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

"But the lord still holds on to that piece of white jade, believing it to be a divine object. He reads divination books in the hall, hoping to use it... to fulfill the will of heaven."

Although Liu Zhaoqing wanted to laugh out loud when he heard this, he held it back because of his high professionalism.

After nodding slightly, Liu Zhaoqing said calmly: "I see, then I will do it for you for free and help your lord sober up."

Chapter 304: Han Fu's Collapse4.1K

After saying this, Liu Zhaoqing asked Tian Feng to take him to see Han Fu.

The place where Han Fu was was not a bunker or any other hidden place, but just an ordinary living room.

However, the door of the reception hall was closed at this time. Gao Lan, Shen Pei and others were standing outside the door, like visitors who were turned away.

When they saw Tian Feng bringing Liu Zhaoqing here, they were both surprised at first, and then they bowed their heads and greeted Liu Zhaoqing.

Obviously, they had anticipated this scene.

Liu Zhaoqing did not make things difficult for them. He asked them to wait outside for a while and then pushed open the door.

Zhang Liao followed Liu Zhaoqing into the door. As soon as he entered, Zhang Liao frowned slightly and unconsciously put his hand in front of his nose.

There was a strange smell in the room, as if it was some kind of strange smell smoked out by burning incense mixed with herbs.

Liu Zhaoqing first looked up at the high seat, but there was no one sitting on the luxurious chair.

Then he took a step forward, walked around the high seat, and saw Han Fu in a small area behind the seat.

This was where the servants were supposed to stand, but at this moment only Han Fu was there.

Han Fu, wearing a white robe, looked like a Taoist priest, with his hair undone. He sat on the ground casually without any etiquette, holding something and staring at the copper incense burner in front of him in a daze.

He kept muttering words like "destiny" from time to time.

"Han Fu." Liu Zhaoqing called his name after watching for a while.

When Han Fu heard the voice, he was suddenly startled and immediately turned around to look at Liu Zhaoqing.

The moment he saw Liu Zhaoqing's appearance, Han Fu's originally lifeless eyes became extremely frightened, and his pupils even shrank into the shape of needles.

But the next second, he showed an angry look, reached out to pick up the long sword on the ground beside him, stood up and prepared to stab Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't move. When Han Fu just picked up the sword, Zhang Liao took action.

With just a single slash of his hand and a cold snort, Han Fu felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He opened his hand involuntarily, and the sword fell to the ground.

Zhang Liao stepped on the long sword and kicked it sideways, sending it flying into the back of a wooden chair behind him.

"Hanzhou Mu's way of entertaining guests seems a little special." Liu Zhaoqing asked puzzledly.

"And I didn't expect that Hanzhou Mu knew a little bit about swordsmanship. I heard that he was beaten to a pulp by Dong Zhuo. I thought Hanzhou Mu was just a scholar who didn't know martial arts."

"It's a pity, it's just 'a little'."

As Liu Zhaoqing shook his head, Han Fu took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. He was shocked and angry.

"Liu Zhaoqing, you still have the mind to laugh at me here, aren't you afraid that Dong Zhuo will come after you?!"

"Dong Zhuo has been defeated, why talk about hunting me down?" Liu Zhaoqing said calmly.

"On the contrary, I just came back after hunting her down."

"What?" Han Fu didn't believe it at all. "It's impossible. Dong Zhuo's army... is unstoppable. How could they be hunted down by you overnight? Unless it's with me..."

If even the supreme commander was being hunted down, then it was only possible that the side being hunted down in this battle had already suffered a crushing defeat. Han Fu had experienced this before.

Even though he fled to Yecheng, he almost couldn't escape the fate of being killed. Thanks to a miracle from heaven, Dong Zhuo's army that had entered the city suddenly withdrew.

"'Unstoppable'? If Dong Zhuo heard someone evaluate her like that, he would probably laugh out loud." Liu Zhaoqing looked at Han Fu.

"And Han Zhoumu, I am your indirect savior after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to treat me like this?"

"My savior? What are you talking about?"

Without waiting for Liu Zhaoqing to speak, Zhang Liao frowned and said, "You don't think Dong Zhuo withdrew from Yecheng because he was scared by you, do you?"

Han Fu looked at Liu Zhaoqing, thinking of what he had just said, and was surprised: "Could it be..."

