"Isn't this a medical fairy? Now that I'm here, why can't my father be saved?" During the rainy season in May, in Xiapi City, Tao Qian's eldest son, Tao Shang, seemed to find it difficult to accept his father's fate.

"I'm not a medical fairy..." Hua Tuo is a doctor after all, so he could only hold back his answer. "I didn't say that your father's disease is incurable. I can treat the superficial symptoms, but your father is getting older and his body is getting weaker.

, I had old injuries in my early years, and I don’t seem to have a very good temper. There are loopholes all over my body. Now that I am in this situation, I am basically considered a real decrepit person. As the saying goes, the disease is in the whole body, and it becomes weak. Even if I have a headache, I will treat it.

Treatment for foot pain can only barely delay the treatment."

The potter wanted to tug on Hua Tuo's sleeve and ask again, but unexpectedly, after Hua Yuan transformed, a young scholar stepped forward with his sword in hand and interrupted him: "Master Tao, do you have to speak frankly to Mr. Yuan Hua? If you think Yuan

If there is anything unclear about what Mr. Hua said, let me tell you... Your life is at the end of your life and there is no more human power to do. Even if Mr. Yuan Hua comes in person, you can only hang your life reluctantly!"

"That's right." Behind him, Wu Pu also mustered up the courage to answer. "Instead of being so entangled, it is better to let Mr. Tao live more comfortably in the past few months and prepare some good ginseng just in case. This is the way to be a human being.

Son, the way to be a minister to others!"

Tao Shang was dejected for a moment, and his younger brother Tao Ying also bowed his head and remained silent. There were many important people in Xuzhou in the hall, such as Chen Deng, the so-called governor of Donghai, and Chen Deng, the captain of Dian Nong School;

Cao Hong, cavalry captain Cao Bao; Xia Pixiang Zuo Rong, infantry captain Xu Dan; and Guangling prefect Zhao Yu, who worked for Zang Ai (Zang Ba's eldest son)... none of them could say anything.

After a long while, it was Zuo Rong who stepped forward and responded solemnly: "General Anton (Tao Qian) is in charge of a state, which is related to the overall situation of the world. Life and death are more important than Mount Tai. Even if manpower cannot do it, you must do your best to take care of him here.

Please ask him to ascend to the Bliss later..."

Hearing the last word of bliss, 80% of the people in the hall couldn't help but frown, but they didn't say anything. Instead, they could only nod... Because no matter what, morally speaking, and from the perspective of creating buffer time, at this time, it is temporarily

It is always right to extend Tao Qian's life.

Hua Tuo was an ignorant person, so he wanted to refuse when he heard this, leaving only one disciple here. Anyway, it was just to hang an old man's life, and it seemed that he was not needed.

However, Xu Yuanzhi had a clear heart, so he directly rushed to speak before Hua Tuo and replied: "Since ancient times, when princes died, disaster would inevitably cause Xiaoqiang. The public doctor of Yuanhua is kind-hearted, so there is no harm in staying here, but there are

Two things must be promised by you in court... First, Yuan Hua Gong is here, and his disciple Wu Pu must leave Xuzhou as soon as possible and go to Nanyang Medical Saint Zhong Jing Gong to inform his master that his master is here; second, Fan Yuan is here

When Hua Gong comes here, I must hold my sword and stay close to him. Otherwise, even if I kill us today, I will definitely not let you carnivores manipulate me... Mr. Zhao Fu, you used your armor to kidnap us.

What do you think?"

Everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment... After all, although Hua Tuo has such a great reputation now, in front of this kind of leader of a state and a county, he is just a non-mainstream scholar who seeks out the side. Everyone because of their health

On the surface, I maintain respect, but in my heart, I am still mostly disdainful. In essence, I still want to shout and drink. How did you think of this?

But having said that, Zhao Yu was recognized as an upright person, and he was suddenly asked about it. In addition, he really felt that the previous forced actions of the soldiers were a bit excessive, so he hesitated for a while and agreed.

