Chapter 133
Chapter 133 – Rescue Operation
3 PM .
The morale of the townsmen elevated and their attitude toward Tong Army got better .
At this moment, Bo Cai and Gao Shun returned with a thousand young women behind them . As soon as the people in the refugee camp saw that the kidnapped people had returned, they burst into cheers .
Because of the hugs that Tong made his soldier did to the people, the Ganling citizens hugged the soldiers back in delight . A dozen of husband-hunting women also took this chance to hug good looking young soldiers and touched their bodies all over .
Zhao Yun ran away from the chasing widows and old women and hid behind Tong with a frightened expression as if he was the prey and he was being hunted . Fortunately, Tong’s bodyguards stopped the old cougars before Zhao Yun was violated .
A messenger from Zhang Liao also arrived .
"Reporting, Lord Zhang Liao has surrounded the village as instructed . Upon the initial observation, the bandits are staying in that village with a few hundreds of kidnapped young women . Lord Zhang Liao sent me here to ask for your advice . Should we assault the village right away or what should we do?"
Hearing that there were still many hostages in the hands of the bandits, Zhao Yun frowned in anger . He turned around to look at Tong, who was rechecking his radar map once again .
"My Lord?" The messenger was waiting for Tong’s instruction .
"How many bandits in the village again?"
"Umm . Roughly a thousand or two . "
Tong glanced at the messenger and smirked .
"FBI tactic . You know the drill . "
"Eh...? Ah! Understood, my lord!"
Zhao Yun glared at Tong . There were still kidnapped people inside the village . If they used the tactic again, the hostages might die .
Seeing the dissatisfaction face of Zhao Yun, Tong laughed .
"I think it’s time to show you what we, the immortal, can do . Feihong, gate please . "
Li Feihong, who was idle for all these times, tilted his head in puzzlement .
"Where to?"
"The village that we’re attacking . Let’s try our practiced assassin-gate tactic . While we are at it, we will rescue the girls from the village . And, let’s take Zhao Tian with us, too . "
"Huh? OK . "
...
3 . 50 PM
Tong, Li Feihong, and Zhao Yun were gazing at the monitors in the private world .
Li Feihong managed to gate travel to the side of the village without noticing Zhang Liao or alerting Zhang Yan . Tong ordered him to do so as he was cautious of the mysterious otherworlder .
As long as they were inside this private world, they could see the situation outside and could determine where or how to act based on the changing events .
Hundreds of the monitors were broadcasting the interiors of the buildings inside the target village as if they were the record screens from CCTV cameras .
With Li Feihong’s sorting and monitor arrangement, they managed to locate the hostages inside a new wooden building .
The young girl hostages were the best looking girls in the Ganling City . All of their clothes were stripped away, revealing their white skins . Traces of the sexual abuse could be seen which made Tong and Li Feihong felt nauseous .
"Are we late?" Li Feihong asked Tong .
"No . They are still alive . We’re not too late yet . "
"But... Their mind was pretty much broken . I doubt they can continue their normal life with this trauma . "
"Let’s worry about this later . We’ll save them first . "
"Right . "
Tong turned around to look at Zhao Yun .
At first, Zhao Yun was awestruck by the environment, unknown magic, monitors, and their identities as immortals . He came back to his sense after he saw the status of the violated townswomen inside the bandit village . He forgot about his embarrassment and shame as his level of anger went through the roof .
Tong tapped Zhao Yun’s shoulder to calm him down .
"The bandits will get what they deserve . For now, cool your head . I and Feihong will rescue them, so you can relax . "
Zhao Yun looked back at Tong . He knelt down and cupped his fist .
"Please allow me to fight alongside with you! I want to kill these scoundrels myself!"
Tong shook his head . "No . You stay here . "
"But sir! I can fight!"
Tong still shook his head . "Yes, you can fight . To be honest, you’re probably stronger than me . But I still can’t let you join the battle . "
"Then why?"
Zhao Yun stared into the eyes of Tong in dissatisfaction . He wanted to protest . At the same time, he wanted to leave Tong’s army to fight the bandits by himself .
"Do you want my honest opinion or do you want my white lie?" Tong asked .
"Honest opinion, please . "
"You are not qualified to fight alongside with my soldiers in this battlefield . "
"What!?"
Zhao Yun stood up as he flared up from Tong’s provocation . On the other hand, Tong gazed at Zhao Yun in a pity .
’He’s still too young and too immature . There’s a long road ahead of him before he can become the "Zhao Zilong" of the legend . The legendary Zhao Yun wouldn’t get provoked from this slight criticism . ’
"Then return me back to my city . I can fight alone without your help!"
Zhao Yun continued to glare at Tong in anger .
"It can’t be helped, then . "
Tong snapped his fingers at pointed at Zhao Yun’s feet .
