Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

In the main hall, Taishi Ci looked at Zhang Mo awkwardly. He didn't know whether to leave or stay. His mother had just left and he followed her. It seemed that he was trying to cover up his mistake. However, he really felt that it was inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to be in the same room.

These days, he often strolls in the valley in his spare time. Men, women, young and old, all speak of Amo with respect and love. The fact that everyone likes her shows how precious her character is.

He also heard about what happened at the valley entrance last year. In order to save more than 10,000 old and weak people, he personally led the troops out of the camp to kill the enemy and almost died under Qu Yi's arrow. He also killed the Huns and Xianbei and rescued many Han people. These events were enough to show that Amo's benevolence, righteousness and courage were far superior to most officials and generals of the time.

The English longbow and even horseshoes she tinkered with were things he had never heard of or seen before.

She even knows something about battle formations, and recently she started to have her auxiliary soldiers try to practice the Mandarin Duck Formation.

The formation consists of eleven people, with the captain holding the flag in the front, and behind him are symmetrically arranged a long shield, a rattan shield, two wolf-whips, two long spears, two halberds and two crossbows.

The soldiers of the Mandarin Duck Formation do not need to be very strong like the saber-wielders and longbowmen to be selected. The auxiliary soldiers in the village can practice. The various weapons have clear division of labor. As long as everyone is proficient in the operation of their own weapons and cooperates skillfully, they can easily win against enemies that are three or four times their number.

He felt that if the number of Golden Eagle Guard Cavalry, Longbowmen, and Mandarin Duck Formation could be expanded to about 50,000, they would be almost invincible in the world.

There are few wise leaders in the world who are as loyal, righteous, propriety, wise and trustworthy as this. If he were a man, he would be loyal to him till his death. Unfortunately, she is a woman, and she is listed as a bandit under the name of the Black Mountain bandits. It is really difficult for her to be a bandit.

Taishi Ci sighed lightly and glanced at Amo again. He actually knew what his mother was thinking, but he knew himself well that such an outstanding woman was definitely not something he could even dream of.

Just as she was trying to find an excuse to leave, Zhang Mo stood up first and said, "Brother Ziyi, please sit for a while. I'll go help mother pick some vegetables. I'll also invite Anren and the others to come over for dinner tonight."

Zhang Mo was no fool; she knew what Fang meant. She wanted to keep Taishi Ci, but she couldn't use her feelings to deceive him; that was her bottom line.

"Amo..."

Just as Zhang Mo reached the door, Taishi Ci called her from behind.

He took two steps closer, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I'm deeply grateful for Amo's kindness to my mother, but... I originally came here to avoid disaster, and when times change, I'll have to leave. You can treat my mother like any other woman in the village. There's no need to take special care of her. Once the new house is built, let her move out of Moranju."

He knew that Amo wanted to recruit him. Since it was impossible for her to stay as a thief, he should make things clear first to avoid making her sad when she left in the future.

"I know that Brother Ziyi can help me train my archers. I am already deeply grateful and dare not ask for anything else. If you find a better place to go in the future, go ahead. For now, we will just consider it an employment relationship. You train my longbowmen and I will pay you."

She paused for a moment and continued, "As for my kindness to mother, it was certainly a way to win you over at first, but after a few days of getting along, she treated me like her own daughter, and I really liked her from the bottom of my heart. Don't worry about you laughing at me, but what I really want most is to be an ordinary little girl, clinging to my mother's arms and acting like a spoiled child..."

Who would want to live on the edge of a knife when they could be carefree and happy? Last year, when Qu Yi's army was at the gates of the city, and a month ago, when they were defending the pass against the Hu people, she was really scared to death.

Taishi Ci looked at her in confusion. "You don't have to be like this. I heard from Anren that the Wang family treats you like their own child, so why are they recruiting bandits here? Wouldn't it be better to go home and be a daughter of an aristocratic family?"

She was silent. Not only Taishi Ci, but even Anren and Xu Chu didn't quite understand why she had to work so hard.

She is actually very lazy and has no ambition, otherwise she would not have chosen the least popular archaeology major in her previous life. She just wants to be a tour guide in a museum after graduation.

During the winter and summer vacations in college, everyone was desperately trying to find part-time jobs to gain experience, but she went to the school library to work part-time as a librarian. She sorted through the books every day, checking in on borrowers and returners, and spent the rest of the time reading.

In this life, if she had been a happy little girl and had allowed history to develop along its predetermined trajectory, the Wang family would have been wiped out.

Wang Yun treated her like his own daughter, and the three brothers of the Wang family also loved her sincerely. Even the two new sisters-in-law were very kind to her. How could she bear to see such a good family die at the hands of the rebels one day?

She couldn't tell anyone the real reason for recruiting soldiers. Thinking of this, Zhang Mo suddenly felt a little sad. Amina was alone in this strange place, and so was she.

