Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 360: Instructing Liu Biao and making Liu Qi the Crown Prince

Just when Liu Biao was about to continue speaking, he suddenly felt a stinging pain on his back. Then Liu Biao felt that the red and swollen abscess on his back had burst open, and the smelly and hot pus gushed out of the abscess, instantly soaking his gorgeous clothes.

The fishy smell instantly filled the entire room. Gu Rubing and Cai Mao, who were closest to Liu Biao, smelled the odor first. Cai Mao covered his mouth and nose impatiently, frowned and looked around at everyone, as if looking for the source of the smell. When his eyes swept over Liu Biao, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something.

Among all the people present, only Liu Qi became nervous after seeing Liu Biao suddenly feel unwell. In contrast, Liu Cong did not react at all.

Gu Rubing immediately thought of the reason, stood up immediately and stood in front of everyone and Liu Biao.

"Brother Jingsheng, remember you have something to say to me?"

At this moment, Liu Biao only felt a piercing pain coming from his back, which instantly made a layer of dense cold sweat seep out of his forehead. In addition to the pain, there was also a strong burning sensation. This burning sensation actually made Liu Biao want to take off his gorgeous clothes in this cold weather.

Liu Biao was in a daze due to the pain, but he heard Gu Rubing's words and slowly raised his head.

"Yes, there are some things to say. You all should leave now."

Liu Biao endured the pain and sent everyone away. Then he could no longer hold on and fell on the desk. The clothes on his back were completely soaked with pus and turned from the original luxurious red to dark red.

"Ziyi, guard the meeting room. No one is allowed to come in without my order!"

Taishi Ci was waiting outside the house. After hearing Gu Rubing's voice coming from inside the house, he bowed and said to the inside.

"Don't worry, lord. With me here, not even a fly can fly in!"

Cai Mao and Liu Cong and others stood in front of Taishi Ci, and Cai Mao's face was livid.

"May I ask what Liu Bei meant? My master is clearly unwell, but he is still staying with him and kicking us out. What is his intention?!"

Cai Mao was extremely dissatisfied with what Gu Rubing said. After all, for him, only if Liu Cong succeeded as the governor of Jingzhou could he continue to abuse his power in this position.

"Liu Bei first interfered in the affairs of Jingzhou, and now he has separated us from my uncle. Is he planning to do something bad to my uncle? He interfered in the affairs of Jingzhou like this! Does he want to take over Jingzhou?"

The young man who was speaking was called Zhang Yun, the nephew of Liu Biao, and the cousin of Liu Qi and Liu Cong. However, he was more inclined towards Liu Cong and had never had any interaction with Liu Qi.

They obviously all knew the real reason why Liu Biao fell ill. At this moment, they were not only accusing Gu Rubing of interfering in the succession of Jingzhou, but also wanted to put the blame for Liu Biao's illness on Gu Rubing, so that he would definitely not be able to influence the affairs of Jingzhou anymore.

Taishi Ci turned a deaf ear to their shouting until one of the generals under Liu Du, the governor of Lingling, drew his sword and tried to force his way in. Only then did Taishi Ci take action, taking out his longbow and putting three arrows on the string.

"Whoever takes another step forward will be killed without mercy!"

The general who drew his sword and wanted to charge into the battle felt as if he was being stared at by a prehistoric beast the moment Taishi Ci raised his bow and arrow, as if that man would really kill him on the spot if he dared to take another step forward.

Taishi Ci stood alone at the pass, with an imposing manner that no one could stop ten thousand men. Everyone present was shocked by Taishi Ci's action and dared not say a word for a while.

"Do you think this is your Qingzhou? In our Jingzhou, Liu Bei's words don't count!"

Cai Mao said viciously that now that things had come to this and the two sides had already fallen out, there was no need to worry about face anymore. The most important thing now was to confirm Liu Biao's condition so as to plan what to do next. With a wave of Cai Mao's hand, several well-equipped teams rushed into the yard and were about to charge and enter the house. When Taishi Ci was about to start a massacre, a voice rang out from inside the house.

"What are you doing! Xuande is my good friend who I invited here. How dare you be so disrespectful! Get out of here right now!"

After hearing the voice, Cai Mao was visibly stunned. He obviously did not expect that Liu Biao would recover so quickly.

"My lord, we are really worried that something might happen to you, so we panicked and did not know what to do. Please forgive us, my lord, and please forgive us, Uncle Liu!"

