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

"Yes, I'm planning to go to the Yellow River. But don't worry, Jiao'er. With those three sisters by my side, I'm almost invincible." Liu Zhaoqing said as he put on his clothes.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Jiao and said with a smile: "Jiao'er, sleep for a while longer. You worked hard last night."

"It's daytime now... Qingjun, don't say anything..." Zhang Jiao turned her head away shyly when she heard that.

Even though they have been married for five years, his wife is still charming.

"But Qingjun's physique is indeed... much stronger..." He whispered softly.

"What?" Liu Zhaoqing didn't hear clearly, but when he asked again, Zhang Jiao had turned her head away and ignored him.

As an intellectual and well-educated girl from a poor family, Zhang Jiao is still very reserved, which is also one of her lovable qualities.

If history is crooked but unstoppable, Zhang Jiao, as a great and wise teacher, will definitely take the fate of Heaven, and Liu Zhaoqing will not sit idly by.

In order to achieve an ending different from that of his previous life and change the fate of the Great Sage Teacher, Liu Zhaoqing must try every means to strengthen his own power.

And the first step, of course, is to protect the home first.

The arrival of Fuxi may be a sign. Liu Zhaoqing must find out how serious the Yellow River turmoil will be and what preparations he can make.

So he asked Bo Cai to go to the county magistrate's mansion last night to inform Liu Bei, hoping that he could go to the Yellow River with him today to see what risks there were beneath the calm river water.

Liu Zhaoqing thought that Liu Bei would ask his servants to pick him up, but what he didn't expect was that the person who came to pick him up was Zhang Fei.

However, Zhang Fei was not like before. He had no hostility towards Liu Zhaoqing. In fact, when he saw Liu Zhaoqing coming out of his house, the smile on his face was almost blooming, and he waved and shouted.

"Sister-in-law!"

This loud shout raised a cloud of dust all around, causing Liu Zhaoqing to stagger and almost fall. The noisy rooster in his house, which was crowing in the middle of a fight, choked and died.

Chapter 25 Liu Bei's Recruitment

Fortunately, Liu Zhaoqing was quick-witted and held onto the door so he didn’t fall down.

But the chicken at home is different. I will probably eat two big bowls of it with tears in my eyes.

"Huh? Brother-in-law, why can't you walk steadily? Logically speaking, after drinking our eldest sister's medicine yesterday, you should be in good shape and full of energy." Zhang Fei looked puzzled.

Indicating to the servants who came running over after hearing the noise that he was fine, Liu Zhaoqing stepped over the threshold and said with a wry smile: "General Fei, please stop teasing me. I am not as brave as you. That shout just now almost made me lose my soul."

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Fei also realized the problem and said with embarrassment, "I always treated you as someone like us. Sorry, sorry."

Liu Zhaoqing was also surprised that Zhang Fei would actually apologize.

"Besides, why did the Flying General call me brother-in-law? If your second sister and eldest sister heard this, they would be scolded."

"Well..." Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, then nodded and said, "That makes sense. We can't call it that now."

"Then what should I call you?" Zhang Fei thought for a moment, "Brother?"

This address made Liu Zhaoqing's heart skip a beat. He could even imagine Zhang Fei standing on the city gate tower and shouting "Brother Zhaoqing" in a voice that was even more manly than any other man.

"General Fei, just call me by my name, or call me Brother Zhaoqing like Sister Xuande does." Liu Zhaoqing said quickly with a bow.

"My younger brother can't do that. We can't mess up the generations." Zhang Fei shook his head: "Then let Zhao Qing go."

"Come, Zhaoqing, I've prepared a carriage for you. Do you think it's okay?" Zhang Fei nodded at a carriage behind him.

"Thank you, General Fei."

"You're welcome. It's just a small matter."

Liu Zhaoqing was a little surprised and at a loss as to what to do with Zhang Fei's sudden familiarity, especially when he called him "sister-in-law" for no apparent reason. In the carriage, Liu Zhaoqing also asked Zhang Fei, who was sitting opposite him, some questions.

But this time Zhang Fei kept silent and kept saying, "Don't ask, don't ask, she was just calling him that casually."

Thinking that Zhang Fei's personality was indeed very straightforward and casual, Liu Zhaoqing didn't take it seriously and turned to ask about another question.

"Just now General Fei said that after I drank Sister Xuande's medicine, I should be able to perform like a dragon and a phoenix?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"Yes."

