Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Zhang Fei came specifically to chat with Lu Bu and his wife, simply to ask Zhang Mo to give Liu Bei a foothold. His request was not high, a county was enough. However, for Zhang Mo, who had an obsession with unification, the territory of this county was like digging out a piece of flesh from her heart.

Hearing her unhesitating rejection of his request, Zhang Fei was extremely puzzled. "You already own almost the entire Han Dynasty. Why won't you even give my brother this little piece of land? If he hadn't given up the fight for Hanzhong, things over there wouldn't have been easy, and Cao Cao wouldn't have been captured so quickly. You can't be so heartless."

"This isn't a question of conscience..." Zhang Mo looked at him helplessly, "It's like a jigsaw puzzle. Even if it has thousands of pieces, if one small piece is missing, it's incomplete, and the whole picture can't be put together..."

"What puzzle?"

"It's the map. I want a complete Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Mo said bluntly, "I won't allow anyone to carve up our territory, not even a county or a township. This is non-negotiable!"

Zhang Fei was furious. "How could you be so stingy and heartless? Are you satisfied only if you force my brother to death?"

"Zhang Yide, don't go too far!" Lü Bu shouted angrily. "He gave up the fight for Hanzhong because he didn't dare to fight for it. Don't act like Hanzhong was a gift. Even if he had attacked Dingjun Mountain at that time, Amo would not have lost, and I would have defeated Cao Mengde just the same. Besides, you don't know Liu Da'er at all. Do you think giving him a county would satisfy him?"

"What he wanted was to restore the Han Dynasty and the entire empire. Otherwise, he should have surrendered in Hanzhong that day instead of running off to Jingzhou. You know what he wanted to do in Jingzhou, but he didn't expect Liu Jingsheng to send him to Lingnan. You think he's pitiful now, but I think he deserves it. He's greedy and insatiable."

Lu Bu softened his tone, "Ever since Li Ru followed him, he's no longer the pure and righteous Liu Da'er!"

Zhang Fei was speechless after being confronted by him. He had no way to refute it. He was stunned for a moment and said angrily to himself, "When I find my big brother, I will kill that villain Li Ru. I will also persuade my big brother to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Please give him a little more time!"

"If he is willing to live like Yuan Benchu, a carefree wanderer, unconcerned with worldly affairs, I will certainly welcome him!" Lü Bu added, fearing Zhang Fei would not understand what he meant. "But if he still has feelings for the Han Dynasty and wants to become an official or a general as a condition for his surrender, I cannot agree to that!"

"I know that your fear of his surrender is fake, and you actually want to do something secretly!"

Zhang Mo sighed, "This world can no longer withstand the turmoil of war, and I don't have the energy to constantly guard against someone who might restore the Han Dynasty. Retiring is his best outcome. If he wants his son to enter the government, I can train him like I trained Yuan Shang!"

Having said that, what else could Zhang Fei say? He just cupped his hands and said, "I'll do my best to persuade him. Now, I'll take my leave!"

"The journey to Lingnan is long. Third brother, please stay for another day. I'll have someone prepare some food and money for you on the road!"

Zhang Fei said, "Prepare two more fast horses for me!"

"It's natural!"

He turned to leave, but after taking two steps, he heard Zhang Mo say from behind, "If he doesn't want to surrender, I can show him a way!"

Zhang Fei turned around and asked, "Do you mean to send him to attack the foreign tribes south of Jiaozhou?"

Zhang Mo nodded. "If he's willing, I'll provide him with some technical and financial support. These are the only two options. If he doesn't want either, then... I'll just have to fight him!"

"I'll persuade him to choose one!"

Watching Zhang Fei's figure gradually disappear outside the gate, Zhang Mo leaned lazily against Lu Bu and breathed a long sigh, "The battle for this world is finally over!"

The afterglow of the setting sun shone into the hall. Lu Bu held her in his arms and sighed, "Yes, it's almost over! Where are we going next?"

"Let's go to Runan County!"

"What about the next stop?"

"Of course it's Jingzhou!"

"What's the next stop?"

"Lead the Jingzhou navy and Xingba to travel around Dongwu!"

"and then?"

"You should be crowned emperor!"

"What happens next?"

"What do you think?" She looked up at him and smiled.

Lu Bu pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Leave the world to our son, and let's go travel around."

"Jiangdong will be resolved in a year at most. By then, my son will only be thirteen. Are you worried? Aren't you afraid that he will ruin the kingdom we worked so hard to build?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Qian'er is as smart as you, how can he be like a prodigal son?"

"No matter how smart you are, you are still just a teenager. You have too little life experience and are easily deceived by greedy words!"

"Then Madam, please bear with me for a few more years. When he reaches the age of twenty, we can give up the responsibility!"

"When he's twenty, he should be married and have children. We'll have to take care of his children, and at least train a crown prince for the next generation..."

"Then when can we really have some free time?"

"After conquering the empire and having children, how can I have any leisure time? Before the child was born, I thought I'd be relaxed after the birth. During the confinement period, I thought I'd be comfortable after leaving. After the confinement period, I thought I'd have some free time when the child went to kindergarten. Then there's endless homework to help with, middle school, college, job hunting, marriage, and raising grandchildren... Ordinary people can't even truly have a leisurely life, let alone us? People, people, all the people in the world are my children. Cultivating another generation of wise rulers can at least allow the people of the world to live a stable life for a few more decades..."

"After taking care of your grandson, do you want to take care of your great-grandson?"

Zhang Mo laughed, "Can I live that long?"

Lu Bu held her hand and placed it on his heart. "If I pass away first in the future, this system might be able to return to you. I remember when I installed it, it seemed to have a healing function. It should be able to help you regain your youth!"

Zhang Mo laughed and said, "Wouldn't I become a thousand-year-old immortal monster?"

Leaning against him, she gazed at the setting sun in the west. "If I could really come back, I'd redeem all the points for our son and then go find you. Don't walk too fast on the road to the underworld!"

"I don't know if there is a Yellow Spring Road in this world. If that day really comes, I still hope you can live well!"

"Without you, what's the point of such a long life?"

"Okay... find someone else to accompany you!"

Zhang Mo rolled her eyes. "No matter how young my body is, my soul is already that of an old woman. You want me to marry a little brat?"

"What if you died and returned to the modern era? If you weren't found, I wouldn't be able to continue accompanying my son and daughter. What a shame!"

Zhang Mo hesitated a little. This was really possible. There was another function in the system. If she could change the fate of a dynasty, she could return to the modern era!

"Tell me, if you go back to the modern era, will the history you see be the same as before or has it changed?" asked Lu Bu.

"This... I don't know..." She looked confused. "Or maybe, all this was just a dream. After waking up, I was still sitting in the school library..."

"If that's the case, I hope you'll forget everything in your dream when you wake up!"

Her eyes suddenly became covered with tears, and her arms around his waist tightened even more. "I would rather spend my whole life missing you than forget you!"
