Chapter 14: Transformation of mood

A ray of sunset spread on the ground, rendering the ground a crimson red. The warm breath at noon has gradually dissipated, and the earth is about to return to the coldness. In the jungle, a few field mice rushed by, bringing up some dust. A gust of wind blew, and the sand on the ground was carried up, and then hit the trees, scattering like stars.

A sound of horse hooves came, and a group of people rushed from afar, about fourteen or five cavalry, each carrying bows and arrows, wearing warrior uniforms, and there were a few preys like hares hanging. The leader was a young man, and the few people behind him were the guards of the young man. It seemed that these were children from a noble family who had just returned from hunting.

These people turned around the corner and suddenly found a man sitting on the bluestone beside the road in the distance. His blue robe fluttered in the wind. The man lowered his head. Because the distance was too far, he could not see clearly his appearance, but he could vaguely see that the man was carrying a black sword on his body.

The number of bandits in Runan is famous. Now, these dozen people are watching A Dou sit on the bluestone on the side of the road, and they are carrying weapons. Some of them are already pressing their hands on the weapons on their waists and ready to fight at any time.

Adou lowered his head, as if he had no idea about the arrival of these dozen people. At this time, Adou was still recalling what Wang Yue said.

What Wang Yue said was nothing he had never thought about, to stabilize the world and unify the four directions. In A Dou's view, this should be what those noble "sons" should do, and A Dou himself was just a small knight, like a drop in the ocean. This little knight should naturally do what the knight should do, and to compete for the world, it seems that it has nothing to do with him.

Adou knew that if there was no accident, he would probably become the late master Liu Chan in history. Under the protection of Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei, he would be the emperor for decades. Then Deng Ai's army rushed to the city, opened the city to surrender, and became the Marquis of Anle.

Of course, A Dou didn't want to live such a life. In comparison, A Dou prefers the kind of life that is holding a sword in the world. A Dou has thought countless times that he left and found a place where no one knows him. No matter how the world changes, it has nothing to do with him. However, every time he thinks about Liu Bei getting a son in old age, it is already very difficult, so A Dou still endures staying in Shu.

A person who has died once has a simple wish. He can live steadily and do what he wants. This is enough. It can be said that Adou is very satisfied with his current situation now. But now Adou suddenly realizes that many things cannot be avoided by himself. He is no longer the simple Wudang hero, but behind him is the entire Shu Han!

Wang Yue was right. The power of three parts of the world has been achieved. Now only Cao Pi, Sun Quan and himself are qualified to compete for the world. Or the descendants of Cao Pi and Sun Quan plus him, others have no such qualifications at all! Suddenly, Adou felt that he was carrying a great responsibility, like a mountain, and he was so overwhelmed by Adou!

A strong sense of helplessness surged into Adou's heart. Why did he become Liu Bei's son after he was reborn and become the A Dou who could not be helped? If he was just a commoner, why would he be sad about this?

Adou regrets knowing Wang Yue! This Wang Yue not only awakened himself, but also pressed the whole world on himself! This huge burden was not what Adou wanted to throw away. This burden was not just a simple saying "fight for the world". This burden also contains the people, countless descendants of Yan and Huang, and the future of the entire China! Adou can't let go of this burden, nor can he let go, let alone let go of it...

A voice sounded from Adou's mind: Get out of here! Go to a place where no one can find you and hide. In this way, you will cut off all contact with the outside world and you will no longer have to worry!

At the same time, another voice also sounded: Don’t escape anymore, this is your destiny! Since you are Liu Chan, you should take on the whole world! The most heroic person is for the country and the people! Now countless people are in dire straits and the people are suffering. Do you have the heart to hide now?

A Dou hesitated, everything was in A Dou's thoughts. A Dou finally realized what a thought is heaven and hell.

At this moment, Adou's mind flashed involuntarily, the scene of his master who had just joined Wudang's disciple in his previous life to educate himself.

"Child, you must remember that we martial arts practitioners practice good martial arts. In addition to strengthening our bodies and protecting ourselves, we should be a chivalrous and righteous person, helping the strong and helping the weak, and never do evil things..."

