Looking at Yuan Shu whose face was full of joy, Liu Mastiff really couldn't say anything to dissuade him. He looked at everyone. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had some doubts in their eyes. I'm afraid they also saw Yuan Shu's strangeness. They were the closest to Yuan Shu. These three close relatives could all detect the difference in Yuan Shu. During this period of time, Yuan Shu had changed too much. Yuan Shu said, then looked at Zhou Yu beside him and said: "Gong Jin, you are also following me. I!"
"Your welcome!" Zhou Yu bowed quickly.
Everyone continued to chat. They had just returned to Luoyang. Liu Mastiff knew that they were tired and did not let them stay for too long. He just left Yuan Shu to rest here, and the others left. Of course, Zhou Yu also stayed. He supported Yuan Shu back to the house and wanted to listen to his lecture. Liu Mastiff was about to go back, but saw that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had not left either. Liu Mastiff walked up to them and asked: "Uncle, Zhongda, what's the matter?"
"Your Highness" Zhuge Liang frowned and asked, "What medicine did the doctor disclose to Yuan?"
"I don't know either." Liu Mastiff shook his head and said helplessly: "However, Mr. Yuan's health is finally better, isn't that good?" he said with a smile, but the two people in front of him were the same. You could see through the bitterness hidden in his smile. Sima Yi pondered for a long time and asked, "He didn't cure my uncle's disease, did he?"
Liu Mastiff was stunned and did not reply.
"He just asked his uncle to take powder to relieve his pain??" Sima Yi asked coldly.
Zhuge Liang on the side asked: "What is Fusan?"
"It is a highly poisonous substance that can cover up temporary pain, but destroys its roots."
"Dog thief!!!" Zhuge Liang yelled violently, holding the sword in his hand, and walked towards the door. Liu Mastiff hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and firmly grabbed Zhuge Liang's sleeve to prevent him from leaving. , Zhuge Liang turned his head in disbelief, looked at the prince, and asked: "Your Highness, do you know the truth???"
He saw Liu Mastiff's face twisted in pain, and tears kept falling from his eyes. He gritted his teeth, held back, and nodded without making a sound.
Zhuge Liang did not ask and let go of the hand holding the sword hilt.
"Dr. Hua said that he came late and that Master's time is running out. He cannot tell Master the truth. He can only make Master happy. These days, I always look at Master. I don't know, if one day , I can never see him again. I am very scared of what I will become, but I dare not say it. I have not told anyone. I am still contacting the doctor so that I don’t let the master know."
"At least, don't let him suffer like that."
Liu Mastiff cried and said.
Zhuge Liang closed his eyes in pain and could not speak for a long time.
After sending Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi away, Liu Mastiff sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. For some reason, his heart was always filled with a deep fear. He took a deep breath and covered his head to prevent himself from To think about it.
"His Royal Highness, Master, is looking for you," Zhou Yu appeared behind him at some point and whispered.
Liu Mastiff stood up, returned the greeting to Zhou Yu, said thank you, and then went to Yuan Shu's house with him.
After entering the room, he saw Yuan Shu sitting on the bed, without any clothes on, breathing deeply. His whole body looked extremely thin, his skeleton was clearly visible, and he was completely different from before, and the scars on his body became even more shocking. , this is the first time Liu Mastiff has seen these scars on Yuan Shu's body. These scars show the supreme glory of a general who has fought a hundred battles. Liu Mastiff has seen many soldiers, but he has never seen so many scars that are frightening.
At some point, Yuan Shu opened his eyes and saw the somewhat dull Liu Mastiff in front of him. He smiled and said, "Why, are you scared?"
"This is the price of climbing all the way from soldier to tutor!"
Liu Mastiff possessed him and bowed to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, let's get up." Yuan Shu said, put on his clothes again, took a few breaths, and said helplessly: "After taking this medicine, I felt hot and uneasy all over my body. If I hadn't seen the medicine, I would have thought that Hua
Tuo is trying to trick me into taking powder!"
"Mastiff, I will go to your Majesty tomorrow and ask him to allow me to help Hua Xiong. Your Majesty and I have known each other since childhood, and he will not refuse. Perhaps, I will have to leave Luoyang for a while. During these days
, you go to your grandfather, I have given him instructions, he has a lot of books hidden there, you can bring them all over, anyway, he has no heirs, these books will be yours sooner or later, and then you will be in trouble
Studying in the palace"
"How about I go with you?" Liu Mastiff asked.
"No need, just stay and study hard. When I come back, you will have to take the school entrance examination!"
"Here you go!"
Liu Mastiff responded.
The next day, just early in the morning, Yuan Shu left the East Palace and went to the Houde Hall.
The emperor was sitting in the palace studying, and he was overjoyed when he heard that Yuan Shu was coming. He quickly asked Han Men to bring him in. The emperor stood at the door, waiting with a smile. Yuan Shu walked in, and when he saw the emperor in front of him, he quickly wanted to pay his respects.