"Dong Zhuo's purpose in crossing the river was actually me. You and Yecheng were just her 'convenient' targets. It was my initiative that made her evacuate Yecheng. It was also our efforts that turned the tide and defeated Dong Zhuo, forcing her to flee like a rat."

Liu Zhaoqing felt a little tired of standing, so he found a chair and sat in front of Han Fu.

"Go and bring her here." Liu Zhaoqing said to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao looked at Han Fu, and Liu Zhaoqing smiled and told her not to worry, that Liu Zhaoqing could even use both hands to defeat Han Fu's mediocre kung fu.

Han Fu should have realized that he could not be a match for Liu Zhaoqing in a one-on-one fight, and he did not make any move to attack Liu Zhaoqing while Zhang Liao was away.

Instead, in addition to holding the things in his hands tightly, he was still a little confused in his mind. What did Liu Zhaoqing want Zhang Liao to do?

Liu Zhaoqing just said that he would bring someone here. Who could it be?

The answer was revealed very quickly. Not long after, when a woman with her hands tied was brought to Han Fu by Zhang Liao, Han Fu opened his mouth slightly and his eyes widened.

"Jia, Jia Xu?"

"This should be convincing enough." After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he waved his hand. Before Jia Xu could say a word, he was escorted back by Zhang Liao.

This made her feel helpless, and she didn't understand what Liu Zhaoqing was trying to do.

Han Fu was already in deep shock. If he had previously suspected that Liu Zhaoqing was bragging, perhaps he had chosen to hide in Yecheng in order to escape Dong Zhuo's army.

But now, the important advisers around Dong Zhuo have been captured, which undoubtedly shows that Dong Zhuo has indeed been defeated.

"How is it possible... my army was almost wiped out by Dong Zhuo... and now only a few soldiers are left to defend the city."

"They are the elite soldiers of Xiliang. How could they be defeated so easily by you..."

Han Fu's murmurs made Zhang Liao very unhappy when he returned. No matter what grudges he had with his benefactor, Han Fu was one of the princes of the anti-Dong coalition at this time. Shouldn't he be happy that Dong Zhuo was defeated? Now these words sounded like he was feeling sorry for Dong Zhuo.

However, Liu Zhaoqing knew that Han Fu was not feeling sorry for Dong Zhuo. It was just that at this moment, he finally realized how big the gap was between himself and Liu Zhaoqing, and he felt a huge disappointment in his heart.

Compared with Liu Zhaoqing, Han Fu was far ahead in terms of background, education, status and territory.

In the turbulent times, Han Fu, who owned the entire Jizhou, should have been a powerful leader, but unexpectedly, a Liu Zhaoqing suddenly appeared in Hebei.

When you realize that the person you once looked down upon has quickly reached a position that you could only look up to, such a gap is not something most people can accept in the first place.

Fortunately, Han Fu is not an ordinary person, and Liu Zhaoqing also "considered him" very well.

"Why not? Does Hanzhou Mu think this is something unexpected?" Liu Zhaoqing wondered.

"I brought less than 4,000 people from the coalition's central route to Hebei. Not only did I burn Dong Zhuo's Luoyang granary, I also helped you break out, and later I even opened a river for your army." Liu Zhaoqing, who was sitting on a chair, looked at Han Fu who was standing.

"This clearly happened last night, why does Han Zhoumu seem to have forgotten it?"

"What?" Han Fu was shocked: "You did it?!"

"Who else could it be?" Liu Zhaoqing's gaze drifted towards the incense burner on the ground.

"Do you really think God will save you?"

"You are not a saint who shakes the heavens and earth, nor a wise ruler sitting on the dragon throne. You are just an ordinary person with mediocre abilities. Why would God favor you?"

"If it weren't for me, you would have died at the hands of Dong Zhuo long ago." Liu Zhaoqing said calmly.

Then he slowly stood up and said, "However, compared to you, Tian Feng and Zhang He are much more discerning and polite than you, the lord."

"If it weren't for their sake, I wouldn't be so calm and talk to you like this in front of you."

While Liu Zhaoqing was speaking, Han Fu seemed not to be listening.

"Impossible, how could it be that you saved me?"

Han Fu looked at the thing in his hand and became excited: "That's it, it's this magical object!"

