关公于马上自叹曰:“吾非欲沿途杀人,奈事不得已也。曹公知之,必以我为负恩之人矣。”正行间,忽见一骑自北而来,大叫:“云长少住!”关公勒马视之,乃孙乾也。关公曰:“自汝南相别,一向消息若何?” | "I did not willingly slay a single one of them," mused Guan Yu as he rode along. "There was no help for it. Nevertheless when Cao Cao hears of it, he will regard me as ungrateful for his bounty." Before long he saw a rider on the road who soon hailed him and proved to be Sun Qian. "I have never heard a word from you since we lost sight of each other at Runan. How have you fared?" said Guan Yu. |
