The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

Jiang Zhe had met Zhang Yan, shook his head and sighed, then suddenly saw Tao Ying coming towards him and greeted him.

"Sir, are you here to see Zhang Yan?" Jiang Zhe now had some understanding of Tao Ying's frivolousness. "I heard from Yuanlong that you are getting married in three days (it's not that I don't know that 'getting married' is not a good word, but doesn't 'getting married' sound strange)? Then I must trouble you."

"Hehe." Jiang Zhe smiled slightly, then looked at Tao Ying with some curiosity and asked, "Why has Zicheng come here?"

"It's all because of Zhang Yan!" Tao Ying said, frowning. "I heard that Zhang Yan is one of the seventy-two minor tribal leaders. Luoyang has already issued a decree that all tribal leaders, regardless of rank, should be escorted to Luoyang and executed! The other generals should be killed on the spot!"

"Oh..." Jiang Zhe nodded, probably because those people in Luoyang wanted to make an example of someone, but unfortunately...

"Hmm?" Jiang Zhe suddenly thought of something strange and immediately asked, "Zhang Yan is the Junior Commander? How do you know?"

Tao Ying smiled smugly and said, "Finally, there's something you don't know, sir. Actually, yesterday, when Ziling went out on patrol, he captured several Yellow Turban spies. It was from them that we learned there was also a letter..."

Jiang Zhe suddenly realized, but he was a little puzzled. The Yellow Turbans' defeat was inevitable, and the people of Xuzhou were at peace and their morale was high. The Yellow Turbans could hardly do anything anymore. If they didn't leave quickly, were they still indulging in wishful thinking?

"letter?"

"Heh, what a laughable thing to do. That Yellow Turban general actually threatened us, saying that if we don't release their little leader immediately, our 5,000 Xuzhou soldiers who went out to fight will be wiped out... not to mention our supplies..."

"Zicheng, what do you think?" Jiang Zhe asked, frowning.

"In my opinion, this is nothing but the arrogant words of a treacherous general. My five thousand soldiers in Xuzhou are not clay chickens or clay dogs. The Yellow Turban rebels number only ten thousand or so. Why would they do something so thankless? Once Zhang Yan is escorted to Luoyang, your name will probably spread throughout the world..."

"Heh, what do I need that reputation for..." Jiang Zhe chuckled, then suddenly a thought struck him, and he looked at Tao Ying with a serious expression.

"Haha...ha...uh?" Tao Ying was taken aback and said strangely, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

"I see……"

Chen Deng has been extremely busy these past two days. Not only does he have to prepare the ceremonial guard, but he also has to send out invitations to the Mi family, Cao family, Tao family, Zhao family, and so on. However, after Jiang Zhe spoke up, he immediately removed most of them, leaving only some familiar ones.

However, out of consideration for the reputation of the Cao and Mi families, it was not appropriate not to send the invitation, but how the other party viewed the matter was unknown.

The third day was the auspicious day. Xiuer got up early and locked herself in her room, not allowing Jiang Zhe to come in. Jiang Zhe was so anxious that he paced around outside. In the end, he had no choice but to peek through the crack in the door.

"So she's putting on makeup..." Jiang Zhe muttered to himself, swallowing hard as he peeked.

Xiuer tied up her long hair, applied some rouge, glanced sideways, and smiled slightly. She looked at herself carefully in the bronze mirror for a long time, and only came out after confirming that she hadn't forgotten anything.

Jiang Zhe, standing outside, was completely dumbfounded.

Dressed in a red brocade gown, with light or heavy makeup, delicate eyebrows, half-open phoenix eyes, and a captivating, electrifying gaze, every gesture and step she took exuded a charm unlike any she had ever shown before.

Xiuer bowed gracefully and called out "Husband," her voice as clear as pearls falling into a jade basin, truly melodious.

"Um...okay..." Jiang Zhe stared intently at Xiu'er, muttering to himself, "Xiu'er is quite different today..."

"The auspicious time has arrived!" Chen Deng shouted from outside the door.

