Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 705 Deliberate Procrastination (4000)

"Headache?"

Wu Liang thought to himself.

As far as he knew, Boss Cao in history did suffer from head wind disease. This incident was not only recorded in the official history, but also deduced in novels like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Moreover, his head wind disease existed for a long time, basically it began to appear after he welcomed Emperor Xian, and then accompanied him all his life until his death more than 20 years later.

Therefore, Wu Liang has reason to judge that although Boss Cao’s wind disease made Boss Cao very painful, it was not a fatal disease. In the end, Boss Cao died at the age of 66, and it was not because it tortured him all his life. It can be seen from the "Last Order" written before his death that Boss Cao did not die of illness, but died of illness, and 66 years old can be called a long-lived person in this era.

"You are talented, just sit down, I suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if a knife was stirring in my head, and I couldn't hold it, so I couldn't get up to meet you."

Seeing Cao Ang and Youcai, Boss Cao naturally wouldn't be polite to his own son, but just waved to Wu Liang, with a weak smile on his pale face.

"Why is Duke Ming like this?"

Wu Liang showed concern, and asked a little closer.

"I don't know. Although similar situations have happened before, the pain is not as intense as this time, and the duration is not long. It usually stops after half an hour's rest. Only this time the pain made me feel sick. It's been unbearable, and it's been going on all day, and it's only now showing signs of abating."

While Boss Cao was talking, he seemed a little mad and annoyed by the pain. He clenched his hands into fists and slammed twice on the head.

Seeing this, Cao Ang hurried forward and said, "Father, teach me to rub it for you."

"Um……"

Boss Cao nodded slightly.

Cao Ang then stretched out his hand and pressed two fingers of Boss Cao's temples, and then spun clockwise and gently rubbed it, so that Boss Cao's headache symptoms seemed to be improved, and he closed his eyes a little easier.

Wu Liang didn't bother, but he was still secretly thinking about the history related to Boss Cao's "head wind disease".

He immediately thought it was Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo was a famous medical scientist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was as famous as Zhang Zhongjing, the "Medical Sage" who had a great influence on the medical field of later generations, and was honored as the "Originator of Surgery" by later generations.

Just because he invented the earliest anesthetic in the history of the world - Mabosan, and used the effect of "Mabosan" to perform abdominal surgery on patients, creating a precedent for general anesthesia surgery. It is unprecedented in history, and it is also a rare pioneering work in the history of world medicine.

He is also one of the founders of ancient Chinese medical sports. The "Five Animals" he created is still talked about by people in later generations. It is said that it has great benefits for strengthening the body and prolonging life.

There is also the legendary medical work "Qing Nang Shu", which is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" as "can live".

It is regrettable that, whether it is "Mafeisan", "Wu Qin Xi", or "Qing Nang Shu", all have been lost. This is not only a loss for the archaeological community, but also a huge loss for the people of the Celestial Dynasty.

The final fate of the genius doctor Hua Tuo is also extremely regrettable.

Unlike what was written in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Boss Cao taught Hua Tuo to treat him because of a headache, and Hua Tuo told Boss Cao that he needed to use an ax to split the head to heal him, so that Boss Cao suspected that Hua Tuo was not He wanted to heal him, but wanted to kill him, so he killed him.

The records in the official history are:
Boss Cao asked Hua Tuo to come to be his personal doctor because of a headache, but Hua Tuo made an excuse that he had been away from home for too long and wanted to go home for a visit, but he never returned.

Boss Cao sent someone to invite him again, and Hua Tuo used his wife's illness as an excuse to ask for an extension of the vacation many times.

Afterwards, Boss Cao wrote several times to ask Hua Tuo to come back, and even issued an edict to the counties and counties to collect and deport him, but Hua Tuo always just found various reasons to delay and refused to go on the road.

In the end, Boss Cao finally lost his patience and sent troops to check: if Hua Tuo's wife was really ill, he would give [-] liters of small beans and relax the holiday period; if Hua Tuo was deliberately delaying, he would be arrested and escorted.

As a result, Hua Tuo really lied and delayed.

So boss Cao was completely angry, and immediately ordered someone to escort him back to Xuchang. Are you an incompetent rat?" From then on, he never asked Hua Tuo to heal him, and killed him in prison.

