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

Chapter 192: Picking Red 5K

Liu Zhaoqing was enjoying a massage with his eyes closed, while still thinking about important matters in his mind.

For example, how can we maximize the benefits of 5,000 war horses? Especially since war horses are not ordinary horses, will there be any difficulties in raising and training them?

Then Liu Zhaoqing thought of Bo Cai. Bo Cai, who had the natural gift of "breeding", might be able to take care of these precious horses in an orderly manner, and it seemed that his wife had arranged it in this way.

Then, there is another question: how to spend the twenty carts of jewels and weapons?

Purchasing food and rations is definitely necessary. Should I spend more money to strengthen the city's defense? Or... give myself some subsidies?

Jiao'er had said before that the mansion where Liu Zhaoqing lived was a bit dilapidated.

Although this mansion was the residence of a county magistrate or even a township marquis, after so many days, it had only been simply renovated, such as removing weeds and dead trees and planting some green plants.

The principle that money should be spent wisely means that Liu Zhaoqing would consider whether his own food and drink expenses were excessive.

Therefore, the mansion where he lives now is inferior to other county magistrate's mansions, and even to the Qing Mansion where he lived before in Pingyuan.

In this study, apart from two gloomy bookcases, cracked wooden tables and chairs, and two long desks, the wooden couch under him could be considered a "luxury item".

Even so, if Liu Zhaoqing moved a little while lying down, he could hear a "creaking" sound coming from under him.

That was the cry of the wooden couch, reminding Liu Zhaoqing that it was time to replace it with a newer set of furniture.

However, Liu Zhaoqing rejected this idea in his mind after just thinking about it.

If you want to train an invincible Yellow Turban Cavalry, a huge investment of wealth is inevitable, so it is better to save as much as possible.

"Huh~hiss~whoosh...yes, that's it..."

At this moment, the feeling coming from his legs made Liu Zhaoqing couldn't help but hum a few times.

She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Lu Hong who was kneeling on the ground and kneading her legs.

Liu Zhaoqing really didn't expect that what Lu Hong learned from the book would be so useful. After being pinched by the soft hands, Liu Zhaoqing felt a comfortable relaxation in his leg muscles.

I could really feel that my fatigue was relieved.

"Young Master...if Hong'er didn't control the strength well or was too light, please let me know." Lu Hong said in a low voice.

"Just right, just right." Liu Zhaoqing said quickly.

Hearing this, Lu Hong felt relieved. Her hands slowly moved from Liu Zhaoqing's calves to her thighs, with a serious and careful expression. This expression was somewhat similar to that of Guo Jia, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao.

"By the way, Hong'er, I think Madam and the others were doing okay during the two days I was away?" Taking this opportunity, Liu Zhaoqing thought of asking about the situation in Changping City during the two days when he was away.

Although he could ask Jiao'er about this, given his wife's personality, she would skip telling Liu Zhaoqing even if she had any grievances.

On the contrary, Lu Hong was able to make an objective statement.

After thinking about it, Lu Hong told Liu Zhaoqing that from her point of view, Zhou Cang and Baoer and others in the city seemed busy in the past two days. Only two of them had almost not slept for two nights and were busy with government affairs the whole day.

Those two people were naturally Zhang Jiao and Guo Jia.

Originally, the reason why Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhang Jiao to stay in Changping and did not let her go north with him was that he wanted her to be in charge of Changping, but obviously Zhang Jiao did stay in charge and also participated in a lot of government affairs.

If his wife in the past was his harbor, then Zhang Jiao now has become Liu Zhaoqing's real "backbone". She is a truly outstanding person, a truly great and virtuous teacher, and can provide Liu Zhaoqing with so much help.

With her around, Liu Zhaoqing could often go to the northern frontier without worrying about his "home" being stolen.

"They've worked so hard..." Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and said, "I don't know how long Jiao'er will stay in the prisoner camp. We need to let her have a good rest. And Fengxiao is weak to begin with. Although we haven't found a cure yet, we can't work so hard. We need to talk to her about it later."

"Miss Guo Jia is working too hard... Madam has advised her, if you come forward, she will probably listen to you..." Lu Hong nodded, and then said: "But... as for Madam, I think she may not listen to you."

"Madam is very wise and even Miss Guo Jia has praised her many times." She kneaded Liu Zhaoqing's thigh and continued, "Madam also told us before that these 3,000 Hu prisoners are very important, but if nothing is done, the hidden dangers will be great."