After all, Cai Mao was a veteran who had been immersed in the workplace for many years, and he quickly came up with a reason.

"Worried about me getting into trouble? You should worry about yourself first!"

After hearing Liu Biao's words, Cai Mao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. You know, the carbuncle on Liu Biao's back was caused by them. Cai Mao quickly bowed and said towards the house.

"Since the lord is alright, I am relieved. I will take my leave first!"

Cai Mao's expression at this moment was as if he had eaten a few dead children. He left with gritted teeth. Zhang Yun and others followed him and did not stay any longer.

In the room, two pieces of black stuff had been pasted on Liu Biao's back to seal the two festering wounds with pus oozing out. This was what Gu Rubing had gotten from Hua Tuo before he came to Jingzhou. It could temporarily curb Liu Biao's condition, but it was only a temporary solution and could not cure the disease.

"Xuan De, is what you just said true?"

Liu Biao asked with a look of horror, and Gu Rubing nodded seriously.

A quarter of an hour ago, after the two men had just cleared out the others, Gu Rubing uncovered the gorgeous clothes on Liu Biao's back. The two largest abscesses on his back had already burst, and were still oozing yellow-brown pus. The pus gave off a fishy and pungent smell that made people feel deeply uncomfortable when they smelled it.

"Brother Jingsheng, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Rubing said in surprise, and at the same time tore off the corner of his clothes and wiped Liu Biao's body regardless of the fishy pus. Liu Biao felt Gu Rubing's actions and hurriedly stopped him.

"Xuan De, what are you doing? It's a filthy thing, just let the servants deal with it."

"No, Brother Jingsheng, you value your reputation the most in your life. If people knew you looked like this, I'm afraid..."

Gu Rubing did not say anything else. He believed that Liu Biao would not fail to understand such a simple truth. Liu Biao, who was working at his desk, sighed.

"Xuan De, you are right. My back injury relapsed just now, and only you and Qi'er looked worried. Cong'er, on the other hand, not only did he not react at all, he was still standing outside the door... Alas!"

Liu Biao was feeling extremely miserable at this moment.

After treating the pus on Liu Biao's back, Gu Rubing took out the herbal medicine he had asked Hua Tuo for before coming here and helped him stick it on his back to stop the pus from flowing out.

The moment the herbs were applied, Liu Biao felt himself refreshed. The original burning sensation and pain all disappeared, replaced by a cool feeling. This cool feeling made Liu Biao feel as if he was bathed in a spring breeze.

"Xuan De, what is this thing of yours? How can it have such a therapeutic effect?"

Liu Biao asked doubtfully, and Gu Rubing shook his head slightly.

"This was prepared for me by my military physician. It has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. If you usually eat rich and greasy food, heat will accumulate in the body, and you need to clear away heat and reduce fire in time." Listening to Gu Rubing's clear and logical explanation, Liu Biao believed it without a doubt. He usually ate a lot of meat and fish. At such an old age, he didn't eat any vegetables. Since he caught a cold with damp heat a month ago, his back started to itch.

"I have always been a big eater of meat and fish. I think it is because of this reason that I will never eat meat again!"

Liu Biao said viciously that he had been tortured by this for more than half a month and his whole mental state had become bad.

"Although eating a lot of fish and meat will accumulate heat, it is not to this extent. Brother Jingsheng, have you eaten anything tonic recently?"

Gu Rubing saw that Liu Biao obviously did not anticipate how serious his illness was. Based on the principle of "good brothers", Gu Rubing felt it necessary to remind Liu Biao not to think that it was just a minor matter when he was about to die.

"A tonic?"

Liu Biao fell into deep thought. In recent times, he has been taking supplements such as ginseng, snow frog, deer antler and bird's nest almost all the time. Some time ago, Cai Mao even sent him some tiger whip wine, which made Liu Biao very happy.

Before entering the game, he couldn't even see the tiger penis, let alone drink tiger penis wine. In addition, Liu Biao's body was not in good condition, which made him feel powerless. This also led to his body softening during intercourse even though his sperm was still highly excited.

In addition to tiger whip wine, Cai Mao also recently sent someone to deliver a hundred-year-old turtle and stewed a pot of turtle soup for Liu Biao, which made Liu Biao very hungry and he ate it all by himself. There were also other supplements, countless in number.

Thinking of this, Liu Biao was shocked. Could it be that Cai Mao did it? Was he harming him? Why? A series of questions popped up in Liu Biao's mind.

