At night.
Luoyang was suddenly on fire. The intense flames dyed the sky red.
The armored soldiers in the city drove the people toward Chang 'an, and there were loud cries on the way.
Report!
The scout walked in front of Cao Cao and dismounted.""My lord, Luoyang is on fire. Three hundred miles to the east, the soldiers of Western Liang are driving the people toward Chang 'an.”
"Go tell Yuan Shao to go to Luoyang to put out the fire first. My troops will pursue Dong Zhuo and ask him to send troops to help.”
"Yes."
The messenger turned around and left. Cao Cao then instructed Cao Ren,""Go borrow some cavalry from the various dukes and catch up.”
"Understood," Cao Ren cupped his fists.
"Zilian, lead the tribe and the dukes to join forces and head to Luoyang to put out the fire.”
"Yes."
"Ziqian, gather some cavalry and follow me to chase after that Dong thief.”
Zhang Wu slapped his breastplate loudly."Leave it to me!" He then turned his horse around and reorganized the cavalry.
Before leaving, Zhang Wu dragged Cao Hong to the side and said,""General Zilian, I need your help with something.”
"Alright, don't call me General. It makes my back feel cold. If you have something to say, say it.”
"That personal guard of mine…"
Cao Hong rolled his eyes." I was wondering why you couldn't forget your bodyguard no matter where you went. Those who don't know better would think that it was your wife."”
"Alright, I won't hide it from you anymore. That personal guard was Cai Yan in disguise.”
"Cai Yan? I don't recognize him."
" You don't have to recognize her. Just remember that she's my wife and protect her. If anyone dares to come within a hundred steps of her," Zhang Wu made a throat-cutting gesture and said coldly,""Kill without mercy."
Cao Hong nodded seriously. Although the two of them often joked about each other, their relationship was much better than others.
Since Zhang Wu dared to entrust the task of entrusting his family to Cao Hong, he was sure that the other party would not mess it up.
"Don't worry. If anyone dares to have any ideas about your wife, I'll cut them into pieces. As for you, the lord's safety is more important. Don't kill to your heart's content and leave the lord behind.”
Zhang Wu pounded Cao Hong's shoulder." The lord has Dian Wei's protection. Nothing will go wrong. I'll go now."”
.........
On the official road, the commoners were dragging their families and carrying their luggage. The pace of their journey was too slow, and the pursuers arrived in the blink of an eye.
"Fengxian, what does Dong Zhuo mean? It's fine if he doesn't allow you to recruit soldiers to fill the ranks of the Bingzhou Army, but now he wants you to cover the rear for the commoners! This is too much!"
"Shut up. That's the Prime Minister. How dare you call him by his name? Do you want to die?”Lu Bu scolded Wei Xu in a low voice and continued on his way, his face extremely gloomy.
Dong Zhuo had ordered Lu Bu to bring up the rear because he had no intention of letting him go.
After all, they were father and son. Dong Zhuo really didn't want to drag everyone down with him.
However, no one understood his painstaking efforts. The generals of Bingzhou only thought that Dong Zhuo wanted to kill the donkey when he was done and use the hands of the pursuers to destroy Lu Bu.
In the distance, the warhorses neighed, and with the help of a crazy horse, they left the coachman behind and rushed straight to the cliff.
"Ah, the horse is frightened. Quickly save my young miss.”
Lu Bu came back to his senses and rode the red rabbit to chase after the horse carriage. His Heavenly Halberd shot out like lightning and grabbed the rope of blame, pulling it with all its might.
On the carriage, a corner of the cloth curtain was lifted by the wind. Lu Bu caught a glimpse of it, but his eyes could not move away.
The woman was devastatingly beautiful, like an immortal who had walked out of a painting.
"Thank you for saving my life, General." The woman lifted a corner of the carriage and bowed. Her voice was like an oriole.
"It's alright, it's alright to ask young miss…My maiden name."
