Chapter 356 Hua Tuo and Cao Cao



The Three Kingdoms plane.

A small village nestled at the foot of the mountain.

Hua Tuo, who had just returned from collecting herbs, felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere in the village.

Several villagers who saw him were hesitant to speak.

The cowardice and fear on everyone's faces made him feel that something bad might have happened.

really.

Before he returned to the house that the villagers helped him build, he saw a group of soldiers guarding there from afar.

The head of the village who had advised him to stay here and persuaded the local elders to build a house for him was talking to a man who looked like an officer.

When the village head saw Hua Tuo, his eyes lit up and he waved at him, "Divine Doctor Hua, great wealth is coming!"

The officer also turned around and asked in surprise: "Is this Hua Tuo?"

If Hua Tuo was lucky enough to drink a glass of longevity wine in a tavern, even if it was just the cheapest kind, it would make him rejuvenate and return to his middle-aged appearance.

"It's me." Hua Tuo said.

He felt helpless.

He had fled here to avoid being conscripted by the government.

When he was treating the daughter of the village head, he accidentally revealed his background. The other party insisted that she would keep the secret for him, but she turned around and revealed his identity.

A group of soldiers had quietly surrounded him.

The officer smiled and saluted, saying, "I've heard of the name of Doctor Hua for a long time, and seeing him today really opened my eyes!"

He then put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "The Prime Minister is ill. I heard that Divine Doctor Hua is here, so he asked me to ask you to come and treat him."

Hua Tuo looked at the people around him and nodded helplessly.

As soon as he stepped into the tavern, he had a premonition that this day would come.

When they learned of his identity, several people actually recognized him.

The most enthusiastic one is Zhao Gang.

From the man everyone called Political Commissar Zhao, he learned that he lived in a period more than a thousand years earlier than the other party.

According to Zhao Gang and others, he was persecuted by Cao Cao after he did not return home due to his absence from work to treat Cao Cao's illness.

Of course, the gentleman refuted several people, saying that he was not asking for leave, but was going to perform a skull surgery on Cao Cao...

When they heard the news, they were all very surprised.

It was not until he received a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from Zhao Gang that he found out what was going on.

The events recorded in that book were surprisingly consistent with the reality he was living in.

Cao Cao used the emperor to command the princes, appointed himself prime minister, and divided the world into three parts with Liu Bei and Sun Quan.

Am I just living in a novel?

Hua Tuo once doubted the reality of the world, but soon accepted this reality.

Life is not a book.

At least his fate had changed when he stepped into the tavern.

In order to avoid what would happen in the "future", he deliberately avoided the court.

However, despite all his attempts to evade, he was still found by the other party.

He wanted to refuse, but was worried that the other party would vent his anger on the people around him.

Uncle Liu has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, so he might not be so despicable, but Cao Cao is completely different, and he is capable of doing such a thing.

He was just afraid of trouble, not really afraid of the other party.

Under the close care of two soldiers, Hua Tuo packed his things and followed the two men into the carriage.

He still underestimated his own reputation.

When the rejuvenation happened, his name as a god had already spread.

After hearing the news, Cao Cao sent people to look for him.

After arriving in Xuchang, Hua Tuo was sent to the Prime Minister's residence without stopping.

Along the way, he was silently looking up medical books, but the style of the books surprised the two soldiers.

After he casually mentioned some of the two's minor ailments and prescribed some medicine, the two thanked him profusely.

"Doctor Hua, don't worry. The Prime Minister has admired you for a long time."

"The Prime Minister is very appreciative of talent. Many surrendered generals have been put to important positions under him. For someone as talented as Divine Doctor Hua, the Prime Minister will definitely not treat him unfairly."

The two of them talked to each other, comforting each other sincerely.

If Hua Tuo had not already foreseen the future, he would have almost believed it.

He had heard comments from Zhao Gang and others, and had also read the other party's life story, and knew that this Prime Minister Wei really valued talent.

But corresponding to this is his suspicion and jealousy.

He was selfish and declared, "I would rather betray the world than be betrayed by the world."

He was manic and impulsive, and coveted Zou's beauty, which made Zhang Xiu, who wanted to surrender, rebel in anger, causing countless casualties in the army.

Hua Tuo shook his head secretly, wondering how to deal with the situation next.

He can only heal people, not the world.

He had no ambition, but if he had the chance to persuade Cao Cao to treat the people well, he would not miss it.

To his surprise, while they were waiting, Cao Cao actually came over in person.

As soon as they met, Cao Cao laughed and said, "I have finally waited for you, sir!"

