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

Just as Liu Zhaoqing was thinking, Liu Bei couldn't help but raise his arms to cover the fullness that could not be hidden by his clothes.

"Uh, sorry, I wasn't looking at that. Well, I meant I was thinking about serious things..." Liu Zhaoqing reacted and quickly explained.

Liu Bei's ears turned red, and he shook his head and said, "I know, Zhao Qing is a person I trust very much, and he is definitely not that kind of person."

"...Haha, thank you Sister Xuande for your trust." Liu Zhaoqing laughed dryly twice.

This was a bit embarrassing, because he had indeed thought in that direction when he saw Liu Bei sometimes before. Fortunately, Liu Bei couldn't read minds, otherwise he would be dead again.

Liu Bei's face slowly returned to normal. After he exhaled slightly, she said, "This isn't really a secret, is it? Does Zhao Qing know about 'Earth Spirit'?"

"This... you know a little bit about it, it seems that only outstanding people have it?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

Liu Bei was a little surprised, then nodded: "Yes, if 'potential' is the difference between the "human" and "earth" talents, then among the "heaven" talents, 'earth spirit' is the only criterion."

"And 'earth spirits' are usually spirit animals or auspicious animals transformed from them, which are obtained by outstanding people through sensing the heaven and earth or encountering something extraordinary. If heavenly gifts are gifts from heaven, then earth spirits are gifts from the earth, another kind of 'heavenly gift' obtained by people through sensing the ancient and powerful creatures on earth."

"Only those who possess 'earth spirits' can become outstanding people, but most outstanding people only possess a little power or a trace of aura from the spirit beasts of heaven and earth."

Hearing this, Liu Zhaoqing interrupted her: "But... Sister Xuande, you have obviously become..."

"Dragon." Liu Bei said, "This... is also my secret."

"Although it is not common among the outstanding people to be able to transform into their own 'earth spirit', it is not unheard of. However, my earth spirit is a dragon species."

"Dragon seed..."

"Yeah." Liu Bei nodded, then looked at Liu Zhaoqing. She believed that Liu Zhaoqing should know what this meant.

"This means that Sister Xuande has the potential to become a king. Nowadays, the government is controlled by eunuchs and relatives of the emperor's wife. There are also powerful aristocrats and even various ambitious princes who want to dominate each other in every state. If they knew that Sister Xuande is a dragon." Liu Zhaoqing frowned.

"In a peaceful and prosperous era, you could be invited into the palace and worshipped as a prince, but now... the new dragon will definitely seize the territory of the old dragon. A 'local root' relative like Sister Xuande will either be assassinated by the court or controlled as a puppet by the princes... the consequences will be disastrous."

"Yes." Liu Bei smiled bitterly, "So my second sister and the others have been worrying about this."

"But fortunately I have Zhao Qing's good advice, otherwise I might still be worried now."

"My best strategy?"

"Zhao Qing forgot?" Liu Bei smiled, "Store up food, build high walls, and slowly become king."

Liu Zhaoqing suddenly realized and started laughing too.

How could he know at that time that Liu Bei was really a dragon? However, this strategy was correct in the early days of chaos when he was still weak.

After chatting for a while, Liu Zhaoqing suddenly had a question.

"Sister Xuande, I have another question to ask."

"Zhao Qing, go ahead and speak. I will definitely help you solve your doubts if I can answer them." Liu Bei nodded in response.

Liu Zhaoqing stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. After a long while, he said, "Just now, Sister Xuande said that the 'earth spirit' is obtained by sensing the 'spiritual beasts and auspicious beasts'. Then... can we sense the divine beasts?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a second, then laughed, "Zhao Qing is really a joker. Spiritual beasts are rare and extremely difficult to sense. Auspicious beasts are rare in a hundred years. Those who can sense them are all outstanding people. As for divine beasts, they are rare in a thousand years. Even if you are lucky enough to meet such a being, you will not bother to meet it."

"But, if no one can see it, how can we talk about it?"

Liu Bei smiled after he finished speaking, and Liu Zhaoqing also laughed and said that his question was a bit thoughtless, but his eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

But there is clearly a mythical beast named Yinglong in our own book. Could it be that Yinglong is our own "earth spirit"?

Later, Liu Zhaoqing took advantage of the waves to pour tea for Liu Bei. While Liu Bei was drinking the tea, he turned his back and flipped through a book.

He did not see the earth spirit on his attribute panel. After he returned to normal attributes, he was still a mortal without any gift from heaven.

Later, Liu Zhaoqing also asked Liu Bei tentatively, and Liu Bei said that he did not see anything at the bottom of the Yellow River.

After she snatched Liu Zhaoqing from the six-headed dragon, she was sucked in by a huge force. The first thing she saw when she woke up was Liu Zhaoqing, and the second time she woke up, she saw the six-headed dragon floating down the water.

