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

-

After the banquet, Liu He, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao went back to rest, and only Liu Bei stayed in the mansion and sat with Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao smiled at her: "Thank you Sister Xuande for coming over."

"It should be done. Zhao Qing and Madam Zhang have helped Pingyuan and me as well."

"Then...Sister Xuande, are you here just to return a favor?" Zhang Jiao asked softly.

"This one……"

Liu Bei didn't know how to answer, but he saw Zhang Jiao covering her mouth and laughing.

Baoer beside him also started to laugh.

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing also came to the living room. After seeing Liu He off, he felt a little thirsty and quickly drank a few sips of tea.

"What are you talking about? You're laughing so happily?" Liu Zhaoqing asked while drinking water.

"Qingjun, please don't ask too much about the secrets between women." Zhang Jiao said.

"Ah?" Liu Zhaoqing didn't quite understand, but when he looked at Liu Bei, he found that the other party avoided his gaze, which made him even more confused.

However, this did not prevent Liu Zhaoqing from expressing his gratitude to Liu Bei after putting down the cup.

"Fortunately, Sister Xuande and my second and third sisters came to help, otherwise I would have disappeared in that dead roc." Liu Zhaoqing said.

Liu Bei also hurriedly shook his head, and Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "Then does Qingjun know how Sister Xuande helped Qingjun?"

"Isn't it a dragon?"

"It turned into a dragon, but Qingjun, do you know that Sister Xuande has a potential that helped a lot? That's why Qingjun was able to recover quickly after escaping from the Peng bird."

"Oh? Is there anything else like this?"

"Yes, I only learned about it when Sister Xuande helped me, and that potential is..."

Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled, "What is it?"

"Don't!" Liu Bei said quickly, "Don't say it!"

Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Bei, then smiled again: "Sorry, it seems that this is also... a secret between women."

"If Qingjun wants to know, you might as well go back and ask Sister Xuande in private. Maybe there will be a surprise."

"Ah? Surprise?" Liu Zhaoqing followed Zhang Jiao's gaze and looked at Liu Bei, but his eyes went straight to where he shouldn't have.

Fortunately, Liu Bei lowered his head and did not notice the two people's gazes.

"Cough cough." Liu Zhaoqing coughed twice.

Then he couldn't help but pretend to be angry and secretly glanced at Zhang Jiao. His wife almost led him into a trap.

Fortunately, Liu Bei did not look up, otherwise if he saw the two of them looking at her proudly with strange eyes, it would not be as simple as the current embarrassment.

"Don't blame me, Sister Xuande. Jiao'er is like this when she's in a good mood. She likes to play tricks on people she knows." Liu Zhaoqing said, "But she doesn't mean any harm."

Liu Bei nodded slightly, then looked at Zhang Jiao: "Thank you, Madam Zhang."

Liu Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this and opened his mouth slightly. He didn't expect Liu Bei to react like this.

Zhang Jiao, who was sitting in front of the giggling Baoer, also looked at her husband with a smile. Although she didn't say a word, her bright eyes seemed to be saying, "Look, she has to thank me."

In my impression, when she first got together with Zhang Jiao, she was very serious. After all, she came from a poor family and was not an ordinary commoner. But as she spent more time with Liu Zhaoqing, she was influenced by many of Liu Zhaoqing's concepts and ideas that were different from those of this era, and as a result, she became less rigid.

However, this is certainly a good thing. Even if it is just a prank, with Zhang Jiao's wisdom she knows where the "degree" is. And as Zhang Jiao said, there are some secrets between women that Liu Zhaoqing really doesn't understand, so Liu Zhaoqing doesn't need to worry too much.

"Sister Xuande and Yide Yunchang have been in Youzhou for almost half a month. Will there be any problems in Pingyuan?" Liu Zhaoqing changed the subject and asked Liu Bei about Pingyuan.

"Pingyuan is now on the right track. With Guo Ceng and Xianhe in charge, there won't be any major problems. Even if there are any, they will send me a letter." Liu Bei's answer also made Liu Zhaoqing feel relieved.

Tian Yu and Jian Yong, one is a good general who is both civil and military, and the other is a master of internal affairs management. Both are initial team members that Liu Bei can trust and can indeed be entrusted with important tasks.

Then Liu Zhaoqing asked the question he was curious about, which was how Liu Bei attracted Huang Tian, ​​and Liu Bei looked at Zhang Jiao. To be honest, she herself was not quite sure how she did it.

"Qingjun, have you forgotten? Is Sister Xuande just an ordinary person in your heart?" Zhang Jiao said with a smile.

