The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

A hundred miles away from Xuzhou, the defeated Yellow Turban rebels gathered here.

Zhang Niujiao, his face gloomy, drank alone in silence. He never expected that his adopted son's ingenious plan would be seen through. Not only was his adopted son trapped in Xuzhou, but his Yellow Turban followers were also crippled. How could he have ever encountered such a desolate scene?

"Commander..." Yu Du called out as he entered, looking at Zhang Niujiao and saying, "Actually, we still have one more chance to rescue the young commander..."

"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Zhang Niujiao shouted, his eyes red.

Yu Du stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhang Niujiao's ear, which made Zhang Niujiao nod repeatedly.

"What should we do? Pass the order down!"

"Yes!" Meanwhile, in Xuzhou, Xiu'er was escorting Mi Zhen back. On the way, Mi Zhen bit her lip and lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

"Sister Zhen'er... Sister Zhen'er?"

"Huh?" Mi Zhen finally realized what was happening and looked at Xiu'er with a panicked expression.

"...We've arrived at the Mi family's residence."

"Oh... Zhen'er wrote about her sister..." Mi Zhen seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Little sister!" At this moment, a young man walked out of the gate of the Mi family. He saw Mi Zhen and hurriedly said, "Oh dear sister, you have caused a great disaster... Big brother... this, this is..." He then noticed Xiu'er next to Mi Zhen and was so shocked that he could not finish his sentence.

Could there really be such a spirited woman in the world? Mi Fang stared straight at Xiu'er.

Mi Zhen shook her head helplessly and introduced, "Sister Xiu'er, this is my second brother..."

"My name is Mi Fang, also known as Zi Gongliang. May I ask who you are, young lady...?"

"My husband's surname is Jiang... My name is Xiu'er..."

"Husband...husband..." Mi Fang stared wide-eyed, her face full of regret.

"Alright, Second Brother!" Mi Zhen pushed Mi Fang, "Why are you always like this?"

"It's different..." Mi Fang quickly explained, "This time it's definitely different..."

Mi Zhen ignored Mi Fang and pulled Xiu'er into the Mi family home. "Sister, come sit in my room for a while. I don't think that wicked person will go home so early..."

"Hehe..." Xiu'er said, covering her mouth with a laugh, "Does Zhen'er really understand my husband? A-Zhe is quite different..."

"I..." Mi Zhen was speechless.

At this moment, Mi Fang, who was standing nearby, said, "Little sister... Big brother is throwing a tantrum inside..."

"Ah?" Mi Zhen's face paled with fear, and she quickly said, "Then, Sister Xiu'er, I won't keep you any longer. I'll visit your residence another day..."

Xiuer sighed inwardly and said softly, "That's very good. If Zhen'er has time, please come and keep your older sister company..."

Then she bowed to Mi Fang and gracefully left.

"So extraordinary..." Mi Fang sighed.

"She already has a husband, look at you!" Mi Zhen muttered as she went inside, knowing she was about to get another scolding from her older brother.

Looking at her departing sister, Mi Fang shook her head and chuckled softly, "Surname Jiang... Could it be him?"

When Xiuer returned home, her husband was already there, sighing about something. She walked over quietly.

"What a pity...what a pity..."

"What's a pity?" Xiu'er asked softly, her arm around Jiang Zhe's shoulder.

"Ah, Xiuer?" Jiang Zhe took Xiuer's hand in his and pulled her into his arms. "I was referring to Zhang Yan. I met him once, and he's quite a hero..."

"My lord..." Xiu'er said solemnly, "You must not let personal matters interfere with public duty..."

"Of course I know that!" Jiang Zhe said, holding Xiu'er. "I wonder how Lord Tao plans to deal with Zhang Yan... Sigh... Never mind, never mind..." He glanced at Xiu'er, stroking her hand, and said, "...I have already repelled the Yellow Turbans, I wonder... Hehe..."

Xiuer blushed and said softly, "I have arranged everything... I am just waiting for the auspicious time..."

"Then...when is the auspicious time?" Jiang Zhe asked immediately.

Xiuer, blushing slightly, glanced at Jiang Zhe and said, "...it will be three days from now."

