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

As a helpless person from a poor family in decline, she could only drift with the waves of the turbulent times.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao or other people who could become powerful rulers, which one of them did not have a background and status?

The scenery they saw since childhood was different from that of Jia Xu, and the people around them must have been mostly those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

The only exception is Liu Zhaoqing. He truly used his own talents to seize the opportunities of the times in front of the previous emperor and grew to such a level.

In Jia Xu's eyes, Liu Zhaoqing is the goal she aspires to achieve and the pinnacle that a commoner from a poor family can achieve in this era.

With such a real example in front of him and the opportunity to escape from the defeated Dong Zhuo, why wouldn't Jia Xu come to Liu Zhaoqing?

After understanding this, Liu Zhaoqing felt a little guilty.

Going with the flow and protecting yourself does not mean being heartless and ungrateful.

"I am short-sighted and underestimated Wenhe."

Hearing this, Jia Xu also hurriedly shook his head.

"My lord, you have not lost your mind. In fact, a few hours ago... Xu still felt that your success was largely due to luck."

There is nothing wrong with this. Even Liu Zhaoqing himself feels that he is indeed very lucky.

But what Jia Xu said next was a bit "excessive".

"And judging from the fact that he has never recruited Xun Yu, the lord may not have as much prestige and appeal as I imagined. So I thought that after using a small strategy to gain the lord's favor, I might be able to do less work at ordinary times and contribute more when I am needed..."

At the end of his speech, Jia Xu's face showed shame.

After all, what she said was equivalent to saying that she originally wanted to take advantage of the situation in Liu Zhaoqing's camp, but since Liu Zhaoqing was frank, she couldn't hide anything.

What do you mean I'm not that attractive?

Liu Zhaoqing frowned: "Wenhe's words are not right. Although Miss Xun is from an extraordinary family, she and I are friends of life and death, which is beyond the ordinary master-servant relationship."

"Ah? So Xun Yu has already fallen into the hands of the lord?" Jia Xu was surprised, and then his face showed joy: "Congratulations, lord."

It seems that Jia Xu's congratulations were not fake at all, and this was also the normal reaction of a counselor under Liu Zhaoqing when he heard that Xun Yu from the Xun family had joined. This shows that Jia Xu had indeed surrendered sincerely.

But this made Liu Zhaoqing embarrassed.

It was not until Guan Yu, who was standing by, said that he had to go find his elder sister Liu Bei that he helped Liu Zhaoqing out of the predicament.

----

Liu Zhaoqing then asked Jia Xu and Guan Yu to go see Zhang Liao first, and she would arrange their accommodation.

I went to the living room where I had been before.

Guo Jia and Xun Yu had already left. They had gone to contact Tian Feng and others to discuss the dispatch of the Youzhou army to assist in the defense of Jizhou.

Liu Zhaoqing would definitely feel at ease leaving everything to them.

Now Liu Zhaoqing was the only one in the living room, and he could finally check his harvest carefully.

After taking down the Water-Repellent Sword and placing it on the table, Liu Zhaoqing then took out the small black jade from his arms.

When rubbing the palm of his right hand, Liu Zhaoqing could feel a cool sensation.

This object, which looks like an ordinary jade only differing in color, is actually a divine object named after the River Map - Luoshu.

"Yinglong."

Liu Zhaoqing called out to Yinglong in his heart.

Then he felt a warmth welling up in his heart, indicating that Yinglong had awakened.

Although the other party did not respond, Liu Zhaoqing knew that it had woken up, so of course he would not be polite.

Then he asked in his heart: "How do I wake this thing up again?"

"..."

"What's wrong? Didn't you hear me? Then I'll say it again..."

"My hearing has not yet declined to the extent that ordinary people do." Yinglong finally spoke.

"You got this thing, and you used it once. Why are you asking me?"

In Yinglong's eyes, Liu Zhaoqing's question seemed to be deliberately making fun of him.

But this time Yinglong really misunderstood, and Liu Zhaoqing was asking the question sincerely.

"Although I have used it once, I used the same method just now. Whether I injected the power of the human book into it or sensed it through consciousness, it didn't react at all." Liu Zhaoqing frowned.

The Luoshu in his hand seemed to have run out of energy.

"Could it be... this is like the Peng bird's feather, which needs to be recharged after being used once?"

This speculation was denied by Yinglong.

"The Peng feather is a remnant of the mythical beast, and it is not complete to begin with. It only contains a trace of the Peng bird's essence, while the Luoshu is intact, and what it has bestowed upon you is only the power to purify all things in the world. Most of the power comes from you, me, and the human book."

"Without the power collected in the human book, it would be impossible to defeat that evil dragon species."

"That is to say... the Luoshu is not out of energy." After ruling out this possibility, Liu Zhaoqing frowned even deeper.

Because this also means that Liu Zhaoqing may not be able to find a way to awaken Luoshu again for a while.

“Will this thing only be used as a pendant on the sword tassel in the future?” Liu Zhaoqing murmured as he held up the Luoshu, which was about the size of a thumb.

You know what, this is really suitable as a sword tassel pendant.

But this is such a waste of resources.

Later, Liu Zhaoqing asked Yinglong if he had any other methods. Yinglong said that this thing was older than him, and he had only heard of it and didn't know much about it.

It was also suggested that Liu Zhaoqing drop some blood on it, which he did, but nothing happened.

When he wanted to question Yinglong, Yinglong said that he had consumed too much energy and was tired and was about to fall asleep, so he ignored him.

Helplessly, Liu Zhaoqing had to put the Luoshu back into his arms, yawned, and walked towards the room holding the Water-Repellent Sword.

Although it was still afternoon, Liu Zhaoqing was indeed tired, just like Cao Cao and others.

After returning to the room, Liu Zhaoqing did not see Zhang Jiao.

