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

"How dare a weed bargain with God?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people all looked despairing.

Yes, God regards the people as grass, so how could He listen to the petitions of grass?

In one day, the land turned into a swamp. In two days, corpses were everywhere. In three days, no one survived.

Liu Zhaoqing's words just now echoed in the hearts of every citizen. For a moment, except for the roar of the Yellow River in the distance, no one of the densely populated people outside Pingyuan County made a sound.

"Then...then what should we do?" The sturdy man closest to him looked up in confusion and looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

"Your Excellency, the county magistrate...your Excellencies...please tell us, the people, what we should do to survive."

"Yes, sir..."

"..."

Countless people began to beg the people on the altar, and many were even crying.

Liu, Guan and Zhang all had extremely gloomy expressions, only one of them still held his sword with confusion in his eyes.

"Yes, we just want to survive... why doesn't the heaven allow us to do so?" Liu Zhaoqing raised his head and slowly put down his sword.

"If the heavens do not bless the people and do not respond to the wishes of all living beings, then what is the use of them?"

In an instant, dark clouds came from the sky like smoke, and strong winds began to rise from all directions without warning and swept towards Liu Zhaoqing.

Under the flashing thunder, his clothes fluttered wildly, but he did not take a single step back.

But this time, although the heaven was so angry, not many people knelt on the ground to beg. They all looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

"Sir, please give the people of Pingyuan a clear way out!"

"Please give the people a clear way out!"

"..."

"In the face of a great disaster, there is no one to turn to. If God does not favor me, how can I survive? No... I should not give up, my people..." Liu Zhaoqing suddenly spoke loudly again.

"Since Heaven will not bless the people, then we must take Heaven's orders!"

"boom!!!"

Several thunderbolts struck directly towards Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu, Guan, Zhang and others were so frightened by this sentence that they opened their mouths, and the people were even more stunned.

The man on the altar slowly raised his sword: "I swear in the name of the Yellow Turbans."

"With my humble status, I shall take the order from heaven and drive back the flood! Protect the people of the plains! I will surely triumph over heaven!"

When these words were spoken, there was no thunder, but they were louder than thunder a hundred feet high, and reached everyone's ears.

Even Zhang Fei knew that if such remarks were heard by the imperial court, Liu Zhaoqing would surely be killed.

Guan Yu also fell silent. She didn't expect Liu Zhaoqing to unite the people in this way, but...

"Wait, big sister, you..."

The two sisters suddenly discovered that Liu Bei had drawn a long sword from his waist and actually touched the blade of Liu Zhaoqing's sword.

Guan Yu was silent for a second, then took a step forward, raised his crescent-shaped sword, and placed it on the two blades.

"Wow, you are such... such words! Sister and second sister, you... Oh! Forget it! At worst, we can just go around and beg for food to make a living..."

Zhang Fei gritted his teeth and muttered a few words, then picked up the snake spear and hit it hard.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, four people drank together.

"We will win over the heavens!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the world suddenly changed drastically.

The oppressive black clouds began to retreat rapidly, the strong wind subsided in an instant, and the thunder disappeared in the sky.

The gloomy scene of God's wrath disappeared just like that.

The clouds and fog are cleared and light shines on the earth.

Such a miracle shocked everyone, and then they were all extremely excited.

"Sure...surely win over Heaven!"

"We will win over the heavens!!"

……

Listening to the roaring voices like the thunder and the sea, Liu Zhaoqing looked up at the pure blue sky with a hint of relief.

[On the fourth day of the second month of the sixth year of Zhongping, the Yellow Turbans were established, and the world's heroes were recruited. In front of all the people, they swore to take the fate of the heavens.]

-

Half an hour later, unable to withstand the people's overwhelming enthusiasm, Liu Zhaoqing had to drive his carriage into the county town from the side door. He carefully avoided the public's sight before arriving at his doorstep.

