Chapter 403: The times are not favorable for brotherly love

Although he was hit by several arrows, Liu Bei did not notice any difference on the arrows. With the help of Wei Yan and Xu Chu, he cut off the arrow shafts and walked towards Wuling City. Just walking, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

After standing there for a moment and shaking for a moment, Liu Bei covered his forehead and fell to the ground.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Liu Bei pretended to be tough and didn't want anyone to help him. Xu Chu and Wei Yan complained as they walked away. After a long while, they didn't hear Liu Bei's words. When they looked back, Liu Bei was already sleeping on the ground.

The people rushed over and helped Liu Bei up.

"I...It's so cold..." Liu Bei's face was livid, his mouth was purple, big beads of sweat were sliding down his forehead, but his body was shaking constantly.

"Is the eldest brother poisoned?" How can we not understand the situation of foreigners when we are close to foreigners? Wei Yan once saw soldiers injured by weapons poisoned by Wuxi barbarians. Liu Bei's symptoms were very similar to those of the poisoned soldiers.

"Could it be those arrows?" Xu Chu was anxious. He raised Liu Bei's hands and feet, and with a sneer, he tore open the clothes where the arrow was hit. He saw Liu Bei's white, curled right thigh, near an iron arrow.

All black and purple.

"This... call the doctor quickly." Looking at the purple-black color on Liu Bei's legs, Wei Yan was shocked. You know, the poisonous arrows of the barbarians are very powerful, and some of the poisons can even seal the throat at the sight of blood.

"Second brother, you go find the doctor, I will take the eldest brother back to the palace." Xu Chu picked up Liu Bei on his back without saying a word and left. Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, then rushed to the military camp and dragged a military doctor to the city lord's palace.

Liu Bei's military doctors were all recruited civilian doctors, almost all of whom were old men. Being dragged away by Wei Yan like this was life-threatening. In the end, Wei Yan couldn't stand the speed of the military doctor, so he actually carried him on his shoulders and rushed to the city lord's palace. On the way.

The passers-by were a little dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They had heard of women being raped, but they had never seen an old man being raped.

"Give way!" Wei Yan yelled as he ran. There were many people blocking the road, and he felt like they were hit by a crazy bull. Some people were not angry about being hit, and wanted to argue with Wei Yan, but they were pulled back. Wei Yan was in a hurry.

In order to treat Liu Bei's injuries, he didn't bother to argue with those people. He rushed all the way to the city guard's house. Now even the people in the city guard's house were a little surprised. Just now, Xu Chufeng carried Liu Bei back in a hurry, and now Wei Yan carried him back.

However, Wei Yan and Xu Chu had always been domineering, and outsiders did not dare to say anything.

"Second brother, have you invited the doctor?" Seeing Wei Yan carrying a person on his shoulders, Xu Chu was also a little puzzled.

"Here we come." After placing the general doctor on the ground, Wei Yan said anxiously, "Let's see how big brother is doing?"

The military doctor was already fifty or sixty years old, and he still rode Wei Yan's wild horse. He was so stunned that he was dizzy. Judging from his face, he was no better than Liu Bei who was lying on the couch. Wei Yan put him back

On the ground, he still felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and his eyes were full of stars. Let alone cure his illness, it was even difficult to stand still.

"Second brother, where did you find a drunk doctor?" Seeing the military doctor staggering, Xu Chu thought he had drunk too much and couldn't help but feel angry.

"This is the best doctor in the military camp." Wei Yan frowned and said, "Who dares to drink in the military camp? And when I saw him, he was still very good."

"Then why is he like this?" Xu Chu pointed at the doctor who was about to fall over and said, "Is it possible that he is just faking it?"

"How do I know?" Wei Yan frowned. How could he remember that the doctor came riding on his fierce horse?

"He was tricked by you." How could Liu Bei not inform Liao Li about such a big thing as being poisoned by an arrow? Liao Li, who came in a hurry, naturally heard about the behavior of Wei Yan and Xu Chu. He immediately understood the doctor's condition and asked shìnv

The doctor is asked to sit down.

"General Wei, you almost killed me." After pouring down a bowl of tea, the doctor finally recovered a little. He slumped on the chair and said, "Even if you want to treat the disease, you have to bring me the medicine box, otherwise

Even if I know the symptoms, I can't do anything about them."

"Uh..." Wei Yan finally understood what haste makes waste, but Liu Bei was in danger, and he was really in no mood to feel ashamed, so he said: "Old man, I am reckless, but my brother's life is hanging by a thread, please tell me, your

Where is the yào box? When my brother recovers from his illness, I will definitely apologize."