Originally, he wanted to let Jiao'er see the good things he had obtained, and see how Jiao'er had grown. But now Liu Zhaoqing sat on the edge of the bed, and he felt tired after sitting for a while.

Slowly fell onto the bed.

Then when Liu Zhaoqing opened his eyes again, he saw a black gecko lying on the wall. The wall was not made of wood, but earth, and there were several cracks on it.

Propping himself up, Liu Zhaoqing looked around the room and discovered that the bed he slept on was not only missing two corners, but was even broken in one place. It was only thanks to the stone that it prevented it from collapsing.

When he came to the edge of the bed, Liu Zhaoqing discovered that there were many potholes on the ground. Near the door, there was a row of shallow pits formed by years of rain.

Such a shabby house was definitely not the county residence of the wealthy Yecheng where Liu Zhaoqing lived.

But he did not travel through time. After a little sense of Liu Zhaoqing, he realized that his body at this moment was not a physical entity, and everything around him was not real either.

"Is this, in a dream?"

Liu Zhaoqing had dreams before, but never such a clear dream.

Liu Zhaoqing got down from the edge of the bed and walked towards the door.

Pushing open the old, creaking wooden door with a gap big enough for one's arm to fit through, Liu Zhaoqing came to an ordinary and somewhat shabby living room.

There weren't many decorations in the living room. The only eye-catching thing was the chess pieces on the broken table between the two straw mats in the middle.

When Liu Zhaoqing went forward to take a look at the chess piece, he suddenly heard a burst of chirping coming from outside.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhaoqing thought that Yinglong did not appear, which should mean that this dream was not dangerous, so he stepped outside.

After pushing open the door, Liu Zhaoqing saw a familiar figure.

That was the woman I had seen before when I entered the space created by Luoshu.

She carried a small bamboo basket in her right hand and grabbed something from the basket with her left hand and scattered it on the ground, attracting many birds such as gray sparrows and partridges to come and peck at the food.

The chirping sounds you heard before were made by these birds fighting for food.

Liu Zhaoqing walked to her side unknowingly. She was wearing a white veil and her eyes were still closed.

But there should be no such thing as "seeing" for the "weapon spirit", so Liu Zhaoqing knew that she must have noticed him coming.

This "device spirit" seemed to be more enthusiastic than Yinglong. At least when Liu Zhaoqing arrived, she did not pretend not to notice, but took the initiative to speak:

"You came."

Her voice was still so soft and steady, like a stream in the mountains on a summer day, refreshing to the heart.

This may be one of her abilities as a "spirit of the weapon".

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing didn't have the time to think about how beautiful her voice was. His attention was all on the ground.

"Why are these birds... pecking at the air?" Liu Zhaoqing wondered.

Whether it is a gray sparrow, a partridge or any other bird, they are pecking at the ground as if they are trying to grab food, but there is actually nothing on the ground.

Even the bamboo basket in the woman's hand did not contain any food or anything else.

But even though Liu Zhaoqing said so, the woman's slender and white hands still slowly reached into the basket, bent her five fingers to grab the air, and then scattered it on the ground.

And these birds, like the most talented actors in the biological world, swarmed forward again and pecked at the food that did not exist on the land at all.

This made Liu Zhaoqing stunned.

Am I blind, or are the rules of this dream world different from those outside?

"What you see doesn't necessarily exist in reality, like the Chaofeng," the woman said as she fed the birds.

"Just because something cannot be seen doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist, such as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the power of the Taiping Sutra."

Liu Zhaoqing frowned, then asked: "How do you know... the Taiping Jing?"

"because of you."

"I?"

The woman opened her lips slightly: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's because your destiny star has deviated. Fortunately, it's not too late now."

These words made Liu Zhaoqing even more confused.

"Who are you? How is Luo Shu related to my destiny star?"

Facing Liu Zhaoqing's questioning, the woman did not hide anything. She closed her eyes and spoke the shocking words calmly.

"The Luoshu was obtained by a man named 'Yu', who was able to control the floods in the world because of it."

"But Luoshu is more than just a water control tool."

"It is a creation of heaven and earth, with the power to determine destiny, inherit heaven and earth, and change the world."

"As the one who has received the mandate of heaven, you have been recognized by Luoshu since Yu, so you should shoulder the responsibility of saving the common people."

Liu Zhaoqing opened his mouth slightly and continued, "You mean, you want me to save the people of the world?"

The woman shook her head: "It's the common people."

“Mortals, spirits, birds and beasts, heaven and earth, are all part of the common people.”

"Is this... a bit too much of a compliment to me?" Liu Zhaoqing said.

"This is something you can do, otherwise the Taiping Sutra would not have chosen you." The woman said again.

Liu Zhaoqing was silent for a moment, then asked: "So, you are the spirit of Luoshu, and you need me to complete your test before I can gain the qualification to control Luoshu and unlock more abilities?"

The woman remained silent, seemingly seriously thinking about Liu Zhaoqing's metaphor which was not suitable for this era.

"That's about it..." The woman nodded, "But the Luoshu is not an ordinary thing, nor is it complete. For you, it may not be as practical as the Taiping Sutra. Instead, you need to travel thousands of miles to find it."

"Why does this sound so familiar..." Liu Zhaoqing muttered before asking directly, "What benefits can I get from this?"

Although Liu Zhaoqing has never encountered a situation where someone claims to be a savior right from the start, he has seen it many times.

"The position of ruler, and... the whole world." said the woman.

"Can't I get it by conquering the world with my own strength?" Liu Zhaoqing wondered.

“That’s why I’m here too.” The woman said calmly, “To guide you onto the right path.”

Liu Zhaoqing raised his eyebrows.

Doesn’t this mean that this spirit is just “drawing cakes”?
