Zhao Yun's face turned from pale to rosy. Although he was not awake yet, even a person who did not understand medical skills could tell that Zhao Yun's condition was much better than before.
During these three days, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao, and Cao Pi all watched over Zhao Yun step by step.
Especially Cao Pi...
Every time he came to visit Zhao Yun, his eyes were extremely complicated.
That look in her eyes was like that of a pregnant mother looking forward to the birth of her child, with a kind of indescribable kindness.
It was He Yan who got goosebumps all over his body every time he saw Cao Pi's eyes.
"Cao Pi, Cao Jie asked me to bring you chicken soup."
Cao Pi actually lost a lot of blood to Zhao Yun, and he looked very sick these days. Cao Jie was also extremely considerate, and the Sikong Mansion helped Cao Pi make chicken soup and asked He Yan to deliver it.
"Sent from Cao Jie?"
Cao Pi looked at the food box in He Yan's hand warily: "Are you sure she didn't do anything immoral?"
"No! The herbs for making the soup were all given to her by Hua Tuo. They are all great tonics."
With Hua Tuo's sign, Cao Pi was willing to take the food box, but when he opened it, he was dumbfounded——
"Is this really chicken soup?"
"Is there a problem?"
“Why is there no chicken in this chicken soup?”
“The nutrition is all in the soup!”
"hehe!"
Cao Pi stared at He Yan's glossy lips, full of suspicion that He Yan had molested his penis.
"Don't look at me like that, everyone has a share! Cao Jie and I ate chicken legs, Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang ate chicken wings, Cao Zhen ate chicken breasts... By the way, why is Cao Zhen's kid getting fatter and fatter? How about pulling him away sometime?
Come to the military camp to exercise?"
Cao Pi's face was full of grief and anger: "What about me?"
He Yan pointed at the chicken soup with his chin: "There is still some in the bowl."
Cao Pi gently scooped it up with a spoon, and finally found a piece of chicken butt that exuded the aroma of fat...
"Clang!"
After slamming the spoon down, Cao Pi pouted in grievance, giving people the feeling that he was about to cry at the next moment.
He Yan stepped forward, pulled out the bottom of the food box, and placed a portion of more than a kilogram of meat in front of Cao Pi.
"This is?"
Staring at the familiar lines, Cao Pi turned his head faster than flipping through a book. All the grievances he felt just now disappeared and turned into surprise.
"Is this beef?"
Cao Pi couldn't believe it and directly took a piece of it and put it in his mouth. Only when the mellow meat flavor filled his mouth did Cao Pi nod with satisfaction.
Cattle are an important labor force in farming civilization, and the government has always prohibited the killing of cattle.
Even though Cao Pi was the heir to Cao Cao, he might only eat beef once or twice a year, so this beef shouldn't be a big surprise to Cao Pi!
Moreover, even if Cao Pi wanted to eat beef, he could only eat farm cattle that had died of old age. Not to mention that it was tasteless.
But this piece of beef that He Yan gave him was so tender and fragrant that once he tasted it, he knew it was a young calf!
"He Yan, killing cows is illegal! Don't get caught."
He Yan packed the food box carelessly: "Don't worry, I didn't kill this cow, it fell to death on its own."
Fallen to death?
Cao Pi narrowed his eyes and smiled knowingly at He Yan.
It is foreseeable that from today on, more and more cattle will be killed in Xuchang...
While Cao Pi was enjoying his meal, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also walked in together, but their faces were still somewhat awkward and uncomfortable.
"Hua Tuo said that Zilong will wake up tomorrow at the latest and there is no longer any fear for his life... This time, I would like to thank Marquis Shen and the Crown Prince."
"Woooo..."
He Yan ignored Guan Yu's thanks, but Cao Pi knew that Guan Yu was his father's favorite, so he quickly swallowed the meat in his mouth with great difficulty and said with a smile: "General Guan, what are you talking about? I was an old friend of General Zhao before.
Now that General Zhao is in trouble, I will naturally not stand by and watch!"
Guan Yu bowed to Cao Pi gently, thanked Cao Pi again, and then turned his peripheral vision on He Yan.
"Marquis Shen, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
He Yan raised his eyebrows: "General Guan, don't you remember that you personally drove me out of your mansion a few days ago?"
As soon as these words came out, the proud Guan Yu's face immediately turned red, but he did not dare to take offense at He Yan.
"Forget it, let's go."
The two big men, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, were standing in the room to block the light, so He Yan got up and walked out of the room.
Guan Yu followed closely behind, following He Yan all the way to the outskirts of Xinglin Courtyard.
