Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

In the hall, three people had three different expressions. Meixiang knew what Amo was going to say, so she lowered her head with a shy look on her face; Guan Hai probably knew what Amo was going to say, so he had a wooden face and no expression; Zhang Mo looked at this and that, looking a little embarrassed.

"uh-huh……"

She softened her throat and said, "I called you two in because... well... I want to ask you something..."

Zhang Mo had already asked Meixiang about the question before coming to Juyi Village, so she brought her here with her. What she wanted to ask today was just Guan Hai's attitude.

She looked at Guan Hai, "It's just... you're not a child anymore, it's time to start a family. There's a saying that there are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no offspring. Well... Meixiang may not be particularly beautiful, but she's incredibly virtuous. She can do everything from washing clothes to cooking to taking care of the children. She's also been in love with you for years. As the saying goes, marry a wife for her virtue, not her beauty; marry a woman for her heart, not her wealth. A virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations of a family, and is better than thousands of acres of fertile land. With a virtuous wife, there's no need to worry about a poor family; with a filial son, there's no need for a father to lead…"

The first time Zhang Mo was acting as a matchmaker, she racked her brains and rattled off a bunch of nonsense. Finally, she cautiously asked, "What do you think... of Meixiang?"

Guan Hai's gaze turned from elsewhere, first falling on Amo's eyes, but then turned away in a moment to look at Meixiang.

"very good!"

His tone was as calm as usual, but Meixiang quickly looked up and looked at him with joy in her eyes.

Zhang Mo also looked delighted. "Since Anren thinks she's great, does that mean he agrees?"

"It's all up to you!" His face remained expressionless and his tone was calm, as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with him at all.

Zhang Mo's joy faded slightly. "What do you mean I'm in charge of everything? I asked you to marry a pig, and you married him?"

She had figured out that Guan Hai had no special romantic feelings for Mei Xiang. However, Mei Xiang hadn't noticed, and when she heard Guan Hai agreed to marry her, her face beamed like a flower.

Zhang Mo looked at the two of them and said to Meixiang, "You go out first. I'll discuss this with Anren."

She didn't say what they were discussing, so Meixiang automatically thought it was about marriage. She glanced at Guan Hai shyly and then obediently went out.

"Are you really willing to marry her?" Zhang Mo asked.

Guan Hai's expression finally changed a little. He asked in surprise, "Didn't you ask me to marry you?"

As expected! Zhang Mo sighed lightly and said earnestly, "I hope you marry her because you truly love her, and not because I arranged the matchmaking. You and Meixiang have both been with me since the beginning, and I don't want to force you two to be together and become a couple with grievances."

Guan Hai lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. After a long pause, he looked up at her again. "How many couples in this world can be as happy as you and Fengxian? Many people have never even met each other before getting married, so how can they really love each other? Since I have agreed to marry her, I will treat her well for the rest of her life. Don't worry, Amo."

"Will you really treat her well forever? What if you meet a woman you like in the future?"

"There won't be that person." Guan Hai's tone was firm this time.

"In that case, when you return from Hanoi, I will arrange your marriage."

This is not modern times. Even in modern times, there are so many couples who do not marry because of love. As long as both of them are willing, she does not need to worry about whether they like each other or not. According to Guan Hai's character, since he has made a promise, he will definitely keep it. It would be good for them to respect each other like guests for the rest of their lives.

"Ok!"

Guan Hai replied softly and sent her out. Zhang Mo walked to the door and said to Meixiang, "You can stay here. It's too far to get married from Jinyang. I'll have someone send the dowry over when I have time."

Zhang Mo didn't have any idea that they couldn't meet before marriage, and Juyi Village didn't pay so many attention to etiquette and rules. Anyway, they were getting married soon, so it would be troublesome to run back and forth.

…………

Time quickly came to August in Huai County, the capital of Hanoi County.

"What? Lu Bu is here?"