Since Zhao Yu agreed, Xu Shu bypassed Zuo Rong and looked at Chen's father and son, Mi's brothers, and Cao's uncle and nephew. These three families were local big families in Xuzhou, one was the head of a noble family in the state, and the other was a giant in the state. A wealthy businessman, a man with local military power in the state, who is said to be a person of honor, and at a glance, Chen agreed, while Mi Zhu, Cao Hong and others also nodded.

Now that he had received the promise, Xu Shu said no more. Only Chen Deng, Chen Yuanlong, the captain of Diannong School, couldn't help but asked: "Who among you has such knowledge and courage? Why are you here with Duke Hua again?"

"Yingchuan Xu Shu, courtesy name Yuan Zhi, was born in a Shan family. He met Yuanhua Gongdao Zuo. He knew that Xuzhou's trip was dangerous, so he went with him..." Xu Shu took a few steps forward boldly, and was directly in front of Chen Deng. He held his sword and faced each other. " I don’t think a person as trivial as this is worthy of being recruited by Captain Chen!”

Chen Deng, who was slapped in the face, became even more stunned.

It must be known that two and a half years ago, Chen Yuanlong, who met at the Nanyang Alliance, whipped the world and reorganized the country. I respect Gongsun Wenqi... The rest of his disciples are trivial and can't be recorded enough. However, he also became famous all over the world... It is said that Wei When the general found out, he mocked him by saying, "Shu Zi is good at touching words!"

Although I don’t know what it means, after all, I got a response from General Wei!

But today, Chen Yuanlong, who dared to touch his words, lost his courage in front of a Yingchuan Shan family son.

A moment later, what shocked all the powerful figures in Xuzhou in the hall was that Chen Deng, who had always looked down on others, actually ignored the rain outside the hall and Tao Qian behind the hall, who was old and old, bowed down respectfully and returned the favor: "Xiapi Chen Deng, today Copying one person... Hu Hai is heroic, calm and unhurried, I respect Xu Yuanzhi of Yingchuan."

Xu Shu stood firm and motionless.

The rain kept falling, Wu Pu Pegasus left Xiapi and headed east. Xu Shu, Hua Tuo and several of the latter's disciples officially moved into a mansion belonging to the Mi family of Donghai opposite General Anton's Mansion, ready to feel at ease. Provide care for Tao Qian at the end of his life, and at the same time allow him to continue to open his door to practice medical consultation.

After entering the courtyard, before settling down, Hua Tuo summoned Xu Shu and expressed his gratitude in public: "We have to thank Yuan Zhi for what happened today, otherwise my disciples might be in real danger. Who knows what those military leaders can do?" Whatever happened...it's my fault, because there were old friends in the hall, so I didn't think too much about it at the time."

Xu Shu was about to be humble, but suddenly he was stunned: "There is an old friend of Yuan Hua Gong in the hall, who is he?"

"The Governor of the East China Sea, Chen Chen Hanyu, is an old friend of mine." Hua Tuo clasped his hands and said. "When I was young, I mainly lived in Xuzhou, and when I was middle-aged, I traveled in Wanluo. I knew him at that time, and we have been friends for many years. Not only that, before Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he was serving as Prime Minister of Pei, and he wanted to promote me as Xiaolian. He also persuaded Huang Ziyan, who was transferred from Yuzhou Mu to Taiwei, to recruit me in the name of the Three Dukes in order to promote my reputation. , it was convenient for me to become an official, but I was impatient and refused... And I had already said in Runan that I was going to come north from Guangling. In fact, it was because of their Chen family that I could have a foothold in Xiapi and Donghai. It's just the ground... But no matter what, I still want to thank you today, I really didn't think about it that much."

Xu Shu was embarrassed for a moment and didn't know what to say... He had long seen that the Chen family and his son were the first-class powerful sect in Xuzhou. If he knew that the Chen family and his son were Hua Tuo's old friends, why would he bother to do so?

?

Especially with Chen Deng's behavior later on, I don't know if he is really convinced or if he feels that he is superfluous.

However, judging from the days that followed, Chen Deng was still very convinced of Xu Shu. Since that day, he repeatedly went to Hua Tuo's other courtyard with a simple and clear purpose, just to make friends with Xu Shu...

