Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

A month later, Zhang Mo's foot injury was almost healed, and she came to the woods with gifts to thank Lu Bu. In addition to the things she promised Wei Xu, there were also several jars of fine wine.

Zhang Mo bowed and said, "My benefactor!"

"Ok!"

Lu Bu was sitting on a tree stump, reading a bamboo slip that he had gotten from somewhere. He glanced at Zhang Mo from the side, then looked back at the bamboo slip, and after a moment he couldn't help but glance over again.

Wei Xu was counting things with a smile on his face and jokingly said, "There are still two bed warmers?"

Zhang Mo was a little embarrassed. "This... I just arrived in Jinyang not long ago. I'm unfamiliar with the place and it will be difficult to find a suitable person in a short time. Please give me some time."

"I'm glad you didn't forget. For the sake of the wine, I won't bother with you!"

Wei Xu popped the cork off a jar of wine, and a rich aroma of wine wafted into his nose.

"smell good!"

He couldn't wait to take a sip, and his eyes lit up immediately. He held the jar in front of Lu Bu like a treasure and said, "Brother-in-law, please try it. This wine is so fragrant."

Lu Bu could already smell the wine and took a sip. "It's really good wine!"

Xu Chu said proudly, "Of course, this wine is unique in the world today. A jar sells for one gold coin on the market, and many people can't afford it. Amo only sells five jars a day, but today I'm giving you ten jars in one go to thank you for saving me that day."

Wei Xu had a mouthful of wine in his mouth. He stared at the wine jar and then at Zhang Mo with disbelief. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out. One jar cost one gold bar, so this mouthful of wine must have cost him several hundred coins.

After a long time, he swallowed it slowly with a look of heartache and asked,

"Is this wine really that expensive?"

"Why would I lie to you? I'm just asking you if you've ever tasted wine this good before."

Wei Xu shook his head. Compared to this wine, what he drank before was just water.

Lü Bu looked at the wine lying on the ground and said to Zhang Mo, "Saving you that day was just a small favor. Just leave two jars and take the rest."

"Why?" Wei Xu asked, holding the wine jar tightly in his arms.

In the past, they were chivalrous and righteous, and were not polite at all when asking for things. Why are they suddenly so polite now?

Although Lu Bu also loved wine, for some reason, he didn't want to take advantage of the girl. The value of these ten jars of wine could buy a nice house in Jinyang.

Zhang Mo was slightly surprised. In history, Lu Bu was an insatiable man. His troops would plunder wherever they went. How could this Lu Bu refuse something that was delivered to his doorstep?

"My benefactor, I came here today not only to thank you two, but also to ask for a favor." Zhang Mo bowed.

"I have a name," Lu Bu said, looking up at her, as if waiting for her to change her mind.

Uh... Lu Bu? No, that's disrespectful to the ancients.

Fengxian? I don't seem to be that familiar with him, it feels weird.

"Brother Lu...?" Zhang Mo spoke hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Looking at her rather strange expression, Lu Bu raised the corners of his lips slightly.

"I would like to ask Brother Lu to help me train my troops."

Of course, the troops Zhang Mo mentioned were not the Wang family's troops. Although the Wang family was wealthy and powerful, they had three to four thousand retainers, troops, and tenants in Taiyuan County, but there were only more than a thousand young and strong among them, and only a small number of them served as guards. Relying on these people, the Wang family could not compete with the Western Liang Army at all.

Moreover, before Dong Zhuo's true identity was revealed, he was still a meritorious official of the court, and Wang Yun would never allow Zhang Mo to kill Dong Zhuo.

So she could only train soldiers in secret. Regarding the money and food for supporting the soldiers, Zhang Mo has also made detailed plans in recent days. Although selling wine makes money quickly, there have been frequent famines in recent years and food prices have remained high. Selling large quantities of distilled liquor will inevitably lead to further increases in food prices, and in the end it will be the lower-class civilians who suffer the most.

I am selling some wine now just to accumulate start-up capital for future coal mining.

