Come.The robe slowly fell on the ground, leaving only Xun Yu's thin body, walking towards Cao Cao's general boat in the raging fire.

Zhou Yu never called for him to come back.

It was doomed the moment he took off the robe he had given him.

He left cleanly, taking nothing and leaving nothing behind.

Only the flames of Chibi remained, igniting the dark blue night sky.

Many years later, no one will remember this turning around, and no one may know that Xun Yu has ever been to this battlefield.No one knows what this person did, and no one knows what caused the fire in Chibi.The things in the history books are always the most superficial things.The truth, forever submerged under the water.

Only the red lotus night fire winds thousands of miles.How many years later, only the smoke of the Battle of Chibi remained, transpiring in the history books.

The truth, no one knows.

Cao's army was defeated, Zhou Yu returned to the shore and immediately led Qingqi to chase after him. Cao Cao and his men hurriedly retreated from Huarong Road.

The sky was overcast, and it was heavy on the top of the head.Cao Cao and others stepped on their horses and retreated hastily.

But in a moment, the rainstorm suddenly arrived.The road was so muddy that it was impossible to move even an inch.

"It's raining all night when the house leaks," Sima Yi cursed secretly, "Why is it still raining so much at this time?"

"Come here." Cao Pi held out his hand to him, "Come on a horse with me."

Sima Yi glanced at him and said, "It's too conspicuous to ride with you, Shizi...?"

"You stand out by riding a horse yourself?" Cao Pi smiled and gestured to the back, "How many people don't have a horse ride, and you have no identity, maybe you will be dragged down?"

Sima Yi frowned, he absolutely didn't want to be pulled into the mud, so he passed his hand over, and Cao Pi pulled him onto his horse.

"Close your eyes for a while." Cao Pi whispered: "It will be very miserable."

Before he could finish speaking, the pursuers gradually approached him!

"Xu Chu's back!" Cao Cao yelled, "The infantry filled the road with grass, and the others advanced at full speed!"

Sima Yi was sitting in front of Cao Pi, and suddenly looked back at this moment.

Behind are the remnants of the army.

——It is hard to imagine how powerful and menacing this army was when it came.It's hard to imagine that this army still had a one-sided advantage an hour ago, it's hard to imagine how determined this army is to win, and how vigorous the hundreds of thousands of sailors are.

But now, the remnants of this army were fleeing back in dismay, the disabled soldiers being left behind, most of them without horses.Wearing the simplest equipment, they marched forward on the muddy road, holding straw to fill the road, and let the riders pass by.

He shivered slightly.The cold wind poured in from the sleeves, whizzing cold.

The heavy rain fell, and Cao Pi stuffed Sima Yi into his arms.

"cold?"

Sima Yi was silent for a moment, then still smiled and chose Cao Pi's favorite words and said: "It's very warm to lean against you."

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and only Xu Chu and his troops could resist. Cao Cao waved his hand, "Abandon all the luggage and advance at full speed!"

There was the sound of horseshoes, and then the sound of various things being thrown to the ground.

Baggage?

At this time, what do you think is the biggest burden?

Cao Pi led Sima Yi forward at full speed.During this period, I don't know how many people were buried under the horse's hooves or shot by arrows from behind.

"drive!"

The cold arrow swished past his ear!In the next moment, he might be buried here!

Cao Pi's face was extremely calm, without any panic.

"You can experience such a feeling." Cao Pi said heavily, "You follow me, there are many such things."

Sima Yi was silent after listening.

"Why, no regrets?"

Sima Yi slowly closed his eyes, and said, "I don't regret it."

Cao Pi chuckled, "Oh?"

"To be with you," Sima Yi's hand that was holding the rein was on Cao Pi's, "I don't regret it."

sound of rain.

The sound of horseshoes stepping on the muddy ground can be heard clearly for an instant.

Is this, the truth, or a lie?

Cao Pi just smiled slightly, and shouted in a low voice, "Drive!"

