Three Kingdoms: I switched to Liu Bei, why are you crying, Cao Cao?

Chapter 15: Zhao Ji and Zhen Ji, Secretly Passing Through Chencang

At the same time, east of Xuchang, outside Xinji City.

Qin Zhen had already brought Xu Shu and a dozen knights waiting here.

But in the distance, a group of carriages and horses approached. After a while, a young man ran out and shouted:
"Brother, I'm here!"

Seeing the young man, Xu Shu also showed a look of joy and went forward to greet him.

This young man was Xu Shu's younger brother Xu Kang.

When Xu Kang approached, he bowed to Xu Shu first, then to Qin Zhen and said:

"Boy Xu Kang, nice to meet Mr. Qin!"

Seeing his appearance, Qin Zhen waved his hand and said:

"I am now a commoner, so please do not address me as a lord!"

"Is Madam Xu okay?"

"Thank you Mr. for your concern. My mother is doing well!"

Xu Kang hesitated for a while:

"Madam and Miss, they are all in the car now!"

After hearing this, Qin Zhen and Xu Shu looked at each other and then walked towards the carriage.

The two came to the front of the carriage. Xu Shu went to greet his mother, while Qin Zhen came to the front of the other carriage and said with a smile:
"Madam, you must be tired after running around for so many days!"

"Daddy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the car door opened and a little girl ran out. Her little face was full of joy and her big eyes were full of starry light. When she saw Qin Zhen, she opened her arms and asked for a hug.

This is Qin Zhen’s daughter Xiaosui’er, who is only five years old and looks like a porcelain doll.

Seeing his daughter, Qin Zhen responded with a smile, hugged her tightly, and gently touched her nose with his hand:
"I haven't seen you for more than a month. Does Sui'er miss daddy?"

Xiao Sui buried her head in Qin Zhen's arms and kept rubbing her little head against him:

"You can think about it, you can think about it!"

"Sui'er looks forward to seeing Daddy every day, but Daddy never comes back!"

Listening to her babyish words, Qin Zhen burst into laughter.

At this moment, a voice came from inside the car:

"Sui'er, stop pestering your father!"

As he spoke, a beautiful woman stepped out.

I saw a woman with a ponytail on her head, moon-shaped earrings in her ears, fingers like peeled onion roots, a red lipstick in her mouth, a purple waist-length jacket, a dark brown skirt, and black silk shoes. She walked out with slow and graceful steps.

This is the famous talented woman of all ages, Cai Yan, also known as Cai Zhaoji.

Although she has been married for six years, Cai Yan is only twenty-three years old now.

This is the age when a woman is most charming.

Watching Zhao Ji walk out, Qin Zhen held his daughter in one hand, and quickly reached out to take Zhao Ji's hand and said:

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am!"

He still felt a little guilty towards Cai Yan.

Over the years, they fought wars in the south and the north, and were separated from each other for most of the time. The entire family business was managed by Cai Yan.

The pair of delicate hands playing the piano were not as smooth as before.

The good days didn't last long, and now they have to leave with him again.

He did feel a little guilty.

But when Cai Yan saw this, she stroked Qin Zhen's hair with heartache and said:

"My husband, you are always like this!"

"We came here by car, why should we bother?"

"But my husband has been rushing here, and no one has even taken care of his hair."

As she spoke, she came forward and carefully tidied Qin Zhen's clothes.

Qin Zhen raised the corner of his mouth when he heard this, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at his wife's soft features quietly.

But at this moment, an untimely voice suddenly sounded:
"Hey! These two are so jealous!"

Looking up, he saw a beautiful girl coming out of the carriage. Her appearance was three parts similar to Cai Yan, but with a more youthful look.

In addition, he had been with Qin Zhen since he was young, so his words seemed quite unorthodox.

As soon as Cai Yao came out, she said sourly: "Looking at the state of your family of three, shouldn't I have come?"