"Sir, don't think that they bowed down to you and worshipped you at that time. That was only because they were afraid of you and were temporarily affected by the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth."

"In fact, these people have families. Their homes are outside the Great Wall, their roots are in Wuhuan, and only their bodies are here with us. So at that time, there must have been quite a lot of them who were pretending to surrender, and they would be waiting for an opportunity to escape in a few days."

"However, if Madam takes action, this worry can be resolved." Lu Hong said with a smile.

"Madam is the best at 'guiding' people who are lost. Baoer also said before that if Madam is here, as long as we give Madam some time, we don't have to worry too much about the three thousand captives."

After spending these days together, Lv Hong got to know Zhang Jiao a lot better. She was also more surprised and recognized this woman who could become Liu Zhaoqing's wife. Lv Hong felt that she could not compare with the abilities and talents she possessed.

Liu Zhaoqing naturally knew more about Zhang Jiao, and he also knew that Zhang Jiao's confidence should come from his own gift of preaching and the Book of the Earth.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhaoqing nodded: "For something like converting a foreign race, I guess only Jiao'er can do it..."

If even the Great Sage Master cannot make these captives submit loyally, then Liu Zhaoqing will have no choice but to treat them as "consumables".

"If Jiao'er can 'guide' half of these three thousand Hu captives, our temporary combat effectiveness will be guaranteed." Liu Zhaoqing said softly.

"But it's not enough to just get them to pledge their allegiance. We need to trouble Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to train their troops more."

"I don't need to say much, that's exactly what they are doing."

Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing asked Lu Hong what Zhang Jiao and the others were doing while he was sleeping.

Lu Hong was also very obedient and told everything.

In fact, there was nothing new. It was probably that everyone chose not to disturb Liu Zhaoqing, and then under the coordination of Zhang Jiao and Guo Jia, they continued the unfinished task last night.

After listening to this, Liu Zhaoqing felt relieved.

At this time, Lv Hong had finished massaging Liu Zhaoqing's legs and was about to move to his arms.

But before making her move, Lv Hong still couldn't suppress her inner curiosity and asked, "Master, Hong'er has another question for you to answer. The poem you said last night..."

Lu Hong was still thinking about the poem, probably to make Liu Zhaoqing and her less embarrassed.

Liu Zhaoqing also cooperated well and told Lv Hong the general meaning of the poem. Lv Hong's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he felt in his heart that Liu Zhaoqing was indeed a great hero who served the country and the people.

At this time, Lu Hong put her hand on Liu Zhaoqing's abdomen. When she felt the strong muscles, she didn't know where to start.

Under Liu Zhaoqing's "casual" order, Lv Hong also boldly and bravely took the first step.

After quickly relaxing Liu Zhaoqing's arms and chest, Lu Hong recalled the book and respectfully asked Liu Zhaoqing to turn over so that she could help massage his back.

Of course Liu Zhaoqing cooperated very well and turned over and lay on the couch.

Seeing this, Lu Hong didn't think much about it. She stood up, lifted her skirt, walked to the couch, then bent down and prepared to give a massage.

After pressing for a while, Liu Zhaoqing, who was lying on his stomach, frowned slightly. Unlike before, this time he felt a little...uncomfortable.

"Hong'er, take off your shoes and try it with your feet."

"what??"

Lv Hong was a little frightened until Liu Zhaoqing explained: "Uh, I mean, step on my back."

Only then did Lu Hong feel relieved, and she took off her shoes as Liu Zhaoqing instructed.

She understood that Liu Zhaoqing wanted her to be more forceful.

If it was my own weight, I wonder if I could satisfy you...

Lu Hong was still worried about this kind of thing, but when she took off her shoes, came to the couch, and just stepped on Liu Zhaoqing's back, the rest of Liu Zhaoqing's couch made a muffled sound.

Then there was a crack, and she and Liu Zhaoqing fell to the ground together.

"Oh my god, why did it collapse? Is Hong'er okay?!" Liu Zhaoqing, who was awakened by the shock, quickly turned around and asked.

But he found that Lu Hong was holding his medicine and leaning against him.

Raising his hand, Liu Zhaoqing was about to comfort her, but he happened to meet her slightly opened eyes.

The rosy lips seemed hazy as if covered by a layer of mist, and they looked extremely attractive in Liu Zhaoqing's eyes.

As if she had noticed Liu Zhaoqing's gaze, Lu Hong closed her eyes again. Everyone thought she would shyly stand up and leave.