(Okay, I really don't know how marriage was done in the Three Kingdoms period, so I'll borrow from later eras...)

"Then...then let's go..." Jiang Zhe was a little afraid to look Xiu'er in the eye, a kind of intoxicating feeling.

"Husband..." Xiu'er took out a red handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Zhe.

"Oh..." Jiang Zhe swallowed hard and covered Xiu'er with the red handkerchief.

Xiuer obediently lowered her head, letting Jiang Zhe cover her with the red handkerchief, and then took Jiang Zhe's hand and walked out.

Many people came, including Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Mi Zhen, Sun Mao, Chen Deng (…), Chen Gui, Tao Ying, and Fang Yue. Tao Qian was busy with official duties and only came to give gifts. Cao Bao disliked Chen Deng and only gave some gifts. He didn't even step into Jiang Zhe's house.

Besides these, there were also some ordinary people from the neighborhood, most of whom were familiar to Jiang Zhe and Xiu'er. But when would these ordinary people ever get to see such important figures as Chen Deng and Mi Zhu? Let alone Chen Gui coming in person.

Bowing to Heaven and Earth...

The second bow to the parents... Neither of the parents were present. Chen Deng thought for a long time and then said that he would ask his father to do it in his place. You know, in ancient times, it was already a rare thing to invite a famous person to preside over a wedding, let alone a famous scholar like Chen Gui.

Chen Gui chuckled as he drank Jiang Zhe and Xiu'er's Heytea. He now had a high opinion of this young man named Jiang Zhe, and since it was his son's suggestion, he readily agreed.

Husband and wife bow to each other...

And then what was it again? Being led to the bridal chamber? Hehe, that's a long way off!

As soon as Jiang Zhe finished bowing, he was pulled away by a large group of people, mostly led by Fang Yue and Tao Ying. The soldiers from Xuzhou who came today were just some representatives. In a few days, Jiang Zhe would have to go to the military camp to fulfill his promise from that day.

As Zhang Yan was being escorted out of the city, she naturally heard the joy from somewhere, and her expression softened.

"Let's go!" A dozen or so Xuzhou soldiers behind Zhang Yan frowned as they looked at her.

Zhang Yan's eyes turned cold, and she was about to leave when a voice suddenly rang out, "Zi'an, wait!"

"Sir?" Zhang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

The person who came was Jiang Zhe? Jiang Zhe came over carrying a wine bag in one hand and a cup in the other. It turned out that he had heard that Zhang Yan had been escorted to Luoyang at this moment, so he came in a hurry because he had some things to tell him.

"Sir..." Zhang Yan held up her glass, watching Jiang Zhe fill it for her, her eyes slightly moist.

"Cheers!" Jiang Zhe downed his drink in one gulp, as did Zhang Yan.

"Goodbye! Go now!" Jiang Zhe said in a deep voice, looking straight at Zhang Yan.

"...Sir?" Zhang Yan was taken aback.

"Don't come again..." Bao Quan uttered a soft sentence, and Jiang Zhe drifted away.

Zhang Yan's eyes widened suddenly, her heart filled with fear. Was there really someone in the world who could foresee everything?

Zhang Yan watched Jiang Zhe's departing figure with mixed feelings, his words from that day echoing in her ears. She sighed softly, perhaps the Yellow Turbans... were truly not the ones who could bring peace to the world...

Meanwhile, the Yellow Turban leader, the Great Teacher, the Heavenly General... are critically ill...

"The Great and Wise Teacher..."

"Cough...cough...White Knight, my days are numbered..."

"No... I have not yet witnessed the prosperous era that my master spoke of. How could my master depart for heaven?"

"Foolish child!" Zhang Jiao scolded, but his tone was quite calm. "Now I finally understand the advice of the Immortal of Nanhua: one cannot defy Heaven..."

"But I refuse to accept this! How can such a foolish ruler and such a corrupt government govern the world?" Zhang Jiao glared at the sky and said angrily, "Since you say the Han dynasty's destiny still exists, then I will sever that destiny... cough! puff..."

"A good teacher..."
