Looking at Yuan Shu with a happy face, Liu Mastiff really couldn't say words to dissuade, he looked at everyone, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were a little suspicious in their eyes, I was afraid, they also saw the strangeness of Yuan Shu, and the three closest relatives of Yuan Shu could detect the difference in Yuan Shu, during this period of time, Yuan Shu's changes were too great, Yuan Shu said, and looked at Zhou Yu on the side, and said: "Gong Jin, you also follow me!" ”

"Respectfully!" Zhou Yu hurriedly bowed.

Everyone continued to chat, they had just returned to Luoyang, Liu Mastiff knew that they were tired, and did not let them stay for too long, just left Yuan Shu to rest here, and the rest of them left, of course, Zhou Yu also stayed, supported Yuan Shu back to the house, to listen to his lecture, Liu Mastiff was about to return, but saw that Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi did not leave, Liu Mastiff walked to their side and asked, "Uncle, Zhongda, what's wrong?" ”

"Your Highness...."Zhuge Liang frowned, and he asked, "What kind of medicine did the doctor give to Yuan?" ”

"I don't know..."Liu Mastiff shook his head and said helplessly: "However, Yuan Gong's body is finally good, isn't this good?" He said with a smile, however, the two people in front of him could see through the bitterness hidden in his smile at a glance, Sima Yi pondered for a long time and asked, "He didn't cure his uncle's illness, did he?" ”

Liu Mastiff was stunned for a moment and did not reply.

"He just let his uncle disperse to relieve his pain??" Sima Yi asked coldly.

Zhuge Liang on the side asked: "What is dispersion?" ”

"It is highly poisonous, which can hide the pain of the moment, but destroys its roots..."

"Dog Thief !!" Zhuge Liang snorted violently, holding the sword in his hand, and walked towards the door, Liu Mastiff hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and grabbed Zhuge Liang's sleeve to prevent him from leaving, Zhuge Liang turned his head a little incredulously, looked at the prince, and asked, "Your Highness, do you know the truth??? ”

He saw Liu Mastiff's face distorted by pain, tears kept sliding down his eyes, he gritted his teeth, endured, did not make a sound, he nodded.

Zhuge Liang didn't ask, and let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword.

"Doctor Hua said that he was late, and Shijun's time was running out, so he couldn't tell Shijun the truth, so he could only make Shijun happier... These days, I always look at Shijun, I don't know, if one day, I can no longer see him, what will become of me.... I was scared, but I didn't dare to say it, I didn't say it to anyone... I'm still in constant contact with the doctor... Don't let Shijun know..."

"At least, don't let him be so miserable...."

Liu Mastiff cried and said.

Zhuge Liang closed his eyes in pain and couldn't speak for a long time.

Sending Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi away, Liu Mastiff sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, for some reason, his heart was always filled with a deep fear, he breathed deeply, covered his head, and let himself stop thinking about it.

"Your Highness... Shijun is looking for you..."Zhou Yu appeared behind him at some point and said in a low voice.

Liu Mastiff got up, saluted Zhou Yu in return, said that he was tired, and then went to Yuan Shu's house with him.

Entering the house, I saw Yuan Shu sitting on the bed, not wearing a shirt, breathing deeply, the whole body, looking extraordinarily thin, the skeleton was clearly visible, completely different from before, and the scars on the body became more shocking, this is the first time Liu Mastiff saw these scars on Yuan Shu's body, these scars, showing the supreme glory of a hundred battle generals, Liu Mastiff has seen a lot of soldiers, but has never seen so many, frightening scars.

I don't know when, Yuan Shu opened his eyes, saw the somewhat sluggish Liu Mastiff in front of him, smiled, and said, "What, scared?" ”

"This is the price of climbing all the way from the soldier to the Taifu!"

Liu Mastiff possessed himself and bowed to Yuan Shu.

"Okay, get up...."Yuan Shu said, put on his clothes again, took a few breaths, and said helplessly: "After taking this medicine, my whole body is hot and uneasy, if I hadn't seen it, I would have thought that Hua Tuo was lying to me to take it!" ”

"Mastiff, tomorrow I will go to Your Majesty, let him allow me to help Hua Xiong, I have known Your Majesty since childhood, he should not refuse, perhaps, I have to leave Luoyang for a while, these days, you will go to your grandfather, I gave him instructions, he has a lot of books there, you can bring them all, anyway, he has no heirs, these books are yours sooner or later... Then, you will be born in the palace and study...."

"Why don't you go with me?" Liu Mastiff asked.

"No need... You just stay, study hard, and when I come back, I will take the school exam! ”

"Respectfully!"

Liu Mastiff replied.

The next day, just in the early hours of the morning, Yuan Shu left the East Palace and went to the Houde Palace.

The Son of Heaven was sitting in the hall reading, and when he heard Yuan Shu coming, he was also overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Hanmen to bring him in, the Son of Heaven stood at the door, smiling and waiting, Yuan Shu walked in, and when he saw the Son of Heaven in front of him, he hurriedly wanted to meet him, and the Son of Heaven pulled him up, smiled, and brought him to the Hu chair, which put a soft cushion on the Hu chair, which was specially placed for Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu and the Son of Heaven sat down together.