In the middle of the night, she thought she was still the carefree Zhang Mo on campus, going to work every day without any worries or sorrows. But when she woke up, she found that everything was just a dream...

After waking up from the dream, she still has to struggle to survive in this chaotic world, trembling with fear and treading on thin ice!

"I have to do this, there's no reason." She forced a smile and turned to walk out the hall.

This helpless and bitter smile stung Taishi Ci's eyes. Although he didn't know why she had to do this, he could feel that she was feeling very heavy at the moment, even... very lost.

Watching her walk away, Taishi Ci felt a little guilty. Had he gone too far? Perhaps Ah Mo simply felt a connection with her mother and wanted the care of an elder, but he had suggested that her mother move out, and his words had upset her.

Meixiang looked at the somewhat annoyed Taishi Ci with gossipy eyes, then looked at Amo who was walking towards the ridge of the field, and finally felt relieved. It seemed that Amo still remembered Lu Engong in her heart.

At this time, Guan Hai came in carrying two jars of wine. Seeing Taishi Ci standing blankly at the door, he waved at him and said with a smile, "What are you daydreaming about?"

Taishi Ci came back to his senses and said awkwardly, "Nothing, just thinking."

Guan Hai handed him a jar of wine and said, "It's cold, drink some to warm yourself up."

Seeing Guan Hai coming, Meixiang's eyes immediately lit up with love. She quickly washed the clothes and happily ran to the kitchen to prepare some snacks.

The two returned to the main hall and sat on the floor. Guan Hai popped the cork off the wine jar, and a rich aroma of wine filled his nose. Taishi Ci couldn't help but sniff, "This wine smells so good!"

Guan Hai raised the jar towards him and said, "Try it!"

Taishi Ci couldn't wait to open the wine jar in his hand, took a sip, and his eyes lit up, "Good, good wine!"

"The new year is coming, and this is one of the year-end benefits given by Amo. I've also collected your share."

Taishi Ci looked at the jar in his hand with a strange expression, "Could it be that she brewed this too?"

"That's right. That year, I was hacked by horse thieves and narrowly escaped death. It was she who purified the alcohol and mixed it with saline solution to clean the wound, which saved my life."

Guan Hai couldn't stop talking once he started. He took a sip of wine and continued, "Also, the money she used to mine coal was raised by selling this wine. A jar of this wine would fetch one gold coin on the market. Back then, she had just started mining coal, and she had taken in many refugees, even women and orphans. Money was tight, but she would rather pawn her jewelry and clothes than sell more wine. She said that brewing too much wine would inevitably cause food prices to rise, and that would turn more people into refugees."

"Is this why you're willing to stay with her?"

Guan Hai smiled and said, "Saving my life is nothing. She wants to save the lives of many more people. Only if I stay by her side and help her will my life be valuable."

"Is Anren here to lobby for her?"

"No, it just allows you to understand her more clearly."

Taishi Ci smiled bitterly: "I have understood her very well. She is indeed a prodigy, but unfortunately she is a woman."

Guan Hai shook his head. "No, you will never fully understand her. Even though I've been with her for over three years, there are still many things I don't understand, such as... you..."

"Me?" Taishi Ci was confused.

"I asked her a few days ago why she knew you, a little-known person from Qingzhou, and even knew my mother. Guess what she said."

Taishi Ci hurriedly asked, "Yes, what did she say?"

After returning to the village, he was attracted by the many strange things here and forgot to ask about this.

"She just said the secret must not be revealed! She refused to say anything else."

Taishi Ci was surprised and puzzled, "Could it be that she also knows the art of witchcraft and divination?"

"That's... unlikely. I've never seen any divination items around her. Perhaps she's incredibly intelligent, bordering on the demonic. When she was little, she met a white-haired old man who claimed she was the reincarnation of a military sage. He taught her the art of war for three years. In Luoyang, she became Lu Zhi's apprentice. After two or three months, she already knew most of the classics and even the geography of mountains and rivers, weather, and hydrology. Who could draw a map of the thirteen provinces? But she could."

"The reincarnation of the Military Saint?" Taishi Ci's eyes were full of doubt, but otherwise, how could a little girl understand so much?

Guan Hai laughed and said, "I didn't believe it at first either."

Taishi Ci took a sip of wine, the helpless and bitter smile just now flashing through his mind. He asked, "Does Anren know why she wants to raise troops here?"

Guan Hai said, "That year, we encountered bandits on the way back to Jinyang. My family and I almost died, and she was almost kidnapped by them. After returning to Jinyang, she started to arrange to raise an army. She said it was for self-protection."

"Self-protection?"

Taishi Ci looked suspicious. Did she need such a powerful army to protect herself? The thousands of Hu people at the border were no match for her. What bandit would dare to come and die? Furthermore, seeing as she was sending people everywhere to recruit refugees, it was clear she wanted to continue expanding her army.

He couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. He would just wait for a year or two when the storm died down, and then he would take his mother back. Now he would just treat her as his employer.
