Mount Tai, above the clouds.

It is winter, everything is withering and the cold wind is killing us.

The sky is filled with clouds and mist, and a light layer of white frost is condensed on the top of the mountain. It is crystal clear and sparkles with sparkling waves under the sunlight, which is really moving.

Looking far into the distance, I saw a small pavilion on the top of the mountain. It was simply built with a few pieces of wood, but it could also protect it from wind and rain, so it had served its purpose well.

The breeze was blowing gently, and two figures were sitting in the pavilion. At this moment, they were blown by the breeze, causing waves of sleep, combined with the surrounding clouds and mist, and the smoke rising from the tea brewing on the stone table in the pavilion. , It’s really like being among the gods, so cool!

There are two people sitting in the pavilion, one of whom is wearing a purple-gold imperial robe. There are various mysterious patterns engraved on the imperial robe. If you look closely, you will feel that it is extremely profound, as if it contains some kind of traces of the Tao. In line with the mysterious man's calm and authoritative temperament, although his face was calm and colorless, he still felt infinitely majestic. The other person was wearing a black warrior uniform, but there was no decoration at all on the robe, and his whole body was plain black. However, from a distance, this ordinary man was wearing ordinary clothes, but he still had a sense of admiration!

The man in imperial robes picked up a white porcelain cup with various patterns carved on it, which looked elegant and beautiful. He took a gentle sip of the tea and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was savoring the mellow aroma of the tea. Soon, the man's eyes opened, and there was a glimmer of light, but it was fleeting, and his lips moved slightly and he said.

"Mengde, you and I have known each other for seven years! Just looking back at the past, I feel like it was yesterday, and all the past is still in my mind. It's just that time is like a torrential river, flowing away and it is difficult to return! "

Listening to the words of the man in imperial robes in front of him, the man named Meng De, who is now the hussar general of the Yu Kingdom, Cao Cao, who controls countless lives and deaths, also took a sip of tea, his eyes were slightly closed, and a look appeared on his face. The color of memories.

After a while, he came back to his senses and said with some emotion: "Yes, Your Majesty! When you met me in the Luoyang court, I watched you with my own eyes, step by step, replacing the big man and becoming the emperor." Became the new master of this world!"

After listening to Cao Cao's words, the man in imperial robes, Zhong Yu, the master of the Da Yu Empire, turned his head and looked at the rising sun, his thoughts far away.

Time seems to have returned to seven years ago. At that time, he had just had the adventure only three or four years ago. Everything was full of passion for him.

At that time, he was ambitious and tried to conquer everything.

At that time, he was ambitious and wanted to live forever.

At that time, he personally led an army of 100,000 people, entered Luoyang City with arrogance, and personally ended the Han Dynasty that had been inherited for four hundred years. Afterwards, he embarked on an ambitious expedition to the north and south, and everything seemed so insignificant in his eyes.

It was also at that moment that his heart completely changed.

"Yes! I still remember that at that time, Aiqing, you were still a little Cavalry Captain. Among all the princes, you could only stand in an inconspicuous corner in the back row, but you exuded that sharpness in your eyes. , but it overshadowed everyone else’s style!”

Cao Cao was a little emotional when he heard this.

At that time, he was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, when he was full of vigor and heroic spirit. And everything he has done at this age has attracted everyone's attention.

I still remember that in the majestic official office, there were majestic government officials standing neatly on both sides. They were holding five-color sticks set by Cao Cao himself, and looked at the man among them who still looked arrogant with cold eyes.

But the person kneeling under the hall, being judged, was the uncle of the eunuch who held all the power in the court.

At that time when the conversation was changing and everyone was afraid of those people with beardless faces, this young man who was still young and still full of fantasies in his mind bravely stood up and punished this law-breaker. due justice.

I even remember that when the world was in chaos, ant thieves wearing yellow scarves swarmed everywhere and turned the whole man into a pot of porridge. It was at this moment that this young man stepped forward and led his elite soldiers and generals to conquer the north and south, and made great achievements in battle.

The most unforgettable thing is that this young man, leading his thousands of elite soldiers, solemnly received the military talisman from the person in front of him on the commander's platform. Then he crossed the Great Wall and left the border fortress without hesitation, imitating the ancient Wei Huo, pursuing death and chasing north, once again establishing a great military power for the men of the Han family.

"Your Majesty may not know it yet. In fact, when I first met you, I still wanted to imitate Jing Ke and eliminate a powerful enemy for my great man! It's just..."

At this point, Cao Cao stopped talking. He picked up the teacup in his hand and drank it in one gulp.

"Haha! Yes, I'm afraid in your hearts, as long as you except me, the big man can be restored at any time, and the world can regain peace again!" After saying this lightly, Zhong Yu's face felt a little bit Smile.

"What your Majesty said is true. I had this idea at the beginning. Now that I think about it carefully, I find it very ridiculous. Now I feel a little ashamed! But fortunately, I did not put it into action, so I was able to follow Your Majesty and see such a situation. Scenery!" Cao Cao laughed a few times, feeling really glad that he didn't do anything stupid. Otherwise, his current fate may be the same as that of the Jiangdong Tiger, Sun Jian, whom he admired and admired very much at the time!

How can it be like now, following His Majesty to conquer the heavens, seeing the beauty of the world one after another, and appreciating the characters that exist in legends one after another, which is enough to satisfy me for a lifetime.

Afterwards, the two drank tea with each other and chatted about some past events, which made them sigh.

A whole morning passed like this.

Zhong Yu stood up and came to the eaves of the pavilion. He stood with his hands behind his hands and watched the clouds rise and fall. Cao Cao also stood up and stood around.

"My dear, I heard that you have been talking behind my back, saying that the king of a country cannot have an heir, and the leader of a country cannot have an heir. You are very concerned about my personal affairs!"

In the midst of the calm, this voice suddenly sounded. Cao Cao, who was admiring the beautiful scenery behind him, was so shocked that he lost his mood in an instant. He was sweating all over his body and he was terrified.

As a minister, it is not right to talk about the prince in private, let alone being discovered by his prince and asked in person how to avoid making others feel fearful and ashamed.

"Your Majesty, it is true that this is the case. This is the only way for me to violate the principles of being a minister. I also know that your Majesty's destiny is long-term and will last forever. However, I am still a mortal. Since childhood, I have been taught that there are three types of unfilial piety, and that having no descendants is the greatest. It's normal to have such worries!" Cao Cao's mind was racing, and thousands of thoughts were rushing through his mind, but he still answered truthfully in the end.

After carefully reading what I wrote earlier, I found that it was so terrible that I couldn’t stand it. Now I plan to try to change the style. It may be a bit abrupt and immature. I hope everyone can understand. In the next chapter, the heroine will appear. You might as well guess who she is
