Chapter 107 – Visiting Lu Bu's Camp

Zhang Ji and the rest were guided into the guest houses by Ding Yuan while Tong asked Lu Bu to tag along with him for the moment .

Lu Bu agreed . He planned to spar with Tong again anyway, so he brought Tong to his army camp nearby to give him a tour .

"There are mountains everywhere but most of your troops are cavalries?"

Tong was astonished by the sight of horse ranches and the warhorses . They were twice as big as ordinary horses he had seen .

An ordinary horse was usually a bit thin and light, while these warhorses were muscular and thick . Common horse weighed only 500-700kg, but these guys should be around 800 to 1,200kg each .

Back at Julu, the majority of Bo Cai's soldiers still used common horses as their warhorses, which was depressing if Tong compared it with the proper cavalry units under Lu Bu here .

"These are not ordinary warhorses, Tong . These are Xiangnu warhorses . They can traverse on cliffs and hike the steep terrains . "

"Xiangnu warhorses? The Xiangnu Tribes!?"

"Of course, we aren't actually at war with all of the tribes . Some of them trade with us . Our city was barren, to begin with, so we have to rely on trading with neighbors even if they were barbarian tribes . We profit from selling ores and raw jewelry we dug up in the mines while we bought food and supplies from Shangdang or the Xiangnu tribes . Come to think of it, your city seems to be doing well on the trading fields . Are you now a conglomerate?"

Tong gazed at Lu Bu in disbelief . He thought that this man was just a simple muscle-brain greedy warrior, but he seemed to be well-versed on other fields as well .

"Yes . We're selling a few kinds of stuff to the merchants . "

"Good, good! Young masters like us have to be good at commerce! Those nobles without financial knowledge are a bunch of rotten fools . They will burn out all of their treasures if they don't know how to earn some gold!"

Listening to Lu Bu's random rambling, Tong could not believe his ears . Was this the Lu Bu, the God of War? Why did he sound like a son of a merchant? Was he always like this in his timeline too?

"Did you learn all of these from your father?"

Tong decided to probe this man a bit . It was not hurt to gather around a few pieces of information .

"Oh, I learned it from one of my subordinates . I meant my adviser . Thanks to him, our soldiers have been well-fed and disciplined . At first, he was just a no-name brat that I picked from one of the roadsides . Who would have thought that he turns out to be such an intelligent youngster? Come to think of it, both of you are at a similar age . I should introduce him to you . "

Tong feet came to a pause . His mind was as if he had been struck by a lightning .

Everything in this world happened for a reason . And the reason Lu Bu acted like this was obvious . He did not have any advisor until he met Chen Gong in Chenliu City . The existence of Lu Bu's advisor here did not fit in the historical timeline, which Tong came to a conclusion .

He was influenced by an otherworlder!

'Why does thing always get complicated like this!? All history timeline and people's habit I had remembered are all useless here!'

Realizing that a reincarnator had taken root in this city, Tong threw away all his previous knowledge and references from his previous life . Every person here had to be reevaluated from a scratch .

'This reminds me . There are 20 reincarnators remaining, me, Hua Shi, Liu Ping, and Te Langpu . So that means 16 other people are still roaming around somewhere this country . Unless I get rid of them all, the butterfly effects will get more chaotic and unpredictable . '

Tong's face turned serious while he caught up with Lu Bu . He calculated in his mind about a plan to retreat or escape from this place as he observed the surroundings . In the worst case scenario, if he ended up having a feud with Lu Bu and his gangs, Tong could still keep his life and fled this city .

Secure the escape route first, then proceed to the battlefield .

It was a motto that Tong kept in his mind as a fruit of his experiences in this world .

'I'll observe the situation first . The other party should also know that I'm a reincarnator as well . I still have my time stop skill and both my gun and rifle are still in my inventory . If thing goes south, I'll just kill them all . '

The feet of Lu Bu stopped all of a sudden . He turned around and peered at Tong with the corner of his eyes .