As a native of Shanxi in her previous life, Zhang Mo envied the coal mine bosses the most. They would count money until their hands cramped. Now that she has traveled through time, she naturally wants to be a coal mine boss.

Shanxi is a major coal-producing province in China with extremely rich coal resources. It does not explore coal mines, but coal is formed from a series of changes in plant remains billions of years ago. The coal that should have been in the same place two thousand years ago is still buried there.

Zhang Mo didn't have the ability to dig deep coal mines, so she could only look for areas suitable for open-pit mining. In her previous life, she often saw large pits everywhere, the remains of open-pit mining. By carefully recalling where the large pits were, she could determine where the coal mines were shallow, which was within the reach of human power in this era.

Thanks to her father, a coal miner, she has a general understanding of some of the mining processes.

Only with money could she build a manor and secretly train soldiers and horses, but it was obviously impossible for her to do all this by herself. The first helper she thought of was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu looked at her with a puzzled expression. "You should already know what I have done wrong. Aren't you afraid of being implicated? I have offended the Yang clan of Hongnong."

When Zhang Mo heard that he was a fugitive, she returned to Jinyang to find out clearly that the murdered Yang Chuo was just a member of the Yang family's side branch. The reason why the Yang family insisted on capturing Lu Bu was more for face than hatred. Her adoptive father had a good relationship with Yang Ci, the current head of the Yang family. When her adoptive father was killed and imprisoned, Yang Ci was among those who pleaded for him.

Considering that Lu Bu saved her life, she could ask her adoptive father to plead for her. There is still room for improvement.

As long as the Yang family does not pursue the matter, the threat from the government will basically cease to exist. Bingzhou is full of bandits and Hu people, so who has the time to care about Lu Bu, the fugitive?

When it comes to fugitives, the government generally captures those that are easy to capture, and turns a blind eye to those that are difficult to capture. Lu Bu is obviously one of those who is particularly difficult to capture.

After Zhang Mo explained the reason, Lu Bu became interested and asked, "Who is your adoptive father? How could he be related to the Yang family?"

Zhang Mo said, "My father, Wang Yun, courtesy name Zishi, offended the Ten Attendants last year and was dismissed from office."

"Wang Yun?"

Lu Bu was slightly surprised. He actually met an old friend from his dream again?

In the dream, Wang Yun was appointed as Si Tu by Dong Zhuo, but in the end it was this man who instigated him to kill Dong Zhuo. Later, he and Si Tu Wang shared power in the government. After Chang'an City was broken, he kindly wanted to take Si Tu Wang with him to escape, but the old man was very stubborn and insisted on living and dying with Chang'an. In the end, his entire family was wiped out by Li Que and Guo Si.

Just destroy him. Wang Yun is not a good person anyway. Although he eliminated traitors for the country in the dream, Wang Yun and other scholars still looked down on him. If he did not have the military power in his hands, they would most likely do something like abandoning him after he has done his job.

In Lu Bu's opinion, Wang Yun's character was not very good. He said he was loyal to the emperor and the country, but when Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor, he did not dare to say a word. Instead, Lu Zhi stood up and strongly opposed it, but his opposition was ineffective.

However, in that life in the dream, he did not save Wang Yun's family. Judging from Wang Yun's attitude that day, he was quite grateful to him.

Lu Bu's mind was a little confused again. He didn't know whether he should believe what Amo said. He looked quite annoyed, rubbing his temples and remaining silent.

Wei continued, "Brother-in-law, what the young lady said makes sense. Perhaps her adoptive father can really help us."

Lu Bu felt that he was not a person who was suited to thinking. He could not figure out the difference between dreams and reality, truth and falsehood. He looked up at Zhang Mo and asked bluntly, "How sure are you?"

Zhang Mo didn't know Yang Ci well, so she could only say it was a possibility. She conservatively said, "About 50 or 60 percent!"

She sat down on another tree stump and continued, "Although Brother Lu loves to kill, I can see that you still have a strong sense of justice in your bones. My adoptive father is a bit old-fashioned, but he is not heartless. This matter is still very promising. You may wish to consider it."
