After packing up his things, Lu Bu followed Zhang Mo into the city and came to her private house in Jinyang.

The house has two parts, front and back, with a total of twelve rooms. There is a wine workshop in the front yard. Obviously, her fine wines are brewed here.

There is a large courtyard between the two rows of houses, about 80 or 90 meters square, with a tiled floor and a row of weapon racks on each side.

Zhang Mo gathered everyone in the house into the courtyard and introduced them, "This is the martial arts instructor I hired for you all. Come meet Instructor Lu."

Everyone lined up neatly, clasped their fists in salute, and shouted, "Coach Lu!"

This title...

Lu Bu felt a little uncomfortable, but still waved his hand coolly, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.

Zhang Mo pointed to a thin young man at the head of the group and said to Lü Bu, "This is Zhang Chang. He was formerly the Junior Householder of Jinyang. His father's family was confiscated due to embezzlement, and he was enslaved by the government. Zhang Chang has a few years of education and can read and do arithmetic. Currently, he is mainly responsible for teaching them to recognize words and simple arithmetic."

Zhang Chang stepped forward again and saluted, "Greetings, Coach Lu!"

Lu Bu nodded. Zhang Mo pointed to the other nine young men of similar age and height and said, "Their names are Zhang Feng, Zhang Lang, Zhang Hui, Zhang Zhi, Zhang Yun, Zhang Fan, Zhang Ji, Zhang Cang, and Zhang Hai."

Lu Bu looked at them one by one. Except for Zhang Chang who was a little worse, the other nine people had thick bones and were good materials for martial arts training.

These were the ones Zhang Mo had asked Xu Chu to pick out specially from the slave market. Now that they had limited funds, they couldn't support too many people at once, so they could only focus on cultivating all-round talents.

"And this one, his name is Guo Qiang, he is only nine years old this year. Let him practice with us." Zhang Mo pointed to a little boy next to her.

Guo Qiang looked up at Lu Bu, and was frightened by his resolute and cold face, and quickly lowered his head.

However, a little girl of about six or seven years old standing next to him was not afraid at all. She took a step forward and said softly, "My name is Juxiang. I love practicing martial arts the most. Coach Lu, I will definitely learn it well."

Lu Bu thought of his younger sister, who was about the same age as Juxiang. Every time he went back, his younger sister would pester him to take her horseback riding. She was such a young child, how scared must she have been when the Hu people broke into their home?

Lu Bu felt sad for a moment. He touched the small bun on Juxiang's head and said softly, "Learning martial arts is very hard. Can you persist?"

Juxiang clenched her fists and vowed, "If Sister Amo can persevere, I can do it too."

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Mo in surprise, "Are you also learning martial arts?"

I never thought this delicate young lady could endure such hardship. No wonder she was able to kill the horse thieves with one strike last time.

"Just learn some self-defense skills to keep fit."

Speaking of learning martial arts, Zhang Mo couldn't help complaining in her heart. If she hadn't lost the system, she wouldn't have to get up before dawn every day to run and practice boxing. Since coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty, staying in bed has become a luxury!

After introducing herself, Juxiang pulled a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl next to her and said, "Master Lu, this is my sister. A-Mo said she wants her to marry you. If you marry my sister, can I call you brother-in-law?"

Juxiang looked at Lu Bu with full anticipation. Her brother-in-law was so tall and must be very powerful. If her sister married him, no one would dare to bully her anymore.

Lü Bu glanced at the girl, but before he could say anything, Wei Xu called out, "Coach Lü will not be your brother-in-law. He is my brother-in-law, mine."

The little stars in Juxiang's eyes gradually disappeared, and she pouted, "So you are already someone else's brother-in-law..."

Zhang Mo rolled her eyes at Wei Xu speechlessly. How could a grown man like him compete with a little girl?

She touched Juxiang's little head and comforted her, "Master Lu can be someone else's brother-in-law as well as your brother-in-law. Don't cry, don't cry. Brother Wei is just teasing you!"

"certainly not……"

Wei Xu added, "Your sister can only be my brother-in-law's concubine at most. A concubine is a servant. You cannot call him brother-in-law."

Juxiang didn't understand what a concubine was and shouted, "As long as Coach Lu is with my elder sister, he is my brother-in-law."

Wei Xu was about to retort, but Lu Bu said impatiently, "Enough, Xu, you've grown up and are now able to bully little kids."

What about wife, concubine, brother-in-law or not? Have you asked for his opinion?

