Chapter 33 Life-Saving Rules
"No--"
Xu Chu yelled and stretched out his hand to stop, but saw something flying in front of his eyes. He heard a clang and the knife fell to the ground. He quickly looked and saw that there was only a shallow scratch on Amo's face.
Lu Bu looked at the wound on Zhang Mo's cheek with complicated eyes. If he hadn't struck quickly just now, the little lady's face would have been ruined.
Zhang Liao's face was filled with astonishment, "Young lady, are you crazy? Why do you want to ruin your appearance all of a sudden?"
"Daughter, why are you doing this?" Wang Yun was startled by Zhang Mo and scolded her sternly.
"Father, I'm afraid. Anren is all implicated by me. This face is a disaster. Maybe one day it will bring trouble to my adoptive father and brother. How about letting it be ruined." Her voice trembled slightly.
If you are disfigured, you may be able to escape the fate of becoming Diao Chan or entering the palace as a concubine.
Hearing that she was afraid of bringing trouble to herself, Wang Yun softened his expression and comforted: "This is not your fault. An Ren came here to repay his kindness. If you ruin his appearance, he should blame himself when he wakes up. Don't be afraid. Wait.
Everything will be fine when we return to Jinyang, but you still don’t know that our family in Jinyang is a member of the gentry clan, and even the prefect must be courteous and promise his father not to hurt himself again."
Lu Bu came over, bent down to pick up the broken jade, glanced at Zhang Mo, and said in a cold voice with a hint of contempt: "Only a coward would think that a face is a disaster!"
Seeing how she could remain calm and collected when being bullied by thieves, I thought she was a tough-minded person, but I didn't expect that she was also a cowardly little woman.
Cowardly? Zhang Mo looked at him blankly. In the past, she was bullied by gangsters in Yangdi. She did not dare to resist because she was unable to resist. Later, Xu Fu helped her resist, but what she got in exchange was jail time.
Even if Xu Fu didn't kill the gangsters, they would continue to be harassed as long as they lived in Yangdi, so she could only choose to be cowardly and compromise.
I thought that by following Wang Yun, I thought that by gathering a few people with strong martial arts skills, I could bully others. But in the end, I was still bullied by others. Yesterday I was a eunuch, today I am a group of bandits, and tomorrow there will be Dong Zhuo, and there are so many more
of warlord.
She promised to stop Dong Zhuo from gaining power, but how to stop it? She had never thought or planned it carefully.
Her little cleverness can't even protect herself. How can she fight against a eunuch who has been immersed in officialdom and has been in the harem for many years, or against the Xiliang cavalry who dominates the world?
What are the rules for preserving life in troubled times?
Status? As high as the Young Emperor, Queen Mother He died at the hands of Dong Zhuo in the end!
Power? General He Jin had enough power, but he was killed by a group of eunuchs!
Money? All the wealthy gentry in Pengcheng were thrown into Surabaya by Cao Cao and drowned!
Reputation? Give in, Cai Yong is famous enough, but someone still dares to knock them out!
Without a strong enough fist, even if you get these things, you will still lose them in the end.
Thinking of this, Zhang Mo suddenly understood that if she wanted to gain the right to speak in troubled times, she first needed to form an armed force, an army more powerful than Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army!
To train such soldiers and horses, Xu Chu and Guan Hai obviously couldn't do it.
Xu Chu only knew how to fight with brute force and knew nothing about military training. Although Guan Hai had served as a Yellow Turban general, the people he led could only be regarded as a mob.
Zhang Mo raised his eyes and looked at Lu Bu. Historically, although this man's character was not very good, his military force and combat ability were undisputed.
When he was in Bingzhou, his Bingzhou wolf cavalry killed the Xiongnu in fear; when he and Yuan Shao were fighting in Heishan, he often dared to break into Zhang Yan's army formation with more than a dozen cavalry, just like visiting his own home, freely going back and forth among thousands of troops.
Judging from his behavior at this time, he still has a sense of justice. If he abducts people...
When Lu Bu saw Zhang Mo staring at him with a burning gaze, he suddenly felt like he was being taken care of. Could it be that the young lady has fallen in love with him?
Although the young lady particularly caught his eye, she was just too young, which was a pity.
At this time, Wang Yun came over and bowed to Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, "Thanks to you two for saving me today, I am very grateful. I wonder what the names of these two heroes are?"
Lu Bu put aside this strange feeling, looked away from Zhang Mo's face, and waved his hand indifferently, "A humble name is not worth mentioning. It's just a little effort, I don't have to be polite."
