Huashan.

Mount Huashan, also known as "Xiyue", is one of the Five Mountains in China and is located a hundred miles west of Chang'an City.

Huashan Mountain is connected to the Qinling Mountains in the south and overlooks the Huangwei River in the north. It has been known as "the most dangerous mountain in the world" since ancient times.

Due to the status of Mount Huashan in the hearts of the Chinese people, emperors of the Han Dynasty since Qin Shihuang have often offered sacrifices to pray for Mount Huashan.

After returning to Chang'an from Changling, Liu Bei had the idea of ​​offering sacrifices to Huashan to pray for the people of the world.

However, Changling and his entourage made Liu Bei sick. In order not to aggravate his condition, Liu Bei issued an edict to send Grand Sima Miyang to offer sacrifices to Huashan for him.

After receiving Liu Bei's edict, Mi Yang led a sacrificial team to Huashan on the second day.

Because Huashan Mountain is hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City, and the sacrificial team had many ritual instruments, Mi Yang walked for more than two days before arriving at the foot of Huashan Mountain.

Huashan Mountain is the famous mountain with the most steep terrain in China. Throughout the ages, when wise rulers and ministers offered sacrifices to Huashan Mountain, they basically would not climb to the top of Huashan Mountain to offer sacrifices.

At the foot of Huashan Mountain there is a Xiyue Temple built during the period of Emperor Xiaowu, where Mi Yang's sacrificial activities were held.

After all the preparations for the sacrificial activities were made, Mi Yang, led by the etiquette officer, knelt down in the Jiling Palace of Xiyue Temple to pray for the Han people.

In addition to Mi Yang, those who came to offer sacrifices to Huashan this time were also a group of generals who made great contributions in the Northern Expedition.

Allowing them to sacrifice to Huashan together with Mi Yang is the honor bestowed upon them by Liu Bei.

After all, throughout the ages, only a handful of people have been able to offer sacrifices to famous mountains as ministers with the permission of the emperor.

Although they are not the officiants, it may be considered a great honor to accompany them.

Because they knew this, Jiang Wei, Wei Yan and others, who knelt down behind Mi Yang, had great joy on their faces.

After leaving Chang'an, they were unaware of the rumors circulating in Chang'an that Liu Bei was not in good health.

At present, they are under the leadership of Mi Yang, concentrating on enjoying the glory that is rare in a century.

As the chief priest of this sacrifice to Mount Huashan, Mi Yang should have felt even more honored and happy.

But what Jiang Wei and others didn't know was that Mi Yang's face was full of worry at this moment.

When he left Chang'an, he knew about Liu Bei's unwell health.

Although this hesitation was caused by an unusual wind and cold, Liu Bei was too old.

For the elderly who are nearly 70 years old in this world, an ordinary wind and cold may cause very bad consequences.

What's more, Liu Bei's body showed signs of deterioration as early as last year...

Thinking of this, Mi Yang leaned down heavily in front of the gods in the sky.

"I am twenty and seven this year. I only wish to enjoy another twenty years of spring and autumn, so that I can use it to regulate the world and bring peace.

If I have more than forty-seven years of salary in this life, I hope that God will give me the extra years of salary, please give it to me, Emperor Xuande!"

After making such a great wish seriously in her heart, Mi Yang raised her head and looked up into the sky with sincere eyes, and then bowed very devoutly.

As a person from later generations, Mi Yang originally did not believe in ghosts and gods.

Even if he traveled to the current world, Mi Yang still believed in some scientific explanations.

But for the sake of Liu Bei's body, Mi Yang was willing to put aside the materialism in his heart and pursue his idealism with the utmost sincerity.

Mi Yang truly regarded Liu Bei as his living relative.

But when Mi Yang raised his head after silently praying in his heart, he suddenly noticed a restless voice coming from outside the temple.

This restless voice was not only heard by Mi Yang, but also by the generals behind him.

The restless voice was spreading towards Mi Yang's location at an extremely fast speed, as if someone was anxiously looking for Mi Yang.

Mi Yang's sacrifice to Huashan this time brought thousands of Han army elites with him.

