Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Red Hare carried Lu Bu and Zhang Mo slowly towards the village. Lu Bu, who had been free from years of abstinence, was now refreshed and in high spirits. He greeted everyone he saw warmly and friendly, and even when passing by the courtyard where Zhang Ji lived, he respectfully called him "Dr. Zhang".

Zhang Ji paused pounding the medicine and looked at him as if he were a monster. "Did you take the wrong medicine today? I haven't prescribed the medicine yet?"

Lu Bu bowed and said, "Thank you very much, doctor, for your treatment these days. My injury has healed so quickly. Thank you very much! I am now completely cured. I don't need you to worry about me anymore."

Zhang Ji snorted coldly, "I'm doing this for Ah Mo's sake. Otherwise, who would care about your life or death? If you don't want to get acupuncture, I'll have nothing to do!"

Zhang Mo hurriedly said, "Sir, don't be angry. He's talking nonsense. The needle still needs to be inserted."

Zhang Mo tugged at Lu Bu's clothes and said with some dissatisfaction, "Can't you just speak properly? It's no good for you to offend the doctor."

"Didn't I just speak nicely? It's this old man who's looking at me with displeasure."

Zhang Mo slid down from the horse and said, "I haven't had my acupuncture treatment yet. I'm going to get one now as I'm passing by."

Lu Bu quickly followed her down and supported her, looking nervous, "Can you walk? I'll carry you." As he said that, he was about to take action.

Thinking of the scenes on the bluestone and in the hot spring water, Zhang Mo's cheeks instantly turned red like the sunset. For the first time in her two lives, she turned from a girl into a woman. She realized that the legendary pain was really that painful. At this time, she actually wanted to act coquettishly with him, but the occasion was not right. She gave him a coquettish look, pulled out her arm and walked into the yard.

Her fair skin was faintly rosy, and her eyes were as clear as autumn water, as bright as the moon, three parts spring and seven parts shy, which could captivate people's souls. Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and hurriedly followed her and took her hand again.

Seeing a small stool in the yard, Lu Bu walked over, swept the dust off it with his sleeve, and helped his wife sit down carefully.

Zhang Ji looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, "Is Amo pregnant?"

He stretched out his hand and said, "How many months has it been? Come, come, let me feel your pulse."

Zhang Mo's face became increasingly red, and she stammered like a thief, "No, no, I just accidentally sprained my ankle..."

"Oh? Is it serious? Take off your shoes and socks and let me see." Zhang Ji looked at her feet.

Zhang Mo subconsciously retracted her foot, "No, no need, it's nothing..."

Her shy and embarrassed look was so adorable that Lu Bu couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing. Zhang Mo glared at him unhappily, but he reacted and hurried forward to block her. "Amo, it's okay. Let the doctor see me first!"

"As long as it's okay!"

Zhang Ji gave Lü Bu a strange look, then reluctantly felt his pulse and said, "You have a strong physique and will recover faster than most people. Just a few more days of acupuncture will be enough."

At this time, a medicine boy came over with a silver needle. Lu Bu was about to take off his clothes when he heard a burst of hurried horse hooves coming from the village entrance.

Zhang Ji looked outside and asked, "Your people are here, right?"

Lu Bu stood up and walked out of the yard. Seeing that the people coming included Xu Huang, Du Fei and Xu Chu, a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

When Xu Chu was in Luoyang, he was in charge of guarding the Middle East Gate. He was not allowed to leave the imperial capital without permission. Why did he come here specifically?

Xu Chu saw Lu Bu and shouted, "Fengxian, something happened in Chang'an!"

Zhang Mo followed out, looking nervous and asking, "What happened? Is father okay?"

Xu Chu halted his horse and angrily said, "The master is fine. It's Li Su who's colluded with Yang Zan to frame Fengxian. I wonder where they got the rumor, saying that the bandits who assassinated Dong Zhuo at Beimang Mountain were ordered by Fengxian. They also said that you've always harbored evil intentions and that your delay in returning this time is because you want to gather troops and go back to annihilate your relatives for the greater good. Dong Zhuo is furious and has already transferred Li Jue back to Chang'an to guard it."

"Zi Zheng?" Lu Bu looked incredulous. "You said he was the one who exposed the matter to the lord?"

Xu Chu said, "That's right. He's also hooking up with Dong Qing. The head of the family told me that Dong Qing is pregnant with Li Su's child, and Dong Zhuo had already arranged for her to marry into the Dong family a few days ago. This guy is a complete villain. He did such shameless things for power. Now Chang'an is completely controlled by him and Li Jue."

Lu Bu had known about the matter between Dong Qing and Li Su for a long time. He had originally planned to go back and help them, but he just couldn't believe that Li Su would betray him and want to kill him?