But Yinglong was so big, if Liu Bei didn't see it, there could only be one explanation, that is, she was not qualified to see a real dragon.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhaoqing felt a little scared. It seemed that the dying Yinglong actually had great power.

I dare to scold it in front of it, which is really brave of me.

"If I really saw something, I saw Zilong." Liu Bei also praised, "This Zilong is indeed as brave as Zhao Qing said. I have never seen anyone dare to enter the Yellow River and fight a giant dragon. She is really a brave and amazing woman."

"By the way, Zhaoqing, I have asked my second sister to tell Zilong about your book and ask them not to spread it. As for your abilities such as controlling water and summoning the yellow sky, they must be gifts from heaven..." Liu Bei repeated the explanation he had prepared for Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing was also very moved after hearing this and thanked Liu Bei repeatedly.

Liu Bei was also very happy, but she also became curious at this time: "I heard from my second sister before that she had read your pornographic book before, and it seems that this time it was the pornographic book that helped her? I wonder if Zhao Qing can let me have a look at the book?"

"Ah, this... isn't good..."

Liu Zhaoqing felt embarrassed. If Liu Bei saw his real pornographic book, it would not just be a matter of social death, but a complete collapse of his personal image.

"Is it not good?" Liu Bei nodded after thinking for a while, "Yes, I heard from my second sister that there is a letter from Zhao Qing in it. It is not good for me as an outsider to read it."

"It's not this reason, it's this book. Well, it's not suitable for people other than me to read. I will feel dizzy after reading it. Yes, I will feel dizzy and sick for seven days." Liu Zhaoqing explained immediately.

"So terrifying?" Liu Bei opened his mouth in surprise, but he had no doubts.

After all, she had witnessed the power of the pornographic book with her own eyes, so it was not surprising that the book had such a terrifying effect.

"Yes, haha, so it's not that I'm stingy, Sister Xuande, please understand." Liu Zhaoqing explained with a smile.

Just at this moment, there was another sound coming from downstairs. Hearing the sound, Liu Bei and Liu Zhaoqing both stood up.

"Tian Yu?"

"Little sister, I really have something important to discuss with Magistrate Liu."

The little girl didn't speak either.

"Little sister..."

Before he could say anything, Liu Zhaoqing's voice came from upstairs: "Guorang, just go around my daughter."

"Eh? Young Master Zhaoqing?" Tian Yu looked up and saw Liu Zhaoqing, and then saw Liu Bei beside him.

His face lit up with joy, then he asked in confusion, "Bypass? But didn't she not let me in?"

"Is it possible that you are blocking someone's way?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.

"This……"

-

After Tian Yu went upstairs, he did not drink the tea brought by Liu Zhaoqing, but immediately spoke to Liu Bei.

"Mingsir, there is something extremely important that requires your immediate decision."

"So urgent?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's quite urgent. We have to make a decision before nightfall today." Tian Yu nodded, and then said with a heavy face: "Although the flood was controlled by the common people, soldiers and heroes, and the red evil dragon was killed by Lord Liu, but we just received news that the granary where our county magistrate's office used to store grain... was destroyed by the beast in the flood not long ago. Not only the granary, but also a large amount of other supplies were swept into the flood."

"The evil dragons were killed by the sisters and the heroes of Hebei before. We thought the flood had receded, but we didn't expect that the six-headed red dragon brought another wave of floods. Although it didn't hurt too many people, the sudden flood directly soaked a lot of supplies."

"Right now Pingyuan County is short of medicine, food, and cloth. A large number of people in and outside Pingyuan County have lost their homes. There are not many intact houses left in Pingyuan County."

"The floods, which carried dirt, poison and blood from vicious animals, submerged most of the people's homes. Now the weather is starting to get cold. If no measures are taken, a large number of people may die in three days."

"Aren't there any grain reserves somewhere else?" Liu Zhaoqing asked. He remembered that he had previously told them not to put all their eggs in one basket.

"Yes." Tian Yu nodded, then sighed, "That's why I came to ask you, sir."

Liu Zhaoqing was stunned and understood what Tian Yu meant.

This was to let Liu Bei decide which people to let live and which to die.

I didn't expect that even if we win against heaven or not, regardless of prosperity or decline, the people will still suffer hardships.

Chapter 54: Spending All My Money and Returning It Two-in-One

"How could it be..." Liu Bei whispered weakly.

Tian Yu was also very ashamed and knelt on one knee: "I failed to protect the supplies as you and Mr. Liu had entrusted me to do. I deserve death. Please punish me, magistrate!"

With eyebrows tightly knitted, Liu Zhaoqing immediately said when he saw Tian Yu apologize, "Guorang, you don't have to blame yourself so much. No one expected that the six-headed dragon would come back. Besides, you didn't pay attention to the supplies because you were busy killing the Gu Diao and the Lu Yu."