With such a strong defense force, no one in Guanzhong dares to offend Mi Yang.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess the cause of this restlessness - Chang'an!

Mi Yang couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart, and quickly turned around to look at Jiang Wei with anxious eyes.

After seeing Mi Yang's gaze, Jiang Wei immediately stood up and walked towards the outside world knowingly.

Not long after Jiang Wei left, a messenger from the palace was brought in by Jiang Wei.

This messenger is none other than Liu Chan's confidant Huang Hao.

The moment Huang Hao entered the temple and saw Mi Yang's figure, he couldn't help but kneel in front of Mi Yang and shouted eagerly:

"Da Sima!

Your Majesty summons you urgently!"

As soon as Huang Hao said this, Mi Yang's face changed drastically.

...

At Liu Bei's summons, all the ministers who were still sleeping in Chang'an City soon arrived outside Liu Bei's bedroom.

But Liu Bei did not summon them immediately. Liu Bei just summoned General Zhang Fei first.

Hundreds of Han ministers were sitting on the cold floor outside the dormitory, and the coldness on the floor was slowly spreading from their lower limbs to their entire bodies.

Even though there was a heating stove thoughtfully placed next to them, the warmth emanating from the stove was still unable to dispel their coldness.

Because their current coldness does not come from their bodies, but from the bottom of their hearts.

Liu Bei's unusual behavior made them suddenly feel uneasy after being comforted by Zhuge Liang.

Confusion, confusion, worry, and all kinds of emotions are constantly stirring in the hearts of every minister.

Is the fate of the great man about to change?

Compared to the silence outside the dormitory, Liu Bei's dormitory was now filled with sounds.

“What does it mean to be helpless?

Your Majesty is the heaven of the great man!

I don't care, if you can cure your majesty today, I will serve you as a benefactor in the future.

If you cannot cure His Majesty today, I will definitely punish you with death!"

Zhang Fei, eyes wide with anger, firmly grabbed the old doctor's collar.

While threatening the imperial doctor, Zhang Fei also kept shaking the old imperial doctor's body vigorously.

Thunderous roars kept ringing in the old doctor's ears, shocking him to the point of being frightened to death.

Zhang Fei has been in and out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood for many years. How can an imperial doctor resist the aura he carries?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! What's more, Zhang Fei's ferocious look due to anxiety now scared the old imperial doctor to the point of trembling all over and almost fainting.

But no matter how fearful we are, how can manpower compete with destiny?

This is not the first time something like this has happened to a big man.

"My lord, my lord..."

Seeing the old doctor's hesitating and useless look, Zhang Fei became even more angry. He subconsciously touched the sword at his waist.

For Liu Bei, he would do anything.

The moment Zhang Fei was about to commit murder in front of the palace, a sharp shout mixed with a cough immediately stopped Zhang Fei:

"Nonsense!"

This sharp shout was made by Liu Bei.

After hearing Liu Bei's cough, Zhang Fei immediately threw the old imperial doctor aside, then hurriedly ran to Liu Bei's bed, and said somewhat helplessly:

"I won't kill him anymore, I won't kill him anymore!

Brother, don’t be angry.”

As he talked, Zhang Fei wanted to personally serve Liu Bei and drink the medicine.

But looking at the empty medicine bowl on the side, Zhang Fei realized that Liu Bei had just finished drinking the medicine. At this moment, he couldn't bear it anymore and lay on Liu Bei's body and cried loudly:

"Brother is useless, brother is useless!"

Zhang Fei, a man with ten thousand enemies, could look down on him on the battlefield.

But he couldn't let his dearest brother relieve the torture caused by some illnesses.

A strong sense of guilt suddenly swept through Zhang Fei's body.

At this moment, Zhang Fei doesn't look like a powerful general in the world.

Looking at Zhang Fei crying, Liu Bei had a guilty look on his face.

Zhang Fei today reminded him of himself back then, when Guan Yu died.

For the three brothers who follow each other in life and death, the one left behind is often the one who suffers the most.

And now, he has no choice but to inflict this pain on his good brother.

"Yide, brother is leaving."
