At the end of July, in Xudu, there were countless dead, and the smell of burning permeated the four fields.

An old man named Hua Tuo walked outside the city with two men and a woman, trying to treat the sick as much as possible. His footsteps swayed slightly, and he couldn't bear it anymore in such a day, and the filthy stench and crying from the people around him were all the victims who were as thin as corpses.

However, there are already many people who have survived, and there are countless more people than the few major epidemics in the early years. Even though I know that there are people in the gruel. Meat, also knows that a large number of seriously ill victims were cruelly thrown into the fire, he is not a mediocre person, he understands the truth, and he will not expose it, maybe more people know, and they also chose to keep silent at this time, which is also reasonable.

The old man looked back and saw Cao Ang following behind him, his clothes were dirty, his face was numb, and he was a little sad, and after sighing, he continued to walk forward through the victims, "....... Prime Minister Cao Cheng, what he did right, the corpse infected with the plague was ignored, and the consequences were even more serious, and only those with great courage dared to burn it. ”

"But there are also living people......"

"Can't be saved...... Sooner or later, more people will be harmed, and since sooner or later they will also die, it will be no different from a corpse. Hua Tuo dealt with a victim who was injured in the chaos, got up and walked slowly, glanced back at Cao Ang, and smiled: "As a doctor, you must have the heart of looking down on life and death, and you must also have the responsibility of compassion for the world. ”

"Studying medicine can't save so many people......"

Cao Ang looked at the boundless crowd, these days, recalling the day he saw the woman holding her sick young son and dying in the flames, and saw countless people and corpses like slaughtered domestic animals, even if ten days ago, a famous doctor named Zhang Zhongjing was brought to Chang'an by Wu Anguo and distributed a large number of decoctions, but what died every day was not only the torture of the plague, but also some of the chaos of civil law and order, and the violence of severe hunger.

In the great disaster, people who used to walk on the land and fight for power and profit at all levels, under such a crisis, some people were also panicked and chaotic, and some people were forced to be called as pigs and dogs, and some wives and daughters were sent out, just to exchange for a few mouthfuls of food...... In the final analysis, the world is in chaos, and the chaos after the disaster is infinitely magnified, and it is difficult to stop it forcefully.

"Then what do you want to do next...... Wu Anguo turned his head to look at him, "Go back and fight for power, and when your father is a hundred years later, you will become an emperor?" Zi Xuan ...... You're not suitable. ”

Yun Niang nervously grabbed the corner of the man next to her.

"It's fine."

Cao Ang patted the back of her hand comfortingly, looked at them, and had a smile on his face: "What will happen in the future...... Besides, let's wait for this matter now, let's go to see the governor of Gongsun, and then go to Shanggu County to settle down, Taigong, are you willing to join us? ”

"That's not going to happen." The old man waved his hand, looked at the three of them, and turned around: "The old man is still hanging the pot to help the world, happy and happy, the doctor should not be involved in the messy battle, save people with peace of mind, save one is one." ”

The old man said these words simply, he kept walking through the crowd, treating everyone who could see it, in the entire lifeless disaster camp, there was occasional excitement, people's footsteps rushed to and fro, he turned around and looked at the city wall with Cao Ang and Yun Niang, and someone's voice spread around.

"Yuan Shao from Jizhou sent a batch of grain."

"It's not just Yuan Shao...... There is also food from Hanoi, Hedong and Hexi. ”

"Zhang Xiu from the south has come down from the city, and he has just entered through the south gate."

"We're saved—"

Excited and excited words came from the mouths of the people around him from time to time, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his white beard, and the clouds covering Yuzhou were about to disperse, and the life of the victims here should be much better, he thought.

The great sorrow that swirls is finally coming to an end.

***********

At the same time, dusk is about to fall, and a huge welcoming procession enters the city.

The fast horse with the news galloped on the way to the palace, surrounded by welcoming pedestrians, walking against the current. Far away in the direction of the imperial city, in the Baizifang, outside the queen's dormitory, the guards patrolled by, the maids and eunuchs were sent to wait under the corridor, most of them lowered their heads, did not dare to raise them, a huge figure walked in front of them from time to time, in the hall, there were female voices intermittently sounded and came out.

