Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Seeing Zhang Mo and others, Zhang Fengru rushed over hurriedly as if he had seen a savior.

"What happened?" Zhang Mo asked.

"They said so many things need to be taxed, otherwise they won't let us through."

Zhang Mo knew about tariffs. Merchants would give some benefits to the gatekeeper wherever they went. She had also told Zhang Feng before that as long as it was within a reasonable range, she would agree to it. But this group of people today were probably asking for too much.

"How much do they want?"

Zhang Feng said with a bitter face, "Two thousand cattle and sheep, five hundred war horses."

"Damn it, does he have the nerve to do that?"

Xu Chu was instantly furious. "These were captured by our brothers with great effort. To repel the barbarians, we fought them at the Great Wall pass until the sky was dark and the sky was dark, and blood flowed like a river. And those soldiers just stood by and watched. Why the hell did they give them to them?"

Not only Xu Chu, but all the Golden Eagle Guards were also furious. One of them sneered, "The government is indeed still a vicious wolf that eats people without leaving any bones."

Another man said viciously, "We are no longer slaves to be slaughtered. Killing these wolves is like stepping on a group of ants. Boss, let's kill these people while we can."

The Golden Eagle Guards clenched their weapons and looked at Zhang Mo. As long as she nodded, they would immediately rush forward and chop the hundred or so soldiers into pieces.

Zhang Mo's eyes were slightly cold. This year she had killed government soldiers, her own people, and so many Hu people. She no longer had any psychological burden towards those who should be killed.

Killing these officers and soldiers is easy, but dealing with the aftermath is the real trouble.

Their large group attracted too much attention. They had asked for help from the officers and soldiers in Pingcheng, which had exposed their identities as officials and businessmen from Jinyang. If they slaughtered this group of officers and soldiers today, the government would be able to easily trace them back to the Wang family.

Zhang Mo suppressed her anger and tried to appease everyone, "Please be patient, I'll go over and ask first."

She rode her horse forward, followed by Xu Chu, Guan Hai and others, and they arrived at the road crossing.

A mustachioed officer sized Zhang Mo up and down. Seeing her young age, he assumed she must be timid and indecisive. He grew even more arrogant, squinting at her and asking, "Are you the one in charge?"

Zhang Mo cupped her hands, "Exactly!"

The man with the mustache leaned against a wooden stake, his arms folded across his chest, shaking one leg. "Your business is pretty big, so you should know the rules!"

"Of course I understand. You all have worked hard, and it is only right that we show you some respect."

Zhang Mo looked embarrased. "It's just that... General, this is too much. We've already given gifts to many people along the way. If we follow your demands, we'll be left with nothing when we return to Taiyuan. We're brothers, and we need to support our families, too. Can you be a little flexible?"

"Since this is business, we can naturally negotiate the price. How about this, seeing that you are a shrewd boy, I will charge you half of the cattle and sheep."

The man with the mustache was thinking that his superiors were vigorously organizing cavalry recently and were in dire need of horses. If he could offer 500 horses, he would definitely be promoted three levels.

Zhang Mo secretly resents herself, thinking that officials are indeed more difficult to deal with than thieves. If these were a group of bandits, she would have sent them to the West to see the Buddha long ago.

These things were obtained at the cost of the lives of the soldiers of Juyi Village. If she agreed to this official's request, everyone would definitely be disappointed in her.

"General, this is too much. I have more than a thousand men to support, and many of these war horses are needed by the Taiyuan County Government. I can't afford to lose even one."

After hearing Zhang Mo mention the government office, the man with the mustache thought for a moment, then took a step back and said, "Then it's four hundred horses. It shouldn't be difficult to find one from your own horses!"

"Fuck you!"

Xu Chu couldn't stand this rage any longer, his eyes widened in anger, "Believe it or not, I'll chop you down."

Xu Chu was a strong and fierce-looking man, and his shout frightened the officer so much that his shaking right leg froze instantly.

But as an officer, and a military officer at that, how could he be scared by a guard?

The man with a mustache calmed down and snorted, "You still want to rebel?" His confidence was obviously not as strong as before.