"I do feel the same way. I wonder what Sister Xuande's medicine is. It's so magical..." Liu Zhaoqing wondered, "If we can stock up on more medicinal materials, then we won't be fearless in the face of dangers in the future, right?"

Zhang Fei curled his lips and said, "How can such a good thing happen? This thing is rare, only my eldest sister has it."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Suddenly remembering what his elder sister had told him, Zhang Fei, who was about to speak out, hesitated. Then he looked around and said mysteriously, "I'll tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else."

Liu Zhaoqing immediately perked up: "General Fei, please speak."

"Actually... my eldest sister is not a human."

"what?"

"Hahaha, I was just kidding. You look so funny, haha."

"..."

Liu Zhaoqing didn't expect Zhang Fei to make a joke, but this made the atmosphere in the carriage a lot more cheerful.

Just like Zhang Fei said, that miraculous medicine must be very rare. As an outsider, Liu Zhaoqing was unlikely to tell him the secret, so he did not think about it any further and just regarded it as a favor he owed Liu Bei.

Later in the car, Liu Zhaoqing was also wondering why Zhang Fei came to pick him up in person. Zhang Fei said that he had nothing to do at home, and his second sister and eldest sister had already gone to the river bank, so they were sent to pick up Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing asked whether the matter of Fu Xi had been settled. Zhang Fei waved his hand and said that he had taken care of everything. The second sister's body was burned to ashes, and Zhang Fei had someone fill up the road. It was just that Liu Zhaoqing might need to repair his own theater, which was obviously not a big deal for Liu Zhaoqing.

"Luckily there was the general, otherwise I would have died there." Liu Zhaoqing lamented his good luck.

"That's right, my second sister is invincible in the world." Zhang Fei did not hesitate to praise his second sister.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly became angry and slapped her thigh.

"I get angry when I talk about this. Zhaoqing, you don't know that after my second sister killed those ugly birds, the threshold of our county magistrate's mansion was almost trampled flat that night."

"Oh? Why is that?" Liu Zhaoqing asked curiously.

Then Zhang Fei told him that it was the wealthy families in Pingyuan County who came to visit Liu Bei on their own initiative.

"These sons of bitches are all so rich. Oh, I'm not talking about you, Zhao Qing. You are much more generous than them. When the three sisters and I visited each of them before, they either pretended to have something to do and refused to see us, or gave a few thousand dollars to send off beggars."

"Now that they have seen our strength, they have started to act like that dog, wagging their tails and running over to lick us!" Zhang Fei growled in anger.

"This is really shameless! Don't you agree, Zhao Qing?!"

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and nodded.

Although this is a very normal thing, Zhang Fei's hatred of evil makes her feel that these guys who go back to their ex are disgusting.

Later, Liu Zhaoqing asked Liu Bei whether he had received them. Zhang Fei said that he had received them but did not ask for any money.

As the eldest sister, Liu Bei was much more mature and knew that she could not offend these people now, but she did not accept the money and owe them favors for no reason. This was considered a good response.

After Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Fei chatted for a while, the carriage gradually stopped.

"Excuse me, we have reached the riverbank," the driver said respectfully.

Zhang Fei and Liu Zhaoqing got off the carriage and walked along the river bank for a while before the Yellow River came into Liu Zhaoqing's sight.

He has been in Pingyuan for five years, and this is not the first time he has come to the Yellow River, but this time, he found that the water of the Yellow River seemed to be more turbid than before.

"Big sister is there, let's go quickly."

Looking up, I saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu standing by the river bank. In the distance, many workers were carrying soil, apparently reinforcing the river bank.

Under the leadership of Zhang Fei, Liu Zhaoqing quickly arrived at Liu Bei and his group not far away.

"Sister Xuande, and General Guan." Liu Zhaoqing clasped his fists and took the initiative to greet Liu Bei and Guan Yu.

Guan Yu nodded in response, but Liu Bei seemed a little out of shape and his reaction was half a beat slower than usual before he nodded in response.

"Zhao Qing is here."

Then Liu Zhaoqing stopped talking and immediately asked about the main business.

However, Liu Bei could not predict the severity of the Yellow River Rebellion. As for what she was going to do, she could talk about it with Liu Zhaoqing.

"The first thing we need to guard against when the Yellow River is in chaos is the surging water when the river is opened. We must first ensure that the dike does not burst, so we must reinforce the embankment. Then I plan to start digging some drainage ditches behind some low parts of the embankment. In this way, even if the water overflows the embankment, it will not all converge into a flood, but will be divided and diverted to other places." Liu Bei said.

