Kong Rong knew that he could not refuse, and he was so angry that he walked around the room and kept saying: "It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"
He glanced at his wife beside him, and felt even more irritated, saying, "You shouldn't have shared a car with that Yuan family in the first place!"
"That man even took in Gongsun Zan's widow, you."
Kong Rong's wife sneered: "Isn't that because the East China Sea fell and our mother and daughter didn't escape?"
"I was rescued just now by being escorted back. I don't know who was embarrassed."
Kong Rong said angrily: "Speaking of which, I haven't settled the score with that boy yet. Although he saved us several times, if it hadn't been for his Yuan family to attack Qingzhou, we would still be staying in Beihai. How could there be so many things happening later?"
Mrs. Kong Rong said: "I don't understand the war, so what do you think I should do?"
"Don't you just dislike us as mother and daughter? It's too late for me to divorce you now, please."
Kong Rong choked for a moment, waved his hand irritably, and said: "Don't mention the past anymore, we are just a husband and wife. It's uncertain whether I will live or die in Luoyang this time, so you don't have to go with me."
"If I die, you can remarry yourself."
After hearing this, Mrs. Kong Rong said coldly: "I have been arrested twice, and I still want to change the lintel. I can't afford to lose that person."
"If I follow you, I'll probably die."
Kong Rong sighed after hearing this.
Mrs. Kong Rong said angrily: "I just don't worry about our daughter. We have reached this age and there is nothing to think about. But she is still young, why should she accompany us into danger?"
"Originally, I was thinking of finding a good husband for her, but it seems that even if she gets married, the Yang family won't be much better to her."
Kong Rong said sadly: "Now that we are here, how can we find someone who is a good match for her?"
"At worst, we'll see tomorrow. If there are no twists and turns, can Yang still be able to deny it?"
Mrs. Kong Rong worried: "What if they spread rumors and slander our children?"
Kong Rong sneered and said: "I don't believe it, they dare to tell lies under my nose!"
Early the next morning, the elder of the Yang clan came to visit with Hua Tuo.
Seeing the tense situation between the two parties, Hua Tuo thought to himself that if he hadn't given him more money, he wouldn't have wanted to get involved in the affairs of the two families!
After a few pleasantries, the two sides got down to business. Mrs. Kong Rong asked the maid to bring her daughter over.
Kong Rong's daughter came out with her head lowered, met Hua Tuo, and said softly: "I have met Mr."
At that time, Hua Tuo had already become famous all over the world for his medical practice. In addition, most of the people who could seek medical treatment from him were the nobles, so Hua Tuo's reputation was quite famous among the nobles.
Hua Tuo looked at the elder of the Yang clan, saw the elder nodded slightly, and said to Kong Rong, "I want to diagnose his pulse."
Kong Rong hesitated for a moment and said to his daughter: "Stretch out your hand."
After hearing this, Kong Rong's daughter obediently stretched out her hand and put it on the table.
Hua Tuo walked to the opposite side and sat down, put a finger on the girl's veins, and then closed his eyes.
He was actually quite hesitant in his heart, wondering if there was anything else he could do, so he might as well find a reason to fool him.
She is a doctor but not a stable woman. It is obvious that Yang wants to show off her face and cannot do anything like a direct physical examination, so she pushed herself out. It can only be said that she has no good intentions.
With this kind of thinking, why should I speak to Mr. Yang?
Thinking of this, he was about to speak when he felt the vibration on his pulse. Suddenly his expression tightened and he opened his eyes.
He changed his position to feel the pulse again, and after a while, he placed another finger on it.
After a while, Hua Tuo's expression became more solemn and he said to Kong Rong's daughter: "Open your mouth and take a look."
Kong Rong's daughter did as she was told, and Hua Tuo carefully looked at the look on her brows, and finally withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and remained silent.
Kong Rong's family and the Yang clan always saw him with a serious look on his face, and they thought it was just a show. Is it necessary to pretend to be so similar?
After a long time, Hua Tuo slowly said: "Thousand yuan. I may only have three to five years to live."
As soon as these words came out, although the elder of the Yang clan looked happy, Kong Rong and his wife could not hide the anger on their faces.
Kong Rong's daughter retracted her wrist, feeling a little happy for some reason.
The old man of the Yang clan stood up and said to Kong Rong: "Since your daughter is indeed in poor health, it seems that this prophecy is very effective."
"I need to go back and explain this matter to the clan leader to see if it will hinder the marriage between the two families. I don't know what will happen under the public will of Wen Ju?"
Kong Rong snorted coldly: "You Yang family put on a good show, why do you need to ask me?"
"You don't have to go back and ask the secrets of the sheep. I make the decision now, and the marriage between the two families is over."
"Come here, please bring the marriage certificate and the betrothal gift. Please take them back!"
After a while, the wedding documents and betrothal gifts were piled up in front of the Yang clan elder. When he saw it, he smiled and said, "I'll go back and ask first if this is the case."
"No need!" Kong Rong shouted: "Yang doesn't want to bear the bad reputation of regretting the marriage, I don't care!"
"Take your things and leave quickly!"
Seeing the old Yang clan leaving in a slightly embarrassed manner with their things, Mrs. Kong Rong pulled her daughter into her arms and shook her head without saying a word.
Kong Rong turned to Hua Tuo and said, "It makes you laugh to make such a fuss."
"I know that your husband must have some difficulties when he is entrusted by others, but I, Kong, still have to pay for the consultation fee."
At this time, Hua Tuo said: "Does Duke Wenju think that I am talking nonsense?"
