Ignoring the corpses on the ground, Lu Bu walked straight to the carriage.
He thought that the beauty in the car would immediately jump out and cry, wanting to marry him. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement. He tried calling her name, but there was no response.
Lu Bu was a little angry, thinking,"I've fought for you for half a day, but you don't even say thank you. Can't you come out and meet me?" Hmph, then don't blame me for using force.
After thinking about it, he went forward and pushed open the car door. When he looked inside, he was immediately shocked.
In the corner of the carriage, a young girl was curled up. Her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief. Her face was already covered in tears. When he saw someone open the car door, he immediately retreated to the back of the car.
This time, Lu Bu was confused. Why did the guards tie up his own Miss in the carriage?
Putting on what he thought was a bright smile, Lu Bu helped her untie the rope and pulled out the handkerchief from her mouth.
After regaining her freedom, the girl immediately burst into tears. After a while, it gradually stopped, and it would twitch from time to time.
"Miss, can you tell me what happened?”Seeing that she was no longer crying, Lu Bu handed her a handkerchief and asked softly.
The girl took the handkerchief and was about to wipe her tears when she suddenly remembered that the handkerchief was still in her mouth. She quickly put it down. She raised her head and looked at Lu Bu, then lowered her head and said,""I, I was kidnapped by them. Who knew that I would encounter Yellow Turban bandits on the way. I have to thank you for saving me. Otherwise, I really don't dare to imagine what would have happened.”
"Alright, it's fine now. Don't worry, miss. Why did they kidnap you?" Seeing that she was about to cry again, Lu Bu quickly comforted her. He was not good at comforting people, especially girls, so he could only help her change the topic.
"That group of people are General Yuan Shao's family generals. Last month, General Yuan's servant came to propose marriage for his eldest son, but my family did not agree. Who would have thought that Eldest Young Master would bring people to kidnap me today. Fortunately, I met you, young hero."
"Oh? Where is Yuan Tan?" Lu Bu didn't see anyone who looked like a young master.
"He, he ran away when the Yellow Turban bandits went out first.”The girl was especially furious when she heard this name.
"Miss, is your surname Zhen?" Lu Bu thought about it and roughly guessed the whole story. He didn't expect the two young masters of the Yuan family to fall in love with the girl of the Zhen family. They were really brothers.
"His surname is Zhen, and his maiden name is Jiang.”the young girl said shyly.
Zhen Jiang? This was Zhen Mi's elder sister. Lu Bu didn't expect her to be so beautiful, especially with her tear-stained face.
"Oh, I'm going to Wuji, so I can escort you back. What do you think?" Lu Bu immediately tried to get close to her.
"Thank you, Young Master." Zhen Jiang quickly agreed. Since he knew Yuan Tan's name, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Since he dared to call Young Master Yuan by his name, his family must be very powerful. If they could befriend such a person, the Zhen family wouldn't be bullied all the time. Although she was a girl, she had been involved in the management of the family business since a long time ago. Today, she was going to investigate a shop, which was why she gave Yuan Tan this opportunity. Otherwise, he would definitely not kidnap her.
The two of them had their own thoughts and hit it off. However, a problem arose. The two horses pulling the carriage had long fallen into a pool of blood, and one of the wheels was broken. Naturally, it could not be used. Apart from Lu Bu's horse, which was still standing far away, there were no other horses around. It was impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to have horses, and these generals probably walked here.
Taking the horse and looking at Zhen Jiang, Lu Bu started to play tricks. Hehe, now you're going to ride on the same horse as me. Not bad. After thinking about it, he immediately got on the horse and extended his hand to Zhen Mi.
This was the first time he had encountered such a fanatic. Zhen Jiang was truly speechless. Thinking about it, he was also her savior, and he should be very powerful. If something really happened, it could be considered a good home. Anyway, it was very beneficial to the family. Besides, he had already made the appointment and was planning to let Yuan Tan off so that he wouldn't take the opportunity to attack the Zhen family.
Who would have thought that this matter would go through so many twists and turns that he would actually be saved in the end? Even Zhen Jiang himself was surprised.
She generously pulled Lu Bu's hand and jumped onto the horse's back, sitting in front of him. Fortunately, Lu Bu didn't do anything else. His hands only went under her armpits and pulled the reins. After she sat down, he lightly prodded his horse and galloped towards Wuji City.
This time, Zhen Jiang was freezing. She didn't wear much to begin with because there was a stove in the car. Moreover, she knew that it was very uncomfortable to wear a cloak here. Sitting on the bare horse's back, the strong wind mixed with the heavy snow all blew on her face. In a short while, her small face turned blue from the cold.