These words seemed a bit strange to Liu Bei, as if he was asking what Liu Zhaoqing thought of her.

However, Liu Zhaoqing immediately understood the hidden meaning of Zhang Jiao's words, and after a little surprise, he said: "Returning to my heart... If that's the case, Sister Xuande and Jiao'er both belong to me, so I can naturally cooperate with Jiao'er."

He understood, but it seemed he didn't understand.

However, Zhang Jiao was very satisfied with this answer and asked Liu Bei, "Sister Xuande should be relieved now, right?"

"What are you worried about?" Liu Zhaoqing was puzzled. It sounded a bit weird.

"Only Bao'er, Qingjun and I know that Sister Xuande can transform into a dragon. These people are people Sister Xuande can trust." Zhang Jiao explained.

Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei nodded at the same time in sudden realization. This turned out to be what Zhang Jiao meant.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Although Zhang Jiao had been drinking tea, under the moonlight late at night, she, in her light yellow dress, looked like a puppeteer, holding two little figures and performing her own drama.

However, at this time, Zhang Jiao seemed to feel that the fun was gradually disappearing, or she felt that she was doing something useless, and she did not speak again until Baoer approached Zhang Jiao's ear and said a few words.

Zhang Jiao realized that the reason seemed to be hers, and immediately smiled: "It was me who was forcing the issue."

“???” Why does my wife always say weird things tonight?

"Well, why didn't I see Fengxiao?" Liu Bei suddenly changed the subject at this time.

"I just saw her at the banquet. I haven't seen her since the banquet. Zhao Qing has such a great talent. I also want to ask for advice on the governance of the plains."

After Liu Bei said this, Liu Zhaoqing also remembered: "Yes, my daughter is the same."

"I remember she was there at the banquet, but she suddenly disappeared. Baoer, do you know where they went?"

Baoer shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then Liu Zhaoqing and others saw Guo Jia, his daughter, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao walking towards this side.

Apart from them, there was no other outsider. Even the servants who were guarding the door and the yard were sent away by Guo Jia.

This made Liu Zhaoqing put away his relaxed expression and slowly put down the tea bowl.

He realized that Guo Jia must have something important to explain to him.

Sure enough, after Guo Jia brought Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun into the room, Liu Zhaoqing and others noticed that Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and the little girl each had a long box of different sizes in their hands.

All three boxes are made of mahogany. You can tell from their appearance that they are expensive, so naturally the things inside these expensive boxes must be of great value.

"Please ask Wenyuan, Zilong and my daughter to put the box on the table." Guo Jia nodded to the two generals and the daughter.

After the three of them did as they were told, Liu Zhaoqing looked at the three boxes with a puzzled look on his face: "Fengxiao, what... is this?"

"It was delivered by Budugen himself just now."

"Budugen?" Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei were both stunned.

Isn’t that the leader of the Xianbei tribe, and the one with more say? What could the thing he personally delivered be?

"Well." Guo Jia looked at the box with a serious face, "Because he said that each of these three things is too important and... dangerous, so I also found two generals, and asked the lady's adopted sister to help take care of it."

It was so dangerous that even Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were found. What on earth was this thing?

Liu Zhaoqing looked at Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, and the two girls shook their heads. They had just returned and were found by Guo Jia on the way. Guo Jia only said that this thing was very important and must not be lost. As for what was inside, Guo Jia did not explain.

"Since it was sent by Budugen, it should be something from the grassland." Zhang Jiao said, "Qingjun, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Liu Zhaoqing opened the first box.

Lying inside was an extremely luxurious hat, which was completely golden. There were not only a roc and a goshawk outlined with gold threads on the hat, but their eyes were embellished with sparkling jewels. There were also two real dragons embroidered on the curtain behind the hat.

"Such majesty, such workmanship... could this be the Chanyu's crown?" Zhang Liao guessed in surprise.

"It looks like it's made of natural silk, and the craftsmanship is quite complicated. It must have been made by more than one person." Liu Bei looked at the exquisite patterns and gems on the crown.

"It seems to be custom-made. It seems that those Hu people are quite concerned about it." Zhang Jiao couldn't help but smile as she looked at the crown.

"This thing is indeed valuable." Guo Jia also nodded.

It is not only the commodity value that is high, but more importantly the identity and meaning it represents.

"No one has ever made the foreigners so convinced." Zhao Yun said softly, and then looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "My lord, you said before that the barbarians fear power but not virtue. Now it seems to be true."

Liu Zhaoqing took out his hat and looked at it, but did not put it on and put it back.

"My lord, not only did you defeat them, but you also proved that the northern barbarians are not ignorant beasts after all." Guo Jia said as he looked at this crown of extraordinary significance.

