Chapter 177 Shocking Hua Tuo
"Yuanlong, who is this person?"

"My father, this man is a descendant of the imperial family, and his integrity is known throughout the world. He has great ambitions and good plans. Most heroes in the world seek fame and reputation, but this man is different. When it comes to outstanding heroes with the strategy of a king or a hegemon, this man is the one I respect the most!"

"Oh? This evaluation is much better than before."

Even the usually serious Chen Gui was moved. Although his son had the ambition to help the world and bring peace to the people, he was also proud. When faced with someone who came to ask for money and a house, no matter how famous that person was, his son despised him in his heart. He didn't kick that person out because he cared about the family's reputation.

Chen Gui narrowed his eyes and thought: Among all the heroes in the world, there are very few who can catch Yuanlong's eye. There is only one person who came from a humble background, was a descendant of the imperial family, and had a rising reputation. He met all of Yuanlong's requirements.

A name popped up in his mind, but Chen Gui didn't say it. He deliberately asked, "Yuanlong, after thinking about it, I really don't know who you are talking about? How is this person better than Chen Yuanfang, Hua Ziyu, Zhao Yuanda, and Kong Wenju you mentioned before?"

"Haha, Father, please listen to me carefully!"

This question made Chen Deng even ignore his favorite fish sashimi. He stood up and said, "Chen Yuanfang, you have a strict family and are virtuous. I am willing to listen to his teachings! Hua Ziyu, you have a noble character and are as white as jade. I am willing to treat him as a guest of honor! Zhao Yuanda, you are upright and righteous, and hate evil as an enemy. I am willing to be his friend! Kong Wenju is knowledgeable and talented. I am willing to talk about classics with him! These four people are all extraordinary talents, but I don't think I am inferior to them. However, it is difficult for them to be called heroes. The only hero in the world is Liu Xuande!"

"Liu Xuande"

Chen Gui sighed in his heart, it is indeed so.

He asked, "What are Yuanlong's plans for such a hero?"

"I want to use the power of my clan. First, I can help General Liu clear the rift between him and the eunuchs. Second, I can help build momentum and fame for the general. Third, Xuzhou is rich. Even if the general is far away in the Western Regions, I have a secret line to contact him and can lend a helping hand when necessary!"

After saying this, Chen Deng saw that Chen Gui did not express his opinion, and was as calm as a meditating Taoist priest. Chen Deng stuffed the cloth in his arms into Chen Gui's arms, and walked towards the door, laughing: "Hahaha, General Liu's third brother Zhang Yide has a poem that says, 'Although I am not a clerk when I was young, I still want to be a long-term official based on my merits! A real man, how can he stay in the study for a long time? He should follow the example of Fu Jiezi, Ban Chao, and Zhong Jun, go to the Western Regions to make merits and win a title of nobility!"

Chen Gui felt his face twitching. Was he just waiting for him to fall into his trap?

He lowered his head and saw the densely packed words on the cloth. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. This Liu Xuande was indeed not a simple person!

Just as Chen Deng was about to step out of the door, Chen Gui shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Almost the moment the voice fell, Chen Deng stopped walking. He looked at Chen Gui and laughed, "Father, have you made a decision?"

"Alas," Chen Gui could no longer maintain his stern expression. He said helplessly, "I am really defeated by you. As for the decision, I will follow your words!"

Chen Deng was overjoyed and immediately thanked him.

Chen Gui waved his hand and poured cold water on Chen Deng, "Don't be too happy too soon. The current situation is turbulent. Before rushing to help Liu Xuande, you have to consider your clan."

"That's natural." Chen Deng added, "Father, the sky of Xuzhou is too small. I am not a bird in a cage. I will never be bound by this!"

"Hmm?" Chen Gui frowned and returned to his usual stern look, "Don't you care about your clan?"

"Haha, won't it be enough for me to train a descendant who can protect the clan?"

Hearing this answer, Chen Gui's brows relaxed and he nodded with satisfaction, "Yuanlong, you should still keep your clan in mind."

And then the next moment.

Chen Deng's laughter stopped.

"Yuanlong, what's wrong with you?!"

Almost immediately, Chen Gui noticed Chen Deng's abnormality. He threw the cloth in his arms casually and ran to Chen Deng. He saw Chen Deng's brows were twisted, his hands were holding his abdomen, and his face was in pain. Chen Gui, who had always been calm, was no longer calm. He opened his mouth and was about to say "Someone, call a doctor quickly."
A servant came hurriedly to report, "Master, Young Master, General Liu's envoy is here to see you!"

Messengers? Which messenger is more important than my son? However, Chen Gui's remaining clarity in the panic still prevailed, and he spoke very quickly: "Just say that Yuanlong is unwell and ask all the messengers to leave for now and I will visit you another day!"

"Do not--"

Chen Deng grabbed Chen Gui's arm and said, "Father, I'm fine."

"Shut up! Do you think I'm blind?!" Chen Gui blew his beard and glared.

"Master, there is a doctor among the messengers." The servant said timidly.

"I know, go and tell him quickly..." Chen Gui almost didn't have time to change his words, "What did you say? Why are you still standing here? Go and invite the envoy to come!"

"Yes!" The servant felt as if he had been pardoned.

On the way to the main hall of Chen's mansion, Mi Zhu asked with lingering fear: "Master Hua, it is absolutely true. Are the worms contained in raw water and raw meat really so huge?"

Hua Tuo, stroking his beard, explained: "Mr. Mi, I dare not claim to be the best in the world in terms of medical skills, but when it comes to treating worms and killing parasites, I do have quite a bit of experience."

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Mr. Mi, Hua Changshi is being modest. His medical skills are known to all the soldiers in Liangzhou. They are second to none!"

Hua Tuo felt elated when he was praised by Zhao Yun, and he began to talk about his experience. Zhang Zhongjing would never miss such a good opportunity, so he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Do you understand everything?"

After finishing his speech in one breath, Hua Tuo looked at everyone.

Zhao Yun blinked, as if he understood something.

Mi Zhu also blinked his eyes. Wasn’t that what Hua Changshi was talking about? Why was it solved like this?
On the other hand, Zhang Zhongjing took out a book made of jute paper, stepped forward, pointed at the illustrations on the book and asked, "Chief, what kind of herbal medicine do you use here?"

"No, I've tried." Hua Tuo shook his head.

Wu Pu, Hua Tuo's most senior disciple, also began to explain to the doctors.

After a few breaths, Mi Zhu suddenly asked, "Master Hua, can you simplify the prescription for killing worms and make a medicine for different ages of patients to kill worms directly? This way, not only can we make money, but also benefit the people!"

"It's a bit difficult," Hua Tuo shook his head.

"Dear guests, the master and young master are in the house ahead. We will take our leave now."

The servants' voices brought everyone back to reality.

Before everyone could enter the house, Chen Gui greeted them with a smile, "You are all the envoys of General Liu. I am sorry for the long journey and I am sorry for the poor hospitality. Please come in."

"Please," everyone responded.

As everyone entered the house and saw Chen Deng, before Mi Zhu could greet him, Hua Tuo beside him took a deep breath.

"So many bugs!"

 I'm really sorry to all my benefactors. My phone broke last night and couldn't be turned on. I was totally out of my element when typing.