"[Create Food], vegetable oil . "
Then he repeated what he had done to Lu Bu at Jinyang City .
"[Create Food], water!"
A jet-line of water slammed the face of Zhao Yun . The combination of the slippery oil and water threw Zhao Yun on the ground . He attempted to get up again, but he was hit by the water stream which made him lost balance and got pinned down on the floor .
"Feihong . Can you panned the camera on the brat?" Tong requested Li Feihong .
"I can . You want me to do it now?"
"Yes, please . "
One of the monitors showed Zhao Yun and Tong in it .
"Show it to Zhao Yun . "
"OK... wait, did you just say Zhao Yun!? Isn’t this dude Zhao Tian?"
"Don’t fret the small detail . Do it as I said . "
"Sure, sure ... Zhao Yun, eh?"
Despite the shock, Li Feihong did what Tong asked him to do . The monitor was placed on mid-air, right in front of the crawling Zhao Yun .
"Do you know why I said you are not qualified, Zhao Zilong?"
Zhao Yun jolted . He had never told anyone about his style name and his real name, yet Tong knew about it all . Then, the monitor caught his attention . It was showing his unsightly expression .
"Do you think the person in the monitor is calm and collect?"
"..." Zhao Yun did not answer .
"Do you think the person in the monitor can make the right judgment in the midst of a battle?"
"..."
"Do you think that a person who is blinded by anger can save the towns-girls?"
"..."
"If you were a commander of an army, let’s say a volunteer force of a hundred men, will you entrust an important task to an angry man?"
Zhao Yun’s body trembled . He gazed at himself in the monitor and shook his head in shame .
"You should have fought with someone with this kind of expression before . Do you think he can exert his full prowess with this mental state?"
Zhao Yun shook his head again .
"This is the reason why I said you are not qualified to participate in this battle . In my hometown, there was a saying . If you are frustrated, then you are stupid . If you are angry, then you are insane . And if you are mad, then you can’t consider yourself a human, but a beast . "
A chill ran down Zhao Yun’s spine . Tong’s philosophy stabbed his black heart . If he fought with his previous mental condition, he would have gotten himself killed .
He was insane and stupid as Tong had said .
"Remember my words . If you want to be a good soldier or a commander that everyone can look up to or rely on, you must never be swayed by your emotions . You must be calm . Your mind must be as serene as still water . Once you’ve achieved that mentality, your insight will expand . Your vision will broaden . And no enemy’s petty trick will be able to fool you!"
Li Feihong had a wry smile on his face as he observed and listened to Tong who was preaching for Zhao Yun . That philosophy was one of the proverbs in the modern day . Using it to attract this future legend was cheating, but Li Feihong could not complain because he had already boarded Tong’s pirate ship . They had to sail on this Yellow Turbans ship together til the end .
Meanwhile, Zhao Yun got goosebumps all over . He fell into a daze as his brain repeated Tong’s teaching over and over again .
Seeing that his brainwashing technique worked, Tong winked at Li Feihong .
"Leave him alone for the moment . Let’s save the girls first . Maybe I can scout a few wives for you . You haven’t had a girlfriend in this life yet, right?"
"Please stop bullying me, Tong . I don’t want a wife yet . "
. . .
4 . 10 PM .
A blue gate opened behind a dozing bandit inside the prison house where the kidnapped girls were locked up inside . Two hands came out of the gate with a dagger .
The dagger sliced the neck of the sleeping guard while the other hand covered his mouth . The two hands dragged the dead guard into the gate, then it was closed .
The gate reappeared again behind another dozing guard and repeated the same actions .
Two lookout guards were down . No bandit was inside the building .
Tong walked out of the blue gate . He gestured to every panicked girl to be quiet .
"I’m an immortal mystic . I’ve heard of your prayers, so I’ve come to help you . Now, get into this light gate, it will take you to the mystic realm . We’ll take you back to your family . "
Hearing that he came to help, the eyes of the girls brightened .
Tong cut off the ropes on them . The girls staggered into the gate one after another . After a few minutes, all prisoners were rescued . Tong also jumped back into the gate to escape .
Another gate appeared in another building . Tong did the same with the guards and the hostages . It took him 30 minutes to rescue all of the kidnapped girls, but the mission was successful .
Zhao Yun gazed at Tong and Li Feihong in awe . From the start to finish, he witnessed everything both of them had done .
’This is... the real immortal power?’
Behind Zhao Yun, hundreds of half-naked young girls and beautiful women huddled together in nervousness . However, the sight of greenery grasslands and farms in a distance soothed their heart . They managed to relax a little, but they were still embarrassed by the lack of clothes .
"All hostages have been rescued . What’s next?" Li Feihong asked Tong .
"We’ll help Zhang Liao and his men . For now, let’s inform Zhang Liao about the hostage situation first . "
