Xiang Kunlun asked Guo Jia, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to take seven thousand troops to clear out the Yellow Turban Army in Qiao County, while he himself took Xu Chu and a hundred white horse Yi Cong to escort Lu Su and his wife to a small mountain village.
"Zijing, are you sure Mr. Hua Tuo is here?"
Xiang Kunlun looked at the inconspicuous mountain village in front of him with some disbelief and said to Lu Su.
"This... General, Zijing himself is not sure now, but the information he found before is indeed here."
For a moment, even Lu Su himself was not sure. He hesitated and didn't know what to say, so he had to look at Xiang Kunlun helplessly.
Xiang Kunlun looked at Lu Su speechlessly for a moment, and could only say, "Okay, I'll just go find these local villagers and ask. Zhongkang, protect Zijing and Mrs. Lu."
"No, don't worry, my lord."
Xu Chu slightly arched his hands towards Xiang Kunlun, grabbed the long knife in his hand, and led a group of white horse followers to protect Lu Su's carriage in the middle.
Xiang Kunlun, on the other hand, entered the village with dozens of white horse followers. In the mountain village, several mountain people in simple clothes were talking and laughing as they walked home carrying hoes. Suddenly, they saw the Xiang Kunlun rushed into the village with his white horse.
"The Yellow Turban Army is coming, the Yellow Turban Army is coming! Run!"
A mountaineer who reacted very quickly shouted loudly and ran back to his home quickly. The remaining mountaineers also hurriedly ran towards their homes.
"These mountain people... think of us as the Yellow Turban Army?"
A Bai Ma Yi Cong soldier said speechlessly, and other soldiers around him also looked at Xiang Kunlun with a wry smile. At this time, Xiang Kunlun also looked at the reaction of the mountain people with a speechless expression.
In the mountain village, a dozen mountain people holding forks, hoes, and shovels ran out and looked at Xiang Kunlun and his party with vigilance. Behind them, a hobbling old man walked slowly with a cane. Walked out.
"I wonder, gentlemen, why are you here?"
The old man looked at Xiang Kunlun and others and recognized them at a glance. These people were not the Yellow Turban Army or bandits, but officers and soldiers.
Xiang Kunlun turned over and dismounted, bowed slightly to the old man, cupped his hands, and said, "Old man, I am the magistrate of Zhongling County. I heard that Mr. Hua Tuo lives here in seclusion, so I came here to pay a visit. If there is any offense, Please forgive me."
After listening to Xiang Kunlun's words, the old man slowly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he came to visit Hua Tuo. The old man said to the mountain people behind him holding farm tools, "Go back, it's okay, this general." They are officers and soldiers, not the inhuman bandits of the Yellow Turban Army."
"But, Uncle Li, they..."
Several mountain people were still a little worried and refused to put down the farm tools they were facing Xiang Kunlun and others.
"Okay, if this general wants to take action, can you still stand here now? Go back quickly!"
The old man became a little sullen and stared at several mountain people fiercely. Those mountain people who still refused to leave realized that, yes, if these military masters wanted to take action, their heads would have been chopped off long ago. Where would I still be standing here today
After all the mountain people dispersed, the old man bowed to Xiang Kunlun and saluted again, "We are all from the mountains, so please don't blame me, General."
"Old man, get up quickly, Xiang doesn't mean that.",
Xiang Kunlun quickly helped the old man to stand up, "Old man, Xiang came here just to visit Mr. Hua Tuo. May I ask if Mr. Hua Tuo lives here?"
"Exactly, Mr. Yuanhua is living in seclusion in our village. However, Mr. Yuanhua went up the mountain to collect medicine yesterday and has not returned yet."
The old man said to Xiang Kunlun, and then took Xiang Kunlun to the thatched cottage where Hua Tuo lived.
At a glance, Xiang Kunlun saw that the thatched cottage was very simple, a simple thatched cottage, and there was a faint aroma unique to Chinese medicinal herbs floating in the air around it.
Looking at the environment where Hua Tuo lived, Xiang Kunlun couldn't help but feel a sense of respect in his heart. This Hua Tuo was really a person worthy of admiration.
At this time, a middle-aged woman slowly walked into the courtyard of the thatched cottage carrying a basket on her back. The old man saw the middle-aged woman, turned to Xiang Kunlun and said, "This is Mr. Yuanhua's wife." , Mrs. Hua, this is General Xiang, the magistrate of Zhongling County, who is here to pay a visit to Mr. Hua."
When the woman heard this, she quickly put down the backpack in her hand, bowed her luggage towards Xiang Kunlun, and said, "I have seen General Xiang."
"Madam, there is no need to be polite. Xiang came here because he wanted to ask for Mr. Hua. He has offended me by visiting so rashly."
Xiang Kunlun cupped his fists and saluted Mrs. Hua, and said humbly.
Seeing Xiang Kunlun's humble appearance, Mrs. Hua's uneasiness completely dissipated, and she asked with some confusion, "I wonder what the general is here for?"
"Hey, Mr. Xiang has a good friend. His wife suffers from a difficult and complicated disease. She has searched famous doctors everywhere to no avail. I heard that Mr. Hua is here now, so I came here. I hope Mr. Hua can help."
"Oh? Intractable disease?"
Only then did Mrs. Hua understand that it was to cure the disease. Knowing Xiang Kunlun's purpose, Mrs. Hua said to Xiang Kunlun. "Can the general allow me to meet this lady?"
"Of course, Xiang will take his wife there right now."
Xiang Kunlun hurriedly took Mrs. Hua out of the village and came to the carriage protected by Xu Chu. Lu Su saw Xiang Kunlun coming out and hurriedly greeted him.
"General, who is this?"
"This is Mr. Hua's wife. Madam, this is Xiang's friend. His wife is suffering from that difficult disease."
"Lu Zijing has met Madam and asked Madam and Mr. Hua to save my Madam!"
When Lu Su heard that she was Hua Tuo's wife, he quickly fell to the ground and said to Mrs. Hua.
"Sir, please get up quickly and let me see how your wife is doing. Although I am not proficient in medical skills, I have learned a lot from my husband over the years. I will try my best."
Mrs. Hua's words immediately calmed Lu Su's heart, and he stood up and respectfully moved away from the carriage, "Thank you, Madam."
Mrs. Hua nodded slowly, lifted the curtain of the carriage with a solemn expression, and walked in. After she entered, Lu Su's expression eased somewhat but he was still pacing back and forth outside the carriage in annoyance, feeling uneasy.
"Zijing, don't worry. Mrs. Hua will take a look at your wife first. Besides, there is also Mr. Hua. What are you afraid of?"
Xiang Kunlun looked at Lu Su who was pacing back and forth in front of him, rubbed his dizzy head, and said slowly.
