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

"Cough cough!"

The cough attracted the attention of three people. Liu Bei was stunned, Guan Yu nodded slightly, but Zhang Fei widened his eyes.

"Zhao Qing?!"

Liu Zhaoqing stepped forward, bowed to Zhang Fei, and said with a smile: "General Fei, long time no see."

"It's been a long time indeed." She wanted to say a few words, but others smiled and called her "Flying General", so Zhang Fei had to bow in return.

After bowing to Guan Yu again, Guan Yu nodded slightly in return.

Compared to the beginning, Guan Yu respected Liu Zhaoqing more only on the surface, and this was also because of Liu Zhaoqing's deeds and his title.

Liu Zhaoqing looked at Liu Bei one last time.

When he met his gaze, Liu Bei clenched his hands slightly, took a small step forward, but then retracted it.

It was obvious that he wanted to hold Liu Zhaoqing's arm, but he was worried and hesitant. Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Liu Zhaoqing all saw it.

Liu Zhaoqing understood Liu Bei's reserve and worry, and was afraid that being too rude in public would have a bad impact on both of them.

So Liu Zhaoqing just sighed and said, "Sister Xuande has lost a lot of weight. She must have suffered a lot in these days."

Biting his lips slightly and clenching his palms tighter and tighter, Liu Bei thought about how he would react when he saw Liu Zhaoqing again, and he prepared himself mentally.

But she didn't expect that just this ordinary sigh would make her eyes like springs, unable to hold the constantly flowing drops of water, and even her chest felt congested.

But Liu Bei finally held back and suppressed his emotions. He slowly raised his hands and prepared to bow to Liu Zhaoqing.

But at this moment, Zhang Fei suddenly came in front of the two of them, then she grabbed Liu Zhaoqing's wrist with one hand, Liu Bei's wrist with the other, and glared at them.

Then he used force to make the two of them clasp their hands tightly.

But that was not enough, Zhang Fei gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and risked being banned from drinking for half a year by his elder sister, and lightly kicked Liu Bei on the calf.

The defenseless Liu Bei tilted forward and suddenly fell into Liu Zhaoqing's arms.

Liu Zhaoqing was surprised and Liu Bei was shocked.

Guan Yu over there felt inexplicably familiar, but then he also revealed an imperceptible smile.

What a good third sister.

After a moment of shock, Liu Zhaoqing felt the nervousness of the person in his arms.

Liu Bei's stiff body lay motionless in her arms, and she did not raise her head to meet Liu Zhaoqing's gaze.

"Huh? Why are you still like this?"

Zhang Fei was puzzled. He had come to this point and these two were so close to each other, why were they still not talking?

According to the script that I imagined, shouldn't the elder sister be shy at this time, with rosy cheeks, lying on Liu Zhaoqing's chest like a bud about to bloom, with lowered eyebrows and pursed lips, expressing her endless thoughts?

This is what is written in the books I have read.

Moreover, when she was in Pingyuan County before, she had passed by the room where her elder sister handled government affairs several times, and secretly saw her elder sister looking towards the north in a daze through the crack of the door.

The Yellow River is in the south, so my elder sister certainly couldn't be worried about whether the Yellow River would become turbulent again.

What is the elder sister worried about? And who is in the north?

Zhang Fei didn't even need to think about it, he knew who his elder sister was missing just by raising the corner of his mouth.

Normally, Zhang Fei would feel uncomfortable if she didn't have a drink for three days at most, but her elder sister could endure it for more than a month or two. This made Zhang Fei admire her and feel touched at the same time.

If you put yourself in her shoes, you can imagine how painful it must be. Although the eldest sister is someone who can accomplish great things, she is enduring such unnecessary pain. As the third sister, it is really unbearable for her to watch.

So, at this moment, the bold and careful Zhang Fei's eyes moved slightly, and he was ready to do something else.

But what she didn't see was that Liu Bei's eyes had slowly turned from nervous to calm, and his black jade eyes slowly raised their heads to meet Liu Zhaoqing's gaze. The complex emotions of longing, hesitation, and wanting to speak in his eyes gradually merged into one.

Not every woman will burst into tears because of a long separation.

Sometimes, the tearful longing is far less than the determination when one's eyes meet.

At this time, Zhang Fei probably forgot that the reason she and her second sister followed the eldest sister was because the eldest sister had great ambitions and was not an ordinary woman.

How could such an elder sister be like an ordinary woman and be as sad as she imagined when they met again?

Fortunately, although Zhang Fei forgot, his second sister beside him did not forget.

When Zhang Fei wanted to be a good third sister again, Guan Yu grabbed her arm.

"Third sister, let's go in first, don't let Lord Bo'an wait too long."

