Chapter 151 Zhang Zhongjing

Jingzhou
Nanyang
"Shuang, why did we have to take a detour to come here?"

Zhang Shiping was walking on the small path with a lot of doubts in his mind. He thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure it out. He had to look to Su Shuang who was traveling with him, hoping that Su Shuang could give him an answer.

Su Shuang sighed helplessly, "Zhang Shiping, Zhang Shiping, how can I understand if you don't know me? Just like Hua Changshi said, if you don't understand, don't think too much. Anyway, the lord will not lie to us. You and I just need to handle the instructions of the lord and Hua Changshi."

"You're right." Zhang Shiping nodded seriously.

Didn't go long.

Zhang Shiping asked in surprise, "Shuang, is there a shed ahead? Are there any words on the shed?"

Su Shuang looked in the direction Zhang Shiping said, but saw a small shed at the end of his field of vision. A cloth flag was hung on the shed. The flag fluttered in the wind. There were words printed on the flag, but no matter how hard he looked at it, he couldn't see clearly.

"A tavern? I'm afraid it's a shady place. Shi Ping, go get the telescope."

"it is good."

Su Shuang assigned tasks as usual and ordered the accompanying soldiers to be on alert.

Zhang Shiping took out an object, and he was extremely careful in his movements, for fear of dropping it on the ground. This object was the "telescope", which was made by craftsman Pu Yu after continuous learning and polishing. Bamboo was used as the tube of the mirror, and round glass was inlaid at both ends. In this way, one can see the scenery clearly a hundred or even a thousand steps away.

Liu Bei always encouraged craftsmen to innovate. It is said that Pu Yu was unable to find a breakthrough in farm tools, so he focused his attention on other things when not forging farm tools. One day, he heard a conversation between Liu Bei and Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo said, "General, there are children who have great difficulty in reading. They can see clearly at a distance, but it is blurry under their eyelids. When they lower their heads to look at the words on the jute paper, they are overlapping and they are like ants that cannot be distinguished at all."

Liu Bei subconsciously said, "This is to wear glasses. Use glass to grind into lenses."

After listening to Liu Bei's description of Pu Yu, he was greatly inspired. After experimenting in his spare time, he finally made a "telescope". Liu Bei was overjoyed. He not only gave Pu Yu money, but also praised Pu Yu in front of all the officials. Pu Yu became the leader of all the craftsmen.
This made Zhang Shiping extremely envious. To be praised by his lord, his life was truly worthwhile!

"Shi Ping, did you see clearly?"

Su Shuang's urging voice rang in Zhang Shiping's ears. Zhang Shiping reacted immediately and replied several times, "I'll take a look right away."

He clenched his binoculars tightly, and the moment he saw the words on the flag clearly through the lens, he subconsciously shouted out
"Mi! It's Mi! The word Mi!"

"?!"

Su Shuang's pupils slightly dilated. When the word "Mi" was mentioned, he could only think of one person, Xuzhou wealthy merchant
"Is it Mr. Mi Zizhong?!" Su Shuangxi said.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Zhang Shiping put down his telescope and frowned as he recalled, "I remember Mr. Mi said he wanted to open trade routes to Jingzhou and Yizhou. Has he already come to Nanyang so soon?"

"Don't worry about it, Shi Ping, let's go take a look!"

Su Shuang directly grabbed Zhang Shiping's arm and strode towards the direction of the shed. They admired Mi Zhu from the bottom of their hearts. In order to help Liu Bei, Mi Zhu wanted to give everything. How could people not admire such courage?
The soldiers following behind the two men exchanged glances and quickly caught up without further words.

The two men arrived in front of the shed and happened to see the guy walking out of the shed.

The waiter was a young man with an ordinary appearance and simple clothes, but he looked honest and reliable. The moment he saw Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, his steps paused and a bright smile appeared on his face. He asked happily, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Su Shuang and Mr. Zhang Shiping?!"

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other, and saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes. They nodded and said, "May I ask if you are Mr. Mi's man?"

"That's right! I'm waiting here for the two gentlemen on the orders of the master of the house, Mi Zizhong!" After saying that, the waiter put down the basin of water he was holding, wiped his hands on his clothes, hurried back into the house, and took out a token.

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping took it and compared it with theirs to see which one matched them. They asked for some more information and the guy answered fluently.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Zhang, we are following the orders of the master. If you have any instructions, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best to do it." The waiter said, patting his chest.

Su Shuang smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. We came here not only to spread General Liu's ideas, but also to find someone."

"who?"

Zhang Shiping took the opportunity to say, "The man from Nanyang County is Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing!" "A-choo!"

Zhang Zhongjing sneezed violently. He was a little puzzled. How strange! Why did he sneeze suddenly? Was someone gossiping behind his back?
"Doctor, doctor, how is my condition?"

The man looked at Zhang Zhongjing with a nervous expression.

"It's nothing, just a cold. Just take the medicine on time." Zhang Zhongjing's brows relaxed, his tone was kind, and he kept comforting the man. Only then did the man gradually feel relieved.

"Snapped."

Three or four local thugs kicked over Zhang Zhongjing's medicine bag, raised their heads and looked down at him.

Seeing this, the man mustered up his courage and used all his strength to straighten his chest. Even though his thighs were trembling, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Doctor Zhang is a good man. Zhuang, did you recognize the wrong person?"

In response, the leading bully didn't even look at the man, but just snorted coldly, "Get lost."

The man was like a deflated ball. He immediately shrank his head, said to Zhang Zhongjing, "I have to take care of my mother at home," and turned and ran away.

"You are the one who ruined my brother's life?" The bully clenched his fists and made a crackling sound.

Zhang Zhongjing showed no fear, and even his tone did not waver in the slightest. He said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"What are you talking about? I want you to understand that my brother worked so hard to treat a patient yesterday, but you took his patient away. I used to worry about you being an official in the county government, but now that you have resigned, I have no worries."

Zhang Zhongjing suddenly realized, "So you are the liar who can't measure an inch or a foot, and can't shake hands or feet. I advise your brother to study medicine well and not to cheat people."

"fraud?!!!"

The leading bully was so angry that his facial features were distorted. Just as he was about to punch, he felt a pain in his shoulder. He wailed in pain and fell to his knees.

The other bullies cursed and swore as they turned around to see who had the guts to ruin their day.

But the moment they saw who was coming, they were stunned where they were. Dozens of soldiers in leather armor stared at them coldly, which made their scalps tingle. The strongest heroes among them held down their brother, and their brother could only wail weakly.

Two relatively thin men came out and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, which one is Zhang Ji, Zhang Zhongjing?"

"It's me." Zhang Zhongjing patted his clothes and stood up. "What are your names?"

"Su Shuang"

"Zhang Shiping"

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping laughed.

Zhang Zhongjing frowned and thought about it, then realized that he didn't remember these two people.

Su Shuang hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, we are entrusted by the Chief Historian Hua Yuan Hua Hua to invite you to Jincheng County in Liangzhou."

"No, I"

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing seemed to be about to refuse, Zhang Shiping saw it and was anxious. He immediately took out a few pieces of jute paper, stuffed them into Zhang Zhongjing's arms, and advised: "Mr. Zhang, you must not refuse. Think about it again. Jincheng County is in Qingming Festival. General Liu invited famous doctors from all over the world to discuss medical skills together. It will surely help the people of the world to have their diseases cured."

"No." Zhang Zhongjing took a deep breath, "I have heard about this matter. I originally wanted to go to Jincheng, Liangzhou to study medicine."

Zhang Shiping: “Ah?”
