Yuan Xi found Hua Tuo and learned about the Kong family's break-up of engagement, and was stunned.
Will Kong Rong’s daughter live long?
He frowned and said, "Is there nothing we can do?"
After hearing this, Hua Tuo sighed, "I have seen dozens of patients with such symptoms, but they all did not survive more than three to five years."
Yuan Xi's heart tightened and he clenched his fists.
Although the medical level is so advanced in later generations, there are still incurable diseases, let alone today.
But, he is still too young.
He left the house, feeling a little lost, and sat in the middle of the yard, stunned.
Cai Zhaoji was playing with Mrs. Wu's daughter when she saw Yuan Xi's appearance and wondered: "What happened?"
Yuan Xi told the story about Kong Rong's daughter. When Cai Zhaoji heard this, she was also surprised and asked: "Is there such a thing?"
"This... is such a pity."
Yuan Xiqiang smiled and said: "God is very fair in this regard. No matter rich or poor, no one knows how long her life span will be. I can only say that she is unlucky."
"But Mr. Yuanhua said that if you rest properly, you can live another year or two."
After hearing this, Cai Zhaoji sighed and nodded: "This is the only way."
"It's a pity that the marriage has been cancelled. It may also be a blow to her."
Yuan Xi looked at the girl in Cai Zhaoji's arms, suddenly thought of something, and said: "It seems that everyone should practice more of these five animals, including this child, it is always good for the body."
"You should also go to bed early and get up early in the future, and don't stay up late working on classics."
Cai Zhaoji hesitated and said: "But I'm not in a hurry..."
Yuan Xi said flatly: "No need to work so hard, you don't owe anyone anything."
"I will be happy if you can live longer."
Cai Zhaoji was moved after hearing this and nodded slightly.
Mrs. Wu was listening to the two people talking in the room, and she felt inexplicably sad when she thought about what happened at home.
Sometimes, even if you are in good health, you may not live a long life.
Is it because your husband killed too many people indiscriminately that you received retribution from God?
She looked at what Yuan Xi and Cai Zhaoji were talking about, and Cai Zhaoji turned her head to the side and leaned on Yuan Xi's shoulder, feeling faintly envious for some reason.
But when she saw Yuan Xi's back, she thought of the madness that night and felt uncomfortable again. What was going on!
And according to the relationship between Yuan Xi and Cai Zhaoji, what happened to him that night will be exposed sooner or later. How can he have the face to see anyone then?
Mrs. Wu's days are like years, and she lives every day with a feeling of self-deprecation.
In Xiapi City, Liu Bei was explaining things to his subordinates one by one. Now that he was personally in charge, he sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Pengcheng at the junction of Yuzhou and Xuzhou to guard against Cao Cao.
However, what puzzled Liu Bei's counselors was that there had been no movement since Cao Cao last asked Cao Ang to lead an army to attack Tancheng, but was repelled by Liu Bei's coalition forces.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led troops to the border to resist resistance. They sent spies to explore the surrounding area for hundreds of miles and found that there was no trace of Cao's army.
Later, when I inquired about the news, I found out that Cao Jun retreated to Yanzhou very simply!
Guan and Zhang were puzzled, but in case there was a fraud, they stationed themselves at the border and sent a letter to Liu Bei explaining the situation.
Liu Bei summoned his counselors and asked them what Cao Cao's intentions were. Everyone argued endlessly.
Jian Yong said: "Now that my lord has joined forces with the Yuan family, Cao Cao must have given up on Xuzhou because he was afraid that the Yuan family would blame him."
Sun Qian disagreed and said: "Cao Cao has coveted Xuzhou several times, how can he give in so easily?"
"In my opinion, I'm afraid I should go back and regroup the army to attack Xuzhou again."
Yuan Huan also echoed: "I heard that the second son of the Yuan family helped Xuzhou this time. They acted privately and did not get the consent of Jizhou."