"I didn't lie."
"It can take as long as three years, or as little as five years, or a thousand yuan. Your life span will be over."
Kong Rong's family was suddenly stunned.
Kong Rong's daughter's face turned pale and her body began to sway. Mrs. Kong Rong quickly supported her and said anxiously: "Sir, are you kidding me?"
Hua Tuo said in a deep voice: "Maybe I am wrong, but according to my current experience, the girl is most likely to have a terminal disease."
After hearing this, Mrs. Kong Rong's eyes darkened, and Kong Rong said solemnly: "What's the disease?"
Hua Tuo thought deeply: "Judging from the pulse, it looks very much like tuberculosis, but the girl is in good spirits and does not have the coughing and fatigue of tuberculosis. It is probably a similar disease."
"The girl's body is internally deficient and cannot be replenished. It can only be adjusted through diet and medicinal materials. As for how long it can last, I am not sure."
After hearing this, Kong Rong felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. After a long time, he said in a solemn voice: "Is there really no other way?"
Hua Tuo looked a little ashamed and said, "I'm sorry that I can't do anything."
Kong Rong stood stunned for a long time, then asked someone to pay Hua Tuo the medical fee. Hua Tuo refused and left.
Kong Rong looked at his daughter, feeling quite uncomfortable, and said: "You can rest in peace and recuperate. I will go to Luoyang now, and I will entrust the friends I have made to adopt her for you."
After hearing this, the girl lowered her head, then raised her head and said, "I want to go with my father."
After hearing this, Mrs. Kong Rong said anxiously: "The road to Luoyang is full of dangers. Not only is it tiring to travel long distances, but there are also military and bandit disasters along the way. What should I do if something unexpected happens?"
The girl whispered: "My daughter has not yet fulfilled her filial piety in front of her father and mother."
"Since I don't have a few more years to live, let my daughter stay with her parents."
Mrs. Kong Rong shed tears after hearing this.
Kong Rong stood up and walked out, his steps staggering a little, and said, "It's up to you."
When Hua Tuo returned to Chen Deng's residence, Chen Deng was asking his servants to pack their bags. When he saw Hua Tuo coming back, he said, "Sir, do you want to go to Tancheng with me?"
"I heard that Duke Xuande recaptured Xuzhou with the help of the two young masters of the Yuan family, and I was about to invite Mr. Xianyi to meet in Tancheng."
"Sir, follow me back and you can meet Mr. Xianyi."
Hua Tuo thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go see him and see if he really understands the medical skills that I don't know."
He originally didn't want to travel back and forth, but the unknown illness of Kong Rong's daughter touched him a lot today, and made Hua Tuo realize that there is still a long way to go to treat diseases and save people, and improve medical skills.
Since Chen Deng admires Yuan Xi so much, he should go and have a look. At worst, the trip will be in vain.
After receiving Liu Bei's letter, Yuan Xi summoned everyone and said: "This trip depends on how much territory I can get. I must go."
"Mr. Fengxiao, as the mastermind, must accompany me."
Guo Jia cursed in his heart, what kind of mastermind? Do I have any subordinates to control?
Although I am the only one who comes up with ideas and no one is against me, it doesn't bother me, but I have to think about all the trivial matters, no matter how big or small, and no one can do that!
No, I have to find a way to recommend more people, otherwise if this continues, I will die from exhaustion before I die from women!
Yuan Xi added: "After I leave, Guangling City cannot be left unattended. I would like to ask Brother Ziyi to take on this important task."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci stood up and accepted the order.
Yuan Xi turned to Tian Yu again, "Brother, hello Xuande Bus, how about coming with me?"
Tian Yu hurriedly said: "Follow your orders."
Yuan Xi arranged everything, and after everyone discussed it, they felt that there should be no obvious flaws in Guangling, so Yuan Xi ordered everyone to go back and arrange city affairs.
Everyone dispersed, and Yuan Xi called Tai Shici alone and kept him behind.
He said: "Brother Ziyi, what do you think of Guangling?"
Taishi Ci was stunned and said: "This place is very important. If we can occupy it, it will be very helpful to the master's great cause."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi nodded and said: "I think so too. This place cannot be compromised for me, so I can only hand it over to the people I trust most."
"I would like to ask my sworn brother to sit here."
"What's more, Ziyi is in Donglai and has been familiar with water since he was a child. He can also help me train a strong water warfare army."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Since you have entrusted me with something, I will do my best to ensure that this place is not lost."
"But kindness is good at military affairs, but not at domestic affairs, and the soldiers here are not easy to persuade, so we need the help of officials who are good at political affairs."
Yuan Xi listened and nodded: "I understand. I will find someone to help you when the time comes."
Just when Taishi Cici was about to agree, Yuan Xi said again: "I am going to send someone to Yecheng to pick up the family of my sworn brother."
"I heard that the old lady was weak and could not bear the cold in the north, so I didn't let my sworn brother take her to Beixin City at that time."
"But staying in Yecheng is not an option. After thinking about it, it's best for my sworn brother to stay with me and take care of myself. What do you think?"
Taishi Ci was moved in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Ci will definitely live up to the trust of the young master!"
In ancient times, most generals and officials were concentrated in one place to prevent betrayal, but Yuan Xi allowed Taishi Ci to take his family with him, which showed his trust in Taishi Ci.
Yuan Xi returned to the mansion and told Zhen Mi that he was going to Tancheng. He originally wanted Zhen Mi to stay in Guangling, but Zhen Mi wanted to go with him.