51.

At this moment, a shallow figure appeared in front of him.

It's Xun Yu.He pushed aside the wet branches and stood on the muddy ground, but he was still looking handsome.

Everyone couldn't help but change color.

It can be said that the unknown appearance and disappearance of Xun Yu is an important reason for the deviation of the trajectory of this battle.No one knows what Cao Cao will do.

Xun Yu himself didn't know.

From the moment he took off Zhou Yu's clothes, he had already let go of everything.

heavy rain.

He and Cao Cao looked at each other.

At this time, even if Cao Cao stabbed Xun Yu to death with a single sword, Cao Pi would not be surprised at all.

But Cao Cao sighed slowly while everyone was watching.

Said: "Go back."

Then he stretched out his hand and pulled Xun Yu onto the horse.

Cao Pi looked at him, then lowered his eyes.

Even Cao Cao will always have something he can't let go of.Everyone will have it.

Zhou Yu stood at Jiangtou.

Before the Battle of Chibi, he also stood in Jiangtou like this.After the Battle of Red Cliff, he was also standing here, but his mood was completely different.

The dark blue sky stretched to the farthest place, and the fiery red light shone brightly.

The crackling sound was still in my ears.

Cao Jun retreated.

The warm light of the fire shone on his face, as if he was bathed in the sunshine of Shu County back then.

Bob, did you see that?

I once promised you that I will guide thousands of miles of rivers and mountains with you.I once promised you that I will take the supreme position with you, climb to the top of the ten thousand mountains, and walk to the source of the ten thousand sources.

After you were gone, I once stabbed our sword into the main hall, and made an oath to unify the Central Plains to the sound of drums.

No matter how tired I am, I always remember it.

There was a scorching fire on his face.Beside him was the icy Jiang Feng.

"I will definitely find out why." Zhou Yu moved her thin lips, "No matter what price you pay."

The cheers of the coalition army came from afar.

It sounded from the bottom of the valley, and finally slowly amplified to the ears.

At this moment, I am ecstatic for our victory.

52.

It rained a little in the morning, and the ground was a little damp.

"Hands are like a catkin, skin is like creamy fat, collar is like a grub...teeth like a gourd rhinoceros."

Slowly walking over, it was Zhou Yu in the red shirt and white lapel.

He carried the wine and vegetables, walked slowly into the forest, and saw a person.

He smiled slightly, and then sat down cross-legged, which was quite chic.

"It's been a long time since I came to see you." Zhou Yu poured a glass, drank it by himself, and said slowly, "I will punish myself three times."

Sure enough, he poured two more glasses, without thinking about it, and drank it happily.

On the slightly blue grass, in the misty rain, he raised his slender and fair neck, lined with a red shirt and white skirt, and long black hair.

"It's been a long time since I saw Xiao Shao." He poured a cup for the other person, and then Xu Xu said, "This kid is really good, just like you. I think he never bullies Xun'er, which is why he misses you." He pursed his lips and smiled After a while, "Xun'er really likes him."

When he said this, he paused slightly, "Your son is going to abduct my son, let's see how I deal with you later."

There was a pleasant sound when the wine was poured into the glass.

"I'm so tired recently," he said, rubbing his legs. "I have a lot of things to do every day, and I have no one to accompany me."

I blame you.

"Did you see it a few days ago?" Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and smiled like a child, "The red one is your favorite, right?

"Back then, you said that when you ascended to the throne of God, you would put thousands of miles of red training in the world, so that your favorite color could be spread everywhere in sight."

Smokey willows and drizzle, green mounds, red clothes.

"—Bofu."

Sun Ce's mausoleum is with his father and grandfather.In the majestic Jongmyo, there are burning fireworks in front of it.

But Sun Ce's tomb is in a place that only Zhou Yu knows.

Every time Zhou Yu finished a major event, he would come to see him.In Zhou Yu's words, only in this way can he be qualified to meet him.

