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

After resting with Zhang Liao, the two of them mounted their horses and continued on their journey.

They passed two ferry crossings on the way, but unfortunately both of them were destroyed by floods and had not yet been rebuilt, so Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao had to continue westward.

The longer they traveled after entering Yangping County, the more the relaxed smile on Liu Zhaoqing's face disappeared.

If there were only a few refugees on the road from Pingyuan to Yangping, now when Liu Zhaoqing was rushing from Yangping to Weijun, these refugees were already in large groups.

Only ten days had passed since the river disaster. Although Yangping and Weijun were prosperous, they were not rich enough to support the common people.

In densely populated and prosperous areas, there are more refugees and victims of disasters.

Along the way, there were disaster victims on the roadside begging for food. Some of them were skinny and some had flies around them.

"Madam, please, please give me some food..."

Zhang Liao on his horse moved his lips slightly, feeling sympathetic.

She did have some dry food in her bag, but at this time Liu Zhaoqing shook his head at her.

It was definitely not Liu Zhaoqing's character to watch someone in danger without helping, but after Zhang Liao thought about it for a while, he understood why Liu Zhaoqing stopped her.

After nodding, Zhang Liao also put away his sympathy.

Liu Zhaoqing felt relieved when he saw that Zhang Liao understood without him having to explain.

Looking at the people around him, he sighed and said, "Let's continue on our journey..."

Just as he was about to raise the reins, he suddenly heard a commotion from the front.

"There's food! There's food on him!!"

The roar was like the crisp sound of coins falling in the dark, which made all the refugees on the road see golden light, and then they immediately rushed in the direction of the shout.

Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao looked over when they heard the noise and saw a refugee holding a small piece of porridge in his hand being surrounded and fought over by many people.

Next to the group of people, a young woman in plain linen clothes was looking in shock at the refugees in front of her fighting for porridge.

She had a small wooden box in her hand. Looking down from her horse's vantage point, she could see that the box was filled with porridge.

There is no doubt that the woman shared her food with the refugee, and then the other refugees saw it and rushed forward to grab it.

While she was stunned, some refugees had already noticed her.

"Here, there's more!"

"She still has some!"

……

"My benefactor..." At this time Zhang Liao looked at Liu Zhaoqing.

Liu Zhaoqing frowned. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but if this continued, it wouldn't be long before even a trace of this kind-hearted person would be left in the physical sense.

"I'll wait for you out front."

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he rode his horse away from the road. After receiving the instruction, Zhang Liao also exerted force with his legs and rode his horse swiftly through the crowd. With his right hand, he grabbed the collar of the woman who was about to be surrounded and threw her behind him.

"Hold on tight, or you'll be left with nothing but bones if you fall."

After saying this, Zhang Liao chased after Liu Zhaoqing in front of him. After walking for about ten minutes, the large group of refugees behind them had disappeared, and there were few refugees around either. Only then did Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao slow down.

Zhang Liao came to Liu Zhaoqing's side and asked, "My benefactor...what do you think...how should we deal with this?"

Looking at the woman behind Zhang Liao's horse, Liu Zhaoqing asked, "Although your outer garment is torn, your inner garment is exquisite, and your skin is fair, just stained with some mud. You should not be a refugee, right?"

When the woman heard this, her face changed slightly, and then she jumped off the horse directly. However, Zhang Liao's horse was tall and mighty, so it was not so easy to jump off. She landed unsteadily and fell into the grass by the roadside.

The clothes on her shoulders slipped off and a few tears appeared in her eyes. Although it hurt a lot, she bit her lip but didn't make a sound.

Liu Zhaoqing was slightly stunned, while Zhang Liao frowned slightly. They both felt somewhat suspicious at the same time: This woman... why does she have such a unique and charming demeanor?

Liu Zhaoqing got off the horse and walked towards the woman.

At this time, the woman took out a dagger from her sleeve and looked at him warily.

Seeing her like this, Liu Zhaoqing only stared at her for two seconds, then turned around and returned to his horse.

"Let's go, Wenyuan."

"Ah?" Zhang Liao on the horse was a little surprised, and the woman over there was even more surprised.

"Why don't you leave or you'll get stabbed in the back?" Liu Zhaoqing said to Zhang Liao, then he turned his head to glance at the woman and said, "And next time you encounter something like this, don't do it again. Some things are so stupid that you have to experience them yourself to know how stupid they are."

