Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms to sleep. Lu Bu returned to his room, took out a wooden box hidden on the couch and came to Zhang Mo's room. He knocked on the door gently and waited for a few breaths. There was no movement from inside, but he heard voices coming from the kitchen downstairs.

"Madam, what are you doing so late?" It was Meixiang's voice.

"He's going on a long trip tomorrow, so make him some food and bring it with you..."

Lu Bu felt a warm feeling in his heart. He turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen. He saw Zhang Mo wearing an apron and standing by the stove kneading dough. Her fair and delicate face was silhouetted in the dim firelight, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

He walked in, raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and took the dough from her hand, "Let me help you."

As he said this, he rolled up his sleeves and started kneading the dough like she had just done.

"We have to travel tomorrow, so go to bed early." Her voice was cold and her tone was not very good, but he could hear the deep concern and reluctance in her words.

Lu Bu said to Mei Xiang, "You go back first."

Meixiang giggled and ran out, not forgetting to close the kitchen door.

"Open it, it's going to be so hot!" Zhang Mo shouted.

She walked over and opened the door again, then sat down under the stove to light the fire. Seeing that Lu Bu's dough was almost done, she took it and said, "Go and watch the fire, keep it low."

She rolled the dough into long strips, cut it into small pieces with a knife, flattened it, spread a thin layer of meat filling on it, folded it in half, and fried it on the edge of the pan.

"It's hot, so I only make the meat-filled ones for one day. The others are white flour cakes, which should be good for three or four days."

"Amo, thank you!" Lu Bu looked at her steadily, his cold eyes filled with lingering tenderness.

Zhang Mo glanced at him and lowered her head to make pancakes. "Why thank me? It's just an employment relationship. Although you have helped me a lot, I have also fulfilled my promise to you. We are even. It's just a few pancakes. There is nothing to thank me for."

"What's even?"

Lu Bu suddenly stood up, took two steps over and hugged her in his arms, saying in a low voice, "There's no settlement between us, just wait for me obediently."

Zhang Mo stiffly let him hold her. After a long silence, she said, "What if I become your enemy in the future?"

Lu Bu was stunned. "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Mo hesitated, wondering whether she should tell him that she wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, and whether he would stay to help.

She opened her mouth but swallowed it back. Although Lü Bu liked her, he was more eager to achieve great things. How could he give up his dream because of an assassination that made no sense? It was ridiculous that she had spent so much time writing so many stories of loyalty for him, but in the end, the one he wanted to be loyal to was Dong Zhuo.

"Lü Bu, when you go to Dong Zhuo, you must be careful to curb your arrogance. You must learn to be patient and conceal your weaknesses. You can excel in martial arts, but don't show your true intentions too much. Showing too much will not only make Dong Zhuo wary and wary of you, but others will also become jealous and frame you. You must be kind to your own people, learn to win their hearts, and think twice before you act. Don't be impulsive, don't get angry easily, and don't act on impulse. Don't judge people by appearances. Know that people's hearts are hidden. Learn to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and don't lose yourself in small favors..."

"Also, if you get injured, remember to clean the wound with the saline solution I taught you to mix. Don't cover the wound, and don't drink raw water..."

Listening to her nagging, Lu Bu felt more and more reluctant to let her go, and the strength he held on her tightened.

"I know. My A-Mo is so smart. How could I be so stupid? Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me. Wait for me to come back."

"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Zhang Mo responded softly and reached out to hug him back.

Since we can't keep him, we might as well let him go and let him go. With his ability, he should be able to become Dong Zhuo's confidant and control the Xiliang army.

Perhaps this Lu Bu could create a different history. Perhaps she could try to rely on him and not have to work so hard to plan the assassination.

The candlelight flickered, and the shadows of the two people hugging each other were reflected on the wall, with deep and long affection. Lu Bu lowered his head, staring at her small nose and rosy lips with burning eyes. When he was about to kiss her, there was a crackling sound suddenly coming from the pot.

"It's over, the cake is burnt."

Zhang Mo started out of Lu Bu's arms and reached out to make a pancake in the pot.

"Hiss~ hot hot hot~"

She threw a black pancake to the ground. Lu Bu grabbed her hand and saw that her white fingers were burned red. He opened his mouth and put the fingers into his mouth.

Uh… Zhang Mo’s cheeks flushed instantly. She quickly pulled her hand back and shook it off, then turned back to continue rolling out the dough. “The pancakes aren’t finished yet…”

Seeing her shy little look, Lu Bu's heart softened. He wanted to kiss her but he held back and went back to the stove to continue watching the fire.

After all the pancakes were baked, Lu Bu put out the fire in the stove, took out a very small crossbow from the box, and pulled Zhang Mo to sit on his lap.

"what is this?"

Zhang Mo looked at the thing tied to her forearm. It was about three inches long and as wide as her arm. It contained seven arrows as thick as pen cores. The arrowheads were made of fine iron and the arrow bodies were made of smooth elm wood.

"Hidden Arrow!"

After tying the sleeve arrow, Lu Bu lifted her arm, aimed it at a piece of bacon hanging on the beam, and gently pressed the trigger. With a whoosh, the arrow pierced through the bacon and was nailed into the beam.

Lü Bu said, "I originally wanted to forge the arrows out of fine iron. While that would be more lethal, it would also be heavier, and I was afraid you'd find it too heavy. So, I found this catalpa wood. It's lightweight and tough, more than enough for self-defense. The sleeve arrows can penetrate armor within a range of five meters. If you practice your aim, you should have no problem killing four or five enemies in a row before they get close."

