Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

If it were in the Qin State after Shang Yang's reforms, under the strict laws, Zhang Mo would be 100% sure that he could shave the heads of these three ruffians and send them to build the city wall.

But now it is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the emperor is willing to sell official positions for money. Don't expect the people below to be honest and upright. Without paying some money, no one will stand up for her, an orphan with no power, no influence and no one to rely on.

Coincidentally, several officials came to the restaurant for dinner the next day. Zhang Mo greeted them well and they promised to help her arrest the officials.

In the evening, when Zhang Mo was stepped on by the thug again, she realized that the thug had not lied to her and that the man really had someone above him.

Those policemen were in cahoots with the thugs. It was ridiculous that she actually let their accomplices come to arrest people.

A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake; she was nothing more than a vegetable worm at best! If it weren't for the local thugs' long-term considerations, no one would have cared if she had been hacked to death and her body had been dumped.

My left cheek burned with pain; I didn't even need to look in the mirror to see the distinct fingerprints. My knee, bruised yesterday, had been kicked again today; I had no idea if the bone was broken. The back of my hand was covered in blood.

Fighting back the tears that threatened to burst out, Zhang Mo gritted her teeth and stood up, holding onto the wall as she limped forward. The road ahead was blurry, and she could still follow her instincts. But what about the road ahead? How would she navigate it?

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the Xu family's yard. Xu Fu was playing with a stick with his bare chest in the open space. Grandma Xu was sitting in the corridor, clapping her hands and laughing in praise. Aunt Xu was complaining about her son not studying well, but there was a smile in her eyes. Uncle Xu was drinking tea, pointing fingers at Xu Fu from time to time, saying that he was not practicing this well and that move was wrong.

This scene touched the most fragile nerve in her heart, and coupled with the pain in her body, Zhang Mo could no longer bear it. She squatted outside the door, covering her face and crying silently.

She has tried very hard, but it is really too difficult to survive in such a world.

To be an ordinary person, one must endure the oppression of the strong. If one wants to curry favor with the powerful, but happens to be a girl, the final result will be to become a concubine.

Thinking of the man's dirty hands touching her face and body, Zhang Mo couldn't help but vomit while holding the door frame.

In a month and a half, her face changed like a judge's head. Her cheeks became fuller, her skin became whiter and smoother day by day, and her big eyes, which originally looked scary, were now clearly black and white and moist and lovely.

Although her facial features have not yet fully developed, it can be seen that this body is a real beauty. If the thugs knew that she was a girl, who knows what would happen?

"It's so late, why hasn't A-Mo come back yet? I'll go out and look for her."

In the yard, Xu Fu put down the wooden stick and looked at the slightly opened gate with some concern.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang Mo hurriedly wiped away her tears, pushed open the gate, and said with a smile: "I'm back!"

Enduring the pain in his legs, he walked back to his room and casually explained, "I talked a little too much today and was delayed for a while. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to bed first!"

Seeing her strange walking posture, Xu Fu asked, "Are you okay? Did you fall because you couldn't see the road clearly?"

Zhang Mo paused, without looking back, "I just fell accidentally, it's nothing serious."

Aunt Xu said, "Mother made you some mung bean soup to cool you down. Drink it before you go to bed?"

These two simple sentences made Zhang Mo's throat choke again.

"No, no thanks. I've already eaten in the building."

"Amo, what's wrong with you?"

Noticing her abnormality, Xu Fu took two or three steps forward. Under the moonlight, the five finger marks on her face were faintly visible, and there was a little blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Who hit you?" Anger suddenly burned in the boy's eyes.

Zhang Mo covered her cheeks and said, "It's just one guest in the building. It's okay. The owner has already taken care of it."

"Guest? Why did you get hit?" Aunt Xu came over and pulled Zhang Mo's hand away. "Let me see if it was severe."

Zhang Mo took off her hands that were covering her face and her tears began to fall uncontrollably.

"How could he be so cruel?" Aunt Xu exclaimed.

Uncle Xu and Grandma Xu came over. Grandma Xu hugged Zhang Mo with a broken heart, "Who the hell would be so cruel to a child?"

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt anymore. The boss has compensated me and apologized. It's really okay now." Zhang Mo whispered.

Aunt Xu went to the kitchen and said to Xu Fu, "I'll go get some well water to chill it. The swelling will go down tomorrow. Fu'er, take Amo back to the house first."

When the lights were turned on in the room, Zhang Mo's dirty and wrinkled clothes could no longer hide her face. The blood and black mud on the back of her hands made her look very scary.

Xu Fu's face turned pale. When he lifted up his robe and saw his pants stuck to his knees with blood, the young man clenched his fists so hard that they made a creaking sound.

"A city thug, isn't he?"

Xu Fu asked with gritted teeth. He should have thought of it earlier. That group of people had been doing evil in Yangdi for more than a day or two.

Zhang Mo nodded with tears in her eyes.

"I'll go find them!" Xu Fu stood up and was about to go out.

"Wait!" Zhang Mo stopped him. "There are three of them, and they have the police backing them up. We can't defeat them."

