Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

"Jiaojiao doesn't know? That's the Way of Peace, founded by Zhang Jiao from Julu, Jizhou. He calls himself the Great Teacher of Virtue, and his followers are spread all over the world. Now there are probably hundreds of thousands of them."

The Way of Peace, Zhang Jiao, the Great Teacher of Virtue... these words sound so familiar.

A sudden inspiration flashed through Tang Yu's mind, and he grabbed Xun Yu's hand and asked him this question.

Have you ever heard of the name Cao Cao?

Xun Yu found his wife's question rather strange, but he still responded seriously.

"Cao Cao is currently a court advisor. His grandfather was Cao Teng, a former eunuch, and his father, Cao Song, was one of the Three Dukes..."

Although Cao Song's position as one of the Three Dukes was bought, he did indeed hold a high position and came from a prominent family, like Tang Yu, who was part of the eunuch faction.

Xun Yu was quite surprised that even his wife was unaware of the power of the eunuchs.

It wasn't that Tang Yu was too laid-back and didn't pay attention to the outside world; it was simply that the Tang family had been observing mourning for the past few years.

Tang Heng passed away when Tang Yu was a few years old. Tang Yu, being a young child, had to observe mourning, so he lived a lonely life with few people visiting him.

When he was a little over ten years old, his biological father, Tang Zhen, passed away, and he began to observe mourning again.

Not long after the mourning period ended, she was engaged again, so she rarely went out to visit others and therefore did not know much about the distribution of power among various factions.

The elders in the clan, who were responsible for this kind of education, naturally poured resources into the next generation of boys. They wouldn't pay any attention to Tang Yu, a woman who had lost her father and was about to be married off.

This resulted in Tang Yu having few channels to understand matters of the imperial court.

Therefore, Tang Yu could only stay at home and research food and drink, like a salted fish.

But now, Tang Yu was shocked; she finally realized what era this was.

The late Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into the Three Kingdoms!

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it seems that the Eastern Han court completely lost control over the local areas, and soon the chaotic world began.

Tang Yu naturally couldn't remember the specific details of the process.

But now she understands something else: the world is about to descend into chaos!

"Jiaojiao, why are you focusing on Cao Cao? Is there a problem?"

Tang Yu's worried expression greatly concerned Xun Yu.

"Wenruo, the Taiping Dao is sure to cause trouble. We need to prepare in advance."

Xun Yu hadn't expected his wife to be worried about such a thing, and he sighed.

"In fact, insightful people in the court have already noticed the dangers of the Way of Peace and have advised His Majesty, but His Majesty has not taken it to heart."

"No, I'm not asking you to find a way to inform the Emperor about this. I have a gut feeling."

"When chaos breaks out, there will be shortages of food and cloth. We must make preparations in advance to avoid being caught in a passive situation."

If possible, it would be best to also prepare some weapons.

However, salt and iron are strictly regulated matters, and it's not something you can do just because you want to.

After all, the Xun family was a noble and upright clan, not a wealthy family. The manor they built was very luxurious, and they kept many chivalrous men as guards.

Therefore, these families would have the ability to protect themselves if they encountered turmoil, but the Xun family would absolutely not have that ability.

Although the family is large and has many members.

However, once chaos ensues, only those with a knife in their hands can reason, and might makes right.

If I remember correctly, before the Three Kingdoms period began, various warlords fought each other, resulting in countless deaths.

Tang Yu's complacency and indifference are predicated on the premise that the world is in a peaceful and prosperous era.

How can one remain a carefree person in a chaotic world?

It would be better to cause trouble.

The journey continued quickly, and after another day of travel, they finally arrived at Yan County, and soon they would reach the Tang family.

However, an accident occurred during the journey!

A dozen or so bandits armed with knives and guns surrounded their oxcart.

It seems that the world is indeed getting more and more chaotic. Even in a wealthy place like Yingchuan, more and more bandits are starting to appear!

Tang Yu and Xun Yu traveled with five servants.

One was Tang Yu's maid, responsible for organizing the trunks; the other four were all guards.

After all, neither of them were from the elite class, so this kind of outing was already quite intimidating.

But now there are more than a dozen enemies, and they are numerous and powerful.

So the group of people demanded aggressively that they hand over the boxes.

"Hmph! If you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure right now! I don't have the patience to waste time with you. If you dare say 'no,' see those gleaming knives in the hands of these brothers?"

We're ruthless killers; we don't care if you're male or female, young or old, you'll all lose your heads. Not a single one of you will survive!

Tang Yu: "..."

She's lived several lifetimes, and no bandit has ever managed to steal anything from her!