"I heard that Yuan Xianfu, the third son who actually controlled Jizhou, was quite critical of this."
"Moreover, Yuan and Liu were allies earlier, and Cao Cao still came to attack, which shows that he doesn't care much about Yuan and Liu joining forces, and the plan is not small."
Everyone nodded after hearing this. The Yuan family itself was full of factions. If Yuan Xi hadn't called Yuan Tan last time, Jizhou would have just sat back and watched Liu Bei lose Xuzhou.
Moreover, according to the intelligence returned from the detailed operations in Yecheng, there is a saying among the people in Jizhou that Liu Bei is a master-devourer and cannot be allowed to become a powerful prince, otherwise it will definitely be detrimental to the allies.
Now it seems that this statement has affected Yuan Shao's decision-making, otherwise it would be impossible to remain indifferent until now.
Everyone looked at Liu Bei, but Liu Bei looked at Mi Zhu who had been silent. Mi Zhu was a little distracted at this time and did not notice Liu Bei's gaze.
Liu Bei coughed and said, "Zizhong, what do you think of Cao's movements?"
Mi Zhu came back to his senses and said: "It is true that Cao Cao coveted Xuzhou, but he fought several times and finally returned without success."
"If it were me, I wouldn't fight against Xuzhou because of this obsession. It's time to change the direction."
After everyone listened, they suddenly felt that what Mi Zhu said was very reasonable. No matter what happened within the Yuan family, now that the three parties had joined forces to guard Xuzhou, it had become a hard nut for Cao Cao to crack.
The matter of fighting is simple, but the subsequent relations with the three parties are difficult to deal with.
Liu Bei pondered and said: "In that case, Xuzhou will have no worries for the time being?"
"Then where will Cao Cao attack next?"
Everyone looked at each other, no one could tell. Seeing that Liu Bei didn't stand up at this time, he felt irritable. No one was willing to be the backbone, so how could he make a decision?
Only then did he realize that the departure of Chen Qun and Chen Deng had caused him great losses!
He waved everyone to disperse, but he left Mi Zhu behind and said directly: "Zizhong, I need counselors, more counselors."
"I hope Zizhong can secretly look for talented people for me. I can only rest assured if I leave this matter to Zizhong."
Mi Zhu quickly accepted the order and heard Liu Bei say: "I sent Zifang to Donghai County to be the governor. Zizhong won't blame me, right?"
Mi Zhu hurriedly bowed and said, "How can my younger brother be so virtuous and qualified as a county guard? It's all because of the Lord's great love. Zhu is extremely frightened."
Liu Bei nodded slightly. In fact, both of them understood that Mi Fang was mediocre in talent and had a very average relationship with everyone. She especially had conflicts with Guan Yu.
Although Guan Yu looked down upon the scholars, he was fair in his work and was highly respected by Liu Bei's subordinate officials. Therefore, although they kept a distance from him, they at least showed respect to Guan Yu on weekdays.
However, Mi Fang has always hated Guan Yu because of a small incident in the past. Since she left her job, she has been against Guan Yu in everything, making the relationship between the two even worse.
Mi Zhu tried his best to mediate, but Mi Fang felt good about herself and refused to listen to Mi Zhu's advice. Mi Zhu saw that it was not good and realized that if Mi Fang continued like this, the Mi family would be implicated sooner or later, so he suggested to Liu Bei that Mi Fang be moved to the position of governor of Donghai.
Donghai County is located in the northeast of Xiapi, adjacent to Langya to the north and Guangling to the south. It is Liu Bei's only remaining coastal county. Putting Mi Fang there, between the two Yuan and Liu Bei's governorships, it should be more honest.
Liu Bei immediately agreed, and although Mi Fang was somewhat reluctant, she still took up her post in the East China Sea.
Mi Zhu stood up and said hesitantly: "My sister-in-law also followed Mi Fang to Haixi. Zhu did not handle this matter well and damaged my lord's reputation. I am really ashamed."