"Oi, brat . I don't know what you are thinking about . But no one plans to harm you in here . You don't need to be that cautious . "

Tong jolted and snapped out of his thought with Lu Bu's words .

"Huh?"

"I can sense your killing intent . I know it wasn't for me and others but someone else, so I'll overlook it . I'll say this again . No one can harm you as long as I'm here . I'm your goddamn host, and it's my job to protect my guests . Any asshole that comes for you will have to get through me first . So relax . "

As an elite and veteran in the battlefield, Lu Bu had sensed Tong's killing intent when he was thinking and planned about how to kill the otherworlder behind Lu Bu .

Though Lu Bu could not tell exactly why Tong would emit a hostile intent now, he and his men did not plan to harm Tong from the start . Therefore, he warned Tong, so he could relax around here a bit .

Acknowledging his good will, Tong nodded and calm himself . Both of them continued to proceed inside Lu Bu's camp .

Upon reaching the training ground, the sounds of soldiers in the middle of training could be heard . A hundred was doing a push-up . Another hundred men were jogging around the training field . Other groups were doing different activities .

Tong frowned the moment he saw the actions of the soldiers . What they were doing was a training method of the 21st-century, which was the same that he did with his army .

It was clearer than crystal clear that Lu Bu's advisor was one of the people from his time .

Among the training soldiers, a young man in a scholar cloth was riding a horse in an awkward manner . By the looks of it, he was practicing riding a horse with another soldier riding beside him to give him a pointer .

The scholar stood out from the rest . He did not tie his hair with a knot or had long hair like other natives here . Instead, he cut his hair short . He had no beard nor mustache . In other words, he was so not from this world .

Tong looked at the scholar with a cringe expression while he marked the person with his radar map . The name was shown as Li Feihong, which never appeared in the Three Kingdoms Era .

'Good thing that I didn't have to search around . '

The soldiers noticed Lu Bu and stopped training to salute him . The scholar also turned around and rode his horse toward Lu Bu's direction . At the same time, two middle-aged men in a fancy armor showed up to greet Lu Bu .

"Welcome back, young master . "

"Welcome back, young lord!"

Seeing the two men cupped their hands and bowed to himself, Lu Bu waved and allowed them to look up .

"Zhang Liao, Gao Shun! I want you two to meet this person . He is Zhang Tong of Julu that we heard about . He managed to receive my full power strike head on and still standing! He's also probably stronger than both of you in terms of swordsmanship! Don't you two look down on him!"

The two middle-aged men, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, gazed at Tong with both round eyes as they were astonished . Both of them sparred with their Lord before, so they knew how absurd Lu Bu's strength was . Yet, their lord had spoken himself that this person could withstand his attack head-on .

In addition, they had heard about Tong's feat, which he routed Zou Jing and killed Guo Dian despite the great disadvantage in the battle of Anping before . As generals of thousand men, they admired the strategies and the valor that Tong showed in the battle .

The eyes of astonishment turned into the eyes of admiration . Zhang Liao and Gao Shun bowed and cupped their fists as they greeted Tong with respect .

"Greeting, Lord Zhang Tong!"

"Greeting, Lord Zhang!"

Tong also returned the greeting with respect .

"Sir Zhang Liao, Sir Gao Shun, well met! Please to meet both of you!"

Lu Bu laughed and nodded that he succeeded in making a connection between Tong and his two subordinates . He waved his hand and called the other subordinate over .

"Li Feihong! Come here! I want you to meet someone!"

On the contrary of everyone's mood, Li Feihong was in a panic when he heard the name "Zhang Tong" from afar . He attempted to turn his horse around to escape, but it did not listen to him at all .

'No, no, no, no, no . Please turn around, or I'll be dead!'

'That's definitely another reincarnator! I have to escape!'

'Should I open the gate right now?'
