The grain and grass of Wuchao were burned by a fire, and Yuan Shao, who went to help, was killed by Cao Cao. Gao Ran and Zhang He, who attacked Cao Ying, could not capture Cao Ying for a long time, until they learned the news of Wuchao and led the people to surrender to Cao Cao.

The setting sun outside casts into the camp, making the people and objects in the camp look a little more colorful, no longer just sand and armor. In a few days, Yuan's army will retreat, and Cao's army will be able to return to the army.

Cao Cao led the light cavalry back to the camp to deal with the affairs of Gao Ran and Zhang He, and it was already the evening of the second day.

Gu Nan sat casually in the open space, holding a cloth in his hand, wiping his spear.

But some of the blood stains on the spear had solidified there, and they couldn't be wiped off, and the original white tassel turned into a dirty red.

There are many gaps in the blades of the spear, and there are a few curled blades, and the mottled body seems to indicate what kind of battle the spear has undergone.

Gu Nan looked at the spear in her hand and thought, maybe she should change it. She doesn't remember either, but she changed a few spears, a few spears. But every time it's replaced, it's mostly like this.

Cao Cao didn't go back to the camp tent either, and sat beside Gu Nan, in the open space in the barracks. The wound on his hand had already scabbed, and he raised his eyes to see the clouds floating leisurely in the sky, revealing the glow of the setting sun, as if red.

As far as the eye can see, there are all connected tents and armored soldiers passing by.

Putting the spear on the ground, Gu Nan saw Cao Cao looking into the distance, and he also looked at it, and it was endless.

However, at this time, it is not clear whether it is leisurely or lonely.

"Mr. Gu." Cao Cao said to Gu Nan out loud.

Gu Nan looked back: "What's wrong?" ”

"I've got some." With a red cloud in his eyes, Cao Cao said: "I can't see this troubled world clearly." ”

When I was a teenager, I had great ambitions and thought that one man and one horse should travel all over the world. When he was in his prime, he was in troubled times, thinking that one person and one sword should calm the world. And he is now almost past middle age, but he can't see the world he is in.

Can not see clearly.

Gu Nan looked down at the spear she had placed on the ground, she had lived for hundreds of years and had never seen it clearly.

The general trend of the world, divided for a long time must be combined for a long time, and it may be just a loss of human nature.

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Nan patted the dust on his hands, stood up, and asked Cao Cao with a smile.

"Mengde, do you want to see the sword dance?"

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, and before he could answer, Gu Nan had already pulled out the grid and stood there.

The blade is slender and chilly. As the wind moved, so did the sword, slicing through an arc of light. The sword light is pure white, and the white light is a little cold and cold. The person holding the sword light was like a light hong, and the white clothes flipped over, driving the sword light to turn.

The blade of the sword buzzed in the wind, like a person whispering in his ear, whispering the story of the sword. And in the sword light, there are rounds of spring, summer, autumn and winter, laughter and frolic, and battlefield disputes.

But in the end, these are no more, only the hesitant silence and a distant mood remain.

Cao Cao was fascinated, and the white-clothed man with a sword turned around, and the sword light illuminated her cheeks. Cao Cao saw her eyes, which were as cold as sword light. It's as if she is the sword in her hand, and what the sword tells is her story.

A gust of wind swept through the camp, blowing the camp flag, blowing the camp tent, blowing the sand, and blowing the sword light. Cao Cao's heart trembled, he didn't know if it was the wind or his heart moved.

He just felt that the sword light was bleak, and said everything he thought in his heart.

The wind stopped, the sword light did not go, and the blade returned to its sheath. The man in white was facing the sky with a sword, turned his head, and smiled.

"How?"

In Cao Cao's eyes, the man's side was soaked in golden glow.

"Mr. Gu." Cao Cao smiled frustratedly.

"You shouldn't have been born in this troubled world, you deserve a better world."

Gu Nan shook his head with a smile: "I'm not worth it." ”

She alone is not worth it, she has no ambition, no ability to level the world, no mind to tolerate all people, and no decision to help the world and save the world.

Empty for immortality, all she can do is shallow, so she is not worth it, there are too many people who are more worthy of a better world than her.

Gu Nan left alone, and Cao Cao stayed where he was and stood up.

Some of the old bodies stood very straight, with blood in their hands, and their swords were raised. He took a deep breath and gently pointed at the dome, leaving his four words.

"Troubled times should go."

······

Yuan's army was defeated, and Cao Cao led his army back to Xuchang. Yuan Shao died in battle, he was usually known as a virtuous person, and after his death, the people of Hebei had many sorrows. And the land of Hebei has also begun to turmoil, Yuan Shao has three sons, and about the inheritance, I am afraid that there will be some intrigues.

"Mr. Gu, what are you bringing me here for? If you don't go to class, Zijian will be embarrassed again. ”

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy stood behind a man in white in front of a workshop and said helplessly.

Gu Nan looked at the door of the workshop and said to the young man behind him.

"Zihuan, do you remember that I made a bet with you a few years ago?"

Cao Pi heard Gu Nan's words, unconsciously touched the money bag on his waist, took a step back, and showed a look of embarrassment.

"Mr. Gu, are you short of money again and want to cheat money from me?"

At this time, he was already a bright young man.

What does it mean to cheat money to spend······

Gu Nan's forehead was big, and he reached out and hit Cao Pi's head.

"When did I cheat money from you, I'm talking about books. Do you remember that I told you that if I got enough books for the world to read, you would help me build a college that would be enough for the people of the world to read? ”

"That's it."

Cao Pi thought about it, although he made this bet at the time, but no one would take this bet seriously if he heard it. When he was a child, he also compared accounts, but later he didn't mention it for a while, and he gradually forgot about it. Now that Gu Nan mentioned it, he thought about it again.

Then his face turned strange, and he pointed to the small workshop in front of him.

"Mr. Gu, don't tell me those books are here."

"yes." Gu Nan raised his shoulders.

The corners of Cao Pi's mouth twitched and he coughed.

"Mr. Gu, I'm fifteen years old, can you stop fooling me as a child, and if this kind of thing is told to Zijian, he won't believe it. If you don't have money to spend, I'll lend you some, but you'll have to pay me back next month. ”

That's why does this kid always think I'm short of money to spend.

Gu Nan walked in front with a headache and led the way, opening the door of the workshop.

"Anyway, you can come in with me and have a look."