"General, you don't have to be like this." After half a quarter of an hour's rest, the doctor was almost recovered. He twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Go to the military camp and find my apprentice. He will give you the medicine box. I will check your lord's pulse first."

"Thank you very much." Wei Yan cupped his fists and hurriedly walked out of the house to get the medicine box for the doctor.

The doctor who recovered from his illness stretched out three thin fingers and gently put them on Liu Bei's wrist. He was silent for a long time, his brows were all tangled together, which made Liao Li and Xu Chu's hearts twitch. After half an hour, the doctor

He said in a deep voice: "I can keep my lord safe, but I can't cure his poison. The best way is to cut out the poisonous flesh, but I don't have this ability."

"This..." Liao Li asked in a deep voice: "Is there any way to detoxify it?"

"Yes," the doctor said: "Everything born with poison must have something to overcome it, so this poison must have an antidote. As long as the antidote can be found, it can be detoxified."

Liao Li turned around and asked: "Third General, who put the poison on my lord?"

"It's the Wuxi barbarians." Xu Chu said with a bitter smile: "Today we went to invite Wolong. Unexpectedly, the person who came to invite Wolong was actually Liu Zhang. The Wuxi barbarians blamed us for embarrassing themselves in front of Liu Zhang, so they ambush us on the way back. Among the eldest brothers

caught their poisonous arrows”

"Wuximan?" The doctor laughed when he heard this and said, "Fortunately it's Wuximan. If it were any other poison, I would have had no choice but to do anything. Now, although I can't cure it, I can still keep my lord safe. Three Generals."

, if you want your lord to recover, there are only two ways. One is to find a solution, and the other is to find Zhang Ji and Zhang Zhongjing, the governor of Changsha, who is very knowledgeable about internal diseases."

"Zhang Ji will definitely not be able to invite him. He took refuge with Liu Zhang more than a year ago." Liao Li frowned and said, "As for the solution, if it costs a lot of money, I don't know if I can buy it from Wuxi Man."

"It doesn't have to be Wuxi Barbarian." The doctor smiled and said, "Barbarians can cure the poison of the Barbarians. Wuxi Barbarian can't, but Southern Barbarians can also cure it."

"I understand." Liao Li glanced at the doctor and said with a smile: "The old man is very knowledgeable in medicine. I admire you very much. Please watch my lord carefully before the cure arrives, so as not to put him in danger."

"This is my duty, and I don't need to be reminded by the military advisor." The doctor bowed and said, "I also ask the military advisor to send an envoy as soon as possible. If it is delayed for a long time, I may not be able to do anything."

"It's easy to say." Liao Li immediately ordered everyone under Liu Bei's command to gather together and prepare to send envoys to Xianggao County to invite a witch doctor back from the southern barbarians.

After Liao Li understood all the situation, Wei Yan came back sweating profusely. Although the temperature in spring and summer was very comfortable, it was a bit hot and humid in the south. Wei Yan, who was in a hurry, handed the medicine box to the doctor and urged

The doctor treated Liu Bei. The old doctor was indeed an extraordinary person. He woke up Liu Bei with just a few injections.

"Where is this?" Being sick can make people confused, let alone poisoning? Liu Bei looked at everyone and asked with confusion on his face: "What's wrong with me?"

"Brother, you have been poisoned by an arrow." Xu Chu's voice was not small, and his words made everyone's ears buzz.

"Keep your voice down" Liao Li couldn't help but frown and said: "My lord is the pillar of the army. Even if he is injured, he cannot let others know about it, so as not to affect the morale of the army."

"This..." Seeing that Liu Bei was injured, Xu Chu was already angry. He was lectured by Liao Li again. He almost jumped up, but Wei Yan held him down.

"My elder brother is ill, which is the biggest secret in our army. What the military advisor said is very reasonable. Third brother, please don't mess around." Wei Yan saluted Liao Li and said sternly: "Military advisor, my elder brother is ill today and I have to rely on the military advisor for help."

, our brothers were rude in the past, I would like to apologize to you, and I hope you will have more."

"Second General, what are you doing?" Liao Li said with a smile: "You are rude to me, don't you regard me as one of your own? Just say, have you ever had any etiquette between you and my lord? If you are so polite in normal times,

That would be rude to me. As for government affairs, there is no need for you to worry that since I have defected to the lord, I will naturally share his worries."

"Military advisor, it's all up to you now." Liu Bei also understood his state. He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect Samoko to be so vicious and use this method to deal with me."

Liao Li smiled and said: "My lord, I don't know. Foreigners never follow the rules and often do whatever they want. Back then, the imperial court sent a large army to conquer the barbarians. They crossed the mountains and were defeated by poison several times. Now Samoko has surrendered to Liu Zhang. He is angry."

