The time is not right?!

This reason is really a bit weird!

However, Zhang Mo did not pretend to be a charlatan. Instead, she lowered her voice and asked Taishi Ci, "Do you know that His Majesty is seriously ill?"

Taishi Ci shook his head in surprise, while Xu Huang looked confused. What did the seriousness of His Majesty's illness have to do with their joining Lu Bu?

Zhang Moshen said mysteriously, "My adoptive father was an official in Luoyang and has many connections in the capital. According to reliable information, Your Majesty has been seriously ill for several days and I'm afraid he won't live long."

"Really?" Taishi Ci was surprised. Unlike Xu Huang, he really cared about the health of His Majesty.

"How dare I talk nonsense about this matter? The medical officer diagnosed that he only has one year to live at the latest." Zhang Mo spoke nonsense seriously.

Emperor Ling is indeed going to die next year, and she is not afraid of her lies being exposed.

Seeing her grave expression, Taishi Ci had already believed this shocking news. However, he was not stupid and asked again, "How does this matter relate to our surrender to General Lu?"

Zhang Mo analyzed, "Your Majesty favors the youngest son, Liu Xie, and wants to make him his heir. The Second Prince has the support of Empress Dowager Dong and the Ten Attendants, while the Empress's son, Liu Bian, has the backing of General He Jin. Once Your Majesty passes away, these two factions will undoubtedly clash."

"And who does Lü Bu belong to? He's the son-in-law of Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou. Dong Zhuo is a former official of the Yuan family, a family of three generations of officials. He also commands two powerful armies, the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army. If my guess is correct, upon your Majesty's death, he will be summoned to the capital to eradicate the eunuchs. The capital is dominated by scholars and eunuchs, and various forces are mixed. You two both have the talent of a great general. Are you going to follow Dong Zhuo into this conspiracy?"

Taishi Ci couldn't help but frown. The first half of her analysis was well-reasoned, but the latter part felt forced. Even if Dong Zhuo was recruited to the capital, they were merely his subordinates. What did the court struggles have to do with them? Furthermore, since she knew so much, wasn't she afraid that Lü Bu would be dragged into the Luoyang vortex? She said all this, clearly not wanting him to leave Juyi Village.

Xu Huang, however, didn't think as much as Taishi Ci did. He just asked in surprise, "General Lu has already married Dong Zhuo's daughter? Then why are you still with him..."

Although Xu Huang and Zhang Mo had only been together for a short time, he could tell that she was definitely not the kind of woman who would be willing to be someone's concubine. To be honest, this woman's talent was indeed rare in the world. If she were not a woman, he really would not want to leave Juyi Village and join someone else. He was actually quite embarrassed to follow Taishi Ci here today, but he thought that she would be Lu Bu's person sooner or later, so he thought of following Lu Bu.

After Xu Huang asked this question, Taishi Ci looked at Zhang Mo in surprise, but seeing helplessness and sorrow in her eyes, he suddenly felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Xu Huang to ask this question.

This was a private matter between her and Lu Bu. Zhang Mo didn't want to answer it, and she didn't know how things would develop in the future. She didn't know whether Lu Bu could really get rid of Dong Qing or whether he could really stick to his promise.

She is with Lu Bu now more to stabilize him. She has no confidence at all whether the two of them can finally achieve a happy ending.

Zhang Mo could only explain simply, "Although he and I share a common sentiment, we are not inseparable. He is him, and I am me."

Zhang Mo didn't want to discuss her relationship with Lu Bu with the two of them, so she got back to the point and said, "If you trust me, just wait a year. After a year, everything will be settled. By then, I will definitely find a good place for you and your family. I will never let you wait in vain."

Since they didn't want to work under a woman like her, there was no point in forcing them to stay. But she definitely couldn't let them go to Lu Bu before killing Dong Zhuo at Beimang Mountain.

Zhang Mo looked at the two of them eagerly, "Can you trust me?"

Her eyes were full of sincerity. Taishi Ci looked away and nodded. Whether he believed it or not, since she said so, and it was she who took her mother in when her family was in trouble and gave her mother a place to stay, why not wait another year?

Taishi Ci, a free man, agreed to wait another year, so there was no reason for Xu Huang to disagree. Besides, Amo was really good to him. Since she was unwilling to leave on her own, then let her be a thief!

Seeing the two of them nod in agreement, Zhang Mo's tense expression relaxed.

Taishi Ci looked at the completely dark sky outside and stood up, saying, "It's getting late, you should rest early. We will take our leave now!"

"Well, there might be more fighting in the next few days, go back and rest early!"

Zhang Mo stood up to see them off, and only turned back after watching the two of them walk away. Unexpectedly, as soon as she lifted the curtain and walked in, she fell into a broad embrace. Zhang Mo was about to scream when her mouth was covered by a big hand.

"It's me!" Lu Bu said.

Zhang Mo pried his hand away and said unhappily, "Why are you back again?"

