Chapter 690 Unexpected Relationship
After a brief chat, seeing that Huo Qubing looked tired, Zhou Xu asked him where he lived now.
After learning that the other party had already sold his house to make a living and now lived in a dilapidated thatched house, he directly ordered people to clean up a room in the city lord's mansion for Huo Qubing to stay.
To be honest, Huo Qubing still doesn't understand why Zhou Xu values him so much.
But no matter what, his gratitude towards Zhou Xu has become even stronger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
As he spoke, Huo Qubing was about to kneel down again. Seeing this, Zhou Xu hurriedly supported him.
"Okay, you are too weak, so don't kneel down all the time. If there is anything in your room, I can ask someone to move it here for you, and then find a doctor to treat you. The most urgent thing for you right now is to cure your illness first."
Hearing this, Huo Qubing's gratitude was beyond words.
However, he was also a sensible man. He knew that his body was weak to begin with and he was still ill. He was already helping their king by not causing trouble. Even if he wanted to serve them in the future, he had to recover from his illness first.
While the two were chatting, his personal soldiers had already roughly figured out the layout and rooms of the City Lord's Mansion.
Zhou Xu simply asked Huo Qubing to choose a room to rest.
In the past, after such an ordeal, he would have to sit in a chair for a while before he could recover and have the strength to walk.
But today, for some reason, maybe because I was too emotional, I was in a much better state than before.
He didn't even take a break and just walked straight into the room, which made Huo Qubing secretly amazed.
During this time, watching Huo Qubing's slowly walking away, Zhou Xu knew that according to his condition, it would not be enough to just cure the cold first.
The reason why Huo Qubing was weak and sickly was due to his congenital deficiency.
However, it is very difficult for people with congenital deficiencies to make up for them through acquired factors.
It is true that Huo Qubing was a top talent in internal affairs, but he was also a talent who was at risk of dying if he was not careful.
It is even possible that it breaks unexpectedly before it even starts to work, leaving him with nothing in the end.
Rounding it off, this can be considered a venture capital.
[I'll go back and study the medical development here. If that doesn't work, at least I can still rely on Ye Yan.]
Ye Yan is the first five-star character under his command. He possesses five-star intelligence and is the backbone of their Great Zhou medical development.
Zhou Xu undoubtedly had high hopes for Ye Yan. As long as Ye Yan was there, the medical development of their Great Zhou would be guaranteed.
This also made Zhou Xu firmly believe that as long as Huo Qubing could hold on for a few more years, Ye Yan would always find a way to make it up to him.
With this mentality in mind, Zhou Xu first asked the doctor in his army to examine Huo Qubing. At the same time, he ordered people to find the best doctor in the city and asked the two of them to examine Huo Qubing in turn.
The doctors in the army will go directly with the troops and arrive faster.
After meeting Huo Qubing, he simply took a look at his complexion, asked about his symptoms, and after understanding the situation, he was basically able to confirm it.
"Reporting to the king, this little brother's condition should be a winter cold."
Huo Qubing had previously said that he had caught a cold, and to Zhou Xu, this actually meant the same thing.
Influenced by him, people in the Great Zhou simply called this disease winter cold.
In the winter, many places there are very cold, such as the grasslands and the mountains.
This kind of disease is inevitable every winter, which makes the doctors in their Great Zhou very experienced in dealing with this symptom.
While they were talking, the doctor had already written the prescription.
"If nothing goes wrong, take the medicine three times a day for three to five days and you will get better. However, this little brother is very weak and his recovery ability is probably much worse than that of ordinary people."
Hearing this, Huo Qubing, who was sitting there, also smiled with shame.
He was actually used to hearing similar words since he was a child. But this time, because Zhou Xu, who admired him, was standing next to him, Huo Qubing felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart that had not been seen for a long time when he was said this.
But the doctor didn't care about that and continued reporting to Zhou Xu.
Considering that the person in front of him was the one their king personally requested to be cured, the doctor was now being cautious when prescribing the medicine.
"How about this, take this prescription for three days first, and I'll come back to check on the situation after three days, and make adjustments based on the recovery."
"Thank you very much, doctor."
As for his own illness, Huo Qubing himself could be considered a good doctor after years of illness. According to his own experience, it would probably take ten days or half a month to recover.
Just then, a personal soldier came in with a lame man carrying a medicine box.
Huo Qubing, who was sitting in the house, was obviously surprised to see the other party.
"Uncle Zhang."
Hearing this shout, the middle-aged man called Uncle Zhang was also startled. Then, after noticing the presence of Huo Qubing, a look of surprise also appeared on his face.
"Are you two relatives?"
Hearing the question, Huo Qubing replied respectfully to Zhou Xu: "My uncle is Zhang Jingyan. We are not relatives, but we have a close relationship."
"I have been weak and sickly since I was young. When I was sick as a child, my father asked Uncle Zhang's father to treat me. At that time, Uncle Zhang also accompanied me as a disciple and learned from him."
Zhang Jingyan nodded upon hearing this.
"But my father passed away five years ago. I have been treating him for these years."
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared on Huo Qubing's face.
"Uncle Zhang's grandfather was a divine doctor of the Han Dynasty. He was also a chosen one by God. When the Han Dynasty was still in existence, he was the imperial physician. He died at the hands of bandits when the country was destroyed. His father and my father were also friends. He was an elder who watched me grow up since I was a child."
The relationship between Zhang Jingyan and Huo Qubing was a little beyond Zhou Xu's expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.
Huo Qubing was born with congenital defects and was weak and sickly since childhood. In order to raise him, in addition to the family having to be rich, there must also be a capable enough doctor to treat him.
Under this premise, Huo Qubing's grandfather was an official of the Han Dynasty, and Zhang Jingyan's grandfather was the imperial physician of the Han Dynasty.
After all this, the relationship between them is not surprising.
To some extent, it is simply a matter of course.
Update is here. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be more updates after 10:30 (End of this chapter)
