The Three Kingdoms: My Wife is a Great and Good Teacher

This smile made Zhao Yun and Liu Yu confused.

Shouldn't Liu Zhaoqing frown or sigh at this time?

"Since Lord Bo'an trusts Zhaoqing, then let me govern Changping." Liu Zhaoqing turned around and bowed to Liu Yu who was sitting on the upper seat.

Then he looked up and said, "However, I have three requests that I hope Lord Bo'an can agree to."

When Liu Yu heard that Liu Zhaoqing agreed to take over this mess that couldn't be worse, his eyes lit up after being surprised.

After hearing his request, Liu Yu smiled and raised his hand: "Then Zhao Qing, please tell me. If it is just an ordinary request, I can agree to it on the spot."

Nodding, Liu Zhaoqing said:

"Changping is adjacent to the foreign tribes, and the land outside the Great Wall has almost been lost. If I were in Changping, I might have a conflict with the foreign tribes or ferocious beasts. If something serious happens, I hope Lord Bo'an can provide timely support."

"That's no problem." Liu Yu nodded immediately. "Zhao Qing was conferred a title of Marquis by the previous emperor. He is also one of the few marquises with fiefdoms. There is actually not much difference between you and me in rank. Now that Zhao Qing can take the initiative to take charge of border defense, I will do my best to take care of him."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and continued, "My second request is that I hope that the land I have reclaimed in Changping or seized from foreigners will be handed over to me for governance so that the people can return to their hometowns."

Liu Yu pondered for a moment after this request, and then looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "If Zhaoqing can really do it, then it would be fine to let Zhaoqing govern the land outside the Great Wall. But in that case, the pressure on Zhaoqing... would also be much greater."

"I will try my best." Liu Zhaoqing nodded.

I sighed in my heart that Liu Zhaoqing really lived up to my expectations. Regardless of whether he could do it or not, at least he had the heart to recover the lost territories and return the people to their homeland, which most people do not have.

"Then what is Zhao Qing's third request?" Liu Yu asked proactively.

Liu Zhaoqing paused for a moment, then moved his gaze from Liu Yu's face to the silver-armored female general behind the table on the right, and smiled again.

"My third request is: I hope Lord Bo'an will allow Zilong to go to Changping with me."

An hour later.

Liu Zhaoqing walked out of the living room alone.

When he walked out, the expression on his face could hardly be stopped and he kept smiling.

Just at this moment, Zhang Liao, who was waiting in the corridor near the door, also saw him coming out. He immediately went up to him and saw Liu Zhaoqing's strange smile.

"My benefactor, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Liao looked at Liu Zhaoqing in confusion.

Liu Zhaoqing put his fist to his chin and coughed, then said seriously, "Nothing, Wenyuan, why are you here? Where's Hong'er?"

"Miss Lu was chatting with the little girl from the Zhen family and trying to counsel her. I couldn't do much to help, so I came out to wait for my benefactor." Zhang Liao said embarrassedly.

Although she was a woman, she was not good at embroidery and needlework. She had been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and worked as a county official at the border when she grew up. Naturally, she was not very good at guiding the ladies of the aristocratic families.

"Is that so? Then let's get ready first. We're going to Changping tomorrow." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"So fast?" Zhang Liao was surprised.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and walked out of the mansion, saying, "Sister Xuande... the magistrate of Pingyuan County had exchanged letters with Lord Bo'an before. Plus what I did in Luoyang, Lord Bo'an has known about me for a long time."

"My title of marquis is not just an honor like an ordinary marquis without fiefdom. Lord Bo'an has already made preparations. And Wenyuan, you should have noticed that judging from the troops Zhao Yun brought and the patrol soldiers in Jicheng, Youzhou is quite short of soldiers. This is because a large number of soldiers are stationed at the Great Wall to resist disasters."

"And now that I have arrived, I have taken the initiative to take on the defense of Changping, which is equivalent to providing a great security guarantee for Ji County, the seat of Youzhou. If you were Lord Bo'an, what would you think?"

Zhang Liao followed behind Liu Zhaoqing and nodded after hearing this: "Then I'm sure they'll be so happy."

"Yes." Liu Zhaoqing nodded, then smiled and said, "But what really makes me happy is that Lord Bo'an readily agreed to my three requests."

"This way, I won't have to worry about anything."

"Three requests?"

"I will talk to Wenyuan more about this matter after we go to Changping, but the last part can be said now." Liu Zhaoqing was still rational, and then smiled and said: "Lord Bo'an agreed to let Zilong go to Changping to help me fight the disaster."