"What did they talk to you about for so long?" Lu Bu pulled her to the table and sat down.

"Nothing much, just chatting about the war."

"Really?" Lu Bu obviously didn't believe it.

Zhang Mo pushed him away and stood up. "Believe it or not, go back quickly. I need to rest."

Lu Bu took her hand and pulled her back into his arms. "Can I stay in your tent tonight? Don't worry, no one saw me when I came in just now."

"No, I won't live with you before we get married. Get out!" Zhang Mo struggled out and shouted angrily.

However, Lu Bu acted like a rogue, picked her up and walked towards the bed behind the screen.

Zhang Mo was shocked and angry, hitting him, "Lu Bu, what are you doing? If you do this again, I will call for help."

Lu Bu placed her on the couch, took off her shoes and socks, then took off his own shoes. He climbed onto the couch and held her in his arms, saying softly, "Don't worry, I just want to hold you while I sleep. I won't do anything inappropriate."

Although he longed for her, he would never take her without any status or position.

Zhang Mo obviously didn't believe it and kicked him again, "Get off! Get off!"

Lu Bu took a long step forward, pressing down her restless legs. He said in a low, hoarse voice, "If you keep moving, I really can't bear it anymore."

"Do you threaten me?"

"No, just telling the truth."

Feeling his scorching body temperature, Zhang Mo blushed with shame and her voice softened, "You're going to feel even worse this way, so why don't you go back?"

"I'm willing to be uncomfortable, I like to hold you..."

Zhang Mo was frozen, motionless. After a long while, she finally found an excuse to slip out of bed. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."

As she spoke, she struggled out and slid down. Lu Bu got up too and sat leisurely beside the couch, watching her take out a cup and a brush from the wooden basin, dip them in fine salt, and squat beside the bucket to brush her teeth slowly and meticulously.

After she finally finished brushing her teeth, Lu Bu walked over, picked up her cup and toothbrush, and started brushing his teeth too.

"That's my toothbrush..." Zhang Mo, who was wiping her face, saw it and immediately looked disgusted.

Lu Bu said unconcernedly, "I have tasted the fragrance of your mouth that day, and I do not despise it."

Zhang Mo was furious, "I hate it!"

Lu Bu finished with a few strokes and looked at her with an evil look on his face. "You'll get used to it after a few times..."

Then he picked her up and walked towards the bed.

On the bed, Lu Bu looked down at her shy and angry face, unable to control his love. He leaned over and gave her a gentle and lingering kiss on the forehead, then turned over and climbed onto the bed, holding her in his arms.

"Amo, do you know how much I love you? I count the days every day, and I feel happier with every passing day. I carry your hairpin with me day and night, as if you are always by my side. I dream of hugging you..."

I don't know if it was influenced by the so-called system, but I felt that she was particularly attractive from the first time I saw her. After getting to know her, my love for her became stronger.

Listening to Lu Bu's emotional confession, Zhang Mo's stiff body slowly relaxed.

Perhaps, love can still be cherished in troubled times. As long as the two are determined and strong enough, nothing is impossible. The reason why Guo Shengtong intervened in the relationship between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua was because the Yin family was not strong enough. If she was strong enough to kill Buddhas and demons, why would Liu Xiu need to use another woman to seek hegemony?

After struggling for so long in this chaotic world, Zhang Mo has already put her own life at risk. Otherwise, she would not be so bold as to run to Xianbei to look for people and resist thousands of Xianbei cavalry at the pass.

Her ambition grew slowly as Juyi Village grew stronger. She was no longer naive enough to think that she could live a carefree life as a landlord with the protection of the Wang family. She wanted more and more, even if it cost her life in the end.

Lu Bu lowered his head and couldn't help kissing her again, from her eyebrows to her nose and then to her red lips. Zhang Mo responded shyly. They didn't know how long they kissed. Feeling his increasingly heavy breathing, Zhang Mo suddenly woke up and hurriedly pushed him away.

"You, you should go back..."

Lu Bu panted as he took off her clothes. "I wouldn't do anything inappropriate. Hey... what are you wearing inside..."

Zhang Mo gathered her inner garment and outer garment together and explained, "It's a leather vest..."

Lu Bu pulled her clothes apart again and looked at her in the dim firelight coming in from outside. She was wearing a piece of leather armor with an arc like a man's chest, which completely covered the delicate curves of her chest and made her thin shoulders and slender waist look wider and thicker. He reached out and touched it. It was as hard as armor, and the inner layer should be inlaid with iron wire or iron sheets.

"No wonder. I was wondering why her body seemed to be getting stronger, but this part was getting smaller. She looked like a man. It turns out she was wearing this."

"This way I won't be able to tell I'm a woman dressed as a man. When I get older, I want to grow a beard!"

Lu Bu took off her clothes and then took off her vest. "It's so uncomfortable to sleep in this. Take it off and let me see if it has grown."

"You are obscene..."

"I am a gentleman!"
