Chapter 19: Rui'er is very fierce

  The next day early in the morning, Chen Chu took Zhang Liao's siblings to meet Li's merchant caravan.

  The current head of the Li family is named Li Tai, who is less than thirty years old but is shrewd and capable. The Li family was not originally a major merchant clan, but it was precisely because of Li Tai's tireless efforts over the past few years that the Li family has become a major merchant clan that can rival the old established merchants.

  Li Tai was very polite to Chen Chu and the other two, and even specially prepared a horse-drawn carriage for them. Li Tai did this partly because of Wei Du's face, and partly in order to get along with Chen Chu. Chen Chu is now the magistrate of Le Ping County, although his official position is not high, he can control everything in Le Ping County. The Li family has frequent business dealings with the north, and Le Ping is an important transit hub, so it is natural for the Li family to have a good relationship with Chen Chu, the new county magistrate.

  "Big brother, you're really something!", In the carriage, Zhang Rui blinked her shining starry eyes and gazed at Chen Chu.

  Chen Chu smiled and said: "Why did Rui'er say that?"

  "That Li Dabao outside is someone I know, normally he's so arrogant! But in front of Big Brother, he's being extremely humble!"

  Chen Chu couldn't help but furrow his brow and asked, "Rui'er, did that Li boss bully you guys?" Chen Chu was thinking to himself at this time, if that Li boss had made things difficult for Zhang Liao's siblings, he absolutely wouldn't let it go, and must make Li Tai apologize to Zhang Liao's siblings.

  Zhang Rui proudly raised her chin, "Hmph, just because of him, he can't bully us! That day, his several family members came to Wuyi Alley to show off their might, but were beaten away by my brother with three punches and two kicks! After that, they didn't dare come to Wuyi Alley again!", paused for a moment, Zhang Rui looked at Chen Chu and continued: "Actually, I'm also very capable! If I wasn't sick, I could have also chased them away!", her tone and expression were like those of a child showing off.

  Zhang Liao felt a little embarrassed on the side, after all, in his concept, a girl fighting fiercely is not something worth boasting about.

  "Alright, Rui'er, girls' households are used to being noisy and aren't afraid of being laughed at by big brothers!"

  Zhang Ru pouted in discontent but did not dare to retort back at Zhang Liao.

  "Hehe, don't blame Wenru. Women liking martial arts isn't necessarily a bad thing! At least it's much better than those women who sing and dance to please men!"

  Zhang Rui suddenly became spirited and said with joy: "It's still big brother who is good to Rui'er!", saying that she also pretended to look at Zhang Liao with a wronged expression.

  At this time Zhang Liao was really crying and laughing, shaking his head and sighing endlessly.

  "Big brother, you're going to spoil Rui'er rotten!"

  "Hehe, never mind, as long as Nui can be happy and carefree, that's all that matters. Don't you think so, Wen Yuan?"

  Zhang Liao was stunned for a long time before saying: "Brother is right after all!"

  "Right, Rui'er, from what you said, it seems like your martial arts skills are quite formidable?" Chen Chu asked with great curiosity.

  "Of course! Jun Er is quite formidable!", As soon as this was mentioned, Zhang Rui became like a proud swan.

  "How formidable is Nai'er exactly?" Chen Chu asked with a smile.

  This question really stumped Zhang Rui, although she had often taught local rascals a lesson back in her hometown, but she thought this achievement was not impressive and would make her big brother look down on her if she said it out loud.

  Just as she was thinking, Zhang Rui happened to see Zhang Liao smiling ambiguously beside her. Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through her mind, and she pointed at Zhang Liao, saying: "My brother is very powerful, right? I'm just slightly inferior to my brother!"

  Chen Chu was shocked, Zhang Liao was one of the most powerful generals in the Three Kingdoms period! Zhang Rui was only slightly inferior to him, it's really hard to imagine!

  Chen Chu thought again: Could it be that Rui'er is bragging?

  He then turned his head and looked at Zhang Liao with an inquiring gaze. Zhang Liao nodded solemnly.

  Chen Chu took a deep breath, he was simply overjoyed. "Unexpectedly, on this trip to Luoyang, I unexpectedly got two great generals. However, I will not let Zhang Wei lead the army into danger, there is a more important position waiting for her, that is the position of guarding the commander." Chen Chu thought somewhat lecherously.

  ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

  Along the way, the three of them chatted and laughed, not feeling bored at all. The lively Zhang Rui even made the three of them immerse themselves in laughter. However, the scenery along the way made Chen Chu's mood very heavy. There were more refugees on the official road than a month ago. Thinking that there was less than a year left before facing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chen Chu couldn't help but feel anxious. Fortunately, this trip to Luoyang had recruited Zhang Liao, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. Otherwise, Chen Chu really didn't know how to face the chaos in a year's time!

  Get your own team together as soon as possible! Chen Chu thought so.

  After a month of bumps and jolts, I finally returned to Le Ping City, which had been away for a month and a half.

  I don't know how things are going with Deng Gong now. Chen Chu felt a bit worried and also somewhat anticipated.