If he had not been injured and delayed his return, he would have been caught off guard and would have died the day he entered Chang'an.

Lu Bu's voice turned cold, "How did Li Su know that Juyi Village was related to me?"

"I don't know about that either. Anyway, the Patriarch asked me to remind you that Chang'an is now a dangerous place. If you want to go back, you must bring your own troops with you, otherwise you will never come back."

Lü Bu's mind was a little confused at this point. Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him, but Wang Yun wanted to save him. But wasn't Yang Zan Wang Yun's man? He remembered that after Lu Zhi was dismissed from office, it was Wang Yun who recommended Yang Zan for the position of Shangshu. So was Wang Yun trying to kill him or save him?

Zhang Mo, unaware of Lü Bu's thoughts, asked nervously, "Since Dong Zhuo has completely labeled Lü Bu a traitor, what about my father? Has he been implicated?"

Xu Chu said, "I don't know. The master was fine when I came. He just asked me to bring this news."

Zhang Mo panicked and looked at Lu Bu, "You and I are engaged. Given Dong Zhuo's character, he will definitely implicate my father. What should I do?"

Lu Bu patted her back soothingly. "Don't worry. If Dong Zhuo wanted to kill him, he would have been dead before Zhong Kang arrived. This isn't right..."

Lu Bu thought for a moment and asked, "Does Wang Situ know that you have built a stronghold in the mountains?"

Zhang Mo nodded, "Father has known about it for a long time, but he just never said it."

Lü Bu understood, "Then you don't need to worry about him. Not only will he not be implicated, but Dong Zhuo will even reward him."

"How could it be? How could Dong Zhuo..." At this point, Zhang Mo suddenly thought of something, "You mean, it was my father who exposed you to Dong Zhuo?"

"Besides him, who else knows about my relationship with Juyi Village? Could it be Zhongkang?"

Xu Chu said dissatisfiedly, "Am I that kind of person?"

"If my guess is correct, Yang Zan was instructed by him. He wants to alienate Dong Zhuo and me, so that I can lead the troops back and fight Dong Zhuo until both of us suffer losses."

Zhang Mo recalled what Wang Yun had said to her before leaving Luoyang, and suddenly understood, "No, Father is helping you break away from Dong Zhuo. All you have to do this time is lead your troops back under the pretext of attacking Dong Zhuo and fight a small battle. Not only will you completely break free from your relationship with Dong Zhuo, but you'll also be a hero in protecting the Han Dynasty."

Lu Bu remained silent. He wanted to break away from his relationship with Dong Zhuo, but he had never thought of harming him or even going to war with him. Now that Dong Qing had married Li Su, and he was labeled a traitor by Dong Zhuo, he had already jumped off Dong Zhuo's ship. There was really no need to lead troops back to scare a dying man just for the false reputation of a meritorious official.

As for Wang Yun, whether he was trying to help him or wanted him and Dong Zhuo to suffer losses together, it actually didn't matter, because the initiative of whether to be an enemy of Dong Zhuo was in his own hands.

Lü Bu said, "I will not return to Chang'an. I will go to Xin'an and Shan County to ask Wenyuan and the others to return to Bingzhou."

"Go back to Bingzhou directly?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Yes, go back to Bingzhou directly."

He carried her onto the horse and said to Du Fei, "Send a message to Amina, asking Wenyuan to prepare the troops and food supplies first."

Xu Huang asked, "You're not going to kill that traitor Li Su? Are you letting him off so easily?"

Lu Bu said calmly, "Dong Zhuo couldn't even defeat those court officials, so how could Li Su do that? Let him have his way, let's play it big and see if his results are better than Dong Zhuo's."

"By the way, where were Hua Xiong and others before you came?" Lu Bu asked Xu Huang.

Dong Zhuo is still alive. Hua Xiong, Zhang Ji and others originally stood on Lu Bu's side because Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law and would inherit Dong Zhuo's position in the future. Now that Lu Bu has become a "traitor" and is going to split up and work on his own, they may not necessarily follow Lu Bu.

As for Xu Rong, his family was all in Xuantu County. He had no ties or backing in Chang'an. Unless he joined a noble family or was willing to obey Li Su's orders in the future, he would not be able to survive in Chang'an. It would be better for him to follow Lu Bu.

Xu Huang said, "Hua Xiong and his men are still in Xin'an. Dong Zhuo summoned Li Jue but didn't call them back. It's obvious that he suspects they are already your men. They probably don't know whether to join you in rebelling against Dong Zhuo, or help Dong Zhuo get rid of you, the 'traitor'."

"Tell Wenyuan to be on guard against these people." Lu Bu said to Du Fei. Du Fei nodded, immediately wrote down his instructions, and sent them to Xin'an by flying eagle.
