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

"Mi'er is not young anymore, she is already twelve years old!" Zhen Mi puffed out her chest and said seriously.

"And sir, just consider that Youyou has worked so hard, and Mi'er took a long time to persuade my uncle to donate an extra 100,000 yuan to Changping City..." Zhen Mi suddenly shook Liu Zhaoqing's arm.

I don't know where this spoiled childishness was learned from, Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'll write it to you later."

"Thank you, sir!"

-

After Liu Zhaoqing went to the next room and wrote "A Letter to the Princes" in front of Zhen Mi, the smile on Zhen Mi's face never faded as she looked at the poem.

Then he bowed to Liu Zhaoqing to express his gratitude and left in a jump. At this time Liu Zhaoqing happened to see Zhang Jiao coming out of the living room.

"Zhen Mi was a very quiet child when we first met her, but I didn't expect her to be so lively now." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head and complained helplessly.

Zhang Jiao smiled: "Of course you have to be more proactive and lively with the boy you like, otherwise you won't be like Sister Xuande, unable to catch him, right?"

"You, Jiao'er, what are you talking about?" Liu Zhaoqing was really serious this time.

"Zhen Mi is only twelve, and her feelings towards me are admiration."

"Qingjun, don't you think that a 26-year-old doesn't know anything?" Zhang Jiao looked at the direction where Zhen Mi left. "As for age... that is indeed a problem."

"But, it is rumored that some people's awakening will cause their physique and body size to change and grow... However, Qingjun is not that kind of person."

Liu Zhaoqing was just about to nod and praise his wife for understanding him.

But Zhang Jiao unexpectedly changed the subject and said again: "After all, Qingjun has many confidantes in Luoyang, for example, Wen Ruo?"

"By the way, didn't Qingjun invite Wenruo to come here?"

"I had originally planned to go to Luoyang in person to invite him, but now that this has happened, I can only tell you in the letter. If all goes well, Wen Ruo should have received the letter by now." After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he found that he seemed to have been tricked by Zhang Jiao.

After a dry cough, Liu Zhaoqing said seriously, "But it's still uncertain whether she will come or not."

Liu Zhaoqing recalled that in his previous life, Xun Yu seemed to have left the capital, but he actually served under Yuan Shao. Later, because Cao Cao held the emperor hostage, he became a member of Cao Cao's staff.

"So, I can only wait for Wen Ruo's reply."

"By the way, why don't I see Wenyuan?" Liu Zhaoqing found that he hadn't seen Zhang Liao since he came back.

"She is still in Jicheng. Although Changping City was defended in the previous siege, the city walls and surrounding areas were severely damaged. A large amount of building materials and professional workers are needed to repair them." Zhang Jiao replied.

"But I should be back tomorrow morning."

Nodding, Liu Zhaoqing sighed and said, "Then, the next step is to wait."

"I'll go back to my room and make the bed first." Zhang Jiao said, then left and went to the side room.

Then Liu Zhaoqing saw a beautiful woman in a red dress walking around the corner of the corridor.

"Qing...Jun." Lu Hong didn't know whether she was shy or unaccustomed to it. She was not as familiar with this title as Zhang Jiao.

"What's wrong with Hong'er? Do you miss me?" Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.

"I've been worried that Qingjun might..."

"I can swim freely among the rocs, how could there be any danger?" Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Madam told me that Qingjun was in great danger on the Peng bird that day. It's not as easy as she said." Lu Hong complained.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't lie. He immediately changed the subject awkwardly and said, "Hong'er, you want to ask about Lu Bu, right?"

Lu Hong had waited until now to see him alone, and she had also heard Guo Jia talk about Cao Cao being hunted by Lu Bu in the guest hall.

"Yeah." Lu Hong nodded gently, clenched her right hand in front of her chest, and worry was revealed in her sentimental eyes.

"How could Xian'er be in league with Dong Zhuo? This shouldn't have happened... Father and I have always wanted her to serve the country."

"Maybe... she also has her own unspeakable secrets, or she has a different understanding." Liu Zhaoqing was also unable to guess why Lu Bu was with Dong Zhuo.

The history of the previous life can only serve as a reference for the present. The Lu Bu here is Lu Hong's sister, who has been baptized with a good outlook on life. But even so, she still killed Ding Yuan and defected to Dong Zhuo.

Destiny is indeed a scary thing sometimes, and not everyone has the ability like Liu Zhaoqing.

"But Hong'er can also take this as good news. Not only is Lu Bu safe and sound, but he also received the Red Hare as a reward from Dong Zhuo. He must be highly valued by Dong Zhuo," Liu Zhaoqing comforted.