My lord only used poison to ruin his good deeds. This is not bad. But don’t worry lord, I will send someone to find the Southern Barbarian King. He will definitely help my lord detoxify."

"Thank you, military advisor." After talking for a long time, Liu Bei felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes and said softly: "During my illness, all affairs under my command have been handed over to the military advisor. As for military affairs, Ziyi will be responsible for it."

"I am determined to serve my lord to the death." Liao Li had the same thoughts as Zhuge Liang when he defected to Liu Bei. Since he could monopolize power, of course he would not let him

"That's it." Liu Bei sighed and said, "Official matters are important. Second brother and third brother will stay with me. You can go ahead."

Liu Bei ordered the guests to be kicked out, and everyone slowly retreated. Liao Li glanced at him and bowed to leave. He had been brothers with Liu Bei for twenty years. Wei Yan waited for everyone to leave before asking: "Brother, you let us brothers stay."

, do you have something to say?"

"Second brother is indeed very smart." Liu Bei suddenly opened his eyes, and at that moment, a cold light flashed through him. Wei Yan and Xu Chu were shocked, because every time Liu Bei showed such a look, he would make a major decision.

"Please give me your orders, my lord." Although they are brothers and sisters with Liu Bei, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be sloppy. At this moment, Wei Yan and Xu Chu seemed to see the domineering aura in Liu Bei.

"Second brother, third brother, there is no need to do this." Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "You have been following me for more than twenty years, right?"

"For twenty years," Wei Yan said with a smile, "If it weren't for my lord, I would still be a guard in Yiyang City."

Liu Bei frowned and said: "Second brother, there is no need to be like this. In this world, you two are the only ones worthy of my trust. Now, I am poisoned but have no heirs. If I return unfortunately, my inheritance will belong to others..."

"Brother, you will be fine," Xu Chu said anxiously: "Brother, you are in the position of the emperor. You haven't become the emperor yet, how could you..."

"Third brother, the eldest brother is just in case. Just listen to what I have to say." Liu Bei grabbed Xu Chu's hand and forced a smile. "You have followed me for twenty years. I am really incompetent and can't give you anything. What if something happens to me?"

Unfortunately, you should use Wuling as a gift to meet me and go to Cao Cao to ask him to avenge me."

"Brother, nothing will happen to you." Wei Yan said with wide eyes, "If you have any misfortune, I will definitely use the soldiers of Wuling to avenge you."

"Second brother, although you are outstanding in ability, you are no match for Liu Jiyu." Liu Bei smiled bitterly and said: "Rather than risk your life in vain, it is better to be useful and avenge me."

"Brother, although my younger brother is not talented, he still has a strategist." All famous generals have backbone, and who would be willing to serve the second master unless they are forced to do so? Seeing Liu Bei arranging for himself to join Cao Cao, Wei Yan was heartbroken even if he had a good impression of Cao Cao.

"If there is no military advisor, I wouldn't worry about it," Liu Bei said. "The military advisor is very scheming and utilitarian. If I die, he will most likely join a powerful person. Who else is more powerful than Liu Zhang now? I won't hide it.

Two worthy brothers, your sister-in-law Gan is already pregnant with Liujia. If she gives birth to Lin'er, I will be considered a heir. But if the military advisor defectes to Liu Zhang, with Liu Zhang's attitude towards me, I must not even have the last trace of my blood.

Can’t keep it…”

"Brother, you don't need to say anything." Xu Chu wiped his red eyes and said, "If brother makes a mistake, we will avenge you. If the military advisor wants to take refuge with Liu Zhang, I swear to kill him."

"Third brother" Liu Bei said: "I hope you can keep my bloodline. Why don't you understand?"

"It's not that we don't understand, it's that the eldest brother underestimates us." Wei Yan said with red eyes: "If you want to preserve the bloodline, the eldest brother only needs to ask the uncle to take the sister-in-law to defect to Cao Cao. With Cao Cao's character, he will never harm the eldest brother.

Family members, why do you want us to surrender as a whole? Is it true that the elder brother wants to protect our bloodline, but is it true that he wants us to live well? Does the elder brother want us to break our oath?"

"Two worthy brothers, I am much older than you, why are you doing this?" Liu Bei closed his eyes, looking helpless. He had long known that he had no hope of rising, but now that he was poisoned by an arrow, he felt even more desperate. In despair,

He has no other thoughts, he just wants to preserve his bloodline and have a good relationship with his brothers

"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day." Wei Yan and Xu Chu shouted in unison and knelt down in front of Liu Bei's couch.

"I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day." Liu Bei murmured to himself, and another burst of light burst out from his eyes. He seemed to have seen three like-minded young people kneeling together twenty years ago.