"This is for self-defense. Do you like it?" Lu Bu leaned over, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

The man's warm breath blew against her ears, and the tip of her nose was filled with the smell of hormones. Zhang Mo's face flushed again, and she stood up a little uncomfortably and said, "I like it, I like it. When did you do it?"

"I just finished it a few days ago. I wanted to give you a surprise, but Wenyuan showed up unexpectedly."

He pulled her back into his arms and hugged her gently, "Let me hug you again..."

Leaning in his arms, Zhang Mo hugged his waist with both hands, put her face on his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, and her tense body slowly relaxed.

There was a faint fragrance on the tip of his nose, and her waist was so soft that it could be held in one hand. Through the thin summer clothes, he seemed to be able to feel her heartbeat leaning on him. Lu Bu's throat rolled and his breathing became a little rapid.

He quickly pulled her up and said, "My A-Mo has grown up. I can't hold her anymore. If I hold her any longer, I won't be able to control myself."

Zhang Mo sweatdropped, pulled out of his embrace, and rolled her eyes at him fiercely, "You hooligan!"

She collected the cooled pancakes with a clean cloth, put them into a nearby army green backpack, and stuffed them into Lu Bu's arms. "Take it away, go to sleep!"

She pretended to yawn, walked out of the kitchen and came to the well, washing her hands while saying, "I've asked Meixiang to prepare things for the journey. I won't see you off tomorrow. I want to have a good sleep. When you get there, send me a message if you have the conditions."

Lu Bu stood at the kitchen door, watched her go upstairs and into the house, then turned around and went to Zhang Liao's room with her bag.

Zhang Liao had already gone to bed. Seeing Lu Bu, he asked curiously, "Are you still awake so late?"

"I have something to ask of you."

Zhang Liao let the man into the house and said, "You and I are brothers. There is no need to be polite. Just tell me what you want."

Lu Bu placed his bag on the table and saluted Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao was startled by his gesture and stepped forward to hold his hand. "What are you doing?"

Lu Bu said, "Since we met outside Yanmen, Wenyuan has helped me so much, but I have nothing to thank him for. Now that he has entrusted me with something, I feel really bad."

Zhang Liao's face darkened. "You don't consider me a brother if you say that. Besides, I've received your guidance several times, and my martial arts have greatly improved. I should be the one thanking you. If you have anything to say, just ask. Why be so shy?"

Lu Bu patted Zhang Liao's shoulder with emotion and said, "It is an honor for me to be brothers with Wenyuan. In this case, I will not be polite."

He pulled Zhang Liao to sit on the couch and said slowly, "First, I hope Wenyuan can help me look after Amo in Bingzhou. The Xiongnu may launch a large-scale invasion by the end of next year, and I'm worried that something might happen to her farm."

When Zhang Liao heard Wei Xu say that Lu Bu had met an immortal, he didn't believe it at first. Later, after witnessing Lu Bu's extraordinary power, he had to believe it. Now, when he heard Lu Bu talk about what would happen next year, he didn't find it strange.

However, with his status as a minor official, he could deal with one or two groups of bandits, but he was afraid that he would not be able to deal with a large group of Hu people.

Lü Bu saw his dilemma and continued, "That's the second thing. If the immortal's instructions are correct, the current Bingzhou Governor, Zhang Yi, will likely be killed in the battle against the Hu people. A man named Ding Yuan will then take over as Governor of Bingzhou. You should go and join Envoy Zhang now. With Wenyuan's abilities, he will surely value you. Find a way to take control of the Bingzhou cavalry that Envoy Zhang has assembled. This cavalry won't be very effective under Envoy Zhang's command. Only with Wenyuan leading it can we drive out the bandits and protect Bingzhou."

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said, "I will listen to you, brother."

Lu Bu was silent for a moment before continuing, "Ding Yuan may possess some strategy, but he is short-sighted and driven by personal gain. If Your Majesty passes away, he might lead his troops into the capital. The capital is a land of scholars, and even more coveted by wolves and tigers from all sides. You should offer your advice and persuasion. If you can get him to stay in Bingzhou, that would be great. If he refuses, let him go. Just remember, when troubled times come, having troops is the only way to rule."

According to his understanding of Dong Zhuo in the dream, he must be going to annex Ding Yuan's troops. Even if he is not there, someone else will. Ding Yuan cannot defeat Dong Zhuo. He has decided to surrender to Dong Zhuo and does not care about Ding Yuan's life or death. As long as Wen Yuan can continue to control the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, at least his retreat will be guaranteed. This is why he insisted on looking for Wen Yuan in Yanmen before.

The Bingzhou cavalry must not fall into the hands of the Xiliang generals, and the only one who can lead this army is Wen Yuan.

Zhang Liao agreed to all of his requests, and the two of them talked until midnight before going to bed.

The next morning, outside the earth building, Lu Bu sat astride a dark horse and looked towards the gate of Beidou Building. Xu Chu, Guan Hai, Du Fei, Xu Ding, and even Meixiang and Juxiang were all waving goodbye to him, but she was the only one missing.

"Brother-in-law, it's getting late!" Wei Xu looked up at the rising sun in the sky and reminded him.

After taking a last look at Beidou Tower, Lu Bu concealed the slight disappointment in his eyes, turned his horse around and galloped away.

What he didn't know was that on the roof of Qiming Building, there was a pair of eyes following him until his figure completely disappeared from sight.