Wang Yun sincerely invited, "This place is not far from Jinyang. You two will follow us into the city. I will treat you well and express my gratitude."
"No need, I have something else to do, so let's just say goodbye."
Lu Bu said lightly, then looked at Zhang Mo, "My dear lady, don't forget to send me your reward after this!"
Zhang Mo:???
Wei Xu came over and said, "You said you would pay back ten times, and the golden sore medicine is twenty bottles of corn..."
He counted on his fingers, "You only ate two bowls of rice last night and this morning. It wouldn't look good if you eat less. Just one stone, and..."
He pointed to Lu Bu's clothes on Zhang Mo and said, "Ten robes will be made according to this size."
Then he took the broken jade in Lu Bu's hand and said, "This is the engagement token for my sister and brother-in-law. Now it's been smashed because of your face. How do you think you can accompany it?"
Zhang Mo was dumbfounded. Everything else was easy to explain, but this betrothal token was of great significance. Where could she get the same one? Even if she got the same one, the meaning would be different.
"This..." She looked at Lu Bu, "How about I take it back and find someone to inlay it in gold?"
Lu Bu stared blankly at the jade broken into two parts, and his wife's appearance appeared in his mind. Nearly a year later, it was already a little blurry.
He and his wife had only been married for half a year, and they only stayed together for half a month before returning to the military camp. When he learned that she was pregnant, he only went back and took a look before leaving again. In his mind, his wife only did housework, served his parents-in-law, and carried on the family line.
He no longer had the jade with him, but yesterday he dug it out when he was helping Amo get clothes. He sighed and stuffed it into his arms, but he didn't expect it to be smashed today.
What's the use of connecting it? The person is already dead, so keeping it will only add to the sadness.
"No need!" He glanced at Wei Xu, "You can stay if you want."
"Oh!" Wei Xu replied unhappily and put the jade in his arms.
Zhang Mo looked at the two of them carefully, "What do you two still need? I will send it to you another day."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Xu felt unhappy and hummed, "I still need two warm beds, will you give them to me?"
Zhang Mo: "..."
She hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wang Yun and others not far away, and lowered her voice and said, "This...I'll try my best."
The benefactor’s demands are as high as the sky, no matter how difficult it is, you must try your best to help them achieve it!
Wei Xu originally meant the words as a joke, but when he heard that she actually agreed, he was stunned and said to himself, "A little girl who can kill a thief is definitely not a normal person!"
Lu Bu twitched the corner of his mouth, gave Zhang Mo a meaningful look, got on his horse, and walked slowly into the forest.
…………
In the forest, Lu Bu and Zhang Liao were walking side by side. Zhang Liao said in high spirits: "Brother, the old man just said that the prefect of Jinyang must be courteous to him. You said, if you go and ask him, he can help you deal with your matter."
, is it feasible?”
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "The old man has a good family background. Judging from his appearance, he is a man who abides by the rules. If he knew that I was a fugitive, I'm afraid he would be the first to arrest me."
"No way? The young lady knelt down to beg for a guard. It can be seen that she is a compassionate and righteous person. The family should be good too?"
Lu Bu chuckled, "Didn't you hear the little girl call the old man a foster father? Those wealthy people love to raise singers and singers. The girl is young, but her face is already very beautiful! In my opinion, she is just a tool raised by the old man.
, I don’t know which dignitary I will be given as my concubine in the future.”
Having said this, he felt uncomfortable again, but it wasn't the same dull pain as before, but it was just very unpleasant.
Wei Xu said from behind, "Why bother asking for help? There is no news about Zizheng. Let's go to You Fufeng to find him and surrender to Dong Zhuo."
Zhang Liao said, "Before I came to find you, I had inquired clearly. Dong Zhuo had failed in his campaign against thieves in Jizhou. He was dismissed as a court official and tried, but was later pardoned. A few months ago, there was another rebellion in Liangzhou. Your Majesty worshiped him as the central commander a few days ago.
General Lang is going to quell the rebellion with General Huangfu. This man is quite chivalrous and likes to make friends with warriors. His brother is brave and good at fighting, so joining him might be a good way out."
Lu Bu said, "This is not urgent, just wait!"
The Yang family has not solved the problem yet, and Dong Zhuo cannot protect him at this time. His plan is that if the Yang family's problem cannot be solved, he will wait until Dong Zhuo marches into Luoyang before taking refuge, and then he will make military exploits at Hulao Pass.
, it can still be taken seriously.