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yue's words rang out from A Dou's mind again.

"The greatest hero is to serve the country and the people. The true hero is not a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero, a hero! Save all the people from the water and fire, save the people from danger, support the country in a tilt, and stabilize the world, make the people unable to cause chaos, stabilize the whole country, and make the country peaceful and peaceful. This is the real chivalrous way! This is the real chivalrous righteousness!"

Finally, A Dou raised his head. At this moment, there was no hesitation or hesitation in A Dou's eyes. On the contrary, A Dou's eyes were full of determination! At this moment, A Dou finally made a decision.

At this moment, the saying in "Mencius" sounded in Adou's mind: If you are poor, you will be able to keep yourself alone, and if you are successful, you will help the world. Now you are not "poor". Strictly speaking, there are not many people in the world who are more "achieved" than you. Such good conditions should help the world.

Wang Yue was right. The real way to heroes is not to be heroes, but to be heroes in the world. Saving the people from the water and fire is the real way to be heroes!

Now, Adou has found his goal, which is to unify the world and give the people of the world a peaceful and prosperous era!

After understanding it, Adou did not continue to walk eastward. Since he decided to fight for the world, he could not stay in Cao Cao's territory, so Adou had to return to Shu as soon as possible.

Judging from the current situation, Adou's whereabouts have been exposed. The four brothers of the Wang family have found themselves. The four brothers of the Wang family are all extraordinary people and must be faster than ordinary people. Since the Wang family appears, maybe after their pursuit of their own army, they will follow the four brothers of the Wang family. I believe that it will not take long before a large number of Cao's army pursuers will come.

There were pursuers behind him, so Adou naturally could not forget to walk back. In the end, Adou decided to go north and enter Yingchuan, and then see if there was a chance to go to Yongzhou. Once he arrived in Yongzhou, no one could stop him from returning to Shu.

From Yongzhou to Hanzhong, you can walk from many roads. The closest to Chang'an is naturally Ziwu Valley. If you pass Wuguan, pass Qingni Pass and walk along the mountain quickly, you can reach Ziwu Valley. From Ziwu Valley to the west, there are Xigu, Sanguan, and even the valley above the west to the upper valley, you can enter Shu. In so many places, Cao Cao could not defend at all. It can be said that as long as he can reach Yongzhou safely, it is equivalent to 90% success.

The key now is how to arrive in Yongzhou.

Yongzhou is the place of Qin. At that time, the Great Qin had the so-called "Qin Four Barriers". East Hangu, South Wu, West Sanguan, and North Xiaoguan are Hangu Pass in the east, Wuguan in the south, Sanguan in the west, and Xiaoguan in the north. The Four Barriers are just stuck on the necessary path to enter Qin. If you want to enter Qin, you must pass through the Four Barriers.

Now A Dou can walk from two roads: one is to pass the Sangu area and walk the south of Wuguan, then pass the Qingni Pass, enter Yongzhou through Lantian, and the other is to pass the Hongnong Jing Hangu Pass, then pass the pass, go to Huayin, and arrive along the Wei River to Chang'an.

It is very difficult to walk these two roads. Cao Cao must have thought of them a long time ago when he knew that he would go back to Shu. Now these two roads must be guarded by them at all levels. If he wants to survive the difficulties safely, it is better to climb to the sky.

It is unlikely that you can succeed if you want to make a desperate attempt, but Adou knows that there will be a good opportunity in the near future.

Now it is about to be the first month. According to historical records, Cao Cao will return to Xudu during the first month, and Cao Cao died of illness shortly after returning to Xudu. Cao Pi inherited Cao Cao's official titles and power and became the King of Wei. In September of the same year, Cao Pi forced Emperor Xian to abdicate.

Cao Cao's death will definitely cause turmoil and uneasiness among Cao Cao's forces. At the same time, there will be a new reshuffle within Cao Cao's forces. Those officials of Cao Pi will definitely be promoted because of Cao Pi's ascendance to the throne. Similarly, there will definitely be some discordant voices within Cao's army, such as Cao Zhang, who guards Youzhou.

