Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

"Do not--"

Xu Chu roared and stretched out his hand to stop it, but saw something flying in front of him. With a clang, the knife fell to the ground. He looked quickly and saw that there was only a shallow scratch on Amo's face.

Lu Bu looked at the wound on Zhang Mo's cheek with a complicated look. If he had not acted quickly just now, the young lady's face would have been ruined.

Zhang Liao was stunned. "Has the young lady gone mad? Why would she suddenly want to destroy her appearance?"

"Daughter, why are you doing this?" Wang Yun was frightened by Zhang Mo and scolded her harshly.

"Godfather, I'm scared. Anren is implicated because of me. This face is a disaster. It might bring disaster to godfather and brother someday. It's better to destroy it." Her voice trembled slightly.

If she were disfigured, perhaps she could escape the fate of becoming Diao Chan or entering the palace as a concubine.

Hearing that she was worried about bringing disaster upon herself, Wang Yun softened his expression and said soothingly, "This isn't your fault. Anren came here to repay his kindness. If you ruin your appearance, he'll blame himself when he wakes up. Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine once we return to Jinyang. You may not know that our family is a prominent aristocratic family in Jinyang. Even the prefect would have to show some courtesy to us. Promise your father not to hurt you again."

Lu Bu walked over, bent down to pick up the broken jade, glanced at Zhang Mo, and said in a cold voice with a hint of contempt: "Only cowards would think that a face is a disaster!"

When I saw her being so calm and collected even when being humiliated by the thieves, I thought she was a person with a strong character, but I didn't expect her to be a cowardly little woman.

Cowardly? Zhang Mo looked at him blankly. In the past, she was bullied by thugs in Yangdi. She didn't dare to resist because she didn't have the ability to do so. Later, Xu Fu helped her resist, but in return, she was imprisoned.

Even if Xu Fu did not kill the ruffians, as long as they continued to live in Yangdi, they would continue to be harassed. She had no choice but to be cowardly and compromise.

He thought that by following Wang Yun and gathering a few people with strong martial arts skills, he could bully others, but in the end he was still bullied. Yesterday it was the eunuchs, today it was a group of bandits, and tomorrow there will be Dong Zhuo and so many warlords.

She had agreed to stop Dong Zhuo from seizing power, but how exactly was she going to do that? She had never really thought about it or planned it.

Her little cleverness can't even protect herself, so how can she fight against the eunuchs who have been immersed in officialdom and harem for many years, and the Western Liang cavalry who roam the world?

What is the rule to save your life in troubled times?

Status? Even high and mighty people like the Young Emperor and Empress Dowager He still met their end at the hands of Dong Zhuo!

Power? General He Jin had enough power, but he was killed by a group of eunuchs!

Money? So many wealthy Pengcheng gentry were thrown into the Si River and drowned by Cao Cao!

Fame? Bian Rang and Cai Yong were famous enough, but someone still dared to kill them!

Without a strong enough fist, even if you get these, you will lose them in the end.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mo suddenly understood that if she wanted to gain the right to speak in troubled times, she first needed to form an armed force, an army that was more powerful than Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army!

However, it is obviously not possible to train such troops by relying on Xu Chu and Guan Hai.

Xu Chu only knew how to fight with brute force and knew nothing about training soldiers. Although Guan Hai had been a general of the Yellow Turbans, the people he led were just a mob.

Zhang Mo looked up at Lu Bu. Although this man's character was not very good in history, his martial arts and combat talents were indisputable.

When he was in Bingzhou, his Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry made the Huns terrified; when he fought against Heishan with Yuan Shao, he often dared to break into Zhang Yan's army with just a dozen cavalry, as if he was strolling in his own home, and moved freely among thousands of troops.

Judging from his current behavior, he still has a strong sense of justice. If he kidnaps someone...

When Lu Bu saw Zhang Mo staring at him with burning eyes, he suddenly felt like he was being cared for. Could it be that the young lady had taken a fancy to him?

Although the young lady particularly caught his eye, it was a pity that she was too young.

At this time, Wang Yun came over and bowed to Lü Bu and Zhang Liao. "I am deeply grateful to you two for saving me today. May I know your names, brave men?"

Lu Bu cast aside this strange feeling, looked away from Zhang Mo's face, and waved his hand nonchalantly, "My humble name is not worth mentioning. It's just a small favor. Don't be polite, old man."

Wang Yun invited them sincerely, "This place is not far from Jinyang. Please follow me into the city. I will treat you well as a token of my gratitude."

