Chapter 152 The Yellow Turban Rebellion Begins (1/2)
Chapter 152 – The Yellow Turban Rebellion Begins
”By the way, young master Tong, who is this girl? Is she your wife's bodyguard?”
Sima Fang pointed at Dong Bai, who had transformed into her adult form.
Everybody in the hall, including guards, gazed at Dong Bai's adult form in admiration. Some of them planned to ask her hand in marriage after this.
Dong Bai smiled at Sima Fang and bowed.
”My name is Xiao Wu. I'm currently working as lady Hua's bodyguard, and I'm also serving young master Zhang's as his chambermaid. Please forgive me for my late introduction.”
Tong and Hua Shi looked at Dong Bai with a weird complexion. They were puzzled of why she had to lie. Most importantly, why did she had to introduce herself as Tong's concubine?
Dong Bai detected the stares around her, she texted in the clan chat.
”Father-in-law, Qi Wu is me, Dong Bai. I don't want to attract unnecessary attention, so please vouch for my identity, please.”
Zhang Jiao noticed the message from the clan chat. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
”What? How?”
”I'll explain later. Please introduce me to everyone as Tong's concubine, please.”
”Why Tong's concubine?”
”If we don't do this, I'll get proposed by god knows how many starving men in here.”
The corner of Tong's eyes twitched after he read the latest message of Dong Bai. He darted his eyes around the room and spotted my flushed face officials and soldiers in the hall.
A threatening feeling dwelled in Tong's heart. He did not want anyone to have a weird idea on Friday.
Tong coughed and spoke. ”Father, sir Sima, I'm sorry for the late introduction. This girl is Xiao Wu. She's my new chambermaid and my wife's bodyguard. Xiao Wu will be working for us from now on.”
Zhang Jiao laughed and nodded. He also played along.
”Ah, I heard that you picked up a jewel from Ganling. So it is her, right?”
Tong nodded. ”Yes, father.”
Meanwhile, many officials and soldiers sighed in disappointment. Such a valiant woman was rare. Her body and her breast size were unique as well. They felt pity that they could not find her before Tong did.
Zhang Jiao clapped to get everyone's attention. The matter about Dong Bai was put aside, it was time to think about their future.
”To be honest, I have never thought that the Imperial Court can sink this low. Framing us for a conspiracy? Well, I have to admit that they are half-right. But all of a sudden, they want to kill me and my entire family? This is where they cross the line!”
Zhang Jiao decided, he took a deep breath spoke out with determination.
”We will be no longer keeping our masks on anymore. From this day one, we shall announce our existence of the Immortal Yellow Turban Society to the land. We shall put on yellow clothes and raise our banners. We shall shout our slogans and remind our people … that the Han is dead!”
”THE HAN IS DEAD!”
”THE HAN IS DEAD!”
The Illuminati members got riled up by Zhang Jiao. They shouted and cheered with excitement that the time had finally arrived. They would go out and spread words in the open that they were parts of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. With the rise of a new kingdom, new positions in the court would be available. Achievements could be gained from this struggling for power against the Han. New heroes would rise from the battlefields.
Countless opportunities awaited them in this chaos.
Though small in numbers, a few new minor officials gazed at the crazy crowd with ambition. They wanted to rise to the top of the food chain too. Thus, they joined in the wagons of the rebels.
…
At the side, Tong helped soldiers cleaning up the mess in the hall, ignoring the crazy bandwagons of lunatics. He shook his head and sighed.
'The timeline is not accurate to the true history. But it still happens nonetheless.'
'All my life for 17 years, I've been waiting for this moment.'
'I can finally finish this goddamn long quest!'

It was the very first mission that he received from the system. It was with him since the first year of his birth.
It was not long that the system sound rang in his head.
<you have=”” completed=”” your=”” main=”” mission=”” no.1=””>>
<you have=”” gained=”” 1,000=”” lifespans=””>>
<all of=”” your=”” skill=”” has=”” gained=”” a=”” portion=”” of=”” exp=””>>
The reward meant nothing to Tong at his current status. However, clearing away all his the old quests was more important.
Now, Tong had cleared 19 of 19 main quests. He should be able to accept the last main mission of this trial.
'Finally, one more mission and there will be no more forced quest.'
However, the main quest generation button was still unavailable. Tong breathed out a heavy sigh in half-relief. It appeared that not everyone had completed all 19 main quests yet.
While Tong was preoccupying himself with the missions and his future plans, Zhang Jiao made another announcement.
”From this day on, I shall be known as [The General of Heaven]. My second brother, Zhang Bao, will be known as [The General of Land]. My third brother, Zhang Liang, will be known as [The General of People].”