The Pi Chen family has a high family status, and Chen Yuanlong himself has a powerful position of 2,000 shi (in these days, farming is an important position no matter where he is), and he can be called a courtesy corporal. However, for some reason, Xu Shu, who was born in Shan family,

But they are always unwilling to fall in love with each other.

The plum rains continued in May, and the whole of Xuzhou seemed to be immersed in humidity... It can't be called heavy rain. The key is that it is continuous. It is sunny once every three days, cloudy once every five days, and it rains intermittently in the rest.

In this miserable season, with General Anton in Xiapi City, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's health was getting worse day by day. In addition, he had no intention of letting his two sons take over.

The atmosphere inside and outside Xuzhou has become increasingly tense.

Finally, by late May, things became completely uncontrollable:

First, Zang Ba, the actual controller of Langya County and the general of Xuzhou's northern line, sent someone to report back. He said he was the general of Zhendong. Guan Yu, the Mu of Qingzhou, dispatched a large number of troops south to the Qingxu border. The force even exceeded that of Guan Yunchang of Lu State who faced off against Xuzhou and Yanzhou at the same time last year.

After a military conflict, the Langya area has completely fallen into a state of war readiness;

Immediately, news came from Pengcheng that General Cao Cao had personally led 10,000 troops to garrison in Xiao County, Peibei, and sent Lu Qian, his disciple, as an envoy to greet him first;

And long before that, Liu Bei, who had returned from victory, had stopped directly in Penan... Gaixia, like Cao Cao, was only three days away from Xiapi Kuaima. As for his greeting envoys, he was even more direct. His two wives

After returning to her parents' home with her two daughters, Mrs. Gan went directly to her uncle's house to get medicine.

Although everyone is nervous about this situation, it is still expected for those who really understand.

In other words, in a sense, what Xia Pi Xiang Zuo Rong said is absolutely correct. As General Anton, Tao Qian is a great prince in the Central Plains, and he is a pillar of the Central Plains Alliance. At this time, Tao Qian collapsed

, for the overall situation of the world, which has long been difficult to maintain balance because the emperor has come of age, it is really not the right time, and it is really too fatal!

Gongsun could not give up such a good opportunity, but on the other hand, Cao and Liu would never allow Xuzhou to break away from their axis alliance.

The emperor has grown up with his hair tied in April, and there is still wrangling in Chang'an. Maybe they can continue to quarrel for a few more months. Anyway, the emperor is only sixteen, so he can always afford it. Unexpectedly, there was a big trouble on the bank of the East China Sea first, and Tao

Qian, a bad old man, can't wait for anyone anymore.

"I think, things in Xuzhou are for the people of Xuzhou. I, Xuzhou, have a great land and outstanding people, and there are more than 70 cities in five counties. How can I not take care of myself..."

On this day, the weather finally turned sunny, and the rain that had been pouring for more than half a month gradually stopped. In the side courtyard of the residence where Hua Tuo lived, a group of Xiapi scholars who had just finished performing the authentic Five Animals Opera couldn't bear it for a moment, so they laid out their bunks in the courtyard.

It was such a joy to sit on the mat, drink tea, discuss politics, and give advice on the country.

Among them, the one with the highest status is naturally Chen Deng, the captain of Diannong School. The latter may not be full of parasites because he has not yet taken up his post in Guangling, but he still comes here every day to hang out...and then

In turn, it attracted a large number of young scholars to come here.

In fact, this sentence was meant for Chen Deng.

"Who from Xuzhou can do this?" However, Chen Yuanlong was not a good-tempered person, and he immediately lost his temper. "There are people in the five counties of Xuzhou who can match General Wei, Liu Yuzhou, Cao Fenwu...such a person I

Why don't you know? And who is this step? Why can you decide such a big thing with just one word?"

Before the topic started, there was no need to talk anymore... The face of the young scholar turned red after being scolded, but he did not dare to argue with Xuzhou's number one son and the youngest person with real power of two thousand stones.