"Yay!" Jiang Zhe excitedly kissed Xiu'er on the cheek, ran outside, and shouted to the sky, "Mom, your son is getting married!"

Seeing Jiang Zhe's happy expression, Xiu'er reached out and wiped her slightly damp face, scolding him playfully, "This guy!"

That night, Jiang Zhe was so excited that he couldn't sleep well. Xiu'er stayed with him all night as well, but Xiu'er felt very happy. What could make Xiu'er happier than her husband valuing her so much?

The next morning, Jiang Zhe woke up full of energy, while Xiu'er yawned slightly, feeling a bit sleepy. She glared at Jiang Zhe with her phoenix eyes, and remembering how "annoying" Jiang Zhe had been the night before, she blushed and giggled.

Jiang Zhe had already run far away, so of course he couldn't see Xiu'er taking out a red women's dress from the wardrobe, stroking it gently, her face showing a mixture of nostalgia and sadness.

"Mother... Xiuer is getting married..."

"Teacher's wedding?" Chen Deng exclaimed immediately upon hearing this. "Leave this matter to me, I promise..."

"What are you guaranteeing?" Jiang Zhe asked.

"The students guarantee...that the whole city will know..."

"You! I knew it!" Jiang Zhe said, glaring. "At this time of year, you're making it known throughout the city? What if you disturb the other residents?"

Chen Deng immediately bowed in admiration and said, "Teacher's compassion is far beyond what I can match..."

Actually, I also wanted to do what you said… Jiang Zhe inwardly groaned, but Xiu'er insisted that she didn't want to make a big fuss and just invite familiar people like you. Sigh… a wedding… such a big thing, Xiu'er is so…

Seeing Jiang Zhe's uncertain expression, Chen Deng hesitated before saying, "Then, Teacher, what brings you here..."

"Just come to my house for the wedding banquet in three days!" Jiang Zhe said.

Chen Deng looked at Jiang Zhe, then at his empty hands, and asked in confusion, "Then what about this invitation?"

"An invitation?" Jiang Zhe was taken aback.

"..." I knew it! Chen Deng immediately said with a wry smile, "If the teacher doesn't mind, the student is willing to do this for me..."

"Aren't there some etiquette rules I don't understand?" Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "We mustn't...we mustn't disturb the people too much..."

"Students are aware!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!" Jiang Zhe left happily.

"Sigh!" Chen Deng was truly at a loss for words, shaking his head as he walked into the study and said respectfully, "Father... my teacher is getting married in three days..."

"Oh?" Chen Gui stopped flipping through the book. "...Is it Jiang Zhe?"

"Yes, Father!"

"I misjudged this kid..."

"Father really misjudged him..." Chen Deng said with a smile.

"Insolence!" Chen Gui laughed and cursed, glancing at Chen Deng before saying, "I understand your intentions, but I truly don't understand, is Jiang Zhe really that miraculous?"

"He consistently anticipates the enemy's moves, employs countless ingenious strategies, and possesses unparalleled tactical prowess. His knowledge... I can only describe him as erudite..."

Chen Gui gave a wry smile. He had never imagined that his arrogant son would so highly praise someone. "Alright, go and make preparations. I will go with you in three days!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Jiang Zhe fled from the Chen family and then to the Xuzhou prison, where he told Zhang Yan about the incident.

Zhang Yan glanced speechlessly at the shackles on her body, gave a bitter smile, and said, "Then Zi'an will offer his early congratulations to Mr. Jiang on his wedding..."

Jiang Zhe was also a little embarrassed. "I was being presumptuous, but Zi'an, please don't misunderstand, I just..."

"I understand what you mean, sir!" Zhang Yan said with a light laugh. "It is my good fortune that you consider me a friend (how so?). You are so learned and insightful, able to explain the state of the world in just a few words. I am deeply humbled to be valued by you..."

Jiang Zhe thought of this hero who was about to... Sigh, he immediately stood up, "Friends are friends, but public matters should be public, and private matters should be private... Zi'an, please don't blame me..."

"Take care!" Jiang Zhe walked out.

"Take care..." Zhang Yan watched Jiang Zhe walk out, a slight smile on her face. "Sir...we'll meet again someday!"
