Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 491

On the 28th of the first lunar month, Cao Cao arrived in Xudu.Cao Pi led people to greet him outside the city. Before Cao Cao could show up, Cao Pi wept and bowed in front of the carriage: "My father was away fighting, and I failed to take good care of Cangshu. My son is guilty!"

Cao Zhi quickly fell to his knees at the prompt of Yang Xiu: "Father, take care of yourself."

Cao Cao said in the carriage: "Get up, let's go back to the house and talk about it."

Cao Cao was half lying on the bed, while Cao Pi led his brothers to kneel down on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"I wrote a letter a month ago saying that Cangshu was sick and had asked Hua Tuo for treatment. What kind of illness was it? How did he die?"

"Back to father, although Hua Tuo was invited, he has never been diagnosed, and all the decoctions he took have worked. My child thinks that either Hua Tuo has a false name, or he didn't try his best."

"Where is Hua Tuo?"

"It has been left in the mansion by the child."

"Send him to see you. You wait to step back and wait outside."

When Hua Tuo saw Cao Cao, he bowed to Cao Cao without kneeling. "I have met the prime minister."

"I've heard about Mr. Zhou's name for a long time. The person Zhou Weiguo likes must not be in vain. Let me ask you, what's wrong with Cang Shu?"

"Back to the prime minister, although I have been practicing medicine for half my life, I have never seen this disease. I think the young master may be invaded by external evils and hurt the inner abdomen..."

"Evil? What evil?"

"Maybe it's some kind of disease, or poisoned..."

"Poison?" Cao Cao's eyes widened. Who would dare to poison. "How dare you decide?"

"I don't dare to judge rashly. If I want to confirm the diagnosis, I have to dig up the son's body..."

"Bold!" Cao Cao was furious.

Cao Pi and others heard Cao Cao yelling outside, and hurried in: "Father, calm down. Father is still ill, don't hurt yourself again."

Cao Cao's hands were trembling and his face was red. "Pull this person out and behead him!" Cao Cao believed in Hua Tuo's ability. Hua Tuo suspected that he was poisoned, and there was no need for an autopsy.The most important thing is that people must not know that Cao Chong died of poisoning, which will inevitably cause confusion; let alone let people know that they have been aware of Cao Chong's poisoning, that will only make people jump the wall and take risks.Chibi was defeated, and even Xu couldn't stand the toss, not to mention that Cao Cao couldn't determine how much he would be involved, so he had to sacrifice Hua Tuo.

"Father, Hua Tuo is a famous doctor." Cao Zhi persuaded.

"Hmph, what kind of famous doctor can't diagnose the cause, can't save Cang Shu, what a quack doctor!"

"Father, Hua Tuo is from Zhou Cang and Zhou Weiguo..." Cao Pi said.

"It's just a doctor. Don't be naughty, Zidan, drag Hua Tuo out and behead him. Forget it, give him a glass of poisoned wine and leave a whole body." In Cao Cao's heart, Hua Tuo was just a doctor.

Hua Tuo could only secretly lament that the family of eunuchs was as deep as the sea, dragged out by Cao Zhen, and died after drinking poison. A generation of famous doctors died like this without knowing why.

"Hua Tuo recommended it?" Cao Cao still didn't give up.

"It was Zhang Quan, the son of Zhang Xiu, who was sick and asked Hua Tuo to come and treat him." Cao Pi didn't mention Zhou Buyi, but Zhang Quan.After Cao Chong died of illness, Cao Pi began to win over Zhou Buyi for his own use. Zhou Buyi, who had never been in contact with other Cao family princes, seemed to suddenly change his temper and immediately reciprocated with peaches and plums, so Cao Pi wanted to keep Zhou Buyi.