, the emperor pulled him up, smiled, and took him to the Hu chair. There were soft cushions on the Hu chair, which were specially placed for Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu and the emperor sat down together.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you are seriously ill. I wanted to visit you, but I never had any free time. Things happened one after another." The emperor shook his head and said. Yuan Shu smiled disapprovingly and said, "I have a minor illness, so I don't need to."
of"
"Why have you lost so much weight? Hahaha, I still remember the first time we met in Luoyang. At that time, you were still a little fat man and you were beaten up by me!" The emperor laughed and said, Yuan Shuwen
Yan also thought of the past and couldn't help but smile and said: "At that time, if His Majesty hadn't brought too many people, maybe who would have beaten whom!"
"Hahaha, that makes sense. I still remember that Ma Lang, you and I were playing together in He Yeye's courtyard as if it was yesterday."
"Yes, time flies by so fast, right? Where is Ma Jun? I haven't seen him since I came back."
"He is staying in Ningzhou. I heard that he is going to build water conservancy there. He has been away for several years and I haven't seen him come back."
"Is he still stuttering now?"
"It has been cured a long time ago, but after Wen Renggong passed away, he spoke a lot less and didn't like to talk much."
The two chatted for a long time, and then Yuan Shu said: "Your Majesty, I came to you this time because of Hua Xiong's affairs. Your Majesty also knows that Hua Xiong is a man who speaks his mind unscrupulously and is too straightforward. If you act rashly,
As an official, I am afraid that he will be bullied. I want to be a false assistant and teach him. Although this person has no ability, the good thing is that he does not do those things that he does not have. He is a real person. If he is trained well, he can do anything in the future.
Very useful!”
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, the emperor thought for a moment and said: "How can I make you subordinate to Hua Xiong? Otherwise, you can be the captain?"
"Your Majesty," Yuan Shu smiled bitterly. He lowered his head and looked at his hands. He was speechless for a long time. After being silent for a long time, he raised his head and said, "I don't have much time left. I'm afraid it's hard to be like this."
appoint."
"Highway, you!"
The emperor looked dull and looked at Yuan Shu in front of him, speechless.
Yuan Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I know that my body is running out of time. Even if Mr. Hua is reincarnated as Bian Que, there is nothing he can do to save me. The food he gave me was just something to suppress the pain."
Things, or scattered"
"Then this" the emperor was stunned and speechless.
"Your Majesty, I am the only one who knows about this matter. I didn't tell the mastiffs. They all thought I was cured. That's good. I don't have to make them sad before leaving. It's good to leave like this."
Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please don't tell Mastiff about this. If he knows about it, he might be very uncomfortable. Anyway, in this life, I have killed enough enemies and enjoyed wealth. After this, I will also
No regrets”
"However, if I leave, all the officials in the East Palace are still young. I'm afraid that it will be difficult to solve whatever problem Mastiff has, and he can't ask Your Majesty for help in everything. Before I leave, I will give Hua Xiong a good lesson.
With him here, I can feel more at ease.”
The emperor closed his eyes, thought for a long time, sighed, and nodded.
Yuan Shu then continued to chat with the emperor, without any sadness or worry at all.
The emperor sent him away, but his heart was extremely complicated. He sat blankly in the Hall of Houde. Just after sitting for a while, he heard the report from the Han family and the prince came to see him. The emperor forcibly cheered up and let Liu Mastiff come in.
Liu Mastiff came in, paid homage to the Emperor, and sat in front of him.
Liu Mastiff's face looked very bad. The emperor stared at it for a moment and then asked: "What happened??"
Liu Mastiff raised his head, his eyes full of tears, and said: "Father, please agree to Shijun's request and let him help Hua Tuo. Dad doesn't know that Shijun is relying on Hua Tuo himself."
Made to disperse the pain, I don’t know how long he can hold on, Father, have mercy.”
Looking at the crying Liu Mastiff in front of him, the emperor looked surprised and asked: "What? Highway him?"
Pursing his lips, he sighed and said: "Mastiff, don't cry anymore, I know, I will agree."
"Thank you so much, Father! Thank you so much, Father!"
Looking at the prince who wiped away his tears and walked out of Houde Hall with red eyes, the emperor shook his head and sighed again.
After getting the emperor's permission, Yuan Shu took Zhou Yu and went to find Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was still distressed at first. Hearing that Yuan Shu was coming, he felt happy and went out to greet him. When Yuan Shu saw him, he smiled and stretched out his hand.
Said: "Captain Sili pretends to be an assistant to Yuan Shu and pays homage to Colonel Sili!"
When Hua Xiong heard this, he was stunned for a long time and did not react. Only when he saw the official uniform on Yuan Shu's body did he understand and was overjoyed.
He waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, just stand up. Although you are my subordinate, you have also been my commander-in-chief after all. I will not blame you for being rude!!!"
A group of three people were walking in the countryside of Sili. Hua Xiong stroked his dark eyes and asked: "Captain, aren't we going to meet the officials and the county magistrate?"
Yuan Shu shook his head and said seriously: "You two, remember, seeing is believing and hearing is false. These officials will never tell you the truth. They will only tell you what is most beneficial to them."
Things, and if you want to truly know the situation of a place, you must go and see it in person, go for a walk. At this time, you still have to be a student, dress up as a civilian, and go see it quietly."
"In this way, you can see the true reality."
"This is what my master told me, and you should keep it in mind."