After hearing this, Liu Bei waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, Zhong. It's all just gossip and nothing to worry about."
If Mi Zhu's thoughts were really just rumors, why would they be like this?
At Liu Bei's suggestion, Mi Zhu asked Mi Zhen to follow him to the East China Sea, because now the rumors in the city had affected Liu Bei's reputation, and it was really not suitable for Mi Zhen to continue to stay in Xiapi.
It is said that the cause of this incident is Yuan Xi. Liu Bei still doesn't know whether he wants to resent Yuan Xi or thank him.
Originally, after Liu Bei's wife was kidnapped, under Mi Zhu's plan, Liu Bei married Mi Zhen, which was a matter of mutual satisfaction and satisfaction for both parties.
The bad thing is that Yuan Xi sent Liu Bei's wife and daughter back, and things turned out to be unknown.
If you marry, you will be criticized by others for having impure intentions. If you don't marry, you will not be able to fulfill your promise to the Mi family.
Although Liu Bei gave Mi Fang an official position as compensation, Mi Zhen's marriage was unresolved and had become a joke.
In fact, for Liu Bei, the reputation he wants to establish is much more important than a mere Mi Zhen, but now he is riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
At this time, Yuan Xi rescued Liu Bei in an extremely awkward way.
He asked Guo Jia to propose marriage to the Mi family on his behalf and asked Na to marry Mi Zhen!
When this matter reached the ears of Liu Bei's subordinates, their first reaction was that Yuan Xi had evil intentions and wanted to drive a wedge between the Mi family and Liu Bei.
But then everyone thought about it and realized that this was a new way to solve Liu Bei's current predicament!
With Yuan Xi's proposal, Liu Bei had the opportunity to reject the marriage with the Mi family in a high-sounding manner, and at the same time gain a reputation for adult beauty.
But Liu Bei's goal has been achieved long ago. The Mi family has contributed goods, Liu Bei has obtained money, food, soldiers and horses. Marrying Mi Zhen is not worth mentioning in the fight for world hegemony.
Liu Bei even wondered if Yuan Xi was selling himself a favor?
But considering the rumors about Yuan Xi's lust, maybe he just wants to marry Mi Zhen?
Liu Bei would rather be the latter, because if it is the former, it means that Yuan Xi is too scheming, and his schemes have reached the level of conspiracy. He takes advantage of the general situation and makes people have to act according to his intentions. If this is true, then
That's terrible!
Liu Bei felt deep fear in his heart, but he was also a decisive person. He let Mi Fang take Mi Zhen away, indicating that he had no intention of getting involved with Mi Zhen in the future. As for what happened next, it was the business of Yuan Xi and the Mi family.
Sure enough, after Liu Bei announced the news, the rumors immediately ceased, and his reputation for benevolence became even stronger. Rich families from all over the world praised Liu Bei for not being a womanizer, and for his high moral integrity, which is really admirable.
But the ball was kicked to the Mi family again, and Mi Zhu was in trouble because he wanted to refuse but wanted to show off, but Yuan Xi went directly back to Guangling and seemed to have no intention of proposing a marriage to the Mi family.
Forgot something!
Mi Zhu has been scratching her head and head anxiously these days. Didn't you come to propose marriage to Yuan Xi? Why did you leave so quietly? What should I do?
I can't lick my face anymore and ask her face to face, what should I do with my sister?
The one who is even more troubled is Mi Zhen. Now she is in Qu County, the East China Sea Administrative Office to the northwest of the sea, looking towards Haixi City in the south.
The two cities are separated by only the Huaihe River, and Qu County is also a natural seaport.
At this time, the Mi family's mansion was built at the highest point in the city. Mi Zhen was in the small building, sitting and watching the vast sea outside the city.
She was afraid that what she said to Zhen Mi offended Yuan Xi, so she was left alone.
