If there was anyone in the entire Han Dynasty most excited after the Yellow Turban rebels marched out, it would undoubtedly be Qin Feng!
Listening to the intelligence from the scout before him, Qin Feng's mouth could barely close.
"Damn it?"
"Could it be... could it be that I'm about to witness history being rewritten?"
"The Yellow Turbans are already nearing Hulao Pass, and the various feudal lords have entered Sili..."
"A rehash of the Battle of Hulao Pass?"
The more he thought about it, the more excited Qin Feng became. He suddenly patted the thigh of the beautiful woman beside him!
"No way!"
"How can I miss such a rare, once-in-a-millennium spectacle?"
"???"
Zhang Xuan, who was startled by the pat, looked at Qin Feng speechlessly.
"Husband, you can be excited, but can you not use so much force?"
"Uh?"
Qin Feng, snapping back to reality, looked astonished and noticed that Zhang Xuan's thigh had already turned red from his slap!
"Cough cough... well..."
Qin Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose and shifted the topic somewhat stiffly, asking, "Are those few girls settled in?"
"Mm-hmm~!"
Seeing Qin Feng mention his daughters, Zhang Xuan also felt a little guilty.
"Husband, I'm sorry, Xuan'er didn't get your permission first..."
"It's alright!"
Qin Feng waved his hand dismissively upon hearing this, smiling lightly, "It's just a few more mouths to feed, what's the big deal?"
"Right!"
"I might have to go out in a couple of days, so I'll leave the household matters to you!"
"Ah?"
Thinking of Qin Feng's earlier mutterings, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but worry.
She wanted to persuade Qin Feng not to go, but she didn't dare. In the end, she could only instruct with a hint of concern, "Husband, there's fighting everywhere outside, please be careful on the road!"
"Don't worry!"
Qin Feng smiled confidently, his tone completely unreserved, "There are many people in this world who want my life, but none of them can succeed!"
"What's more..."
"Am I going out alone? The army is always following!"
"That's good~!"
Hearing Qin Feng say this, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile reappeared on her pretty face.
She was truly worried about Qin Feng's safety!
After all,
Who wouldn't want to find a strong backer and then immediately have to flee for their lives?
If anything were to happen to Qin Feng, let alone the people in the Prefectural Office.
Would the Zhen family let her go?
Impossible!
Therefore,
She could only hope and pray that Qin Feng would live a long life, thus protecting her and her daughter's safety!
Just as Zhang Xuan was lost in thought, she suddenly felt something was amiss.
"Huh?"
Looking down at the "Claw of An Lushan" on her chest, Zhang Xuan's pretty face blushed slightly, and she playfully chided, "Husband, it's still broad daylight... hmm?"
"Haha~!"
After kissing the beauty on his side, Qin Feng stood up with his eyes narrowed and said, "This Prefect is going to be away for a long time, I must comfort you first!"
"Let's go!"
"Today, this Prefect will see no one and will spend the entire day with you wholeheartedly!"
"Hiss~!"
Hearing Qin Feng say this, Zhang Xuan not only didn't feel happy, but her pretty face turned pale, "H-husband, stop joking, people will die, they really will die..."
"Mmm..."
"Don't, don't..."
"I..."
...
Qin Feng had always had one virtue: he always did what he said.
Since he said it would be a whole day, he wouldn't stop halfway.
The next day,
In the afternoon,
Qin Feng, slightly sore, walked out of the side courtyard, rubbing his lower back.
Inside the room,
Two figures with tear-filled eyes leaned against each other, seemingly recounting their misfortunes.
"Hmph~!"
Seeing Qin Feng emerge, Yang Yanqi's pretty face turned cold, and she pretended to disdainfully turn her head away.
"Oh?"
Qin Feng, knowing that this girl was sulking, deliberately leaned closer and whispered, "Who is this wild girl? Don't you know to greet the Prefect when you see him?"
"You..."
Having overheard everything all night, Yang Yanqi bit her teeth lightly and said hatefully, "Husband, husband, husband... Is that good enough?"
"Not quite!"
Qin Feng smiled and smacked his lips, shaking his head regretfully, "I originally wanted to take someone to Luoyang, but it seems I'll have to go alone!"
"To Luoyang?"
Although she knew this was Qin Feng's bait, Yang Yanqi still took the hook without hesitation.
"Husband... husband... please take me with you..."
"Hiss~!"
Hearing the usually tomboyish Yang Yanqi act spoiled, Qin Feng couldn't help but shiver.
"Alright, alright..."
"Stop calling!"
"Go pack your things quickly, we'll set off tonight!"
"Ah?"
Although she was also eager to depart, Yang Yanqi frowned at Qin Feng's arrangements, "My Lord, the army hasn't even started mobilizing yet, how can we leave so soon?"
"No matter!"
Qin Feng waved his hand carelessly, a confident smile on his face.
"I've already made arrangements with the army, we'll just go and meet up with them!"
"Is that so?"
Despite still having some doubts, Yang Yanqi had no choice but to agree since Qin Feng had said so.
"Then I'll go pack my things. When will we be leaving?"
"The sooner, the better!"
Qin Feng looked up at the sky and waved his hand with a smile, "If you're fast enough, we can spend the night in Fanyang tonight!"
"Otherwise... we'll have to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks in the wilderness!"
"???"
"Wild... wilderness?!"
Thinking of Qin Feng's carefree nature, Yang Yanqi's pretty face inexplicably flushed.
Although she was usually bold and liked to try new things in bed,
The wilderness...
She was scared!
Truly scared!
Shivering, Yang Yanqi hurried towards her boudoir.
...
Liaodong,
Xuantu Commandery,
Houcheng.
This formerly peaceful small town was now engulfed in smoke and flames.
The Goguryeo cavalry, who had been plundering all the way, were now swaggering through the streets of Houcheng, wanting to grab anything they saw.
Some men and elderly people who couldn't hide in time were directly cut down.
As for the women, despite their best efforts to escape, they were still captured...
"Damn it~!"
"These barbarians... deserve to die!"
A boy of about ten years old, hiding in the shadows, bravely picked up a wooden stick!
This was the best weapon he could find!
Seeing the foreign cavalry tear off the thin clothing of a woman, the boy could no longer suppress the rage in his heart.
"Die for me!"
"Bang!"
With all his might, he swung the club, hitting the foreign cavalryman's head fiercely.
Unfortunately,
Neither the power of the wooden club nor his strength was enough to be fatal.
The foreign cavalryman, inexplicably struck, became ferocious and brandished his saber, intending to charge at the boy.
"Go!"
"Hurry and go!"
The woman, who had been full of despair moments ago, now found courage from nowhere and desperately hugged the foreign cavalryman's thigh.
"Go quickly, go report to the officials, go find... find the soldiers..."