Lu Bu naturally knew that she was freezing, and he was deliberately riding at a high speed so that he could openly embrace Zhen Jiang in his arms.
When he saw that she couldn't stand the cold anymore, he pulled the reins tightly and stopped the horse. He pulled the large cloak behind him forward and wrapped himself and Zhen Jiang in it like a dumpling. Zhen Jiang had no choice but to tighten his cloak with both hands and stick his body to him. Her neck shrunk slightly, and her pretty face was buried in the cloak.
Now, Lu Bu could no longer control the reins. Because his hands were also wrapped in it. Although he was still holding the reins, he could not shake them.
Lu Bu pressed his legs against the horse's belly, and he controlled the direction with his feet. Taking advantage of the moment Zhen Jiang fell to him when the horse started running, he immediately hugged her abdomen with both hands.
Feeling her trembling from nervousness, Lu Bu smiled smugly. He lowered his head and kissed Zhen Jiang's hair gently, letting her feel his movements. He then whispered into her ear,""Miss Zhen, my surname is Lu and my name is Bu.”
"What? Lu Bu!" Zhen Jiang was shocked. He raised his head but almost touched Lu Bu's mouth. He immediately lowered his head again.
"Hehe, Miss Zhen, have you heard of my name?”Lu Bu could feel that she was afraid. It must be the effect of the rumors. "Then, what did they say about me?"
"N-nothing?" Zhen Jiang whispered. She didn't dare to tell Lu Bu. People had already described him as a demon king who ate human flesh, drank human blood, and killed people like flies.
"I know even if you don't say it.”Lu Bu didn't need to think to know that they had killed so many aristocrats in Luoyang and plundered their property.
"How did you know?" Zhen Jiang was still thinking about the rumors that her three brothers had told her and asked unconsciously. As soon as she said this, her face turned red. Fortunately, Lu Bu couldn't see it.
Lu Bu chuckled and didn't reply. Instead, he asked,""Do you want to know why I, a murderous demon king, came to Zhongshan?”
"What? Aren't you a general? Why did you come here by yourself?" Zhen Mi asked curiously. She thought curiously.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to kill." Lu Bu easily guessed her thoughts." When I was in Luoyang, I heard that the Zhen family of Wuji had a very beautiful daughter called Zhen Jiang. I came to see if it was true.”
"Liar, how could it have reached Luoyang? Even Wuji has many people who don't know me.”Zhen Mi was delighted, but she still retorted.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Let me tell you, I'm here for your Zhen family.”Since he had encountered them, he might as well tie the Zhen family to his chariot.
"Oh? What's wrong with our Zhen family?" Zhen Jiang immediately asked nervously.
"Your Zhen family is about to be in trouble. I came here specially to save you.”Lu Bu deliberately exaggerated the danger that the Zhen family was about to face.
"Nonsense, why would our family be in trouble?”Zhen Jiang obviously didn't believe him.
Lu Bu smiled and said,"I know you don't believe me. Let's wait until we get to your house."”After saying that, he kicked the horse's belly again and sped up.
The Zhen family of Wuji entered the main gate, passed through the reception hall, and arrived at the inner hall where their loved ones were received. Zhen Jiangcai left him here and entered the inner court.
Soon, a young woman in her thirties or forties walked in with Zhen Jiang's support. Behind him were three young men in luxurious clothes. One of them looked sick. It seemed that he had been bedridden for a long time.
"General, please forgive me for not welcoming you from afar.”This young woman was really Zhen Jiang's mother.
She did not look like a mother who had given birth to three boys and five girls. She really took good care of herself! Lu Bu collected himself and said,""Furen is too polite. Please don't blame us for our sudden visit.”
"General, you must be joking. If not for you today, my daughter would have been killed.”Lady Zhen was very polite. She didn't know why Lu Bu was here, so she was just being polite.
" I just happened to be at the right time…" Lu Bu was about to say something else when Zhen Jiang interrupted him.
"General Lu, what kind of disaster will happen to the Zhen family?" she asked directly. Quickly tell my mother."
Her mother glared at her in reproach. Then, she looked at Lu Bu quietly, waiting for his answer.
"Furen should also know that the various dukes are already plotting to attack Dong Zhuo. Presumably, Furen already knew that Yuan Shao was also recruiting troops. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and fodder move first. Although the Yuan family had four generations of dukes, they did not have much money. Naturally, they had to raise money everywhere. In the entire Ji Province, even the You and Bing Provinces, only the Zhen Family could give Yuan Shao this kind of support.