In the early morning, Wang Kuang jumped out of his bed in a daze. All his sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He hurriedly put on his shoes and boots while asking, "How many troops did you bring? Where did you go?"

The soldier replied, "There are only a dozen or so riders, and they are already at the city gate."

"More than a dozen people?" Wang Kuang paused as he put on his shoes. "Are you sure he came in person?"

The soldier said uncertainly, "The leader claims to be Lü Bu, the governor of Bingzhou, and has come with a letter of appointment from Your Majesty personally written by him as the governor of Henei."

"Does he have the imperial edict?" Wang Kuang urged, his eyes fixed on the emperor. "Go and call Xu Ziyuan, and come with me to see Lü Bu."

The soldier turned to leave when Wang Kuang called him back, "Order all troops to assemble at the east gate."

Wang Kuang was very nervous at first, but after knowing that Lu Bu only brought a dozen people, he immediately calmed down. If he took this opportunity to kill Lu Bu, not only would he not have to give up Henei County, he could also join forces with Bai Bo to take Bingzhou. As for the second son of Yuan Shao, he was not the most favored anyway. Yuan Shao had three sons, and the death of one was no big deal.

Xu You had just woken up when he received the news. His reaction was not as intense as Wang Kuang's, but he was extremely confused.

With his troops unable to enter, what could Lü Bu achieve by taking over Henei County with a few men? Was he simply hoping to gain the respect of the Henei nobles and powerful? Or did he imagine that he could rule Henei with just a few men? Or did he believe that Wang Kuang's troops would retreat, and he could then open up the Taihang Pass? Or did he intend to use his prefectural authority to force the people of Jiguan to leave?

There is something fishy about this matter!

Xu You couldn't help but think of Mr. Zhang, who was highly respected by his lord. To be honest, although this man was young, he had good strategies and his ability to judge people was even better. His bright almond-shaped eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and see through everything in the world. If it was Mr. Zhang who was giving advice to Lu Bu behind the scenes this time, then the matter would be in jeopardy.

He walked back and forth in the room with his hair loose, and suddenly stopped, thinking of a possibility.

"Someone, come and tie my hair!" Xu You shouted.

After tying his hair into a bun, Xu You hurried to see Wang Kuang. Before he reached the county magistrate's office, he saw soldiers in the city gathering towards the city gate, and he felt something was wrong.

When he arrived at the prefectural governor's mansion, Wang Kuang was putting on his armor. Xu You's face turned cold, "What is Gongjie going to do?"

Wang Kuang adjusted his helmet and said excitedly, "Ziyuan, Lü Bu only brought a dozen cavalrymen with him. I have four thousand soldiers in the city. Even a single spit from each of them can drown him. If we kill Lü Bu and Bingzhou falls into our lord's hands, you and I will have accomplished a great feat."

Xu You angrily retorted, "Are you confused? Let's not even talk about whether your four thousand men can kill Lü Bu. The Second Young Master is still in Bing Province. If anything happens to him, how will you explain this to your lord?"

A young general beside Wang Kuang said, "Ziyuan is right. Lord, please don't act rashly! I've heard that Lü Bu can often single-handedly lead a thousand-man army. We may not be able to kill him. Moreover, he's carrying an imperial edict from Your Majesty. If you execute him, you would be disloyal. You promised Envoy Yuan that you would cede Henei, and now you're going back on your word. This is unjust. We can't do this!"

Wang Kuang said, "Although Lü Bu has the imperial edict, he is already the governor of Bingzhou. Your Majesty will not appoint him as the governor of Henei. I only killed Lü Bu and did not touch the new governor. This does not count as disloyalty. As for my lord, I am acting for his great cause. How can this be unrighteous?"

He touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, his eyes narrowed slightly. "I know Lu Bu is brave and can't be killed outside the city. I just need to wait for him to enter the city. Once the city gates are closed, can he still fly out? As for the second young master, his life is exchanged for a state of land. He died a worthy death."
