The candlelight swayed in the night wind, and under the firelight, the cold tombstones glowed with a faint cold light.

On the hillside outside Jiuyuan, Lu Bu arranged the heads he brought one by one and knelt in front of his mother's grave.

"Auntie, my son has avenged you. You can go on your journey with peace of mind. I don't know whether my father will be happy or sad when he sees you over there. He will definitely scold your son for being useless. He has been guarding the border for several years, and in the end he can't even protect his family...

"

His low and calm voice was filled with heavy self-blame, and his tall body slowly bent, and finally curled up on the ground, murmuring all the time.

"The baby in Ahong's belly is due to be born in about half a year. It should be a girl. I had a dream last night. In the dream, there was a soft and squirming little girl calling me daddy. Unfortunately, I couldn't see her appearance, but her daddy

She's so handsome, and she shouldn't be ugly. I once thought about marrying her to a guy named Yuan Shu, but that guy dared to proclaim himself emperor and said he wanted Ling'er to be the crown prince..."

Time passed slowly, and amidst Lu Bu's chatter, the sky turned a faint fish belly white. When the first ray of sunlight shone on the tombstone, Lu Bu slowly stood up with his numb legs and looked towards the morning light.

This was the last time he stood in Jiuyuan and watched the sunrise. The rising sun dyed the mountains and rivers with blood. Bloody shadows seemed to flash before his eyes. Those with faces and those without faces died one by one under his painted halberd.

Dreams and reality, one night at a time, made him feel dazed for a while.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do next?"

Wei Xu came over and blocked the light in front of Lu Bu's eyes. He suddenly came back to his senses and pursed his dry lips, "We'll leave Wuyuan County first."

If Dong Zhuo had entered Luoyang at this time, he could have led thousands of border troops to stand on his own. But now that His Majesty is still alive and the power of the Han Dynasty is still there, jumping out too early will only become the target of public criticism.

There is Xianbei in the north of Wuyuan, and the Xiongnu and Han people in the county are mixed. The Xiongnu are also Han ministers at this time. Once the imperial conquest order is issued, he will be trapped in a three-party encirclement and suppression situation.

Moreover, not all of these Wuyuan soldiers listened to him. If the war went unfavorably, they would most likely surrender to the government, and he would end up being hanged in Baimen Tower in advance.

The dream, whether it was true or false, taught him the truth that great things cannot be accomplished with the courage of an ordinary man.

"Brother-in-law, I heard that Zhang Jiao, the great master of Taiping Dao, rebelled in Julu, why don't we go and join him?" Wei Xu suggested.

Lu Bu shook his head, "Those people are nothing more than a mob. They have never even touched a sword. How can they resist the elite soldiers of the imperial court? Your Majesty has sent Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi and others to mobilize elite soldiers from all over the country to encircle and suppress them. The yellow turban thieves can't become a force."

Wei continued, "That's not necessarily true. If my brother-in-law takes charge, he might be able to create a new world."

Having said this, Wei Xu suddenly became more energetic, "By the way, brother-in-law, how come you suddenly become so powerful? Although you were very powerful before, you were also a normal person, but now you are clearly not like a normal person."

Lu Bu thought of the voice that appeared in his head the day before yesterday. Although he couldn't understand many words, he knew that it was that voice that made him stronger.

"Do you believe there are ghosts and gods in the world?" He turned to ask Wei Xu.

Wei Xu hesitated, "I haven't seen it before, maybe there is one!"

Lu Bu said, "I have heard that what she said is very strange, and..."

He covered his heart and said, "I've been feeling stuffy here for the past two days, and it seems to be a little painful."

Wei Xu also covered his heart and said dejectedly, "My family has all gone, and I feel stuffy here and the pain is severe!"

Lu Bu was silent. His family had passed away. He was naturally sad and sad, but this somewhat distressed feeling seemed to have been there since that night. Could it be that the immortal gave him a prophecy?

Wei Xu felt sad for a while, then thought of Lu Bu's words again, and asked curiously, "Have you really heard ghosts and gods speak? What did they say?"

"I don't know how to say it. I have forgotten most of the words I don't understand. I only remember a few. What kind of system? She seemed to be lost with someone before she came to me. After that night, I suddenly became much stronger.

."

"real?!"

It was so unbelievable that Wei Xu had doubts in his eyes, but with the facts before him, he couldn't help but not believe it.

He looked envious, "Why don't gods come to my place? I'm not greedy, just give me 20% of your strength."

Lu Bu said as he walked down the mountain, "Stop dreaming. If you don't practice martial arts well on weekdays, how can you get so many adventures if you just want to achieve it overnight?"

"Didn't you meet him?" Wei Xu shouted after him.

"She has many abilities, but I only have one weapon that can match her. It's a pity."

Lu Bu thought of the function of history books and said, "I need to read more history books in the future."

"Why should we read history books?" Wei Xu wondered, shouldn't he read classics and classics? Officials must learn these.

Lu Bu said thoughtfully, "Read more history so you can learn lessons from the success or failure stories of your predecessors. For example, why did the overlord of Chu, who was so powerful and powerful, lose to the death-phobic and despicable Emperor Gaozu?"

?”

For another example, why did he lose to Cao Cao in the dream?

When it comes to generals, he himself won't talk about it. His subordinates Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are both good at running the army and commanding troops. So which one of Cao Mengde's men can compare?