As a result, this man was so ashamed and angry that he had no choice but to leave in order to save some face. As for the rest of the people, seeing Chen Deng acting like this, they knew that today's visit was in vain, so they also left one after another to find out why.

For a time, the originally harmonious and lively Medical Immortal Villa immediately became deserted.

"Brother Yuanlong, it's true." Xu Shu was speechless. "Even if you knew he was talking nonsense, why would you humiliate him in public? The so-called wrath of a common man can cause blood to splash in five steps, but you are a pampered showman, and you are not enough to cut him with a knife.

Okay, aren't you afraid of what might happen... This kind of thing has rarely happened since ancient times?"

"There is a difference between the wrath of an ordinary man and the wrath of an ordinary man." Chen Deng, who was sitting cross-legged and side by side with Xu Shu on the mat in the courtyard, picked up the teapot in front of him, without using a cup, and directly mixed the ginger slices and the precious specialty of the South China Sea, pepper, which is known as the holy medicine to dispel colds.

After taking two sips of pink hot tea, he responded calmly. "I don't dare to offend a common man like me at all, because when a common man like me is angry, his blood will really fly five steps away, and people like me will die immediately."

On the spot; but those people just now, they were just angry and just walked away, maybe even banged their heads against the wall when they got home to show their anger... so why do you need to care? "

Xu Yuanzhi also chuckled.

"Yuan Zhi, don't believe it." Chen Yuanlong put down the teapot when he saw this and shook his head for a moment. "What do these people come here for? Are they really just here to treat illnesses and learn Wu Qin Xi? They just want you to find out about General Anton's condition.

I have learned about some high-level political situations from me, and I am just speculating like those businessmen... How can there be a real husband hidden among such people?"

"Mi Jia was a merchant with a good background, but everyone in Yingchuan knew that he was a recognized good official and the pillar of Xuzhou. His younger brother was the prime minister of Pengcheng. Isn't it because Cao Fenwu did it for his sake? Why did Yuanlong blame Sang and scold Huai?

?Besides, if General Wei can succeed, he himself said that half of it depends on his mother's help in business... Although he is speaking for the son of a man, you can't say that Mrs. Gongsun is a speculator, right? Oh, and Jiaozhou

Mu Zhu Gong, his mother is also an heir who relies on business to support himself..."

"I'm not talking about the Mi brothers and Mrs. Zhu, let alone Mrs. Gongsun..." Chen Deng was speechless. "Why would Yuan Zhi reject people thousands of miles away like this?"

Xu Shu smiled and responded: "You are the son of the first family in Xuzhou, and I am the son of the Shan family in Yingchuan District... On the contrary, I have always wanted to ask you, why do you have to pester me? Pepper tea is so precious, and Nanhai is nothing more.

Someone just found it and transplanted it just a year or two ago. It’s expensive but not marketable, so it’s better to drink it safely at home.”

"Yuan Zhi is joking!" Chen Deng was helpless for a moment, but he could only answer in a roundabout way. "May I ask Brother Yuan Zhi, what is the joy of life?"

"I heard that Brother Yuanlong is pleased to hear that!"

"Looking down, the joys of life are nothing more than the two words "inside and outside"... From the outside, there are external things inside, fine wine and delicious food, beautiful maids and beautiful clothes, carts and horses, and this pepper tea... Even the heroes and wise men, all

Gain it from yourself; internally, you can show your inner thoughts and external thoughts, show your wisdom and plan in the current situation, show your courage in extraordinary things, display your benevolent government in your hometown, and make contributions to the world!" Chen Deng spoke impassionedly and eloquently. "And among them, getting to know each other is the most important thing.

Heroes, wise men and talents are the most important, because heroes and wise men are not only the most precious external things, but also the most important support for internal thinking and external expression. But the most important point is that whether you enjoy external things or make contributions, if you don’t have

Homosexuals share joys and sorrows and joys, so what’s the point?”

Xu Shu's smile continued unabated: "It turns out that Brother Yuanlong has come here to look for me many times. He just thinks that I am someone who can listen to you discuss current affairs. What does this mean?"
To be continued...