Chapter 5 My name is Lv Hong 5K

"Foolish thing" seems to refer to saving the woman, but it also seems to be referring to the woman's previous behavior of giving away porridge and rice, which put herself in danger.

Liu Zhaoqing did not say it explicitly because there was no need to say it explicitly.

This was the only time I met this person.

After saving someone, Liu Zhaoqing was still pointed at with a knife. He knew that this woman did not regard him and Zhang Liao as benefactors.

Although this woman's beauty could not be concealed even with dirt on her face, Liu Zhaoqing was not some innocent boy. If the other members of his family, including Zhang Liao beside him, dressed up a little, they would also be as beautiful as the moon and flowers.

Zhang Liao on the horse also read Liu Zhaoqing's emotions. Now that the woman had been rescued, they still had to continue on their journey. There was really no need to waste time in such a place.

Liu Zhaoqing had also said just now that this woman was wearing gorgeous inner clothes, had fair skin and no calluses on her hands, so she was definitely not a refugee. Perhaps she had been separated from her family, or perhaps she had mixed with the refugees for some other reason. However, this was none of their business.

Zhang Liao also shook his head slightly, glanced at the woman, pulled the reins, and prepared to leave with Liu Zhaoqing.

The woman holding the dagger also put it down slightly at this time, stood up, and looked hesitant, at the same time when Liu Zhaoqing shouted "Go".

She immediately said towards the front.

"Please wait!"

Zhang Liao looked at Liu Zhaoqing, but Liu Zhaoqing showed no intention of looking back.

At this time, the woman seemed to know that Liu Zhaoqing was not a person with bad intentions. She said apologetically, "Please wait a moment, my dears. I was frightened and mistook you for bad people."

"Excuse me, could you two please help me?"

Of course, Zhang Liao could not answer this question on behalf of others.

She looked back at the woman, then at Liu Zhaoqing.

Seeing Zhang Liao like this, the woman now understood that the two men were led by Liu Zhaoqing over there, not Zhang Liao who looked heroic and valiant in light armor.

She took two steps forward and said respectfully to Liu Zhaoqing, "Please lend me a helping hand, and I will repay you with a generous gift."

"Haven't we already helped you?" Liu Zhaoqing said, tilting his head.

He finally spoke to the woman again, but his attitude was also very flat.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head. She was no longer alert, but stood up humbly and said sincerely: "Thank you for saving my life... But, I still need your help. This is very important to me."

Liu Zhaoqing thought for a moment and said, "Tell me what you want to help me with first."

He did not agree to the woman's request, but out of curiosity, he wanted to know what the young lady who ran out was going to do.

When the woman heard this, she thought Liu Zhaoqing had agreed. She showed a little joy in her eyes, then immediately raised her head and said, "Please escort me to Luoyang."

This is indeed not an excessive request, and it is also in my favor.

Liu Zhaoqing pulled the reins, and the horse turned its head to face the woman, and Liu Zhaoqing was able to look at her face again.

"Then, can you first repay us for saving you?" Liu Zhaoqing said condescendingly.

The woman's smile froze when she heard this. Then she thought for a moment, looked around at the grass, gritted her teeth, and leaned forward to say, "I will repay you for saving my life. When you two take me to Luoyang, I will give you two a huge gift..."

Before she could finish, Liu Zhaoqing shook his head and interrupted her: "Alright, alright, what can you use to get the gift of a thousand gold coins?"

"I didn't see a single piece of jewelry on you, and your bag only contained a lunch box with some porridge in it. If you are not a refugee as I expected, then you must have sold all your valuables on the way out of your home in order to survive, right?"

"Besides the clothes you have there, which are worth a few coins, only your dagger for self-defense is worth a little more, but it is no more than fifty coins."

"Don't even mention a thousand gold coins. If you sell all your belongings now, it won't even be worth two hundred gold coins. How can you even think of giving us two thousand gold coins?"

The woman wanted to say something when she heard this, but Liu Zhaoqing continued.

"Don't even mention that I'll give it to you when we get to Luoyang. If you were really the daughter of a noble in Luoyang, you wouldn't have mixed in with the disaster victims and left without anyone to protect you."

"And you were coming from the direction of Weijun. If you were going to Luoyang, you should have followed this road, gone to the ferry at Weijun and then to Yanzhou. Now you don't even know that you're going the wrong way?" Liu Zhaoqing looked at the woman with eyes full of surprise.

