At dusk, everyone finished their farm work and went back on their own.
Zhao Chen asked the guards to clean up the scene, and asked them to make some scarecrows to insert in various fields.
Seeing the patches of rice fluttering in the wind in front of him, Zhao Chen felt a sense of accomplishment, just like when he saved the first wheat plant and the first pothos plant in school.
He was about to return to the county office to see how the government affairs were being handled. Suddenly, a cry for help came from not far away.
Zhao Chen looked for the direction and took a closer look. Two fields away, there were several men with swords in their hands who were violently attacking a mother and daughter.
Zhao Chen didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he hurriedly took the only remaining guard and rushed over.
The violent thief in the distance stared at the two women in front of him with a smile, his lips dripping to the ground.
"Beauty, come back with me and become the wife of the village. You will have food, drink and a man. How can you not be better than farming here?"
The fierce-looking people behind the man had already scared away the people around him, and they were the only ones left in the entire field.
The woman cried and begged for mercy: "Heroes, please spare us, my little girl has just turned fifteen."
"Fifteen years old, that's not the right age to get married, so there's no need to wait. Don't worry, I will definitely love you very much."
After saying that, he reached out to grab the woman.
The woman reached out and hugged the thief's leg. The woman beside her was so frightened that she cried.
The more the thief saw the woman struggling, the more energetic he became.
"I see that even though you are old, you are still pretty. How about you go back to the stronghold together and serve me?"
The woman could not say anything except shaking her head.
Seeing that the thief was about to succeed, he suddenly stretched out a foot and kicked the thief directly on the waist.
The thief was kicked so hard that he rolled over and fell into the field, landing on his face.
It turned out that it was Zhao Chen who came over and gave the man a kick before the thief was about to succeed.
Upon seeing this, the other thieves immediately surrounded him and faced each other with swords.
Zhao Chen was unmoved at all and reached out to help up the little girl who fell on the ground and the woman who was kneeling on the ground.
The little woman looked at the barefoot and empty-handed young man in front of her in surprise, stopped crying, and straightened her messy hair.
Only then did Zhao Chen realize that the woman was so beautiful that it would be an exaggeration to say that she was as beautiful as a fish and a wild goose. No wonder those thieves would take advantage of her.
The woman stared at Zhao Chen with two innocent big eyes, her face slightly tilted.
The woman hurriedly thanked Zhao Chen for his rescue.
Zhao Chen wiped the mud from his hands and responded with a smile.
The thief on the opposite side couldn't hold back his anger and shouted: "Where did you come from, bastard, dare to attack our boss!"
Zhao Chen turned around and his expression suddenly darkened.
The guard on the side immediately drew his sword, pointed at the thief and scolded: "Who are you, dare to be unreasonable to our military advisor?"
At this time, the bandit leader who had just fallen into the rice field got up. When he heard the guards scolding him, he replied coaxingly: "Have you ever heard of Chengzihu Tianba? It's me, Chu Tianba!"
"Everyone who is the overlord of Chutian or Tianba must stand down in front of our military advisor."
Only then did Zhao Chen realize that these people must be water bandits living in Chengzi Lake and Hongze Lake. In this turbulent era, how many people had to fall into the trap of bandits.
Seeing that there were only two people in Zhao Chen, Chu Tianba instantly felt confident, picked up the knife on the ground, and slashed at Zhao Chen.
The guard hurriedly waved his sword to resist.
Just hearing a bang, Chu Tianba's sword was redirected towards the woman behind Zhao Chen. In desperation, Zhao Chen reached out and pulled the woman into his arms.
Chu Tianba's knife slid across Zhao Chen's left arm, leaving a thin scar.
The woman reacted from Zhao Chen's arms and screamed when she saw the injured Zhao Chen.
The scream just attracted Zhang Fei, who was returning from patrol outside the city.
Seeing that Zhao Chen was injured, the guards hurriedly attacked Chu Tianba with all their strength.
When Zhang Fei arrived, the guards had already cut down two people, and they were fighting one against four.
Zhang Fei glanced at the injured Zhao Chen and immediately became angry.
"What bastard! If you dare to touch my military advisor, you will die!"