He got out, then drew aside the curtain of the carriage and held out his hand.

A white hand rested on his hand, and then a beautiful woman in a light yellow dress slowly walked down from the carriage.

Looking at her pale lips and weak face, Liu Zhaoqing felt very distressed.

"Thank you for your hard work, Jiao'er."

Chapter 35: When the River Opens

Zhang Jiao shook her head slightly: "Compared to me, Qingjun is even more tired."

"I'm not tired at all." Liu Zhaoqing smiled, "I just raised my sword and yelled at the sky. If Jiao'er hadn't been cheering me on in the carriage, I would have become a joke."

The previous "miracles" were naturally all done by Zhang Jiao, who possessed the power to control the heavens.

However, Zhang Jiao has not yet fully mastered this ability, and using it has consumed too much of her energy, so much so that she now looks weak and listless.

As for Liu Zhaoqing's statement that he would become a "joke" without her, Zhang Jiao didn't think so.

"The changing situation will only make the people trust you faster. Even without the help of your wife, your passionate speech would have caused a huge response." Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Zhaoqing after she finished speaking.

Then he reached out and held Liu Zhaoqing's right hand, feeling the trembling of his arm, and whispered softly: "Qingjun, don't worry. Those words are the words in the hearts of all the hard-working people in the world."

Shaking his head, Liu Zhaoqing said, "Jiao'er, you're worrying too much. I just had a cramp in my hand from holding the sword for too long..."

After saying this, Liu Zhaoqing found that Zhang Jiao was staring at him.

"Well... I am a little scared. After all, if that word gets out, it's almost the same as 'treason'." Liu Zhaoqing admitted, then sighed: "But I'm not afraid of danger, but I'm afraid... we haven't had enough time to prepare."

"Jiao'er understands. Qingjun always does something after making all preparations, but... some things cannot be prepared." Zhang Jiao said.

"For example, when Qingjun met me, or when I got the book from someone else."

"Yes, man proposes, God disposes. It is indeed impossible to be prepared for everything beforehand." Liu Zhaoqing sighed and continued.

"But fortunately, we are not slow-witted and have good adaptability. We have been able to cope with this unexpected accident quite well so far."

"Just 'good'?" Zhang Jiao smiled, "Just now, County Magistrate Liu and his sisters were attracted by Qing Jun, and the people in Pingyuan were calling him 'Mr. Liu'."

Speaking of the joining of Liu, Guan and Zhang, Liu Zhaoqing indeed did not expect that they would take on this responsibility with him.

Especially Liu Bei. As a relative of the Han royal family, Liu Zhaoqing was prepared to get angry after she said that. However, she didn't expect that Liu Bei not only did not get angry, but was the first to choose to support her.

"Those three are all devoted to the people of Pingyuan, and they are not attracted to me." Liu Zhaoqing shook his head and said, "As for the name "Mr. Liu"... I feel it's a bit weird."

"Liu Gong" is the respectful name given to him by the people. It was just that the word suddenly spread just now. At this moment, people in the next street were still saying things like "Where is Liu Gong?" and "I clearly saw Liu Gong just now".

"Why is it so strange?" Zhang Jiao asked.

Liu Zhaoqing frowned: "It's as if I'm some 40 or 50-year-old bearded elder."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, a strong man suddenly came from the street next to him. He looked like the man who was kneeling beside the altar before.

"Liu Manzi greets Mr. Liu and his wife." The strong man bowed respectfully to Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Jiao.

"Why are you following their lead in calling me that? Just call me by my original name." Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly, "You've worked hard, go change your clothes and take a good rest."

Liu Manzi chuckled and touched his head.

It turned out that not only was Zhang Jiao cooperating with Liu Zhaoqing, but this guy from their own theater also acted as a "stoker", which made possible the spectacular scene just now.

-

After sending Zhang Jiao home safely, Liu Zhaoqing asked Baoer to take care of her for a while, and if she encountered any danger, he should go to the high building of Baixi Tower.