"Originally, he was prepared to marry into the Zhen family to achieve his goal. However, Madam rejected him. Today, his plan was coincidentally ruined by me. How could he face a powerful family that could not form a sincere alliance with him? Moreover, he was about to attack Dong. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to rest easy with such a huge threat left behind.”
"What the general said is true, but our Zhen family is deeply rooted in Hebei. If he wants to touch the Zhen family, he has to think twice.”Mrs. Zhen said firmly.
"Yes, the Zhen family is indeed prosperous, but that's all in business. What if they were facing an army? Furen should know better than me how many troops Yuan Shao has now. Wuji was only a day away from Ye City. Even if it was snowing, Yuan Tan would be home by tomorrow morning. In this way, within three days, Furen should either prepare the rations or wait for Yuan Shao's army to come.”Lu Bu was a little angry at Lady Zhen's attitude. She knew Yuan Shao's thoughts better than he did, but she still pretended not to know.
"Then in your opinion, what should we do?”Lady Zhen thought for a long time and knew that Lu Bu's purpose was the same as Yuan Shao's. He wanted to rope in the Zhen family. However, even though Dong Zhuo was powerful now, could he withstand the combined attacks of the vassals? Although Yuan Shao had gone too far, if he were to marry him, there would be no place in the entire Jizhou Province and even Youzhou Province that the Zhen Family's caravan couldn't reach.
"In Bu's opinion, the Zhen family should naturally go south to avoid disaster. Right now, what Madam is worried about is that she doesn't have anyone to rely on, right?”Lu Bu looked at Lady Zhen's beautiful face and said.
"Then, General, you came here to persuade me on behalf of Prime Minister Dong?”Seeing that Lu Bu had picked a name, Mrs. Zhen was happy to speak frankly.
"I am indeed here to persuade you, but not for Dong Zhuo. It's for me, Lu Bu." Lu Bu enunciated each word.
"What?" The five of them were shocked, and Mrs. Zhen exclaimed. Although it was common for him to betray Dong Zhuo at this time, it would take a lot of courage for him to do so. After all, his reputation was too terrifying.
"No need to be surprised. I'm indeed here for myself. Dong Zhuo's brutality was also built on the military. Just like Yuan Shao, because he had an army, he could order the Zhen family around. When I slowly take control of the army, the situation will change.”Lu Bu was very confident now, especially after having so many generals.
"General is gambling with his life.”Lady Zhen was starting to admire Lu Bu's courage.
"Hehe, life is only fun when there are challenges. Madam, don't forget that I'm a relative of the royal family. As long as I defeat the alliance of the princes, I'll kill Dong Zhuo. Does Madam think that there is anyone in the world who can compete with me?”Facing Lady Zhen, Lu Bu had no choice but to be a little more arrogant. Only by doing so could he show his confidence and arrogance, making Lady Zhen feel that he was easier to fool than Yuan Shao. As for who would be the one to beat up in the future, that would be up for discussion.
"If our Zhen family moves south, where will the general arrange for us? The Central Plains was about to experience war, and the South did not have the power of a general.”Mrs. Zhen was a little relaxed. In her opinion, Lu Bu was much easier to deal with than Yuan Shao. Moreover, her daughter seemed to have fallen in love with him. With her daughter's methods, wouldn't Lu Bu serve the Zhen family wholeheartedly?
"Furen, there is no need to test the cloth. I believe that you have also come to a conclusion. What I mean is that the Zhen family will stay in Shangdang County for half a year, and then they can go to Chang 'an. He believed that the Zhen Family would have a much better life in Chang 'an than in Jizhou.”Lu Bu carefully calculated his plan. The time to eliminate Dong Zhuo should be in the summer of 190 AD. He could not be any later, or his plan would be completely messed up.
Staring into Lu Bu's eyes for a long time, Lady Zhen said firmly,""Then the Zhen family will gamble with the general. However, General, you have to agree to one condition of mine.”
"Alright, I'll do it. Please speak, Madam." Lu Bu relaxed. As long as you agree to follow me, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Lady Zhen glanced at Zhen Jiang and paused for a moment before saying something shocking,""The day the Zhen family arrives in Chang 'an will be the day the general marries my daughter, Zhen Jiang. How is it?"
The Mid-Autumn Festival is here. I wish everyone a happy holiday and a reunion with your family!)
