The food and grass in Wuchao were burned by a fire, and Yuan Shao who went to help was killed by Cao Cao. Gao Lan and Zhang He, who attacked Cao Ying, could not attack Cao Ying for a long time, until they learned the news of Wuchao and led the crowd to surrender Cao Cao.
The setting sun outside poured into the camp, making the people and things in the camp look a bit more colorful, no longer just sand and armor. In a few days, Yuan Jun will retreat, and Cao Jun can return to the army.
It was already the evening of the second day when Cao Cao led Qingqi back to the camp and finished dealing with Gao Lan and Zhang Yun.
Gu Nan casually sat cross-legged on the open space, holding a piece of cloth in his hand, wiping his spear.
But some of the blood on the spear had already solidified there and could not be wiped off. The originally white fringe of the spear turned into a messy dirty red.
There are many gaps in the edge of the gun front, and there are a few curled blades. The mottled gun body seems to show what kind of battle this spear has gone through.
Gu Nan looked at the spear in her hand and thought, maybe she should change it. She didn't remember either, but she changed a few spears and spears. But every time it is replaced, most of them look like this.
Cao Cao didn't go back to the tent either, and sat beside Gu Nan in the open space in the barracks. The wound in his hand had scabbed over, and he raised his eyes to watch the clouds drifting leisurely by in the sky, with the rays of the setting sun shining like red.
As far as the eye can see, there are all connected camps and soldiers in armor coming and going.
Putting the spear on the ground, Gu Nan saw that Cao Cao was looking into the distance, and also looked along, it was boundless.
But at this time, it is not clear whether it is leisure or loneliness.
"Mr. Gu." Cao Cao said to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan turned around: "What's wrong?"
"I have some." With red clouds in his eyes, Cao Cao said, "I can't see clearly this troubled world."
When I was a teenager, I had great ambitions, thinking that one person and one horse should travel all over the world. When I was in my prime, in troubled times, I thought that one person and one sword should bring peace to the world. But now that he is almost past middle age, he can no longer see clearly the world he is in.
can not see clearly.
Gu Nan looked down at the spear she had put on the ground. She had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen it clearly.
The general trend of the world, the long-term will be united, and the long-term will be divided. Maybe this is just a loss of human nature.
Raising his eyebrows, Gu Nan patted the dust off his hands, stood up, and asked Cao Cao with a smile.
"Meng De, do you want to watch the sword dance?"
Cao Cao was taken aback, but before he could answer, Gu Nan had already pulled out Wuge and stood there.
The blade is slender and has a slight chill. As the wind moved, the sword also moved, drawing an arc. The sword light is pure white, with a bit of coolness and a bit of coldness in the white light. The person holding the sword light was as light as light, and his white clothes turned around, driving the sword light around.
The edge of the sword hummed in the wind, like a person whispering in the ear, whispering the story of this sword. But in Jianguang, there are rounds of spring, summer, autumn and winter, laughter and frolicking, and disputes on the battlefield.
But in the end, these are no longer there, only the hesitant silence and a mood that is far away.
Cao Cao was fascinated by the sight, and the sword-wielding man in white turned around, and the sword light illuminated her cheeks. When Cao Cao saw her eyes, he was as cold as Jian Guang. It seems that she is the sword in her hand, and what is narrated in the sword is her story.
A gust of wind blew in the camp, blowing the camp flag, the camp tent, the sand, and the sword light. Cao Cao's heart trembled, he didn't know whether it was the wind or his heart.
He just felt that the sword light was bleak and cold, and he said everything on his mind.
The wind stopped, the sword light did not go, and the blade returned to its sheath. The man in white held his sword and faced the sky, turned around and said with a smile.
"how?"
In Cao Cao's eyes, the man's side was soaked in golden glow.
"Mr. Gu." Cao Cao smiled frustratedly.
"You shouldn't be born in this troubled world, you deserve a better world."
Gu Nan smiled and shook her head: "I'm not worth it."
She alone is not worth it. She has no ambitions, no ability to calm the world, no heart to tolerate all people, no determination to save the world.
Eternal life, all she can do is superficial, so she is not worth it, there are too many people who deserve a better world than her.
Gu Nan left alone, Cao Cao stayed where he was, and stood up.
Some old people stood up straight, with blood in their hands, and raised their swords. Taking a deep breath, he lightly pointed at the dome and left his four words.
"The troubled times shall pass."
······
Yuan Jun was defeated, and Cao Cao led his army back to Xuchang. Yuan Shao died in battle. He was always famous for his virtue. After his death, the people of Hebei were very sad. And the land of Hebei also began to be turbulent. Yuan Shao has three sons, and there may be some intrigue about the inheritance.
"Mr. Gu, what are you bringing me here for? If you don't go to class, Zijian is about to make trouble again."
A boy of fourteen or five years old stood behind a man in white in front of a workshop and said helplessly.
Gu Nan looked at the gate of the workshop, and said to the young man behind him.
"Zihuan, do you still remember that I made a bet with you a few years ago?"
Hearing Gu Nan's words, Cao Pi touched the purse on his waist unconsciously, took a step back, and showed some embarrassment.
"Mr. Gu, are you short of money again and want to cheat money from me?"
At this time, he has sword eyebrows and star eyes, carrying a precious sword, and he is already a handsome young man.
What is cheating money...
Gu Nan's forehead was big, and he reached out and slapped Cao Pi on the forehead.
"When did I cheat money from you? I'm talking about books. Do you still remember that I told you that if I get enough books for the world to read, you will help me build a room that is big enough to read?" The academy where people from all over the world come to?"
"This matter."
Cao Pi thought about it. Although he made this bet at the time, no one would take this bet seriously if he told it to anyone. When he was a child, he would still think about it, but he didn't mention it for a while, and gradually forgot about it. Now that Gu Nan mentioned it, he remembered it again.
Then his face became weird, and he pointed to the small workshop in front of him and said.
"Mr. Gu, don't tell me that all those books are in there."
"Yes." Gu Nan raised his shoulders.
The corner of Cao Pi's mouth twitched and he coughed.
"Mr. Gu, I'm already fifteen years old. Can you stop fooling me like a child? Besides, Zijian won't believe you if you tell me about it. If you're short of money, I'll lend you some." That's it, but you have to pay me back next month."
So why does this kid always feel that I am short of money.
Gu Nan walked ahead with a headache and led the way, and opened the door of the workshop.
"Anyway, just come in with me and have a look."