"Jiaojiao, these bandits have a murderous aura about them. They can't be after money alone. We must fight them with all our might!"

In other words, they do not agree with the method of handing over one's property in order to survive.

Xun Yu believed that this group of people would become even more ruthless.

"Wenruo, do you believe me?"

Xun Yu looked puzzled, but Tang Yu had already drawn a sword.

"Your wife is actually very capable; a dozen bandits are nothing to her."

I'll go out and deal with them myself. You just need to watch from the sidelines. Trust me.

After saying this, Tang Yu smiled and kissed Xun Yu's cheek.

Before Xun Yu could react, he was sent flying.

This made Xun Yu so nervous that his heart jumped out of his throat.

He subconsciously got off the oxcart, and then saw his wife suspended in mid-air like a goddess descending to earth.

The long sword in her hand seemed to possess a spiritual energy, each swing bringing with it a flash of cold light.

The dozen or so bandits never expected that such a beautiful woman would attack them.

Before they could even crack a mocking smile, Tang Yu's sword strikes were incredibly precise, each blade slicing through the bandits' bodies, splattering blood everywhere.

The screams of the bandits rose and fell one after another.

Some rolled on the ground clutching their wounds, while others stared wide-eyed in terror, unable to believe even in death that this seemingly frail woman possessed such terrifying strength.

Xun Yu, watching from the side, suddenly felt that the lady looked absolutely stunning.

Even though he was killing someone, he felt that the lady's figure was light and agile, and her swordsmanship in mid-air was like a graceful swan.

It was a beauty that transcended the mundane.

Dangerous yet fatally attractive, Xun Yu suddenly had a feeling that his bright future would surely soar to the heavens.

Chapter 7 Xun Yu of the Three Kingdoms

Since there are bandits, there are naturally bandit strongholds.

Tang Yu spared the lives of the two men and then turned to report the incident to the authorities. In such cases, it was always necessary to give an explanation to the local government.

The magistrate of Yan County, surnamed Fang, was greatly surprised to learn that the person who came to report to the authorities was Xun Yu of the Xun family, and that his wife was a descendant of the Tang family in Yan County.

At this time, as the county magistrate, he naturally had to suppress the bandits. Moreover, since both of them were from prominent local families, Magistrate Fang naturally dared not delay the matter.

So he immediately sent troops to besiege the bandit stronghold.

Sure enough, the bandits' stronghold had already gathered over a hundred people; only a portion of their brothers had come today.

Over the past six months, they have not only robbed and killed, but also captured many people and enslaved them in the village.

The magistrate mobilized two hundred men to besiege the mountain stronghold, but these bandits were formidable warriors who had fought their way through piles of corpses. The two hundred soldiers the magistrate sent couldn't break through their defenses for the time being.

Tang Yu originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but at this point, she had no choice but to pick up her bow and arrows and shoot them in one by one.

The group of fierce men never expected that someone could shoot them so accurately from such a distance. Screams erupted as several bandits fell to the ground.

After shooting down the fiercest men with an arrow, the government troops finally managed to break through the encirclement and stormed into the village!

"Lady Xun is truly a heroine among women!"

Magistrate Fang was sweating profusely.

To be honest, before this Lady Xun made her move, he really thought she was a delicate beauty.

I have absolutely no idea why Young Master Xun would bring his wife along to help suppress the bandits at a time like this.

But now he understands why more than a dozen of those bandits died. He thought it was because the Xun family's guards were powerful, but it turns out it was because Madam Xun was powerful!

After the bandit suppression was over, the government troops rescued dozens of people in the mountain stronghold, including some young and beautiful women as well as some elderly women.

After all, these hundred-plus bandits needed to eat, drink, and relieve themselves, so the old women locked up in the mountain stronghold were mainly responsible for cooking and cleaning.

As for the young and beautiful women, they were plundered by this group of bandits during several robberies.

“Magistrate Fang, these are all pitiful people. I hope you can make proper arrangements for them. If they have homes to return to, please help them go home; if they have difficulties, please also make proper arrangements for them.”

After Xun Yu finished speaking, Magistrate Fang quickly smiled and agreed.

After all, as the magistrate of this area, this matter was originally his responsibility.

The annihilation of this band of bandits today is a great achievement.

He desperately wanted to do this perfectly and spread his fame so that he might get a promotion in a few years.

By this time, it was getting dark, and the group hurried back to the city.

Tang Yu had already sent someone to inform the Tang family of what had happened that day, so after returning to the city, the Tang family also sent someone over.

"Is my mother alright?"