The yellow leaves all over the sky dyed the ground of Xinglinyuan golden. Two figures walked one after another on the avenue. With the sunlight cut by the branches, there was a romantic ambiguity no matter how you looked at it.
But it's a pity.
The people walking on the road were not a man and a woman, but He Yan and Guan Yu.
The two of them were walking aimlessly, and when they were about to leave the Xinglin Courtyard, Guan Yu called out to He Yan with the bloody lips under his beautiful beard.
"Marquis Shen, thank you very much for saving Zilong. Guan will definitely repay you for such a great kindness!"
If it weren't for He Yan, Zhao Yun would probably be a corpse lying in a coffin now. This was undoubtedly a cruel thing for Guan Yu, who didn't have many friends.
"General Guan, Cao Pi's answer just now is also my answer. I saved Zilong because he and I are old acquaintances and have nothing to do with you."
He Yan didn't accept Guan Yu's tricks and his expression remained cold.
"And I didn't come out with you to talk about Zilong."
He Yan casually took a fallen leaf that fell from the sky, and said to himself: "Liu Bei, Liu Xuande."
"This man has passed away. In fact, I don't want to talk about him. After all, everyone else is still alive. Compared with others... he is actually not important at all."
"Among the others, you, General Guan, Zhang Fei, Zilong and the others are also included."
"In fact, I never care whether you are loyal to Sikong...Does General Guan think that Sikong is really short of one or two generals?"
Guan and Zhang Qiang were strong, but they were not as strong as Bai Qi and Han Xin, who could dominate the world militarily.
Even if Cao Cao licks Guan Yu, it is not because of Guan Yu's military ability, but his personality charm.
Cao Cao didn't even lick it, and He Yan naturally didn't need to lick it, so he could tell this fact very calmly.
Guan Yu lowered his head, acquiescing to He Yan's words.
"Then what does Lord Shen care about?"
He Yan looked back at Guan Yu's eyes: "General Guan needs to find the answer for this himself."
"If you are interested, General Guan can go to Hewu... By the way, Hewu was actually built by Zilong. You can go with him after he recovers."
After leaving a specious answer, He Yan suddenly stopped, turned around and walked towards the house.
"General Guan, one never lives for others. Sometimes, you have to see the truth for yourself and see what path you want to take forward."
"I believe that even if everyone has ambiguities when looking at the problem, in the end we will reach the same goal by different paths."
"Sikong, Mr. Xuande, you and I have always pursued the same thing. Only by understanding this, General Guan will probably be willing to pick up the sword and continue to fight for it... and not just because of Zi
It’s because of the dragon that you come to me.”
Yes, He Yan could tell that Guan Yu still had a problem with him.
He Yan couldn't untie this knot in his heart, and he didn't want to untie it.
When Guan Yu really understands this, it won't be too late for He Yan to have a serious conversation with Guan Yu.

————————
Hua Tuo's judgment on Zhao Yun was extremely accurate, and he woke up on the fourth day after the operation.
For a time, Hua Tuo's fans near Xuchang rushed to Xinglin Courtyard with their medicine boxes to try to spy on Hua Tuo's method of "reviving the dead" again.
There is no airtight wall in the world, and a certain Prince Sikong, who did not want to be named, has been bragging about the credit for this rescue. All the doctors knew that the method Hua Tuo used this time was actually a blood transfusion!
This shocking practice soon swept through the entire Xuchang City like a storm, and continued to spread to the surrounding areas.
Blood can actually be exchanged?
Doesn't that mean... the "bloodline" that forms the basis of the "clan system" has been impacted?
For a time, countless aristocratic families who were either frightened, angry, or frightened gathered together and fired at Hua Tuo.
The originally beautiful Xinglin Courtyard was ruined by these people. Even the house where Hua Tuo lived would catch fire inexplicably at night, which made Hua Tuo unbearable.
When He Yan saw this, he directly transferred county soldiers from Xuchang to protect Xinglin Courtyard.
The leader of the county soldiers is Wei Yan, the big-headed soldier who was captured by He Yan earlier.
Wei Yan was not as stubborn as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others. Instead, they quickly accepted the fact that they were "prisoners of war" and decisively joined He Yan to become a little centurion.
But no matter how brave Wei Yan was, he did not dare to be cruel to those who made trouble every day. He could only take the trouble to catch them and drive them away, and then catch them and drive them away again.
In this regard, He Yan, who was in Xinglin Courtyard, was not surprised at all.
"If you want to break something, you have to be prepared to be counterattacked by others... I have known this since the beginning of Xinxue."