Lv Hong also knew this, but now she was even more worried: "But, just now the military advisor and Qingjun said that the world will be in chaos, and the princes will unite to fight against Dong..."

Although Lu Hong did not continue, Liu Zhaoqing understood what she meant. If Dong Zhuo was conquered, Lu Bu, who "aided and abetted Zhou's evil", would certainly not have a good end.

Liu Zhaoqing couldn't predict what would happen next, but there was one thing he could guarantee to Lu Hong.

"I think Hong'er doesn't need to worry about this..." Liu Zhaoqing said and shook his head.

"This coalition army formed by those princes with ulterior motives to fight against Dong Zhuo, even if they can't defeat Dong Zhuo, it can probably be considered a success if they can scare him."

-

The next day, Liu Zhaoqing sent Liu, Guan and Zhang away from Changping.

The troubled times are coming, and Liu Bei is about to officially embark on his own path, and Liu Zhaoqing can now provide some help in this regard.

For example, Liu Zhaoqing could give some of the war horses taken from Mobei to Liu Bei, and he could also provide a long-term supply in the future.

The meteorite that fell from the sky also gave Liu Bei two carts, which were good for making top-grade weapons. Zhang Fei was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear.

When Liu Zhaoqing wanted to give Liu Bei some more gifts, Liu Bei declined, but Liu Zhaoqing forced him to give them back.

Not only did Liu Bei come from afar to support Liu Zhaoqing, but he also transformed into a blue and red dragon in the Battle of Mobei and truly saved Liu Zhaoqing's body. He also helped defeat Tan Shihuai and finally caught himself.

Such kindness cannot be measured by war horses, meteorite iron, money, or jewelry.

"Zhao Qing's gift is so generous... If Guo Rang and Xian He saw it, they would think I sold Pingyuan City." Liu Bei sighed as he looked at the five carriages and the team of war horses at least ten feet long behind him.

Liu Zhaoqing laughed out loud: "I didn't expect Sister Xuande to have such a humorous side."

"This is nothing compared to the kindness Sister Xuande has shown me."

Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing looked at the dozen cavalrymen beside the convoy and said, "With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei here, I will send another fifteen Yellow Turban cavalrymen to escort you. Sister Xuande doesn't have to worry about any danger on the road. This batch of things should be able to be safely delivered back to Pingyuan."

Liu Bei nodded: "Thank you Zhao Qing."

"What's there to talk about thank you between you and me?"

Liu Zhaoqing smiled, then slowly calmed down, and became more cheerful. He bowed and said to Liu Bei, "Then I hope Sister Xuande will take care of herself on this journey."

"We'll see you then."

"Yes." Liu Bei nodded and replied seriously: "See you then."

-

In this way, a few more days passed, and it was May 23rd of the sixth year of Zhongping.

Liu Zhaoqing had held a city-wide memorial service for the dead soldiers, appeased the people, and once again vigorously promoted the new equal-field policy.

Changping recovered extremely quickly, and the surrounding land became easier to cultivate because of the collapse of the destiny.

And because the Peng bird returned to heaven and earth, the yellow sand that had been invading Youzhou for a long time finally disappeared.

Since the Battle of Mobei, pure blue sky could be seen in Changping City for seven or eight consecutive days.

During this period, Liu Zhaoqing also went to Jicheng to meet with Liu Yu. Liu Yu also agreed with Liu Zhaoqing's inference and listened to Liu Zhaoqing's advice to keep his troops in place for the time being.

Liu Yu's identity was rather special; he was the heir apparent of the Han royal family, not an ordinary vassal.

Moreover, Liu Yu himself could see the ambitions of the princes. As a man who was truly devoted to the Han Dynasty, he did not want to see the princes taking advantage of the chaos in the world to do what Dong Zhuo did in the name of fighting the enemy and clearing the court.

Therefore, Liu Zhaoqing actually had his own independent space. He could use his own name, but he could also represent part of Liu Yu's intentions and participate in the upcoming coalition.

After returning to Changping, Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao for advice on archery and swordsmanship.

I learned my martial arts purely through self-study, and it can be said that I have no method at all. I have always wanted to learn orthodox martial arts systematically, but I have never had the opportunity.

During this time, Liu Zhaoqing learned martial arts from his two generals, but the effect did not seem very good.

As a great and virtuous teacher and the lady of the Qing Mansion, Zhang Jiao was also not idle. While preaching the doctrine to the newly arrived refugees, Zhang Jiao, together with Baoer, Liu Pi, Bo Cai and others, also taught the Yellow Turban people in Changping City how to read and write, as well as some basic farming knowledge.

