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

"Mr. Liu! It's Mr. Liu!"

"Ah? Why is Mr. Liu dressed like this? Is he in a hurry to meet someone?"

……

Every time Liu Zhaoqing appears, he causes a sensation, and this time is no exception.

But this time, Liu Zhaoqing did not, as usual, exchange too many polite words with the people who gave him face. Instead, he asked everyone to make way with a smile on his face but an obviously anxious expression.

He was like a loach in the water, causing the crowd to buzz, and then headed towards the butler's convoy.

The housekeeper also noticed Liu Zhaoqing at this time, and said in surprise: "Miss, look, isn't that Master Zhaoqing?"

Of course Xun Yu had seen it a long time ago, and when there was a commotion at the city gate, Xun Yu had already guessed that it must be Liu Zhaoqing who had heard the report from the soldier and came here in person.

In this way, Liu Zhaoqing walked through the crowd surrounding him and passed one Xun family carriage after another, but he did not find the person in his mind.

Finally, after another rickshaw passed by, a woman in white standing next to a familiar old rickshaw driver came into his sight.

Liu Zhaoqing stopped and looked at the more familiar woman.

He was speechless for a moment.

"Zhao Qing." It was the other party who spoke first and bowed to him.

Liu Zhaoqing quickly returned the greeting, then raised his head and asked tentatively, "Is it really... Wen Ruo?"

"There should be more than one person named Wenruo in the world, but I should be the only one in the Xun family with the name Wenruo, right, Uncle Liu?" Xun Yu asked the old housekeeper.

The old butler stroked his beard and smiled happily: "That's right, there is only one young lady in the world. Could it be that Master Zhao Qing has seen it wrong?"

"I'm not seeing things." Liu Zhaoqing explained quickly, tilted his head to look at Xun Yu, and rubbed his cheek with his right hand a little embarrassedly.

"I just didn't expect Wen Ruo to actually come here."

"And...with a family?"

"This matter is not long, but there are some twists and turns. If Zhaoqing doesn't mind, how about we go to the resting place and I will explain it to you in detail?" Xun Yu asked gently.

Liu Zhaoqing agreed, of course, and said to Zhang Liao, who followed and looked at Xun Yu with the same surprise, "Wenyuan, you will help lead the Xun family's convoy to the county residence in the city to rest first, and then find an empty house. I will go back and change my clothes first."

Liu Zhaoqing felt that he did not look very good. Not only was he wearing a "tortoise shell", but he also smelled of sweat all over. Fortunately, the other party was Xun Yu, so he did not show any discomfort or disgust.

After Liu Zhaoqing hurriedly left again, Xun Yu also bowed to Zhang Liao and said, "Zhang County Official..."

Halfway through the conversation, Xun Yu suddenly shook his head and said with a smile: "I was so happy that I forgot that I should call you 'General Zhang' now. Long time no see."

"Long time no see." Zhang Liao also hurriedly returned the greeting. Looking at Xun Yu, she also sighed: "Miss Xun is still the same as before, so... peaceful and elegant."

"It's only been less than three months, so I haven't changed much." Xun Yu looked at the female general with a high ponytail curiously, "On the contrary, General Zhang has changed a lot."

"I heard that General Zhang and Zhao Qing won a great victory at Wuhuan Mountain and earned the title of 'Cold-Faced God of War'..."

"Ahem, that's just what others call me. Miss Xun, don't call me that..." Zhang Liao interrupted with a dry cough.

Then, as if afraid that Xun Yu would talk about this topic for too long, he quickly got down to business and led the convoy.

Xun Yu smiled when he saw her shy look.

In this regard, Wenyuan is still the same as before.

After entering the city, Xun Yu wanted to settle his family before going to find Liu Zhaoqing, but Zhang Liao took the initiative to take over this task.

Moreover, Liu Zhaoqing's maid, Baoer, who had lively eyes and neatly braided hair, came to pick her up in person.

"Miss Xun, please follow me quickly. The head of the family is waiting anxiously, and even the lady wants to see you very much."

Together with Baoer, Xun Yu quickly arrived at Qing Mansion, and then met Liu Zhaoqing, who had just bathed and changed his clothes, in the living room.

Seeing Xun Yu coming, Liu Zhaoqing's eyes lit up, but he also took the initiative to apologize: "I was rude before. I went to see Wen Ruo without any preparation."

Xun Yu shook his head slightly, looked at Liu Zhaoqing, and smiled: "You don't care about your appearance just to see me. Your words and actions all treat me as water in the sand and jade in the Jingshan Mountain. How can this be disrespectful?"

"Moreover, the Xun family is in trouble, and you are willing to take my family in. I should be grateful to you." Xun Yu said politely.