"Ah? Second sister, what are we doing in there when eldest sister is here?" Zhang Fei turned around and asked in confusion.

"You also heard it on the road just now. Zhang Liao who is next to Zhao Qing is called Yi Ji... um, 'Cold-faced Godly General'." Guan Yu said calmly. Although he didn't remember the title because it was too long, these four words were enough to make the third sister obedient.

"Third sister, don't you want to see how much the Renzi Renjie who competed with you before has grown now?"

"And it is said that she killed a thousand Wuhuan bandits in one battle. It would be difficult for Third Sister to achieve such a feat, right?"

Zhang Fei got angry when he heard this, but not because Zhang Liao had become stronger.

But isn't this a clear way of provoking the second sister? Do you think she is so easy to be fooled?

Frowning, Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "Hmph, then I'll go see how much more capable that ponytailed girl has become after not seeing her for two months!"

Having said that, Zhang Fei didn't even need Guan Yu to pull him back, and walked straight into the mansion on his own.

Guan Yu was slightly surprised that the effect would be so good, and then he quickly followed.

Originally, the two men were not allowed to enter the Ru Mansion without revealing their identities and without an invitation. However, the soldiers guarding the gate were not blind. Seeing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei knew Liu Zhaoqing, a popular figure that Bo'an Gong often mentioned recently, they did not dare to stop them.

After entering the mansion, Guan Yu originally wanted to ask Zhang Fei to slow down, as he was worried that his third sister might really fight with Zhang Liao here.

But unexpectedly, just after entering the mansion and before walking for long, Zhang Fei in front of him suddenly stopped.

"Yide?"

Seeing Guan Yu's puzzled expression, Zhang Fei turned around, lowered his footsteps, and went directly towards the gate of the mansion. Then he hid behind the open gate and pricked up his ears as if he was eavesdropping.

This made Guan Yu stunned for a moment, then he frowned slightly.

Guan Yu came up behind him with a serious expression, and then whispered: "A gentleman should not look at or listen to anything that is not proper. Yide, what are you doing?"

"Then, second sister, don't you want to know what the eldest sister and Zhao Qing talked about? Besides, we are not 'gentlemen', we are 'women'."

Under normal circumstances, Guan Yu would still say a few words about this sophistry, but now...

Guan Yu looked at Zhang Fei, then said calmly: "Then you shouldn't do this either."

As she spoke, she came to Zhang Fei's left side, stood at the hinge of the gate, then turned sideways and looked outside through the vertical gap of the hinge with her right eye. She could see clearly what Liu Zhaoqing and her eldest sister were doing.

Zhang Fei opened his mouth, then sighed in his heart... She is worthy of being the second sister.

At the gate of the mansion, after Zhang Fei and Guan Yu entered the mansion, Liu Bei gently separated from Liu Zhaoqing's arms and said apologetically:

"Third sister was very excited all the way. After arriving in Jicheng, she heard about Zhao Qing's deeds being sung by people on the street. She became even more excited and did... this kind of thing."

"Zhao Qing, don't blame her... It's just because I didn't control Yi De well, so Zhao Qing was frightened."

Liu Zhaoqing quickly shook his head and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, Sister Xuande? Yide looks cruel but has a kind heart. He hates evil and is just trying to do good things."

"And Sister Xuande should know how brave I am. How could I be scared by Yide's slap?"

The behavior just now was defined as a "good thing" by Liu Zhaoqing, so Liu Bei couldn't say anything more.

To be honest, although the third sister was a little casual in her etiquette just now, she did it with good intentions.

Looking at Liu Zhaoqing, Liu Bei pursed his lips slightly and said with a hint of helplessness: "Zhaoqing is indeed very courageous."

"I heard from Miss Xun's letter that when Zhao Qing was in Luoyang, he didn't have any big forces to support him. If he dared to attack the Ten Attendants who were at the peak of their power, he would be doomed if he wasn't careful."

Liu Zhaoqing pretended to be angry and said, "Sister Xuande, you misunderstood me. I didn't attack them. I was just protecting myself. If I didn't do something, I would have died in that death row."

After listening to this explanation and thinking about it, Liu Bei agreed: "That's true..."

"Then, Zhao Qing, you dared to run to the border with thirty cavalrymen, and rushed 1,500 miles to Wuhuan Mountain overnight. Was it also for 'self-protection'?" Liu Bei asked again.

"This one……"

Liu Zhaoqing coughed and was unable to answer for a moment.

This is certainly not "self-protection". Raiding the Wuhuan Hu people from afar is truly risking one's life and future, and the fundamental purpose is only to obtain the resources needed for rapid development.