"I think it's feasible, but in addition to that, I think Sister Xuande can also mobilize the people to widen the tributaries next to Pingyuan County, and then set up a few outposts on the county wall to keep an eye on the Yellow River at all times."

"Well... this is indeed feasible." Liu Bei thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Moreover, most of the people are ordinary people, and many of them are illiterate. Sister Xuande can send people to copy dozens of copies of the correct way to escape when encountering a flood, and then go door to door to publicize it, and give some encouragement, such as giving two coins to those who can recite it."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up: "Zhao Qing's method... is really clever."

……

Liu Bei and Liu Zhaoqing walked along the river bank, one in front and one behind, while discussing strategies for dealing with disasters. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed far behind them.

They talked like this for more than two hours, until Zhang Fei reminded them that if they walked any further they would reach Yangping County, so they stopped.

When Liu Zhaoqing was about to leave, Liu Bei suddenly called him.

"Zhao Qing..."

"What's the matter, Sister Xuande?"

Liu Bei looked directly at Liu Zhaoqing and said, "I wonder if Zhaoqing is interested in becoming an official? I would like to work with you to create great things together."

Liu Zhaoqing stood there in silence.

Zhang Fei on the other side was watching all the time. Guan Yu turned his head away and pretended not to care, but his ears were perked up towards this side.

"If you have a good wife at home, you can't abandon her."

Chapter 26 Tian Yu

On the river bank.

Liu Zhaoqing's figure came in front and behind the carriage, waved to them, then got into the carriage and gradually went away.

The three people looked at each other differently.

There was a gleam in Liu Bei's eyes, Guan Yu was gentle, but Zhang Fei's eyes were almost spitting fire.

"This Liu Zhaoqing is really ungrateful! His elder sister, a county magistrate, came to recruit him, a commoner, but he refused without even a second thought!" Zhang Fei was very angry.

Faced with Zhang Fei's anger, Liu Bei smiled.

"Sister, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Fei was stunned.

"Third sister, don't you think Zhao Qing shouldn't refuse?" Guan Yu asked from the side.

"Of course. Big sister, you humbled yourself to recruit him. Big sister, you saved his life. Not only big sister, but big sister also saved his life. He refused without beating around the bush. What a fool! He is!"

"Third sister, that's not what you said about him last night. You even said he was a good person and made you drink several more pots of wine." Guan Yu said calmly.

"That was different from now. Last night was last night, and today is today." Zhang Fei was speechless and immediately started to argue.

Then he looked at Guan Yu and wondered, "Yes, Second Sister, why aren't you angry?"

"Why are you angry?" Guan Yu asked back.

"Because he doesn't know how to appreciate it." Zhang Fei said, "The three of us are gifted by heaven. With our martial arts skills, we will surely rise to the top. Second sister, you have shown him your martial arts skills. There is no way he can't see it!"

"So what if they figured it out?" Guan Yu asked again, "Does Third Sister think that those wealthy and powerful people who came to my door last night because they saw my strength are 'knowing how to show respect'?"

Zhang Fei was speechless, but still angry. He looked at his elder sister and said, "Even if that's the case, you shouldn't be happy!"

"Why not be happy? If you are in a good mood, you will naturally be happy." Liu Bei said.

"In a good mood?" Zhang Fei opened his mouth and said, "Big sister, are you so angry that you are stupid? How can you be in a good mood?"

"He has a wealth of knowledge, behaves like a virtuous man, has a straight manner, and a heart as tight as a knot. How could I be angry..."

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he let out a breath, shook his head, and walked forward.

"What's Yi Xi, what's Jie Xi? What are you talking about, elder sister?" The third sister didn't understand at all.

She looked at her second sister, and Guan Yu did not keep her in suspense. He stroked his long hair and spoke slowly.

"To be servile is just a mean person, to be loyal and righteous is a real man."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that this meant that Liu Zhaoqing was consistent in character and valued friendship.

No wonder the eldest sister was not angry but happy instead. Isn’t this what the eldest sister cares about most in her daily life?

Although Zhang Fei felt that what his eldest and second sisters said made sense, he was still a little angry. He thought his eldest sister was getting too angry, so he immediately chased after her and said a lot to Liu Bei.

Guan Yu shook his head when he saw this, and then she looked at the carriage going away, nodded slightly, and followed the two sisters.