Liu Zhaoqing waved his hands immediately after hearing this: "What nonsense! It is my honor to have the Xun family come to my Changping."

This is not an exaggeration at all; it is indeed the truth.

No matter where the Xun family of Yingchuan goes, they will be treated as the most distinguished guests. Even if the Xun family needs to seek refuge, there are better places to go in Hebei.

For example, if you go to Jizhou and go to Han Fu, no matter how useless Han Fu is, he will recognize the name of "Xun family" and will definitely treat you warmly.

Jizhou occupies the most prosperous land in Hebei. If the Xun family goes there, their treatment may even be better than in the capital.

However, Xun Yu chose Liu Zhaoqing and chose Changping City, which was a deserted place a month ago.

The reason for this is of course Liu Zhaoqing.

Because of his warm invitation and sincerity, most of the Xun family members, led by Xun Yu, went to him instead of choosing any other place.

Hearing Liu Zhaoqing's politeness, Xun Yu was about to say something else, but at this time, a thin but energetic woman walked in from outside.

She couldn't help laughing, looking at the two of them, speechless and amused.

"I say, Sister Wen Ruo and the Lord, why have you suddenly become so polite? Shouldn't you two be very familiar with each other? Three months ago, you fought against He and killed the eunuchs together in the court, and you have not lost contact even though you are thousands of miles apart."

"One wrote me three letters in Luoyang, urging me to go to Changping. One night, he stood outside the corridor and looked up at the moon in Luoyang..."

"Well, Fengxiao, you're here, please sit down first!" Seeing that Guo Jia was about to tear off their reserve, Liu Zhaoqing pretended to be surprised and quickly interrupted her.

Xun Yu also felt helpless when he saw Guo Jia. As friends for many years, they could talk about anything. However, the clever Feng Xiao probably felt that she and Zhao Qing were a little strange, so he came to help narrow the distance between them.

It was well-intentioned, but it put Xun Yu and Liu Zhaoqing into a dilemma.

Fortunately, Liu Zhaoqing reacted quickly and immediately asked why Guo Jia came at this time.

Guo Jia also replied that she was originally checking the accounts and statistics of the money needed for post-war construction, recovery and compassion in the official residence with Bo Cai and others to see if there was any problem.

But after Baoer went over and told her that Xun Yu had arrived, Guo Jia of course came over to take a look immediately.

"But, speaking of this." Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu curiously: "Sister Wen Ruo, why did you choose to come to Changping at this time?"

This was certainly not a mockery, mainly because Liu Zhaoqing had invited Xun Yu many times, and even Guo Jia himself had said in a letter to him long ago that Luoyang would surely fall into chaos again after the death of He Jin's Ten Attendants.

He should leave Luoyang and live away from the world for a while before going back, but Xun Yu and the Xun family attached great importance to the Han Dynasty. Even after experiencing major events such as the Xiyuan Rebellion and the evil spirit disaster, Xun Yu still felt that there was hope for the revival of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Zhaoqing pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because... Dong Zhuo is going to take action?"

Liu Zhaoqing's guess was correct. Xun Yu nodded slightly and said, "Besides, the former emperor was deposed, and the court has become Dong Zhuo's world. No prince inside or outside the pass can fight him alone."

"The most important thing is that after Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo issued a 'submission order' to all the nobles in Luoyang. It would be great if she could win everything in the future."

"But if she suffers a setback, I think the nobles or even the entire Luoyang will become a tool for her to vent her anger."

"The world is in chaos, and it is inevitable that many heroes will rise up. Staying in Luoyang will not only make no contribution to the peace of the world, but may even be implicated by the traitorous ministers in anger."

Xun Yu raised his head and looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "The anti-Dong trend that Zhaoqing mentioned has now appeared. In order to preserve the Xun family, I can only persuade the clansmen who are willing to follow me to leave Luoyang."

As for why he chose to come to Changping, Xun Yu didn't need to explain much.

After hearing this, Guo Jia nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Luoyang or the entire Sili will surely be a place of war in the future. It will be normal for the people to suffer. It will not be uncommon for the nobles who do not follow Dong Zhuo's wishes to become blood sacrifices."

After that, Guo Jia asked Xun Yu, "Sister Wen Ruo, how do you feel about your first day in Changping?"

"It feels..." Xun Yu pondered for a moment, "It's very wonderful."

"wonderful?"

Xun Yu repeated his old butler's sigh.

After hearing this, Guo Jia was also surprised, and then looked at Liu Zhaoqing: "My lord, didn't you tell Sister Wen Ruo?"

"Speak?" Xun Yu looked at Liu Zhaoqing puzzledly.

