It was noon, and the hot air and cicadas were roaring one after another. In the backyard of the government office, the atmosphere outside the room where Dongfang Sheng lived seemed tense and quiet. Some of the people who returned to the city gathered together inside and out. Looking at the closed door, dozens of guards were waiting around with knives pressing the hilts.

The old man with excellent medical skills brought back before was left with only one or two quick-handed servants in the room, and the rest were all turned away and waited forever.

In front of the corridor column, Gongsun Zhi pressed his knees with his fists and sat silently on the fence. Dian Wei and Li Ke were on both sides. Cai Yan came a little later, and he stood in the middle of the courtyard with some people. Two hours had passed. After waiting for a while, she walked over and came to her husband.

"Husband, don't worry, Dongfang will definitely be fine."

Hearing the woman's comforting words, Gongsun Zhi just nodded. In fact, he didn't have much to do. If Hua Tuo, who is now a superb medical expert, could not save him. It was as his wife said last night, his destiny would be determined.

After handling the business in the government office, Li Ru also rushed over from there. Seeing the scene here, he walked up to him and said something.

"......Master, the horse has already left the city, but it is hard to say whether Cao Cao will award this marquis position."

"Do your best and leave your destiny. I must do whatever I can." After saying this, the figure sitting on the railing, he raised his eyes slightly: "...Cao Mengde will reward this title to the Sour Rus, and my Gongsun Zhi's favor... is very valuable."

"yes."

After a while, the sun tilted a little, and the closed door finally made a movement. Hua Tuo sent the servant who had been helping him to leave to decoct the medicine. He came out and looked at Gongsun Zhi sitting there, then turned around and closed the door gently.

Then, approached the figure there.

"How is the disease of Sour Religion?" Gongsun Zhi's eyes sank from the opposite side and asked. The next second, he waved his hand to let everyone around him go down. Cai Yan nodded, with Dian Wei and others, retreated dozens of steps, and stood outside in the courtyard.

On this side, the old man looked at them, lowered his head, and spoke carefully: "Governor, the county magistrate's pulse is weak, and his internal organs are all exhausted. This is because of improper treatment of the knife wound in his early years and severe blood damage. If he had been treated as soon as possible, he might be able to recover, but now it has been too long."

On his knees, his fingers trembled.

Gongsun Zhi looked at the old man who was not lying in front of him, and the coldness in his eyes became even more intense and cold. He raised his hand and pointed at the other party: "You just need to say whether there is any rescue... or what precious medicinal materials are needed. I will find them all for you. Even if you want to use someone to make medicine, you can tell me how much you want!"

The words were filled with murderous indifference, which made Hua Tuo's face pale. He shook his head and bowed quickly: "The governor must not believe in the folk remedies made outside, thinking that killing people randomly can cure all diseases... The county magistrate's disease is a time when the best treatment is delayed. I have prescribed a prescription and taken on time... and... I can stay in the world for more days."

"Believe it or not, I'll kill you?" Gongsun Zhi stood up, and with a bang from his waist, the blade was raised in the air, but it still did not fall on the old man's neck, his voice was hoarse and low: "...How long will it take? One month or two?"

“……It’s hard to say…but it shouldn’t be more than five months.”

After saying this, Gongsun Zhi clenched the hilt and hung it down, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, waved his hand and asked someone to take Hua Tuo down. The rest of the people around him came over. Seeing the expression of the leader, Li Ke turned around with a mace and was about to chase the old man there, and shouted: "I'll kill the old guy, he must have not tried his best... it must be..."

"I should be the one who hurts the sour scholars when I come back."

The sky was shining brightly in the courtyard, and everyone in the house fell into silence. Standing on Dongfang Yu's dull face in the corner of the wall, his eyebrows were bent, tears flowed out of his eyes, he covered his mouth and squatted on the ground and cried quietly.

In the midsummer, the face will change at any time. After a few days, it rained heavily. After several days, the rain was clear. Then, there were groups of people on the official road. At this time, Shanggu County was still crowded and rare in such an era. Many people talked about the one-armed county magistrates who governed this big county, and they all gave thumbs up and praised it for their goodness. Perhaps his ability was still lacking, but in the end they were not the kind of person who occupied an official position because of the old man who first started his family with Gongsun Zhi. In mid-August, when the news of the imperial court awarding Dongfang Sheng as Guhou spread, many people ran to the government office to congratulate him. The weak scholar still insisted on going to the yamen to meet these people.

Gongsun Zhi also accompanied him from beginning to end.

Sometimes when I have seen a bustling city, I will go to the trade zones, workshops, or the farmhouses of the people of Heishan outside the city to visit, go to other people's homes to sit and eat the food from each other's homes, and the smile on my face will last for a long time. When I feel better, I will get up early in the morning and take a ox cart to the military camp to see. A team of soldiers are practicing on the school ground, and the cavalry are galloping by, presenting an atmosphere of essence and wolf smoke. The scholar's face is even more flushed and excited.

At this time, the sun had not yet risen, and the air was still a little cool in the early morning. The scholar walked outside the military camp with a crutch and Gongsun Zhi. Hearing the loud and loud shouts inside, his sickly pale face smiled: "The leader will continue to manage well... Yuan Shao of Jizhou, what's the matter!"

"All this was brought to me by you, Guhou." Gongsun Zhi looked at him.

Dongfang Sheng stood there with a cane with his palm on his hands, smiling with his tight lips, turned his head to look at the city far away, and in the further trade area, spots of lights were on. The originally barren Shanggu County was getting better and better, and there were more people. The embarrassment of being hungry in the early years, but I finally couldn't see it.

And I have also been granted the title of marquis...

The scholar smiled even more and grabbed the crutch. He knew that he was not a talented person, a smart and intelligent talent, and pushed forward. He was just a nerd who was studying hard. He was even driven out by his brother who was fighting for his family property. If he hadn't been confused for a moment, he wouldn't have run to the grassland to seek death, nor to the White Wolf Land, nor to meet the leader in front of him... nor to support this huge northern land.

From being cowardly and even a little clumsy to Guhou, who is now standing in this world and no one underestimates it, Shanggu County is like his child, growing up to being able to run away by himself... and being able to eat by himself...

...No need for him to continue to care for him anymore.

There was a carriage parked there at the end of the road. The scholar slowly walked over. The adopted son beside him wanted to help him, but he pushed him away. He climbed up with difficulty. The cold wind blew past him, and a trace of hair on his forehead was slightly curled up. The first beam of light in the east shone down. He stood on the carriage with a crutch and caught up with him. His figure became majestic and majestic.

"Chief, I suddenly want to go home and take a look."
