Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 71 Paper Armor
When the second lady Zhen Mi heard what her lady said, Zhang Sui's figure subconsciously appeared in her mind.

This lecher is probably the smartest male servant in the mansion.

Although he is a little more colorful.

However, as soon as this idea came to her mind, she rejected it.

His mother has even promised him marriage with Hongyu!

Could it be possible that I could still share a man with Hongyu?
That is absolutely impossible.

Although she thought so, her mind was filled with the scene of Zhang Sui stroking her palm.

The second lady Zhen Mi was a little annoyed.

Why is this lecher so persistent?

Why does it always appear in my head?
Thinking of this lecher and of him stroking her palm, the second lady Zhen Mi recalled Zhang Sui's fortune-telling.

This time, the allied forces of Qu Yi and Yan Rou were able to defeat Gongsun Zan!
It's exactly the same as his calculation!
Find some time and ask him to help his mother calculate?
But, now is not the time.

Forcefully banishing Zhang Sui from her mind, the Second Miss Zhen Mi smiled and said, "No, mother, I'm not in a hurry for now," she said, facing her wife's eager gaze.

"It's up to you, mother."

"If you really meet someone you like, please be sure to tell us."

"As children, we still hope that our mother can live a happy life."

When the lady heard what the Second Miss Zhen Mi said, tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.

She had been somewhat uneasy before, fearing that her second daughter would object.

But I didn't expect that she could be so sensible.

Wiping the corners of her eyes with her slender white fingers, the lady forced a smile and said, "Okay, I will definitely remember this."

Let’s talk about Zhang Sui returning to his courtyard.

Some people have already returned to the courtyard.

Under normal circumstances, everyone would not be able to come back and would have to continue opening warehouses at the door to distribute food.

Due to this sudden incident, most of the refugees were led away by Captain Zhen Hao and his troops to attack the four major families to steal food. As a result, the number of refugees waiting for relief at the Zhen family's main gate and back door was greatly reduced, and everyone was able to return.

However, everyone also heard about the refugees attacking the county government office and the four major families.

At this moment, everyone saw Zhang Sui coming back and surrounded him.

"Bocheng, what happened today?"

"I heard that there are some of our people among these refugees. Will this attract a crackdown from the Jizhou government?"

Deputy Captain Zhao Xu also came over.

Facing the expectant and anxious gazes of the crowd, Zhang Sui hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "Among the refugees today, there are indeed people I arranged."

"There is no other way. Because our Zhen family has fallen into decline, and because Zhao Yun killed the previous head of the Liu family, the heads of the four major families asked their wives to come over today and force us to bring Zhao Yun out to give them an explanation."

Zhang Sui sneered and said, "How is this possible?"

"Zhao Yun fought for our Zhen family. If we abandon Zhao Yun, how can we face others?"

"Moreover, they have long seen that our Zhen family has fallen on hard times and want to bully us."

"We can't be cowardly, and we can't retreat."

"Evil forces are like this. The more you show weakness, the more they will push you further."

"Under the current circumstances, our Zhen family can only be tough to the end."

“Otherwise, it will be swallowed up sooner or later.”

"So, I used the refugees to destroy the granaries of the four major families."

“But this is not enough.”

"We have to use this group of refugees to completely suppress the four major families and make our Zhen family even stronger."

"The current situation of our Zhen family is like a small boat going against the current."

"It's impossible to maintain the status quo."

"We can either retreat or advance."

"So, everyone, get ready!"

"Our peaceful days have been shattered."

"Although this is not what we want, if our Zhen family wants to persevere, we may have to go to the battlefield."

“Heroes emerge in troubled times, and heroes are born in times of crisis.”

“Although one general’s fame is based on the sacrifice of thousands of men, in troubled times, if we don’t fight, our fate will be controlled by others.”

"Everyone should have felt what happened when Qu Yi came here before."

"Also, this time, if our Zhen family had someone powerful enough, why would we need to invite Zhao Yun?"

"The most important thing is——"

Zhang Sui raised his eyebrows and said, "Everyone, even though my words are vulgar."

