A middle-aged man led two people in. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
The man was about thirty years old, with eagle eyes and eyebrows, and a pale face.
Even though he was smiling, there was still a hint of interest between his brows, and he looked around with a boldness that made everyone around him avoid their eyes. With a long sword at his waist, he was wearing a martial robe.
There are some calluses on the tiger's mouth in the palm, it can be seen that it is a common weapon, and the sword on the waist is also different from the ordinary ritual sword, it should not be just an ornamental object.
He was followed by two people, both of them were eight feet tall, with swords on their waists, and they walked like tigers and tigers, with a bit of bravery on their bodies. However, one of them has a more vicious face, while the other looks more honest.
Gu Nan watched the three people walk in, looked away, and took a bite of the noodles.
Lingqi also raised her eyes to look, but she only glanced at it as if she was used to seeing it, she looked down and ate the noodles.
This made Gu Nan a little surprised, two of the three were fierce, but Lingqi didn't show any fear.
The three of them sat down, sitting next to Gu Nan and the others at their table.
"Shopkeeper, here are three bowls of noodles."
The man in the lead yelled.
"Hey, right away."
The store inside seemed to be familiar with this man, and it seemed that this man was indeed a frequent visitor.
He smiled and agreed, and started cooking noodles.
The two people sitting next to the man in Wupao looked around the store, and finally their eyes fell on the table of Gu Nan who was sitting on the side.
The black stick on the table made them all pay attention at the same time. It was the intuition of a warrior. In their opinion, the black stick should be a sharp weapon.
The two exchanged glances, both cautious.
The man glanced at the men sitting on both sides, and saw that both of them were a little tense, and knew that they should have discovered something.
But he just laughed haha, patted the two of them on the shoulder and said.
"Yuan Rang, Miao Cai, you don't have to be so careful all the time, come out to eat some pasta, just let go."
The man named Yuan Rang frowned and looked at the man in the martial arts robe and said.
"Meng De, it's better to be careful, the army is about to go out, the general must not lose anything."
The man in the martial robe let go of his hand, shook his head and smiled nonchalantly.
"This is Chen Liu, what can I do?"
"Meng De" the man named Yuan Rang wanted to say something, but was stopped by the man in the martial arts robe.
"Okay, just eat noodles and rest assured."
Glancing at the man in the martial robe, the other two looked at each other helplessly, nodded and said.
"Also."
"Hahaha." The man in the martial arts robe laughed and said to the shopkeeper in the shop.
"Shopkeeper, bring me some more jars of wine, and I'm making some side dishes."
The noodle shop originally didn't sell wine and food, but it's not impossible to make some for regular customers, let alone such distinguished customers.
Soon the store brought up the wine and dishes, and the three of them started eating with wine bowls.
Cold wine accompanied by side dishes, a few people talking and laughing, is a rare pleasure in summer.
Chatting about trivial matters, after a few rounds of drinking.
The man in the martial arts robe suddenly asked in a low voice to the people around him.
"Miaocai, how many troops does our army have now?"
The voice was very soft, and the people sitting in the noodle restaurant couldn't hear it clearly, but to Gu Nan, it was the same as talking in the ear.
The man named Miaocai was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious, and he said in a low voice.
"Now there are five thousand people."
"Five thousand." The man in the martial arts robe murmured in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
"You can already form an army."
As he spoke, he held the wine bowl in his hand and looked into the swaying wine.
His eyes were reflected in the wine, and there was a bit of complexity in those eyes, as he whispered to himself.
"With the power of the princes, this time, Dong Zhuo will definitely be defeated."
"Five thousand people are too few."
A voice suddenly came from the side, and the man in the martial robe was startled. The two people beside him raised one hand to their waist at the same time, and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
The person who spoke was a man in white robe sitting at the side, and what was placed on her table was the previous black stick.
The man in the martial robe turned his head, and his eyes fell on the man in the white robe.
Frowning slightly: "Sir, were you talking to Cao just now?"
"I can't be called a gentleman." Gu Nan smiled lightly, and pressed down his bamboo hat.
"I'm just a wandering alchemist who came to see General Cao after hearing the name."
Meng De, who called himself Cao Cao, looked at his face and this person should be Cao Cao without a doubt.
And the two people beside him should be Xiahouyuan and Xiahou.
"Oh?" Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked, "I don't know why you want to see me, sir?"
"I just want to see, what is a traitor in Qingping and a hero in troubled times." Gu Nan said with a smile.
Cao Cao's eyes froze.
Xiahou and Xiahouyuan looked at each other and got up to go forward at the same time, but Cao Cao stopped him with his hand.
Gu Nan put the chopsticks on the table, as if he was not going to eat any more.
The atmosphere in the noodle shop was a little gloomy.
Lingqi raised her head and looked at the unfinished noodles in Gu Nan's bowl.
He pursed his lips and reminded carefully from the side.
"Master, it's better not to waste food."
"Cough." Gu Nan choked, looked at Lingqi with shame, touched her head and said, "Master, I will finish eating later."
"Yeah." Lingqi blushed and continued to eat noodles with her head down.
Cao Cao who was sitting opposite also woke up, looked at Lingqi who was sitting at the table, and smiled slightly: "Mr.'s student is really cute."
While talking, he patted Xiahou and Xiahouyuan next to him to indicate that they don't have to do this, then asked Gu Nan with a smile.
"I don't know where you heard this sentence, sir?"
The traitor of Jun Qingping, the hero of troubled times is what Xu Shao said to him back then, because he coerced him into it, Xu Shao did not make it public, and only a few people should know this sentence.
"It's just hearsay."
Gu Nan raised his eyebrows, and took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks basket to finish eating the noodles.
Cao Cao's brows lowered a little, and instead of continuing to talk about it, he asked instead.
"Then what does it mean that the 5,000 people you mentioned just now are too few?"
Five thousand people is not much, but it is also not small.
And what Cao Cao cares about is whether Gu Nan knows what his five thousand people are used for.
"If you want to defeat Chang'an's army, 5,000 people are naturally too few."
Gu Nan picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it into his mouth to eat, and said as it should.
"How did sir know that Cao was going to join Chang'an's army?"
"It's just hearsay." Gu Nan replied as before.
For the first time, Cao Cao's eyes showed some seriousness.
Now that the feudal lords have not risen, the matter of the joint crusade against Dong Zhuo is only passed on secretly among the relevant lords, waiting for it to happen in one fell swoop. How did the alchemist Gu Nan know? He didn't believe it was just hearsay.
But on the surface, Cao Cao's expression was still calm, and he said with a light smile: "If you want to defeat Chang'an's army, it is impossible to be Cao Yi's army."
