Emperor Ling of Han was the last powerful emperor of the Han Dynasty, a figure who could have altered the course of history, yet he became the root cause of the empire's collapse.
Fate ha...
The medical students then witnessed a comical scene: Zhang Rang had barely run out of the medical school when Zhao Zhong followed closely behind.
"Master, Master! Do you think all eunuchs these days are so rushed when they do things?"
"Tsk tsk, their speed is almost as fast as when we were being chased and beaten back then."
Hua Tuo, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes upon hearing his disciple's words and glanced at Zhao Zhong, who was running at top speed.
Then Hua Tuo looked at his disciple with a half-smile: "If you say another word, I will make you run as fast as them!"
The disciple's eyes lit up. "Master, do you have a plan? Tell me quickly, so we can escape faster next time."
Hua Tuo's lips twitched, his gaze slowly sweeping down to the lower half of this foolish disciple's waist, and he said lightly:
"Just cut it!"
"Cut it? Cut what, my mentor?"
The disciple was taken aback, then realized that his master's gaze seemed a little strange. He followed Hua Tuo's gaze downwards and then understood what his master meant.
"Waaah~"
Hua Tuo's disciple quickly covered his mouth with one hand and his lower body with the other, looking at Hua Tuo with pleading eyes.
Hua Tuo pursed his lips slightly, turned his head away, closed his eyes, and ignored his disciple's comical appearance.
At this moment, Zhang Rang had already run to the main street and headed straight for the palace. The medical school was not far from the palace, and with the presence of the Yang Sphere, even if Zhang Rang was in a hurry, he dared not drive his carriage recklessly through the streets.
After running breathlessly for about fifteen minutes, Zhang Rang finally reached the palace gate, where Zhao Zhong also arrived.
"Zhang...Zhang...Zhang Changshi...Why...Why are you running away?"
Zhao Zhong, panting heavily, bent over and looked at Zhang Rang.
"Why...why should we run away? Do we need to report to you?"
Zhang Rang wasn't in much better shape either; he turned and glared at Zhao Zhong.
After catching their breath, the two entered the palace and then jogged towards the Deyang Hall where the emperor was located.
At the Deyang Palace, a young eunuch standing in front of the palace noticed Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong running over and quickly turned around to go inside the palace to report to Liu Hong.
"Your Majesty! Attendants Zhang and Zhao have returned!"
Liu Hong frowned: "Let them in!"
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong arrived at the Deyang Palace, tidied their appearance, and then walked into the palace together.
"This servant greets Your Majesty!"
Looking at the two kneeling on the ground, Liu Hong nodded calmly. "Get up. I sent you two to oversee the physician assessment. The results aren't out yet, so why are you back so early?"
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Zhang Rang quickly put on a joyful expression and said first, "Your Majesty, this servant has found Hua Tuo. I was a little anxious and delayed important matters. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Hong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly asked, "Oh? He's at the medical school?"
Zhang Rang quickly nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I personally reviewed his paper, and it was a perfect score. Your Majesty is truly a celestial being, able to recognize such a great talent. It is a blessing for the people of the Han Dynasty to have Your Majesty!"
"Excellent, Hua Tuo! I sent people to search for him for so long, but I never expected that he would come to Luoyang so quietly!"
Liu Hong was very excited upon hearing the news about Hua Tuo, and paid no attention to Zhang Rang's flattery.
Seeing the emperor so pleased, Zhang Rang glanced smugly at Zhao Zhong beside him. Seeing Zhang Rang's smug look, Zhao Zhong felt as if he had swallowed a fly, snorted, and turned his head away, no longer looking at him.
Thinking of the doctor named Dong Gan whom he had discovered, Zhao Zhong felt much more at ease and quickly said:
"Your Majesty, while reviewing the examination papers, I discovered a physician who scored full marks. I felt that this person's medical skills must be extraordinary, so I came back to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh? What's his name?"
Liu Hong became interested and couldn't help but think of another extremely famous doctor from the late Han Dynasty. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was not right. It was still more than forty years before he was born. Even if he had caused a butterfly effect, it shouldn't be this exaggerated.
Zhao Zhong bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this man's name is Dong Gan."
The name was unfamiliar to Liu Hong, who said he had never heard of it before. However, being able to achieve a perfect score like Hua Tuo, he must be no ordinary person.
Liu Hong then said with a smile, "Good! You two have done well. I am very pleased to have discovered these two great talents!"
"Serving His Majesty and recommending talented individuals for the Han Dynasty is our duty!"
Seeing the two of them, Liu Hong smiled, turned around and went to the table, picked up a pen and began to write.
A moment later, Liu Hong picked up the paper, went to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, and handed it to Zhang Rang.
"You two hurry back and give this test question to Physician Uncle, and have him add it as a bonus point!"
"promise!"
Zhang Rang respectfully accepted the paper, then carefully folded it and put it in his pocket.
Liu Hong then looked at Zhao Zhong and said, "Go and send someone to find out about this Dong Gan's background. Be thorough."
"promise!"
Then Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong turned and walked out of the hall. Just as they stepped out of the hall, Liu Hong's voice suddenly reached their ears.
"You have to run! Go now!"
"Uh~"
The two felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts; they hadn't even recovered from their shock, and now they had to run away again?
However, this was the emperor's order, and it seemed to be very urgent, so the two dared not delay. Thus, after leaving Deyang Palace, they ran towards the medical school again.