Cao Pi needed time to integrate the internal forces. When Cao Pi almost integrated the internal forces, he could not wait to overthrow Emperor Xian and proclaim himself emperor. From Cao Cao's death to Cao Pi forcing Emperor Xian to abdicating, there were eight months between them. In other words, it took Cao Pi eight months to integrate the power of the Cao army and then stretch out his minions to Emperor Xian. These eight months will be the weakest time for the entire Cao Wei side. At that time, Cao Pi must have been busy gathering the forces left by Cao Cao. During these eight months, whether it is the central political situation in Xudu or various places, they will definitely be in a storm of alternating power struggles, and these eight months are a good opportunity to escape.

It would be great if there were some troops in his hands. After Cao Cao died, he would make trouble in the Central Plains, which would make the situation even more chaotic. At that time, Cao Pi would definitely reveal more flaws, and his confidence in escaping would be several more.

At this moment, A Dou only heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front, and then five fast horses rushed towards A Dou. A Dou looked up and found that the people on the horse were all carrying guys, and they were invisibly emitting a fierce aura. Looking at the clothes, they all had all colors. They definitely didn't seem to be soldiers of the Cao army or children of some big families.

In this chaotic era, war horses are rare resources. In Runan, there are only three types of people who can have war horses. One is the Cao army, the second is some big families, and the third is robbers. The five people on the other side are definitely not Cao army, nor do they look like children of aristocratic families. They must be robbers.

It is also very expensive to raise a war horse. Ordinary bandits and robbers will never be able to afford it. Look at the other party, there are five war horses, which shows that the other party is definitely not ordinary robbers. They can raise five war horses. In Runan, it is at least a medium-sized robber gang.

Gradually, the group of people got closer, and A Dou finally saw the faces of these people. The person in the lead looked very tall. Although he sat on the horse, according to A Dou's judgment, this person must be about nine feet tall. However, although this person is very tall, he is slightly thin.

The second person was a round-faced man with dark skin and a small beard on his mouth, looking a little fat. Behind the black-faced man were three burly men, one of whom was still familiar. A Dou thought carefully and said that the man was the leader of the robber who robbed Wen Qin the day before yesterday. At that time, this guy rushed over with an axe, then stopped a long distance from him, and finally retreated. This man was very puzzled by A Dou, so A Dou was very impressed by this man holding an axe.

At this time, these people also saw A Dou. The big man holding an axe pointed At Dou and said something. The group immediately rushed towards At Dou. This scene happened to be seen by At Dou. At Dou felt that this group was probably coming to cause trouble for him, so subconsciously, At Dou drew out the sword.

In a blink of an eye, several people came to Adou approaching and then got off the horse. The tall man pulled the big man closer and asked, "I've identified it, is it him?"

The big man nodded: "Boss, it's him, absolutely right."

At the same time, the black-faced man took out a piece of paper from his arms. It was the document wanted by Adou, and there was a portrait of Adou. The black-faced man carefully compared the portrait for a long time, and then said to the tall man: "Brother Xiang, it should be right, it's him!"

When Adou saw this attitude, he understood that the purpose of these people must be to capture him like the four brothers of the Wang family. And that day the man suddenly retreated, must have recognized him and then went back to call for someone.

Adou naturally knew that he was now a title under Cao Cao, so it was normal for these people to have money. But think about it again, why didn’t this man let nearly a thousand people gather around him to catch him directly, but instead went back to call for someone? Does he think these five people are better than those thousand people? And looking at the people he called, they are not very skilled in martial arts, they are so confident that they can catch themselves!

At this time, the black-faced fat man walked a few steps, came to Adou approached, clasped his fists and asked politely: "Is this Liu Chan?"

It seems that this person has to be polite first and then soldiers. However, only these people's martial arts are so A Dou really doesn't take it seriously, so A Dou nodded: "I am Liu Chan."

"But Liu Chan, the son of King Liu Bei of Hanzhong?" the black-faced man continued.

"Yes!" Adou answered very simply.