Seeing Wei Xu being taught a lesson, Juxiang laughed triumphantly again and pulled her sister Hexiang to her side, saying, "Brother-in-law, look, is my sister pretty?"

Lu Bu had noticed this girl a long time ago. Her face and figure were absolutely one in a million. The key point was that she had a cold and aloof temperament. Those who didn't know her background would mistakenly think she was a lady from a wealthy family.

"Is this the bed warmer you found for me?" Lu Bu turned and looked at Zhang Mo.

"Well, I just found this one who's both pretty and willing, and thought I'd give you a surprise."

The best way to keep people here is to let them start a family here. With a wife and children, they will have something to care about. Although Lu Bu's character was not very good in history, he really loved his family. At least every time he ran away, he remembered to take his family with him, unlike his senior brother Liu Bei, who left his wife wherever he went.

"So, you are sure that I will follow you into the city?" Lu Bu said.

The girl had prepared all the bed warmers for him, and it was obvious that she was well prepared to persuade him to cooperate.

Zhang Mo smiled flatteringly, "No, I'm just prepared for any eventuality, just prepared for any eventuality!"

Better to be prepared? Lu Bu laughed dumbly. In terms of beauty, the little girl was the best he had ever seen. It wasn't that she was the most beautiful, but she was the most pleasing to the eye.

Comparing her height, which was almost as high as his chest, Lu Bu suddenly asked, "Amo, how old are you?"

“Ah???” Zhang Mo was stunned.

"How old are you?" Lu Bu asked. Amo looked young, but her words and actions did not match her age at all. He couldn't help but treat her as someone of the same age.

Zhang Mo was confused and replied, "Eleven years old!"

To be honest, she didn't know the age of this body. She could only roughly judge it based on its physical development. It was about eleven or twelve years old. During this year, she followed Wang Yun, eating and drinking well, and exercising diligently. Her body grew very fast and she was already 1.6 meters tall.

A smile welled up in Lu Bu's eyes, "Then I can promise it to someone in two or three years."

"Hmm???" He is still worried about whether she will get married or not?

Lu Bu turned his eyes away and coughed lightly, "It's okay."

Zhang Mo looked at his somewhat uncomfortable expression suspiciously and thought to herself, "Could this girl possibly want to marry me to Wei Xu?"

Wei Xu is not a good guy. He even betrayed his own brother-in-law in Xia Pi City. She would rather marry Lu Bu than Wei Xu. Wait, what is she thinking? Lu Bu is nearly ten years older than her. He will be old when she grows up. There is no point in marrying him!

Putting aside her wild thoughts, Zhang Mo introduced a few other people.

The 45-year-old, burly middle-aged man was called Guo Han, the honest-looking young man next to him was called Guo Yu, and there was a seven-year-old girl named Guo Yu, who was the sibling of Guo Qiang.

This family of four originally lived in Pingcheng on the border and had inherited the blacksmithing skills from their ancestors. In the past two years, due to the frequent southward migration of the Xianbei, Guo Han could not bear the harassment from the Hu people, so he sold his property and moved his family to Jinyang.

When they were almost on the way to Jinyang, they were robbed by bandits. Their daughter-in-law was abducted and Guo Yu was seriously injured. The whole family was reduced to beggars. Zhang Mo met them on the way to buy a slave. She just gave them a few coins, but she didn't expect Guo Han to beg to sell Guo Yu to her. Zhang Mo asked and learned that Guo Han was a blacksmith, so she simply took the whole family back.

After getting to know everyone, Zhang Mo said to Zhang Chang and the others, "This Coach Lu is quite capable. You must train diligently this year and don't be lazy."

Then he said to Lu Bu, "Practice till death. Just don't die or become disabled."

If she couldn't keep Lu Bu, she only had one year, so she had to at least train these people first. If possible, she could bring Xu Chu, Guan Hai and others over to train Lu Bu. Such good resources must be fully utilized.

"Hmm!" Lu Bu responded, looking up at the sky. "It's getting late. I'll take you back to the palace and show you the way."

"You should learn the ropes, but until you're cleared of the charges, you'd better try not to wander around. If someone reports you, and you mistakenly think I betrayed you, you'll be wrongly accused."

Lu Bu smiled evilly, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. If the soldiers really come, I will go to your house and kidnap you so that we can escape together."

Zhang Mo: ...

We should open the mine quickly and build a farm outside the city. It’s too dangerous to let this guy go outside!
