Hua Tuo's fame at this time was far less exaggerated than that of later generations, and it was only spread among states and counties.

In later generations, Hua Tuo was not only favored by various medicines, but his book "Qing Nang" also appeared frequently in novels, and the word "Qing Nang" was simply described as a fairy magic.

Long Xiang believed that Hua Tuo had superb medical skills, but he did not believe in the magical effect of one shot as described in the novel.

Qiao Rui's trauma coincided with Hua Tuo's professional counterpart, but unfortunately it was wiped out by Xu Ding's cold answer.

"Do you have any news about him?" Long Xiang still didn't give up.

Xu Ding shook his head: "About two years ago, he came to Murakami once, and he has not been heard from since. Now the war is in chaos. It is not easy to find him. It is better to feed your general some wine. When he is drunk, he will forget the pain.

..."

"My general..." Long Xiang stopped talking.

Xu Ding sighed: "Based on Xu's experience over the years, the situation is already very bad. I'm afraid there isn't much time left..."

"General..."

Long Xiang's eyes suddenly turned red and his body was swaying and unable to stand.

Without Qiao Rui's care, low-level soldiers like him would have become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the child wants to be nourished but cannot be kissed.

Before Long Xiang could repay him, Qiao Rui fell in front of him. Destiny was always so unpredictable.

Tang Hui quickly helped Long Xiang with his quick eyes and comforted him in a deep voice:

"Yunqi, cheer up. We might as well listen to Xu Zhuangshi and feed General Qiao some wine."

"Oh, right..."

Long Xiang hurriedly squatted down with the wine bottle, while Tang Wei gently lifted up Qiao Rui, who was lying on his stomach, and the two of them worked together to 'pour wine' into the patient.

As soon as the spout of the wine pot reached Qiao Rui's lips, Long Xiang choked and said: "General, drink quickly...you..."

Qiao Rui's originally lowered hand suddenly rested on Long Xiang's wrist and pulled down Long Xiang's hand holding the wine bottle.

Just when Long Xiang was surprised, Qiao Rui said with an air of gossamer:

"I just... heard everything just now... I should have died a few days ago... I can survive these days... it's enough..."

"General, stop talking and drink quickly..."

Long Xiang persuaded him with a trembling voice, and at the same time he lifted the wine pot up.

Qiao Rui's sick body was originally weak, but suddenly the strength in his hand increased, and the stunned Long Xiang had to stop his movements.

"I can't go back... I can't go... My children at home are still young... If the clouds rise... If you have enough energy... please take care of one... one or two..."

Long Xiang responded with a cry and nodded violently.

"General, don't worry, you will live up to your trust..."

"That's good...I'm thirsty...for wine..."

Qiao Rui reached out to grab the wine bottle and poured it down her throat in large gulps. Her actions were not like a seriously ill and dying person.

Even what happened after his death has been explained, and Long Xiang knew that it was a reflection of his past.

As expected.

Qiao Rui had just taken a few sips when the wine bottle fell from his hand and fell to the ground.

The wine shattered all over the floor.

Qiao Rui, who was lying in Tang Wei's arms, felt her whole body soften immediately.

Xu Ding, who was standing nearby, hurriedly put his hand under his nose and found that his breath had stopped.

Tang Wei was used to life and death. Although Qiao Rui died in front of him, although he was sentimental, it was not as strong as Long Xiang's.

"Yunqi, the general has gone..."

"I know...know..."

Long Xiang stood motionless, as quiet as a beam in the room.

"If I don't help, the deal agreed before will not exist. The ten horses are tied in the stable at the end of the village. Remember to take them away tomorrow morning."

Xu Ding patted Long Xiang's shoulder to comfort him. In fact, he had no intention of keeping a horse since he invited him to the village.

In addition to a jar of old wine, Xu Ding also had more than a dozen pots of rice cooked, and more than a hundred soldiers finally had a full meal.

Heroes cherish heroes, that's probably the case.

Xu Ding originally thought Long Xiang would feel better, but he turned his head and looked serious.

"Since we are invited to the village as an exception, our previous agreement still stands. My soldiers have spent a lot of money. We don't want to eat for free..."