He often just kneels like this without saying anything.It was as if both sides were silent, and they didn't leave until late at night.

He has always come here alone, never bringing anyone with him.No one knows about it except him.

They stared, spanning the entire vicissitudes of life.

Suddenly there was the sound of rustling footsteps behind her.

——This must be the sound of human footsteps, Zhou Yu couldn't be more clear.Zhou Yu has never seen anyone other than himself come here, nor has he seen any traces of cleaning, nor any other sacrifices.

who is it?

"Those who know me say that I am worried."

Zhou Yu heard singing behind him.

"Those who don't know me, what can I ask for?"

Before he finished singing, he already knew who it was.

"It's you?"

Zhou Yu didn't look back, but still turned his back to him, "Why are you here?"

"Come in by accident."

"Accidental?" Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "This place is at the top of the mountain, far away from the crowds, how did you walk in by accident?"

In normal times, Zhou Yu would not have asked such a rhetorical question.If he comes, he will come.

But this place is different.

This is a place that belongs only to the two of them.

"It's rare for you to be so aggressive." Zhuge Liang walked behind Zhou Yu with a wry smile, "It seems that you are really a very important person."

On the stone tablet in front of the tomb, there are two characters vaguely, but they are obscured by the grass beside them, so they can't be seen clearly.

"It's me..." Zhou Yu considered for a while, and then said slowly: "The most important person."

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly while holding the wine.

As smart as him, how could he not know who is under the loess.

He sat next to Zhou Yu, poured a glass of wine for the man from the earth, and placed it in front of the stele.

Cold smoke and light grass.

"There is a lot of grass here." Zhuge Liang looked around, "The scenery is not bad, it is a good place."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. "He said before his death that he wanted his grave to be covered with grass."

"Oh?" Zhuge Liang frowned and smiled, "Being different. For what?"

Zhou Yu looked at the faint words on the stone tablet and smiled slightly.

"He will not be found for anyone but me."

Zhuge Liang's expression froze.

"After I die, no one will find him again."

— just for one person.

"This way..." Zhuge Liang said slowly, "Won't it be too desolate?"

"Desolation?" Zhou Yu smiled, as if he didn't care at all, "Didn't I accompany him?"

Live together and die together.

"It seems to be your lover."

"Oh?" Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback, then turned her head away, "My lover?...Why not a mentor, companion, or best friend?"

Zhuge Liang gave him a deep look.

"Your look."

Zhou Yu paused.

"I've known you for so long, and you've never shown such an expression." Zhuge Liang said word by word, "I've never shown such an expression to your mentor, your companion, or your best friend."

Zhou Yu was silent.

"I recognize this expression." Zhuge Liang's eyes slowly fell on the unclear stone tablet, "When my mother missed my deceased father... she often showed this expression to his relics."

There is a sound of falling leaves.

"This is the expression of a person gazing at his lover."

53.

Light smoke fluttered gently from between the two of them, carrying the faint chill of autumn and winter.

The autumn leaves all over the mountain are withered and yellow on the branches, but they are layered on one mountain after another.

There are thousands of miles of open fields under the mountain.There is a faint taste of reeds.

"Kong Ming," Zhou Yu raised his eyes slightly, looking at the stele.

"In my life, up to now, I have experienced many things. Good things, bad things, smooth and difficult things, I have experienced them all.

"I have also experienced the vigor and sorrow, and I have also experienced the grief."

What he said was rather desolate.The autumn wind blew across his cheeks, curling his black hair.

"The person in the tomb is the most important person in my life.

"He once told me, no matter what you do, don't regret it. Regret is not a manly thing."

Having said this, he paused slightly.

I don't know if it was a pause or a choke.

"Regret... I, Zhou Yu, spent my entire life as a military general. I have never regretted it."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were deep.

"But being myself, I have one thing that I will never forgive myself in my life. I regret it every day and every night."

Every day, every night.

"I once asked myself, why are you so persistent?"