Otherwise, if he only relied on farming, Liu Zhaoqing would probably have to work in Changping for ten years before he could build up some power.

Liu Zhaoqing explained: "Actually... it wasn't thirty cavalrymen. Sister Xuande, don't listen to those rumors that are getting more and more outrageous. More than thirty cavalrymen were the number when we came back. In fact, when we went to the frontier, we had forty cavalrymen."

After the explanation, Liu Zhaoqing himself felt that this explanation was a bit pale and powerless. What is the difference between forty riders and thirty riders?

I wanted to add something, but Liu Bei in front of me just let out a sigh and said softly, "I'm glad you can come back safely."

Feeling the relief and worry in these words, Liu Zhaoqing also fell silent, nodded and said, "I'm sorry to have made Sister Xuande worried."

Liu Bei looked at him and said, "I know Zhao Qing has great ambitions, just like when we were fighting against the Yellow River disaster in the plains, some things must be fought for."

She looked up at Liu Zhaoqing and whispered again, "But Zhaoqing, you should know that you are no longer the insignificant figure you were in Pingyuan. Your every word and action carries a lot of weight in the court at that time."

"Even in the remote Youzhou today, Zhao Qing's deeds of saving the people and loving the people have spread far and wide. The name of Marquis Changping will spread throughout Hebei and even the entire Han Dynasty in the victory report of the battle of Wuhuan Mountain."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded slightly: "Sister Xuande, I understand."

Then he smiled and said modestly: "But... in fact, I am still a 'small person'. After all, my own strength and the people around me are not even comparable to the county magistrate of an ordinary county."

"Didn't Zhao Qing also say that quality is more important than quantity?" Liu Bei also smiled. "Besides, aren't we here to help you?"

Seeing her also smiling, Liu Zhaoqing finally felt relieved and said with a smile: "Now that Sister Xuande is here, I am really relieved!"

What his strategy lacked most was someone who could make the final decision. As for Liu Bei's three sisters, not to mention that they could fight against all the heroes in the world together, at least there was no one in Hebei who could fight against the three of them together.

"Is the situation in Changping very dangerous now? Is it worth it for Zhaoqing to take such a big risk to go to the northern frontier?" Liu Bei asked.

"When I went there, it was a truly empty city." Liu Zhaoqing nodded, "There wasn't even a single civilian."

Liu Bei was silent for a while, then said softly: "It seems that Zhao Qing has suffered a lot."

Unlike others, Liu Bei did not only see his military achievements, but also saw his courage to risk his life and the reasons why he was willing to take risks.

This made Liu Zhaoqing sigh deeply. Undoubtedly, only those who care about each other the most will sacrifice their own situation to consider the other person.

"It's noisy and hot outside. Sister Xuande, shall we go inside and talk?" Liu Zhaoqing smiled, avoided the topic of complaining, and asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei nodded.

In this way, Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei walked towards the mansion together.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Liu Zhaoqing seemed to see two black shadows flash by under the open door.

But then he thought about it and felt that the two shadows might be the pet cats raised by Liu Yu's family.

After entering the mansion with Liu Bei, Liu Zhaoqing took her to the house where Liu Yu and Liu He were. On the way, Liu Zhaoqing also met Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.

Surprised that the two didn't go to see Liu Yu, they also said they didn't know the way.

This is reasonable, Liu Zhaoqing didn't think much about it. He had been outside for a long time, and Liu Yu and his son were still waiting in the house.

Then Liu Zhaoqing brought Liu Bei and his three sisters to Liu Yu.

Seeing Liu Bei and the other two, Liu Yu also smiled: "Xuan De is here. It has been about three months since you and your sisters left me to serve as county magistrates in Pingyuan. It's been a long time since we last met."

The three sisters, led by Liu Bei, bowed to Liu Yu.

"Xuan De has met Lord Bo An."

Then when Liu Bei looked at Liu He, Liu He, who had met Liu Bei before, also smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to make Sister Xuande laugh at me."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Master Liu He is able to come back alive. He who has survived a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."

"Yes, isn't this 'future blessing' coming?" Liu Zhaoqing also took the initiative to say to Liu Yu at this time.

"Lord Bo'an and Master Liu He, look, with Sister Xuande and the other three, how much chance of success can my plan have?"

"Strategy? What strategy?" Zhang Fei wondered.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu had the same doubts in their hearts. Although they came to help Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Yu, Liu Zhaoqing did not specify in the letter what specifically he needed them to do.

Seeing this, Liu Zhaoqing got Liu Yu's approval and then told his plan to Liu, Guan and Zhang.

Liu Bei fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons and possibilities of this strategy.

Guan Yu remained silent.