"But it is the truth."

"If we don't fight and make achievements, then we will always be the Zhen family's followers in this life."

"We are young now, and the Zhen family will still want us."

"When we get older, will the Zhen family be kind enough to provide us with old-age care?"

"We must eventually have our own home, our own woman, and our own children."

"Besides, no matter how beautiful or fragrant the painting I draw for you is, it can't smell like a real woman."

"But, in our situation, it is impossible for us to have a real woman." "If we want to have a real woman, we can only change our status."

"If we can get rid of our military status and get a position, wouldn't it be easy to have a woman?"

Pointing to the direction of the county government office behind him, Zhang Sui sneered, "The county magistrate Zhang Shen is a fat man with big ears. If I remember correctly, he has several concubines."

"You are not as good as him?"

Zhang Sui himself didn't want to fight!

Living in the Zhen family with a wife, children and a warm bed, isn't that good?

However, he had not imagined that the Zhen family's situation would be so bad!
If he doesn't show up today, how can a woman like me face the vicious faces of the four major families?

Or, force the second daughter to follow the historical trajectory and marry Yuan Shao's second son Yuan Xi?
Then am I still a man?

Not to mention, thinking about history now, Yuan Xi was not a good choice.

Thinking of the scene of the refugees being driven out today, Zhang Sui felt a little moved.

With his understanding of history, perhaps, with the help of the Zhen family, he could also make a difference in the late Han Dynasty.

If you always keep a low profile, you will end up having to act according to other people's wishes.

When I am old and can no longer do anything in the future, will the Zhen family still value me so much?
After all, people will feel more at ease if they rely on themselves.

Moreover, he had a golden finger. If he stripped his upper body naked and trained for half an hour every day, he could increase his strength by 0.1 catties.

Has a chance to trigger a critical hit.

This is clearly intended to make you a military general!

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, all the soldiers were tempted.

It's a lie to say they don't like women.

If they really had the chance to come into contact with women, who would be interested in the paintings Zhang Sui drew for them?

The problem is that there is no opportunity.

As soldiers, their heads were always hanging on their waists and their fate was not in their own hands.

Therefore, no one dared to marry a woman.

Deputy Captain Zhao Xu frowned and said, "There are indeed weapons in the Zhen family treasury."

"But if we only have weapons but no armor, we will die nine out of ten times if we go to the battlefield."

Zhao Xu sighed and said, "Even for someone like me, once I go to the battlefield, my chances of survival are slim."

"Zhao Yun's brother, you should know."

"The reason why he died early was that he was shot by arrows when he led the powerful to fight against the Yellow Turbans in his early years."

"Although the feather arrow was pulled out."

"But his injury has not healed."

"Then the disease relapsed and he died."

After hearing what Vice Captain Zhao Xu said, everyone calmed down.

Vice Captain Zhao Xu said: "A set of armor is too expensive."

"Let alone ordinary people, even if our Zhen family gathered all their wealth, we couldn't buy a few sets of armor."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Sui fell silent.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Among the short videos I watched before traveling through time, there were some about armor.

He has watched two issues.

Among them is the process of making paper armor.

very convenient.

Moreover, the defense of paper armor is not weak.

Although paper was not cheap in that era, if one only used the cheapest yellow paper, the cost would naturally be much smaller than that of armor.

Moreover, if you use paper armor, it is not difficult to put together dozens of sets.

The only inconvenience is the rainy day.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sui said, "I have some ideas about the armor. Maybe I can get some."

Everyone looked at Zhang Sui.

Deputy Captain Zhao Xu asked anxiously: "How do you do this?"

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "Let's get it out first."

He didn't dare to boast until he made it.

He had to make a set of paper armor himself.

If we fail to produce it, it will be a huge embarrassment.

When everyone heard Zhang Sui say this, they suddenly felt helpless.

But it's not easy to force.

It was gradually getting dark.

The servant brought dinner.

Zhang Sui was just about to eat with his troops when he heard a female voice saying, "Is the master here?"
