The Three Kingdoms: Home Travel

Early that morning, a force of about five thousand cavalry appeared outside Luoyang, which really startled the soldiers on the city wall. There were five thousand cavalry!

"You wicked man, will you take me and my sister out to play?" Mi Zhen blinked her cute eyes, after all, she needed his help.

"I'm not going!" Jiang Zhe said, frowning.

"hateful!"

"Zhen'er..." Xiu'er pulled Mi Zhen closer, glanced at her husband, and asked, "Husband, is something on your mind?"

Jiang Zhe simply waved his hand.

"Oh..." Seeing that Jiang Zhe's expression was not very good, Xiu'er pulled Mi Zhen away.

"No, I must talk to the old man and make things clear. If Dong Zhuo enters the palace, the consequences will be unimaginable... Never mind, I'd better leave quickly, but... this Wang Yun..."

Reflecting on the days he had spent with Wang Yun, he felt that the old man was just a bit stubborn, a bit feudal, a bit self-centered, and a bit blindly loyal to the royal family, but otherwise he was alright...

"Young Master, the Master wants to see you..." a servant came to report.

"I'm not going!" Jiang Zhe was in a bad mood and refused without even hearing what was said. The servant left with a strange expression.

Why don't we just take Xiu'er and leave tonight...?

"Young Master, Miss Cai..."

"No!" Jiang Zhe said with a frown, then paused, looked up, and saw Cai Yan standing outside the door looking at him in surprise.

"Sorry, sorry..." Jiang Zhe said awkwardly, "I was thinking about something just now."

"Oh..." Cai Yan entered the room and said, "I thought Shouyi didn't welcome me..."

"No...that's not it..."

"I have come here on my father's orders. He asks you, Shouyi, to go to the Cai residence the day after tomorrow. My father has invited many talented people. If you are free, Shouyi, you may go. As I said a few days ago, although I do not understand military strategy, I am impressed by your expertise in it..."

"No problem...no problem..."

Cai Yan glanced cautiously at Jiang Zhe and said softly, "Shouyi, won't you even offer me a cup of tea?"

"Huh?" Jiang Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then walked to the door and said, "Um... um, whoever it is, could you pour me two cups of tea..."

When the servant saw that it was the young master speaking, he immediately scurried away.

Cai Yan looked at Jiang Zhe with surprise, while Luo seemed lost in thought.

"Hey, this is Luoyang? It's much more prosperous than Xiliang..." One of the three or five men who walked in from under the city gate said.

"Nonsense!" The man's companion chuckled. "How can Xiliang compare to the capital of the Han Dynasty... Huh?" The man frowned deeply, staring intently in one direction, muttering to himself, "Impossible... How could this be?"

"Gongzheng..."

"Sister Xiuer, that bad guy never takes us out to play, and you even make clothes for him? If you ask me, I'd rather he freeze to death!" Mi Zhen was still resentful that Jiang Zhe didn't take them out to play.

"Zhen'er, your husband has his own things to do..." Xiu'er replied to Mi Zhen with a smile, then suddenly felt something and turned her head to see a man staring blankly at her by the roadside, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

"Another lecher! Sister Xiuer, let's go!"

"Oh..." Xiu'er glanced back, frowning as she thought, "I feel like I've seen this person somewhere before... Who is it?"

"Kyomasa?"

"Hmm?" The person who had been staring at Xiu'er snapped out of their daze and said in a daze, "It's so similar..."

"What's so similar?" someone asked curiously. "Could it be that you're attracted to her looks? Don't even think about it! Judging from that woman's headdress, she's obviously already married. Haha, you're out of luck..."

"What did you say?" The man carefully recalled what had just happened and indeed noticed that the woman's hair was tied up, and she was dressed like a married woman. He immediately said in surprise, "How...how is this possible? Strange, very strange..."

On the other side, Mi Zhen noticed Xiu'er looking back frequently and asked curiously, "Sister Xiu'er, what are you looking back at?"

