Chapter 133 Rescue Operation (2/2)
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.”