Zhang Liao was surprised.

"With Wenyuan and Zilong, my wife and a group of outstanding people, this poor and miserable Changping will surely live up to its name again."

Liu Zhaoqing looked delighted and strode forward with his hands behind his back.

"I have Zhang Zhao, if I have Wei Huo, haha."

With the addition of Zhao Yun, Liu Zhaoqing's confidence can be said to have increased by more than five points.

Although Liu Yu only agreed to let Zhao Yun "assist" him, after all, as a wise leader, Liu Yu certainly knew how rare a talent like Zhao Yun was, and would not give him up easily.

But "assistance" is enough. Just like he knows Liu Yu, Liu Zhaoqing also knows what kind of person Zhao Yun is.

As long as the attraction he displayed became stronger and stronger, a hero like Zhao Yun would naturally not fail to notice it.

To return to one’s heart means to return to the “heart” rather than the “person”.

Liu Zhaoqing had such a good grasp of people's hearts that he didn't even realize it.

Maybe this is why I got the human book?

Liu Zhaoqing came to a room in a county mansion in Jicheng and sat on a chair thinking.

He stretched out his hand, moved his mind slightly, and a ball of golden light flickered in the palm of his hand, and a brand new book appeared in his hand.

After flipping through it for a while, Liu Zhaoqing looked at the attributes of Bo Cai and others, and found that everyone had improved, and nodded slightly.

Then I flipped to my own properties page.

【Liu Zhaoqing】

【20 years old】

【Destiny: None】

【Wu: 186】

【Wisdom: 198】

【Body: 211】

【Charm: 399】

……

[On February 24, the sixth year of Zhongping, the Duke was conferred the title of Marquis of Changping by Emperor Hong]

[On the third day of the third month in the sixth year of Zhongping, the Duke responded to the Emperor Hong’s wish in the Peach Forest in the West Garden, killed Qiongqi and took the mandate from Heaven.]

During the days in Luoyang, not only did his reputation improve, his physical attributes also increased significantly, especially his charm... It increased by almost four times.

It must be that what I did in Luoyang was indeed a bit... well, too big.

There was nothing special about the "Historical Records" at the end. It just added a few lines about the major events that Liu Zhaoqing had experienced. However, the extra line "Destiny" on the attribute panel made him frown slightly.

He remembered that there was no such column before, and “None” was the same as Zhang Liao’s [Potential], which meant that this was also an unawakened state?

Liu Zhaoqing called out to the dragon several times in his heart, wanting to know what this destiny meant.

This time it was okay. Liu Zhaoqing only called fifteen times before Yinglong answered.

"Have you lost your memory? Have you forgotten about slaying the red dragon?"

This reminder made Liu Zhaoqing remember: "I remember that the book said... can I accept the destiny?"

"Ah."

Yinglong replied coldly, and then said coldly in his mind: "If the ritual of inheriting the Mandate of Heaven is not carried out after a period of time after the death of the ruler, the Mandate of Heaven will be scattered all over the world."

"What is the Ceremony of Destiny?"

"How can I know about the affairs of the ruler? I only know that destiny is just 'fate', which means that there is a talent for being a ruler."

Liu Zhaoqing was surprised. Doesn’t this mean that he has the potential to be an emperor?

But unfortunately, Yinglong heard his inner voice and said ruthlessly and coldly that he was only qualified but was far from the ability now.

As for what abilities Tianming had, Yinglong didn't know. It wasn't omniscient, nor was it a human. After warning Liu Zhaoqing again not to disturb it, it fell into a deep sleep again.

Liu Zhaoqing took the Book of Human Beings and looked at it. He pondered for about a quarter of an hour, shook his head, and with a thought, he turned the Book of Human Beings into a stream of light and entered his body.

Although Yinglong did not explain it, Liu Zhaoqing felt that in order for this "destiny" to manifest itself, he would have to actually control the world, or at least become a hegemon.

However, Yinglong also said that he would perform some kind of ceremony of destiny. Although the situation in Luoyang was chaotic, Liu Zhaoqing also knew that Liu Xie, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, lived for more than 20 years. He must have inherited the position of "Lord of the People". At least before his death, no one else would have a chance to be "Lord of the People".

Thinking of this, he did not take the matter too seriously. Liu Zhaoqing mainly wanted to see how his attributes were growing. For now, his attention had to be focused on Changping, where he was about to go.