Hua Tuo was so overwhelmed by Cao Cao's courtesy that he couldn't even react.

Thanks to his title of "immortal", Cao Cao obviously attached great importance to Hua Tuo.

He set up a banquet, sat next to Hua Tuo, and talked happily with him.

Hua Tuo's originally nervous mood calmed down a lot.

After the banquet, Cao Cao had a long talk with Hua Tuo.

"I heard that you once regained your youth overnight. Is that true?" Cao Cao finally got to the point.

Hua Tuo secretly said, "Here it comes."

He was not stupid, so he naturally knew that Cao Cao would not flatter him like that for no reason.

The reason why the other party's attitude was so friendly was obviously because he had the "art of immortality".

Cao Cao did not mention it during the banquet, but his men hinted at it more than once.

Facing Cao Cao's burning gaze, Hua Tuo did not hide anything and nodded, saying, "It is true."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and his gaze became even more intense: "How did you do it, sir?"

Hua Tuo opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to say "drink", but then he felt it was inappropriate.

He didn't want to tell Cao Cao about the tavern.

Seeing him hesitate, Cao Cao smiled and said nonchalantly: "I have seen many alchemists over the years, and killed even more!"

He said murderously, "These swindlers think they know a little trick and want to come here to cheat me. Killing them would be a good thing for them."

He changed the subject and said with a smile: "You are the first person with such real ability as Mr. Ru."

Hua Tuo bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I am too kind. I am just a country doctor."

Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Sir, why are you being so modest? If you say you are an ordinary person, then what are we? Are we not even as good as ordinary people?"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly stood up and said in a long voice: "I beg you, sir, to teach me the art of immortality!"

Hua Tuo quickly stood up, supported Cao Cao with both hands and said, "Prime Minister, you are embarrassing me!"

But Cao Cao did not stand up.

As he got older, his health deteriorated over the years, and the hidden injuries in his body from earlier years also began to appear, tormenting him day and night.

The worst thing was the headaches that came from time to time, making it even more unbearable for him.

He was about to achieve great success and he didn't want to die halfway.

He wanted to ask God for immortality! Hua Tuo happened to appear, which was a gift from God.

Seeing that Cao Cao did not get up, Hua Tuo felt helpless.

He said aloud: "I do have the secret of immortality."

Cao Cao immediately stopped moving.

This is what he had thought of along the way.

If Cao Cao could really do it, he wouldn't mind buying him a method of cultivating immortality in the tavern.

When Cao Cao heard this, his face darkened.

He felt that Hua Tuo was making fun of him.

Is it so easy to take out one million taels of gold?

If he really emptied the national treasury, how could he support his million-strong army? Wouldn't that give Liu Bei and Sun Quan an opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

As for ten years...

Can his body wait another ten years? At this moment, a sharp pain struck his forehead.

Cao Cao groaned, pressed his head with both hands, and staggered back to the bed.

It took him a while to recover from the pain.

He looked at Hua Tuo and said with a wry smile: "Sir, look at my body. I'm afraid I won't last more than ten years."

Hua Tuo noticed the pain Cao Cao looked in when he had his previous illness.

He hesitated and said, "Or I can help the Prime Minister diagnose it, maybe there is a way to cure it."

Cao Cao glanced at Hua Tuo and hesitated for a moment.

He then thought that the other party had the secret of immortality and he could not force it, so it would be better to let him cure his headache first and then work on it slowly.

He nodded and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the doctor."

Cao Cao stretched out his hand.

Hua Tuo took his pulse.

He asked one or two questions from time to time and gradually made a decision.

Looking at Cao Cao in front of him, Hua Tuo seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Cao Cao was actually uneasy at his expression and asked, "Sir, why don't you just speak frankly?"

Could it be that he had some incurable disease? Now that the three kingdoms were confronting each other, he must not let anyone else know about this!

Unless he can help me cure the hidden danger...

Just when Cao Cao was ready to kill him, Hua Tuo sighed and said, "The Prime Minister's headache is caused by wind. The root of the disease is in the brain, and the wind saliva cannot be discharged."

Hua Tuo didn't want to say it at first. After all, according to the book, it was because of his truth that he angered the sensitive and suspicious Cao Cao, which led to his death.

Even though he is not afraid of Cao Cao now, he does not want to add to the trouble.

But the doctor's conscience forced him to speak.

Maybe now that Cao Cao knows how extraordinary I am, he won’t persecute me anymore?

