Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 194 Jin creates the disaster

The news from Zhang Yan and Xi Zhicai only surprised Zhongping, but that was not what worried him the most.

Before he left Xudu, he diligently told Wu Zhi that if there was any unusual movement in Zhongji, he must send him the news immediately.

After all, others don’t understand Zhongji. As a son, don’t I understand it too?

Dad is quiet and must be holding back his ultimate move.

To this day, there is no news from Wu Zhi, which cannot help but make Zhong Ping deeply worried.

He was really worried that his father would cause trouble while he was away, and he would not even have time to save him.

With such deep worries, Zhongping took the initiative to bid farewell to Liu Biao almost the day after he found the looted grain and grass. As a courtesy and to thank Liu Biao for his hard work, he handed over most of the property he gained during the trip to Liu Biao.

Both he and Liu Biao knew that Cai Mao, who led the search for this batch of dirt, had secretly spent a lot of money, but they both chose to turn a blind eye. After all, it was good to be aware of this kind of thing, so why make it ugly? ?

Zhong Ping came to say goodbye three times, and Liu Biao also repeatedly asked him to stay with great affection. Both of them made a good show, and Liu Biao reluctantly agreed to Zhong Ping's farewell invitation.

Of course, it was the younger sons Liu Cong and Pang Ji who were sent to see him off.

As for the eldest son Liu Qi, Zhong Ping stayed in Jingzhou for five or six days and only met him once on the first day of his arrival in Jingzhou.

Zhongping suddenly thought of Xiahou Dun, who was said to be still cultivating.

Zhong Ping felt sad. He had not been able to spend a year with Zhong Ji in peace for a long time. At this time of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, he should have to spend time on this boat with Guoyuan and others, right?

Then he saw Hu Zi beside him.

Tanehira fell into silence.

"Mr. Yuanhua seems to be good at surgery. This...isn't a good comparison?"

Sitting idle on the boat, Guoyuan joined the discussion with great interest.

He had just finished the long farewell ceremony and racked his brains to find a four-character farewell poem to give to her. At this moment, he just wanted to find a place to lie down and have a good rest.

Zhong Ping saw the two people talking enthusiastically about how to cure Jin Chuang's disease, and he seemed to be a little redundant, so when the two people's attention was not on him, he turned around and hid with Hu Zi.

Their choice to return to Yanzhou this time was to enter Danyang from Jiangxia and then return to Xudu by water. This road is much farther than going directly from Nanyang to Yingchuan, and then from Yingchuan to Xuzhou, and it also passes through Xuzhou on the way. If it weren't for the appointment with Zheng Xuan, Zhongping would actually prefer the second choice in his heart. road.

"I remember you are under General Lee now?"

"Abandoning the elders and establishing young ones is the way to cause chaos. Liu Jingsheng favors the younger sons so much that Jingzhou will be in trouble in the future."

"Then gold scarring should be classified as surgery, right?"

It was rare for Tanahira to be at a loss. With his meager knowledge, he only knew how to get a tetanus shot...

The internal affairs of Jingzhou have nothing to do with the peace of the species.

It can be seen from this that Liu Biao ignored and ignored his eldest son. He almost made it obvious that he preferred his younger son Liu Cong as his heir. As a result, the power of the Cai family increased in Jingzhou.

It is no wonder that Guoyuan believed that Liu Biao was not the master of the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Zhong shook his head: "Miscellaneous prescriptions from the countryside cannot be trusted."

Wei Zhong had heard in Xiangyang that raw fish was delicious. He tried it once and was amazed. He ate raw fish for several days and ended up suffering from diarrhea. If it weren't for the superb medical skills of the doctors at Liu Biao's house, he would probably be dead now. He was forced to stay in Jingzhou.

Huzi talked about the pieces of new cloth that he had asked Zhongping to hand over to his adoptive mother.

Guoyuan thought for a while and added: "I also heard that there is a decoction to treat this disease. It seems to be boiling cicada slough in water and taking it with rice wine, but I don't know if it is effective."

"When I get back to Xudu, I will cut some new clothes for my mother."

Zhongping felt that his words were a bit abrupt, and the courage and drafts he had just summoned dissipated with the hesitation in his tone.

Because of Cai Mao, Wei Zhong had a very bad impression of Liu Biao, and his words were inevitably derogatory.

Guo Yuan watched Liu Cong and Liu Cong leave, and remembered the worry in Pang Ji's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems impossible to rush back to Xudu in two or three days.

"A stepmother is like a mother. Being a mother and not being able to love her own son is very kind. It is very righteous to love her own child but not love her own child!"

He lowered his head to look at the rushing river.

Zhong Ping actually didn't know what Liu Biao was thinking.

"This disease is caused by the poison of wind evil. When the wind prevails, it moves and triggers internal wind. It should dispel wind and resolve phlegm, relieve spasm and stabilize convulsions. What is the use of rice wine?"

"I heard that Captain Zhang, the governor of Changsha, suffered from typhoid fever. How does he compare with Mr. Hua Yuanrang?"

"...There is no need to bother sir to hand it over to me anymore."