According to Liu Zhaoqing's words, Jiao'er has now truly become a "good teacher".

Just when things were thriving and getting better and better, Liu Zhaoqing welcomed a special guest one day.

A team of carriages arrived in front of Changping City.

The soldiers guarding the gate were puzzled when they saw the design of the carriage.

This was not a merchant carriage, nor did it look like it came from Jicheng. Moreover, a white satin was tied to the tail of each horse pulling the carriage.

Obviously, these are even less likely to be refugees.

Fearing that it might be a spy from the hateful Hebei princes or someone with ill intentions, the gatekeeper immediately stopped the vehicle and told the convoy to go and report first.

"Suspicious convoy?"

Liu Zhaoqing, who was practicing boxing with Zhang Liao under a big tree in the training ground, was also confused when he heard the report from the soldier.

When the soldier said that the horse's tail was tied with white satin, he was also surprised.

Then he pulled him up from his knees and said, "Quick, take me over!"

"Hey, benefactor, you haven't changed your armor yet!" Zhang Liao said quickly.

"Change later! Wenyuan, come quickly too, she's finally here!" Liu Zhaoqing said without turning his head, not caring at all that the armor used for training did not match his clothes.

she?

Zhang Liao was puzzled for a moment, and suddenly she was stunned. She remembered who it was.

The visitor who could make the benefactor so excited must be... her.

At this time, outside the door, in the center of the convoy, the driver told the people in the carriage what had happened.

"Even a small gatekeeper can be so cautious. It seems that...Qing Jun's ability to govern is not inferior to Lord Bo'an."

A calm but emotional voice came from the car.

The car curtain was opened from the inside, and a gentle, calm, graceful and noble woman in white got out of the car.

She looked at the Changping City under the green grass and sunlight, and a look of relief appeared in her eyes.

"finally……"

"I am coming."

Chapter 241 How could you be disrespectful?

"This place is a little different from... what I remember." Because he had to wait for the gatekeepers to report the results, the old butler who was driving the carriage had the leisure to observe his surroundings.

"I remember that Liu Bo is from Youzhou, right?" Xun Yu in white asked, tilting his head.

"Yes, I am from Yuyang County. Although I entered the Xun Mansion when I was eight years old, I have returned to my hometown once or twice every one or two years over the years. The last time I went back to Yuyang was at the end of last year."

The old housekeeper looked around and said, "But at that time, when I passed by Changping, not only had Changping City long since become a ruin, with less than one zhang of the city wall intact, but the surrounding environment was nothing like... it is now."

"Miss, look at the grass, look at the flowers, and is that wheat over there? I can't believe I can see something like this in the northern border of Youzhou."

The gray-haired old butler looked around in amazement.

"The destiny of the country was shattered, but it benefited the land." Xun Yu looked at the lush green land around him, "This is the destiny of the country. The dynasty lost its luck, but it returned to heaven and earth."

The old butler didn't understand what Xun Yu said, but the young lady was knowledgeable and very smart since she was a child. He was used to her saying things that this old man didn't understand.

He suddenly realized a problem: "Oh, by the way, why is there no wind and sand?"

The old housekeeper looked up at the blue sky in confusion and scratched his gray hair. "The sandstorm has been going on for years, and the officials in the court and Youzhou have no way to control it. Last year, I passed by Changping and walked ten miles and ate about three kilograms of sand. Now... how did it become like this?"

Xun Yu was also aware of the years of sandstorms and beast tides that had plagued Youzhou.

Reports from officials coming to Beijing from Youzhou could often be heard, but Emperor Lingdi at that time completely ignored them. With the Ten Eunuchs and He Jin in power, the court could not provide any help at all.

Now the sandstorm has disappeared, and Xun Yu also discovered some details that ordinary people cannot see.

That is, among the people passing by the parked caravan heading to Changping City, in addition to many refugees and merchants, she actually saw quite a few Hu people who were obviously dressed as foreigners.

About one in fifteen people entering the city has this condition, which is a very high ratio.

"It seems that Zhao Qing has something to tell me." Xun Yu said softly.

"Ah? It can't be that Master Zhaoqing is hiding something from the young lady, right? Is it something bad?" the butler muttered.

"That shouldn't be the case. When Young Master Zhao Qing was in Luoyang, he and Miss talked about everything. He should have told her even if it was something bad..."

"Uncle Liu might as well ask him directly." Xun Yu said with a smile.

The old butler also raised his head at this time, and then saw a sudden commotion among the crowd at the city gate in the distance.
