Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

The news that Zhang Mo was assassinated and seriously injured spread throughout Yecheng that morning. Ju Shou, Xu You, Guo Tu, Qu Yi, Gao Lan and others rushed to the Prince of Tang's mansion as soon as possible, but they had no way of seeing her in person. They could only watch from outside the door as the maid brought in basins of clean water, which turned into basins of blood when they came out.

"Who did it? Who on earth did it? I'm going to kill his whole family! Kill his whole family!" Qu Yi was furious and walked back and forth in the yard, cursing.

Xu You glanced at Ju Su with ill intent and angrily exclaimed, "Who else could it be? It's obvious with a toe that it must be those traitors who were forcibly separated! These people have already committed the capital crime of exterminating their families. The princess was kind enough to spare their lives, but not only are they ungrateful, they even dared to hire assassins to assassinate them. They've just left Yecheng and already arrested over thirty assassins. This shows how arrogant these traitors are!"

Ju Su's face was full of guilt. He was the one who opposed the massacre that day. Now that the princess was assassinated and her life was in danger, he had an unshirkable responsibility!

After hearing what Xu You said, Qu Yi walked to the door and asked Xu Chu, "Did the princess give any instructions before she fell unconscious? Do you want me to arrest all those people?"

Xu Chu said with a dull expression, "The princess said that the task of tracking down the murderer will be left to Juzhou Mu and me, and that the king should be asked to return as soon as possible to take charge of the situation. She didn't mention arresting anyone!"

"What else is there to investigate? Those assassins are either killers or death squads, and they can't be pried into talking. In my opinion, all the rebellious families are suspicious, so just arrest them!" Qu Yi said angrily.

"The princess is the king's life. If he knew the princess's current situation, how could he remain calm? What if..."

Xu You felt that even if the king returned, he would be unable to take charge of the situation. His face turned pale, and he clasped his hands together and looked up to the sky, muttering, "God, please bless me. Please keep the princess safe and sound. I, Xu Ziyuan, thank you very much, thank you!"

"It's no use asking for blessings. We should hurry to Bingzhou and ask for a miracle doctor!" said Qu Yi.

Xu Chu said, "I've already sent someone to invite them!"

As they were talking, the door opened and Ren Dong, who had become the chief physician of the Tang Palace, came out. Everyone hurriedly surrounded him, asking in a flurry, "What's wrong?" "Is he out of danger?"

Honeysuckle frowned, shook her head and sighed, "The arrow has been pulled out, but the princess has lost too much blood. I'm afraid...ah..."

He didn't finish his words, but seeing the gloomy expression and helpless tone of Jindong, he guessed what she was going to say next and burst into tears on the spot, "No, the princess is blessed by heaven. She is the reincarnation of a fairy. How can it be so easy... How can it be so easy... Wuuwuwu..."

His ideals, ambitions, wealth and glory were all pinned on her. How could he die? How could he die?

Qu Yi felt as if something was pulling at his chest. He admitted that he was still a little bit coveting the young doctor, but it was more because she was the only one in the world who understood him well enough and knew clearly what he wanted. He always remembered the words he vowed by the lotus pond in Jinyang that year, to defeat the military saint, surpass the military immortal, and become the military god!

Before he could realize this dream, would the woman in the room who claimed to be the reincarnation of the military saint die? Without her to control the king, would the king still indulge his arrogance and rudeness?

After hearing this, Ju Su staggered twice and could hardly stand. He really regretted at this moment that he should not have been so soft-hearted in the first place!

He looked up at the sun which was gradually setting in the west. It shouldn't be like this. The prosperous Tang Dynasty shouldn't end like this. The empire she wanted to build, where the king was the boat, the ministers were the oars, and the people were the water, had just begun. Without her, who could hold back the ferocious and mad tiger that was the king?

And as Xu Ziyuan said, the princess is the king's life. If she dies, will he let the entire Jizhou be buried with her?

Gao Lan's face was also filled with sadness. Although he had only met the princess once, this woman made him feel very comfortable. She was a hundred times wiser than Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. She shouldn't have died like this!

Guo Tu lowered his eyes and pretended to be sad, but in his heart he was thinking about where he would find another way out if the king could not bear the blow.

"Everyone, please go and do your work. The princess needs to rest!" Honeysuckle ordered everyone to leave.

Xu You immediately stopped crying, not daring to make another sound. Ju Su bowed and left first. Guo Tu quickly followed him out of the courtyard. Qu Yi whispered, "I'll go to the front yard and wait for news. If the assassin speaks, I'll lead the troops to capture him myself!"

That being said, he felt that the possibility of obtaining useful information through interrogation was slim.

"I'll go to the front yard and wait too!" Xu You followed Qu Yi and left, Gao Lan also retreated. Xu Chu gave some instructions to Ren Dong and Yan Bing, and followed Ju Su to the prison to interrogate the assassin.

On that day, news of Zhang Mo's critical condition came from the Tang Palace. Zhen Yan was so excited that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet. When he finally calmed down, he immediately sent someone to deliver the good news to Cao Cao, asking him to pay close attention to the situation in Jizhou and be prepared. At the same time, he went to Yingsha Pavilion and paid a large sum of money to ask him to send more people to ambush and kill Lu Bu on the way back to Yecheng from Bohai.

Yecheng is not far from Puyang, and Cao Cao received the news on the third day.

"Is this true? She's dying? She's really dying?"

Early in the morning, Cao Cao had just woken up when he heard the news that surprised, delighted, yet painful and heartbreaking.

The man replied, "It's absolutely true. The arrow hit her directly in the heart that day. She was lucky not to die on the spot. However, according to the news from the palace, she is in critical condition and may be dead now!"

Cao Cao still didn't quite believe it and asked again, "Could it be that she deliberately spread the news?"

"That's unlikely. Hundreds of people saw her severely injured that day. It couldn't be fake." The man touched his heart and said, "How many people could survive if they were shot in that spot?"

"Then why didn't he die on the spot?" Cao Cao asked.

"Perhaps the shot was slightly off target. I am not very clear about this medical issue. Lord Cao, please ask a doctor to come and ask in detail to determine whether it is true or not."

"Yes, call a doctor!" Cao Cao came to his senses and immediately shouted to the outside, "Hurry to Guo's house to invite Dr. Hua, and also call Fengxiao, Wenruo and the others!"

The guards outside the door quickly ran to ask for help. Cao Cao asked the person who brought the news to leave. He walked back and forth in the hall alone with his hands behind his back, but he couldn't calm down.

In the Tang Dynasty, she was the only opponent he acknowledged. As for Lu Bu, that emotional man, he was not worth mentioning in Cao Cao's eyes. Now that she was about to die, or had already died, the Tang Dynasty was basically finished. Cao Cao felt that this surprise came too suddenly.

Yet, despite the surprise, a faint pain welled up in a corner of my heart. That woman, so beautiful and intelligent, almost a demon, the woman who shared the same ideals and beliefs as me, had died just like that? From now on, there would be no more of her in this world... no more of her...

Cao Cao had never felt so conflicted before. On the one hand, he hoped that she was really dead, but on the other hand, he hoped that she had deliberately released this news to confuse the enemy.