"There's no need for general to worry…"
"Lu Bu, you dog, let go of that girl!”
A cold light pierced through the air. The Overlord Spear, which weighed more than 400 jin, pierced through the sky, bringing with it a whistling sound.
Lu Bu was shocked. How could he care about the woman? He pulled the red rabbit and raised its front hooves, barely dodging the fatal spear.
Lu Bu dodged the Overlord Spear, but the carriage behind him was not so lucky. The carriage made of high-quality sandalwood shattered like paper under the impact of the spear tip.
Seeing that the beautiful woman was about to fall to the ground, Zhang Wu arrived on his fiery red steed. He reached out and grabbed the woman's slender waist, carrying her on the back of the steed.
"Young Lady, don't be afraid. With me, Zhang Wu, here, no one can be violent.”As he spoke, Zhang Wu retrieved the Overlord Spear from the ground and pointed it at Lu Bu with one hand."Bastard, you are so shameless in broad daylight.”
Diao Chan's heart trembled as her beautiful eyes looked forward.
Zhang Wu, he was Zhang Wu.
The young hero that his foster father had mentioned, the one who had defeated Thief Dong.
He looked so young and handsome. He didn't look like a warrior leading a charge at all, but a talented scholar who had read a lot.
Diao Chan's pretty face blushed as she hid her head tightly in Zhang Wu's arms, afraid that others would notice something amiss.
"Zhang Wu!" Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, and he panted heavily as he growled,""Let her go!"
"What's wrong? Are you angry from embarrassment because you ruined your plan? The servants of the three families are indeed shameless."
Lu Bu was about to explode from anger. He had clearly saved that woman and only wanted to ask for her name. How could Zhang Wu say that he was a scum worse than a beast?
In front of a beauty, Lu Bu had lost face, but at this moment, Zhang Wu was hugging the woman he liked. Lu Bu did not dare to attack, afraid that he would hurt the woman.
"Let go of that woman and I will fight you for 300 rounds!”
"Tch ~ Little marquis, you call yourself marquis so easily. You're so proud. Those who don't know better might think that you're the reincarnation of the champion marquis of the early Han Dynasty.”
Coincidentally, the female servant came to look for him, so Zhang Wu put the woman down.
Diao Chan landed on the ground and bowed, saying softly,""Thank you for saving my life, General. I am Diao Chan, the adopted daughter of Situ Wangyun.”
"Diao Chan!" "So you're Diao Chan, no wonder you're so beautiful." Zhang Wu laughed heartily. My name is Zhang Wu, also known as Ziqian."
"Will... General, you flatter me."
This made Lu Bu even angrier. He had clearly saved Diao Chan's life, but she was unwilling to reveal her name.
And Zhang Wu pierced the carriage of Diao Chan with his spear, ruining the beauty, but in exchange, the beauty was dying.
He wished he could poke ten thousand holes in Zhang Wu's body to vent his hatred.
"Zhang Wu, you dog thief, hand over your life!"
The battle formation was obviously not a place for romance. Even if Zhang Wu was excited, he could not bring Diao Chan back now. He could only take on Lu Bu with his spear.
With the Overlord Spear in hand, Lu Bu was surprised to find that Zhang Wu's moves had changed again.
The first time, he held the heavy iron spear in his hand, and the spear techniques he used were very powerful. In the end, the spear broke in the middle.
The second time, he used his silver spear, which was nimble and unpredictable, making it difficult for Lu Bu to parry.
This time, after a few clashes, Lu Bu realized that Zhang Wu's combat techniques were different from his spear and halberd. After opening and closing, it was unpredictable.
A famous general might have many moves, but their style would be determined by years of killing.
This was the first time Lu Bu had encountered someone who had fought three times but had a completely different fighting style.
Zhang Wu wouldn't tell Lu Bu that after his second martial soul started fusing, not only had his strength increased by a large margin, but his combat skills had also become more diverse.