"Why?" Zhuge Liang muttered, "I asked you before. Why?"

"What do you think?" Zhou Yu smiled wryly, as if he had tasted the bitterness of the past in the autumn wind, "There is always no reason to be attached to this kind of thing. What if I ask you?" Zhou Yu cast his eyes on Zhuge Liang, "I Ask you, why are you so persistent, do you know?"

Zhuge Liang fell silent.

After a long while, he spoke softly, but did not answer Zhou Yu's question, "I also have one thing that I regret until now."

"What is it?"

"That year...the Shangyuan Festival." Zhuge Liang straightened up slowly, and then stood up with his legs supported. "If I'm not so stubborn, it will be fine."

"Shangyuan Festival? What year..."

"That's all." Zhuge Liang patted his knees, lowered his eyes, and said with a faint smile: "It's all over. Actually, it's nothing."

I don't know what bird called, shaking the forest.

Twilight spreads.

"It's getting late," Zhuge Liang said, "It's time to go back, the dew is heavy at night."

"Okay." Zhou Yu opened the bag beside him, and then took out a piano. "I, let's go after playing."

Put your fingers lightly on the strings, just like back then.

But these hands now have many more wounds than they did back then.On the fingers, no one held them in the palm of their hands, and then carefully sucked the wounds one by one.

Zhou Yu paused for a while, but didn't play anything.

Zhuge Liang also had no words.For a while, only the sound of the mountain wind remained.

Slowly, Zhou Yu leaned slightly on the qin, her long hair slid down and covered the qin.

Dark red clothes.

The bird song of "cuckoo" echoes in the mountains, and the setting sun shines brightly on the fertile fields.

"That's all." Zhou Yu stood up slowly, and took the piano back, "I won't play it anymore. I just feel sad after playing it."

He stood up, then smoothed the hair beside his ear, and let out a long sigh.

"Let's go."

Zhuge Liang sank his eyes, but turned around together.Zhou Yu walked past him with Qin in his arms, seemingly without hesitation.

Too.Hesitating is nothing but increasing sadness.

Zhou Yu drifted away, but Zhuge Liang remained where he was.

Slowly he turned around, facing the tomb covered by weeds, "We finally met."

Zhou Yu's call came from a distance, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, then turned and left.

The jackdaws are light grass, the sky is far away.

"A good night is never short," Zhuge Liang sang softly, "I only hate...the love is long."

A farewell by the river.

"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell." Zhuge Liang turned around and said lightly: "Let's go here."

Zhou Yu raised his lips slightly, "Okay. Have a good trip."

"By the way," Zhuge Liang put his two fingers in his mouth and whistled. A pigeon flew over from the big boat behind him and landed on his shoulder.

"This is for you." The pigeon jumped into Zhuge Liang's hand, and he handed it to Zhou Yu, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to see each other again... I hope we can keep in touch often. A letter from time to time is also good." .It has been so many years between you and me, there is no need to be extravagant."

Zhou Yu took it slowly, and Zhuge Liang said again: "If there is any accident, please notify me in time."

Zhou Yu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "We are so far apart, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold by the time you find out."

Zhuge Liang smiled back, but said nothing.

In fact, because of the Jingzhou incident, the two armies have reached a level of tension.

But they deliberately did not mention this matter.

"Just leave it alone."

——Changfeng thousands of miles to see off passengers.

"This sentence has been said many years ago... I will say it again today."

Zhuge Liang turned around and glanced at Zhou Yu.

The long wind blew his long hair, and he continued: "The next time we meet, it may be the enemy."

There was a loud bang, resounding through the clouds.

The big boat was behind Zhuge Liang, and the voice of urging gradually sounded.There was a person standing on the deck, it was Zhao Yun.

Zhuge Liang looked at Zhou Yu deeply, deeply.It was like looking at him from the inside out.

He tasted the bitterness in his mouth, and said lightly: "That's fine, you don't have to worry about it."