Cao Pi not only wins over Zhou Buyi, but also makes friends with celebrities everywhere. He often entertains guests and friends, treats guests and give gifts, and asking about his health is a common thing, so he spends a lot of money. Pull sponsorship.His confidant Wu Zhi recommended two people to him. One was his uncle Cao Hong. Everyone knew that Cao Hong made a lot of money. The request was flatly rejected, and Cao Pi was advised to be frugal instead, which made Cao Pi very unhappy.The other person is Zhang Quan, Wu Zhi is very strange, Zhang Quan does not have much property, even if Zhang Xiu has searched for goods from Guanzhong, after so many years, there should be very little left, but Zhang Quan has never been short of money, it is worth deliberating, So Cao Pi borrowed money from Zhang Quan, but Zhang Quan cried poor, Cao Pi was even more annoyed.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Pi sold Zhang Quan.

"Give him a glass of poisonous wine too." Cao Cao was tired, "Let someone choose an auspicious day for Cang Shu's burial, and you can retire later."

Cao Cao's order was to kill Zhang Quan with poison, but Cao Pi and Cao Zhen ransacked Zhang Quan's home and found 2000 taels of gold. Cao Pi asked the source, but Zhang Quan only said that his father Zhang Xiu left him. Smuggle 2000 taels of gold back to the mansion.

Mu Dong reported Zhou Cang's order to Duan Muling. Duan Muling wanted to sneak into Cao's mansion several times to meet Hua Tuo and tell him the cure. However, Cao Zhen's guards were tight and he had no chance. He was unwilling to return to Xuzhou like this, so he violated Zhou Cang's order. After leaving Zhang Quan's mansion, Mu Dong and the others were still stranded in Xudu looking for opportunities.

The whereabouts of Lieutenant Mojin were not found, but the inexplicable disappearance of the craftsman who smelted the copper tripod made Duanmuling feel that the situation was even more critical. He wanted to see Zhang Quan again, but found that there were eyeliners around Zhang Quan's mansion. After being a guest at Cao Pi's mansion, the eyeliner staring at Zhou Buyi disappeared.Duanmuling was very skeptical. The person staring at Zhou Busu was not Yang Xiu at all. Mu Dong and Mu Nan were very likely to be discovered by the other party before setting up a trap. He immediately ordered them to leave Xudu to avoid being recognized. .

Duanmuling admires Zhou Buyi very much. He thinks that Zhou Busu is definitely not surrendering to Cao Pi, but wants to use this to find out the truth and avenge Cao Chong.

When Cao Chong died of illness, Cao Pi and Cao Zhen kept blocking the news and only reported it to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao returned to Xudu, Duanmu Ling felt that something serious happened.When Duan Muling got the news again, it was Hua Tuo who misdiagnosed Cao Chong and caused Cao Chong's death. Cao Cao was furious and poisoned Hua Tuo, and Zhang Quan was poisoned together because he was implicated in recommending Hua Tuo.

Duanmuling was shocked and annoyed, hated even more, hated himself for being incompetent, could only wait and watch helplessly, unable to do anything.The matter was not found out, and Hua Tuo was not rescued. He went back to Xuzhou to see Zhou Cang, and he decided to find a chance to see Zhou Buyi for the last time.

February [-], according to legend, is the day Xuanyuan Huangdi was born and the day chosen for Cao Chong's burial.Cao Cao buried Cao Chong with only the Cao clan, and the seven-star sword was buried with Cao Chong in the ground as a funeral object. The Captain Mojin that Duanmuling was looking forward to did not appear.

Zhou Buyi also came to the scene as Cao Pi's entourage, but he showed a little sadness, which made Cao Pi very satisfied.After the funeral, Cao Pi recommended Zhou Buyi to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao said, "This man's intelligence is beyond your control."

Before boarding the car, he said again: "The death of Cang Shu is my misfortune, but it is your blessing." After finishing speaking, he left, only to make Cao Pi and others smile bitterly and be speechless.

Because of Cao Cao's words, Zhou Buyi did not live in Cao Pi's mansion that night and returned to his home. When Duanmuling went to see Zhou Buyi at night, he found that he had been assassinated to death!