"I have a method," Hua Tuo said, "First drink the Ma Fei Tang, then use a sharp weapon to split open the head and take out the wind saliva, and the prime minister will be able to eliminate the root cause."

"How dare you!" Cao Cao slammed the table and stood up, furious. "I trust you in every way, and you dare to murder me!"

"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

"Someone, put him in death row!"

Immediately, several guards rushed in and arrested Hua Tuo without saying a word.

Hua Tuo did not resist and his face was full of disappointment.

The book of fate finally turned to this page.

He originally still had some hope.

"I'll give you one day. When you figure it out and are willing to show me the secret of immortality, I'll pretend that this never happened. Otherwise, I'll see if your head really can't be chopped off!"

After Cao Cao said this, he had Hua Tuo taken away and began to groan, holding his head.

His anger caused his headache to flare up again.

But just when his headache was relieved, he suddenly heard his personal guards running over in panic, exclaiming: "Prime Minister, it's bad, Hua Tuo has disappeared!"

"Disappeared?" Cao Cao was stunned.

"Yes, he disappeared as soon as he entered the Heavenly Prison." The guard said with horror on his face.

Cao Cao suddenly felt cold all over and realized that he might have done something terribly wrong.

Hua Tuo appeared in the tavern.

He was still in shackles.

This embarrassed appearance surprised the guests in the tavern.

Li Yunlong, who was bragging to Huang Yaoshi, looked over and said in astonishment, "How did Divine Doctor Hua become like this? Is there anyone who can catch you?"

Even Chenxiang and Xiaotian Dog, who were drinking with Ye Fan, looked over.

Hua Tuo smiled wryly and recounted what had happened.

Li Yunlong was furious: "This thief Cao is not bullying you at all, he is simply slapping us in the face!"

Hua Tuo was a kind person and always had a good relationship with people.

Ye Fan put down his wine glass and said, "Take me with you, I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

He had to speak to Cao Cao nicely, saying that Hua Tuo was someone he was protecting.

He had always been very interested in the Three Kingdoms, a country that produced many heroes.

If he had the chance, he would really like to go and see it.

Roaring Sky Dog went ahead and broke the shackles with a wave of his hand. He then put his arm around Hua Tuo's shoulders and said, "I'll go with you to see. Doesn't Cao Cao know that you are my brother?"

Li Yunlong saw that many people were speaking up for Hua Tuo and said with a smile, "Yes, we should teach that grandson a lesson!"

Even Zhu Youjian, who was not far away, echoed the sentiment.

As an emperor of good family background, he did not like traitors like Cao Cao who held the emperor hostage to control the princes.

Ying Zheng and Li Shimin, who had a Go set in front of them, looked at each other and said nothing.

To others, Cao Cao could be considered a rare hero, but the two did not take it seriously.

Ying Zheng was able to unify China, and he had reason to be proud of it.

Li Shimin even commented on Cao Cao that "he has more wisdom than a general, but lacks the talent to lead ten thousand chariots."

His situation was similar to that of Cao Cao, but since he was able to defeat various princes and assist his father in establishing the Tang Dynasty, he naturally had the qualifications to look down on the other side.

Faced with the enthusiasm of the crowd, Hua Tuo felt a little embarrassed.

All the resentment in his heart disappeared.

"Thank you all for your kindness," he bowed to everyone and thanked them one by one, "but this matter..."

He suddenly sighed, not knowing what to say.

Cao Cao cannot be considered a good man, but he is the lord of Wei after all.

If something happened to him, it would inevitably cause chaos again in this already troubled world.

What's more, no one can guarantee that after Cao Cao's death, his successor will be stronger than him.

Hua Tuo didn't like Cao Cao, but he hated chaos in the world even more.

Huang Yaoshi guessed his thoughts and said with a smile: "Divine Doctor Hua is worried that the people will be affected, right?"

Hua Tuo smiled bitterly and nodded.

"It's a simple matter." Huang Yaoshi said with a smile.

He is very experienced in dealing with such things.

The situation in the Song Dynasty where he was was very similar.

The Jin Dynasty was pressing forward step by step, the Song Dynasty retreated to a place and struggled to survive, and the Mongolian people on the grassland were rising.

He didn't want to interfere in these worldly affairs at first, but times have changed. Even if he doesn't intervene directly now, he still makes the world run according to his ideas.

In this chess game, he is now the only one holding the pieces.

"With so many friends willing to help, you can use this opportunity to quell the war and truly unify the world!" said Huang Yaoshi.

Hua Tuo showed a delighted look on his face: "Please give me some advice, Master Pharmacist!"