Liu Zhaoqing looked at Liu Bei and then at Tian Yu, and made a decision for them: "Anyway, let's go to the scene to see the situation before making a decision."

He told Bo Cai that he and Liu Bei would go to inspect the disaster-stricken areas in the county town, and asked Bo Cai to tell Zhang Jiao who had returned not to worry. He also asked the servant to inform the heroes waiting at the door of his house that he had something to do and could not go back, and hoped they would forgive him.

Afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing, Tian Yu and Liu Bei also walked through the mud all the way to the official grain granary in Pingyuan County.

Along the way, they met many soldiers, civilians and righteous men on the roadside. They were all delighted to see Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei.

But they all noticed that the two men looked a little unhappy, so they all did not step forward to block the way or disturb the group.

Not long after, Liu Zhaoqing discovered that water began to accumulate on the road ahead. In fact, less than an hour had passed since the six-headed dragon was killed, so naturally there was still a lot of water in the city that had not been cleared.

"County Magistrate Liu..." An official from the county magistrate's office saw Liu Bei coming and prepared to get a stool for her feet.

Liu Bei waved his hand, then waded through the dirty water that was above his calves and came to the barn with Liu Zhaoqing and others.

There were still a few soldiers next to the barn, and the barn, which had been built high, looked like an egg with a hole in it. Although there was still some rice left inside, a closer look revealed that it had been completely contaminated by the flood and even livestock could not eat it.

The soldiers all lowered their heads, Tian Yu also had a sad look on his face, and Liu Bei said nothing.

Liu Zhaoqing looked at it for a long time, then remained silent for a moment and said to Tian Yu: "Guorang, take us to see other places."

Afterwards, Tian Yu led the two of them to several other granaries or places where medicine and cloth were stored, and as expected, they were all soaked in water.

Although some medicines were still intact, and the cloth could be used after drying, the most important thing was that there was no food, so everything was in vain.

Liu Bei did not say a word until he was sure that what Tian Yu said was not an exaggeration.

Liu Zhaoqing had no choice but to continue speaking on Liu Bei's behalf: "Take us... to see the place where the victims are."

Tian Yu looked at Liu Bei, then at Liu Zhaoqing, and had no choice but to listen to Liu Zhaoqing's words and take the two of them to the worst-hit area.

Arriving at a corner in the west of the county town, Liu Zhaoqing felt as if he had come to some war-torn area.

Most of the houses here were damaged and leaning to one side as if they had been hit by an earthquake.

There was still a lot of water on the ground, and one could even see many soldiers and Yellow Turban civilians helping to collect the bodies.

There were also many soldiers, righteous men and brave men who were helping to clean up the corpses of ferocious beasts in the stagnant water and carry away the dirty water.

Everyone was clearly busy, but apart from the sounds of their actions, no one was talking.

"Mr. Liu! And the county magistrate!!"

Until a soldier saw Liu Zhaoqing and Liu Bei.

Suddenly, the originally lifeless streets were finally briefly cleared of the gloom.

The victims who were resting on the sandbags on both sides ignored the sewage and all rushed towards Liu Zhaoqing.

"County Magistrate! The County Magistrate is here! Save us, County Magistrate!"

"That big fish directly knocked down my house and killed my wife and children... Lord Liu, didn't you say that we can win over the heavens..."

"Please save my husband. His leg was scratched by the eagle. He will die if he is not treated... County Magistrate, Lord Liu!"

……

Looking at the influx of victims, Tian Yu ordered his soldiers to quickly protect Liu Bei and Liu Zhaoqing.

But he was stopped by Liu Bei.

She looked at the people kneeling in the mud and bowing to her, opened her mouth, but found that she could not make any definite promise.

If we agree to rescue them, another group of people who are also affected by the disaster will inevitably die.

This is an extremely difficult choice. If it were someone else, the decision would definitely be made based on whether the people's family background is that of a noble family, or whether they are young and strong.

But she couldn't do it because she was Liu Bei.

Although Tian Yu had only followed Liu Bei for a short time, he understood Liu Bei's intentions very well. He sighed at this moment. My Lord's heart must be in great pain at this moment.

"We will save you."

Just then, a calm voice sounded.

Everyone, including Liu Bei and Tian Yu, looked at the speaker.

That is naturally Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing's eyes were calm but firm: "We will save everyone, not only those in the affected area, but also all the victims in the plains."

"Zhao Qing... do you know what this promise is..." Liu Bei was stunned and then spoke quickly.

But before he could finish, he saw the victims were stunned for a moment, then they all knelt on the ground, shedding tears of gratitude, praising Mr. Liu and the county magistrate for their kindness.
