Nan Ye and his entourage of nine people stayed overnight and arrived at the border of Jiaozhou in one day. Previously, Nan Ye divided his troops in Hebei and went south, and agreed with Liao Hua's minions to gather in the small border town of Jiaozhou. At this time, when he arrived at the border, Nan Ye first went to the meeting place to meet the soldiers and horses.

When everyone arrived at the agreed place, Nan Ye's ten personal guards and ten female soldiers were all waiting for Nan Ye. But Liaohua's five hundred minions were not so neat, only more than a hundred. Without the commander of Liao Hua, it is indeed not easy for these minions with very average ability and perseverance to independently cross Cao Cao's territory and wade through mountains and rivers to Jiaozhou. Few of the lost minions were captured by Cao Cao, and most of them were not strong-willed and could not endure the hardships of the long journey, so they fell into the grass or returned to their hometowns halfway.

Liao Hua saw that the number of people under his command had been reduced by four-fifths, and his face was extremely ugly. Nan Ye didn't care, and said to Liao Hua: "Soldiers are expensive, not too expensive." Those lost soldiers will also be deserters if they go to war in the future. In my opinion, the remaining more than 100 talents are elite, loyal, brave, and wise, and such soldiers are worthy of being my Jiaozhou soldiers. ”

Hearing Nan Ye say this, Liao Hua's mood improved. As Nan Ye said, even if all the 500 soldiers arrive in Jiaozhou, there will be more than 100 soldiers who can be recognized by Nan Ye, and the rest of the minions will probably be arranged to go to agriculture and business. Now after this big wave of sand, the rest are elite, and they are no longer minions, as long as they have a little training, they are qualified Jiaozhou soldiers.

Because Nan Ye and Hua Tuo practiced medicine all the way, they were delayed in Jingzhou for more than a month. The guards and female soldiers had already arrived in Jiaozhou, and they also waited for Nan Ye Yueyu in the city and collected some news.

A personal guard said: "Qi Qi National Teacher, the Dart Bureau has news from the South China Sea, Mr. Zhicai is seriously ill and hospitalized, please go to Jiaozhou and return to the South China Sea quickly." ”

Nan Ye was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect Xi Zhicai to be sick. If it was recorded in the star record, Xi Zhi would have died of illness a long time ago. However, Nan Ye has always paid attention to the health of the generals under his command, and never let the frail Xi Zhicai join the army, and the medical and health level of Jiaozhou is the first in the Han Dynasty. So Xi Zhicai's health has always been good, and Nan Ye never thought that he would die young.

At this time, the news that Xi Zhicai was seriously ill was really like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made Nan Ye feel that he was destined for life and death, and he was powerless to return to the sky. However, this sense of powerlessness was fleeting, and Nan Ye suddenly remembered that the fate of countless people had changed because of himself, and there was no reason why he couldn't reverse the fate of Xi Zhicai. Besides, he still has the ability to give stars to change his life against the sky, and he also has Hua Tuo, a miracle doctor, by his side.

Thinking of this, Nan Ye waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll go back to the South China Sea as soon as possible." ”

Xi Zhicai lay on the hospital bed and looked at Nan Ye who was sweating profusely with a smile, he really didn't expect that Nan Ye didn't return home after arriving in Jiaozhou, so he came to the hospital to visit him first. I couldn't help but feel a warmth in my heart.

When Nan Ye arrived at the hospital, he learned that Xi Zhicai was out of danger, and now he was just recuperating in the hospital, which made Nan Ye relieved and asked Xi Zhicai: "Is Zhicai in better health?" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "Zhong is just occasionally feeling cold at night, mage doesn't have to worry about me, let's go home and visit the second lady quickly." ”

Nan Ye asked in surprise, "What happened to the cicada?" ”

Xi Zhicai was even more surprised: "Isn't the mage still aware that there is a daughter in the family?" ”

Nan Ye asked carefully and learned that his Jihua birth was very successful, and Diao Chan, who had not used intrafacial contraception before, gave birth to a daughter when he was fighting in Hebei. It was precisely because Diao Chan took a break from maternity leave that the pressure on Xi Zhicai, who was in charge of the Intelligence Department, increased the pressure to work overnight, and he was overworked and suffered from the cold.