A strong wind suddenly picked up, wrapping the coolness of the river, Zhuge Liang opened and closed his lips a few times, but Zhou Yu didn't hear clearly.

"……what?"

Zhuge Liang smiled, then turned and left.

Just like Zhou Yu just now, without any hesitation.

If that's the case, then I won't see you until I die.

At that time, neither Zhou Yu nor Zhuge Liang knew that it would be the last time they would meet.

The long river is wide and wild, and the faint fragrance of reeds permeates between the clothes.The sun sets and the rest of the day is clear.

Many years ago, in the winter with an accident, the boy who was drunk and accidentally chased and fell into the river.

That red dress, that feather fan.

I have loved him deeply all my life, accompanied him, worried about him, and wanted to take care of him.

How many days and nights have he studied the art of war, just to catch up with him as soon as possible.Every time it snows heavily, I can think of his figure standing in the boundless snow.The books he caressed, the bed he slept on, the words he said... the palm of his right hand seemed to still have that warm touch.

But in the end, he still took someone else's hand and left his life as a passerby.

Finally let it go.

55.

Things in Jingzhou are getting more and more stalemate.After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Jun's vitality was seriously injured. After a short rest, he has recovered a lot, but it is still difficult to extend his hand to the south of the Yangtze River.For a while, the three-legged confrontation became clear.

In a blink of an eye, it is already summer.The slight chirping of cicadas disturbed people a little.

In the early morning of this day, Cao Cao summoned his disciples for a long-lost gathering in the side hall.It's still cool.

It has been a long time since Cao Cao called his disciples together to discuss anything.Especially after Guo Jia's death.

"It's been a long time since we had a drink together," Cao Cao said with a grin, still looking high-spirited, "There's only one thing I want to announce."

"Your servants are all ears."

"Now the general situation of the world has become slightly clearer." He drank a cup and continued: "We are sitting on the old career of a big man, it's time to let go of our hands and feet and give it a go." He glanced at everyone present , "I want to be called the King of Wei."

Everyone's complexion changed, and their expressions were different.

Kong Rong raised his eyebrows, his expression seemed resentful, "Prime Minister, please think again."

Cao Cao seemed to have talked about it a long time ago, and said indifferently, "I've thought twice about it."

"but--"

"Time doesn't wait for me. Do you want to wait for the people of the world to eat away at the world I'm waiting for?" Cao Cao's expression turned serious, "Such a thing is absolutely not allowed to happen!"

"The prime minister's 'I'll wait'," Kong Rong said without fear, "Is it the Han Dynasty, or—"

Everyone looked shocked!

"Wen Ju!" Cui Yan looked at him and spoke in a timely manner. "Prime Minister, although the current situation in the world is not very clear, after all, the Han Dynasty is still there. If you easily claim the emperor, you may lose your excuse, and be pushed down by those sanctimonious miscreants with the slogan 'Qingjun's side'!"

As soon as Cui Yan spoke, everyone nodded in agreement.

This is also what Cao Cao fears.

"Then Ji Gui," Cao Cao looked at him, "what do you think is reasonable?"

Cui Yan didn't want to be in the limelight at first, but when asked, he just said calmly: "Waiting for the opportunity. The prime minister has auspicious clouds to protect his body, and the image of dragons and nobles, and he will eventually become the hegemony of the world."

For this answer, Cao Cao was satisfied but not satisfied.

At this time, he suddenly thought of Guo Jia.Ruyi speaks bluntly, although it is disrespectful, but he can always speak from his heart.

Guo Jia's position has been reserved for him.No one can replace Guo Jia's position.

He slowly looked away, and then saw the silent Xun Yu.

He hasn't gone out for a long time.After the Battle of Chibi, he was basically only in his own room.No one put him under house arrest, it's just that he didn't want to come out.

Maybe because he hadn't come out for a long time, his face became paler and sicker, which made people worry unknowingly.

He half-cast his eyes and sat there as if he didn't exist.

Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat.

——After the Battle of Chibi, the relationship between Cao Cao and Xun Yu became subtle.Cao Cao didn't punish him, but he didn't seem to trust him as much as before, but he was still considered a celebrity in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao has actually moved into the palace.There, there will always be the place Cao Cao left for Xun Yu.

"What about Wen Ruo?" Cao Cao asked, "What do you think?"

Xun Yu raised his eyes indifferently and said, "I think what Ji Gui said is very reasonable."

After a while, Xun Yu said this lightly, neither dissatisfied nor congratulatory, as if it had nothing to do with him.

"That's it." Cao Cao stared at him, pondered for a while, and said to the others: "Let's all retreat...Wen Ruo, you stay.

"I feel that you have something to say to Gu."

Xun Yu turned his head slightly, and said calmly, "I don't have anything in particular to say."

"Alright then." Cao Cao looked at him, his eyes darkened, "That guy has something to say to Xun Ling."

Everyone was surprised that something was wrong, Cui Yan thought about it and said, "Prime Minister, Xun Ling is not feeling well lately..."

"I know." Cao Cao waved his hands, as if impatient. "It's just a few words, don't be so nervous." Then he looked back.

Everyone knew it, so they had to retreat one after another.In an instant, only Cao Cao and Xun Yu were left in the hall.

"It's been a long time since I've been sitting like this," Cao Cao seemed to be feeling emotional, "I know you have something to say. Now that no one else is here, talk about it."

——He still has some affection for Xun Yu.After the Battle of Chibi, he didn't ask anything, and Xun Yu didn't say anything.Seeing him much thinner today, and recalling Guo Jia's incident, I felt a little uncomfortable.

He thought that Xun Yu was just throwing a temper tantrum, and nothing would happen in the end.

Little did he know that Xun Yu had already lost his mind.

"I don't have anything to say." Xun Yu shook his head, "It's the truth, Prime Minister."

Cao Cao frowned, seemingly displeased. "Are you still resenting Gu?"

Xun Yu felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. "I don't have any resentment. It's just that I have already said what I wanted to say before. Now, I really have nothing to say."

"...You and I have reached the point where we have nothing to say?" Cao Cao frowned and said, "Wen Ruo, Gu..."

"I don't know what the Prime Minister wants to hear." Xun Yu raised his head, "Do you want to hear what is in my heart?"

"That's natural."

"...The minister has already said what is in his heart, and the prime minister is forgetful." He looked into Cao Cao's eyes, "If Cao Jun is now sitting in the north, holding Jingzhou in his hand, restraining Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and only one step away from unifying the world, maybe The minister will think that it is not a bad idea for the prime minister to become emperor at this time." He paused and continued, "Now that Chibi is defeated and the world is divided into three parts, how can there be a foundation for being emperor?"

Cao Cao was most jealous of Chibi's defeat, and now that Xun Yu poked his wound, he couldn't help feeling a little sullen.

"Xun Ling thinks that Gu should not be called emperor?"

"It's not that you shouldn't, it's that you can't. To proclaim yourself emperor now is to risk the disgrace of the world and be criticized by the world." Xun Yu said in a single word: "The prime minister shouldn't have thought of it, why are you so eager to proclaim the emperor?"

Cao Cao was silent.

After a long while, he said with a smile that was not a smile: "I don't know what Feng Xiao would say if he was here."

Xun Yu shifted his gaze, "Feng Xiao is gone. The Prime Minister is forgetful."

Cao Cao always felt that if Guo Jia was there, Chibi Bian would not have been defeated so far.So to this day, when Guo Jia is mentioned again, my heart is always unhappy.Thinking of Guo Jia's words "you can't get the world without me", I feel even more uncomfortable.

After going back and forth, his face became livid.

"At that time, I really didn't think Xun Ling had a sharp tongue." Cao Cao twitched his lips.Xun Yu looked at him and said with a pun, "People always change."