When it comes to counselors, Mr. Gongtai is also considered a first-class counselor. He has never failed in any of his plans and is no worse than those around Cao Mengde.

In terms of territory, after the sneak attack on Yanzhou, he occupied one state, while Cao Mengde only had three counties left, but in the end he was asked to turn defeat into victory?

Shameful! Really shameful!

Lu Bu thought that he needed some time to sort out everything in that life and understand where Cao Cao won and where he lost.

At the foot of the mountain, Li Su was waiting with three horses. When he saw Lu Bu and two people coming down, he hurriedly went up to greet them and asked, "Fengxian, where are you going from now on?"

Seeing Li Su, Lu Bu was stunned. He remembered that in his dream, Li Su was killed by him because he was unfavorable in fighting Niu Fu, and felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

"Let's leave Wuyuan first. What about you?"

Yesterday Lu Bu suddenly rushed into the military camp and killed Yang Chuo and all his close associates. The superiors will soon send people to arrest him. If they can't catch Lu Bu, they might arrest one or two of his close associates first. Although Li Su

I didn't participate, but I have a close relationship with Lu Bu, so I'm afraid I won't be able to keep Wuyuan anymore.

Li Su said, "I heard about the uprising of the Yellow Turban bandits in Jizhou. I want to go there to join the army. Why don't you go with me?"

Lu Bu shook his head, "You can do it, but I can't. Yang Chuo was born in the Yang family of Hongnong. The head of his family, Yang Ci, was the Taiwei of the dynasty and was in charge of the military and political affairs of the world. Yang Chuo was killed by me, a small military commander with no background or background.

How can the Yang family give up? Unless they change their names, no matter where they join the army, it will be difficult for them to get ahead."

Lu Bu got on his horse and looked into the distance. The mess all over his body could not hide his arrogance, "I am Lu Bu. I am unique in the world. Even if I become a thief in the end, I will not change my name."

After saying that, he lightly clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse galloped away.

…………

At this time, Cao Cao, who was listed as the number one imaginary enemy by Lu Bu, was leading a team on the way to Yingchuan to quell the chaos.

However, he seems to have run into some trouble.

"Ghost, will-o'-the-wisp, there is a will-o'-the-wisp..."

Accompanied by a soldier's horrified scream, the originally orderly team seemed to have been suddenly dropped by a bomb, instantly turning it into a mess.

"It's really a will-o'-the-wisp, there's a will-o'-the-wisp -"

A group of soldiers followed and shouted.

"Where are the will-o'-the-wisps?"

More and more soldiers gathered around and asked, "Where is the will-o'-the-wisp? Where is it?"

"There, there..."

"What happened? Why are you so alarmed?"

Behind the team, Cao Cao noticed something unusual and rode his horse over to shout and ask.

"Ghost, there is a will-o'-the-wisp..."

The soldiers in a circle made way for a passage, and one of them pointed at the flames in the middle and muttered.

Cao Cao looked in the direction he pointed, and saw balls of blue-green netherworld fire burning in a pool of half-dried mud in the middle of the road. Even in the daytime, there was an indescribable, deep and strange feeling.

.

His thick black eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and he took a deep breath. Did he see a ghost in broad daylight?

A soldier trembled and said, "There are ghosts here. I saw will-o'-the-wisps in the cemetery when I was a child. They were exactly like this..."

"Xu, Xu is a refugee who has turned into a will-o'-the-wisp and is here to claim his life."

Word that the refugees had turned into will-o'-the-wisps quickly spread among the team, and everyone looked at the bones in the wilderness with fear, feeling chills running down their spines.

Looking at the frightened soldiers whose faces turned pale, Cao Cao suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted sternly, "You are talking nonsense. How can there be ghosts in the world? Who among you has seen it with your own eyes?"

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

Cao Cao had a sullen face and ordered him to return to the army.

At this time, a voice in the crowd said weakly: "I, I have seen it. Once when I went to the toilet in the middle of the night, I saw a black figure, and it suddenly floated past..."

"I, I've seen it too..."

Everyone talked about various ghost experiences, while Zhang Mo hid in the grass nearby and sighed.

Because I knew that the ever-burning lamp in the ancient tomb was made of white phosphorus made of flint, I originally wanted to get phosphorus to scare people, so as to create chaos and sneak into the city with the caravan. Unexpectedly, what came was the army.

What a pity that piece of flint!

She will really die if she doesn't enter the city. It's better to be hacked to death than to starve to death. Let's win!

She pushed aside the grass and walked out, saying to the chattering crowd: "I know about will-o'-the-wisps."

The discussion suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere suddenly became eerily quiet!

"Ghost——"

Three seconds later, a soldier's horrifying scream broke the silence.

Everyone took a few steps back, wary of the little monster that suddenly appeared.

The little monster is wrapped in weeds, with a skeleton-like body, sparse and yellow hair, and two sunken eyes, which are terrifyingly big. The black eyes are like a deep ancient well, which seems to suck in the soul of a person.

.

Cao Cao was also startled. He patted his chest in shock, looked at the little monster carefully, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. What kind of ghost? It's just a refugee.

"Where did you come from? Did you do that evil spell just now?" Cao Cao asked coldly.

Zhang Mo took two steps forward and said, "I set off the will-o'-the-wisp, but..."

Cao Cao just started talking about ghosts, just to stop the fear from spreading in the army. Who would have thought that all these soldiers have their own stories, and he already regretted it extremely.