As soon as Xi Zhicai saw Nan Ye's expression, he knew that he was worried about his condition, and he didn't inquire about the news at home at all, which made Xi Zhicai even more moved. He arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the mage for adding a noble girl!" The subordinate officials are useless, and they can't share the mage's worries and solve problems, but it makes the mage worried. ”

Nan Ye waved his hand and said: "Zhicai is my right-hand man, if there is no ambition to Jiaozhou, there will be no weather today." Although the addition of a new young girl to the family is not a trivial matter, it is not enough to compare with Zhicai. When I returned from this trip, I invited Mr. Hua Tuo back, Mr. is my Han miracle doctor, and asked Mr. to show Zhicai. ”

Hua Tuo was by Nan Ye's side, and when he heard the words, he gave Xi Zhicai a pulse. After a while, Hua Tuo nodded and said, "Mr. Xi is no longer in trouble, and he only needs to be raised for a few more days to recover." The old man wants to go to see other patients, but I wonder if the national teacher can agree? ”

Nan Ye originally planned to let Hua Tuo work in the hospital, so he found a nurse to lead Hua Tuo to visit the hospital, and Xu Shu and others were also discharged from the ward by Nan Ye. Only Nan Ye and Xi Zhicai were left in the ward, and Nan Ye said: "Although Zhicai's illness is not a big deal this time, I must take care of my health in the future." I have a secret method that can prolong people's life and strengthen their health, but this method should not be used too much, and the ambition must not be passed on. After that, Nan Ye used the star granting skill to use ten general stars, adding ten years of longevity to Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai saw a milky white halo coming out of Nan Ye's palm, and instantly enveloped his whole body, and after a while, the halo disappeared in his body, and his originally weak body suddenly felt refreshed, and his body also had strength. Xi Zhicai was in charge of intelligence, and he had been in the South China Sea, so he naturally knew that Nan Ye had given Huang Xu a star to renew his life, so he asked Nan Ye: "What is the method used by the mage to prolong his life?" ”

Nan Ye originally wanted Huang Zhong's father and son to work for him, so he made Xuan Xuan say that the star-giving skill was amazing. However, for an old minister like Xi Zhicai who is loyal to him, Nan Ye doesn't need to say it so godly, so as not to burden him too much, so he said: "This method is not far from the method of giving stars and extending life, but there is no need to borrow life, it just consumes a little vitality to cultivate." ”

Although Nan Ye said this, Xi Zhicai was still grateful, and thanked him: "How can you be loyal to what virtue you can do, so that the mage values it so much." Zhongdang did his best to repay the great grace of the mage's life. ”

Nan Ye smiled: "Zhicai, don't work too hard!" It's better for you to take care of your body than anything else. ”

The two chatted about the battle of Guandu for a while, and Nan Ye told Xi Zhicai to recuperate in peace, and he said goodbye and left the hospital. As soon as he got out of the hospital gate, Nan Ye led Huang Yueying, Xu Shu and others back to the house, don't look at him in front of Xi Zhicai, he pretended not to care, but he was always worried about Diao Chan and his daughter in his heart.

A moment later, Nan Ye arrived at the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, and a group of civil and military officers all went out of the mansion to greet him, and Huang Zhong was actually among the crowd. As soon as Nan Ye asked, he learned that Huang Xu was left by Yu Ji in Langya Palace to recuperate, so Huang Zhong returned to Jiaozhou to report to Nan Ye. His martial arts and archery skills were quickly recognized by the generals, and he became one with a group of generals.

After Nan Ye introduced Xu Shu, Zhuge Jin and others, he took Huang Yueying back to the inner house. Cai Yan's daughters had already learned that Nan Ye had returned home, and they were all waiting in the inner house. After Nan Ye entered the door, he was not tempted by a group of beauties, and asked, "Where is my baby daughter?" ”
