Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Chapter 451 Dry wood and fierce fire

It was already completely dark, and plates of exquisitely prepared New Year's Eve dinner were served on the table. The dining table in the Tang Palace was completely different from that of this era. It was made of two round wooden boards of different sizes stacked on top of each other, and the upper plate could rotate.

Not many people had the New Year's Eve dinner together this year. All adults and children sat at the same table. There was no distinction between the emperor and his subjects. In addition to Xu Shu and his mother, Xu Chu's family of three, Meixiang and Zhang Chunhua also sat at the table together.

Facing the table full of fragrant delicacies, everyone had just started to enjoy the meal, but they heard heavy and hurried footsteps outside. Then the door of the dining room was pushed open from the outside, and a gust of cold air rushed in. Xu Chu and Zhang Chunhua stood up subconsciously. After seeing who was coming, their slightly tense nerves suddenly relaxed and turned into a look of surprise.

"Who is it?" Zhang Mo was feeding Lu Xuan. She turned her head and took a look. Her expression froze for a moment!

"Daddy!" Lu Qian shouted in surprise, jumped off the chair and ran to the door to hug one of Lu Bu's legs. Lu Zhen, who was chewing a piece of meat in his mouth, also slid down and ran over to hug the other side.

"Daddy is back! Daddy is back!" Lu Xuan finally reacted, jumped down from the chair and rushed over. Lu Bu quickly took two steps forward, bent down and picked her up.

Xu Shu and the others were all surprised and quickly stood up to greet him, "Your Majesty!"

Lu Bu laughed heartily and said, "Your Majesty, there's no one here today. Stop being polite and sit down to continue!"

Aunt Xu laughed and said, "If we had known Fengxian was coming back, we wouldn't have come to join in the fun!"

Back home, Lu Bu was in high spirits. "New Year's Eve is a lively occasion with many people. A-Mo and I have no elders, so Auntie is our elder. Please don't say such inappropriate words!"

Lu Bu carried his daughter to Amo, looked at her tenderly, placed her on a chair, and said to everyone, "You guys eat first. I'll go wash and change clothes and come back!"

Meixiang said quickly, "There's hot water on the coal stove. I'll have someone prepare it right away!"

Zhang Mo came back to her senses at this time, her eyes showing unconcealed surprise. She pushed Meixiang back onto the chair and said, "You feed Hao'er, I'll go!"

Meixiang's dark eyes darted between the couple and she chuckled, "Then I'll be lazy!"

Zhang Mo glanced at her, turned around and told the maid to prepare hot water. The couple left the dining room. As soon as they walked outside, Lu Bu picked up his wife and carried her horizontally, "I miss you so much!"

His face, chilled by the cold wind, was just buried in her ear when Zhang Mo couldn't help but shiver. Lu Bu immediately reacted and raised his head, looking at her in the light of the red lanterns in the corridor. "Your face is rosy, it seems that you have recovered!"

Zhang Mo hooked her arms around his neck and asked, "Why did you come back so suddenly?"

"I miss you... Six nights ago, I dreamed you were crying. I felt so sad, so I handed over the things over there to Wenhe and Ziyi and rushed back to see you."

Zhang Mo thought about it. It was the night when she had a nightmare and couldn't sleep. She was touched, but jealousy also rose up. She snorted, "I heard that you fell in love with a woman in Liangzhou and stayed alone with her for an hour. Is that true?"

Lü Bu was stunned for a moment, then quickly explained, "There was a woman named Wang Yi. She came to me the other day and said that after hearing your story, she admired you very much and wanted to follow you to achieve great things. She asked me to take her with me when I returned to Yecheng. So I tested her martial arts and archery. Although not as good as Juxiang's, she was not bad either. I also saw that she was well-educated and smart, so I thought of bringing her back to you as an assistant. That's it. Don't think too much. My heart is already filled with you. How can there be room for anyone else? Even if a fairy came to me, she would not be able to catch my eye."

Every woman loves to hear sweet words. Zhang Mo's eyes overflowed with smiles, but she pretended to be calm and said, "Then I will reluctantly believe you!"

Lu Bu's hand under her arm tickled her, "Tell me the truth, were you upset about this that night?"

"Exactly. If you wanted to test her, why did you close the door and do it alone? Don't you know the term 'lonely man and lonely woman'?"

Lu Bu looked at her with a doting yet helpless smile, "Okay, okay, it's all your fault. I didn't care at all at that time, and we weren't alone. There were guards inside."

Zhang Mo finally put away her feminine temper and asked, "How's things going in Liangzhou? Is it okay for you to come back like this?"

Lü Bu said, "Only Song Jian and Cheng Gongying remain. The Liangzhou nobles have basically surrendered. Song Jian is a weakling. There's no need for me to intervene. Ziyi can handle it. I'll let him and Wenhe take full charge of Liangzhou affairs. With Fengxiao and the others here, there won't be any problems."

"So you're running back here alone? You're the king now, and your personal safety is very important."

"No, I brought two guards!"

As they were talking, they had already reached the washroom. Lu Bu sent the servants out and slammed the door shut, bolting it shut. Zhang Mo glanced at him and said, "What do you want to do? They're still waiting for us to have New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lu Bu curled his lips and smiled, "It's just taking a shower, what do you think I want to do?"

Zhang Mo blushed and got off him. "Then go wash up quickly. I'll get you some clean clothes."

Lu Bu wanted to tease her, but since he hadn't changed his clothes for several days and they already had a strange smell, he had to give up. He quickly stripped off all his clothes, stepped into the bathtub, and started to wash himself.

Zhang Mo took out some clothes, moved a stool and sat next to the bathtub, untied his bun, and helped him comb his hair.

Her soft fingertips gently massaged his scalp, and Lu Bu's body completely relaxed. He couldn't help but think of the scene when she tied his hair for the first time in the woods outside Jinyang City that year. He would never forget that tingling and numb feeling like a feather. As he thought about it, his lower abdomen gradually felt hot. He was a carefree person and he hadn't been intimate with his wife for a long time. When the feeling came, he didn't care about anything else. He stood up and pulled his wife into the bathtub.

"you……"

She didn't react before his red lips were blocked. Then a big warm hand grabbed her hips and pressed her body tightly against him.

Just one kiss, and all her rationality collapsed in an instant. He missed her, and she missed him too...

The clothes were peeled off piece by piece, and the water in the tub splashed everywhere. After an unknown amount of time, both of them sighed contentedly. Zhang Mo's rationality also returned, and her face flushed with shame. "There are guests outside. How can I go out and see them?"

The water had already cooled. Lu Bu stood up, wrapped her in a towel, and carried her to the couch beside him. He said nonchalantly, "It just took a little longer to bathe. What's the big deal? Besides, we are a proper couple!"

After wiping the water off her body, Lu Bu went to the inner room to get her some dry clothes to wear. He also dressed himself and took his wife's hand to the front hall to eat.

When everyone saw Zhang Mo changed her clothes, those with pure minds thought that she was wet, while those with impure minds knew that the couple had not seen each other for a long time, and they must be burning with passion.

After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, the Xu family mother and son returned to their own yard, Xu Chu also took his wife and daughter home, Meixiang took her son back to her own room, leaving only Lu Bu's family of five and his nephew Wang Hei to keep watch together.

The three children were very happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with their parents this year. They surrounded Lu Bu and asked him about the war in Liang Province. Wang Hei was a little afraid of Lu Bu and did not dare to go close to him. He just sat quietly beside Zhang Mo and listened.

Snowflakes are falling outside, and the joy inside the house is as warm as the spring breeze!
