Chapter 84 A Fateful Encounter

"Bu greets the general and thanks him for his concern!"

Zhang Huan smiled and nodded, "It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"

Feeling Zhang Huan's elder-like concern, Lü Bu felt a slight warmth in his heart. There was a time when he, living on the grasslands, thought that he would live the rest of his life in the darkness of revenge.

But after meeting Yan Jin, Lü Bu saw a glimmer of light in her eyes. After returning to the Han Dynasty, Lü Bu realized how warm the land beneath his feet was and how kind the people were.

Who are these two children?

Noticing Yan Jin and Yan Mao beside Lü Bu, Zhang Huan noticed that although Yan Jin was emaciated from the torture, it was not hard to tell from her eyes and facial features that she was a beauty. He couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Reporting to the general, they are also from Jiuyuan. They were captured by the Xiongnu, and I rescued them by chance and brought them back!"

Lu Bu then truthfully told Zhang Huan about the situation of Yan Jin and her brother, but he chose to conceal the matter of Ma Teng.

Because Ma Teng had told Lü Bu that they had entered the grasslands on the emperor's secret orders, and Lü Bu was unaware of the emperor's intentions, he did not reveal their information even when facing Zhang Huan.

"Alas, they are such pitiful children. It is their good fortune to have met Fengxian!"

Zhang Huan sighed softly, looking at Yan Jin and Yan Mao with a hint of guilt in his eyes. How many families had been destroyed by the Xiongnu? This was his dereliction of duty as a soldier.

After calming himself down, Zhang Huan looked at Lü Bu and said, "Fengxian, Zhen'er has always been thinking about you. Every time I mention your name to her, she keeps smiling."

"Zhen'er?"

Lu Bu looked at Zhang Huan with some confusion.

Zhang Huan's eyes darted around, and he looked at Lü Bu with a smile, "The baby girl you brought back, I'll name her Lü Zhen, how about she be your sister?"

"younger sister?"

Thinking of the baby who had helped him escape death, Lü Bu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and nodded unconsciously.

"Good! From today onwards, Zhen'er will be my younger sister, Lü Bu's own sister!"

"Haha~ Good! Fengxian, it's been so long, that girl has grown up quite a bit. Let's go see her together."

Zhang Huan smiled happily, then led Lü Bu into the camp, with Dong Zhuo and Yan Jin following closely behind.

"Giggle..."

Arriving outside a military tent, Lü Bu heard the familiar laughter inside, and his gaze softened even more.

Upon entering the tent, Lü Bu saw a middle-aged woman holding an infant and constantly playing with it; this was the wet nurse that Zhang Huan had found for Lü Zhen.

Meanwhile, Lü Zhen kept laughing as the wet nurse teased her.

Even Dong Zhuo, who was standing to the side, was infected by the baby's laughter and wished he could go up and tease it too. This man who had fought for many years also had a tender side.

Just as Lü Bu and the others entered the tent, Lü Zhen's laughter suddenly stopped, and she began to cry loudly, her small body twisting and turning as she struggled toward Lü Bu.

The wet nurse was also at a loss for what to do by this sudden change. She had been taking care of Lü Zhen for almost so long and had never cried before. Today, her sudden outburst of tears made her a little flustered.

Hearing Lü Zhen's cries, Lü Bu's heart trembled. He hurriedly took two steps forward to the wet nurse, wanting to take Lü Zhen into his arms.

"Ah!! What are you doing??"

The wet nurse, who was in a flurry of activity, was startled by Lü Bu's sudden rush and quickly shielded Lü Zhen. However, Lü Zhen struggled incessantly in her arms, trying to break free.

"He is Zhen'er's brother, don't be afraid!"

"Oh! I see!"

Hearing Zhang Huan's words, the wet nurse finally felt relieved and handed Lü Zhen over to Lü Bu.

Lu Bu carefully reached out and took Lü Zhen in his arms, gently holding her in his embrace. His gaze was full of tenderness and affection as he looked at Lü Zhen in his arms.

It seemed like a destined encounter.

Lu Zhen, who had just been crying uncontrollably, was now kicking her little legs, grinning, and laughing nonstop, her big eyes fixed on Lu Bu.

"They really are siblings! Zhen'er is so happy!"
