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

It seemed as if the grass and trees were calling out from the cracks in the bricks of the city wall, and the green grass on the ground outside Changping City seemed to have become countless children eager to be appeased.

Lu Hong had had this feeling before, when she faced a ferocious beast.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Hong was able to help Liu Zhaoqing and Xun Yu kill the ferocious beast together.

The familiar feeling came again, and this time, with the blessing of Zhang Jiao's special power, the call that Lu Hong felt was hundreds of times stronger than last time.

"This is... a gift from heaven..." Guo Jia was slightly surprised when he saw Lu Hong suddenly emitting a faint green light. He immediately realized that Lu Hong was one of the key characters in this defensive battle.

He quickly ordered the soldiers in the city wall to gather and guard his side. At this time, several dark Xianbei cavalrymen had already stepped onto the city wall not far away.

Just at this moment, Lu Hong opened her eyes, and as she raised her right hand, countless vines suddenly grew out of the cracks in the bricks on the city wall.

When the dark cavalryman faced the green vines, he raised his knife and prepared to cut them off without any hesitation.

After all, how can plants resist steel?

Then, when they and their horses were rolled up by the vines, they suddenly felt a warmth in their chests, and their emotions changed from cold to surprise, tension, and horror.

The warriors and horses regained their vitality; the life force emanating from the vines saved them.

But, this also announced that they had lost the blessing.

The "vitality" that Lu Hong possesses is the natural enemy of these "dead air".

Zhang Jiao saw that the cavalry on the city wall were constantly returning to normal, and then were rolled up by vines and thrown far away while screaming. Her eyes were stern, and she did not relax but increased the release of the power in her body.

At the same time, Lu Hong did not relax. She raised her hands, and countless vines began to grow along the city wall. The towers in the four directions of southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest were covered with green.

For a moment, the entire Changping City walls and towers were covered with extremely lush vines.

This green area should have been the most fragile and the most familiar to the Xianbei people, but now it has become a forbidden zone that they can hardly cross.

"What kind of power is this? How can one absorb the blessing of the Holy Spirit ancestor..."

"Han people, do Han people also have Holy Spirit?"

"impossible……"

The generals around him began to talk about the changes after seeing the changes in Changping City not far away.

However, the expression of the leading Chanyu, Tan Shihuai, did not change at all.

He slowly raised his hand and said, "Send out a hundred spiritual birds to strangle that woman to death."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man next to him who seemed to be dressed as a priest raised the wooden staff in his hand.

Several gaps suddenly appeared in the dark clouds in the sky, and a large number of flying soldiers riding on birds flew out and attacked Lu Hong on the city wall.

-

Grassland.

Liu Zhaoqing, who was marching under the cover of night, looked back to the south and frowned slightly.

Zhang Liao, who was standing beside him, immediately asked, "My benefactor, what's wrong?"

Shaking his head, Liu Zhaoqing was just a little worried about Changping in the rear, and did not feel any other discomfort.

The Xianbei Chanyu was no mediocre man, and his main force was even more extraordinary. Liu Zhaoqing was not sure how long Zhang Jiao and his group could hold out.

Therefore, we must not delay any longer. If we can find the Holy Spirit one second faster, we can buy a little more chance of survival for Changping City in the rear.

Eight hundred cavalrymen were galloping on the grassland at night, and in front of them, there was a huge green tiger leading the way.

The green tiger would slow down its pace from time to time to sniff and search for the way, and would speed up its running with a gleam in its eyes from time to time.

Not long after that, Liu Zhaoqing and others saw a flash of fire in the distance.

"stop!"

He immediately ordered his troops to stop, without Liu Zhaoqing's order. Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and 800 cavalrymen prepared their weapons and got ready for battle.

In the dark night of this deserted grassland, they suddenly saw a continuous stream of fire, which meant that they had found the main force of Wuhuan.

He is now making a fire and cooking over there.

Luo Luo's low roar beside Liu Zhaoqing also confirmed this point. The main force of Wuhuan was indeed ahead.

Liu Zhaoqing now faces two choices.

One was to use his own cavalry of less than 800 to launch a surprise attack on the main force of Wuhuan, which consisted of at least 20,000 soldiers.

Second, Liu Zhaoqing only took Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun to find the leader of Luo Luo, that is, the land spirit, among the main force of Wuhuan.

Both are risky, but the rewards are exceptionally high.