"Liu Zhaoqing, you are so shameless that you actually stole the credit of the divine object and wanted to take the credit for yourself." Han Fu glared at Liu Zhaoqing.

This made Zhang Liao frown again, although she felt that Liu Zhaoqing was too generous in being willing to talk calmly with Han Fu.

If it were someone else, such as Cao Cao, who had such a grudge with Han Fu, he would definitely have someone arrest him directly.

However, Zhang Liao also understood that Liu Zhaoqing was not doing this for Han Fu, but for Yecheng, Jizhou and those ambitious people under Han Fu.

However, Han Fu was obviously insane at this time, and it was impossible for Liu Zhaoqing to show Han Fu the evidence of his breakout and opening the river as he did when he called Jia Xu.

It might be difficult to get Han Fu to agree.

Of course, Zhang Liao didn't think that he had to get Han Fu's approval. Han Fu was now nothing more than a stray dog ​​and no longer posed a threat. The best option was to ignore his words.

But Liu Zhaoqing couldn't just ignore him.

He came to Yecheng, came here, just to let Han Fu know the truth.

Even Liu Zhaoqing himself admires and is moved by this pursuit of truth.

Now that Han Fu doesn't believe it, Liu Zhaoqing has another way.

"Calculating the time, it's almost time, right?"

Liu Zhaoqing looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and spoke.

Not only did Han Fu not know what Liu Zhaoqing was talking about, but Zhang Liao also didn't understand for a moment.

But soon, Zhang Liao sensed a familiar breath coming from outside the door.

There was a sound of horse hooves, and a female general in white armor dismounted from her horse and landed on the ground.

"I'm sorry, but my lord has given orders, so I have no choice but to ride here."

Zhao Yun apologized to Tian Feng and others outside the door who were a little frightened by her sudden appearance riding a white dragon, and then walked into the living room carrying a black cloth package in her hand.

"Lord."

Coming in front of Liu Zhaoqing, Zhao Yun nodded slightly to Liu Zhaoqing.

Seeing the package in her hand, Liu Zhaoqing knew that she had completed the task perfectly.

Looking at Han Fu, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly kept staring at him without saying a word.

Faced with Liu Zhaoqing's oppressive gaze, and with Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun beside him, Han Fu felt a strong threat before him.

There is no doubt that as long as Liu Zhaoqing opens his mouth and gives a random order, these two outstanding people can easily eliminate him.

"You, what are you going to do?" Han Fu asked in panic.

"Does the Hanzhou Mu really think that he is destined to succeed the throne?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

Han Fu hesitated to answer, but Liu Zhaoqing shook his head: "If that's true, it's too sad."

"Praying to a stone for an answer, turning a broken stone that can be found anywhere into a treasure, not only wrapping it in priceless gold and silk, but also lighting it with the finest incense."

"If you take a broken stone as proof of your destiny, and this gets out, Hanzhou Mu, your 'worldly reputation' will be gone."

"What did you say?" Han Fu frowned. "What do you mean by 'a piece of stone'?"

"That's what you are holding." Liu Zhaoqing said.

"Liu Zhaoqing, do you think I'm a fool? Would I believe you and hand over the magical object to you so easily?!" Han Fu sneered.

At this time, he also regarded Liu Zhaoqing as someone who coveted the divine object.

Because in his eyes, this was the only reason why Liu Zhaoqing stood here.

Liu Zhaoqing didn't waste any more words. He turned his head and said to Zhao Yun who had just arrived, "Open it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun placed the black cloth package on the ground and then untied the knot.

There was no special effect of blinding golden light, nor were there any auspicious or strange signs around the sky and earth.

All that comes into view is stone, or to be more precise: white pebbles.

Pieces are randomly stacked together, and at a glance there are actually twenty or thirty pieces.

Han Fu was stunned when he saw the stone in the bag that was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

How is this going?

How come there are so many divine objects?

"How much is there on the other side of the Yellow River?" Liu Zhaoqing asked Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun recalled it, but couldn't give an exact number because there were so many of them that they were almost everywhere on the riverbed.

"It should be... enough to build a city wall, with just the stones from Chaoge." Zhao Yun said.

Liu Zhaoqing's lips curled up slightly: "Look, there are still a lot if you want. If Han Zhoumu wants more, I will let Zilong get some more, and Han Zhoumu only needs to pay a little money to escape."