However, because Hua Xin, Chen Qun, and Yang Xiu were watching, the fire did not burn He Yan.
Later, Cao Pi publicly declared his support for the new learning, and He Yan actually felt more relaxed.
It was not until this time that the opponent's counterattack was directed at Hua Tuo, a weak doctor, that He Yan felt the heat of war for the first time.
Zhao Yun, who woke up, naturally understood the cause and effect, and apologized to He Yan with some self-blame: "It was me who caused trouble for Marquis Shen this time."
"Not counting the trouble you caused."
He Yan rejected Zhao Yun's statement.
"As long as new learning and other things that break the rules appear, it will always lead to "war". Even if it is not because of this blood transfusion, sooner or later they will be targeted for other reasons."
There will definitely be more "unbelievable" things appearing in the future. Compared with those, blood transfusions are just trivial!
"Xiao Zhao, don't worry too much and take good care of your injuries. After all, if you don't get well, the guy outside the door probably won't give up!"
Um?
Zhao Yun looked outside the door and found Cao Pi jumping up and down anxiously.
"Marquis Shen, why don't you let Mr. Pi in?"
Zhao Yun cast a gentle look at Cao Pi with a grateful heart.
"I heard what Hua Shanggong said. If Mr. Pi hadn't been willing to give me a blood transfusion, I definitely wouldn't have survived. Please let Mr. Pi in so that I can thank him!"
He Yan looked strange: "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
After letting out a long sigh, He Yan went over and opened the closed door. Cao Pi's figure turned into a black wind and came to Zhao Yun's bed.
"General Zhao, are you feeling better? Come here and let me take a look!"
Cao Pi was so enthusiastic that he held Zhao Yun's head tossing and stroking it for a long time, then pressed Zhao Yun on the bed and told him: "Don't catch a cold, you have to take good care of yourself, do you understand?"
"
Zhao Yun was a little ashamed to be taken care of by a grown man like this, but he still thanked Cao Pi: "If Master Pi hadn't risked his life to save me, I would have been a corpse now! Zhao Yun will never forget this kind of life-saving grace!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Pi immediately cautiously asked, "General Zhao is really willing to do anything?"
"Of course! A man's words are hard to follow!"
When He Yan heard Zhao Yun's firm answer, he turned his head and couldn't bear to watch what happened next.
I saw Cao Pi asking with five points of expectation, three points of excitement, and two points of shyness: "Then can you call me father?"
Zhao Yun:????
"What's wrong!"
Cao Pi straightened his back confidently: "Now that my blood is flowing in your body, what's wrong with calling me father?"
Zhao Yun was so embarrassed and angry at this time that he wished he could go back ten breaths ago and strangle himself to death for having promised Cao Pi!
"Okay! Cao Pi, don't go too far!"
It was better for He Yan to come to Zhao Yun's rescue, lest Xiao Zhao's heroic and fearless image be lost in Cao Pi's hands.
"cut!"
When Cao Pi saw that Zhao Yun had not promised him, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom.
"It's a shame that I kept you company for several nights! You heartless person!"
Faced with Cao Pi's irritation, Zhao Yun directly pulled up the quilt and completely covered his face, indicating that he had not heard anything.
He Yan rolled his eyes after pushing Cao Pi out: "What are you thinking about every day? Will Zhao Yun call you dad? Even that boy Deng Ai hasn't officially called me dad yet!"
Cao Pi showed contempt: "That's because you can't do it!"
"Get out!"
He Yan kicked Cao Pi and asked after he was far away from Zhao Yun's resting place: "You have to help Hua Tuo solve the turmoil caused by the blood transfusion outside! Otherwise, Xinglin Academy will not be able to live in peace in the future, and Cao Jie will not be able to live in peace.
Let’s continue studying medicine here!”
Cao Pi immediately applauded when he heard this: "It's a deal! Double happiness is coming!"
He Yan:???
"Don't make trouble! This time is not just about Xinglin Academy, it also has a lot to do with Xinxue!"
"If you do it well, you will be the one in the court from now on!"
Cao Pi rubbed his eyes and made sure He Yan didn't stretch wrongly before asking in confusion: "Why are you holding up your little finger?"
"It's not the little finger, it's the fifth one!"
The top three leaders in the court must be Liu Xie, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and then there is Yang Biao, who has served as the three princes several times. Isn't Cao Pi satisfied with being ranked fifth?
After hearing He Yan's explanation, Cao Pi nodded with satisfaction: "Tell me! What do you want me to do!"
"Can you...can you help me get some of Liu Xie's blood?"