Now in Zhang Fei's heart, Zhao Chen is the most important person besides Liu Bei. Anyone who dares to go against Zhao Chen is disrespectful to his elder brother and to him, Lao Zhang.
He raised the Zhangba Snake Spear and cut down all Chu Tianba and others with three strikes, five divided by two.
A small crisis was easily resolved after Zhang Fei joined.
After all, there is a difference between hearsay and seeing with one's own eyes. One may just listen to it as a story, while the other may experience it personally.
Zhao Chen knew that although they had regained Huaiyin, due to long-term insecurity and being on the geographical frontline, bandits were everywhere in Huaiyin and the people were in dire straits, so there were still many things that needed to be done.
He suddenly understood that perhaps his arrival in this era was a mission given by God.
This mission is not only to help Liu Bei conquer the world, but also to enable the people of the world to live a safe and prosperous life.
Seeing that it was safe, Zhao Chen slowly let go of the woman.
Seeing that Zhao Chen had not even put on his shoes, the woman came to save him at the risk of her life. The two of them knelt down, kowtowed and thanked him: "My mother and daughter will always remember the military advisor's life-saving grace."
Zhao Chen frowned, why was it different from what was shown in the TV series? This situation should be "Thank you to the military advisor for saving your life. The little girl has nothing to repay but to give her life." Could it be that he is not handsome enough? Or is it simply a lie in the TV series?
But thinking about it, Zhao Chen wouldn't do anything outrageous.
He helped the two women up and said: "It is Liu Beijun's mission to protect the people. If you encounter any problems next time, you can come to the county government to see me."
Zhang Fei had to admire Zhao Chen for advertising to his elder brother at this moment.
Hehe, in fact, Zhao Chen also has his own little thoughts, leaving a way so that we can meet again.
The little woman glanced at Zhao Chen's arm, lifted up her own lining, tore off a strip, and carefully bandaged it for Zhao Chen.
The woman's watery skin was close to Zhao Chen's mouth and nose, and her faint fragrance made Zhao Chen's heart flutter.
The woman was grateful and prepared to leave. Zhao Chen stared at the little woman's back in a daze. Not knowing where he got the courage, he suddenly asked: "What do you call the girl?"
After saying that, I regretted it. In this day and age, there is no way to directly ask a woman’s name. This is not the way to strike up a conversation. It feels very superficial and unreasonable.
There is no way, the words have been spoken, and I can't take them back, so I can only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm.
Unexpectedly, the woman looked back, smiled, saluted, and said softly: "Military advisor, little girl's infantry trainer."
"Hello, Master Bu, my name is Zhao Chen."
Zhao Chen answered the conversation smoothly, very naturally, just like on a blind date.
Trainer Bu chuckled and said, "Trainer remembers the name of the benefactor."
Then he turned around and left shyly.
Only then did Zhao Chen react.
Nima, it turned out to be Bu Lianshi, Sun Quan's wife, Sun Luban's mother, and the most beautiful woman during the Three Kingdoms period. No wonder she was so charming.
He remembered that Bu Lianshi was from Huaiyin. She followed her mother to Lujiang due to the war, and was later chosen as a concubine by Sun Quan.
Zhao Chen thought to himself, now that Huaiyin has been captured by me, Guangling County will be captured in the next half month. There must be no more chaos, so that their mother and daughter do not have to be displaced again.
Zhang Fei seemed to have noticed Zhao Chen's little thoughts and joked: "If the military advisor takes a fancy to him, I will tie him up for you."
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes: "Then how are we different from thieves?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "That means I really like it!"
I went and actually followed Zhang Fei's advice and dug a hole for me here.
Zhao Chen feigned anger and punched Zhang Fei on the chest.
As a result, the iron in Zhang Fei's armor hurt so much that Zhao Chen clenched his fists and grinned.
Zhang Fei teased from the side: "Military advisor, it's not me who's beating you, it's you who's beating me!"
Zhao Chen rolled his eyes at Zhang Fei and ignored him. He bent down and wiped the soles of his feet, then put on his shoes and walked towards Huaiyin City with his guards.
Zhang Fei laughed and followed Zhao Chen.
