A middle-aged man led two men in.

The man was about thirty years old, with eagle eyes and a pale face.

Even if he was smiling, there was still a bit of interest between his eyebrows, and there was a force between his eyes that made the people around him avoid their eyes. He wore a long sword at his waist and a military robe.

There are some calluses on the tiger's mouth on the palm, which can be seen to be a commonly used blade, and the sword on the waist is also different from the ordinary ritual sword, which should not be just an ornamental thing.

He was followed by two people, both of whom were eight feet tall, with swords at their waists, and they were both fierce and brave. But one of them had a more evil face, and the other looked more dignified.

Gu Nan watched the three of them walk in, retracted his gaze, and took a bite of noodles.

Lingqi also raised her eyes to look, but she only glanced at it, as if she was used to it, and withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to eat noodles.

This made Gu Nan a little surprised, two of the three were fierce, but Lingqi didn't have some fear.

The three of them sat down and sat next to Gu Nan's table.

"Shopkeeper, let's have three bowls of noodles."

The man in the lead shouted.

"Hey, right away."

The shopkeeper inside seemed to be familiar with this man, and it seemed that this man did come often.

I smiled and agreed, and began to cook noodles.

The two people sitting next to the man in the martial robe looked around the store, and finally their eyes fell on Gu Nan's table sitting on the side at the same time.

The black stick on the table made them all pay attention to it at the same time, it was the intuition of the warriors, in their opinion, the black stick should be a sharp weapon.

The two exchanged glances with each other, and they were a little more careful.

The man glanced at the men sitting on either side, and saw that both of them were a little nervous, and knew that they should have discovered something.

But he just laughed and patted the two of them on the shoulder and said.

"Yuan Rang, Miaocai, you don't always have to be so careful, come out and eat a pasta, just let it go."

The man called Yuan Rang frowned and glanced at the man in the martial robe and said.

"Mengde, it's better to be careful, the army is about to go out, and the lord must not lose."

The warrior-robed man let go of his hand, shook his head and smiled absently.

"This is Chen Liu, what can I do?"

"Mengde ······" The man named Yuan Rang wanted to say something, but was stopped by the man in the martial robe.

"Okay, it's okay to eat noodles."

Glancing at the man in the martial robe, the other two looked at each other helplessly, nodded and said.

"It's fine."

"Hahaha." The man in the martial robe laughed and said to the shopkeeper in the store.

"Shopkeeper, a few more jars of wine, and a few side dishes."

Originally, the noodle shop did not sell alcoholic food, but it is not impossible to make some for regular customers, let alone such valuable customers.

Soon the shopkeeper brought the wine and food, and the three of them took the wine bowl and ate it.

Cold wine accompanied by side dishes, a few people talking and laughing, is a rare joy in summer.

Chatting about trivial things, after a few rounds of drinking.

The man in the martial robe suddenly whispered to the people around him.

"Miaocai, how much strength does our army have now?"

The voice was very soft, and the people sitting in the noodle restaurant naturally couldn't hear it clearly, but for Gu Nan, it was like saying it in his ear.

The man called Miaocai was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious, and he said in a suppressed voice.

"Now there are five thousand."

"Five thousand." The warrior-robed man muttered in a low voice, hooking the corners of his mouth.

"It's already a military force."

As he spoke, he held the wine bowl in his hand and looked at the shaking wine.

The wine reflected his eyes, which were a little complicated, and he whispered to himself.

"The power of the princes, this time, will break Dong Zhuo."

"Five thousand, that's too little."

A voice suddenly came from the side, the warrior-robed man's eyes were startled, and the two people beside him raised one hand to their waists at the same time, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

The person who spoke was a white-robed man sitting next to her, and the black stick from before was on her desk.

The warrior-robed man turned his head and his gaze fell on the white-robed man.

frowned slightly: "Mr. Fang is talking to Cao?" ”

"I can't call it sir." Gu Nan chuckled lightly and pressed his hat.

"I'm just a wandering alchemist, and I heard the name of General Cao, so I came to see him."

Meng De, who calls himself Cao, and then looks at his face, this person should be Cao Cao.

And the two people beside him should be Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan.

"Oh?" Cao Cao's face was stunned for a moment, and he asked, "I don't know why Mr. wants to see me?" ”

"I just want to come and see what the traitor of Qingping is and the hero of troubled times." Gu Nan said with a smile.

Cao Cao's gaze froze.

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan looked at each other, and at the same time got up and prepared to step forward, but Cao Cao stretched out his hand to stop them.

Gu Nan put the chopsticks on the table, as if he was not ready to eat any more.

The atmosphere in the noodle shop was a little somber.

Lingqi raised her head and looked at the unfinished noodles in Gu Nan's bowl.

He pursed his lips and cautioned on the side.

"Master, don't waste food."

"Ahem." Gu Nan choked, looked at Lingqi with shame, touched her head and said, "I'll finish eating it in a while." ”

"Hmm." Lingqi's face flushed, and she continued to bow her head and eat noodles.

Cao Cao, who was sitting opposite, also woke up, looked at Lingqi sitting at the table, and smiled slightly: "Mr.'s students are cute." ”

As he spoke, he patted Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan beside him to signal that they didn't have to be like this, and then asked Gu Nan with a smile.

"I don't know where you heard that?"

Jun Qingping's traitor, the hero of the troubled times is Xu Shao's comment with him back then, because he coerced 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 then took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick basket and prepared to finish the noodles.

Cao Cao's brows lowered a little, and instead of continuing to talk about it, he asked instead.

"What did the gentleman mean when he said that 5,000 people are too few?"

Five thousand is not a lot, but it is not a small number.

And what Cao Cao cared about was whether Gu Nan knew what his five thousand people were used for.

"If you want to defeat the army of Chang'an, 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 be.

······

"How did Mr. know that he was going to enter the army of Chang'an?"

"It's just hearsay." Gu Nan still replied.

Cao Cao's eyes showed a bit of caution for the first time.

Now that the princes have not risen, the matter of the joint crusade against Dong Zhuo is only secretly spread among the relevant princes, just waiting for one fell swoop. How did Gu Nan, a monk, know, he didn't believe it was really hearsay.

However, on the surface, Cao Cao's expression was still calm, and he said with a light smile: "If you want to defeat the army of Chang'an, it is naturally impossible to ······ the first army."