"How strange..." Xiu'er said, frowning. "That person looks very much like someone from my sister's hometown when she was young..."

"Huh?" Mi Zhen asked, "Isn't my sister in Luoyang?"

"No..." Xiu'er explained with a smile, "My sister spent her childhood in Bingzhou with my father, and later he went to the capital and came to Luoyang... So it was him!"

"Sister?" Mi Zhen asked curiously, "Could it be a friend from your hometown, or... Hehe, I'll go tell that villain!"

"So what?" Xiu'er said with a smile, "It was all just childhood banter..." As she spoke, the image of a tall boy involuntarily appeared in her mind.

"Times have changed, I wonder how he is doing?" Xiu'er sighed.

"Hehe!" Mi Zhen said strangely, "I wonder who Sister Xiu'er is thinking about? I'm going to secretly tell that wicked man, so he'll be worried for once!"

"Giggle!" Xiu'er chuckled and patted Mi Zhen's head, teasingly saying, "Sister is the head wife of the Jiang family, little sister, don't offend her..."

Mi Zhen blushed instantly and said reproachfully, "I'm not talking to my sister anymore..."

"Hehe..." The two women chuckled softly and returned to Wang Yun's residence.

Jiang Zhe looked on in astonishment, "Wei...Wei Zhongdao?"

Cai Yan glanced at Jiang Zhe with surprise, nodded, and said, "There is such a person, and he was also among those invited by my father..."

Jiang Zhe looked at Cai Yan strangely, thinking to himself, "This short-lived ghost really came? Is this how Cai Yan married this short-lived ghost?"

Unable to withstand Jiang Zhe's gaze, Cai Yan lowered her head and said, "I wonder what Shouyi has to say about...the matter of the day after tomorrow..."

"This..." Jiang Zhe scratched his head, feeling a bit troubled.

Cai Yan bit her lip and said, "If upholding righteousness is acceptable, then let's leave it at that..."

"Oh, right!" Jiang Zhe suddenly remembered something and asked, "Miss Cai, are you perhaps planning to visit each family one by one? Why not send an invitation? That would be much more convenient!"

Cai Yan was speechless, thinking to herself, "How could I possibly visit each and every household? My father said it was only you."

Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly heard a woman's voice outside the door, "You wicked person, let me tell you, today my sister..."

Mi Zhen was about to tell what had just happened when she glanced into the room and froze.

"Don't be silly!" Xiu'er, afraid that Jiang Zhe would misunderstand, walked in. When she saw Cai Yan, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "And this is...?"

Jiang Zhe quickly stood up, pulled Xiu'er aside, and said in detail, "Uncle Cai's daughter, Miss Cai Yan..."

Xiuer pouted, a little jealous, and gave Jiang Zhe a resentful look, which immediately made Jiang Zhe feel very uncomfortable.

"She came on behalf of her father to invite me to some...something...poetry...gathering!"

"Oh!" Xiu'er responded softly, sticking out her tongue playfully and giving Jiang Zhe an apologetic look.

Jiang Zhe breathed a sigh of relief and took Xiu'er's hand, saying, "Miss Cai, this is Zhe's wife, Xiu'er! Xiu'er, this is Miss Cai Yan, Uncle Cai's daughter..."

"Just call me Zhaoji..." Cai Yan looked at Xiu'er, her heart filled with astonishment. She had heard her father say that Jiang Zhe had a wife, and that her father valued Jiang Zhe and wanted to take her away... But she never expected that Jiang Zhe's wife would be like this...

Unable to resist Xiuer's confident gaze, Cai Yan bit her lip and lowered her head.

"I am indeed a year older than you, my sister..." Xiu'er felt a little smug. "If you don't mind, you can just call me Sister Xiu'er..." Then, seeing the embarrassment on Cai Yan's face, she thought to herself, "My husband is really something! How can he so easily attract women... Ah! I mustn't be jealous... As the ancients said..."