"Highway... Long time no see... I heard that you are seriously ill and have the heart to visit, but you have not had any free time, and things are one after another..."The Son of Heaven shook his head and said, Yuan Shu smiled disapprovingly, and said: "I have a small illness, I don't need to..."

"Why have you lost so much weight? Hahaha, I still remember that back then, when we first met in Luoyang, you were still a little fat man, and you were beaten by me! The Son of Heaven laughed and said, Yuan Shu also remembered the past when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile and said: "At that time, if it wasn't for the fact that Your Majesty brought too many people, maybe who would have beaten whom!" ”

"Hahaha, that's reasonable, remember, Ma Lang, you, I, the three of you played together in He Yeye's courtyard... It's like yesterday..."

"yes, this time has passed so fast... By the way, what about Ma Jun? I didn't see him when I came back..."

"He, staying in Ningzhou, I heard that he was going to build water conservancy there, and he went for several years, and he didn't come back...."

"Does he still stutter?"

"It's been good for a long time, but ah, after Wen Rengong died, he spoke a lot less, and he didn't like to talk much..."

The two chatted for a long time, and then Yuan Shu said: "Your Majesty, this time, the minister came to you for Hua Xiong's affairs, Your Majesty also knows that Hua Xiong is a person who does not choose his words, he is too straightforward, if he is an official, I am afraid that he will be bullied.... I want to make a fake zou.. Teach him on the side, although this person has no ability, but fortunately, he doesn't engage in those who don't have it, he is a real person, if he cultivates it well, he can be of great use in the future! ”

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, the Son of Heaven pondered for a moment and said, "How can I make you subordinate to Huaxiong?" Why don't you be the captain of this school? ”

"Your Majesty..."Yuan Shu smiled a little bitterly, he lowered his head, looked at his hands, was speechless for a long time, and was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said: "The minister's time is short, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on this position." ”

"Highway, you!"

The Son of Heaven looked at Yuan Shu in front of him and was speechless.

Yuan Shu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Chen's body, I know that time is running out, even if Huajun is the reincarnation of Bian Que, there is no way to save me, what he gave me to eat is just something that suppresses pain, or scattered..."

"That.. This..."The Son of Heaven was stunned and speechless.

"Your Majesty, only I know about this matter, I didn't tell Mastiff, they all thought I was fine, so it's okay, before leaving, I don't have to let them grieve in vain, it's good to leave like this..." If he knew, he might have felt so uncomfortable... Anyway, in this life, I've killed enough enemies and enjoyed wealth, so I don't have any regrets..."

"However, if I leave, the officials of the East Palace are still young, I am afraid that Mastiff will not be able to solve anything, and he can't ask His Majesty for help in everything, before leaving, I will teach Huaxiong well, with him, I can also feel at ease..."

The Son of Heaven closed his eyes, pondered for a long time, sighed, and nodded.

Yuan Shu continued to chat with the Son of Heaven without any sadness or worry at all.

The Son of Heaven sent him away, but his heart was extremely complicated, he sat in the Houde Palace, and just sat for a while, he heard the Hanmen tell that the prince came to visit, and the Son of Heaven forcibly cheered up and let Liu Mastiff come in.

Liu Mastiff walked in, met the Son of Heaven, and sat in front of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Mastiff's face looked very bad, and the Son of Heaven stared at it for a moment before asking, "What's wrong??" ”

Liu Mastiff raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, and he said, "Father, please answer Shijun's recital, and let him help Captain Hua... Father doesn't know, the master is he.... Now they all rely on Hua Tuo's own dispersal to drive away the pain. I don't know how long he'll last... Father's mercy..."

Looking at the Liu mastiff who was crying bitterly in front of him, the Son of Heaven looked surprised, and he asked, "What?" Highway him? ”

Pursing his lips, he sighed and said, "Mastiff, don't cry, I know, I will agree..."

"Thank you, Father! Thank you, Father! ”

Looking at the crown prince who wiped away his tears, his eyes were red, and he walked out of the Houde Palace, the Son of Heaven shook his head and sighed again.

Got the consent of the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shu took Zhou Yu, and went to find Hua Xiong, originally Hua Xiong was still distressed, heard that Yuan Shu was coming, his heart was happy, and he hurriedly went out to greet him, Yuan Shu saw him, but he smiled and stretched out his hand, and said: "Captain Sili fake Yuan Shu, meet Captain Si Li!" ”

When Hua Xiong heard this, he was stunned for a long time and did not react, and when he saw the official uniform on Yuan Shu's body, he realized and was overjoyed.

He waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, just get up, although you are my subordinate, but after all, you have also been my commander, I will not blame you for being rude!! ”

..............

A group of three people, walking among the countryside of Sili, Hua Xiong stroked his somewhat dark eyes and asked, "Captain, aren't we going to see those subordinate officials and county commanders?" ”

Yuan Shu shook his head and said seriously: "You two remember, seeing is believing, hearing is false, these officials will never tell you the truth, they will only tell you the most beneficial things for them, and if you want to really know the situation of a place, you must go to see it in person, go for a walk, at this time, you still have to be a student, a people's husband, quietly go to see..."

"So that you can see the real truth."

"This is what my master told me, and you must also keep it in mind."