"Of course it belongs to the Department of Surgery."

Although it was a severe winter, there were still a lot of reeds visible on both sides of the river. At this time, the river was calm and the waves were calm. Standing on the bow of the boat, Tanehira could vaguely see the smoke from the cottages not far away.

He knew that Mrs. Cai's pillow style was indispensable behind Liu Biao's doting on Liu Cong, but just because he doted on the younger son, he abandoned the eldest son like a worn out shoe. This operation was really confusing.

Zhong Ping half-listened to these words, and silently crossed out Jingzhou in his mind, secretly thinking about whether there was any other place that could be used as Liu Bei's basic development base.

Although his appearance gave people a very honest impression, his actual thinking was extremely flexible, and subtle emotional changes on the plane did not escape his perception. At this time, he probably already knew what Zhongping wanted to say to him.

After all, there was a red rabbit horse between him and Lu Bu. Zhongping really didn't want to meet Lu Bu.

The scene was so tragic that even using words to describe it was cruel.

He was actually very hesitant, not sure whether he should tell the truth about what he saw in Shicun.

Tetanus should be considered a traumatic injury, so I must have found the right person when I went to Fan A.

"Liu Biao is a man with no real reputation and only the ability to sit and talk. I'm afraid that his foundation in Jingzhou will be destroyed at the hands of a woman."

Huzi nodded.

The two of them already had a tacit understanding.

"My surname is Huo."

Huzi's voice was very low.

"My mother told me that when she found me, she saw the word "Qiu" on the cloth I was wrapped in... This may be my name."

"Qiu, the height of the soil, the gentleman's mountain is determined."

Zhong Ping pulled Huo Qiu and sat down cross-legged. He took out a bottle of wine from Liu Biao's sleeve and handed it over: "This is a very good name... Would you like some wine?"

Huo Qiu took the wine bottle, but just put it aside: "I am your guard, please don't let me get drunk." "Then I'll drink it when I get back to Xudu."

Zhong Ping patted him on the shoulder: "I will drink with you then, and we must drink until we are very drunk."

Huo Qiu tightened his grip on the wine bottle that Zhongping put into his hand. He knew that Zhongping had never been fond of drinking and his drinking capacity was very light.

At this moment, he only felt sour and grateful in his heart. When Zhongping saved Xiaodouzi, he had vowed in his heart to repay Zhongping's kindness, but today this idea changed.

He stared at the reflection of the two people in the river, and his eyes gradually became firm.

A good meal will pay for itself, let alone sir treating me like this?

Yaizhen's grudge must be avenged, not to mention a blood feud.

In front of you is the Lujiang River.

Huo Qiu looked in the direction of Yanzhou with a heavy gaze.

"Cicada sloughs return to the lung meridian, sore throat, open up sounds, calm wind and relieve spasms. It is indeed feasible to use cicada slough as medicine, but rice wine returns to the spleen and stomach. Drinking alcohol is mostly used to warm the meridian and dispel cold. What does it have to do with this metal-induced psoriasis?"

Until the group of people entered Lujiang, Wei Zhong was still arguing with Guoyuan about the use of rice wine as a medicine to treat Jinchuang and scabies.

"But rice wine also has the effect of unblocking meridians and relieving pain. People with numb hands and feet often use rice wine as medicine."

Guoyuan felt that Wei Zhong was too arbitrary.

Zhongping listened to the two people arguing all the way, feeling funny and helpless at the same time. He thought that if he didn't interrupt, the two people might be arguing until dark, so he suggested:

"I heard that Mr. Yuanhua was having a consultation in Lujiang recently. I was about to visit Mr. Kangcheng first. Why not ask some questions on the way?"

"The teacher has lived in seclusion at the foot of Sangong Mountain since he entered Lujiang. There are no villages and few pedestrians around, so it may be difficult to find out about Mr. Yuanhua."

Guoyuan muttered in a low voice: "It's better to ask Xi Hongyu. He has a few ancient medical books in his hand. I learned the prescription for treating paralysis of the hands and feet with rice wine from him."

Zhong Ping had no impression of Xi Liu. He only remembered that this person seemed to be one of Zheng Xuan's students. He completely forgot that he had ever met this person and was regarded as an imaginary enemy by him without his knowledge. .

"There are many fallacies in ancient books, and they may not be true."

Wei Zhong shook his head. He was convinced that he was right and wanted to argue with Guoyuan again, but he thought about the friendship between Zhong Ping and Zheng Xuan...

In fact, he himself admired Zheng Xuan's talents. Seeing that he was not far from Sangong Mountain, Wei Zhong couldn't restrain his inner desire to pay homage to Zheng Xuan. Just as Zhong Ping and Guoyuan had given him steps, he took advantage of Po Po. I got off the donkey and stopped this topic for the time being.

When Zheng Xuan first arrived in Lujiang, he originally planned to lead a group of students to settle in the countryside on the outskirts of the city.

However, the news that he was coming to Yangzhou spread among the gentry, and his servants received countless greetings every day. From time to time, local celebrities invited him to give lectures.

