Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Dong Min never dreamed that Hua Xiong would bring Lü Bu with him. When he saw Lü Bu's stern face, Dong Min was shocked and angry. He drew his sword and slashed at Hua Xiong, "Hua Yingwei, I trusted you so much, and you actually deceived me?"

Hua Xiong blocked his blade with his broadsword and explained, "Shuying, don't be angry. Just listen to me first."

Dong Min's eyes were glaring. "You traitor, what else do you have to say? Even if I die today, I will not let you two take a single grain of food or a single copper coin from here."

Lu Bu rode up and knocked the weapon out of Dong Min's hand with his halberd. "If you're not afraid of death, ask the entire Dong clan if they're willing to be buried with you."

The entire Dong clan?

Dong Min was stunned for a moment, and his anger gradually calmed down. This was the most important reason for his panic. Once the door to Mei County was knocked open by the tigers and wolves outside, he would lose not only the money in his hands, but also the lives of the entire Dong family.

"Li Su killed the Prime Minister, killed Qing'er, and even his own flesh and blood. Do you think he will let you go?"

Lü Bu looked around at the Dong family troops gathered around him and calmly stated a fact, "Dong Zhuo's era is over. If you continue to stay here, you will only lose both your life and wealth. You should be thankful that I was the first to open this door."

Dong Min sneered, "You and Li Su are the same. Li Su is ruthless and cruel, and you are heartless and ruthless. Neither of you is a good person."

Hua Xiong defended himself, "Fengxian was framed by Li Su. He never intended to murder the Prime Minister. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered to tell you all this. I would have sent you back to reunite with the Prime Minister long ago."

Dong Min's tone softened slightly, "If you were framed, why didn't you come back in time to explain to the Prime Minister?"

What to explain? This question is not clear at all.

Lü Bu said nothing more. He looked down at Dong Min and said calmly, "You have two choices. Either take some money and return to Liang Province with the Dong family, or defeat me. I'll give you half an hour to consider."

Hua Xiong was speechless. Are these two choices? There is clearly only one choice! Not to mention Dong Min alone, even the entire Mei County army combined couldn't defeat him.

Lu Bu dismounted and thrust his Fang Tian Hua Ji into the ground. The end of the halberd smashed the bluestone slabs and stabbed into the soil below. Lu Bu just stood quietly at the gate waiting for Dong Min's decision.

Hua Xiong advised, "Shuying, just trust Fengxian. He truly has no intention of harming the Prime Minister. He's returned to collect the treasury accumulated in Mei County, but he's also returned to save your lives. If you don't leave, we'll end up in war. I'm not exaggerating. Now that the city gates are open, Fengxian alone can defeat all three thousand of you. Why make a senseless sacrifice? If you hesitate any longer, once the imperial court sends troops, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."

Dong Min was still hesitating, but he saw the soldiers surrounding the front suddenly make way for a passage, and Dong Zhuo's wife Wu came over supported by a young lady.

"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Dong Min was slightly surprised when he saw Wu, and hurried forward to greet her.

"I came to see my son-in-law!"

Wu Shi slowly walked up to Lu Bu with her cane. Lu Bu bowed and said, "Old Madam!"

After not seeing her for more than two years, Wu's originally black hair had turned gray, her back was hunched, and she looked even more haggard.

Wu nodded slightly and looked Lü Bu over from head to toe. "It's been a while since we last met. Fengxian is even more heroic than he was two years ago. My son has good taste..."

She sighed heavily as she spoke, "But she was spoiled by me and my husband. She has a domineering temper and doesn't know how to be a wife. She even did such shameless things, which brought disaster upon herself and her father."

Lü Bu remained silent. The right and wrong of this matter were already difficult to determine. Dong Qing was wrong, Li Su was wrong, and so was he. The biggest fault lay with Dong Zhuo. If he had listened to his advice and not come to Luoyang and wade into this muddy water, he would still be the overlord of the Mushou region.

However, it all comes down to human desires. Dong Zhuo was unable to resist the desire for power, Dong Qing was unable to resist the desire for love, and Li Su was unable to resist the desire for the flesh, leading to one wrong step and another.

As for myself, I was also unable to resist my love for Amo and my ambition to dominate the world.