This sentence touched Cao Cao's nerves.

"Yes, people's hearts will always change." Cao Cao gritted his teeth, savored these words carefully, and his eyes became fierce, "Tell me, who changed?"

Xun Yu looked at him, his eyes darkened.

"I haven't asked you yet," Cao Cao stood up, "What happened in Chibi that day?"

Xun Yu turned his head away, "I don't understand what the prime minister is referring to."

"What else do you not understand?!" Cao Cao clapped a few cases, "You know better than anyone else! At that time, why did you appear at Zhou Yu's place?!"

Xun Yu forgot to glance at him, "If you want to go, then go."

"What are you doing there?!"

"Did what I wanted to do."

Cao Cao's eyes sank, "Could it be that you—"

"Yes, I am a traitor."

Xun Yu put down these few words cleanly, and the hall fell silent for a while.

"It was me who treasoned the country and collaborated with the enemy."

Xun Yu stood there and said word by word: "Please give me death, Prime Minister."

"What did you say?"

"The guilty minister Xun Yu treasoned the country and collaborated with the enemy." Xun Yu looked indifferent, quickly lifted the hem of his clothes, and knelt down on the ground, "I beg the prime minister to grant me death."

Cao Cao didn't speak.He was clutching the paperweights on the desks, his palms were about to bleed.

"The guilty minister escaped and leaked the military plane, causing great losses to our army... I know that the crime is unforgivable and there is no way to recover." Xun Yu fell to the ground, "I beg the prime minister to grant me death."

Cao Cao didn't speak.

"...That's right, for fear of dirtying the prime minister's hands." Xun Yu stood up slowly, his white robe was still spotless, as if he had never knelt down just now.His slightly weak voice due to illness was exceptionally clear, "The guilty minister will kill himself."

Summer is a good season for lotus blooming.Please let the wind gushing in through the window carry a little smell of morning dew and the fragrance of lotus.

Cao Cao felt cold all over his body.

He still couldn't get the words out.He watched Xun Yu take out something from his pocket, hesitated for a while, but finally did not take out anything, then glanced at him, and backed out.

Cao Cao looked at his figure, he really looked like Guo Jia.That stubborn and resolute look is really similar.

Then dissipate in the summer morning.

56.

"It's been so hot recently, and the only way to get some coolness is in the morning, Xun Ling." The guard, who didn't know what happened just now, said to Xun Yu, who rarely went out: "Xun Ling wears so much, isn't it hot?"

"...Maybe it's because I'm old, so I don't feel this way at all." Xun Yu smiled slightly, and the guard said: "How come, Xun Ling is not old at all!"

Xun Yu didn't answer, and told the guards that he could go to the lotus pond by himself.

This lotus pond was built when Cao Cao entered the Han Palace.The huge lotus pond is so far away that you can't see the edge. It is summer, the endless green spreads to the distance, and the beautiful lotus flowers are swaying and fragrant.

The pond is full of lotus flowers, just like Xun Yu.

He still looks the same as before, clean and gentle.

Sima Yi who came out from Cao Pi bumped into him.

Sima Yi didn't like to see him the most. He was so distracted by his thoughts that he didn't even see Xun Yu.When he found out, Xun Yu was already in front of him.

Regardless of rank or seniority, Sima Yi must salute him.Sima Yi took the melon seeds back and smiled, "Isn't this Xun Ling? What a coincidence, I look good today."

When Xun Yu saw that it was him, he just smiled. "So it was you." He looked around, "I said why did I hear the sound of cracking melon seeds?"

Sima Yi smiled apologetically, "It's just a little habit of Yi... Xun Ling laughed at me."

He really looks like a little fox when he smiles.Xun Yu thought to himself, no wonder he likes Cao Pi so much.

"I met you today, it's fate. Why don't I tell you a few words, listen to me."

Sima Yi was taken aback, and then said, "Yi listens attentively."