"What about me!" Mi Zhen glared at Jiang Zhe defiantly. "Why didn't you introduce me?"

Jiang Zhe pursed his lips and said to Cai Yan, "This is Zhe's pageboy; just call him 'maid'!"

"What a scoundrel! He's your page!" Mi Zhen said angrily, then blushed as she saw Cai Yan staring at her in surprise. She chuckled and said, "He's just too awful..."

Alright! Jiang Zhe shook his head and sat down, thinking about how to please Xiu'er that evening. After all, Xiu'er was his wife, and he couldn't let her feel wronged, could he? But he hadn't provoked Cai Yan, had he? She had asked him a few questions that she had been struggling with for a long time, and he had helped her out of kindness...

"Shouyi!" A loud shout rang out at the door, and Wang Yun stormed in, his face contorted with rage. "I summoned you, and you dare..."

"Uncle, are you well..." Cai Yan and Xiu'er both said respectfully, while Mi Zhen walked away a little bit, somewhat afraid.

"Fine...fine..." Wang Yun's face twitched, and he said, "Why did your father summon you? Could it be..." He glanced at Jiang Zhe and immediately said, "Ahem! I won't concern myself with this matter. Let Shouyi think it over himself..."

Upon hearing this, Cai Yan blushed. Cai Yong had mentioned it to her before, but Cai Yan had some reservations. She had met Jiang Zhe; he was very mysterious and extremely learned, but…

Upon hearing Wang Yun's words, Xiu'er's expression changed immediately, and she bit her lip, remaining silent.

Realizing he might have said something wrong, Wang Yun glanced awkwardly at Xiu'er, then at Cai Yan, his expression turning strange. He coughed and said, "Ahem! Remember to come to my place afterwards; I have important matters to discuss with you..."

"Yes……"

Wang Yun nodded and left.

After Wang Yun left, the atmosphere in the room immediately became strange.

Cai Yan inherited her father's skills and learned calligraphy, painting, and playing the zither from a young age. She was also very proud of her appearance, so how could she be willing to be inferior to the woman opposite her, regardless of the fact that the woman opposite her was also a rare beauty in the world?

Mi Zhen blinked as she watched Xiu'er confront the woman surnamed Cai, then pouted and glared at Jiang Zhe.

"That old man is always causing trouble!" Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth in hatred.

"Upholding righteousness..."

"Who is it again!" Jiang Zhe shouted, startling the three women who stared at him in surprise.

"Shou...Shouyi?" Cao Cao's expression froze, and he stood at the door at a loss. But when he saw the scene inside the room, he suddenly realized that he had probably come at the wrong time.

"...Since Shouyi has matters to attend to, Cao Cao will come again tomorrow..."

"No, no, no!" How could Jiang Zhe possibly let go of Cao Cao, his lifeline? He quickly went over and grabbed Cao Cao tightly, saying, "Mengde, it's good that you've come, it's good that you've come! I have something important to discuss with you. Shall we talk in the living room? No, no, no, let's talk outside, let's talk outside..."

Jiang Zhe pulled a bewildered Cao Cao out the door, then turned back and said, "Xiuer, I have important matters to discuss with Brother Mengde. Please entertain Miss Cai for me..."

"My lord, please depart. I understand..."

After leaving Wang Yun's residence, Cao Cao laughed and scolded, "You, Jiang Shouyi, I treated you with utmost sincerity, yet you used me as a shield?!"

Jiang Zhe said with a wry smile, "I had no choice, I had no choice..."

"We can't just give up like this!" Cao Cao laughed. "I was starving on this journey and originally wanted to come to Shouyi's place to get some food, but now..."

"That's easy!" Jiang Zhe said. "I have some money; I can definitely treat Mengde to a meal. Please! Wait, I have something else to tell you..."

"Oh?" Cao Cao glanced at Jiang Zhe's expression, immediately his smile vanished, and said, "I understand. We'll proceed!"