The reason why we are human beings is that we have seven emotions and six desires. There is nothing wrong with these seven emotions and six desires. What is wrong is the method of achieving the goal.

Wu continued, "I know Fengxian is a good man who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He came here today to save my Dong family. I can let Shuying take people away from Mei County, and I can give you everything in Meiwu. I only ask one thing of you."

"Please tell me, Madam. If I can do it, I will never refuse!"

Wu nodded in satisfaction and pushed the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl next to her towards Lu Bu. "This is my granddaughter Dong Bai. You've met her twice before. I want to entrust her to you. I hope you can take her as a concubine and let her live a life without..."

Before Wu could finish her words, Lu Bu interrupted her, "Excuse me, old lady, but I cannot agree to this."

"Why? Bai'er has a gentle personality and has read a lot of poetry and books. She is completely different from her aunt. She is also good-looking. What's wrong with having more people to serve you?" Wu asked in surprise.

"I will never take a concubine in this life. Thank you for your kindness, madam." Lu Bu bowed and declined.

Are you kidding? He just got rid of Dong Qing and now Dong Bai comes. Isn’t this going to kill him?

"Not taking a concubine? How could you be so in love with that woman?" Wu's eyes showed even more surprise.

Thinking of Amo, Lu Bu's eyes softened. "For my whole life, she is the only one!" He said, took a step back and bowed again, "Old Madam, go back and pack up, and leave Mei County tonight!"

Lü Bu said this, and no longer paid any attention to them. He said to Hua Xiong, "Send someone to requisition all the cattle, horses, and carts in the county and go to Meiwu to load the goods."

"Yes!" Hua Xiong responded and took his men to requisition vehicles from various households in the city.

Dong Min subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he saw Lu Bu's cold gaze, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Seeing that Lu Bu was determined not to accept Dong Bai, Wu sighed deeply and stopped forcing him!

She patted the back of Dong Bai's hand, turned around and walked back. When she passed by Dong Min, she said, "Go and have someone pack up. Let's go!"

"Sister-in-law?"

Wu stopped and looked at him. "Can you defeat Fengxian? Can you defeat the imperial court?"

Dong Min shook his head. Wu said, "That's it. If we can't win, we can only spend money to avoid disaster. But if we lose our possessions, we'll lose our lives. What's the point of having so much stuff? Money is an eye-catcher. If we take so much on the road, I'm afraid we won't even reach Xiliang before it's all gone to the thieves. It's better to give it to Fengxian."

This is also the reason why Dong Min did not dare to leave Mei County. He also knew that the court would come to settle accounts with them. The reason why he did not leave immediately was that he was afraid that he would not be able to protect these things on the road and would lose both his life and money.

At least Lu Bu had left some for them. Although Dong Min was unwilling, he had no choice but to pack up his things and leave Mei County overnight with more than 100 members of the Dong family and 1,000 soldiers.

Dong Zhuo had stored countless treasures and food in Meiwu. It took Lu Bu and his men two days to clear them out. They found that the vehicles in Mei County were far from enough, so they requisitioned oxen and horses from Meiyang and Wugong counties to load them up. Of course, these requisitioned things were gone but could not be returned. Lu Bu paid some food as a purchase, recruited soldiers from Mei County, and recruited more than 10,000 civilians for transportation. These things were arranged five days later.

Li Su received the news on the third day after Lu Bu entered Mei County. He wanted to send troops to intercept him, but he was afraid of Lu Bu. He thought about the soldiers on the city wall who didn't even dare to shoot arrows at Lu Bu that day. Even if he sent people out, it would only be a formality. He could only watch Lu Bu escort the convoy of more than 10,000 vehicles back to Bingzhou with great pain.

To be honest, the arrow that Lu Bu threw from the top of the city wall that day could have easily pierced Li Su's head, but Lu Bu didn't do that. This made Li Su feel that Lu Bu had let him go. Since Lu Bu didn't pursue the betrayal, Li Su didn't want to bother Lu Bu anymore. From then on, everyone just lived their own lives.

Lu Bu's mighty army left Youfufeng smoothly and went through Zuofengyi and Hedong Commandery as they had come, returning to Bingzhou two months later.