Before he died, Hua Tuo wanted to give the "Book of the Green Bag" to the jailer who took good care of him, but the jailer was too timid to accept it. In the end, Hua Tuo had no choice but to burn the "Book of the Green Bag", and it was completely lost since then. ...

Now Boss Cao's "head wind disease" has begun to affect his normal life.

Then he should start thinking about medical treatment soon, right?
So, maybe Hua Tuo is about to be recruited too?
Compared with the official history, this should be ahead of schedule, but I wonder if Hua Tuo's fate will change because of this?
Wu Liang naturally didn't want Hua Tuo to be killed by Boss Cao so easily as recorded in the history books, it was really not worth it.

But everyone's position and personality are different.

Hua Tuo may not be able to agree with Wu Liang's unworthy things. In addition, Wu Liang has experienced too many things that conform to "historical inevitability". If there is no external force to intervene, Hua Tuo may still use various excuses to refuse to treat Boss Cao in the end, and Boss Cao will eventually throw Hua Tuo into prison and die...

The only thing to be thankful for is.

Wu Liang had been guarding against this matter before, and never revealed his "medical skills" that were not considered medical skills in front of Boss Cao, so now that Boss Cao's "head wind disease" was revealed, he would never think of asking him to help heal.

Otherwise, Wu Liang was sincerely unable to help, but Boss Cao might misunderstand and think he would die, then it would be really fun...

Just as Wu Liang was thinking about this.

Boss Cao's pain was finally relieved by Cao Ang's massage, but he still closed his eyes and asked Wu Liang: "Youcai, you should have lost the envoy who came to have an audience with that country, and now you come here non-stop. If you see me, you should report something you can’t make up your mind about, right?”

"You can't hide anything from Duke Ming."

Cao Ang was also there at the time, and he was able to speak clearly when Boss Cao asked him later, so Wu Liang didn't need to go into too much detail, but just made a long story short, "The envoy from the Yamatai Kingdom is here to find Xu Fu's whereabouts. The first emperor Yingzheng was looking for the elixir of life Xu Fu. It turns out that Xu Fu arrived in the country of Wa after going to sea and lived in the country. Later, when he learned that the Qin Dynasty was replaced by a big Han, he had the idea of ​​returning to his roots again, so he sailed to the sea and returned. my country."

"Isn't it?"

Boss Cao finally opened his eyes and raised the doubts that have been raised before, "Xu Fu went to sea for hundreds of years, even if he returned to our country later, he would definitely not be able to live until now, unless he really After getting the elixir of life, he is already immortal...he found it?!"

"Hard to say."

Wu Liang shook his head slightly, and said solemnly, "The envoy from the Yamatai Kingdom didn't know about the elixir of life, but he said that after arriving in the Wa Kingdom, Xu Fu was assassinated and was fatally wounded, but he didn't die in the end, so he guessed that Xu Fu You may already be immortal before you reach Wa Kingdom."

"Um……"

Boss Cao pondered for a moment, then looked up at Wu Liangdao, "You are talented, according to what you have seen, is what the envoy of this country or country trustworthy?"

"To be honest, I don't believe in immortality. If there is a way to live forever, then there are countless sages and wise men since ancient times. Why hasn't one of them survived to this day? Besides, those who pursue immortality have all failed to die well. , This is the case with Shihuang Yingzheng."

Wu Liang spoke out what was in his heart.

In fact, this is intentionally or unintentionally lowering Boss Cao's expectations. If Boss Cao starts to pursue the elixir of life, Wu Liang himself will be the one to suffer.

What's more, he really doesn't believe this kind of thing. Even if he may go to the place where Xu Fu may live in seclusion after returning to the Celestial Dynasty with Qi Litong, he doesn't expect to find Xu Fu alive, but to find Xu Fu's tomb ... People who lived more than 400 years ago can only lie in the mausoleum now?
Boss Cao asked noncommittally: "Then what is Liu Xie's attitude towards this matter?"

"Liu Xie didn't express his opinion on the spot, but the eldest son has a tacit understanding with me, and he has already entrusted this matter to me."