"That's where people like Tan Shihuai come from. The tribal leaders who submit to the lord care about the lord's future. Otherwise, it's impossible for them to be so afraid of the failure of a battle."

"The reason why the Northern Hu, who like to fight and value power, recognize Zhao Qing as their leader is that they want to get a better tomorrow from Zhao Qing." Liu Bei also nodded slightly to agree with Guo Jia's opinion.

Not only her, but everyone present, including Liu Zhaoqing, knew that the reason the barbarians surrendered was because Liu Zhaoqing had demonstrated enough strength, making them believe that following Liu Zhaoqing would surely lead the entire tribe to great success in the future.

And if any major accident occurs, such as Liu Zhaoqing's sudden death, then I am afraid these alien races will scatter.

"However, even if they are still not sincere in surrendering now, it doesn't matter." Guo Jia smiled, "As long as we become stronger and stronger, then in the long run, with the foundation of our Chinese civilization, the northern barbarians will eventually be assimilated by us and become part of our forces."

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this, and then everyone looked at the second box.

The first one is such a "heavyweight" item as the Chanyu's crown, so what is the second one?

It was still opened by Liu Zhaoqing himself, and the moment the second box was opened, everyone's expressions were not of surprise but silence.

"This thing is still here?" Liu Bei said softly.

"I thought it disappeared too." Liu Zhaoqing said as he looked at the things in the box.

There were twelve tiny fragments in the box, which were the fragments of Chixiao. Liu Zhaoqing thought that when he used their power to break open the Pengniao Inner Sea, these things should have turned into nothingness, but he did not expect that they were all found by the Xianbei people.

“However, it looks like it has been badly damaged and it probably cannot be restored to its original appearance.” Zhang Liao said as he looked at the fragments in the box.

"But there is still a trace of power in it, which means that the fragment still contains the destiny of our great ancestor." Zhang Jiao held up her chin. "Although it is of no great use to Qingjun for the time being, it may be useful in the future. This item must be kept well."

"Is it safe to leave such an important thing with us?" Baoer suddenly said.

"It doesn't matter. The power of the fragments has disappeared completely. Now the remaining destiny can only cause shocking changes in heaven and earth, and it can't do anything." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head.

"This thing must not be leaked out. A false emperor has already appeared. If it is leaked out, more false emperors may appear in the world." Liu Bei also spoke up.

After looking at the second item, Liu Zhaoqing opened the third box.

I thought the third box would be as "ordinary" as the first two, but when Liu Zhaoqing opened it, a cold wind suddenly blew around.

"Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao!" Guo Jia shouted immediately.

The two women immediately stretched out their hands and released two golden rays of light, which went straight into the box that was emitting a black aura and suppressed it in an instant.

After waiting for the strong winds around them to slowly subside, Baoer, Liu Bei and others looked at the box with lingering fear.

"What on earth is this? So scary?"

Liu Zhaoqing frowned slightly: "It's that... bone sword."

"Bone sword?"

The darkness in the box slowly dissipated, and a long sword made of unknown bones lay quietly in it. There was still dark mist flowing between the bones, revealing an evil aura.

"This thing should be made of the skeleton of an evil spirit." Guo Jia's eyes lit up with golden light and he said with a slightly weak look on his face.

Her divine eyes could see through the essence of things, and she immediately saw through their origins.

"Is it useful to us?" Zhang Jiao asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia shook his head slightly: "Tan Shihuai used it to control the dead roc because the dead roc was killed by it, and Tan Shihuai himself was seriously corroded by it. Even if he didn't die at the hands of the lord, he probably wouldn't live for more than a few years."

If the first two items are valuable, then this one is purely "dangerous". No wonder Guo Jia asked Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao to come together.

"Then this thing... should be destroyed." Liu Bei said with a frown.

"If the artifact fragments were to be lost, it might cause more chaos in the world, but that's just a possibility. But if this thing were to be lost outside, it would truly be a disaster comparable to the plague."

As for the disposal of this thing, Liu Bei, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, even Guo Jia and Baoer all nodded and agreed that it should be destroyed.

So much so that Liu Zhaoqing himself thought so.

After all, his own strength does not need the assistance of such evil things, and he is not short of magical weapons. Although the weapons of people around him, such as Zhang Liao, were damaged in the Battle of Mobei, he can't let her "fall into the evil way".

Just when the disposal of this item was about to be finalized, Zhang Jiao suddenly suggested that someone come over to take a look.

No one expected that the person was actually Lu Hong.

Not long after, Lu Hong, wearing a light pink long dress, was brought into the hall by Baoer.