"Judging from your conversation and manners, you are not an uneducated person. You should be able to distinguish the directions of Wei County and Yangping County. The reason why you are walking this way is very simple, that is, you don't know how to get to Luoyang. It may even be the first time you have left your hometown. Because you don't know how to get to Luoyang, you got lost along with the refugees."

"Since this is your first time to Luoyang, how can you possibly get to know the powerful people in Luoyang? And how can you fulfill your promise?"

Liu Zhaoqing's words exposed the woman's empty promise, and the woman took a small step back in surprise.

She bit her lip. If she hadn't just met Liu Zhaoqing, she would have suspected that Liu Zhaoqing had investigated her or was some enemy of her family.

How could someone infer so much information about her just from these details?

"First you were ungrateful, and then you lied to me. Do you think I would trust and help someone like you?" Liu Zhaoqing said, almost stabbing the heart with every word.

Zhang Liao next to her also frowned at the woman.

This woman is not stupid, but she does take things for granted.

Just as Liu Zhaoqing pulled the reins again and was about to leave, a plop sound suddenly came from behind him.

It turned out that the woman knelt on the ground and bowed to Liu Zhaoqing.

"I am willing to be your servant. I only ask that you take me to Luoyang..."

After the woman finished speaking, she began to kowtow.

Liu Zhaoqing fell silent.

Some refugees had begun to gather nearby. It was okay for him to leave now, but the woman behind him, whose inner clothes were already exposed, had been targeted by these refugees.

If he left, the woman would definitely die.

Liu Zhaoqing fell into deep thought over the question of whether to save him or not.

She really wanted to go to Luoyang. What if she really knew the powerful people in Luoyang?

At this time, Zhang Liao looked at Liu Zhaoqing, and when he saw him nod to him, Zhang Liao pulled the reins and rode his horse to the woman.

Looking at the woman who was still kowtowing, Zhang Liao sighed slightly: "Don't you understand yet? The benefactor is not greedy for your money or beauty, nor does he need you to be a slave."

"We have shown our goodwill, but you have been doubting and hiding things. We don't even know who you are or what you are going to do in Luoyang. How can we be confident in bringing you along?"

The woman raised her head, a hint of hesitation flashed across her beautiful eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she raised her head and said, "Then...if I tell you, will you take me with you?"

"Then you have to say it first, right?" Zhang Liao said helplessly. She didn't know why a woman should hide such things at this time. Wasn't she being a little too cautious?

At this time, Liu Zhaoqing looked around and found that many refugees were staring at this side.

Although they are not bad people, they will do crazy things under the pressure of survival. Liu Zhaoqing can save the people of a county, but he cannot save the people of an entire state.

If only one or a few people were saved, then the consequences of the woman's previous act of saving people would be a backdrop.

"Let's talk in the less crowded area in front. Wenyuan, remember to take her dagger."

After Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, he rode away.

Is this a promise?

The woman looked up, her eyes somewhat confused.

Zhang Liao didn't want to say anything anymore. This guy was probably obsessed with "going to Luoyang" and wouldn't listen to anything he said.

After putting away her dagger and taking her to his horse, Zhang Liao followed Liu Zhaoqing on horseback.

After the woman got on the horse, she suddenly remembered something: "Mi, my Mi is still there."

Zhang Liao was also a little tired and ignored her.

-

After arriving at a deserted area again, Liu Zhaoqing and Zhang Liao entered the woods, and then dismounted at the same time.

The woman saw Liu Zhaoqing opening a package and taking out some bottles and jars. She was immediately startled and asked, "Are you a disease doctor?"

"Do you think I look like her?" Liu Zhaoqing glanced at her, then put away his package and went to the other side of the horse. It turned out that he just opened the wrong bag.

This answer made the woman look a little disappointed, and then she saw Liu Zhaoqing walking towards her with two pieces of dried meat and handing them to her.

After a moment of silence, the woman said, "This, is for me?"

"You were so scared that you even lost the porridge. I guess you didn't want to eat today? It's better to eat well before you go on your journey." Liu Zhaoqing said, and then perhaps felt that his words were a bit ambiguous, so he added another sentence.

"I mean, don't let yourself get jolted to death by the horse before you get to Luoyang."
