Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 118: Cai Yan, the Unlucky Husband
Zhang Sui looked at them, and his original joy suddenly disappeared.

But he didn't know how to comfort her.

If you fight a war, people will die.

Or in other words, in today's chaotic world, people will die not only in wars, but even if there is no war, people will die.

Take the city massacre for example, it happened more than a dozen times.

Zhang Sui just walked over one by one, patted their shoulders, then returned to his seat and fell asleep.

Unable to sleep, he recalled in his mind what happened with his wife.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the army began to reorganize.

The eldest son Yuan Tan was appointed as the governor of Qingzhou by Yuan Shao, the governor of Jizhou. Therefore, he would lead an army of 15,000 and station himself in Ju County, the capital of Beihai County, and continue to plot against other counties in Qingzhou, and even go south to Xuzhou.

The deputy driver Tian Feng selected strong men and rushed to Yecheng with him to prepare to form cavalry.

Deputy Governor Tian Feng selected three thousand men, including Zhang Sui and his fifty-two men.

Among them, Zhang Sui obtained a set of armor!
Although there are some damages on the shoulders of this armor.

After speaking a few more words to the eldest son Yuan Tan, Tian Feng led 3,000 men straight to Linji Port.

Here, Beijia Tian Feng took Qian Zhao away!
Qian Zhao temporarily resigned from his post as the commander of Gaotang Port and returned to Yecheng with his deputy Tian Feng.

Afterwards, the army rushed to the plain and then headed all the way to Yecheng.

When we arrived in Yecheng, it was already early morning on December 29th.

Deputy Governor Tian Feng settled these 3,000 men in a camp at the south gate of Yecheng City, and agreed to gather at the camp on the third day of the first lunar month to formally organize the cavalry.

The days from the 29th to the second day of the first lunar month are considered a holiday period for 3,000 people.

Zhang Sui, team leader Zhen Hao, Huang Han and others went to the camp to confirm their tents.

Afterwards, the group headed straight into Yecheng.

This was the first time for everyone to visit a big city like Yecheng.

So is Zhang Sui.

He has been in Wuji County since he traveled through time.

Wuji County is a small county town.

And because it is close to Zhuo County and had encountered the Yellow Turbans before, the place is really shabby.

The most important thing is that there are refugees everywhere.

Especially near the city gates, refugees were lying all over the place.

I see people dying every day.

A frail old man, a desperate lady, and a child who was skin and bones.

Yecheng is obviously completely different from Wuji County.

There are various high-rise buildings, neatly planned shops and bustling markets here.

There weren't any refugees to be seen.

Laughter and joy can be seen everywhere.

A wide variety of goods can be seen everywhere.

While walking in Yecheng, Zhang Sui even felt dazed for a moment.

He thought this was a prosperous era, not the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Just when Zhang Sui wanted to buy something to eat, Zhen Hao patted Zhang Sui on the shoulder and said excitedly: "Zhen's shop!"

Zhang Sui looked in the direction Zhen Hao pointed.

Sure enough, he saw the words "Zhen Family" hanging on the door of a fabric shop.

After two major battles, Zhang Sui and his companions were delighted to see the "Zhen family" again in Yecheng, far away from Wuji County, and they hurried to greet them.

The shopkeeper obviously recognized Zhen Hao and asked excitedly: "Captain Zhen, why are you here?"

Captain Zhen Hao shook the shopkeeper's hand and laughed, "We were recruited from Wuji County and fought all the way. Because of our outstanding performance, we were transferred to Yecheng this time."

"The other driver gave us a few days off."

"We're just going out for a walk."

“Before I knew it, I was here.”

The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "That's great. You can spend the next three days in the shop with us."

"My wife has sent me a letter. She will be here tomorrow morning." Zhang Sui was overjoyed.

Beijia Tian Feng really keeps his word!

Zhen Hao asked curiously, "Why did Madam come here? Can Madam leave Wuji County?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's not very clear."

"That's for sure anyway."

"I asked the store staff to stock up on various items today. Once the lady arrives, we will have a good three days this year."

Captain Zhen Hao hurriedly looked at Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close.

The ladies are here.

How could I not stay here?
Zhang Sui hurriedly said, "Stay! You must stay here this time!"

Looking at the shopkeeper, Zhang Sui said, "There are dozens of people from the Zhen family who came here together—"

The shopkeeper looked at the captain Zhen Hao suspiciously.

Zhen Hao hurriedly introduced: "Shopkeeper, his name is Zhang Sui, he is the leader of us and the chief accountant of the Zhen family!"

The shopkeeper was surprised.

He is so young, yet he can become the captain Zhen Hao’s centurion and the chief reporter of the Zhen family!

The shopkeeper hurriedly said to Zhang Sui, "We, the Zhen family, can stay in any industry. There is a courtyard behind our shop, which is big enough for everyone to squeeze in! The lady will be here tomorrow, and she will be very happy to know that you are so promising."

Zhang Sui hurriedly asked Huang Han and others to return to the camp and called everyone else over.

The shopkeeper asked the clerk to make some herbal tea for Zhang Sui and team leader Zhen Hao.

Zhang Sui and team leader Zhen Hao stood at the counter of the store, chatting and watching the bustling scene outside.

Captain Zhen Hao was obviously a little excited and described to the shopkeeper the tragic scene of killing Qu Yi.

The shopkeeper was amazed and exclaimed from time to time.

Just then, a young woman wearing a yellow dress, with a thin figure, tall and slender body and a flat chest walked in.

The shopkeeper interrupted Captain Zhen Hao and walked over to him, saying with a smile, "Mrs. Cai, are you here to pick up your clothes?"

The young woman hummed.

The shopkeeper said, "Then wait a moment, I will get it for you now."

As the shopkeeper walked into the store, he asked the clerk to bring tea and pastries to the young woman.

The young woman was not polite either.

Taking the herbal tea and pastries from the clerk, she sipped them while looking at the people passing by outside with a dull look.

Captain Zhen Hao nudged Zhang Sui with his elbow, pursed his lips at the young woman, and whispered in her ear, "She's very pretty, but a little bit inferior to the Second Miss. It's mainly her body. The Second Miss has a lot of flesh on her body, while she doesn't have much flesh on her body."

Zhang Sui nodded but did not reply.

After waiting for a while, the shopkeeper took out a package and handed it to the young woman, saying, "Mrs. Cai, here it is. Check it out when you go back. If there is anything that doesn't fit, come directly to us and we will refit it for you free of charge."

The young woman nodded to the shopkeeper and left with the package.

It was not until the young woman disappeared in the crowd outside that Captain Zhen Hao said, "Boss, what's going on? Who is this woman? She's so pretty, like the Second Miss!"

The shopkeeper sighed, and then said unhappily, "Please don't slander the Second Miss."

"If the Second Miss knew about this, you would be in trouble."

"This lady is called Cai Yan, the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong, and the former second young lady of the Hedong Wei family."

Zhang Sui: “.”

Cai Wenji?
To be precise, she was still called Cai Zhaoji at that time.

It was her!

The shopkeeper continued, "This Madam Cai is extremely talented, perhaps even our Second Miss is far inferior to her."

"But she is unlucky."

"Less than three months after she got married, the second son of the Wei family was killed by her."

"She also has a bad temper."

"The old lady of the Wei family said something about her being a jinx to her husband, and she couldn't stand it, so she cut off ties with the Wei family and came to Yecheng alone."