After a short rest, Liu Zhaoqing waited for Lu Hong and Zhang Liao.

After returning from Zhen Mi's place, Lu Hong nodded and greeted Liu Zhaoqing, and then told Liu Zhaoqing something that surprised the latter: Zhen Mi also wanted to go to Changping.

The purpose is very simple, which is to avenge his father.

However, Liu Zhaoqing could not make the decision on his own on this matter, so he asked Zhang Liao to ask Liu Yu for instructions. The latter also felt that it was too dangerous and replied to Liu Zhaoqing: It is safer for Zhen Mi to stay in Jicheng, and wait until her emotions are stable, and then send someone to escort her back to her hometown in Zhongshan.

Liu Zhaoqing naturally agreed with this.

In the evening, Liu Yu hosted a banquet for Liu Zhaoqing. During the banquet, Liu Zhaoqing got to know many generals under Liu Yu, such as Tian Chou, Wei You, and Xianyu Fu of the foreign ethnic group.

The other party had also heard of Liu Zhaoqing a long time ago and were very happy to work with him, so the party was quite lively.

After drinking a lot of wine, Liu Zhaoqing was supported by Zhang Liao to go back to his room in the county mansion to rest. Then, he was dazed and a woman in red clothes took off his clothes. After wiping his body, he fell asleep on the bed.

During that time, he slept soundly with a quilt in his arms. I don't know what the quilt in this county mansion was filled with, but it was extremely soft.

After waking up early the next morning, his mind was still clear. He immediately changed his clothes and summoned Zhang Liao and Lu Hong.

"Wenyuan and Hong'er, don't forget your things. We have to set off."

On the first floor of the county residence, Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile to Zhang Liao and Lu Hong who were coming towards him.

Then he noticed that Lu Hong looked a little uncomfortable, and asked her if she didn't sleep well. Lu Hong shook her head, then looked at Liu Zhaoqing and lowered her head again.

This made Liu Zhaoqing a little confused. After Lv Hong took the initiative to ask the servants to prepare the carriage, Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhang Liao why Lv Hong felt a little strange.

"Benefactor... don't you remember?"

Zhang Liao looked a little strange, and then said, "When I came back yesterday, it was Miss Lu who helped me dress and wipe my clothes, and then..."

"Then what?"

"And then... well, I don't know either." Zhang Liao said.

"what?"

Looking at Liu Zhaoqing's puzzled expression, Zhang Liao thought about it and decided that it would be better to be honest.

"However, around midnight, I heard footsteps coming from my benefactor's room..." Zhang Liao didn't know what to say anymore.

"It should be some kind of rat." Zhang Liao guessed.

Liu Zhaoqing was also stunned for a moment. He could of course see through Wen Yuan's clumsy lie.

Could it be that the "bedding" I was hugging while sleeping... was actually Hong'er?

"No wonder, I was wondering why there was still a fragrance."

"fragrance?"

"Uh, nothing, Wenyuan, let's go out quickly. Zilong should be waiting outside the city." Liu Zhaoqing quickly changed the subject.

After he went out, he happened to see Lv Hong who was following the coachman who was driving the carriage. When Liu Zhaoqing met her gaze, his face looked a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Lv Hong knew that Liu Zhaoqing remembered, and her face blushed again.

Afterwards, Lu Hong also took the initiative to enter the carriage. Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao rode the horses prepared by Liu Yu for them, and then came to the outside of the city.

Not only was Liu Yu himself waiting outside the city, but some of his staff, Zhao Yun riding a white horse, and more than 20 soldiers were also waiting beside the repaired and leveled road.

When Zhao Yun saw Liu Zhaoqing coming out, his eyes lit up.

After dismounting, Liu Zhaoqing bowed to Liu Yu and thanked him for his hospitality and help.

Seeing this, Liu Yu stroked his beard and smiled, "Zhao Qing is so polite. If you want to thank someone, I should thank you."

"Not only did he help rescue my old friend's daughter, he also took the initiative to go to places like Changping to help me. I am lucky to have Zhao Qing here."

After a few brief words, Liu Yu asked Tian Chou beside him to bring up a black and red box and hand it to Liu Zhaoqing.

There was the seal of the magistrate of Changping County, which was equivalent to giving Liu Zhaoqing real legal recognition and also equivalent to handing over Changping completely to him.

Liu Zhaoqing took it and saluted.

Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Liu Yu and others, he went to the north together with Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Lü Hong in the carriage, and more than 20 soldiers.

Before noon, he will be able to take up his post in Changping.