Of course, there is a third option, which is to bypass them. This is not giving in or retreating.

Liu Zhaoqing’s main goal now must be the Holy Spirit. If he makes the first two choices, it will inevitably affect the speed at which he finds the Holy Spirit.

But what if someone in the Wuhuan royal court knew the exact location of the Holy Spirit?

"My benefactor, I don't think the matter of the land spirit is important right now. I think we still need to kill the land spirit before the Wuhuan Hu people." Zhang Liao suggested at this time.

Faced with the opportunity to break through to the top level right before her eyes, Zhang Liao was not tempted. She understood deeply what was the most important thing for her at this moment.

Zhao Yun nodded at this time and said, "Wenyuan is right, but just now when the lord took out the Seven Star Sword, he found that the false emperor's sense was getting smaller and smaller, which means that the false emperor may be recovering quickly, or moving away."

"I think we have to find the exact location of the Holy Spirit."

Liu Zhaoqing listened to the two generals' suggestions, but just as he was thinking about it, Luo Luo beside him suddenly yelled.

All of a sudden, Liu Zhaoqing saw a large number of soldiers suddenly emerging from the originally dark grass.

"There's an ambush!"

Zhao Yun reacted immediately, then grabbed Bailong's reins, jumped up and rushed towards the nearest ambush soldiers.

When he was about to shoot through the ambushing soldiers on the ground, along with the grass, dirt and people, a loud shout came from not far away.

"Marquis Changping, wait a minute!!"

The person who was shouting did not seem to be very fluent in Chinese and was obviously a Hu person.

But Zhao Yun saw that when the sound was heard, the soldiers in ambush actually retreated in unison.

This is a way to show that you are not hostile.

Zhao Yun's spear stopped at the moment before he made a move, and a ray of torch light appeared in the darkness in the distance.

Then two Wuhuan people on horseback came towards them.

The leader was tall and strong, with a beard, wearing a white sable coat, and his hat was decorated with many jewels and gold.

This person was none other than the King of Wuhuan, Qiuliju.

Seeing Qiu Liju appear in front of him, Liu Zhaoqing was surprised and puzzled. How could he appear here so peacefully? Or: How could this Wuhuan King be... so friendly?

"Qiuliju?"

The two horses came not far in front of Liu Zhaoqing. Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the eight hundred cavalrymen were very wary of Qiu Liju and others.

But Qiuliju and his men and soldiers did not make any moves. Instead, Qiuliju was surprised when Liu Zhaoqing called out his name.

"I didn't expect that Marquis Changping actually knew my name." Qiu Liju was not very fluent in Chinese, but Liu Zhaoqing could understand him, and that was enough.

"Did you know I would come in advance?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"No." Qiu Liju shook his head.

"I thought it would be the Xianbei people."

"Ok?"

This made Liu Zhaoqing even more confused. In other words, the ambushes around here were originally intended to deal with the Xianbei people?

"It may be hard for Changping Hou to believe, but the purpose of our Wuhuan coming here is actually the same as yours."

"We all came here to crush the Xianbei."

Obviously, Liu Zhaoqing's goal was not only to destroy the Xianbei, but also to kill the Holy Spirit, and that Holy Spirit was also the Holy Spirit of Wuhuan.

It is impossible that Qiu Liju was unaware of his purpose. The reason why he avoided talking about it was to seek common ground while reserving differences and to demonstrate his intention to cooperate.

In response, Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do you want to... cooperate with me?"

"Yes." Qiu Liju nodded.

Liu Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows slightly.

How could this Qiuliju have such a big plan? He was the enemy of his people, the "culprit" who had killed 3,000 of his people and defeated his eastern tribe in one battle.

"Marquis Changping should have understood that the Xianbei's strength has grown to an alarming level. If we allow it to continue to develop, not only will our grasslands be ruled by the Xianbei, but even the Central Plains will be in danger." Qiuliju said.

"Moreover, the Xianbei people seem to be in alliance with us Wuhuan, but in essence they regard us as followers and slaves. If we Wuhuan people want to pay homage to the Holy Spirit, we must not only pay tribute to them with a large amount of treasures, but also prove our loyalty with our blood and lives."

"So, you are planning to stab the Xianbei in the back at this time? Become a spy?" Liu Zhaoqing said.