Liu Zhaoqing cleared his throat and explained, "Because Luoyang is blocked by Dong Zhuo, if I talk about that, wouldn't it be directly exposing my identity? The letter probably won't reach Wen Ruo."

"Then, what exactly happened?" Xun Yu asked.

Guo Jia then told Xun Yu about Liu Zhaoqing's epic victory over the Xianbei in Mobei.

After hearing this, Xun Yu couldn't believe his ears.

"really?"

Liu Zhaoqing smiled and said, "Of course it's true. If Wen Ruo doesn't believe it, he can ask those princes. However, those princes may not be willing to mention the embarrassing things that made them embarrassed."

Xun Yu pondered for a moment, then immediately said: "Well, can you tell me in detail?"

Liu Zhaoqing looked at Guo Jia, but Guo Jia smiled and shook his head: "I still have some accounts to check, so I'll trouble you to inform Sister Wen Ruo."

By the time Liu Zhaoqing told Xun Yu everything that had happened, at least two hours had passed since Xun Yu arrived at Qing Mansion.

As the "first-person perspective" and the absolute protagonist of the Battle of Mobei, Xun Yu is probably the person in the world who knows the details of this battle best, except for Liu Zhaoqing's relatives and confidants.

After talking for two hours, Liu Zhaoqing felt thirsty and took a sip of tea. "This is how it happened. Of course, luck also played a big part in it. If I hadn't had so many people helping me, I wouldn't have been able to do this."

After saying this, he noticed that Xun Yu sat in his seat for a long time without answering, so he asked in confusion.

Xun Yu raised his head, looked at Liu Zhaoqing, and sighed sincerely: "The late emperor... was right."

"what?"

How does it involve Liu Hong?

"One battle to conquer Mobei... Zhaoqing, have you ever thought that if it were in troubled times, you could become a king or an emperor with this achievement?"

"..."

-

Later, Zhang Jiao also came back from outside. When she saw Xun Yu, a look of joy appeared on her face.

When Xun Yu saluted her, Zhang Jiao held her back.

Although they did not know each other, Zhang Jiao had been exchanging letters with Xun Yu since their time in Pingyuan because Liu Zhaoqing was imprisoned.

The two had talked a lot in their letters, and Zhang Jiao also admired such a white lotus-like woman very much.

Now that they finally met, she was as happy as Liu Zhaoqing.

While Zhang Jiao was talking to Xun Yu, Liu Zhaoqing also went to find Zhang Liao and personally arranged accommodation for the Xun family.

It was already late at night when Liu Zhaoqing returned, and he did not go to look for Xun Yu who was resting in the mansion.

She has been traveling so long that she should have a good rest now.

By the next morning, it was Xun Yu who found him first.

"Wen Ruo got up so early?"

Liu Zhaoqing, who was waving a sword in the yard, was surprised to see Xun Yu appear beside the flowers not far away.

It was just getting light in the sky, and according to my usual timekeeping method, it was just before six o'clock.

"There are many things lingering in my mind. I wanted to discuss it with Zhao Qing in detail, but seeing that Zhao Qing was tired, I..."

It turned out that I didn't look for Xun Yu last night, but instead kept her awake.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Putting away the sword, Liu Zhaoqing said to the little girl not far away: "Go call Baoer and make something hot. I'll talk to Wen Ruo here."

The latter nodded, then nodded to Xun Yu, and went to Baoer's residence with an expressionless face.

Xun Yu looked at the little girl's back. When Liu Zhaoqing saw her gaze, she smiled and explained, "The little girl is Jiao'er's cousin. She is not cold and aloof. She can take the initiative to greet people. I rarely see that."

This proves that Xun Yu is also a person worthy of respect in my daughter's eyes.

"Although Changping is small, all the maids around Zhao Qing are very famous. It seems that I am nothing special." Xun Yu sighed.

"You can't say that." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head, looked at Xun Yu and said seriously: "Wen Ruo is the most special in my eyes."

Baoer and Xiaonu are outstanding people because of the Book of Earth, and are not suitable for ordinary judging standards. On the contrary, Xun Yu is a true outstanding person.

And he is a best friend among friends who is willing to give you advice and help you sincerely.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't notice that what he said was a bit strange, which made Xun Yu feel moved, and his eyes unconsciously shifted to the other side.

"Let's sit down in the pavilion first. I met Fengxiao last night and asked him a lot of questions, but there's more I want to hear from you," Xun Yu suggested.

Liu Zhaoqing readily agreed.

In the early morning before the sun rose, the two were in the pavilion. Xun Yu asked about the situation in Hebei and Changping over the past two months, and Liu Zhaoqing answered her everything she knew.