Earlier, the Baixi Tower had undergone some reinforcement and was converted into a place to store grain. If a flood entered the city, the tall Baixi Tower would be relatively safe.

Soon a servant came to report that the people from the county magistrate's office had already prepared their horses and were waiting outside.

Liu Zhaoqing was about to leave. Zhang Jiao and Baoer were both very worried about him and wanted their daughter to go and protect him, but Liu Zhaoqing politely declined.

My daughter's abilities are suitable for use in the dark, and she is too weak to deal with a disaster like the Yellow River Rebellion. The best arrangement is to protect them at home.

Baoer wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Jiao.

"Qingjun, go ahead." Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing nodded, then smiled: "Don't worry, Liu, Guan, Zhang, Tian and Yu are the only ones protecting me. This should be the safest time in my life."

After saying this, Liu Zhaoqing hurriedly left home, and together with Tian Yu who came to pick him up, he rode on the horse he had prepared and headed out of the county town.

Baoer at home immediately ran to the door, stood on tiptoe and looked left and right, but there was no one in sight. It seemed that Liu Zhaoqing had left.

After returning to the bedroom, Baoer felt a little regretful: "I should have stopped the master, Madam... This is too dangerous... Even with Liu, Guan and Zhang, there might be accidents..."

"Qingjun is not only our Qingjun now. We can't be so selfish." Zhang Jiao sighed slightly.

"Selfish?" The little girl didn't quite understand why the lady said that.

Zhang Jiao said: "Qingjun has now become the pillar of the entire Pingyuan County."

As Zhang Jiao said this, she was about to get up, which scared Baoer and Xiaonu.

"Hey, Madam, you, you can't come down yet. You are so weak and haven't recovered yet. Something bad will happen!"

"I'm fine." Zhang Jiao, who was sitting on the bed, waved her hand, took a deep breath, and said to the two of them.

"You two haven't forgotten what Qingjun said before?"

Baoer thought for a moment and said, "Are you referring to what the Patriarch said... about making a name for oneself?"

"Yes." Zhang Jiao got out of bed, put on her cloth shoes, and stood up with difficulty.

She took out the yellowed ancient book - Taiping Yaoshu - from her arms.

"Qing Jun has made a great vow, and we must do our part for him."

"A general cannot be without soldiers, and a duke cannot be without hope. We must take this opportunity to announce the name of the Yellow Turbans to all the suffering people in the world. Hebei has a wise leader, and there are Yellow Turbans who serve the people instead of the dukes."

"Don't be afraid of the fall of the blue sky, because after the blue sky, there is the yellow sky."

-

Riding horses with Tian Yu, many people saw Liu Zhaoqing on the road and immediately shouted "Mr. Liu" at him.

After Liu Zhaoqing's "third step", the fighting spirit of the people of Pingyuan County had become like a spark that ignited the grass, burning for a long time and even becoming more and more vigorous.

"Master Zhaoqing really shocked me." On the horse, Tian Yu recalled the scene just now and still couldn't let it go for a long time.

"No wonder Ming Gong trusts you so much. You are truly a remarkable man."

"You should stop praising me like that." Liu Zhaoqing smiled bitterly, "You also know that I am just putting on a show with the Ming court to boost the morale of the people. Only in this way can everyone unite to fight the disaster together."

"Let's go meet Ming Ting and the others as soon as possible."

Liu Bei and others were still on the altar. They were staring at the surging river in the distance and didn't even notice Tian Yu and Liu Zhaoqing coming.

After Liu Zhaoqing dismounted from his horse, he immediately walked over to them.

"Sister Xuande, there are General Guan and General Fei, is there anything unusual in the Yellow River?"

"Look." Guan Yu raised his eyebrows and looked into the distance.

Liu Zhaoqing looked into the distance and saw a white line appearing far upstream on the Yellow River.

"That is……"
