The room in the mansion was dimly lit. Vertex Novel Updates Fastest
The rest of the candles have been extinguished, except for the one in front of the bed which is still shaking.
The candlelight reflected a face, and the yellowish light reflected and danced in the eyes of the people around.
It was pitch black all around, only the firelight and the human face could be seen clearly.
The person sitting in front of the bed is that Cao Cao.
He didn't want to sleep that night, just like the night he received those words that night.
Jun Qingping is a traitor, a hero in troubled times.
He had already almost forgotten this sentence, but now that it was mentioned again, he realized that he had never forgotten it.
Traitor, hero.
In the firelight, Cao Cao's eyes closed lightly. When he was young, he was criticized by others because he was a eunuch.
At that time, he wanted to be a prefect, to govern a county well, to establish virtue, so that the world could see clearly what kind of person Cao Cao was.
Later, he was ordered to be a captain, and then a lieutenant of the Dianjun. At that time, what he wanted was to stand up for the Han Dynasty, make meritorious deeds against thieves, and be able to establish a career as a concubine.
Fortunately, after his death, the words "Tomb of Cao Houzhi", the general who conquered the West in the Han Dynasty, could be engraved on the tombstone.
But now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and the world is in turmoil, this ambition has nowhere to go.
"Traitor, male." Cao Cao read the two words once, and finally his eyes were fixed on the fire.
Reach out and pinch the wick with two fingers.
The room was completely dark, and Cao Cao lay down feeling the burning pain on his fingertips.
Whether it is a traitor or a hero depends on what Cao Cao did, not what the world says.
He only does what he should do, and lives up to this seven-foot body.
What's the harm in asking the world to talk about the others
In the next two days, Cao Cao ordered the soldiers guarding the door that if they saw a Mr. Baipao bringing a little girl to the door, they would immediately let the two of them come in to entertain them, and then inform him.
The air in front of the hall is stuffy, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter these days. Cao Cao will sit in the hall drinking herbal tea while waiting for news.
Now the princes have communicated and sat down to make arrangements, ready to move.
But at this time, he was not as enthusiastic as before. What the gentleman said before made him have to reconsider the success of the coalition crusade.
At this time, he really felt that the 5,000 people in his hands were really too small, and they didn't have much weight among the princes.
"boom."
A muffled sound woke Cao Cao up, and he put down the tea bowl in his hand in doubt.
Not long after, there were bursts of dense voices from outside the hall.
Cao Cao suddenly remembered something, counted the time, and sat in the hall in a daze.
He listened blankly to the voice in his ear.
This sound, could it be that it is really raining outside
"Tap Tat Tat."
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then a man in armor walked up to the hall. The armor on his body was wet by the rain, but he didn't seem to notice it.
Although he walked fast, his face was dull, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Hey, Yuan Rang, why are you walking so fast all of a sudden?"
Another person chased after him, it was a strong man, walking up the hall quickly, the armor made a dull sound with his footsteps.
The man named Yuan Rang was Xiahou that day, and the other man was another general under Cao Cao, Cao Hong and Cao Zilian.
Seeing Xiahou standing in the hall and seeing Cao Cao, he reacted a little and bowed to Cao Cao.
"General."
Cao Hong, who was chasing after him, also saw Cao Cao, stopped and said, "General."
"Yuan Rang and Zi Lian. They are all my brothers, so just call me Meng De in private."
Cao Cao said calmly, and after finishing speaking, his eyes became more serious, and he looked at Xiahou standing in the hall.
"Yuan Rang, there is nothing outside"
Xia Hou was silent for a while, turned his head to look outside, nodded heavily and said, "Yes, Mengde, it's raining outside."
Cao Cao stood up directly from the desk, frowning, his face full of puzzlement.
After thinking for a while, he finally smiled and asked, "Really?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense." Xiahou lowered his head, at this moment he felt as if he had hit a ghost.
There is really someone who can know the weather of the exchange and speculate on the truth.
"Go and see."
Cao Cao walked out of the hall with excitement in his eyes.
Xia Hou hurriedly followed.
Cao Hong and Cao Zilian were left alone standing there with some doubts. He didn't understand that it was just raining, and it wasn't that he had never seen it before.
In the courtyard outside the hall, the patter of the heavy rain seemed to pour down, and the rain poured down from the dark clouds in the air.
The sky was still clear this morning, and the rain seemed to come out of nowhere.
From time to time, there were a few muffled thunderclaps in the air, only the thunder was heard, but no falling.
Cao Cao stood under the eaves, looking out through the rainwater falling from the eaves.
The accumulated water in the yard gathered, and the raindrops hit the ground and splashed pieces of water, but it was a downpour.
"It's really raining," Cao Cao muttered to himself, looking at the rain in a daze.
Cao Cao's eyes were bright and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xia Hou looked at the heavy rain from the side, with a strange expression on his face, this matter was beyond his comprehension.
Farmers also have some methods of observing the sky for farming, but they have never heard of people being able to predict the sky every other day, and they can be accurate to one day.
But then he thought of something again, and said with relief.
"The person the day before yesterday said that the rain would stop soon. I think the rain is as big as beans, and I don't know when it will last. The person must have said something wrong."
Cao Cao looked back at Xiahou, then at Yuli, thought for a while and said.
"Let's wait and see."
Cao Hong in the back listened to the conversation between the two, his face was full of surprise, why did it really rain, who was a strange person, what was wrong, why wait and see.
Anyway, he couldn't understand a word, so he asked with a wry smile.
"Meng Deyuanrang, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?"
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Yuan Rang, talk to Zi Lian."
Xiahou responded, and immediately told Cao Hong what happened the day before yesterday.
After hearing this, Cao Hong felt disbelief, and opened his mouth to speak.
"If this is the case, isn't it the means of gods and ghosts?"
"Hmph." Xiahou said in a muffled voice, "That person is still wrong, the rain won't stop for a day."
But as soon as his words fell, the sound of the rain suddenly became smaller.
Then it gets lighter and lighter.
After another cup of tea, the rain stopped completely, and the dark clouds gradually dispersed, revealing the light of the sky.
The heavy rain stopped as soon as it said it would stop. It took less than half an hour from the beginning to the end of the rain.
Xiahou looked at the sky complicatedly, and Cao Hong pursed his lips.
Seeing the light breaking out that day, Cao Cao grinned, "The rain has stopped."
"That sir, he is really a strange person."
After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at the sky, and turned his eyes to the door, but there was no one there.
Some eagerly asked Cao Hong.
"Zi Lian, your subordinate is in charge of the door. In the past two days, there was a gentleman in white who brought a little girl here."
Cao Hong was taken aback, thought for a while, shook his head and said.
"I haven't seen it. There are very few people going in and out these days, so I probably remember it correctly."
The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared and turned into a worried expression.
He paced back and forth in front of the hall for a few rounds with his hands behind his back.
"How could it be? Could it be that there was something wrong with it, which caused the dissatisfaction of the husband?"