Tang Wei was overjoyed at first, but after hearing Long Xiang's answer, he put down the bridge and slapped himself on the forehead, thinking that he had misheard just now?

Could it be that Yun Qi dislikes our horse? Otherwise, why would he want to give it away so much?

After all, this child is young and has never been a master. Do you know how much food can be exchanged for ten horses?

"A little food is not worth mentioning. I, General Guanlong, am a loyal man. How can I claim any benefits by inviting my friends to dinner?" Xu Ding smiled heartily.

Long Xiang shook his head slightly, clasped his fists and explained: "The reason why Mr. Long wants to keep ten horses is actually a presumptuous request..."

"Please tell me..." Xu Ding frowned slightly.

"Because we have military affairs, we have to travel a long way tomorrow. It will be inconvenient to carry the general's body. I wonder if it can be buried here? After finishing the military affairs, we will come to your village to move the grave and change the tomb."

Long Xiang guessed that he was in the territory under Cao Jun's jurisdiction and could not take Qiao Rui's body on the road. Although he promised to come to move the tomb, he was not sure when he would come. He left ten horses because he wanted Xu Dingping to pay homage on his behalf.

.

"This..." Xu Ding stroked his beard without comment.

Upon seeing this, Long Xiang added: "I know that there are local rules in different places. My general is not from your village. It may not be appropriate to be buried in your village, but I promise to move it away. Those ten horses will be used as a gift for burial."

How’s the pay?”

"How much space can a grave occupy? Since I recognize you, Xu Ding, why should I talk about remuneration?

Since General Long is in a hurry, I will take people to find a place. Let’s bury him overnight and say goodbye..."

Xu Ding turned around and waved his hand, strode across the threshold and walked into the darkness.

"May..."

Before Long Xiang could continue to fight, Xu Ding was no longer visible outside the door.

Tang Huixin said that this man was so powerful that he was worthy of being the leader of such a large village.

Tang Wei approached Long Xiang and asked for instructions: "Yunqi, since the burial is going to be tonight, should we call all the soldiers to express condolences?"

"Uncle Hui, let's see what happens."

Long Xiang nodded lightly, and then sighed sadly: "It's a pity that I was walking in a hurry that day and couldn't collect the bodies of my brothers who died in the woods. I'm sorry for their trust..."

Tang Hui quickly comforted: "When we joined the army in troubled times, everyone had already realized that they would die. Yunqi can properly settle their families. I believe that although the brothers died without regrets, they can call out their names when they bury the general.

, everyone offered sacrifices from afar."

"Very good. Uncle Wei reminded me to remember every brother who died in the war. When we arrive in Hefei, we will jointly build a heroic monument for them so that their relatives and colleagues can pay their respects to them."

Long Xiang looked serious.

"Monument to Heroes? Very good, very good. I'm going to call someone right now..."

"Go ahead."

After Tang Wei left, Long Xiang sat down beside the couch and stayed with Qiao Rui, whose body temperature was slowly lowering.

When the soldiers entered the room one by one to express their condolences, Long Xiang nodded in greeting like a mourner.

Qiao Rui was buried at Haishi, but then it started to rain continuously, and the new grave suddenly turned into an old grave.

Xu Ding asked someone to clear out a few cowsheds to provide shelter for the mourning soldiers at night.

Long Xiang originally planned to stay in the cowshed, but because of Xu Ding's invitation, he followed him to his home.

Xu Ding was tall and broad, so Tang Yu was worried that Long Xiang might be lost, so he had to guard him personally no matter what. When he arrived at Xu Ding's house, he stood guard at the door.

"I have important matters with General Long." Xu Ding's implication prompted Tang Wei to avoid him.

Tang Hui kept his eyes on Long Xiang and said seriously: "You can talk as you like, I won't talk to you, and I won't spread the word."

"Master Xu, please tell me something. Uncle Hui and I have no secrets."

Long Xiang looked at Xu Ding and shook his head gently.

"General Long is unparalleled in his loyalty, and the soldiers under his command are also so brave and loyal. It is truly remarkable..."