Wu Liang replied, "Whether this is true or not, it is something that has not been recorded in the "Tai Shi Gong Shu" and "Han Shu". If I can go to verify this in person, I can compile what I have seen and heard Into my history books, so that future generations can have an accurate understanding of this matter."

"Since this is the case, you will be responsible for this matter to the end. If you find out anything, just report it to me in time."

Boss Cao nodded slightly.

"promise."

Wu Liang saluted.

"If Xu Fu is found, and he is still alive, no matter what means you use, you must bring him back to me. I want to live."

Boss Cao continued.

Sure enough, even Boss Cao had some ideas about immortality, and Wu Liang's few words alone could not completely dispel his inner expectations.

"If this is the case, this is definitely a major event that shocked the past and the present. I will definitely handle it properly and never disappoint Duke Ming."

Wu Liang clapped his hands in cooperation.

……

After leaving Cao's mansion, Wu Liang did not go to find Qi Litong immediately, but returned to his own mansion.

Then it was as if he had completely forgotten about it, he should eat and drink, and he felt uncomfortable all day long.

Finally arrived after four days.

"My lord, a dwarf who claimed to be the envoy of the Yamatai Kingdom brought a woman to ask for an audience, and he is now waiting outside the mansion."

Dian Wei quickly came in from the outside, and reported to Wu Liang.

"I finally lost my temper."

Wu Liang seemed to have expected it, and said to Dian Wei with a smile, "Please come in, I will meet them in the living room."

"promise."

Dian Wei responded and went out to invite someone.

On the other hand, Wu Liang unhurriedly called Bao Rou in to help him change into more formal clothes, and then unhurriedly went to the living room.

When he arrives.

The tea on the table in front of Qi Litong and Hu was no longer steaming.

However, there was no trace of impatience on their faces, and when they saw Wu Liang, they quickly stood up and bowed to salute.

"Sit down, don't be nervous."

Wu Liang waved his hand and went straight to the main seat.

"Thank you Taishi Wu."

But Qi Litong and Hu finally straightened up after Wu Liang sat down, and carefully sat back on their seats...

It has to be said that the Japanese people still do a good job in these etiquettes.

However, Wu Liang would not have too much affection for them because of this. As a traveler from later generations, he had long been aware of the Wa people's behavior of "knowing small rituals but not great righteousness, fearing power but not being virtuous" As far as I know, this kind of behavior was not only in World War I and World War II, it has appeared in the history books of the Celestial Dynasty since ancient times.

"Why do you come to the mansion to ask to see me?"

Wu Liang smiled and asked nonchalantly.

"?"

As soon as these words came out, Qi Litong felt like a stick in his throat.

What is this asking?

A few days ago in the court, didn't His Majesty the Son of Heaven order you to help me find the whereabouts of Qin Zhixu Jun?
I've been waiting for several days, and I couldn't wait for you, so I had to take the initiative to pay a visit. In the end, you looked like you had completely forgotten...

However, Qi Litong's reaction was not slow, and he quickly adjusted his mood, then Shi Li smiled at Wu Liang: "It's a bit rude to come to the house rashly to disturb, please forgive me, Wu Taishi, in fact, I just want to ask Ask Wu Taishi, what is Wu Taishi's plan for what His Majesty the Son of Heaven has decided a few days ago?"

"What is His Majesty's order...?"

Wu Liang showed suspicion.

"..."

Qi Litong was in a bad mood, he had never seen such a ruthless courtier, he could even forget everything the emperor had told him, wouldn't he keep it for the New Year if he didn't pull him out and behead his head?

"Oh--"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Liang finally showed an expression of enlightenment, patted his thigh and said, "You mean to find out about Xu Fu's whereabouts? Therefore, I think we should take a long-term plan, as the saying goes, sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters, so you don’t have to be too impatient, stay here first, and leave soon after I find the exact clues, so as not to travel a lot of wrong roads in vain.”

Seeing Wu Liang's attitude of prevarication and procrastination, Qi Litong became a little anxious immediately, and couldn't help but said, "How could there be no clues? Some of the existing history books of the Great Han clearly recorded many things related to Xu Jun of Qin. information?"

"Is there?"

Wu Liang said calmly, "I don't read much, why don't you tell me?"