"Wancheng Zhang Xiu raised the city to surrender, and then Yuan Shao and Liu Biao sent grain and straw to subsidize, isn't there a little worry in the governor's heart? Prime Minister Cao Cheng has now taken the land of Sanzhou, and now he has Nanyang County, you said that he will fight against Yuan Benchu with the governor in the future, or that when your goal is achieved, I am afraid that with his power, I am afraid that it will be the next Yuan Shao, how can the governor resist alone? ”

Jin Luan's embroidered shoes lightly stepped on the cold ground, and the pretty figure looked at Gongsun Zhi who was wearing a robe over there, and walked over slowly, "...... In the end, didn't it become a wedding dress for each other for nothing? ”

The room was quiet, the lights were swaying and the tall figure was swaying on the screen, Gongsun Zhi was wearing a belt and did not speak, and the slender Fu Shou behind him approached with a long skirt, reached out to help him tie it, and showed a smile on his face: "...... In the future, whoever says it clearly, you don't try to get separated, what Cao Mengde and I do, it has nothing to do with the Han family. ”

"The governor is wrong, how can it be okay."

Tie the belt, the full chest is close to the other party, and the pretty face is gently leaning on the broad shoulder, "Gu is the true queen of the Han family, how can you go on like this, what do you say?" ”

"Fushou, ......"

The figure shook, Gongsun Zhi broke away from the arms on both sides, turned around, and the words dragged on for a long time, and then lowered down: "How you go depends entirely on yourself, and I, Gongsun Zhi, also have what I want to do, I told you last time, don't be smart, you are in the palace, this city is Cao Cao's people, what do you do to fight with others?" ”

"Playing conspiracy is like a double-edged sword, if you are not careful, it is not only the enemy who cuts......" The wide palm stroked the girl's thin shoulder, and the smile was even worse, revealing the white teeth, "... Even hurt yourself more seriously than others, Queen, do you think it's right? ”

The straight-faced figure smiled and said these words, Fu Shou's chest rose and fell rapidly, almost holding his breath, although the other party was talking and laughing, but it always made the back of the neck hairy, and the man on the other side who invaded the dim light was like a wolf lurking in the shadows, slowly showing his fangs.

“…… Then the lonely will not speak. The girl whispered, panicking out of the way.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Dian Wei's voice came in outside: "Lord, someone outside the palace sent a message to come in......" Halfway through the words, the door opened abruptly, Gongsun Zhi walked in front of the giant man, took the news and glanced at it, nodded as usual, pinched the plain silk into the palm of his hand, turned back to the girl in the house and said: "I'll go first, the queen will sleep by herself." ”

On the other side of the door, the moment the lantern under the eaves shone on the figure and left, Fu Shou sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, his eyes were wet and red, tears were dripping, and he cried faintly in a faint voice.

……

When night fell, the orange light spread under the corridor, the figure dragged on the ground, Gongsun Zhi strode out of Baizifang, his smiling face gradually converged, and he became indifferent, while walking, he instructed Dian Wei and Li Ke behind him: "Zhang Xiu is eating a banquet in Cao's mansion, that Jia Xu is not there, he may rest in the post house......"

His steps stopped, and the robe swayed.

Later, Dian and Li also stopped and arched their hands, only to hear the voice continue coldly: "...... Go to the palace gate and prepare all the men and horses, and come with me, some accounts should be collected. ”

"Yes!" The two shouted in unison.

At the other end of the corridor, Liu Xie came over with his maid and eunuch, and when he saw Gongsun Zhi, who was walking again, he hurriedly turned sideways to the side of the road, looked at the figure in the past, and subconsciously spoke: "Dudu, how did you come out of Baizifang......

"I've just been to the Queen's Bedroom, is Your Majesty going too?" Gongsun Zhi's indifferent eyes crossed the corner of his eye and looked at him, "The queen is estimated to have fallen asleep now." ”

His eyes were like a sharp sword, Liu Xie hurriedly lowered his head and whispered: "I ...... Right now...... Not now. ”

"Hmm."

There was a short syllable whispered over there, and the shadows under the light just left, Liu Xie raised his head and looked at the back of the indifferent departure, and then looked at the queen's bedroom on the other side, and reached out to wipe away a bead of sweat that slipped across the corner of his eye, looking timid.

In the other hand is a beautiful hairpin, which is tightly pinched.