"No need, I have something else to do, so let's say goodbye."

Lu Bu said calmly, then looked at Zhang Mo, "Young lady, don't forget to send the reward later!"

Zhang Mo: ???

Wei Xu walked over and said, "You said you'd pay tenfold, so that's twenty bottles of golden wound medicine, and the corn..."

He counted on his fingers, "Last night and this morning, you only ate two bowls of rice. Any less wouldn't look good, so let's just say one stone, and then..."

He pointed at Lu Bu's clothes on Zhang Mo and said, "Ten robes, make them according to these measurements."

He took the broken jade from Lu Bu's hand and said, "This is the engagement token between my sister and brother-in-law. Now it's broken because of your face. How do you want to make amends?"

Zhang Mo was dumbfounded. Everything else was fine, but this engagement token was so significant. Where could she get another one like it? Even if she did, it wouldn't hold the same meaning.

"This..." She looked at Lu Bu, "How about I take it back and ask someone to inlay it with gold?"

Lu Bu stared at the broken jade, his wife's face appearing in his mind. After nearly a year, his image had become a little blurry.

He and his wife had been married for only half a year, and they had only been together for half a month before returning to the military camp. When he learned that she was pregnant, he just went back to take a look and left again. In his mind, his wife's only role was to take care of the housework, serve his parents-in-law, and carry on the family line. He no longer carried this piece of jade with him, but he found it yesterday when he was helping Amo get clothes. He was moved for a moment and stuffed it into his arms, but he didn't expect that it would be broken today.

What's the point of connecting it? The person is already dead, and keeping it will only add to the sadness.

"No need!" He glanced at Wei Xu, "If you want, stay."

"Oh!" Wei Xu responded unhappily and put the jade in his arms.

Zhang Mo looked at the two of them cautiously. "What else do you need? I can bring it to you another day."

Wei Xu was unhappy and snorted, "We're still short of two bed warmers. Will you send them?"

Zhang Mo: “…”

She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wang Yun and others not far away, and said in a low voice, "This... I will do my best."

The demands of our benefactors are greater than anything else. No matter how difficult it is, we must do our best to help them achieve them!

Wei Xu had originally said it as a joke, but when he heard her actually agree, he was stunned and thought to himself, "A little girl who can torture a thief to death is definitely not a normal person!"

Lu Bu's mouth twitched, and he looked at Zhang Mo meaningfully, then jumped on his horse and walked slowly into the woods.

…………

In the woods, Lü Bu and Zhang Liao walked side by side. Zhang Liao spoke excitedly, "Brother, the old man just now said that the Jinyang governor treated him with respect. What do you think, if I go and ask him to help me with your matter, would that be feasible?"

Lu Bu shook his head. "The old man comes from a respectable family, and judging by his appearance, he seems to be a man who abides by the rules. If he knew I was a fugitive, I'm afraid he would be the first to gather the governor to arrest me."

"No way? The young lady knelt down and begged for a guard, which shows that she is a kind and loyal person. That family should not be bad either."

Lu Bu chuckled. "Didn't you hear the little girl calling that old man 'adopted father'? Rich people love to keep singing girls. She's so young, yet so beautiful! In my opinion, she's just a tool for the old man. Who knows what powerful noble she'll be given as a concubine someday."

Having said this, he felt uncomfortable again, but it was not the dull pain as before, it was just a very unhappy feeling.

Wei Xu said from behind, "Why bother asking for help? Zi Zheng has some news, right? Let's go to Youfufeng and find him to join Dong Zhuo."

Zhang Liao said, "Before I came to you, I had already made inquiries. Dong Zhuo's previous campaign against the rebels in Ji Province was unsuccessful, and he was dismissed from his position as the Supreme Court Judge and put on trial, but was later pardoned. A few months ago, a rebellion broke out in Liang Province, and Your Majesty recently appointed him General of the Central Guards, to accompany General Huangfu to suppress the rebellion. He is quite a chivalrous man, and enjoys making friends with brave men. Your brother is a brave warrior, so joining him might be a good option."

Lu Bu said, "There's no rush for this matter. Wait a little longer!"

The problem with the Yang family had not been resolved yet, and Dong Zhuo could not protect him at this time. His plan was that if he really could not solve the problem with the Yang family, he would wait for Dong Zhuo to advance into Luoyang and then go to join him. By then, he could make military achievements for him at Hulao Pass and he would still be valued.

As long as he doesn't kill Dong Zhuo, no one can touch him.