Because these people were polite and sincere in their academic attitude, he accepted the invitations one by one and gave several large-scale lectures. However, later on, he was really unable to do it. He occasionally declined due to illness, but only a few people came to visit him. It has never diminished.

During this period, many of his disciples left after completing their studies, and there were only about twenty or thirty disciples who were still studying with him. These students were always at his side, working hard and studying every day, and most of them could Can endure loneliness.

Zheng Xuan then re-selected his seclusion in a sparsely populated place like Sangong Mountain. However, even though he had closed his doors to thank guests and only wanted to concentrate on teaching his disciples to compile books, there were still invitations from some people that he could not refuse.

For example, Yuan Shu, who called himself Yangzhou Mu at this time.

Unfortunately, when Zhongping and his party arrived at Sangong Mountain, Zheng Xuan was still at Yuan Shu's banquet and had not returned yet.

Wei Zhong was greatly disappointed. Although he didn't show it on his face, when he continued to discuss with Guoyuan whether rice wine should be used as a medicine, his attitude became obviously more accommodating.

When Guoyuan went out to Yangzhou to deliver a message to Zhongping for Zheng Xuan, he was also looking for a Ming master who was worthy of his assistance. His fellow apprentices all knew this.

After all, among the twenty or thirty people who chose to stay with Zheng Xuan, only a few felt that the classics were exquisite and wanted to spend their lives exploring them. Most of the rest were more watching the heroes in the world, waiting for them. The time is right, waiting for the Lord.

The expression on Guoyuan's face when he returned this time clearly showed that he was not interested in serving Liu Biao as his master. Cui Yan, who was close to him, couldn't help but feel curious.

"Zini, don't you always say, 'A man should carry a three-foot sword to achieve unparalleled achievements'? Then Liu Jingsheng rode into Jingzhou alone, isn't he the hero you admire?"

Guoyuan looked calm: "If I had been born twenty years earlier, Liu Jingsheng might have been the master of the Ming Dynasty, but now... it can only be said that his name is exaggerated."

"Then you are going to continue to serve the teacher when you come back this time?"

Cui Yan unexpectedly heard such comments about Liu Biao from his friends, and there was some emotion in his tone.

Different from the achievements that Guoyuan longed for, he also liked martial arts in the past, but now he prefers to study literature and internal affairs.

He already roughly knew what was happening to Liu Biao.

He also knew a thing or two about the character of Yuan Shu from Yangzhou.

For him, he hopes to go to Yuzhou or Yanzhou after completing his studies. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are both worthy of assistance in his eyes.

"No, I plan to go back to Xudu with Bo Heng."

Guoyuan looked serious. He had always made a decision and would not change it easily.

Cui Yan was really surprised now. When he mentioned Liu Biao, he was still teasing Guoyuan, but now he was filled with doubts from the bottom of his heart. Based on his understanding of his good friend, Cao Cao was not the one he knew. Someone who is willing to help.

Could it be that a friend suddenly wanted to become a guest in a certain minister's house? This couldn't be what he would do.

Cui Yan even wanted to ask Zhong Ping, but then he thought, if his friend didn't tell him, the person he wanted to help must have a sensitive identity, and he had to ask questions when he was doing things, otherwise he might cause trouble.

Besides, there was Zhongping to take care of him after all, and Guoyuan always had an idea. Why should he worry too much and get to the bottom of it?

While he had successfully solved the problem himself, Wei Zhong studied Xi Liu's medical book for a long time, and already knew in his heart that Guoyuan's prescription was indeed feasible, but he still felt a little embarrassed, so he closed the book and forcibly defended himself.

"Although rice wine can be used, the brewing methods of rice wine are different and the effects are also different. It is still easy to cause accidents. This method is not recommended."

Xi Liu's attention was not at all on Mr. Wei's words. He was thinking quickly and secretly thinking: "Liu Biao is now settled in Jingzhou and seems to have no ambition to make progress. Although the Yuan family is known as the fourth generation and the third Duke, the brothers are hostile to each other, and Yuan Shu has advisers under his account." There are so many of them, how about Yuan Shao? If I go there, I won't be able to get ahead."

"Cao Cao of Yanzhou welcomes the emperor. He has many soldiers and generals. Zhang Miao rebelled just after passing through Chen Palace. Now we are short of capable ministers and counselors. Why don't I go and join Cao Cao?"

He made up his mind, and the look in Zhongping's eyes changed from vague hostility to kindness.

It is almost impossible to get a good job with Cao Cao with his current meager reputation, but if there is someone who can recommend him, the treatment will be completely different...

"Ah!"

Zhongpei touched the tip of his nose, his eyes blank.

Who is plotting against me again?

When he raised his head, his eyes met with Xi Liu's. Xi Liu's expression was a little stiff for a moment. He still remembered that he had ridiculed Zhong Ping before.

However, Zhongpei didn't remember who he was at all. He just smiled politely and turned around to chat with Xiao Kongming who was holding a book.

Xi Lu vaguely felt that he was being looked down upon by Zhong Ping, and he felt resentful in his heart: This kind of Bo Heng is really hypocritical. If I gain power, I will repay you twice as much for today's humiliation!