As soon as these words were spoken, the young man next to Qiu Liju immediately showed indignation on his face and clenched his fists, while Zhao Yun looked at him coldly with his hand on the long sword at his waist. If he dared to make any move, Zhao Yun would suddenly jump up and chop him down with his sword.

However, Qiu Liju just smiled happily at this.

"Marquis Changping is right. I am a treacherous and treacherous person. I am also a barbarian who does not understand etiquette and laws." Qiu Liju's smile gradually faded, and he said to Liu Zhaoqing seriously.

"So as long as the Wuhuan can survive and not be treated as 'cattle and sheep' or 'sacrifices', I am willing to go with them even if they are my enemies."

"If we miss this opportunity, not only will we die, but Wuhuan will also be annexed by Xianbei, and even our sacred mountain will be named 'Xianbei'. This shame is even worse than what you have done."

Qiu Liju's words made Liu Zhaoqing narrow his eyes slightly and think about various possibilities in his mind, but he did not answer immediately.

"What?" At this time, Qiu Liju also smiled and said slowly: "Marquis Changping was able to defeat the 50,000 scattered Wuhuan with only 40 cavalrymen, but now he dares not to conspire with me, his 'defeated general'?"

Qiu Liju was extending an invitation to Liu Zhaoqing, but in fact there was also an element of coercion.

After all, the ambushes around here were said to be prepared for the Xianbei, but Qiuliju did not let them withdraw at this time. Wasn't that just to remind Liu Zhaoqing?

"Roar!"

The big green tiger at the side bared its teeth at Qiuliju, then leaped up and pounced on him.

Qiuliju, who had already seen the tiger, did not change his expression at all. Luo Luo's green eyes flashed with ferocity, and he waved his sharp claws to tear apart the Hu man who was chasing the leader of his tribe.

But the young man next to Qiuliju came to Qiuliju's side at this time, blocked Luo Luo's claws with his arms, then grabbed Luo Luo's claws with both hands and threw him behind him.

With a loud bang, Luo Luo fell to the ground, and the surrounding Hu soldiers immediately rushed forward with swords to kill him.

At this time, Qiu Liju raised his hand and said lightly: "No need to do it."

Luo Luo got up from the ground, shook his dizzy head, and when he looked at Qiuliju again, there was still anger in his eyes. But this time, after seeing Liu Zhaoqing nodded at him, Luo Luo bared his teeth and growled at Qiuliju while walking to Liu Zhaoqing's side.

Luo Luo is not a stupid tiger. After this attempt, it knows that it cannot take revenge alone and can only follow Liu Zhaoqing.

Seeing this scene, the Hu people were very surprised.

The young man next to Qiu Liju also looked at Liu Zhaoqing in surprise, but Qiu Liju himself walked fearlessly to a distance from Qinghu who was about to hurt him.

He looked at Luo Luo, his expression full of envy: "To command auspicious beasts, even with the blessing of the Holy Spirit Ancestor, it is difficult to do. Now, Changping Hou can do it just like that... Hiss, how did that saying go?"

"'As easy as pie.'" said Zhang Liao, frowning.

"Right, right." Qiu Liju laughed twice and looked at Zhang Liao approvingly: "This cold-faced general of the Marquis of Changping is not only good at martial arts, but also very cultured."

"Looking at it this way, my defeat by the Marquis of Changping is not something to be ashamed of."

Qiu Liju was praising Liu Zhaoqing, and he did it in front of his own clansmen.

However, Liu Zhaoqing found that all the Wuhuan people, including the young man next to him, did not show any displeasure about this.

The "enemy" was right before their eyes, but they were able to endure it because of Qiuliju. This might be Qiuliju's deliberate display of his control and authority over Wuhuan to Liu Zhaoqing.

The purpose is very simple, which is to make Liu Zhaoqing feel more at ease to cooperate with him.

So after changing the subject, Qiu Liju looked at Liu Zhaoqing again and asked with a smile:

"So... after such a long time, the Marquis of Changping should have thought it over, right?"

Liu Zhaoqing was indeed thinking. He was trying to guess Qiu Liju's purpose and was also weighing the pros and cons of this matter.

"Before answering, I have a few more questions to ask King Wuhuan." Liu Zhaoqing said to Qiuliju.

"If you know, you must tell me."

Liu Zhaoqing nodded and said, "You said that the Xianbei wanted to swallow up your Wuhuan. I believe it."