But unexpectedly, she boldly bent down, pressed her chest against Liu Zhaoqing's chest, and offered her courage with her thin red lips.

"Well?"

Surprised and shocked, Liu Zhaoqing wanted to stop at the first try, but he found that the other party's arms were holding him very tightly.

Slowly separating, the beauty, with a look as graceful as water, inadvertently revealed her fragrant shoulders.

"Madam has talked to Hong'er alone about her illness before." Lu Hong's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

"Madam guessed that if Hong'er wanted to control her abilities, she would need a stronger physique. Madam said... Young Master knew the method to improve her physique..."

"Master, please help Hong'er..." Lv Hong's delicate face showed a hint of pleading, "Hong'er doesn't want to... become a burden to you."

"..."

Liu Zhaoqing fell silent, looked at her, and then asked seriously: "Hong'er, are you really willing to stay with me?"

Lu Hong bit her lip lightly and replied in a low voice: "When I was in Luoyang, I was already yours."

"Please... Sir, can you accept Hong'er..."

After Lu Hong finished speaking, Liu Zhaoqing paused and then let go of her hand.

Staring blankly at Liu Zhaoqing, Lu Hong suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, but the next second her body was picked up horizontally by Liu Zhaoqing.

"Ah, Sir, why are you..."

"Of course we should go to the room. Does Hong'er want to stay here?"

Liu Zhaoqing's words made Lu Hong bury her head in his chest.

It turned out that she almost misunderstood.

Being placed on the bed, when her lover approached, Lu Hong no longer subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest, but instead lay on the bed and looked at him without reservation.

She could even see every part of her body in the other person's eyes.

However, when there was only one step left, the opponent stood still like a piece of wood.

"Why... stopped?" Lu Hong asked softly with confusion.

"What a nice view."

Getting such an answer, Lu Hong was surprised but also a little happy.

Red cheeks, Lv Hong looked at the other person and turned her head away, moving her lips slightly: "Please... have mercy on me, young master."

The white jade porcelain on the table next to it is so beautiful. If you hold it in your arms, you can feel its smoothness. Perhaps it has been exposed to the scorching sun for a whole day, so it must be inexplicably hot.

The waist of the porcelain vase is slender, but the body of the bottle is extremely smooth. Just by playing with it for a while, you can appreciate that this is a rare and exquisite product.

After carefully appreciating the perfect treasure, I felt as if something was missing.

Slowly placing a bouquet of flowers into the white jade vase finally made up for the last shortcoming.

The moment they saw this perfect finished product, even the two people who didn't understand art would let out loud exclamations.

However, the art of flower arrangement is not that easy to understand. It requires a lot of attempts before you can become proficient in it.

-

At night, Liu Zhaoqing walked out of the room and closed the door gently.

Then he came to the living room, poured a cup of tea and took a sip of water, then looked down at his arm with a hint of confusion.

"Why... does it feel shiny?"

"Plants represent vitality, and her blood naturally has such an effect, but only the first blood can do so."

A calm female voice came from behind, and Liu Zhaoqing stood up and looked back in fright.

After seeing Zhang Jiao in a light yellow dress, Liu Zhaoqing became even more nervous, but then he frowned and suddenly looked at her: "No, Jiao'er, why are you here? It's like... you knew I would come."

"Could it be..." Liu Zhaoqing looked at Zhang Jiao: "Jiao'er, was it you who ordered this?"

Zhang Jiao smiled. Although she didn't give a direct answer, her smile was worth a thousand words.

"I was wondering how could she be so shameless..." Liu Zhaoqing murmured, then looked at Zhang Jiao: "But Jiao'er, why did you do this?"

"It was indeed me who asked her to do this. Qingjun, please don't blame Hong'er. She also shook her head before, but I persuaded her many times." Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "As for why she did this, doesn't Qingjun know?"

"I know?" Liu Zhaoqing thought about it and wondered if he had lost any key memories.

Zhang Jiao shook her head and sighed, "Qing Jun is indeed different from ordinary people. When ordinary people gain power, they want to enjoy themselves, and the most important thing is to enjoy delicacies and beauties."

"The beauties around Qingjun are like delicacies, but it seems as if I have never seen them."

"Well..." Liu Zhaoqing was embarrassed, "It's not that I didn't see it, it's just that... I felt it was not the right time."

"'Delicacy' will not leave, but 'beauty' may not leave." Zhang Jiao walked to Liu Zhaoqing's side.

"Especially for these beauties with important abilities, Qingjun's indifference could be seen as a tactful rejection."