"In the past month, no, two months, I have been taking some very nutritious foods."

Looking at Liu Biao's pensive look, Gu Rubing knew that his bet was right. It turned out that Cai Mao was constantly sending supplements to Liu Biao. Gu Rubing decided to add fuel to the fire to make Liu Biao wake up completely.

"Brother Jingsheng, have you had a serious illness recently? Or have you caught a cold?"

"Yes, there was one time. About half a month ago, I went on a winter hunt. After I came back, I caught a cold and fell ill."

Liu Biao's thoughts were brought back to reality by Gu Rubing's question.

"Oh, yes. Ever since I recovered from the cold, my back has been itching terribly. A week ago, I started to have these small pustules, and they're getting bigger and bigger."

"That's right. This is back carbuncle. The cause of the disease is excessive heat in the body. If it is stimulated by external factors such as wind and cold, it will cause back carbuncle. It seems that Brother Jingsheng has entered the second stage."

"Phase Two, what does that mean?"

Liu Biao quickly sat up, held Gu Rubing's hands, his mind tense, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead.

"Alas, when it reaches the second stage, the carbuncle on the back cannot be cured."

"What! Terminal illness?!"

Liu Biao seemed to have his spine pulled out. He slumped in his seat, mumbling to himself in a voice that was difficult to hear clearly.

"Liu Bei, no, Xuande, please, save me. You must have a way, right? Where is your marching doctor? Ask him to save me! I don't want to die!"

"Brother Jingsheng, don't get excited!"

Gu Rubing exerted force with his hands and pressed Liu Biao down on his seat, unable to move.

"Just because I said it's incurable doesn't mean you'll die. Just stop eating tonic foods, eat a lighter diet, and abstain from sex! Otherwise, even gods can't save you!"

Liu Biao, who was originally crying, immediately stood up and wiped the tears and snot from his face after hearing Gu Rubing's words. Dying in the game means real death. How could Liu Biao not be afraid? He transformed himself from a working class person to the governor of a state in the game. This leap made him cherish his life even more. Therefore, he lost his composure after hearing that he had a terminal illness.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you!"

At this moment, Liu Biao had been completely led by Gu Rubing, which led to the scene where Liu Biao just ordered Cai Mao and his subordinates to leave.

After Liu Biao tidied himself and changed into new clothes, he walked out of the room. The moment he walked out of the room, several people around him hurriedly left to report the news of Liu Biao's appearance to the people behind them.

Soon, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Cong and others arrived together. Liu Cong was the first to come. He slid to his knees and threw himself in front of Liu Biao.

"Father, what happened to you just now? I was very worried about you and wanted to go in to see you, but I was blocked by this villain!"

Liu Cong pointed at Taishi Ci and said viciously, while at the same time raising his sleeves to wipe the tears that he had squeezed out with great difficulty from his face.

"Okay, shut up!"

After learning that it was the things Cai Mao sent that caused his illness, Liu Biao began to feel annoyed with Liu Cong.

Just then, Liu Qi rushed to the door. After seeing the scene in the courtyard, Liu Qi stopped at the door. He didn't know whether he should appear in front of Liu Biao, for fear that Liu Biao would be even more annoyed with him. He also couldn't bow to Liu Cong. The pride in his bones did not allow him to do so.

Liu Biao also saw Liu Qi hesitating at the door. In comparison, he was much more stable than his second son who was hugging his thigh and howling like a ghost.

"Qier, come here."

Hearing his father calling him, Liu Qi looked at Liu Biao in disbelief. Just when he thought it was an illusion, Liu Biao waved at him again. Then he quickly walked up to Liu Biao.

Liu Cong looked at his father and saw that his father ignored him and instead called that annoying brother. He became furious and his eyes became vicious.

"You stand up too."

Liu Biao glanced at Liu Cong on the ground and said impatiently. After the two of them stood up, Liu Biao announced in front of everyone.

"According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, from today on, Liu Qi will be the crown prince."

After saying this, Liu Biao turned around and left without paying any attention to the chaotic crowd below. Cai Mao stared at the departing Liu Biao and Gu Rubing with vicious eyes, while Liu Cong fell to the ground, looking like a man who had lost his mind, staring blankly at the gradually leaving Liu Biao.

Liu Qi was crying at this moment. He was crying because he was extremely sure in his heart that Liu Bei was the person sent by Zhuge Liang to help him. He finally didn't have to live in fear every day.