"You can't be impatient about the prince's affairs." Xun Yu said indifferently: "The more impatient you are, the more it will backfire. You must be cautious in front of suspicious people, and you must not show your feet."

Sima Yi never thought that he would expose the secret faction between him and Cao Pi when he came up!

"Xun Ling, this—"

"I know what you're thinking." Xun Yu didn't seem to care, "I recommended you back then, not because I wanted to reuse you, but because I wanted to look after you."

Sima Yi's bangs hung down, covering his eyes.Heart ups and downs.

"Wolf Gu Zhixiang... I am afraid that what you want is not just the reputation of assisting the king."

"Xun Ling's words are serious!" Sima Yi bowed and backed away, "I don't know what Xun Ling is referring to, Yi really only wants to assist Cao's assuming the supreme position—"

"That's all." Xun Yu smiled and waved his hands, seemingly lifeless, "Go back."

Of course, Sima Yi didn't just want to assist Cao Pi to rise to the top—what he wanted was, of course, the world.He wasn't too anxious after being seen through, he just said: "Then, Xun Ling, take care."

When the two passed each other, Sima Yi slightly tilted his head.Xun Yu didn't seem to notice, his eyes looked towards the lotus pond.

The crown prince's dispute and factional rivalry have already begun to emerge.

He could expose Sima Yi's ambition to Cao Cao, but he didn't.

I don't know if it was for revenge.But he did grow silent.

Ten miles of lotus fragrance and one sleeve.

"Back then you said you liked lotus viewing, and he ordered people to rush to build one overnight." Xun Yu muttered to himself, "After it was built, you only came here once. You don't like flowers, I know that."

He got off the pond and let go of a small boat.

The wooden boat creaked and floated onto the water, and then Xun Yu stepped on it.

The boat cut out the lotus flowers like scissors, and the blue waves opened a crack.Xun Yu slowly lay down in the boat and floated towards the center of the pond.

The light fog in the morning lingered between the petals of the lotus and shrouded Xun Yu's body.

Dressed in white clothes, dark sky blue stripes, long ink-colored hair, dragon and phoenix posture.

The green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers are dewy and have a faint fragrance.

The koi broke through the water, and the sound of the water was crisp.Red and white koi swim by his boat.

"Wen Ruo always likes these flowers and grasses, but I can't see what's good about them." Xun Yu seemed to have seen the scene where the three of them came to the lotus pond to appreciate the lotus - the only time when the three of them came to admire the lotus. The high-spirited Guo Jia looked at him, " Flowers and plants last only one season, so it’s really boring.”

"Didn't you say you liked lotus at the beginning?" Cao Cao sat behind the table and poured himself a drink, and said with a smile, "Now it's time to make fun of Wen Ruo."

"I was just talking casually... I just wanted to watch it on a whim at the time." Guo Jia drank a cup and looked into the distance. "Looking at it now, it's just mediocre. It's not interesting."

Cao Cao laughed in a low voice, and Xun Yu couldn't help laughing too.

Thinking about it now, it was already impossible for the three of them to go to appreciate the lotus together.Things that I didn't care about at the beginning have become the only thing, even eternal.

then……

When he came to see Cao Cao for the first time, Cao Cao laughed.

"What is Mr. Cao laughing at?"

"My destiny is mine!" Cao Cao held his shoulders, "You are my ovary! Hahaha!"

At that moment, Cao Cao had the world in his eyes.At that moment he found his life's destination...whether right or wrong, he was by his side.He was 29 years old that year.

Later, when Shen Xi died, the grieving Cao Cao was thirsty for talents, so Xun Yu found his close friend Guo Jia.

"Is it really that good?" Guo Jia tossed a lock of hair, "If you're a lazy idiot, I'll leave as soon as I slap my ass, and then don't blame me for not giving you face."

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Why, you still don't believe me?"

He thought he had found a good home for Guo Jia, a place where he could gallop around and show off his ambitions.

...no one would have thought that this would be the end