When Cai Yan heard this, she turned around and said angrily:

"You are the one causing trouble. You are an outsider there again!"

Upon hearing this, Cai Yao looked at Qin Chen with a sour expression and said:
"If we weren't strangers, my brother-in-law wouldn't ask any questions, as if I was left in Xuchang and didn't come with us!"

Seeing Cai Yao joking, Qin Zhen stepped forward and touched her forehead and said in a deep voice:

"You girl, you didn't come out to answer, but you blamed me for not asking. But you didn't copy enough books, so you should be punished by copying the Book of Rites a hundred times!"

Cai Yao listened, turned her head away angrily and said:
"Humph, my brother-in-law always bullies people!"

Seeing this, Cai Yan stepped forward, took Cai Yao's hand and said:
"My husband is doing this for your own good. You are already at engagement age, but if you are still like this, how can you be engaged in the future?"

"I won't marry!"

Cai Yao immediately responded as if she had been hit in the foot:
"My brother-in-law said that marriage should be free!"

"Sister, you can't decide for me!"

"You girl!"

This time it was Cai Yan's turn to be unhappy.

Qin Zhen smiled and said:

"Alright, stop making trouble. Madam Xu and the others have been waiting for a long time!"

"We still have to travel today. Madam, please take Zhenji and Sui'er into the car!"

Cai Yan nodded when she heard this, but Cai Yao said:

"By the way, brother-in-law, you haven't told me why we are leaving?"

"We are living in Xuchang very well, why should we go somewhere else?"

Seeing this, Cai Yan was afraid that Cai Yao would touch Qin Zhen's sore spot, so she hurriedly said:

"Don't say anything, Zhen Ji. Your husband has his own plans!"

Qin Zhen stepped forward and touched Cai Yao's head and said:
"Jeong-hee, you are still young. There are many things in life that are not satisfactory. If you take fewer wrong paths, you will move forward."

"When you grow up, you will understand these principles naturally!"

Cai Yao had been raised by him since she was a child, and she was used to him touching her head, but after a while, she held her head high and said:
"Brother-in-law, don't look down on me. Yao'er has reached the age of marriage and is considered an adult!"

It must be said that the ancients did mature early. Looking at Cai Yao's two bulges, Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh:
"Okay, okay, it's big enough, big enough!"

"Get in the car first!"

Cai Yao listened to the praise and got into the car contentedly.

After everyone got on the carriage, Qin Zhen simply abandoned the horse and sat in the front of the carriage with the coachman, driving towards Xu Shu and others.

After walking up to her, Xu Shu gave his instructions to his mother and asked:

"Now that we have taken care of the family, what should we do?"

To put it nicely, he is a person who is quick to accept good advice; to put it bluntly, he has no strong opinions of his own.

When he is alone, he is quite resourceful.

But following Qin Zhen means always being submissive.

He would do whatever Qin Zhen planned to do.

Qin Zhen heard this, thought for a while and said:
"We have been away from the military camp for several days. I am afraid that Cao Gong's letter has arrived. Cheng Yu will know that I have left and will definitely send someone to intercept you and my family first."

"Now I will order the servants to split into three groups, which can delay the time for two days!"

"Once Cheng Yu comes to his senses, he will definitely search everywhere. We will definitely not be able to conceal our whereabouts."

"You can go south to Runan first and have someone prepare carriages and horses. After you arrive in Runan, you can leave the city with light luggage and then change carriages to go north!"

"This way, we can completely cut off Cao's army's eyes and ears and make them unaware of our whereabouts!"

Runan is now Yuan Shu's territory. After they arrived at Yuan Shu's territory, they changed cars and left. Not to mention that Cheng Yu didn't know their whereabouts, even Yuan Shu would find it difficult to track them down.

"What a great plan to sneak into the warehouse!"

Hearing this, Xu Shu nodded and smiled:

"Zixuan, this is a great idea. We should proceed in this way."

So they moved on again, heading south.
