky at the edge of the heavens, the imperial court's fast horse has already sent out, it should have reached Ji Province by now. Thinking to himself, Zhang Jiao, you'd better not get caught, I'm still waiting for you to be promoted and become rich.

  As Qin Feng had expected, Ma Yuanzhi was executed by being torn apart by carts last night. Throughout Luoyang, government soldiers were arresting and killing followers of the Taiping Way, implicating over a thousand people. An order was also issued to Jizhou to pursue Zhang Jue. Meanwhile, Zhang Jue sent out orders overnight to various provinces, commanding the governors to rise up in rebellion immediately.

  ……

  "Kill, kill, kill......" The two teams of iron cavalry collided with each other, and the shout of killing shook the sky. The vast earth was trembling under the majestic horse's hooves. On the horseback, the black-armored warriors wielded their wooden clubs fiercely towards their opponents.

  "Bo Da, take a shot from me!" A golden helmet and armor warrior was seen, with a large gun in his hand shaking out two gun flowers stabbing towards his opponent's chest and abdomen.

  The master also used these three moves, and Gao Shun would not let him. He saw the big knife in his hand chop down at a 45-degree angle.

  "Haha, Boda you've been deceived!" Just then, the warrior's large spear drew a strange circle, barely avoiding the split-opened big knife, and stabbed directly at Gao Shun's throat.

  Gao Shun was shocked, thinking that others shaking the long spear were either moving it up and down or swinging it left and right. The lord actually managed to draw a straight line, which was truly unbelievable. However, Gao Shun remained fearless in the face of danger, and with his large knife, he suddenly changed from chopping to thrusting, charging straight at Qin Feng's abdomen.

  Both are defeated! Qin Feng looked at the knife tip that had stopped at his abdomen and smiled slightly: "Boda, my spearhead arrived first, you're already dead..."

  "Master Taigong has arrived, and Gao Shun is not in time." Gao Shun hastily withdrew his large knife and glanced at the tall figure behind him. He thought to himself that if he had been late in withdrawing, the big black figure behind him would have dared to stab him with a pair of iron spears.

  Qin Feng was still quite pleased, anyway, finally managed to tie once, although it was just one of the hundreds of times, and lost all the other hundreds of times.

  "My lord, my lord......" A swift horse came galloping in a cloud of dust.

  "Halt!" Qin Feng shouted loudly, and the 500 iron cavalry immediately stopped their combat training.

  "Your Excellency!" The newcomer hastily dismounted his horse and exclaimed: "The Yellow Turbans have rebelled!"

  "The Yellow Turbans have rebelled! Ha......" Qin Feng almost burst out laughing, but he couldn't laugh, he should look solemn. He changed his expression and gazed at the young men below him. The Yellow Turbans had rebelled, an opportunity to test the effectiveness of the past year's efforts had arrived. "The Taiping Taoist teachings have ultimately led to rebellion... return to the village..."

  Rumbling... The earth shook as five hundred iron cavalry followed closely behind Qin Feng, leaving a trail of dust.

  The real carnage is about to begin……