Xu Fu turned back and asked, "So you kept it a secret from me and planned to let them bully you forever?"

"I don't want to implicate you. At worst, I won't go to the restaurant..."

Xu Fu was both angry and amused. "Father and Mother have long treated you as their daughter. How can you implicate your own family? Go to the restaurant as usual tomorrow. I'll pick you up in the evening."

"Brother Afu, there's really no need. I won't go..."

If he was just a simple thug, there would be no problem if we fought back, but he has connections above him.

"Just go if I tell you to. Even if you don't go tomorrow, I'm going to settle accounts with those scoundrels. What's wrong with the police? They're just cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. Give them a beating and they'll behave themselves."

"Can you really beat me?" Zhang Mo looked at him suspiciously. This was assaulting a police officer! Who knew what the crime of assaulting a police officer was in ancient times?

"It couldn't be more true. Don't worry, I'll get your money back for you."

Hearing Xu Fu's confident words, Zhang Mo was filled with hatred and evil. Money was secondary. She mainly wanted to beat the guy up, preferably so hard that he couldn't get out of bed.

But she didn't know that there's an old saying: people shouldn't fight officials. Beating someone up might be fun, but it'll cause a lot of trouble later!

"Ah...killing is fun, but escaping is miserable!"

On the outskirts of Mayi City in Yanmen County, Wei Xu howled as he gnawed on the bland barbecue.

That day, I was only concerned with revenge and didn't take any money with me. All the things in my house were looted by the barbarians, and the little money I had with me was spent in recent days.

The two men had no skills other than fighting and killing. As fugitives, they could only survive by hunting wild animals. Since they could not enter the city to buy salt, they could only exchange some other things if they met a caravan occasionally. Otherwise, they could only eat barbecue every day. Their life was really miserable.

"Brother-in-law, what are we going to do from now on? Are we going to continue like this? Be an official or a thief? You decide!"

Lu Bu was silent. He had been thinking about this problem these days. Judging from his dream, His Majesty would pass away in a few years. Ever since Dong Zhuo marched into Luoyang and the princes from Guandong fought against Dong, the world fell into chaos. The princes divided their own territories and the imperial court existed in name only.

Judging from the situation, it would be best to surrender to Dong Zhuo. Although Ding Yuan treated him kindly, he was always wary of him. If he had not taken away his military power and made him a useless chief clerk, he would not have betrayed his master.

Although Dong Zhuo always treated him as his personal guard, he gave him an official title and various rewards, and even returned the Bingzhou cavalry that he had taken from Ding Yuan to him.

If she hadn't molested Dong Zhuo's concubine, he wouldn't have felt alienated.

The most important thing is that Dong Zhuo's son died early, and he only had two daughters, so it can be said that he had no successor.

These days he often thought, if the self in his dream had not been bewitched by Wang Yun and had not killed Dong Zhuo, but had slowly eliminated Dong Zhuo's confidants, such as Niu Fu, Hu Zhen, Li Que, etc., after Dong Zhuo's death, he would have taken control of the Western Liang Army, sat in Chang'an, used the emperor to command the princes, and then eliminated Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other people who wanted to establish themselves as emperors one by one. In this way, he would be the greatest meritorious official of the Han Dynasty and could be crowned king.

But Lu Bu was not sure whether this dream was true, because in the dream his wife and children were alive and well, and he had never been a wanted criminal.

Seeing that Lu Bu remained silent, Wei Xu pressed on, "Brother-in-law, have you made up your mind?"

Lü Bu poked the fire with a branch and said, "I'll wait a little longer. I need to find someone in Mayi."

"Who?"

"Even if I tell you, you wouldn't recognize him! I'm not sure if he really exists, but since I have nothing else to do, I'll give him a try."

Having said that, he suddenly felt a pain in his chest and frowned. This damn immortal is here again.

"Damn it, get out, get out!" Lu Bu threw the branch in his hand and roared.

He, Lu Fengxian, was already the best in the world, so it didn't matter whether he had that so-called power increase or not. But from time to time, he would get hit in the chest. Although it didn't hurt much, it made him very annoyed. He hated that the immortal lived in his body, and he couldn't see or catch him, which was really depressing.

"Who?" Wei Xu grabbed the spear beside him and looked around nervously. The forest was quiet, and there was no one there?!

After a while, he suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Lu Bu excitedly, "Brother-in-law, is the immortal here again? Can I ask her to give me some kind of upgrade?"

Lu Bu was annoyed. "What the hell? She hasn't spoken since that day. She just makes my chest ache from time to time. This damn immortal is so annoying. If I can catch her, I will beat her to a pulp."

Wei Xu hurriedly said, "No, if you catch me, give it to me. If I can become as powerful as my brother-in-law, a little chest pain is nothing. I'd even be willing to get stabbed."

Lu Bu was too lazy to pay attention to him. He finished the remaining few bites of barbecue. Seeing that it was getting late, he went into the shack and lay down in his clothes.

Wei Xu shoveled some dirt to put out the fire, and then he was about to go inside when he suddenly stopped and said, "Brother-in-law, it seems like someone is calling for help."