"If you want to rebel, then you want to rebel. What can a mere official from Yanmen County like you do to me?" Xu Chu said arrogantly.

"You, you dare?"

"Do you think I dare?" Xu Chu raised his knife and was about to go up and kill someone, while Guan Hai and the others also drew their swords.

"you you you……"

The man with the mustache felt less and less confident. He stretched out his arms, stood up straight, took a step back towards the wooden stake, and looked at the team behind Zhang Mo. In addition to the fierce man on the left, the man with scars on his face on the right was obviously not a good guy either.

Although this group of people had official letters, they looked like bandits from their ferocious appearance, and all of their clothes were stained with blood. He suspected that these things might not have been obtained through normal transactions.

Seeing that the man with the mustache was scared, Zhang Mo curled her lips into a smile and had an idea in mind.

She raised her hand to stop Xu Chu and bowed to the mustache again, "I dare not rebel..."

She dragged out the last syllable of her words, then suddenly changed the subject, "But if you still don't know what's good for you, we'll have no choice but to force our way through. Even with your limited numbers, I'm afraid you can't stop us. We are all civilized people, and we always emphasize courtesy before force. Please don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit."

His attitude was very civilized, but his words were not civilized at all. This was what the man with the mustache thought.

"You dare to attack the police?" he shouted weakly.

Assaulting a police officer?! She had over a thousand soldiers under her command today, and with the Wang family as her backing, as long as no one was killed, assaulting a police officer wouldn't be a big deal.

However, she didn't want to do that today.

Zhang Mo smiled and said, "I dare not..."

Hearing her say this, the moustache instantly gained confidence. As long as the leader didn't dare, no matter how vicious the villain was, he couldn't do anything to him. He straightened his chest and was about to scold Zhang Mo, but she added, "It's just that I never like to give people excuses when doing things. If the general continues to be unreasonable like this, I can only kill him directly."

She looked around at the hundred or so soldiers behind her mustache and said coldly, "General, the number of men you have isn't even enough for our brothers to warm up!"

"Ho! Ho! Ho!"

At Xu Chu's signal, the Golden Eagle Guards raised their weapons and shouted loudly. A murderous aura instantly enveloped the place, and the man with the mustache was so frightened that he could not speak clearly.

"You, you, you dare?" The man with a mustache stiffened his neck and spoke stubbornly.

Zhang Mo drew out the sword in her hand and slashed it towards the mustache on his head. She said coldly, "You can try."

The man with the mustache rolled his eyes up, then down, and saw the red tassel dropped on the ground. His legs went weak and he almost fell.

He held onto the wooden stake, tremblingly looking at the steel knife in Zhang Mo's hand that was so bright that it could reflect a person's face. He had no doubt that if he continued to be stubborn, his head would definitely be chopped off the next moment. At this moment, he had confirmed that this group of people were not businessmen at all, but bandits!

"Father, please forgive me, I dare not do it again. It's not that I'm greedy, but I have been told by my superiors. I can only..."

He forced a smile and said, "Since you are working for the government, I dare not ask for your things even if it means offending my superiors. I will escort you out of the customs."

Then he said to the soldiers guarding the barricades, "Hurry up and open the roadblock!"

At this moment, he just wanted to get rid of these killing gods as soon as possible.

It turns out that the soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, and the hard ones are afraid of the desperate ones! She humbled herself and said all the nice things, but this guy still didn't buy it. She drew her knife and threatened him, and he immediately became as timid as a quail.

In this world, fists are the way to go! Whoever has the strongest fist is the boss.

Zhang Mo sighed, jumped on his horse, and was about to leave when he suddenly turned back and said with a smile, "General, you are a sensible man. I am in a good mood today, so I will give you a few cattle and sheep as a reward for you soldiers!"

The man with the mustache was so angry that he almost bit his yellow teeth to pieces, but he didn't dare to show any displeasure on his face. He nodded and bowed, "Thank you for the reward, sir!"

Seeing his cowardly look, Zhang Mo laughed heartily and left with everyone.

It feels so damn good to bully others by taking advantage of your power!
